The first line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the Loughborough station on the Midland Counties line, and pro ceed through the Vale of Sheepshead. to Pegs Green Colliery, near to the terminus of the Leicester and Swannington was, and from thence through the coal-fields of Swannington and Cole-Orton to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. It will thence proceed acr oss the Moira Coal-field and through the rich agricultural districts of Seal, Clifton Campville, and Edingale, to the Birmingham and Derby Railway, which it will cross near to Elford Park Farm, and themes traverse the Valley of the Tame until it reaches Alrewas, where it will form a junction with the branch of the Trent Valley line now in progress of making. At this point it also meets the proposed South Staffordshire line, by which means it reaches Lichfield, and by means of one of the proposed lines it will afford communication with Bir mingham. By means of its junction with the Trent Valley line at Alrewae the Grand Trunk reaches Colwich, and there meets the proposed. North Staffordshire line, which proceeds through the heart of the Potteries to Newcastle-under-Line, Leek, and Macclesfield. By means also of the same Trent Valley line at Alrewas the Grand Trunk pro-. ceeds through Rugeley to Stafford, thus completing its route, ant forming a connecting line between the Midland and Grand Junction Railways. This braneh of the line was formerly surveyed by Mr. Rastrick, and approved of by him as a canal communication, so that no engineering difficulties exist. The second line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the Derby station, and taking the course of the Derby Canal premed to Chellaston, where there are extensive plaster-works, and thence by Swarkestone to the river Trent, which it will cross near to the ferry at Weston Cliffe, and so proceed to Kings Newton and Melbourne. From the latter place it will pus by the village of Wilson to Breedon-on-the-Hill, where there are extensive lime-works, and thence proceed by Staunton Harold, commwricat- ing by a branch line with the lead, lime, and coal works there ; thence by the Lount Colliery to Worthington Rough, where it will follow the line of the Cole-Orion and Swannington tailway until its junction with the first line of the Grand Trunk at or near the Pegs green Colliery, and so proceed from thence to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. At Ashby-de-la-Zouch the Grand Trunk forms a junction with the proposed Nottingham and Birmingham, and with the proposed Groat Manchester, Rugby, and Southampton Railways. Its importance as a line for passengers is too obvious for continent, forming as it does a complete junction between those two great thoroughfares, the Mid land and Grand Junction Railways, and by its branch from Derby to Ashby-de-la-Zouch another complete junction between the Great Northern and Southern lines now in progress, thus opening a direct line of communication to all parts of the kingdom. As a line for traffic, the Grand Trunk will form the most direct transit to the Leicestershire, Staffordshire, and Shropshire iron and coal fields, to the Burton breweries, to North and South Wales, and Ireland to Scotland, and all parts of the north, and to the eastern. southern, and western parts of the empire. The mineral resources are of the very highest order. The Moire coal-field is inexhaustible, whilst the coal-beds at Staunton Harold alone comprise the finest quality of Kennel to a depth of seven foot. with a super stratum of main coal to a depth of six feet. The sub stratum is yet to be worked. There are beds of Kennel and main coal at Cole Orton of equal quality, though net of equal depth with those of Staunton Harold, whilst the main coal at Swanningtou is un rivalled, being, in fact, the bowl of the Leicestershire and Derbyshire coal strata. It is needless to describe the beneficial results which must arise from this opening of the midland coat district to the Lou. don and southern markets. At Staunton Harold and Calke exist rich veins of lead ore, now la Rill course of working. The properties of the Breedon, Staunton Harold, and Ticknall are so weil known to agriculturists and others, that an extension of traffic for so valuable a commodity into mare remote districts MIA be of the utmost importance to the practical farmer. In approaching the Trent, on leaving the lime district, the Grand Trunk will fall in with most valuable quarries of millstone grit, ser viceable for paving and building purposes, and fer which a ready market would be found along the line. The country also abounds in gypsum, of which immense quantities are used in Birming ham and elsewhere : these markets will thus become opened for the quarries at Chellaston. A new and extensive outlet will also be opened for the earthenware of Wooden Box and Griesley Potteries. Until the Act of Parliament be obtained, the affairs will be under the control of the Committee of Management, to whom power Ss given to allot the shares and apply the funds of the Company In payment of all proper expenses in the formation of the Company and otherwise. l'ower will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime n t ti .. m un etb e z Committee of Management take po wer, to alter or extend the to make branch lines, to aband on an y part oft the . to r * e, othCr COM tional capital, and to enter into err:wpm:lienti with any pany or Cwupanies.

The object proposed by this railway is, as well to supply the wants of the district through which it passes, as to complete the chain of railway communication between the eastern and midland counties and the western district, including the whole of North and South Wales. The country embraced by this line is of the richest description, and thickly populated. By means of this, and the existing and projected lines of railway, the whole of the ports in the eastern and north-eastern counties, in cluding the manufacturing city of Norwich, and towns of Leicester, Nottingham, Sheffield, Leeds, and the whole of Yorkshire will be brought in direct communication with the mineral districts of North and South Wales, the salt district of Droitwich, and the river Severn. The promoters of this line submit to the public, as a most import ant consideration, the abating of those causes of loss and inconveni ence which, along the line of country over which this railway will pass, are experienced from water carriage being from necessity at present a principal mode of transit for heavy goods and merchandise, and which,i n the winter season, is productive of the most evil con sequences to those engaged in commerce. A manifest advantage to the Shareholders will be the extent of traffic which will be secured and appropriated by the present undertaking, in lieu of that which hitherto has been engrossed by the more dilatory course of water carriage. As a public advantage to the inhabitants generally of the above-mentioned districts, the promoters submit that the equa lisation in prices of the produce and merchandise which the opening of this line of railway is calculated to produce is of the high est importance, and one of the principal benefits which this and other similar undertakings are alone capable of producing. The proposed line will commence at Rugby, the terminus of the Midland Counties and Trent Valley Railways, and also of the pro posed Rugby end Huntingdon Junction Railway, and proceed from thence near to the towns of Leamington, Warwick, and Alcester, and end at the City of Worcester. At Worcester this line will form a junction with the several Welsh railways, the Shrewsbury, Wor cester, and Crewe Railway, and the Oxford, Worcester, and Wol verhampton Railway. At Warwick it will unite with the Birmingham and Oxford Junc tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway. And at Rugby with the London and Birmingham, the Midland Counties, and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railway. To the inhabitants of Rugby as well as to those of the Midland, Eastern, and Northern Counties this line will afford a direct com munication with the fashionable towns of Leamington and Chelten ham, as well as the whole of the Western Counties. To the inhabitants of Leamington and Warwick it will give a direct communication with the City of Worcester and North and South Wales, now so much needed. And to the inhabitants of Worcester, in addition to providing the nearest route to London via Warwick, it wjll be an outlet to the Eastern Counties and ports, and afford great facilities for the increase of the manufactories now carried on in that city. The whole of the country has during the present month, August, 1845, been most carefully surveyed by the engineers, and they report it to be free from engineering difficulty, and well adapted for a rail way , and the provisional Directors entertain no in doubt that the line will be made under the average rate of expenseincident to s i m ilar undertakings, and, from the statisti cs in their possession, that the traffic will afford an ample return for the capital invested. d the The line will not interfere with a n y ornamental property, an landowners are favourable to the undertaking. The Shareholders in the several Railways proposed to be joined or intersected will have a preference in the allotment of shares in this undertaking. No person will be liable for more than his d e posit till the Act is s obtained, and power will be applied fer to allow interest 4/. pe cent= on all calls, from the time of t heir res p ective payments, and to limit the liability of the Shareholders to the amount of their sub rcriptions, The Directors reserve power to themselves to amalgamate with any existing or projected line of railway ; to vary the route ; to make all desirable extensions ; and to inetcase the capital as may be advisable or necessary. prospectuses, with a Plan, will be published in a few days, and may then be obtained on application to the several solicitors, and to any of the following share brokers, viz., Messrs. Peppercorns and Co., 2, Old Brnait-stre,et ; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39, Loth bury, Loudon ; Messrs. Payne end Freer, Leicester ; Messrs. Alston and Gage, Liverpool; Messrs.

In consequence of modifications of this line, rendered necessary by the decisions of Parliament in the late Session, and of the increase of the Parliamentary deposit required by the New Standing Orders, the Provisional Committee find it necessary to call in the scrip hitherto issued, for the purpose of replacing it by new scrip, to requ're an ad ditional deposit of 12s. per share, and to cause new deeds to be pre pared for the signature of the Proprietors. Parties to whom scrip has been issued are accordingly requested to send in their scrip, on or before the first day of October next, to the Secretary. New letters of allotment win at once be issued to such of the present holders of the scrip so sent in, as were original subscribers for their shares ; but where the scrip has changed hands, satisfactory re ferences as to the responsibility of the holders, will be required by the Directors, before new letters of allotment can be Issued; on the ad ditional deposit being paid (in accordance with the new letters of al. lotment), and the new deeds being executed, the new scrip will be issued. On and after the 10th of October next the present scrip (unless it shall have been sent in to the Secretary, and received by him pre viously to that day) will be considered as cancelled, and the Shares it represents will be re-allotted. Parties sending scrip are requested to write their names across each scrip certificate for the sake of security, and to send by a post letter at the same time that they send their scrip, a list of the numbers of the scrip they have dispatched, with their own name, residence, and (if necessary) that of their references, attached in full to the end of such list.

This Railway is projected for the plirpose of uniting the Rhondda and Ely Val Lies, with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles dis tance from the Port of Cardiff; and to open a new mineral district, one of the richest and most important in South Wales, which is at present without the means of transit for its immense and 'valuable products. It will pass through the central portion of the great coal-field of Glamorganshire, the 'geological formation of which is decidedly proved to afford most excellent coal and iron-stone in greater abun dance than any other in the kingdom, with facilities of mining ac cess seldom equalled, and the quality of the coal is admirably adapted for steam purposes and the manufacture of iron. 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 nearer and cheaper than by any other line. It is intended that the line shall commence at Blacn Rhondda, the head of the Rhondda Talley, and proceed down to a natural pass between the hills at Ffrwd Amws, a distance of eight miles, where it will enter the Ely Valley and proceed down (a further distance of six miles) to Lanelay-bridge, near Lantrissent, and there join the South Wales Railway, thus opening a communication under the most advantageous circumstances as to distance, with all the ports in the British channel. _ _ _ ...... No engineering difficulties present themselves in the formation of this line ; and it is confidently anticipated that the works will be and the ;names of many influential proprietors will be found on the Provisional Committee. No Subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of his de posit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. In the allottment of Shares, a preference will be given to landowners on the line and other parties locally interested.

(Registered Provisionally.) Capital, 1,000,0000, Shares of 201. each. Depo l., in s sit 21. 28 00 . p 0 e r Share. In compliance with the Standing Order of the House of Lords. The objects of this undertaking are—first, to establish one con 'inuous, and a more direct and shorter line of railway communica 'ion between Liverpool, Manchester, Huddersfield, Barnsley, Goole, treat Grimsby. and Hull, than at present exists, or is proposed by any other scheme now before the public ; secondly, to give the be nein of railways to several populous and important intermediate places now unprovided therewith ; thirdly, to afford increased fa cilities to transit to the whole intervening district ; and fourthly, to apen a communication from Huddersfield, southward, with the me tropolis. The Legislature having, during the recent session, sanctioned the naking of a railway from Manchester to Huddersfield, by the Sad- Ileworth and Marsden Valleys, a communication is thereby secured etwixt the port of Liverpool and Huddersfield ; a similar communi mtion is now called for with the Eastern Coast, and in order to ac 3emplish the same, it is therefore proposed to make a line, corn nencing at, or near, the station in Huddersfield, of the Huddersfield and Manchester Railway, passing through the Kirkheaton and Kirk burton Valleys, by way of, or near Barnsley, to or near the Cud worth station of the North Midland Railway, there forming a junc tion with that railway (by which a communication with the metro polis will be obtained), and thence proceeding to Goole, Great Grimsby, and Hull, by the nearest practicable routes. In order to effect the required objects, at as little expense, and lessen the dis tance as much as possible, liberty is reserved to form junctions with any other existing or projected railways. On reference to a map, it will be seen that the construction of the proposed line, with the existing and projected railways, will attain not on'y the several objects before stated, but also that it will pass through, or near, several of the most extensive and celebrated coal-fields, beds of stone, and limestone, and other mineral districts, in the West Riding of Yorkshire. It is impossible, in the limits of a prospectus, to enumerate or estimate the benefits to be derived from this undertaking ; making Huddersfield the centre of communication between the two seas, uniting it by means of the Huddersfield and Manchester Railway to Liverpool on the west ; and by the proposed line, to the three ports of Goole, Great Grimsby, and Hull, on the east; and the line passing through a densely-populated commercial and manufacturing part of the kingdom, as well as a highly •cultivated agricultural district, will afford a ready transport to the natural productions of each locality ; added to which, it is well known that considerable portions of such manufacturing districts have hitherto been very inadequately sup plied with coal, and also that there is a daily increasing demand by the outports of that article for exportation ; whilst on the other hand the superabundant produce of the rich agricultural districts of York shire and Lincolnshire, bordering upon the line, are in equal demand for the manufacturing population. The immense traffic, both through and local, which must pass upon the line, will afford ample remuneration to the capitalist. A great l art of the line will pass through a country favourable for the construction of a railway, and the remainder presents no difficul ties of a serious character. In the construction of the line, every en deavour will be made to cause the least possible infringement on the rights or claims of existing railways, or injury to private property. A portion of the shares will be reserved, at the discretion of the Committee, for such railway companies at this line may form junc tions, or be connected with. The liability of each Shareholder will be restricted by Act of Par liament to the amount of ,his subscription ; and power will be taken by the Act to; allow interest, at the rate of 41. per centum per an num upon the paid-up capital, from the date of each payment until the completion of the railway. l 'Applications:for shares may be addressed, in the annexed form, to either of the undermentioned sharebrokers, viz. :—Messrs.

This railway will connect the important and hitherto neglected town of Barnet with the London and Birmingham and the Great Western Railways, at or near Holsdon-green ; with the Northern and Eastern and the Eastern Counties Railway, at or near Totten ham ; and the proposed Direct London and Manchester, and the Lon don and York Railways. The line, in its course, will unite the town of Barnet with 'Whet stone, Totteridge, Highwood Hill, Mill Hill, Finchley, Holder's Hill, Hendon, Burrows, Golder's Hill, Gutterhedge, Kingsbury, Neesdon, Wilsdon, Wilsdon Green, llolsdon Green, Kensall Green, Westbourne Green, Maida Hill, Kilburn, Hampstead, West End, Highgate, Crouch End, Hornsey, Muswell Hill, West Green, Tottenham, Edmonton, Chiffon], Stamford Hill, Stoke Newington, Newington Green, Clap ton, Highbury, Holloway, Kingsland, Layton, Stratford, West H am, Bow, Bromley, Bethnal Green, Limehouse, Hoxton, Homerton, Hackney, Shacklewell, Dalston, Islington, St. Pancras, Shoreditch, Blackwell, Euston-square, Paddington, Kensington, Hammersmith.

The distance from f he town of Barnet to the station of the London and Birmingham Railway, at Euston-square, by this route, will be 15 miles. The length of the main line, from the point of junction at Tetten ham to the London and Birmingham Railway, will be 11 miles ; and the length of the branch line to Barnet, will be 414 miles. From the junction with the Birmingham Railway to Chipping Barnet, 93¢ miles ; from the Decoy (near Brent-street, Hendon), on the proposed Barnet and North Metropolitan Junction Railway, to the Northern and Eastern Counties Railway, by Stamford-hill, 6% miles. There are no engineering difficulties throughout the entire distance. The line will proceed beyond the range of the Highgate and Hamp stead Hills, and the branch from the main line to Barnet will follow the valley of the river Brent to the intended station at Barnet ; thus the expense of construction will be less than any other metropolitan line of railway, for the above reason, and because it will pass through an agricultural district, avoiding all ornamental property and large collections of houses and buildings. Upon the completion of this railway, a large and daily-increasing population, resident beyond the limits of the metropolitan omnibuses, will be largely benefited, and land and agricultural produce, hitherto affording an inadequate return to their cultivators, will be quad rupled in value. The ancient, populous, and once-flourishing town of Barnet, too, will now have a railway communication of its own, without depend ing upon the caprice or uncertain goodnature of any company who the trunk lines now contenlplaseu.

After most mature deliberation, they have resolved to recommend to their shareholders and the public the imme diate carrying out of a railway to effect this object, which will be most desirable, as a completion to their own line, and highly advantage ous 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 amal gatlon of both lines under one management. Besides forming a direct com munication with the gteat manfactur ing towns in the north, the Salisbury and Swindon Extension will make a complete line of railway between Southampton, Salisbury, and all parts of North and South Wales. In the allotment of s h a res, preference will be given to th e h o ld ers of the Wilts, Somerset, and S o uthampton Junction Railway shares, and parties locally interested, with due regard to public interest, and every original shareholder in that line inay, on production of his Scrip Certificate, receive an allotment of a similar number of Salis bury and Swindon Extension shares.
