But great as these results most certainly will be, they are far out weighed by the very important consideration that, in conjunction with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway, It will also be the most direct route from Liverpool to London. The distance from Liverpool to Leek (the proposed point of junc tion with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) is 4714 miles; from Leek to Rugby, according to the line as proposed by the Bfan cheater and Rugby Direct Railway, 58 miles, and from Rugby to London 83 miles; thus making the whole distance frees Liverpool to London 188% miles, instead of 210, by the present route. With regard to the traffic and other details connected with the working of the line, it seams only necessary to revert to the great importance of the towns proposed to be brought into communication with each other, In order to convince the minds of all that the source of revenue thus derived will be immense.

It will also form a means of communication with the severalpro jected lines, to the rising port of Great Grimsby. It is a remarkable feature in this line, that there is no competing scheme, nor does it at all interfere with any ornamental or residen tial property. It is not considered essential to enter into the details of traffic ; the value of the lines in the district, in that respect, is a sufficient test of its extent, in addition to which, the railway will become the recipient of much of the northern traffic, arising from the numerous branches with which it :is connected, and must also become the Grand Trunk Line to London from the Western part of Yorkshire. By the Subscribers' Agreement, authority will be given to the Di rectors to enter into such arrangements with existing Companies as may appear to them expedient. A preference will be given in the allotment to the shareholders in the adjacent lines, which fact, with particulars, must be stated in their applications.

The surveys have been made by Sir John Mac neill and James Thompson, Esq., and the country is found to be fa • be tween York, Leeds, and the intermediate towns iu the most direct your - able to the construction of a railway ; and there is, perhaps, no line of such, i m p or t anc e which could be constructed at comparatively so small an expense as the sum named in the estimate. The length of the line will b e but about thirty-nine miles ; and b y means of this short link, in conne xion with existin g p ro j ect s from Nottingham, a saving w ill be effected between Leeds and the Metro polls exceeding twenty-five miles. It will commence at the projected terminus of the Wakefield, Pon tefract, and Goole Railway, at Pontefract, and from thence proceed through Doncaster, Tickhill, and Worksop, to the terminus of the thereby completing, by means of the York an d Nort h Midland Nottingham, Mansfield, and Midland Counties Railway, at Mansfield ; Rail way, the shortest route from York to Nottingham and London. It will also, by the proposed extension line of the Wakefield, Pontefract and Goole, from the York and North Midland, pear Methley, form the nearest lisle between Leeds, Nottingham, the Midland and South (Provisionally Registered.) A ProspcclD, a ith the names of a most influential Committee, and other details, will appear in a few days.

This railway will commence at the station of the Monmouth and Hereford and Worcester and South Wales Junction at Ross, pro ceeding through a rich agricultural district, now devoid of railway accommodation, to Abergavenny, and from thence by Llanelly, Nant-y-Glo, Tredegar, Ebbw Vale, Rumney, and Dowlais to Merthyr Tydvil, at which place it will join the Taff Yale Railway. The dis tance will not exceed 40 miles. On reference to the map it will be seen that this line, in conjunc tion with the proposed Worcester and South Wales Junction, via Ledbury, Malvern, and Ross, will perfect a continuous and direct communication from Merthyr Tydvil to London, Gloucester, Bir mingham, South Staffordshire, and the north. The population of Merthyr, and the surrounding mineral districts exceeds 120,000, and this line will place it in direct connexion with the agricultural counties of Monmouth, Hereford, and Worcester. The line will be laid down so as to render the greatest accommo dation to the principal ironworks in the district through which it will pass, and a saving of ten miles over any other line will be effected between Merthyr and Worcester, and other places north and east of that city. Arrangements are in progress with the Worcester and South Wales Junction Railway Company, for the mutual advantage of both Companies.
