The great importance of the abo e line of railway, not exceeding G 4 miles in length, will be immedie it( dy seen by referring to the map. It commences at the Farnborough S tation of the South-Western' Rail way, crossing the Great Western 111 ie between Slough and Maiden head, and terminates on the Oxfoe, .1 and Rugby line of railway at Heyford, beyond Oxford, on the • route to Birmingham, accommo dating in its course, Bracknell, Sani ning-hlll,Bagshot, Ascot, Windsor, Great Marlow, High Wycombe, Princes Risborough, Thame, Bicester, and many other places , at present without railway com munication. It will form the most direct rovite from London to Banbury, War wick, and Birmingham, and by Vbe Grand Junction Railway to Man chester, Liverpool, Lancaster, and Carlisle, and by the Caledonian Railway to Glasgow and Edinbu rg h ; also from Crewe to Chester, Birkenhead, and Holyhead, thus •ening the most direct communica tion with Dublin. It will also by the branch to- Oxford, in connexion with the Cheltenham and Oxford line, f,r in the most direct route to South Wales, Waterford, and the south of Ireland, as well as by the Ox ford, Worcester, and Wolverhanap ton line to Worcester, and conse quently to all the central portion o: f Wales, thus forming the shortest route to all Wales and Ireland. _ The length of this line will not exceed 64 niiles, and it will save an average distance of 14 miles to e sh of the before-mentioned places, as compared with the route now - • traversed by the Great Wester's Railway. It is satisfactory to at. ate that there are no engineering difficulties, and that the land is Vire least valuable of any is the coun ties through which this line is in to] Wed to pass, avoiding, as it does, parks and ornamental property. To the advantages offered t;o the above places, by saving about fourteen miles In the transits to Lc radon, must be' added that of con necting them with the South-W'ect tern and the Reading and Reigate lines, affording passengers an c 'pp ortunity of proceeding to South ampton, Portsmouth, Isle of Wi gb t, Dover, Brighton, and all adja cent places, without the necessity of passing through the metropolis, thereby saving much time and i no onvenience. It will be seen from the foreg oU 1g facts that the formation of this line will afford very great adval its ages to nearly all parts of England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, a s it will materially facilitate the de livery of their many marketal de • products by opening another and more direct route to London. it is not, therefore, too such to ex pect that, independently of a grc sa t local traffic, there will be also an immense through traffic brougl rt on this line, which must pay at least 10 per cent. on the capital ; required. This is manifest, as the construction of the line will n Di ` cost 20,0001. per mile, while the London and Birmingham Railvr a] • cost 53,0001. per mile, upon which enormous outlay it continues to- p ay 15 per cent.

This railway will run from the town of Louth, through Market Rasen, to the town of Gainsborough, in the county of Lincoln, and is Projected for the purpose of completing a direct communication with the towns of Rotherham, Sheffield, Manchester, and Liverpool, and thus affording to the rich grazing and agricultural districts of the county of Lincoln a ready access to those important markets, and at the same time a certain and speedy transit for manufactured goods :Hid articles of merchandise. The communication by railway between these important towns has not, by existing arrangements, been provided for, except by very circuitous routes ; indeed, that part of the line from Market Rasen to Gainsborough has been entirely overlooked, and therefore the pre sent one has been proposed to meet the wants of the district, on the strong representations and request of a large and respectable body of gentry deeply interested in the success of the scheme. A detailed prospectus and plan is in progress, and will be ready for delivery iu a few days, with the names of a highly-influential Pro visional Committee of parties locally interested in the meantime, applications for shares may La made, in the annexed form, to Messrs.

This line is projected by the Norfolk Railway Company and the Grand ,Union Railway Company, and it will form a connecting link between those two lines. Leaving the station of the Norfolk Company at Brandon, the line proceeds via Downham Market to Wishech, and from thence to Spald ing, being a distance of about 40 miles. At the latter town it joins the Grand Union Railway, which continues via Grantham to Not tingham, thus completing a direct and independent line of communi cation between Yarmouth and Norwich, and Nottingham and the manufacturing districts. The distance between the termini will be as short by the proposed route as by the Lynn and Ely and Lynn and Dereham lines; whilst the traffic between Nottingham, Yarmouth, and Norwich, and the central, west, and south parts of Norfolk, the north of Cambridge shire, and the counties of Suffolk and Essex, being under the control of friendly Companies, will be secured for this undertaking. Estimates for the traffic are in course of preparation. In the mean time it may be stated that, from the data already furnished respecting some of the important localities through which the line passes, added to the fact that it forms part of a direct course of railway communi cation between Manchester and the surrounding manufacturing dis tricts, and the ports of Yarmouth and Lynn, there is no doubt an ample remuneration will be secured for the shareholders. Satisfactory arrangements have been made with the Eastern Counties Railway Company in reference to that portion of the line between Wisbech and Spalding, which has been agreed to be leased by them from the Wisbech and St. Ives Company. If the Wisbech and St. Ives Company succeed in their application to Parliament, the line to be made by this Company will be limited to that part between Wisbech and Brandon ; and in either case the two Companies promoting this line have agreed to take a lease of it at a rental equal to 4 per cent. on the outlay, and a moiety of the sur plus profits. In the allotment of shares preference will be given to the share holders of the Norfolk and Grand Union Railway Companies.

This line will diverge from the line of the Great Eastern and Western Railway, near Worcester, and proceeding by Brom yard, will end at Leominster, at which point it will unite with the proposed lines connecting Hereford and Shrewsbury with North Wales. The communication by railway between these important towns and the continuous hop and cider districts has been entirely left unprovided for by existing arrangements. and this line is brought forward under the auspices of the Great Eastern and Western Railway Company, on the strong representations and request of a large and most influential body of the landed gentry of the neigh bourhood. The object proposed is to make a direct communication between Leominster, Bromyard, and Worcester, which latter tows has always been the natural market for the produce of these districts, and to af ford the inhabitants the most direct communication with London, as compared with other lines, by upwards of 30 miles. No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the act is ob tained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at 41. per cent. on all calls from the time of their respective payments, as well as to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscrip tions.

William Polhill Kell, Esq., Lewes Robert Foreman, Esq., Solicitor, Tonbridge Wells Benjamin Hall, Esq., Busted Lodge, near Uckeleld. This railway is projected to form a direct communication between Brighton and Tonbridge Wells. It will commence at a point of junction with the Brighton and Lewes Railway at the town of Lewes, and proceeding by the Valley of the Ouse, pass by Uckfleld and Rotherfleld, thence following the valley to Groombridge, proceed to Tonbridge Wells, and there form a junctilit with the Tonbridge Wells branch of the South-Eastern Railway. The length of the line will be about twenty-two miles. The neces sity and advantages of this line of railway are self-evident—it will connect Brighton immediately with the populous and fashionable neighbonrhood of Tonbridge Wells, and more mediately it will con nect Southampton, Portsmouth, Chichester, and the ports of the western coast of Sussex, with the important towns of Maidstone, Chatham, Rochester, Canterbury, and Dover; thus effecting the greatly desired object of the shortest and most rapid communication between Dover and Southampton. The internal communication between Kent and Sussex will be thus rendered complete. The following towns and populous villages are in constant trading communication with Lewes and Brighton, and will be accommodated by this line :—Barcombe, Ringmer, Isfield, Little Horsted, Uckfleld Maresfield, Framfleld, East Hoathly, Mayfield, Withyham, Wadhurst, Newhaven, and Harbour, Waldron, Fletching, Buxted, Rotherilehl, Lamberhurst, Frant, Ticehurst, Groombridge, Hadfield, Ashurst. The existing local traffic will thus be alone sufficient to prove highly 'remunerative, exclusive of the great passenger and goods traffic that must of necessity flow into this course as soon as the ne cessary accommodation is afforded. Detailed traffic tables are in course of preparation. The preliminary surveys have been com pleted, and no difficulties, engineering or otherwise, present them selyes, but, on the contrary, this railway will be of facile construc tion, and easy gradients The landowners generally are favourable to this line, to which they have pledged their support. The usual power will be taken in :the Act of Parliament to allow interest at the rate of 4 per cent. on all paid-up calls from the passing of the Act until the completion of the line, and the liability of the shareholders will be limited to the amount of the subscription. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Company will be under the control of the Committee of Management for the time being, 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 formation, 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 Committee of Management, as above, to raise any ad ditional capital, to abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, or enter into any arrangements with any other company or companies, and also to nominate the first Directors of the Company. Applications for copies of the prospectus and shares, in the usual form, may be made to the promoter, William Hallett, Esq., Brighton; to W. B. James, Esq., London ; to W. P. Kell, Esq., Lewes ; to Robert Foreman, Esq., Tonbridge Wells ; and to F.

The object of this undertaking is to open a direct line of rail way to connect the Northern, Eastern, and South Essex Railways, by means of a steam ferry from Tilbury Fort to Gravesend, with Tunbridge Wells, Lewes, and Brighton. It is contemplated to proceed from the Eastern Counties Rail way at or near Harlow station to Tilbury, crossing the river by a steam floating.bridge to Gravesend, passing by Wrotham to Tunbridge, thence by the South - Eastern Railway to Tunbridge Wells, passing Uckfield to Lewes, and thence joining the Brighton, Lewes. and Hastings ?tailway to Brighton. An inspection of the map will clearly show the great import ance of this railway, whether considered in a local or national point of view, forming as it will a most useful chain of local com munication for the fertile and populous tracts through which it passes. It will bring the Northern and Eastern Counties, the mouth of the Thames, and North Kent, into direct communication, by way of Briehton, with Dieppe and Havre, and thus form, in con junction with the railways now in progress on the Continent, the shortest possible route to Paris and the Mediterranean. By this railway the large population of the North Eastern Coun ties, numbering nearly two millions, will have a direct and easy communication with the whole of the populous and important counties of Kent and Sussex, without going round to London, and thereby avoiding the inconvenience arising from the unconnected lines north and south of the metropolis. The utility of this line to the naval and military service, both in times of peace and war, for the conveyance of troops and stores, is evident. With the existing railways, and those now in progress in Kent and Sussex, a most complete system of local communication will be effected ; and as such, the projeet has been received with the most distinguished approbation and pledges of support from the principal proprietors along the line, and the Corporation of Gravesend have promised their entire sanction to, and will cordially support it. The ground has been carefully surveyed, and found to present no difficulties to the formation of a good working line. The existing local traffic has been ascertained to be amply suf. ficient to fulfil the requirements of the undertaking; but a large accession of valuable traffic cannot fail to be the result of the increased accommodotion thus afforded to the public, and rendering the undertaking one of the most important as well as productive lines of railway in that part of the country. The Committee reserve power to themselves to form a breach from Wrotham to Chatham. The liability of the shareholders will be restricted by Act of Parliament to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be applied for in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum en all calls, from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line. Applications for prospectuses, and also for shares, may be ad dressed in the form annexed to George Smith, Esq., Solicitor, 24, Golden-square; Messrs. Coombe and Sharland, Town-hall, Graves end ; Messrs. J. and E. Blaker, Lewes ; and also to the following Sharebrokers :—Messrs.

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 Previsional 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 trade north of London. To effect this important object, an area of 10 acres of gronad (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 10 have induced the Provisional Committee to determine en purchasing the entire site, and it has, therefore, been resolved b 3 thorn 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 Ceuntieli Railway in Shorediteh, which will effect an entire unction between tho eastern and western parts of the metropolis ; h and at the same time afford a direct communication between the whole of the rail ways, which reach London tothe north of the Thames, and give Rill 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 ensu re to this may, will will he added that of those companies 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. define the ♦ lithographic sketch new publishing will accurately entire district through which this Company proposes to r un this line; by this means the most casual observer will be enabled to ascertain mat the environs of London, north of the Thames, will be Placed to in mediate communication with the City ; while the dense popu lation of the City will enjoy a fad ity of connexion with its suburban locaVtfes, necessarily affording it the greatest accemmodaties. 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 of fairly e and pro j pose ustly d anticipated, fully commensurate with the outlay th capital. That revenue will be derived thus : The daily past:anger 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-thires of which reach half the City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,400 persons da of whom pass to the West-end of London. The omnibuso traffic the daily is 30,894 passengers, two-thirds of which m a y be glven t City. Passengers from the suburban districts reaching the City, now un erived From these sources the fonowing p roducts are d Per Ana. accommodated by any railway, are estimated at 4 , 000 daily.

This undertaking is designed to supply the wants of an exten sive mineral and populous district, the clrims of which to railway accommodation have long bees recognised, and various projects brought forward to secure the local traffic which is admitted to be sufficient to support a railway; this line will not only accomplish that desirable object, but also possess the advantage of foraging a direct eominunication, by the shortest possible route (in connexion with existing and projected railways), between two •f the most important divisions of the kingdom. It is intended to commence by a junction with the projected railways that will centre at Uttoxeter, from which town it will proceed by Rochester to Ashbourne, Wirksworth, Cromford, Mat lock (where it will join the Manchester, Buxton, and Matlock Railway), and thence to or near Chesterfield, forming a junction with the North Midland Railway, thereby giving to Ashbeurne a direct communication with London by Uttoxeter, and will confer similar advantages to Wirksworth and other towns on the lino, by means of the Manchester, Buxton, and Matlock Railway, via Derby. The line will be about thirty-five miles long, and the most direct communication that can be formed between Sheffield, York, Leeds, and other populous manufacturing towns of the north and the north-east of England (by means of the projected railways that will diverge from Uttoxeter) with the Staffordshire Potteries, Stafford, Shropshire, the densely-populated districts of South Staffordshire, Southampton, Bristol, the West of England, and South Wales. It is quite superfluous to notice that the through traffic, both in goods and passengers, by the various railways which will concen trate to a focal point at Uttoxeter for Sheffield and the north, will be immense. The goods traffic between Sheffield and the South Staffordshire ironworks is very great. The district is destitute of water communication, with the exception of the Cromford Canal, which the line will cross at right angles, and it is only neces►ary to advert to a few of the prominent resources of the country to show the magnitude of the local traffic. The price of coals on all parts of the line is very high, being carted a distance of 10 to 15 miles. The cost of this indispensable article of consumption will be reduced nearly one-half. The northern portion of the line will be cheaply supplied from the col. lieries which abcund on the North Midland Railway, and the town of Ashbourne and the locality (as to price) will be almost placed in immediate contiguity with the Cheadle Coal Field, where extensive mines of the Yard coal are worked, which produces an Intense heat, and is highly approved of both for domestic and manu. facturing purposes. The line will pass several valuable quarries of Derbyshire marble which Is extensively used in all parts of the kingdom; and also numerous lead-smelting works and rolling mills, producing large quantities of pig and sheet lead. It will afford an inexhaustible supply of lime for the highly cultivated land on the banks of the Dove and Southward. It will open the Derbyshire mines to the Zinc Smelting Works in the neighbourhood of Cheadle, and will afford a direct communication with Sheffield for the articles manu factured at those works, which at preseut are carted to Derby, a distance of more than twenty miles. Already a large cattle traffic exists with the north, which will unquestionably be greatly augmented by the facilities of this rail way, large importations of Scotch and Yorkshire cattle will be brought for fattening - on the luxuriant pastures of the Dove, tak ing in return to the markets of the manufacturing towns, the corn, cheese, wool, and other produce of the extensive and fertile agri cultural district which surrounds the Staffordshire terminus of this railway. It will bring the already large cheese and cattle fairs of Uttoxeter and Ashbourne into greater importance. The iron furnaces of South Staffordshire consume annually more than half a million tons of limestone : some estimates make the quantity exceed a million tons. It is well known that the iron masters give a decided preference to the limestone at the south of the Peak, eves any other that has hitherto been tried; the very great fusibility of this stone rendering it peculiarly suitable as a flux for reducing the stubborn iron ores of South Staffordshire, and were it not for the dilatory and expensive means of transit from Froghall, it would now be used to the total exclusion of all other kinds. The proximity of this railway to the iron district, the fact of its entering the limestone range at the most southern extremity, and the advantage of excavating the stone immediately on the line of rails, cannot but ensure to it a very large share of this enormous traffic, if it do not engross the whole. The cost of the stone and expenses of delivery by the canal from Froghall to the iron district, amount to 7s. per ton, and by this railway, after allowing a remu nerative toll, would be laid down at less than 4s. per ton. The visitors to the Peak are already very numerous. Let this romantic scenery (which may be justly termed the Switzerland of the centre of England) be opened to the indus rious artisans who chiefly compose the great hives of population with which this railway will communicate. Let this beautiful scenery be made easily accessible to this class of persons at a trifling sacrifice both of time and money, and the revenue from this source alone during the summer months will be found to be of no inconsider able amount. The projectors feel convinced that this railway contains the ele ments of great prosperity, and that as an investment it offers more than ordinary security. There can be no doubt of a profitable return for the capital, and the nature of the country presents in. superaLle obstacles to the formation of any other line which can materially compete with it. Applications for S hares, in the following form, accompanied by a satisfactory reference, may he addressed to the secretary, and William le Grand, Esq., Shorter's.court, London.
