To effect this object, use will be made of existing or projected lines, as far as practicable, and the chain of communica tion will be completed by throwing out new lines, where requisite, Commencing at Birmingham, it is proposed to use the Birmingham and Derby Railway as far as Whitacre, whence a new line, about 29 miles in length, will be made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Castle Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid land Counties Railway n forward doa t as n f bo ar ro a u s g G h a R i n a s i b l , o_r a o y u , g o h l! either by li b e y the p n g proposed o o s u e t d of Not tinghamthe'l he communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will be carried line from Nottingham to Lincoh, whiCh a an n Ac s t i ri was obtained by the Midland Counties Cornr:,,ny during the la s t From ßarton-on-the- Humber, br Gainsborough o w pugohn i r n a railway will immediate e l l d l aptreocvei ss to onf Parliament. session of ri t u ° ll n , rendering complete and entire the chain of co Birmingham and Hull. mmunlcation between By Mt project the advantages will result to the public of a Direct line from Birmingham to Nottingham, Birminham to Gn and from Birmin g ham to Haiullsborough, And by means of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Railwa y, and the intended extension to Ashby-d e - la-Zouch, a direct lin em already Wolverhampton to Nottingham, and th e other towns from Wolverhampton enu merated. The support of several companies will be enlisted in favour of the use, which, together with its own merits, will ensure its success i n Parliament.

A preference will be given in the allotment of share s to landowners on the line, and other loc a l p ropr i e t ors , as well as to directors and shareholders in railways interested in supporting this undertaking. No subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of the deposit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription.

The London Joint-Stock Banking Company The Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Banking Company Handley and Co., Bankers, Newark, This important line of railway, commencing at the port of Gains borough, laintended to pass along the Trent flat by Bole, Sturton-le- Steeple , North Leverton, South Leverton, Treswell, Rampton, Lane ham, Dunham, Ragnal, Fleetborough, Marnharn, Normanton, Grass thorpe, Sutton-upon-Trent, Carlton, Cromwell, Norwell, Bathley, North Muskham, to Newark, and thence to Nottingham, by the existing Midlands branch, making the total distance to Nottingham forty-one miles or thereabouts ; thus effecting a direct line from Gainsborough to Nottingham, which will connect Derby, Birming ham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the west of England generally, with Gainsborongh, Goole, Hull, and Great Grimsby. The object of the promoters of this railway is to afford to existing interests an opportunity of uniting to secure the immense traffic which exists along this line in its original and legitimate course, via Newark•upon-Trent to Nottingham. They propose no unfair inter ference with the rights and properties of vested companies, but, by cutting off the angles and curves of the river, render the route the most direct, economical, and speedy of any railway that can be made. It is free from any engineering difficulty or obstruction. There are no tunnels or expensive cuttings necessary; nor does it interfere with any residential property ; and the expense of forma tion will be much below the average cost, as compared with other lines. _ . _ ENGINEER.

Rogers, (Ming, and Co., Clement's-lane, London. SEeltEmity—lienry Brookes, Esq, The proposed railway will commence at Rugby, on the London and Birmingham Railway, the terminus of the Midland Counties and Trent Valley Railways, and the paint to which several other projected railways converge, and will proceed through or near to Leamington, Warwick, Stratford-on-Avon, Evesham, Tewkesbury, and Cheltenham, to Gloucester. The length of the line will ba about 86 miles. The advantages that will result from the construction of this line are numerous and highly important, and such as cannot fall to secure a very large amount of local and through traffic, and a highly-re munerative return upon the capital invested. By means of existing and proposed railways, it will form a complete chain of railway com munication between the whole of the midland and north-eastern counties ofEngland, 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-famed 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 Shakspearo, annually resort to Stratford-on-Avon. To those passengers from the east and north-east, direct to 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 lino 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-las. 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 pert 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 'neon', enience, 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, Wol ver h amp t on , and South Staffordshire, making 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 better calculated to ce the interests of Gloucester, than one capable of fleet I that object. This line will also form an important junction between the London and Birmingham :and Midlands Railways, and the Bristol and Glo former,uces t aa e nn r dd ß so a of i Railway, and eapintiodonrcothins.aeititute the highway for the traffic of the a. h s , t a e y rn at r c ai l l i w o a te y traffic from the latter source alone is expected h vn e ne p ryd ro tgr p n o: ea e t d inr.: Man chesterougthrough will thus have the effect of n s ii t a to o m b l connecting the ports of the eastern and north-eastern with those of the western arid 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 Severe, and the agricultural districts of Warwickshire and Wor cestershire, in the manufacturing towns and ports of the north. The line will be 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 v erb' populous, and the country of the richest description ; and the local traflle will consequently be t in addition to the mustnecessarily trough traffic, which on su c h a li ne very be very xten h sive. e The Provisional ComMlittee reserve to titelliSelves the power to amalgamate with any other` eottiDatly as to the whole or any part of the line, and to vary or Wend the line, and to increa se or diminish the capital accordingly, if deemed expedient. 8 _ 0,0001 in shares of 20 , The capital proposed to he raised 100 . upon which a deposit of 21. 2s. per share must be paid upon allot- went. Should the Act for the London and York line be obtained, this Company will avail itself of their line from Sutton-upon-Trent to Newark, a distance of eight miles, leaving only about fifteen miles of new railway to be made to complete this important line of communication, through a rich agricultural valley of great beauty, and possessing important local claims to railway accommodation. If the above Company do not succeed in their undertaking, the present projectors will occupy their ground from Sutton-upon-Trent to Newark, and construct the whole line from Gainsborough to Newark, for the accomplishment of which ample provision is se cured in their estimated capital. The merits of this line are such as will require no extensive pa tronage for its support. The local interest it possesses will be found sufficient to command a high station amongst the best railway pro jects of the day. All necessary preparations are made, and the plans, &c., will be duly deposited, in compliance with the standing orders of both Houses of Parliament, in order that the promoters may bring their undertaking before the ensuing Parliament. The estimate, which has been formed on the most liberal scale, to frichtde the purchase of property, and all other expenses, will not exceed 300,000/. Application will be made in the 13111 to allow 4/. per cent. per annum interest on deposit and calls until the completion of the line. Prospectuses may be obtained, and applications for shares made, to G. P. Hill, Esq., and J. T.

Temporary Offices, 11, Gray's Inn-square. The liability of the subscribers will be limited by the Act to the amount of their respective subscriptions to the capital stock, and power will be applied for in the Act to allow interest at the rate of 4/. per cent.per annum on the amount of the deposit, and upon the re spective calls, from the date of each payment until the opening of the line. The Subscribers' Agreement and the Parliamentary Contract will be required, to be duly executed when the bankers' receipts are ex changed for certificates of scrip, of 'which due notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by persons making default in due execution of the Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract within the time to be limited by such notice, will be absolutelyf orfeited.

The object of this line is to complete the only link wanting in the chain of railway communication between the ports of Hastings, Rye, ilythe, Folkestone, Sandwich, Dover, Ramsgate, Margate, and Deal. The railway already existing between Dover and Folkestone, and those now forming by the South-Eastern Company in Kent, Sussex, and the Isle of Thanet, and between the latter place and Deal, leave a short distance of nine miles devoid of railway, which this Company proposes to supply. Taken, however, in connexion with the proposed Kent and Essex Union, and Dover, Hastings, and Brighton Junction, it will perfect the entire coast line from the mouth of the Medway to Pools. The inhabitants of Hastings, Rye, Folkestone, Sandwich, Dover, Deal, Ramsgate, and Margate, apart from the very advantageous extension embraced by the above two schemes, will, by means of this line, enjoy the benefits of a speedy, cheap, and direct intercourse with each other, in powerful contrast to the present broken and tedious route by land, or the unpleasant and lengthy sea-voyage round the North and South Forelands. It is anticipated that, beside the above advantages, increased im petus will be given to the trade of those places by thus intimately connecting their respective interests.

The Directors have for some time past been in direct communica tion with the Belgian Government, and they have entered into a preliminary arrangement, under date of the 27th of September, 1845, with the Minister of public Works, by which the Minister grants to them the preference for the concession of a railway, to be called the " Grand Junction," and engages to conclude with the Directors a provisional contract, previously to submitting the " Projet de loi " for royal approbation, and also to apply for the sanction of the Legis lature. _ _ . The valuable and important ironworks of Couvin will also, under the same agreement, be ceded to the Company, The Belgian Grand Junction Railway will directly connect the provinces of Brabant, Hainault, Liege, Limbourg, and Namur, with each other, and with the Government Rues of railway, as also with the several lines of Liege and Namur, Landen and Hasselt, Louvain and Jemeppe, Sambre and Meuse, and the Great Luxembourg Mons. Marchal, the eminent Belgian engineer, has carefally sur veyed the line, and has deposited the necessary plans, sections, and estimates with the Belgian Government. Mr. James Thomson, one of the Company's engineers, has also gone over the line, and reports most favourably upon the peculiar facilities for the construction of the railway, and the entire absence of all engineering difficulties. The Chairman and two of the Directors have carefully traversed the whole of the line, and have received the most positive assur ances of support from the local authorities and landed proprietors. The provinces which the railway will unite were found by the census of 1844 to comprise a population of 2,188 551, and the dis tricts which it will traverse are situated in the heart of Belgium, and comprise an area of 165 square miles. The entire length of the Belgian Grand Junction Railway will be 102 English miles. This portion of the country is emphatically termed the Granary of Belgium, and, in addition to its vast agricultural preduce, is rich in ironstone, lead, marble, stone, and slate quarries. It has also nume rous distilleries. extensive breweries, ironworks, and large manufac tories of porcelain, glass, paper, Beetroot, sugar, gunpowder, &c. The great coal-fields of Charleroi and Liege, which are the most ex tensive in Belgium, will, by means of this line, be enabled to supply all parts of the kingdom at a very reduced rata. The Government lines already completed, as well as the several privete lines now in course of construction, will necessarily be the feeders to the Grand Junction line, as it will unite with the whole of them, and will traverse a district destitute of all water communica tion, and very imperfectly supplied with roads ; whilst the invariable rule of the Belgian Government not to permit any competing lines, must necessarily ensure to this Company the entire traffic of the country through which this line will pass. Tables, calculat:i with reference to the present amount oftrallic, have been careffilly and accurately prepared ; and, upon the improbable as sumption that there will be no increase when the Grand Junction Railway IS constructed, the shareholders would even then receive a large interest on their capital. But, as in all cases, and more parti cularly in Belgium, Increased facilities of communication have been accompanied by a great increase of traffic, there can be no doubt that the Grand Junction Railway Company wall pay a considerable dividend to the shareholders. The expense Of construction, and the subsequent expenses of work ing the line, are very Much less than in English railways ; and it is an important feature that the enormous outlay incident to a Parlia mentary contest in England is avoided. A considerable saving will also be effected in the cost of iron, and of the locomotive engines and traffic material, which will be manufac tured at the Couvin works ; and tie Company have, therefore, the peculiar advantage of being independent of a supply from any other quarter, and free from the delay and disappointment consequent upon the present increased demand. The grant will be for ninety years, and the Act will provide that the railway shall, for the whole term, be exempt from all rates and charges whatsoever, whether local or national. By the law of Belgium, this Company will be constituted a Societe Anonyme, and the liability of each shareholder will be limited to the amount of his respective shares. A second payment of 21. per share will be required one month after the Concession shall have been ratified by the Directors, and the subsequent calls will be made at such periods as the Directors may determine. An accountable receipt will be given to each subscriber on payment of his deposit, which receipt must be exchanged for certificates for shares, at the office of the Company, within twenty-one days after the first appearance of an advertisement requiring such exchange ; such advertisement to be inserted once in the London Gazette, and three times in each If two daily Morning London newspapers. The non-compliance with this condition will entail on the subscriber the forfeiture of his deposits. Not i ce of calls w ill be given by advertisement in the London Ga zette, and two daily Morning London newspapers; and if any call on any share shall remain unpaid for twenty-one days after the day named, the share shall become absolutely forfeited. Interest at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum will be paid upon the amount of capital paid up, such interest to b.: calculated from the time of obtaining the Act of the Legislature until the opening of the line. All points of detail will, under the terms of the Convention and Act, be settled between the Belgian Government and the Directors; and it is one of the conditions on which the shares will be appor tioned and accepted, that the subscribers confide to the Directors full power to make such arrangement with the Belgian Government with respect to any alterations or modifications of the line, and of the terms of the grant, as they may think expedient for the furtherance of the interests of the Company.

Tavtstock —Messrs. Willesford Devonport—W. J. Little, Esq. mid Tucker Cornwall has long been struggling to procure the benefits of rail• way communication, but divisions amongst its friends have for several successive years prevented any scheme from being carried out. At length, on the 20th August last, at a full county meeting at Bodmin, presided over by the High Sheriff, it was unanimously resolved :—" That the general interests of the county of Cornwall, as well as of the public at large, absolutely require that no trunk line should be sanctioned through the county which does not afford the most direct, central, safe, and continuous railway communication from Falmouth and Penzance to London." This decision, in con junction with the appearance of the scheme of the North Devon Company, has appeared to the promoters of the Great Western and Falmouth Junction railway, to present a favourable opportunity for bringing before the public a Central Line, on the broad gunge, which, by the combination of four powerful companies, is now, it may be said, brought almost to the boarders of Cornwall. The Great Western railway, already open to Exeter, is now being extended to Crediton, and from thence the North Devon Company intend to construct a main line to join their north and south Devon line, in the neighbourhood of Hatherleigh, thirty miles directly west from Exeter, and about seventy miles from Falmouth. The Great Western and Falmouth Junction 'Railway will com mence near Hatherleigh, and will be about seventy miles in length, and form a direct extension of the line from Crediton to that place, proposed by the North Devon Company, and will thence proceed by Launceston, Bodmin, and Truro to Falmouth ; and in order to pre serve the old line of communication from Cornwall to 'Plymouth, ad mitted to be of great local importance, a bran will will run from the main line near Bodmin, through or near Liskearil, to join the South Devon and Tavistock Railway, near Plymouth. ' _ _ By means of this railway, and the North Devon, Credidto and Exeter, Bristol and Exeter, sad Great Western Railways, there will be a direct and unbi oken line on the broad gauge :from Falmouth through Exeter, to London, on the one hand, and to Plymouth and the South Coast on the other; and it will also be connected with the railways and canals already existing in Cornwall, and, by branches, with all the most important towns in that county and the North of Devon. It is also intended that the line shall be the best in engineer ing qualities which the natural formation of the country will allow, and that the formidable difficulties, which induced the Board of Traci, to report to Parliament against the late Cornwall and Devon Ceatrai line, shall be avoided. This scheme has a decided advantage of er any other at present proposed for giving to Cornwall the benefits of railway cdmmunica m tion, and is the only line which can with certainty effect the object to which the county became pledged, by the resolution of the 20th of August last—no other line affords " direct, central, safe and con tinuous railway communication from Falmouth and Penzance to London." The Cornwall and Devon Central Railway will not en sure a continuous line from Falmouth to London, until three other independent Companies shall have succeeded in obtaining their Bills ; and these projected lines have also to contend against the op position of through and integral lines from London to Exeter. Tim West of England below Exeter, is obviously the country of the broad gauge, and there is no probability that Parliament will sanction the introduction of any other gauge into that district, which would be productive of endless confusion and inconvenience. With the South Devon line on the one hand, the projected North Devon line on the other, the Exeter and Creditors and its projected extension westward to Hatherleigh, and the West Cornwall line from Truro to Penzance,' all on the broad gauge, and all projected or supported by the Great Western, and its associated Companies—there can be little doubt that no narrow gauge line will be permitted to run parallel with those already sanctioned by the legislature, or proposed for the further accommodation of the country by such influential companies. In order fully to comply with the expressed wishes of the county of Cornwall and to secure that " direct, central, safe, and continuous railway communication" so much required, the present line has been projected, and will, when completed, form the Central link of the great series of lines already under the direction of the Great Western, and the other associated Companies. It is therefore confidently presumed that no other scheme for connecting Cornwall and West Devon with the Metropolis, and the North of England, can compete with the present line with any probability of success, presenting as this line does the prominent points of national and local advantage, and possessing all the elements essential to command the favourable consideration of Parliament. As a work of national importance, it has been long admitted that a line o f railway to the important Port of Falmouth must be carried out ; the promoters of this railway do not, therefore, think it neces sary to repeat the here the highly satisfactory results of the traffic over the line, which were long since ascertained. It is sufficient to say, they prove an ample return on the capital to be invested. The survey is in progress, and will be completed in time to apply to Parliament in the ensuing Session ; and the promoters having already received highly satisfactory assurances of support, as well local as general, feel justified in expressing their conviction that their appli cation will be crowned with success. —. The capital will be divided into 50,000 shares of 251. each, upon which a deposit of 21. 12s. 6d. per share must be paid npon the allot ment. Power will be taken to pay interest on the deposit, and all calls till the line is opened ; and no subscriber will be liable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. Preference will be given, in the allotment, to landowners, to local applicants, and to parties holding shares in the Great Western, Bristol and Exeter, Exeter and Crediton, North Devon, and West Cornwall Railways. Applications for shares, in the form annexed, to be addressed to the Solicitors of the Company ; or to any respectable brokers in town or country. 68, Old Broad-street, London, Ist Oct. 1845.
