Temporary Offices, 3, Abchurch-lane, London, This line of Railway will commence at the junction of the Man heater and Birmingham, Chester and Crewe, and Grand Junction Railways, at Crewe, in the county of Chester, and proceed from thence through or near the towns of Market Drayton, Newport, and Shiffnal, In Shropshire, thence through the flourishing town of Kid iertninster, to Worcester and• Tewkesbury, and to the Bristol Rail way at Gloucester. By this means It will form the most direct route from Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Hull, and Cheater to the Important ports of Gloucester and Bristol, indeed the most direct line from the north of England to the Bristol Channel. It will, also, In conjunction wtih the proposed Hereford and Worcester, and Swan sea, Merthyr-Tydvil, and Hereford Railways, form the most advan tageous route from Swansea and the iron districts of South Wales, to Liverpool, Manchester, and Hull. The line will cross the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway at Shiffnal, and the Shropshire Mineral Railway and the Treat Valley Union at the thriving town of Newport. It will form a junction with the two latter railways at Newport, whereby persons and lug gage may be conveyed to Stafford, Derby, the Midland Counties, Staffordshire Potteries, Sheffield, and Hull ; and, in addition to the carriage of heavy goods from Bristol, Gloucester, Worcester, and Kidderminster, to . Manchester, Liverpool, the whole of the north of England, and Scotland—will secure a large passenger traffic in the district through which it passes. The proposed railway will be about 87 miles in length, and be tween the two termini of Crewe and Gloucester, will save in distance at least '2O miles, and the journey can be accomplished, at the pre sent rapid rate of travelling, in about two hours. This project as a junction line, connects itself with some of the most important rail ways is the kingdom. It also skirts the large, extensive, and densely populated iron districts of Shropshire and Staffordshire, and in its course passes through a rich agricultural country. It must, there fore, be obvious that there will be a sufficient traffic to pay a high rate of interest on the capital required. There are no engineering difficulties in the country through which the line is intended to pass, the whole being nearly on a level, and eft reference to the map of country, taken from the Ordnance survey, Which accompanies the prospectus, the line will appear straight, and l _1 at the same time show th e su p er i or a d vantages it possesses, and b it the cannot be surpassed by a n y ex i s ti ng or pro j ected lines, between same termini.

The objects of this undertaking are—first, to establish one con- I 'mous, add a more direct and shorter line of railway communica len between Liverpool, Manchester, Huddersfield, Barnsley, Goole, treat Grimsby, and Hall, than at present exists, or is proposed by any other scheme now before the public ; secondly, to give the be nefit of railways to several populous and important intermediate places now unprovided therewith ; thirdly, to afford increased fa cilities of transit to the whole intervening district ; and fourthly, to *Pen a communication from Huddersfield, southward, with the me tropolis. The Legislature having, during the recent session, sanctioned the making of a railway from Manchester to Huddersfield, by the Sad dleavorth and Marsden Valleys, a communication is thereby secured betwixt the port of Liverpool and Huddersfield ; a similar communi cation is now called for with the Eastern Coast, and in order to ac :emplish the same, it is therefore propossd to make a line, com mencing at, or near, the station in Huddersfield, of the Huddersfield and Manchester Railway, passing through the Kirkheaton and Kirk berton Valleys, by way of, or near Barnsley, to or near the Cud tworth station of the North Midland Railway, there forming a junc pion with that railway (by which a communication with the metro polis will be obtained), and thence proce e di ng to Goole, Great Grimsby, and Hull, by the nearest pray.icable routes. In order to effect the required objects, at as little 'expense, andiessen 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 only 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, end 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 liaddersfleld 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 Hall, 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 hitheito 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 fey the manufacturing population. The immense traffic, both through and lecti, which must pass upon the line, will afford ample remuneration to the capitalist. 1 great part 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 le as t possible infringement on the rights or claims of existing railways, or 'Wary is p r i va t e property. .41. portion of the shares will be reserved, at the discretion of the Committee, for such railway companies as this line may form Jane lions, or be connected with. The liability of each shareholder will be restricted by Act of Par liament to the amount of lips, subscription ; and power will be taken by the Act to allow interest, at the rate of 41. per centum per an num, npoa the paid-up capital, from the date of each payment until the completion of the railway. Applications for shares may be addressed, in the annexed form, to either of the Solicitors ; the Secretary, at the temporary offices of the Company, No. 41, New-street, Huddersfield, or to any 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 Greet Western Railways, at- or near Ilolsdon-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, Holsdon Green, Kensall Green, Westbourne Green, Maida Hill, Kilburn, Hampstead, West End, Highgate, Crouch End, Hornsey, Muswell Hill, West Green, Tottenham, Edmonton, Chinford, Stamford Hill, Stoke Newington, Newington Green, Clap ton, Highbury, Holloway, Kingsland, Layton, Stratford, West Ham, Bow, Bromley, Bethnal Green, Limehouse, lioxton, Homerton, Hackney, Shacklewcll, Dalkon, Islington, St. Pancras, Shoreditch, Blackwell, Euston-square, Paddington, Kensington, Hammersmith, Broinpton, Fulham, Chelsea, &c. ; connecting those places with the varous railways named, and all those south of the river Thames. The distance from the 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 Totten ham to the London and Birmingham Railway, will be 11 miles ; and the length of the branch line to Barnet, will be 4% miles. From the junction with the Birmingham Railway to Chipping Barnet, 9% 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 11am9- 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 lees 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 may bold out a prospect of a branch, in future times, from some of the trunk lines now contemplated. An ample return of profit to the investments of shareholders may be safely anticipated, and will arise from the following sources, amongst others : I. From the conveyance of passengers. 2. From the carriage of goods and merchandise from the City and Docks, &c., to the several railways which are intersected by this line, avoiding the delay and excessive cost of conveyance through London ; also from the conveyance of cattle, Sec., more particularly during the period of the large Barnet fairs. _ _ . . . - . 3d. From the conveyance of coal, both inland and seaborne fuel, and other commodities of general consumption, the great expense of which has long been felt by all classes as a most grievCis ev...

At several larg e public meetings held in Octob e r last, at Brentford, Isleworth, and Hounslow, resolutions were unanimously passed in favour of establishing a railway communication with the metropolis, and the Gazette notices were actually published ; but the difficulty of obtaining a suitable terminus in London induced the principal promoters of this important undertaking to postpone bringing their scheme before the public. This impediment has now been overcome, and by a proposed June- Bon with the Central Terminus and the Thames Embankment Rail way, parties travelling by this line will be enabled is) proceed directly to the heart of the metropolis ; and by the united Railways, which will ramify from this point, to almost every part of the country without interruption. By the intenaed Junction, also, with the Great Western Railway, at or near West Drayton, and by the intersection of the Birmingham Railway at Iffensington, these important lines will be supplied with direct access to the Central Terminus, and thence to the City, or to the Southern and Eastern Lines. The proposed line, which passes through or near the extensive and populous suburbs of Pimlico, Chelsea, Brompton, Kensington, Ham mersmith, Chiswick, and Turnham-green, to the town of Brentford, and thence to Isleworth, Hounslow, and West Drayton, has received the most cordial approbation and promises of support from the great majority of the inhabitants and other parties locally interested. This line is singularly free from engineering difficulties; and, although there is almost a complete continuity of town and village throughout the whole distance, yet, from the care with which the line has been laid down, so as to avoid property covered with build ings, and to take advantage of open and unoccupied spaces, the value of the ground to be purchased will not be nearly so great as, from the nature of the localities, would be inferred.

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 ground (the southern boundary of which is within 500 yards of the Bank of England) has been most carefully surveyed and valued, and the re port of the architect and engineer is of so favourable a character as t • have induced the Provisional Committee to determine on purchasing the entire site, and It has, therefore, been resolved by them to In crease the capital of this Company to 1,300,0001. The Provisional Committee consider it of paramount importance 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 will 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 to embrace that of a branch line to the present station of the Eastern Counties Railway in Shoreditch, which will effect an entire junction between the eastern and western parts of the metropolis ; and at the same tine afford a direct communication between the whole of the rail ways, which reach London to the north if the Thames, and give full development to each of their schemes by creating for them a common centre within the heart of the metropolis. Independently, therefore, of the almost incalculable local traffic which the position of their City terminus will ensure to this Com pany, will be added that of those companies also who will eventually co-opera e 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 valuab:e line of railway. A lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the entire district through which this Company proposes to run this llne ; by this means the most casual observer will be enabled to ascertain that the environs of London, north of the Thames, will be placed in immediate communication with the City ; while the dense popu lation of the City will enjoy a fad' ity of connexion with its suburban localities, necessarily affording it the greatest accommodation. With such important local resources, therefore, together with the vast traffic on which the shareholders of this Company have a right to rely for profit, a large amount of revenue may be fairly and Justly anticipated, fully commensurate with the outlay of the proposed capital. That revenue will be derived thus : The daily passenger traffic on the Great Western amounts to 3,345, 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 Comities amounts to 2,400 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.

LOSS QF ' Tr r Vri:FP 4 BAD roiTT? T rip r F"1 TL CARINGA PACKET. ,N 1 i:s-1 IL' ...voured :rem a letter by the captain of the Hyderabad, giving an account of her loss : " We left Sydney on the 3d of May, and had a tedious passage to the edge of the reefs. When within a hundred miles the weather became squally. On the 18th, at day light, saw the reefs from the decks ; kept working under easy sail till noon, and found that we had drifted fifty miles to the northward. Oa the 19th, kept beating about till the 23d, in hopes of regaining our position, but we found ourselves even still set to the northward. 1 then made up my mind to run through the above passage (the Murray Island one); unfor tunately the ship drew too much water, although in Flinder's Chart there is twenty-five fathoms marked where the ship struck, and in Horsburg's Directory it says—' A fine clear passage.' We found no more water on the shoal than fifteen feet; everything available was thrown overboard; and a stream anchor carried out to the deepest water. Night coming on, the ladies with some of their luggage were put into the long boat. About seven P.M., during a gust o f wind, the ship s li ppe d off the red into deep water. After anchoring, we found the ship began to settle fast down, gain ing on the pumps about two feet per hour. Ity midnight both pumps were choked. All hands were summoned to the boats where they had been previously placed. At two A.M. all hands being in the boats and fast astern, the ship began to settle fast by the head. About three A.M. the main deck blew up and the mainmast went. The ship then sunk, having her trucks above water. We then steered for the York Islands, being in the track of ships proceeding through the Straits, where we arrived on the 29th, and finally at Booby Island on the 31st, where I made the best arrangements I possibly could, with our scanty stock of provisions, for the long boat to proceed on to P or t E ss i ngton. O n the Ist of June, having embarked 28 persons, and having five pieces of pork, 25 of bread, and 100 gallons of water, I set sail f or Es sington, having brought Master Melville Sandys, Miss Mary Sandys, and their nurse, Mrs. Murphy, in the long boat. We arrived safe on the 6th, and I had the gratification of seeing the remainder of the crew and passengers brought in by the schooner Shamrock on the 7th. As the schooner was not large enough to accommodate the passengers, the com mander thought it better to remain till the Fly surveying ship came in, who will, in all probability, take them back to Sydney." The Shamrock, as we announced, managed to convey some of the passengers to Ceylon, whence they have come on here. The children mentioned above, have arrived safely at Singa pore. Among the horses, it appears that 12 were Govern ment property; the others were on private speculation. As seine anxiety prevails in town upon the subject, we give from the Sydney Morning Herald the following item : " The passengers on board the Hyderabad, Robertson, were—Mrs. Betts, three daughters, and son, Mr. J. C. Lyall, Mr. A. Ford, Miss and Master Sandys, Dr. Child, Mrs. Mur phy, Messrs. J. Knowles, John Stewart, James Broderich, G. P. Lynch, James Mason, Christopher Laurel, Colin Munro, David Peacock, Edwail Brown, John Stacey, W. Philip, and E. Hall. She exported, among other items -11 horses, J. U. Betiington ; 9 horses, C. Throsby; 12 h orses , A . W . Dallas; 41 horses, John Mackay; 26 horses, Dr. Child ; 4 horses, T. S. Morton; 3 horses, G. A. Lloyd; 3 horses, A. C. Brown; 2 horses, E. Hunt. The Caringa Packet, Cbillcott, which was bound for Ceylon, carried Lieut. Biackall, Ensign Bloomfield, Mr. E. Lot d, and Mr. Henry Van Deerlin." (From the Madras Athenmum of July 26.) The interest you always take in matters regarding navi gation and the welfare oh shipping has induced me to lay be fore you the following particulars of the unfortunate I).ss of the barque Caringa packet under my command. We sailed from Sydney on the 26th of April, bound for Ceylon and Madras. Nothing of any note occurred until the sth of May, when we passed about twelve miles to the eastward of Wreck Reef ; the wind then veered to the E.N.E., and not being able to clear Alert Reef and other dangers, bore away to pass to the westward. On the 7th of May, at sunset, shortened sail so as to pass through some dangers known by the name of Tregosis's Island, on the Bth at noon passed them in sight, and shaped a course N.W. by W. for Lizard Island off the N.E. coast of New Holland, when at 9.45 P.M. the chief officer, who had the watch on deck, discovered something of an unusual appearance ahead. He called me, but before I had time to order the helm to be put hard a-port, the ship struck with a tremendous crash on a reef and slewed broadside on. Immediately found seven feet water in the hold. I ordered the masts to be cut away and the anchors to be let go, for fear the vessel should be driven over the reef and sink in deep water—not being able to descry anything around us, but a foaming sea. I then held a consultation with the passengers and officers, when we decided to remain by the wreck until daylight if possible, the sea now breaking over the ship with tremendous violence. Fortunately the masts had gone clear of the ship without injury to the boats, which we now secured well. Daylight, as you may suppose, was looked for by all on board with the greatest anxiety, when, to our great joy, a small island was discovered not more than half a mile from the ship. The wreck now lying more steady, being well hove up on the reef, ragged a pair of shears and with great difficulty succeeded in getting the boats out without injury ; we then commenced to save what pro visions and water we could get at, and at night all hands went to sleep on the island. At daylight again went to the wreck, and found that during the night the sea had beat violently over her, and her decks and topsides had partly se parated. We managed to procure a few more casks of water, and some spars to construct a raft, our boats being only three in number, and not large, they were not sufficient to carry all hands the different of 1,200 miles before it was likely of come to any place of succour. The raft I constructed st as as follows—Four spars, lower yards and top-masts, placed at equal distances, five cross pieces with empty water casks lashed between each cross-piece; the whole well bolted and lashed ; then came four upright stanchions, and a platform laid over all. Lashed on a 100 gallon cas k o f water and sent all hands on. It appeared to meet our expectations. We then got the boats up on the beach to repair, found the cutter much damaged, covered her bottom with tarred canvas. Everything now being ready, the day fixed for our departure was the 21st of May. On the morning of this day mustered all hands and allotted them to their respective boats, having a crew of 24 men and the chief officer in charge of the raft. The Lascars refused to proceed ; the Tindal came to me and said they would rather we should proceed in the boats, as they had now sufficient water and provisions for three months, and no doubt by that time we could procure assistance. This opi nion being unanimous, we decided to man the boats, the crews of which were as follows :—Long boat, 3 passengers, second mate and myself in charge, the rest of the boat being occupied by provisions and water ; cutter, 1 passenger, 2 sea cunnies, 3 lascars and chief officer in charge; gig, carpenter, 2 seacunnies, and Mr. E. Lord in charge—making in the whole 15 souls. At 4 P.M. on the 21st left the island with a fine breeze from the S.E. ; on the 22d it blew hard, with a heavy sea, but being a moonlight night, it enabled me to keep the boats together. We were much pleased to find the boats behave so well, but as you may suppose it was a constant scene of baling. On the 23d it still continued to blow, and the sea running very high we now had to expe rience a very melancholy accident, which threw a gloom over all hands; for about eight P.M. the gig was capsised by a sea, and, I am sorry to state, Mr. E. Lord sunk to rise no more; the rest of the crew were saved by the cutter and my self. Proceeded on our voyage—daylight moderate. Lizard Island in sight. We now f ;rind the weather we had expe rienced had not only damaged our scanty stock of provisions, but had also made the water brackish. On the 25th entered the Barrier Reef, and steered for Booby Island, in hopes of falling in with her Majesty's ship Fly. Our next anxiety was that of the natives, as we had to pass through the group of islands noted for the inhospitable character of the p•_ople, and where the ill-fated crews of the Eaton and Stirling Cas tle, a few years back, were barbarously murdered; and had we been perceived in our defenceless state, no doubt we should have shared the same fate. We saw several of their fires on the land, but I passed through under the cloak of night. On the tenth day arrived at Booby Island, where we found the crew of the ship Hydrabad, of 600 tons, from Sydney, bound to Calcutta, having lost their ship entering Torres Straits. Fresh water was procured on the island, and we managed to do pretty well, in the way of provisions, with the oysters and a few fish I caught at times. On the 23d the schooner Shamrock hove in sight. I immediately went off in the boat, and was rejoiced to find an old pas senger on board, and that the schooner was bound to Ceylon. I need not say that we all met with a most hearty reception from Mr. Has,all and the commander. He came to anchor, and took the crews of both ships on board, in the whole 62 souls, and proceeded for Port Essington. The commander of that place, Captain WArthur, has promised that every exertion shall be used to promote the dispatch of a vessel for the relief of the men left on the island. After remaining three days we again sailed, bound for Ceylon, with the fol lowing passengers :—Captain Robertson, of the late ship Hydrabad, and four passengers, myself, chief and second officers, and three of my crew. To Mr. Hasall, owner 'of the Shamrock, as well as to Captain Browning, the commander, we all owe a debt of gratitude for their generosity, attention, and kind treatment to us during the voyage. The position of the danger on which the Caringa packet was wrecked is as follows :—Latitude 16 52 30 south, longi tude by the means of 20 lunar observations 149 55 45 E.— the chronometer showing a longitude of 149 55 E., variation of the compass 9 degrees E.; rise of tide at springs 5 feet; the island about 10 feet above the level of the sea, surrounded by a reef dry in some places at low water, the wreck of the vessel bearing N.E., by half a mile, and the whole of this danger does not exceed 4i miles in circumference. Another small island we observed to the S. W. about four miles, and apparently a safe passage between the two, although the charts show a clear navigatien from the Tregonis Island to the coast of New Holland in a N.W. direction. It is my opinion that other dangers exist, for on the 3rd night after leaving the island in the boats I am certain we passed in the vicinity of other dangers, although we saw nothing at daylight. I have the honour to remain, yours obediently, (Signed) F. B. CHILCOTT. FALLING IN OF A PORTION OF DUBLIN-STREET.- I About 12 or 15 feet of the road way in Dublin-street, which is in course of being tunnelled for the Edinburgh and Gran ' ton Railway, fell in betwixt two and three o'clock on Friday morning. The common sewer, which overlies the tunnel, was it appears, unusually flooded by the heavy rain which fell on Thursday evening; in consequence of which the bot tom of the sewer began gradually to be undermined by the water soaking through, and forcing in, the roof of the tunnel, , which, at this particular spot, was supported by beams of wood. prior to being arched over in the usual way with brick. Having once got a downward outlet, the current could not be restrained, and the workmen were obliged to desist from their operation in this portion of the shaft. The vacuum formed beneath the sewer by the destruction of the roof of the tunnel, ultimately brought down the superincumbent mass, forcing two of the beams and a quantity of rubbish into the tunnel. Several feet of the sewer have in conse quence been destroyed, together with the pipes of the Water Company, which rested upon it. The damage done to the tunnel is, we believe, comparatively trifling; but it will tahe some time to repair the rent made in the street, which is rather formidable, being about 15 feet long, 8 feet broad, and fully 10 feet deep.—Edinburgh Advertiser. WORKHOUSE COOKERY.— ` rise disclosures in the Andover Union have thrown quite a new light on the science of cookery, which not even the inspiration of a Soyer could have hit upon. That ingenious chef de cuisne has blended together poetry, pastry, and politics with considerable skill; he has invented a creme d'Angieterre, consisting of charms borrowed from the female aristocra , y ; but those ingredients, imaginary and unsubstantial as they are, must be considered as solids when compared with the materials used for consti tiding the dishes served up to the paupers in the Andover Union. Butter, according to New Poor-law Cookery, is made from the skimmings of grease-pots, and parochial tea is made from boiling old leaves which have already had their strength drawn out of them. A new Cookery Book, edited by M'Dougal, the master of the Andover Union, is evidently a desideratum in culinary literature which. even M. Soyer's universal genius has hitherto left unsupplied.— Punch. FIRE AT LEWES.—lntelligence reached us late last night from Lewes, of a destructive fire on the farm premissa of John Ellman, Esq., the eminent breeder of Southdown sheep, at Glynde. The flames were visible at Falmer, a dis tance of eight miles.

It may also be noticed, that from Swinton to Leeds by this project and the Leeds and Dewsbury line, the distance is much less than by way of Normanton.
