SECRETARY, pro tern—John Devereux Pugh, Esq. This line is intended to be made from Wrexham, through Holt and Nantwich to Crewe. Its length will be about 23 miles, and it will be a direct communication between the most populous district of North Wales, and one of the most valuable mineral 'lelds in the kingdom ; and Crewe and the manufac' urine districts of Cheshire, Lancashire, Stafford shire, and Yorkshire, being a nearer route than any now emitting or contemplated, by upwards of 12 miles. It is satisfac torily proved by the evidence of persons best qualified to give a correct opinion on the subject, that the district of Wrexham (even exclusive of what may be called the Ruabon district) possesses in exhaustible supplies of coal, ironstone, lime, and lead, of the best Quality; the extent of the coal-field is about eight miles long by two broad, and the limestone is of much greater extent ; the ver tical section of coal presents 14 successive strata of coal, of which 10 ere workable; these strata give 40 feet 6 inches of solid coal, aarpporing there to be 15 cwt. of coal to the cubic yard, and deduct one-tenth for old workings, and one.third for waste, faults, Sec , there remains 18,817,920 tons of coal in a square mile.—(See Evidence given before Parliament on the North Wales Mineral Railway Bill.) e value of the ironstone in the whole area of 16 miles is esti mated at 35,400.9941. The importance of connecting this wealthy ta:strict with the towns betare named is too obvious to require a vecnnent's comment. By means of the cheap and expeditious transit provided by this line, the ccke manufactured in the neighbeurhcod of Wrexham (which is proved to be superior to any other, see evi dence before mentioned) will be conveyed to Crewe, for the supply .of the numerous railways centering at that place, at one.third the preeent price; the revenue ICbe derived from this source must be invren3e. The who'e district through which this line will pass is now supplied with coal, coke, lime, and slates from the mines and quarries in the neighbourhood of Wrexham at a very high price, in consequence of the carriage being so expensive. The average prices (per ton) of cell, coke, and lime, at Nantwlch and Crewe, exclusive of carriage, are as follows : .At Nantwich, Coal ........ 9s. 2d. Coke Lime ... l6 0 At Crewe, Coal tt Coke Pt Lime This railway will afford the means of supplying coal, lime, and coke at one.-third the above price,. Among the multifarious railway schemes now before the public, the most legitima!4 and also the most likely to yield a fair remu nerative return no the outlay, are the traverse railways projected with the object of suppl:ing the existing want of railway transit across the country. The line will not interfere with any parks or property of an or namental character, and will be cxistrocted at much less than the average cost. The Provisional Directors have no reason to expect any effectual opposition to a measure so obviously beneficial both to the public and the landed proprietors, and so powerfully supported by those best qualified to form au opinion of its merits. With respect to engineering, the line presents no difficulty whatever, the gradients are very easy, and the earth.work light. The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest, at 4/. per cent. per annum, on the deposits as well as upon all future calls from the date of the passing of the Ac: until the opening of the railway, and no shareholder will be liablo beyond the amount of his sdbicriptlon. In the allotment of shares preference will be given, to a certain ,extent, to the proprietors of land through wide!) the line will pass. and to shareholders in the Manchester and. Birmingham, the Man. chester and Birmingham Continuation, the North %Vales Mineral, and the Staffordshire Potteries, Liverpool and. Manchester Direct _Railways.

The main line of this railway will be about fifteen miles in length. Commencing at the Wortley Station, on the Sheffield and Manchester Railway, it will pass through the town of Silkstors, and near to Dodworth, accommodating the whole of that ♦aluable mining district with the most ready outlet for its celebrated coal to all parts of the kingdom. It proceeds by Darton, Chapelthorpe, and Sandal, to Wakefield, where it will join the Leeds and Man. cheater, and the newly projected railways to Leeds and Harrogate, and to Pontefract and Goole. The inhabitants of Barnsley will also be accommodated by a branch to that town, from the main line, giving them direct and easy communication with the north and south. The distance from Leeds to Sneffield by this line, and Its con. flexions northwards, will be only thirty.two miles; by the present route it is thirty-eight miles. The distance from Wakefield to Sheffield by this line will be only twenty-three miles ; it is now, by way of Normanton, thirty.one miles ; and by way of Oakenshaw, twenty-eight miles, between two and three of which are by om►ii bus. Besides this saving of actual distance, the tedious stoppages at Masborough and Normanton, the delays of which are often equal to twenty miles of travelling, will be avoided, A careful survey has been made, by an experienced surveyor, who reports that the line from Wakefield to Silkston will run with easy gradients nearly on the surface of the ground for the greater part of the way; and that the only work of any mag nitude will be a tunnel, about six hundred yards long, at Woolley. common, which will occasion in the approach to it from Wake field an ascending gradient of 1 in 108. The works between Silkston and Wortley are of a heavier character, but in no part will the gradient be more than 1 in 112. The ruling gradient will be about 1 in 180. This undertaking, in connexion with other railways, is in tended to accomplish the following very important objects :—First, a direct line of communication between London and Leeds, the Northern Counties and Scotland. Secondly, the opening of the extensive and valuable coalfields of Silkston, Dodworth, Barns ley, and the adjacent districts, to the manufacturing and other towns of Yorkshire, the ports of Hell, Selby, Goole, Great Grimsby, and Boston, and also to the Metropolis, and the Mid land, and Western counties. Thirdly, the accommodation of the inhabitants of the places through which this railway will pass, with those facilities of conveyance for passengers, of which, from the almost entire absence of good roads, as well as railways, they have hitherto been destitute. An examination of the Map will show how well these objects will be attained by means of this railway. At its northern termi nus, Wakefield, it will be connected with the Leeds and Manches ter Railway, continued to the Midland and the lines extending from it to the north and east, with the projected Wakefield and Harrogate and Wakefield and Leeds lines (the latter a branch of the Leeds and Dewsbury from Churwell), and through it with the Leeds and Thirsk, the Leeds and Bradford, and other railways, to the north-west and Scotland. And at Wortley, its southern •erminus, it w,llbe connected with the Sheffield and Manchester Railway, the projected Manchester, Midland, and Great Grimsby, and the Sheffield and Lincolnshire lines, the Sheffield and Great Grimsby Railway, the projected Sheffield and Chesterfield Railway, and the various new projects from Sheffield to the northern parts of Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and the west. The quantity of coal which this railway will make directly accessible to all parts of the kingdom may be estimated from the following statements given in evidence before a Committees of the House of Commons :—The township of Barnsley contains 2,010 acres of coal bed, Barughs 5,080 acres, Dodworth, 6,219 acres, Silkston, 4,040 acres. The quantity of coal in the Silkston main alone is thirty.seven millions three hundred and fourteen thou sand tons, and the quantity likely to be raised from the entire dis trict through which the railway will pass, is not lees than seventy eight millions pf tons. . . Pits raay be sunk close by the railway, and will require only An engine to lift the coals perpendicularly, and pout them into the ts ucks. In addition to this an opportunity will be afforded of turning 'o better account a bed of ironstone underlying a space of 5,080 acres. The construction of this railway would so cheapen the trAnsit f coal to York, Hull, and all intermediate towns to the north Ind east, and westward to Glossop, Ashton, MAnchester, Stock. port, and other towns in Cheshire, that the owners of this •alu. mineral would be able successfully to compete with those of Durham and Lancashire. The inexhaustible mineral traffic which will thus be developed —the means which this railway will afford of improved transit be. weep Leeds and Sheffield, so long a desideratum to the inhabitants ..f these, the two largest towns in Yorkshire—the opening of direct railway communication with Barnsley, from which that important manufacturing town has hither o been excluded—its con .•exion with the line projected to Harrogate, whither so many thousands of visitors annually resort in pur suit of health and pleasure, constitute a summary of Avantages which cannot fail to recommend this project to public favour and support. It is calculated that the traffic in minerals alone will yield a lucrative return to the Shareholders while the extraordinary Increase of travelling which every ad ditional facility creates, and the surprising influx of trade which every new railway brings to the district through which it passes, adding largely to the profits of the undertaking, render it pro bable thst the advantages which will actually be realised by this project will exceed the most sanguine expectations of its pro. motes.

SECRETARY—Mr. John C. Sommers. In submitting this undertaking to the public, tho promoters are influenced no lees by a conviction of its importance as a direct con necting line between the important towns of Chichestur and Ports in,ith and the metropolis, than by Its grand national importance in affording a direct communication between the two great military and naval arsenals of Great B itain —Portsmouth and Chatham. The projected undertaking, by proceeding to the two termini at Chtchester and Portsmouth, will extend the facilitd.s of communica tion with the coast branches of railways along the south of England, connecting itself with Brighton to the eastward, and Southampton towards the west. By the main line falling Into the Brighton Rail way th , 7 advantage of two termini in London will he secured—the one at the Bricklayers' Arms, and the other at London-bridge—the latter of which, from its proximity to the Custom house, and the several docks on the Thames, is acknowledged to be the best position for a London terminus for merchandise of all descriptions. The line of railway Intended to be constructed by this Company will commence at or near the Redhill station near Reigate, on the Lou don and Brighton Railway, a distance of 21 miles from Loudon bridge. In its course to Portsmouth it will pass through or near Reigate, Newdigate, Cupel, Ockley, Ewhurst, Rudgwick, Cranky, Alfold, Itillinghurst, Wisborough-green, Plaistow, Ilaslemere, Chiddlngtold, North Chapel, Kirdford, Petworth, Alidhurst, Chilgrove, Stoughton, Radon, Westbourne, and Emsworth, at or near which last •mentioned pike this projected II .e will join the Chichester and Portsmouth Rail way to Portsmouth. A branch is proposed to be made from Dorking to join the main line at or near Capel. By this course the entire distance to travel betwi - . en London and Portsmouth will be abridged to 73 miles, a distance considerably shorter than that by which any line hitherto projected between► London and Portsmouth has proposed to pass, and also pursuing a route inure populous and productive than any hitherto presented to public notice. It will involve the construction of only 45 miles of railway to complete the course between the Redhill station (near Rebate) and Emsworth. From London to Reigate by the London and Brighton inilroad .. . . The junction to be made by this Company is From the paint near Emsworth to Portsmouth by the Chichester and Portsmouth Railway is .••• • .. • ....... 7 „ Total distance fl'om London to Portsmouth . 73 miles, Front Chilgrove a lino of seven miles will be constructed, and which will place Chichester in direct communication with London. The distance between Chichester and London by this route will be 62 miles, and trains will run direct between London and Chichester. Inas•nuch as the existing line of railway to Dover branches off itom the London and Brighton Railroad at Reigate, this projected line will open up a communication by railroad between Portsmouth and Dover. .... From tot inspection of the map, it will be seen that the RAWL] station, near Reigate, lies nearly in a direct line between Ports mouth anrChatham, and in pursuing the line of communication be tween the last-mentioned naval and military depot, this line will pass through or near to the towns of Bletchingley, Godston, Litnpsfleld, Westerham, Seven Oaks, Ightham, Town Mailing, Wsotham, Off hem, Snodland, Lower hailing, and Wouldham. The distance between Chatham and Reigate will Involve the pf 31 miles of railroad, and the line of railroad between Portsmouth and Chatham will exten.l over 82 miles. To the naval awl military establishments of this kingdom the construction of this projected line will afford the most important fa cilities in the transit of troops, stores, baggage, Etc., diminishing tha tardy course of communication which at present necessarily exists la.tween Portsmouth and Chatham, at present usually extend ing over the space of two days, and placing them In that direct com munication with each other which, in two hours, or thereabouts, wli) enable the journey between them to bg made. The fat - Illation of a direct line of railway between Portsmouth aml: Chatham will afford the opportunity of establishing, by an electric telegraphic, that celerity of communication so Important to be ob'ained between places of national importanea, The warm support of the principal landowners on the greater part of the lint is phalgsd tp this undertaking. The Provisional CoutruiltOP abstain from making any special re ference to the contemplated profit to result from carrying into effect thlis undertaking, f:Aing convinced that the extent of tratilc through the populous arul rich districts over which this line and its branches are projected to page is tittfileigtitlY known, and is deois!ve of the Inutility of all comment in that ye-spoof, Applications for shares, in the form given below, to he mad b. 4 the Solicitors and Local Agents, or to any of the following Brokes'a lt.

By the Sheffield and Manclr-ster, and the Bherflat end Rotherham Ilailwaya, the distance from Wortley .to Iteiherhatii is 14% mites, which by thP Proposed ex. tension will be reduced to 0. That portion or tits line will also open out one of the best coal-fields in England, with hanstible supplies of Park-gate and Silkstone coals—besides the green Moor Quarries at Wortley, containing very superior stone far paving and building purposes—while a t Thorneliffe and Chapel Town. there Rotherhamcreactiirettyaillost feagetioenrosluvgaii —and in the immediate ironworks In active ope ration. neighbourhood—there are large iron and steel works, and other ntstittffictories, requiring qualities of coal and ironstone, from which at present they are almost excluded, on account of the heavy carriage. Rotherham is the great cattle market of Yorkshire, and likewise an important corn market, and one of the objects sought to be attained by the promoters of this undertaking is the shortest route from the manufacturing to the agricultural districts —and from the agricultural to the great markets of Yorkshire, , ththe tr e a c m o o tr o u r initig districts westwarl. It will accommodate 4 the localities through which it passes, ani possesses the peculiar feature of following, as near as possible, the old route In which the stream of traffic, and especially passengers, has hithorto been accustomed to flow. The district between Rotherham and Gainshorou7,ll is destitute of coal, and there is no canal or railway from which it can be supplied, excepting by a very circuitous route—in fact, the supply between Rotherham and ltawtry is entirely carted along the turnpike-road. The celebrated grindstones at Wieltersley, with an immense quantity of the finest freestone, from the far-famed Roche Abbey Qnarrio., !right also be sect--the former to Sheffield, Manalleater , and Mr. niingham —and the latter to every part of the kingdom, were an easier and cheaper mode of transit established. It is needless to remark' that any line of railway commanding the advantages referred to, and connect'ng Lancashire and West Yorkshire, with the Trent and the Humber, intut prove a very ampl2 investruout for capital; Indeed, the returns of the existing tranie are highly satisfaetorY, Surveys have been taken, and the landowners g,nerally are favourable to the project. The length of the line is about thirty-five and a half miles. There will be .a clause in the Act of Parliament, limiting the liabi• llty of each sliareholder to the amount for which he may subscribe, and Power will he is en to allow interest at the rate of 4 per cent. a p r e I:mem: upon t h t e until the completion of the railway.

The scenery of Derbyshire is the resort of vast numbers of tourists; and particular care will he taken, in passing of the line near Dovedale, not to interfere with or change its beautiful and romantic character. The convenience, therefore, which this line will afford must necessarily cause a great influx of passengers, both on business and pleasure. Ironstone is not so abundant in the South as in North Staffordshire, and vast quantities are sent by the tardy, circuitous, and expensive canal company, which this and other limes of railway meeting at Uttoxeter will remedy. The gypsum formation runs from Staffordshire to the Humber, and the demand for this article for building, agricultural, and manufac turing purposes along this line will be great. The timber from the neighbourhood of the Needwood Forest, Banks, Ilagots Woods, and Kingston Woods, upwards of 4,000 acres, chiefly finds its way to the Manchester market by a like objectionable .route of tardy and circuitous canal convey ance ; whereas this line would open a direct, easy, and cheap communication to new markets. The line has been viewed prior to a detailed survey, and there are not more than ordinary engineering difficulties. In consequence of the late Parliamentary decisions, it is intended to make this line on the broad gauge principle, but the pro moters do not pledge themselves absolutely to do so. At the urgent suggestion of some of the most influential inhabi tants of Ashbourne, the Committee have ordered a survey of a junc tion to connect that town with Derby, and with the Derby and Gainsborough and Midland Railways Applications for Shares to be made to John Owens, Esq., 35, Moorgate-street, London, and William Arnold Bainbrigge, Esq., Uttoxeter ; and to the following Sharebrokers :—Messrs.
