This line will in its progress feed, and be also fed by the most consi siderable railroads of the kingdom, particularly those of the Great Western ; the Birmingham, Gloucester, laid Bristol ; the Oxford, Worce3ter, and Wolverhampton ; the London and Birmingham ; and the South Staffordshire Railway. As this last line will connect Dudley, Bilston, Wednesbury, Walsall, and Lichfield with the Derby Railway and the Grand Junction Railway, it would be superfluous to expatiate on the advantages of bring ing all nom important centres of the coal and Iron trade and other traffic, and the vast coal and iron fields of Shropshire into close intercourse, and thus establishing the cheapest and quickest means of transit between the minerals of Shropshire and the furnaces of Staffordshire, and the markets of Dublin, London, and Birmingham. The success of the undertaking is secured beyond a doubt, by the obvious fact that it will not only bring the richest mineral and manufacturing portions of England much nearer to the two capitals, but it will open for the carriage of the valuable pro duce of these districts the intermediate country not at present pos sessed of any direct line of railway communication. On the other hand, the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Railway will give to London and the neighbourhood of Birmingham a route to Dublin shorter by nearly seventy miles than that of any other exist ing railroad ; and finally, enable travellers to complete the entire distance in ten hours. It will also ensure two mail deliveries in the day. Up to the point where the line approaches Corwen, no engineering difficulties are presented. At Corwen a deviation from the straight line may be requisite to avoid tunnelling, after which a straight line will be resumed to Bangor, where that already in construction will be adopted for the rest of the route to Holyhead ; or, if found de sirable, power will be taken h► the Bill to continue an independent line by Beaumaris to Holyhead. After a careful investigation of the traffic arising from passengers, the conveyance of mineral and agricultural produce, and the direct transmission of the mails, the Directors fed warranted in anticipating a return of at least ten per cent. on the capital invested. A treaty is in progress with a Steam Navigation Company to run powerfid steamers between the harbours of Holyhead and Kingston on the arrival of the trains, so that passengers and merchandise may be booked throughout from London to Dublin, including all the Inter mediate stations, and be thus enabled to complete the entire distance in ten hours, without the inconvenience so painfully felt of changing from the conveyance of one proprietary to that of another. The railways now in active progress in Ireland, running from Dublin north and south throughout the heart of the island, render it self evident that the chain of communication between the sister countries is, by this present undertaking, rendered at once eomplete and intimate to the last degree. As the leading aim of this Company is to save time and distance, every attention of the Directors, and every advancement in science wilt be made available to gain the utmost possible amount of speed, com patible with safety, the lines being formed expressly for this end ; while, finally, the very lowest rate of fares will be adopted for both passengers and traffic, and the public will find in the improvement of the inferior carriages, and some additional comforts for those of the first class, that the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Rail way will be placed in advance of any other now existing, and ii all its details will be rendered worthy an enterprise as national in its character. Application will be made for a Bill to incorporate the Company early in the next session. The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest at 4/. per cent. per annum on the amount of the subscriptions paid up ; and no subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. Applications for Shares may be made, in the subjoined form, to the following Solicitors, Brokers, and Agents : —Mr. Roger Mortimer, Throgmorton-street, London; B. R.

SECRETARY —John Petheriek, Esq., pro tem. This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda and Ely Valles, with the Smith Wales Railway, at a few miles dis tance from the Port of Cardiff; and to open a new mineral district, one of the richest means most important in South Wales, which is at present without the of transit for its immense and valuable products. It will pass through the Central portion of the great coal-field of Glaniorganshire, where iron-stone also abounds with the coal is im mense quantities, and laying, geologlaelly speaking, nearly fiat, and, obtainable, for the most part, by proper levels, The coal in addition to its being of excellent quality for iron making, as is proved at Mer thyr and Aberdare , is also, like that of those districts, of the very best description for stemq purposes, being nearly smokeless, although inflammable, indeed so pre-eminently is the superiority of this de scription of coal established for Wein purposes over any other, that the demand for it tar exceeds the supply, and promises, accord ing to the °pitiless of the most eminent marine engineers, to super sede all others for Wrposes of steate navigation. This source of traffic alone will afford a handsome return for the capital invested, as has been demonstrated in O'er' Instance where even tram-roads or canals have been constructed to Well tinemineral resources of other less romicing vallies in Wales than the Itheteltia, which is cele bratped for the a bundance, qUality, Mid blow pr &staining its pro ductions. An inexhaustible supply of limestone (so necessary for the manu facture of iron and for agricultural purposes) may be obtained by means of this Railway. much newer and cheaper than by any other line.

The Directors of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway Company, having completed the whole of their arrange ments, and having been compelled to refuse at least three-fourths of the applications for shares in their line, have had their attention forcibly and repeatedly called to the necessity of a direct communi cation between Salisbury and Swindon, the station on the Great Western Railway, by which the most direct and remunerative con nexion will be formed between Southampton and Manchester. The advantages, in point of speed, to be derlved from the broad gauge, as al o the superiority of the gradients obtained by the routs of the Valey of the Avon, together with the importance of placing the city of Salisbury on the main trunk line from the north to South ampton, must insure to this undertaking the sanction of the Legis lature and the local support of the towns and districts through which the line will pass. i+oeiiina with Hu) Ow•nt towns in the north, the :.;alisbury and Swindon Extension will make a complete line of railway between Southampton, Salisbury. and all parts of North and South Wales. After most mature deliberation, the Directors have resolved to re commend to their shareholders and the public the immediate carry ing out of a railway to effect the above aject, which will be most desirable as a completion to their own line, and highly advantageoxs in a pecuniary sense and on public grounds. They have directed all the necessary surveys to be made, so as to apply to Parliament in the ensuing session, at the same time as the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway, with a view to the ultimate atnal gamation of both lines under one management. In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to the holders of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway shares, h ., also to parties locally interested, due regard being at the same had to public interest; and every original shareholder in that lineniZ on production of his scrip certificate, receive an allotment of a s tar number of Salisbury and Swindon Extension shares. The hol6; rs of Great Western, and of Wilts, Somerset, and Wey mouth shares, will also have a preference. Applications n:AY be made, in the following form, to the Provisiona: Committee, at the Offices of the Company, 26, Gresham-street, the solicitors, the local ae:ents, or to the principal brokers in town and country. SOUTH NIL'LAND AND NORTH UNION RAILWAY (Provisionally Registered.) This important line of railway is intended to open a direct commu nication from Staffordshire and the Midland Counties (passing through the Potteries) to the extensive manufacturing town of Sheffield, by means of which it will form the most direct transit for traffic, and the manufactures of all the principal towns, and the agrcultural and mineral produce of the conntry contained within its range. The principal object of this railway is, that it will bring the prin cipality of Wales into immediate connexion with the Midland Coun ties, and will form a continuous trunk line from the north-east to the south-west parts of the kingdom. To the capitalist this undertaking presents a highly beneficial source of remunerative profit, and to the population of the s 4 " h " west midland and northern portions of the kingdom most important advantages. The prospectus, with the names of the Provisional Committee, will he issued in a few days ; in the meantime applications for shares in the usual form may he addressed to the Secretary, at the offices of the Company, 23, Finsbury-place North ; or to the solicitor, S. lien- Esq , Clement's Inn, London.

From Blisworth a line proceeds to Wellingborough, and forms I Junction with the Direct Manchester Railway ; and it is intended that a branch shall be formed from West Wycombe to the station at Slough, on the Great Western Railway The proposed line with the branch will be about seventy-five miles in length, and it has been ascertained that it may be constructed with unusual facility, whilst, by means of the intended junctions with the Great Western Railway at Slough and Reading, with the London and Birmingham Railway at Blisworth, and the Direct Manchester Railway at Wellingborough, an uninterrupted and most desirable railway communication will be opened between Portsmouth, dos port, the Isle of Wight, Southampton, Bedford, Huntingdon, the Staffordshire Potteries, Birmingham, Derby, Leicester, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle and Berwick, and with the great manu, facturing and mining districts of the north of England. The numerous parishes and districts which will be traversed by the line comprise a population of nearly 1,500,000 persons, and passing, as it will, a portion of the counties of Berks and Oxford, the whole of Buckinghamshire, and by the celebrated Vale of Aylesbury, and uniting with the several completed or projected railways under mentioned, viz.:— The London and Birmingham The Great Western The Southampton Union The South Wdland • The Midland Counties The Northampton and Leicester The Northampton and Peterborough, and thus witit The Direct Manchester it cannot bo doubted that it must prove extremely convenient and beneficial to the public, and highly advantageous to the proprietors.

The object of this undertaking is to open a direct line of rail way to connect the Northern, Eastern, and South Essex Ralrways, by means of a steam ferry from Tilbury Fort to Gravesend, with Tunbridge Wells, Lewes, and Brighton. It is contemplated to proceed from the Eastern Counties Rail way at or near Harlow station to Tilbury, crossing the river by a steam floating-bridge to Gravesend, passing by Wrotham to Tunbridge, thence by the South-Eastern Railway to Tunbridge Wells, passing Uckfleld to Lewes, and thence joining the Brighton, Lewes, and Hastings Railway to Brighton. An inspection of the map will clearly show the great import. ance of this railway, whether considered in a local or national point of view, forming as it will a most useliti chain of local com munication for the fertile and populous tracts through which it passes. _ It will bring the Northern and Eastern Counties, the mouth of the Thames, ar.d North Kent, into direct communication, by way of Brighton, with Dieppe and Havre, and thus term, in con. junction with the railways How in progress on the Continent, the shortest possible route to Paris and the Mocliterranean. By this railway the large population of the North Eastern Coun ties, numbering nearly two millions, will have a direct and easy communication with the whole of the populous and important counties of Kent and Sussex, without going round to London, and thereby avoiding the inconvenience arising from the unconnected lines north and south of the metropolis. The utility of this line to the naval and military service, both in times of peace and war, for the conveyance of troops and stores, is evident. With the existing railways, and those now in progress in Kent and Sussex, a most complete system of local communication will be effected; and as such, the projeet has been received with the most distinguished approbation and pledges of support from the principal proprietors along the line, and the Corporation of Gravesend have promised their entire sanction to, and will cordially support it. The ground has been carefully surveyed, and found to present no difficulties to the formation of a good working line. The existing local traffic has been ascertained to be amply suf.. ficient to fulfil the requirements of the undertaking; but a large accession of valuable traffic cannot fail to be the result of the increased accommodotion thus afforded to the public, and rendering the undertaking one of the most important as well as productive lines of railway in that part of the country. The Committee reserve power to themselves to form a branch from Wrotham to Chatham. The liability of the shareholders will be restricted by Act of Parliament to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be applied for in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum en all calls, from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line. Applications for prospectuses, and also for shares, may be ad dressed in the form annexed to George Smith, Esq., Solicitor, 24, Golden.square ; Messrs.

The object of the promoters of this Company is to form a direct line of railway, from Bristol and Bath to Dover; and thus, in effect, unite, connect, or reciprocate with, all the existing and projected lines of railway in the south and south.west and west of England, as well also as form a complete communication with Ireland and all the western and Welsh railways, and most et those in the northern and great manufacturing districts, by which passengers and goods to and from Folkestone and Dover, France and Belgium, may be conveyed without the necessity of passing through the me— tropolis. Branches will be constructed, if hereafter considered requisite, but the main line to be laid down by the Company will be considerably less than 100 miles, throughout which the strongest encouragement and support have been manifested towards this railway by the landed proprietors, many of whom have determined to Invest capital In the undertaking; and the engineer's report precludes any apprehen sion of engineering difficulties : the publication, however, of the ex. actness of the route is necessarily delayed for a few days, in con sequence of some important negotiations now pending with ano ther Company. The great public utility and commercial advan tages of railway communication► between the important places and ports which it is now contemplated to unite must be at once ap preciated by reference to a map of the country, The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest, at four per cent. per annum, on the amount of deposit and calls from the passing of the Act until the completion of the line, and the liabity of the shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscrip!ion Applications for shares (which must be necessarily restricted In consequence of the immense number that have already beets applied for under guarantee of persons of the highest respectability) with prospectuses and plans, to bo made to the secretary, at the offices of the Company; to J D.
