B,IIIII6 Stanway, Esq. 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 Rail way, and . from thence through the coal fields of Swannington and Cole-Orton to Ashby-de-la-'touch. It will thence proceed across the Moira Coal Field and through the rich agricultural districts of Seal, Clifton Campville, and Ediugale to the Birmingham and Derby Railway, which it will cross ' , tear to Elford Park Farm, and thence traverse the valley of the Tame until it reaches Alrewas, where it will form a junction with the branch of the Trent Valley Inc, 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. lay means of its junction with the Trent Valley line at Alrewas the Grand Trunk reaches Coiwich, and there meets the proposed North Staffordshire line, which proceeds through the heart of the Potteries to Newcastle -under-Line, Leek, and 31acclesfield. )3y means also t,f the same Trent Valley line at Alrewas the Grand Trunk pro ceeds through Rugeley to Stafford, thus completing its route, awl , forming a connecting line between the Midland and Gr an d Junction Railways. This branch of the line was formerly surveyed by Mr. Rastrick, and approved of by him as a canal communication, so that no engineering difficulties Mist. The second line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the Derby station, and taking the course of the Derby Canal proceed 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 Cline, and proceed to Kings Newton and Melbourne. From the latter place it Will pass by the village of Wilson to Breedon-on-the-Hill, Where there are extensive lime-works, and thence proceed by Staunton Harold, communicat 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-Orton and Swannington Railway until its junction with the first line of the Grand Trunk at or near the Pegs green Colliery, and so proceed froni thellee to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. At Ashby-de-la-Zouch the Geallel-Trunk forms a junction with the proposed Nottingham and Birmingham, and with the proposed Great Manchester, Rugby, and Southampton Railways. Its importance as a line for passengers is too obvious for comment, fbrming 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 earth the most direct transit to the Leicestershire, Staffordshil% 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, It will also be the nearest and most direct communication (Yom the east to the north western manufacturing districts, as well as become the great route from all parts of the kingdom to the midland counties of England, The mineral reeotirces are of the very highest order, The Moira coal field is itiexhaustible, whilst the coal bedt% dt litatmton Harold alone coMprise the finest quality of Kennel to a depth of Soren feet, with a super stratum of main coal to a depth of six feet. The gib stratum is yet to be worked. There are becla of Retitle . ' and main coal at Cole Orton of equal quality, though net of equal depth with those of Staunton Harold, whilst the main coal at Swannington 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 coal district to the Lon don and southern markets. At Staunton Harold and Calte exist fidit *dna of lead ore, now in full course of working, The properties of tile Bitedon, Staunton Harold ) and TiCknall lime are so well known to agriculturists and others) that an extension of traffic for so valuable a commodity into More remote districts must be of the utmost importance to the practical farmer. In approaching the Titht, on leaving the lime district, the Grand Trunk will fall in With most valuable quarries of millstone grit, ser viceable fot Nving and building purposes, and for 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 t these markets will thus become opened for the V..arites at Chellasten. A new and extensive outlet will also be opened for the earthenware of WbOden 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 is 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, _ Poi Will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime the Committee of Management take power, to alter or extend the lines, to make branch lines, to abandon any part of the line, to raise addi tional capital, and to enter into arrangements with any other Com pany or Companies.

Tanner and Pinckney, Hungerford and Caine The Wilts and Dorset Ranking Company, Marlborough - The North Wilts Banking Company, Chippenham South Wales, abounding is natural harbours and mineral pro ductions, and celebrated for the magnitude and excellence of its manufactures, is justly esteemed, both in a naval and commercial point of view, as one of the most important districts of Great Britain. Its connexion with London has become of such paramount Im portance as to demand the most direct and perfect communication that can possibly be established. Tide is the main object of the pro posed undertaking. This Railway will proceed from London to Hungerford by the Great Western Railway, there leaving that railway and running almost in a straight line by Marlborough, Caine, and Chippenham, where it will again join the Great Western Railway thus giving to the towns of Marlborough and Caine (which at present have no railway) a direct communication with London ; and also with Bath, Brietol....the South Western Counties of England and South Wales. From chipesubam the line will pass near Chipping Sodbury, and proceed to the Mristol and Gloucester Railway at Westerleigh (about eight miles from Bristol), and by a junction with that rail way the direct line from London to Bristol will be completed. From Westerleigh the line will be continued to the river Severn at Aust, and be carried across that river by means of the fixed bridge of the Bristol and Liverpool Junction Railway. On the Monmouth shire side of the river it will proceed for another half mile over the river Wye, direct to, and terminate at, the South - Wales Railway, near to Hunger Pill. This last half mile will of itself effect a saving in distance between London and South Wales of about four miles. By taking advantage, as far at possible, of existing railways, this project will complete at once the most direct and best trunk-line from. London to Bath, Bristol, and the South-Western Counties of England ; but more especially to Chepstow, Newport, Cardiff, Swan sea, Milford Haven, the whole of South Wales, and Ireland. The fOliowhig are the savings in distance effected by the proposed line Between London and Bath, via Hungerford, the pro posed line as - far as Chippenham, and the Great Western Railway .. • • ........... ....... about 7 miles. Between London and Bristol, via Hungerford, the proposed line as far as Westerleigh, and the Bristol . and Gloucester Railway. •• • • ................... about 8 miles.

Between London and the whole of South Wales, via the Great Weatern, and the Bristol and Liverpool Junction Railways • ... • ....................... about 23 miles. These great savings in distance are by no means the principal featured of the undertaking. By this direct communication between London and Bristol the Box tunnel will be entirely avoided, an im portant fact which will no doubt have a most powerful effect with AideoVer passengers to and from South Wales will be eihibled to travel at all times'by means of the fixed bridge over. the Severn at the Aust or Old Passage; thus avoiding on the one hand the well known dangers inconveniences , delays, and difficulties of the open ferry tit two Miles and a half; at the New Passage, proposed by t he Bristol and South Wales junction hallway Company I and, on the other hand, the tunnel of about a mile under the Severn, proposed by the Fouth Wales RallWay Company, which (even if capable of con struction) unisteVer leave the public apprehensiVe of accident. Reference to a- Map will clearly demonstrate that the great Stream -of passengers and traffic between London, Bristol; the South - Wester n Counties and Ireland will flow through the proposed line and South Wales to Milford Haven and,Fishguard Harbour. The establishment of Valentin, as the chief out-port to the dariadas and the United States', Will moreover create a traffic, via South Wales, never hitherto contemplated. But supposing Valentia should not become that out port, there tan be no doubt that Milford llrtsien, from its extreme western position.and natural advantages, that. • Independently of the passenger traffic above referred to, the faci lities which the line will afford to the unequalled iron works of South Wales, and the extensive copper and tin works of Swansea and Neath Mist induce the Manufacturer to transmit his goods with" safety, economy, and rapidity by rail, rather than with hazard and delay by sea. A new and most important market will be opened to the dwners of collieries in South Wales. Newport will be brought Within 129 miles of London; and it may be confidently itadefted Mgt the Ibitro•• polls will draw an immense supply of coal from that neighbourhood, inasmuch as coal of most excellent quality can be delivered in Lon don from the Welsh collieries at about 153. per ton. The principal advantages of direct railway communication between important termini are now too Universally adriiitted both by Nitta- Ment and the public to need.argument. Many importarit difebt lints have been already favourably received; but when the savings in distance —the avoidance of a ferry and tunnels—the new channels for traffic— the giving of railway accommodation to a large district—and the establishment of the most direct and complete communication be tween London and Bath, Bristol, and South Wales are recollected— and especially that these important benefits can be obtained by the formation of a line fifty-two miles only in length—it is confidently as_ serted that the proposed railway holds out advantages superior to any hitherto projected, and will at the same time prove,. if not the most, one of the most profitable Investments ever offered to the public.

The object of this line of Railway is to complete the chain of coast communication, and form a connexion with lines already established or projected with reasonable hopes of success, It will commence at or near the city of Limerick, and taking a nor therly direction, proceed through the counties ofClare, Galway, Mayo, and Sligo, terminating at Sligo, by a junction with the Sligo and F r lglis killen Railway, and accommodating on itstonte the important cities and towns of Limerick, Ennis, Gort, Loughrea, Athenry, Monivea, Tuam, Ballinrobe, Castlebar, Westport, Foxford, Baffin*, nails, Swineford, Streansatown, and Sligo, which town being connected with the north, east, and south; by the different lines through Enniskillen, London derry, Coleraine, Belfast, Armagh, Newry, Dundalk, Drogheda, Dublin, Wicklow, Wexford, Watertbrd, Cork, Killarney, Valentia, Tralee, and Limerick, the establishment of this line will cause Ire land to present a completeness of locomotive communication which no other country in the world enjoys. The country through which the proposed line travels is most fertile in mineral and agricultural products ; it embraces many extensive coal fields, whose advantages it will extend to all parts of Connaught and Ulster; and intersecting, as it does, so many metropolitan lines of railway, it will develope those advantages in an equal degree to the province of Leinsters_ The lead, iron. marble, ana slate woras on its route, will De rendered available to the most distant parts of the island, and perhaps not the least advantage, in a national point of view, will be the establishment of an intercourse between the population of the extreme north and that of the extreme south, as well as placing the trade of, and communication with, Scotland, within the easy reach of all towns of any . importance ill Ireland. Added to this the cer tainty that on the eorapletleil Of the projected southern, eastern, and western lines, the noble natural harbours on the Atlantic shore of Ireland will become the British depots of American traffic, and most probably the established packet stations for postal communication between the two countries, it is impossible to over-rate the value of this truly national projection. The counties which this railway traverses abundantly supply the English markets with cattle, pigs, &c. This line, communicating with so many ports, will afford the greatest facilities for the shipping of this portion of trade, some idea of the extent of which may be formed ftom the fact of upwards of five hundred fairs being held annually in its immediate vicinity, *Meng them, the fair of Ballinasloe, ac knowledged the greatest ihr sheep and cattle in the British islands. It has been ascertained that the country presents great engineering acilities for the construction of a railway, and in communications which have been received from the landowners along the line, the greatest anxiety is manifested for its completion. The Subscribers will be held liable only to the extent of their first deposits until an Act of Parliament is obtained, and afterwards only to the amount of their subscriptions. Power will be applied for in the Act—and in the meantime is hereby given to the Committee—to alter the capital, if necessary; to vary or abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, or enter into arrangements with any other company or companies ; and also to nominate the first directors of the company. The Parliamentary contract and subscribers' agreement will be ready for signature on payment of the deposits. It will be seen from the plan that the railway intersects many main lines, and will thus contribute to, and receive from them a con siderable amount in passenger and merchandise traffic. From the estimates that have been made, a return of at least 10 per cent. must be realised on the capital.

(From the Berkshire Chronicle of Sept. 6.) The competition which has arisen between the rival lines to pass through this county southward and east ward, is really amusing. All those we enumerated in our two last publications are still eager for support, and almost clamorous in the advocacy of their superior ad vantages. The "Tring, Reading, and Basingstoke" Com pany issued their prospectus yesterday. It states that by the proposed line the route from Manchester to Southampton will be many miles shorter, and sooner brought into operation than either that of the Manches ter and Southampton, or the Oxford, Southampton, &c., Junction. A " Reading and Reigate Junction" project is also more fully announced, but we hear that there are at least two other schemes with a similar object in the field, with some slight deviations in detail. Looking at the map, the proposed line must save a great detour to travellers to the south-eastern coast and the Continent, but its disadvantage is that there are few towns of importance between the two to mini. At the same time, the " through" traffic would doubtless be considerable. The " South and Mid lands Junction" is a new scheme, barely a week old, but it aims at greater results. The route is to be from Bicester, by way of Witney, Lechlade, and " keeping within easy distances of Farringdon, Cricklade, and Highworth, ' it falls into the Great Western line at Swindon. The capital is to be 1,280,0001. The " Bristol and Dover Direct" is another new project. It offers to commence at Devizes, pass through Ludger shall; Andover, Whitchurch, Basingstoke, Odiham, and Farnham, to Godalming, where other projects would continue it to Reigate. There is no end of plans to convey passengers to the south. The very lest we have seen is one to be called the " Cheltenham, Brighton, Folkestone, and Dover ;" the only particulars yet stated are that it is to go " from Cheltenham as direct as possible to Brighton, with a branch from \ about Basingstoke to Reigate." This Would intersect Berkshire from Farringdon to Newbury. The Itennet and Avon Conversion Railway is an nounced, and it excites much interest, both from the no velty of the plan MA the large stake held in the old pforrif by capitalists in this and the neighbouring counties. The public cif Newbury, after being treated with utter neglect for some time past by the Great and South- Western Companies, are now solicited, flattered, and canvassed, by a whole swarm of projectors. We believe that most exaggerated expectations of local benefit arc raised, to end in certain disappointment. That a large number of persons would travel southward through Newbury by an Oxford and Southampton line cannot be doubted, but how few of them would stop may easily be guessed. Nor will we deny the local convenience rail ways will afford to the inhabitants, and that, after ell, is the chief reason they are desirable. Reading, with all its long-standing advantages of railway communication, has not been so enormously benefited as was predicted aNI expected, and Newbury has no right to expect more than ReSding, if so much. There d iw, forty or fifty tfiontand passengers by the Greif t greAtern weekly by and fi'oin the town, ‘ but what is the/atuount of advantage to the inhabitants 7 In the meantiniej while these projects are advancing, the lines already formed will receive a great seas:ion of traffic. They will always command the best of tab; carrying trade, and will. by their Parliamentary influ ence, crush many of the competing schemes. The immmense crowd of epplicatjons for new Acts will be thrown out with little ceremony. The task of legislating for all is an impossible one, and we shall therefore see a wholesale rejection of the great ma jority. Too much was done last session, and the strongest feeling exists, that there shall be some check to the hasty and clamorous demands for new lin4s. Those will have the preference where there is ti`l9 least competition, and obvious utility, and new companies: must wait with patience their turn, which will be two or three years hence at least. Some will have found their level before that time, and those which have strength and vitality will reap an advantage by the delay. The speculators in scrip ought to be wary in deed, especially as persons buying fur investment rwtihle in these times of artificial prices , naturally p great trunk lines, as much mor e secure, andbeirigecorn purativelS neglected by m ere speculators, much fur r cheaper, and certain to derive much increasing profits solrie years to ( ome. Since writing the above we have received the pro spectus of the Reading and 11«.igate Railway. It will ho seen that the scheme possesses the great advantage of a very powerful di re ctory, embracing gentl emen o f l ocal infitlince and station. This will give it a decided )re ference over other projects which have noptltahnis,hesenitial N . ve ould be recommendation, and unless any other ,uggested with superior local support—whi' cannot anticipate—Nye have no' douht this ra ilway c' will easily obtain legislative sanction. Nor will lt U:la with that opposition from the Great Western and South-Western Companies which other plans —more or less conflicting with their interess—w'll excite. We have no doubt that this line will be very popular here.
