Dorrington, Hayward, Ell-- combe, and Co., 16, Parliament-street The national object of this undertaking is to create a direct and united communication between the eastern and western parts of the kingdom. On reference to a railway map of England, it will at once be seen that Stafford and Crewe, on the Grand Junction and Derby, and Belper, en the Midland Railway, are the centres to which a great number of lines of railway, either already constructed or projecte "'"' d, co nverge ; and between these four points no ra i l w ay exists. The West Midland Railway proposes to unite these points in the fol!owing way :—By commencing one of its arms at Crewe station, on the Grand Junction Railway, which will run through or lio n, on Bursham, Stoke-ipon-Trent, Lane End, and Cheadle, to Irttoxeter, where its other arm from Stafford will meet it and proceed thence, by Ashbourne to a point near the Belper station on the Midland Railway, where it will take advantage of the pro posed Derby and Gaineborough, Nottingham and Mansfield, and Roston, Newark, and Sheffield Railwaysopening a direct com munication between Holyhead and other parts of North Wales, Cheshire, Staffordshire, and Shropshire,!en the one hand, and Sheffield, Retford, Mansfield, Nottingham, Newark, Yorvrich, and the ports of Gainsborough, Grimsby, Boston, Spalding, Lynn and Yarmouth, ou the other. Thin line will accommodate a very considerable portion of the traffic proceedlig from the west coast of Scotland, Cumberland, and Lanca shire, into Lincolnshire and the south-eastern parts of the kingdom, and by that portion of the line which is proposed to run between Belper and Stafford, and the whole of the traffic from the out coast of Scotland, Northumberland, Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, and other populous northern counties passing to the west and south west, together with the opulent mineral districts of South Waled, will be effectually served. Passing as this line will do, through a densely-populated and ex tensive manufacturing district, it must be viewed, even in its local character, as one of vast importance. The mere enumeration of the towns affected by it would suffice to show that the traffic over it will be immense ; but, in addition to this, when credit is taken for the thorough traffic passing diagonally over the line from south-east to north-west, and from north-east to southwest, as well as for the corn and other agricultural produce front the eastern counties to the manufacturing districts ; and a return carriage of manufactured goods, slates from North Wales, salt front Cheshire, earthenware from Staffordshire, and iron from Shropshire, for the eOrisuniption of the midland counties as well as for export from the eastern ports of Hull, Grimsby, Boston, Spalding, &c., some adequate idea may be formed of the advantages which the temple ion of this comprehensive scheme will naturally develop. All these objects have been deeply and seriously considered, and deemed of such para mount importance to local interests, that the fullest and Most in fluential support and co-operation have been obtained to effectually carry out and insure the various objects of this undertaking. Surveys of the district have been made with much care, and the result is highly favourable in an engineering point of view. The Committee in the allotment of shares will give a preference to parties locally interested, and in all cases satisfactory reference will be required to some person of known respectability. Power will be taken in the act to allow interest, at the rate of 4/. per cont. per annum, on the deposits, as well as on all fhture calls, from the date of each payment, till the opening of the whole line, or until a dividend be declared ; and the liability of subscribers will be limited by the Act of Parliament to the amount of their respective shares. The shares and all payments made thereon will be forfeited with out notice, should the holders thereof not sign the Subscribers' Agree ment and Parliamentary Contract as soon as required.

John Bentell, Esq., King - William-street, L•ndoi. Messrs. Joseph and William Heron, and Messrs. Nigsoit and Itabims, Manchester That another and a more direct line of railway is necessary between the metropolis and the manufacturing districts around Manchester, is now fully admitted, and the question is, which is the best line to be adopted ? The above proposed railway will form the shortest and moat di rect route from London to Manchester, and will therefore complete the direct communication with the metropolis at a much less expen diture of capital than by either of the projected London and Man ehester lines (Remington's and Ashurst's), the actual distance to be constructedAerfu preliminarybeingonl 7OtoIO the promoters of this ' railway to adopt nearly a straightline from Rugby to Macclesfield, as only 73, survey instea n d as o f determined l an increased expenditure of 200,0001. or 300,0001. jadiciously applied in the present perfected state of civil engineering, and at the reduced cost of the execution of earth works, will prove in the end a far greater real economy, both to the Company itself in the saving effected in the annual expense of working, and also, what is of more importance, to the country in general, by accomplishing, at a much less cost, the same end proposed by an entire and distinct line from London to Manchester. These considerations have not been sufficiently kept in view by other parties who have also proposed to make a railway from Rugby to Macclesfield, but who, by deviating from the direct tract to pursue valleys and to avoid the irregularities of the face of the country, obviously lose the advantages proposed by this Company. The Parliamentary deci s ion on the choice of the London and Brighton Railway is a parallel case, the direct line, although presenting more difficulties to overcome, and involving a greater outlay, having been adopted by Parliament in preference to the many competing projects, in a more or less sinuous direction, which were at that time supported in the House Dy very influential parties. Shoald it be found necessary, arrangements have been made by which addlional lines of rails will be laid between Rugby and Lon don on the London and Birmingham Railway, whereby the surplus traffic northwards will be abundantly provided for. This line also possesses the singular advantage ef affording the shortest and most direct route from Manchester to Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth, a feature presented by no other proposed railway. By adopting the Rugby and Oxford branch of the Great Western as far as Didcot, and thence the proposed Oxford, Southamp ton, Gosport, and Portsmouth line, the distance from Manchester to Southampton will be twenty-three miles lees than by any other route, and on this account the project has been warmly supported by the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth Railway Company. The deviations from a perfectly straight line between Rugby and Macclesfield to avoid high ranges of hills, ornamental parks, or ♦aluable buildings are very slight, and the line in general offers no engineering difficulties of any magnitude. The towns more directly interested as a local line are Nuneaton, Hinckley, Atherstone, Market Bosworth, Burton•upon-Trent, Tutbury, Ashbourne, and Leek. The Company has made arrangements with the North London Junction Railway Company, whereby it has secured the use of their station (of the extent of six acres) in the centre of the City of London, at the bottom of Moorgate-street, which will prove of the utmost mportance to this line. Amidst the many railway projects that now occupy the public mind, and involve a vast outlay of capital, it will readily be conceded that a line that will attain such important results at so small an outlay of capital, and the time required for its construction, and without interfering with any existing vested interests, must meet with general approbation, and at the same time offer a very excellent investment for capital. The shareholders in the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Ports mouth, in the London and Birmingham, and in the Manchester and Birmingham Railways, will have a preference in the allotment of the shares. The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share holders beyond the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament is obtained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 41. per cent. interest in all calls.

The objects intended to be accomplished by this undertaking are— Firstly—The supply of local railway accommodation to the impor tant districts embraced by the line. Secondly—The benefit of railway communication with the metro polis to a district of country upwards of fifty miles in length at pre sent unprovided with that accommodation. Thirdly—The completion of the chain of railway communication between the river Severn and the southern and western counties, and the north-eastern district of the kingdoms and the river Humber and its ports, including that of Hull. Commencing at the town of Northampton, in conjunction with the London and Birmingham, and the lines of railway proposed to con verge at that town from Cheltenham, and the west from Worcester and from IVarwick, the line will proceed in a direct course to the market town of Kettering, by which place all the companies compet ing for the line of railway between London and Manchester propose to pass. It will then proceed also in a direct course to the market towns:of Uppingham, Oakham, and Grantham, on to Lincoln. The country lying between tire towns of Northampton and Grant ham is wholly without existing or even proposed railway accommo dation, not only to the south but also to the north. At Lincoln the line will fork, and proceed, on the one hand, in a northerly direction to the flourishing port of Gainsborough, and, on the other, by a north-eastern course to the market town and Market Rasen, on to the rising port of Great Grirasby. lily an union with the Sheffield and Great Grimsby Junction Rail way at Market Rosen, a direct and uninterrupted ellen of communi cation will be established between all the above-mentioned districts and the town and port of Hull. The sources of traffic which this line will secure are various and very considerable ; some of them only can be here enumerated, viz.:— Starting from Great Grimsby, the line will appropriate to itself the whole of the traffic front thence to the metropolis, and also the southern, and western districts of the kingdom, and, in addition, it will secure the important and increasing local traffic between that town and Market Rasen and Lincoln. From Gainsborough, the termini of several railways from the north and north-west, this line will carry the traffic to Lincoln, its county town. The traffic from Hull to the metropolis, and also to the west, will enter upon this line at Market Rasen and proceed thereon to Lincoln. From Lincoln the whole of the traffic passing:to the west and the intermediate towns must pass over this line. In tte event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not obtaining their Bill, then the traffic from Lincoln to the south and west, and also the metropolis, will pass along this line of railway; the former the whole distance, and the latter in any event to Grantham, a distance of about twenty-five miles ; and should the London and York Company not succeed, such traffic will proceed on to Kettering or Northampton. The entire district between Grantham and Kettering, a distance of more than forty mites, *and including 'the market towns of Oakingham and Uppingham, is without a railway or water-carriage accommodation, and the whole of its traffic therefore will travel over this line of railway, which will be in the direct course not only to the west but also to London. At Kettering this line will unite with that one of the now com peting schemes passing that town from Manchester and Leicester to London, which shall be successful before Parliament. The country is free from engineering difficulties, with one or two exceptions only, and those are more than counterbalanced by the very favourable gradients of by far the greater portion of the line ; indeed for many miles the line will run upon a water level. The line will not interfere with any ornamental property. The landowners on the line are favourable to the undertaking.' The: promoters reserve power to alter and vary the route, to ex tend the proposed line of railway, and to increase the amount of ca pital as may be necessary or advisable. Prospectuses and plans will be ready for distribution in a few days. In the meantime, applications for shares, in the undermentioned farm, may be addressed to either of the solicitors : roma OF APPLICATION.

This Line will join the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and G,loncester Junction Railway at Chepstow, and extend westward near to Piercideld, the far-famed Win&liff, and Tintern Abbey, to the towns of Usk and Pontypool, and over the centre of the great iron and coal field of South Wales, passing near to and thrmigk the midst of the extensive iron works and collieries of Monmouthshire and Glamor ganshiro, to join the Aberdare branch of the Taff Yale Railway, which connects Merthyr Tydvll and Aberdare with Cardiff—thus forming a much more direct and almost straight Line—by means of the railways already made and projected between those immensely populous districts, and the centre of the kingdom and London, by means of which the journey by land will be shortened between the metropolis and this great seat of industry to four and a half, and between Newport and Cardiff to No hours, which at present, even by the aid of existing railways, cannot he performed in less than from ten to twelve hours. It will be found by reference to the official MUM of 1631 and 1141, that the average Increase of population of the county of Mon mouth exceeded that of any other county in England or Wales ; this fact is referred to as illustrative of the rising importance of the country through which this railway is intended to pass, and of the very large passenger traria which may reasonably be calculated upon. The town of Usk, with Ragland, and the rich agricultural district fur many miles around, are supplied by carts from the vicinity of Pontypool with coal aid lime, which are there obtained at a cheap rate, and in return tattle and provisions of all kinds, hay, corn, and pit timber to an enormous extent, are sent to the iron works and collieries, where the consumption is immense. This traffic alone must neetaisarily ensure a considerable revenue to the Company, in dependent of the great traffic front the manufactured iron, fire bricks, and paving atone, which is of superior quality, and in great abundance. The present cost of conveying and delivering iron and tin plates irom the works to London, including transit to the port, shipping charges, freight, and insurance, amounts I. little leas than 20s. per ton, whilst by this railway, and those it is intended to join, the average cost at the rate usually charged for such goods en rail ways will effect a saving of at least 25 per cent., and he conveyed within twenty-four hours, instead of the average voyage round the Land's Eud of three, and not unfrequently six weeks, and with the very important advantage of delivering the iron free from rose, which is unavoidable on a sea voyage, in small bars more particu larly, causing a deterioration of front 153. to 20a, per ton at least. This railway, by weans of the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction, and the Birmingham and Gloucester Railways, will open Birmingham as a market for the manufactured iron of South Wales, from which it has teen in a measure excluded, from the cll.:Suet and expensive transit by the River Severn and Canals. Large quantities of iron Oro, known as" Dientatete ore," is imported into Wales, *rem Lancashire, Cumberland, Devon, and Cornwall; whilst ore of a similar quality, and equal productiveness for iron making, exists iu abundance in the Forest of Dean, and may be raised and delivered from thence by moans of this And the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway to the different iron works in Momnouthsldrit and Cdamorganshire at an average of from 25 to 30 per cent. leas than it costs at present, and at the same time leave a Itandsonie remuneration to the Railway Companies. The Committee of-Management have gone very carefully into estimates of the goods traffic especially, and they feel justified in expressing a decided opinion that the revenue front this source alox i to will yield 6 per cent, au the proposed capital of the Company, n addition to the revenue to be derived from the other traffic. This Railway will pass close to, and within a few miles of, all the the principal part of iron and tin works of Monmouthshire, a those in Ohniorganshire ; and the ski short statistic of the il l i g give an idea of the vast extent of those stupendous undertak ny, importance of the present project.

In the districts of Merthyr, Aberdare, and westward, there exists an inexhaustible abundance of a peculiar description of coal, which, thellgh inharumable, is nearly smokeless, and is found to be superior vality for steam purposes to any yet known.

This important line will commence at Brighton, and (passing through or contiguous to the towns of Steyning, Petworth, Mid hurst, Peterstleld and Alresford) will join at the Andover Road sta tion of the South-Western Railway , the proposed Southampton, Manchester and Oxford Junction. An arrangement has been entered into with the latter Company, and it is proposed by means of their projected line, that the Brighton and Cheltenham Railway shall proceed through Hunger ford to Swindon. From Petersfleld a shirt branch will be made to Chichester, where, nearly at the same point of junction, the London and Ports mouth direct will intersect the line in its way to Portsmouth. From Swindon it is proposed to proceed by the Manchester and Southampton Railway to Chelt nham, and the North of England by the Derbyshire, Worcestershire and Staffordshire Junction, or other existing and contemplated lines. On reference to the map, it will be seen that the primary object to be obtained by the formation of this line will be the immediate connexion of the northern, western, arid the whole of the manufac turing counties; and North and South Wales, with the southern coast and the populous and fashionable towns of Brighton, Hastings, and Dover. It is unnecessary to observe on the daily increasing traffic between Brighton and Dieppe, which the railroad from the latter place to Rouen, and thence to Paris, must greatly augment; thus, by means of the projected line, a direct communication with France, either from Brighton or Dover, will be opened with the northern counties if England. It is obvious that with those advantages the traffic must neces sarily be large, ithe line passing through the centre of Sussex, con taining a population of about 300,000, at present almost devoid of railway accommodation. Power will be applied for in the Act to increase the capital, if necessary, to alter the line, or to make such deviations or branches therefrom as maybe deemed necessary : also fir the purposes of amal gamation with other Companies, should the same be found desirable. The Company reserves to itself the option of adopting the broad or narrow gauge, or the principle of atmospheric traction, if preferable. No further call beyond the deposit will be made until the Act shall be obtained. In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to parties locally interested, and to the shareholders in the lines with which this Company will be connected. Application for shares may be made to the Solicitors, Secretary, and to the following Sharebrokers, of whom prospectuses, with maps of the line, may be obtained:—London—Messrs.

Under such circumstances, it will not appear unreasonable to those unacquainted with the trade, to expect that the consumption in the metropolis alone will be inereased four fold, whilst a new-found trade will be opened out with Chepstow, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Witney, Oxford, and the numerous inter mediate towns to London, where steam coal is used. It has been considered mere judicious to form a separate Company for the Extension line from Chepstow to the Taff Yale, than to alter the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway Company at present, but powers are proposed to be taken for uniting the two Companies hereafter, with the assent of their respectire boards of Direction. Prettrence will be given to those locally interested, aid to the holders of Shares in the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway. A reference to the map will show the importance of this line as forming a direct line of railway communication between the great mineral distriet of Monmouthshire and Glarnorganshire, with the heart of the Kingdom and London. It may confidently be stated that in connexion with the Chep stow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway, there is not a line of railroad in the Kingdom which offers greater advan tages to the Shareholders than the pr,sent. Prevision will be made in the Act of Parliament which will be applied for in the next ses- Won to limit the liability of the Shareholder to the amount Sc his shares, and to allow four per cent. on the calls. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Company shall be under the control of the Managing Dlreetors, to - whom power is given to allot the Shares, and to apply the feeds Of the Company in payment of all the expenses incurred in its fbrina- Lion, and in the preparation of the Plans and Sections submitted ti - Parliament. Power will be applied tar in the Act (and is the eaatiare is hereby given to the Managing Directors as above), to raise any addl• tional capital, to extend or abandon any branch of the line, to make branch lines, or enter into any arrangements, by amalgamation or otherwise, with any other company or oompanies, and also to nomi nate the first Directors of the Company.
