Oct. 11. 1845. dependent of any ether line already before the public, and possesses national advantages wh ich none can surpass, must, when carried out, become, without exception, the most important railway in Great Britain. One'of the first objects of this Company will be to obtain a most central and accessible terminus in London, and Farringdon-street has been fixed upon for that purpose. It is proposed to make a tunnel from that point to the Great Western station, from whence the line will be continued in as direct a course as possible to Holyhead In its progress it will pass through or near to the following towns: —Riekmansworth, Chesham, Wendover , and Aylesbury ; it will then proceed to within a short distance of Bicester and Deddington, and I from thence to Banbury ; it will touch upon Kineton or Kingtown, thence proceed onward to Stratford-on-Avon, approach within a short distance of Warwick, Alcester, and Worcester, where it will cross the Birmingham and Gloucester Railroad near to Bromsgrove, and proceeding thence to Kidderminster, Bridgnerth, and Wenlock, near to Broseley and Coalbrookdale, will enter the Vale of the Severn, which it will traverse to Shrewsbury; it will thence con tinue its route up the course of the Severn, and passing into the Vale of the River Vyrnwy, will proceed to Llau-y-mynech, Llanrhaladr, and Mechnant, accommodating iVelchpool, Oswestry, and Llangollen. At this point there are three passes, which have been inspecte d, and It remains for the engineer to select one as au entrance or passage into the Vale of the River Dee, when the line will proceed round by Corwen into the Vale of the River Aiwen, from whence it will run nearly parallel with the great Holyhead Mail-coach-road, by Pentre toeing to Capel Cerrig, it will then descend the Vale of Nant Frtmcon to Bangor and Holyhead. This line will in its progress feed, and be also fed by the moat consi siderable railroads of the kingdom, particularly those of the Great Western; the Birmingham. Gloucester, and Bristol; the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton ; the London and Birmingham ; and the South Staffordshire Itagway. 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 en the advantages of bring ing all those 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, anti the markets of Dublin, London, and Birmingham. The success of the Hndertakinz 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 mute 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 in the Bill to continue an independent line by Reaumaris to Holyhead: After a ea.reful investigation of the traffic arising from passengers, the conveyance of mineral and agricultural produce, and the direct transmission of the mails, the Directors feel warranted in anticipating a return of at least ten per cent. en the capital invested. A treaty is in progress with a Steam Navigation Company to run powerful steamers between the harbours of Holyhead and Kingston on the arrival of the trains, so that passengers and merchandise mazy 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 new 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 complete 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. flaallg, Ine. very lotiest. 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 in all its details will be rendered worthy an enterprise se 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 np ; 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.

This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda and Ely Vallies, 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, where iron-stone also abounds with the coal in im mense quantities, and laying, geologically speaking, nearly flat, 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 steam purposes, being nearly smokeless, although inflammable, indeed so pre-eminently Is the superiority of this de scription of coal established for steam purposes over any other, that the demand for It tar exceeds the supply, and promises, accord ing to the opinion of the most eminent marine engineers, to super sede all others for purposes of steam navigation. This source of traffic alone will afford a handsome return for the capital invested, as has been demonstrated in every instance where MR tram-roads or canals have been constructed to open the mineral resources of ether less promising Tallies in Wales than the Rhondda, which is cele brated for the abundance, quality, and facility of obtaining 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 nearer and cheaper than by any ether line. This line will afford to the increasing population of the rich vales of Ely and Rhondda a much desired communication with the great market tr.wii and port of Cardiff, from whence, at present, they may be said to be almost excluded. It is intended that the line shall commence at Blaen Rhondda, the head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down by 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 sly 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 Bristol channel. A preliminary survey has already been made by competent, par ties, and it is found that the country admits of highly favourable gradients, so much so that it is confidently anticipated that the works will be executed very coasiderably under the advertised ea- Railway George Woodreffe Franklyn, Esq , Clifton, Bristol W.

SECRETARY—Harry Burrard Farnall, Esq. The Provisional Committee of the North London Junction Rail. way Company have great satisfaction in informing their subscribers that negotiations are now pending between the Provisional Commit tee of this Company and the Directors of the Railways north of the Thames of such a character as to assure them that the City terminus of this Company will form the Grand Terminus of all the City traffic north of London. To effect this important object, an area of 10 acres of gromtd (the southern boundary of which is within 500 yards of the Bank of England) has been most carefully surveyed aad valued, and the re port of the architect and engineer is of so favourable a character as to have induced the Provisional Committee to determine on purchasing the entire site, and it has, therefore, been resolved by theist to iv, crease the capital of this Company to 1,300,000/. The Provisional Committee consider it of paramount iraportance to secure within the limits of their City terminus, the amplest and most complete accommodation for the traffic of each of the railway companies who may co-operate with them, an object which wit, be effected by opening the very extensive and valuable space of ground alluded to, within the centre of the City of London. In conjunction with this enlarged plan, it is intended f's embrace that of a branch line to the present station of the East-an Counties Railway in Shoreditoh, which will effect an entire jr.nction between the eastern and western parts of the metropolis :, and at the same time afford a direct communication between tho whole of the rail. ways, which reach London tothe north of ',he Thames, and give full development to each of their schemes ',,y creating for them a common centre within the heart of the metropolis. Independently, therefore, of the almosr, incalculable local traffic which the position of their City termiwis will ensure to this Corn- Pany, will be added that of those cowponies also who will eventually co-operate with the North London_ Junction Railway Company, and the perfection of a project of no 'ordinary magnitude and importance will be realised throughout the whole of this short but very valuable line of railway. A lithographic sketch P.oW publishing will accurately define the entire district throrgh w'..ich this Company proposes to run this line; by this means the moat., casual observer will be enabled to ascertain that the environs of T,,ondon, north of the Thames, will he placed in immediate commr.elication with the City ; while the dense popu lation of the Citi:, will enjoy a fad ity of connexion with its suburban localities, nece',sarily affording it the "greatest accommodation. With suck, important local resources, therefore, together with the vast tratll , .; on which the shareholders of this Company have a right to rely for profit, a large amount of revenue may be fairly and justly antici , :atted, fully commensurate with the outlay of the proposed cap! , of. That revenue will be derived thus : ihe daily passenger traffic on the Great Western amounts to '4,345, one-half of which reaches the City. The London and Bir mingham amounts to 4,322 daily, two-thirds of which reach the City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,408 persons daily, half of whom pass to the West-end of London. The omnibus traffic daily \ is 30,894 passengers, two-thirds of which may be given to the City. Passengers from the suburban districts reaching the City, now un accommodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily. • From these sources the following products aro derived:— at6d fr . for Ann. Passengers from the Great Western and Birmingham Rail way,om:tie.; Eastern Counties to the City terminus 452'523 Passengers of this Company, at 3d. each Omnibus passengers' traffic, at 6d. each, .. • . • present as taken at . • • • • • • • • .. .. . 142,208 tons of goods and parcels pass annually fr: ... • • • 187,929 Great Western and the London and Birmingham Rail ways into the City, at an average cost of carriage 3s 6d. per ton throughout.

From the carriage of goo ds, p arcels, and m a i ls , bringing 111• 17,776 to the Eastern Counties Railway Company a revenue of 40,000/. a year, may be derived the sum of ........ 10,000 pital. The landowners along the line are favourable to tkis undertaking, and the names of many influential proprietors will be found on the Provisional Committee. No Subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of kis de posit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount et his subscription.. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Company - shall be under the control of the Managing Directors, to whom power is given to allot the Shares, and to apply the funds of the Company in payment of all the expenses incurred in its forma tion, and in the preparation of the plans and sections to be submitted to Parliament. Power will be applied for in the Act (and in the meantime is hereby given to the Managing Directors as above), to raise any addi tional capital, to extend or abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, or enter into any arrangements, by amalgamation or otherwise, with any other company or companies, and also to nomi nate the first Directors of the Company. In the allottment of Shares, a preference will be given to landowners on the line and other parties locally interested.

Pontefract The object of this railway is to connect, in the most direct course, the Important and increasing manufacturing town of Leeds with the metropolis, tile want of which has long been felt, and is too univer sally acknowledged to need any comment, and it is under this con viction that this important undertaking, a ter several minute exa minations of the country through which it will pass, has been brought forward. The proposed line will commence at the jnnction of the Manchester and Leeds, and York and North Midland Railways, near Wakefield, and will terminate by means of a junction with the Eastern Coun ties Railway, at Bedford (to which place it is the intention of that Company to extend their line in the ensuing session of Parliament), and by thus availing itself as far as possible of the ex i sting railways, will complete the most direct and least expensive trunk line, from London to Leeds, York, and Hull. It will pass in its route within an available distance of Wakefield, Pontefract, Doncaster, Rotherham, East Redford, Nottingham, Newark, Grantham, Melton Mowbray, Oakham, and Stamford. The importance of such a line is obvious, both from the nature of its cow se (embracing, as it does, a most extensive population within its limits), as also from the absence of any direct communication for the conveyance of passengers and merchandise. By the construction of this railway. railway communication to London will be given to Peterborough and Leicester (by means of the Syston and Peterborough Railway), to Newark and Nottingham, (by the Nottingham and Lincoln line(, and to Sheffield and Gains borough, )by the Sheffield and Gainsborough line), by a much shorter route than by any existing railways. Independently of the advantages offered to the towns in the seve ral counties through which this line will pass, the line in itself, con sidered as a direct trunk line between London and Leeds, is sufficient to justify its formation, it being well known that the existing traffic between these two places would produce such a return on the capital required, as to admit of a dividend equal to that of any railway in operation ; but when it is borne in mind that a company is being formed for the purpose of connecting Glasgow with ,Leeds by means of a junction with the York and Carlisle Railway, no better line can be presented to the public, as it will not only effect a direct communication from Glasgow and the western parts of Scotland to London, but would also connect Edinburgh acid the eastern parte of Scotland, as well as Durham and Newcastle (by the York and North Midland, and Great North of England Railwa) s) with the metropo lis, which would be considerably shorter than the accommodation offered by any other company ; and when cost of construction is con sidered, there cannot be a doubt but that preference would be given to the Great Leeds and London Direct Railway. The fact of the Eastern Counties Railway being connected by a branch line with the East and West India Docks on the river Thames, and the Railway Company having recently leased for 999 years the extensive pepper warehouses belonging to those docks, which are capable of receiving 12,000 tons of goods, together with wharfs adjoining, where the shipment and trans-shipment of goods from all parts of the world can take place, is a most important fea ture in favour of the direct communication from tile manufacturing towns of Glasgow and Leeds offered by the Great Leeds and London Direct Railway and, by branch railways to the main trunk line, through which all goods from the manufacturing districts could be conveyed at once to these warehouses for shipment, thereby avoiding the present delay and expense of cartage, and in reality establishing an almost direct and invaluable connexion between the rivers Clyde and Thames. It has been ascertained that there are no engineering difficulties, that the w ,rks will be easy, and the gradients remarkably goad, and that it will not materially interfere with any ornamental property. The subscribers will be held liable only to the extent of th, it first deposits, until an Act of Parl ament is obtained, and afterwards only to the amount of their subscriptions. It is proposed to take power in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum on all calls until the opening of the line, and also to extend the line to Hertford on the Eastern Counties line, in the event of that Company not prosecuting their line to Bedford.

At a meeting of the inhabitants and owners of property in Brent ford and its vicinity, held on Saturday, the 11th instant, in pursuance of a requisition most numerously and respectably signed, HENRY DOWN ALL, Esq., Spring-grove, in the Chair, It was in oposed by G. COOPER, Esq., seconded by Mr. WALBRAN, and unanimously resolved 1. That it is highly desirable that railway communication be esta blished between Hounslow and Lot.don, and that it be as direct as the nattue of the country will permit, and follow as closely as pos sible the old coach thoroughfare. _ _ _ _ . Proposed by Major JELFSIIARP, seconded I, y B. J. ARMSTRONG, Esq., and unanimously resolved 2. That having heard and considered a statement of the course h the projected line of Mr. Page will take, this meeting is of opinion that such line is most highly calculated to promote the in terests of this town and neighbourhood, and presents a prospect of far greater advantage than any line crossing the river, and not pro ceeding directly to the centre of the metropolis. Proposed by JAMES SIONTGOMREY, Esq., seconded by Mr. RING, and unanimously adopted— _ . 3. That the line projected by Mr. Page is particularly entitled to the support of the inhabitants of this town and neighbourhood, for the following amongst other reasons :- 1. That it is the line originally proposed by the inhabitants of this district. 2. That it follows the direct course of the ancient thoroughfare from Hounslow to London, without crossing the River Thames. 3. That means having been taken for extending the original ter minus from 'Milbank to the immediate vicinity of Charing-cross, it presents a more convenient access to the metropolis than any other line. _ _ . That this meeting, therefore, pledge themselves to give every as sistance in promoting the success of this line. The thanks of the meeting were unanimously voted to Henry Pownall, Esq., as well for his kindness in taking the chair, as for the ability with which he presided over the meeting.

By means of existing and proposed railway s, it will fonn a complete chain of railway com munication between the whole of the midland and north-eastern counties of England, the populous cities and towns before-named, and the southern and western districts, and thus bring Leicester, Not tingham, Newark, Lincoln, Gainsborough, Great Grimsby, and Hull, into direct communication with the favourite and fashionable spas of Leamington and Cheltenham, the richly-productive and far-fumed Vale of Evesham, and the seaports of Gloucester, Bristol, Plymouth, and Falmouth, and those of South Wales. The inhabitants and visitors of the much-frequented watering places of Leamington and Cheltenham, will thus obtain a direct line between those resorts, instead of the present circuitous route through Birmingham, affording that facility of intercommunication which has long been ardently desired ; and it will also afford the utmost fa cility of access to the innumerable visitors who, attracted as well by the beauty of the scenery as the memory of Shakspears, annually resort to Stratford-on-Avon. _ . . To those passengers from the east and north-east, direct to Giou- Gloucester, the line from Tewkesbury, cutting off the angle of the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway to Cheltenham, will afford a great accommodation, and a saving in distance of at least eight miles, besides the delay of the stoppage at Cheltenham. At Tewkesbury it will also form a junction with the proposed line from that place to Malvern, affording the most direct communication to the numerous visitors to the magnificent scenery and invigorating atmosphere of the celebrated Malvern-hills. To the inhabitants of the ancient and populous borough of Tewkes bury, this portion of the proposed line will prove immensely advan tageous ; situated within ten miles of the important city and port of Gloucester, they have nevertheless to travel by the present railway route nearly twice that distance, an Inconvenience which .has already materially affected the trade, and prejudiced the interests of the town. The proposed line, running close to the town, will remove this great inconvenience, and restore its trade to its former state of prosperity. The value of this line to the city and port of Gloucester cannot be too highly estimated, as it will not only open to it immense sources of traffic from the whole of the eastern and north-eastern counties, but will very materially lessen the distance between it and Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire, snaking Gloucester still more securely the nearest and most accessible outlet for the whole of that immensely productive manufacturing region ; and it is impossible to conceive any project bettor calculated to advance the interests of Gloucester, than one capable of effecting that object. This line will also form an important junction between the London and Birmingham and Midlands Railways, and the Bristol and Gloucester Railway, and constitute the highway for the traffic of the former, and of all the north-eastern railways, to the proposed Man chester and Southampton Railway at Cheltenham; and the through traffic front the latter source alone is expected to be very great; It will thus have the effect of connecting the ports of the eastern and north-eastern with those of the western and southern coasts ; of affording the most direct and convenient access from the north and east to the vast mineral regions of South Wales, and of opening new markets for the rich products of the fertile valleys of the Avon and Severs, and the agricultural districts of Warwickshire and Wor cestershire, in the manufacturing towns and ports of the north. The line will lie easy of construction, traversing, as it does, through nearly its whole length, the valleys of the Avon and Severn. The towns through which it will run are very populous, and the country of the richest description ; and the local traffic will consequently be Very great in addition to the through traffic, which on such a line must necessarily be very extensive. The Provisional Coysimittee reserve to themselves the power to amalgamate with any other company as to the whole or any part of the line, and to vary or extend the line, and to increase or diminish the capital accordingly, if deemed expedient. The capital proposed to be raised is 1,000,900/., in shares of all upon which a deposit of 21. 2s. per share must be paid upon t ment. . The liability of the subscribers will be limited by the Act to the amount ot their respective subscriptions to the capital stock, and power will be applied for in the Act to allow interest at the rate of 41. per cent.per annum on the amount of the depogt, and upola the re- I s4b.. „ •• :,. ,~, 12,061 l I RTGi n J u „ A IvELI cTi uN . p C hatham .
