It is proposed to make a tunnel from that point to the (treat Western station, from whence the line will be continued in as aired a ccume as poss.bie to Holyhead In its progress it will pass through or near to the following towns : —Rickmansworth, Chesham, Wendover, and Aylesbury; it will then proceed to within a short distance of Bicester and Deddinaion, and 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 Bromsgreve, and proceeding thence to Kidderminster, Bridgm6rth, 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 Vyruwy, will proceed to Llau-y mynech, Llaurhalatir, and liniment, accommodating Welchpool, Oswestry, and Llangollex: At this point there arc three passes, which lmve been inspected, and it remains for the engineer to select one as an entrance or passage into the Vale of the River Dee, when the line will proceed round b Conven into the Vale of the River Alwen, from whence it wilt run nearly parallel with the great Holyhead Mail-each-road, by Pentre voelas to Capel Cerrig, it will thou descend the Yule of Naut Francon to Bangor and Hots head. Ihis line will in its progress feed, and be also fed by the most consi sidcrable railroads of the kingdom, particularly those of the Great Western ; the Birmingham, Gloucester, and Bristol ; the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhtunptou ; the London and Birmingham ; and the South Staffordshire Att.lway. As this last line will co-uect Dudley, Bilston, Wednesktry, Walsall, and Lichfield wish the Derby Railway and the Grand Junction Railway, it would be superfluous to expatiate on the advantages of hring ing all Cum important centres of the coal and iron trade and other trafik, and the vast coal and iron fields of Shropshire into close intercourse, and thus estedishing the cheapest and quickest means of transit between the minerals of Shropshire and the furnaces of hitaffordshire, and the markets of Dublin, London, and Birmingham. The success of the undertakinz is secured beyond a doubt, by the obvious fact that it will net 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 gave to London aid the neighbourhood of Birmingham a route 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 twe 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 stracght 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 sit able, power will ho taken In the Bill to continua an independent line by L'eauniaris to Holyhead. Atter a careful investigation of the traffic arising from passengers, the conveyance of mineral and agricultural produce, and the direct transmission of the mails, the Directors fe..l 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 may be booked throughout from London to Dublin, includiug all the inter mediate staaons, and be thus enabled to complete the entire distance in ten hours, without the hicon:•enience so painfully felt of changing from the conveyance of one proprieta-y to that of another. The railways now in active pr - gress in Ireland, running from Dublin north and south throughout the heart of the island, render it self evident that the chain orcommuni ation between the sister countries Is, by this present undertaking, rehdered 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 DireetorTi, and every advancement in science wit,, be male available to gain the almost possible amount of speed, com patible with safety, the lines being formed expressly for this end ; while, finally, the very lowest rate of fares will be adopted for ►oth passengers and traffic, and the pubic will find in the improvement 4,f the infer:or carriages, and some additional comforts for those of the first lass, 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 so 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 41. per cent. per a num on the amount of the subscriptions paid pip ; 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.

The Provisional Committee of the North London Junction Rail way Company have great satisfaction In' informing their subscribers that negotiations are now pendin9; between the Provisional Commit tee of this Company and the Directprs 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 Lyndon. To effect tkts important object, an area of 10 acres of groued (the southern botinffitry of which is within 500 yards of tile Bank of England) has been mist carefully surveyed and valued, and the re port ef the architect and engineer is of so favourable a character as lo have induced the Provisional Committee Le determine on purchasing the entire site, and it has, therefore, been resolved by them to in crease the capital of this COmpany to 1,300,000/. 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 6horeditch, which will effect an entire junction between the eastern and western parts of the metropolis ; and at the same time afford a direct communication between the whole of the rail. ways, which reach London tsthe north of 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-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 valuab:e line of railway. A lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the entire district throt.gh which this Company proposes to run this tine; 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 wills the City ; while the dome popu lation of the City will enjoy a foci 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 : Tile 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-thiri.s of which reach the City. The Eastern Counties 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 accounnixiatod by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily. From these sources the following products are derived:.— rer A nu.

This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda and Ely Vallies, with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles dis twice 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 Glamorganshtre, where iron-stone also abounds with the coal In Mi nimise quantities, and laying, geologically speaking, nearly fiat, 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 bast descripti.►n 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 far 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 bas been demonstrated in every instance where even tram-roads or canals have been constructed to open the mineral resources of other less promising vallies is 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 he obtained by means of this Railway, much nearer and cheaper than by any other line. _ This line will afford to the increasing population of the rich vales if Ely and Rhondda a much desired communication with the great market town 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 Risen 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 six 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 considerably under the advertised ca pital. The landowners along the line are favourable to this 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 of his subscription. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Co-opany shall be under the control of the Managing Directors, to whom power is given to allot the :hart s, 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 Aet (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. Prospectuses and Maps may be had of and applications fin Shares may be addressed in the form annexed to, W. B. James, Esq. Solicitor, 19, Northumberland-street, Strand; to W. Norm, Esq.

The principal objects of the scheme are—lst. To remedy the evils of delay and inconvenience to which parties are, at the present time, necessarily subjected in proceeding from the west end of the metro polis to Croydon, or the most distant places on the South-Eastern and London and Brighton Railways, as well as the several sea ports and packet-stations on the coasts of Kent and Sussex; and 2d. To supply to the numerous and wealthy inhabitants of the district through which the intended line will pass (at present wholly with out railway accommodation), a greatly improved means for the in terchange of communication with the metropolis, and with each other. Commencing at the intended terminus of the South-Western Rail way, at Ilungerford or Waterloo-bridge, the line will take the most practicable route to Kennington; from thence it will follow as near as posaible the old turnpike road, passing through or near to the wealthy and populous districts of Stockwell, Clapham, Brixton, Tulse-hill, Streatham, Norwood, Beulah, and Thornton-heath, effect ing a junction at Croydon with the several existing or projected lines from that place. It is also proposed to form a branch or branches from the neigh bourhood of Streatham to Mitcham and Tooting, and thus to extend to those places, and their respective neighbourhoods, the advantages of a direct railway communication with the metropolis. A great portion of the traffic in passengers and goods upon the Brighton and Dover lines is supplied from the west-end of London and the Birmingham and Great Western Railways. The necessity of proceeding to the station at London-bridge, and by the present circuitous route to Croydon, Is a serious and unnecessary inconveni ence, entailing additional expense and delay. The removal of this long-felt grievance is a leading object with the promoters of the pre sent undertaking. They deem it right, however, to observe, in lay ing this scheme before the public, that they hare no desire to Inter fere with existing railway interests, timber than is absolutely indis pensable, but that on the other hand it will be their object to yield assistance to, and in return endeavour to secure it, from each com pany with which this line may ultimately be connected. A glance at the map will show, that a s a branc h or arm of the line London o fc a o t i lß c h a t t o i ti noR fromatl wa y t , h t e lt i , s ,est undertaking en d otLoudon completes to a c straight , places de on he rsthteportsof Dover and Folke stone, Sou th-Eastern line, more easily accessible from that part of the metropolis. lteiga te as , and woii Brighton, a st severaland renders The grey =mat of traffic at the present time upon the roads be, . ( tween Croydon, Mitcham, Toot!Pg, 2. - c., and London, proves at once - that the existing railway faculties do not at all meet the exigencies of the mass of popnlatien to whom this line will be available. The population who re,i(le upon or in the intnediats neighbour hood of the proposed line, independent of the metropolis, and between the intended termini, exceeds 100,000, whose wants are almost wholly yupplied from the London markets, &c., and who have, at the present time, no mode of conveyance but upon the turnpike road. In the transit of building materials, corn, coal, lime, and other heavy nods, from the warehouses and wharfs on the banks of the Thames, and for marketable produce in each direction, this line must become to them particularly useful and convenh nt. Stone idea may be formed .. f the local necers.sity of this railway, when it is known that the number ofpt‘swagera-who avail themselves of the accommodation afforded by the severaomnibuses and other pub (vehicles, running upon the turnplke.road, have been ascer tained to exceed 2,600 daily. An equal number (at least) proceed by private ant other conveyances. Of foot passengers, although no accurate estimate salt be formed of them, it is considered that they at least numberfour times that of passengers who travel by con veyance. The tornage of got,.'. : it is calculated will be in full pro portion to the receipt from pas-..:. :i rs. Experience has fully prowl, :ii,i: on however liberal a scale the probability of future traffic in the transit of goods and passengers has been judged, almost every line of railway has, upon its completion, vastly exceeded the calculated amount. There are, however, in this instance, reasons for supposing that the extended facilities of con- ' munication will cause more than an.onlinary increase in the con veyance or passengers. The country which tits, line of railway will opyo is singularly picturesque and beautiful, and in addition to the min.ired districts of Ihixton and itscatiiiiin, the long-favoured and much-frequented Beulah and Norwood v. iii be placed within easy access, mid become more than ever, objects of interest and delight to the visitor and resident of the metropolis. There can therefore be little doubt but that the present line must become a profitable and eligible scheme for the investment of capital. The promoters of this ut.dertaking have pleasure in announcing that It is approved of, an I will he generally supported by local in fluence. They have caused a partial survey to be made, which will be completed shortly, and they have the assurance of their engineers that there are not more than_ ordinary difficulties to contend with. The liability of the shareholders will be restricted, by Act of Parlia molt, to the amount of their subscriptions; and power will be applied for In the Bill to allow interest at 41. per cent. per annum on all calls from the passing of the Act until fire opening of the line. _ . . .. ._ Applications for Anther information, prospectuses, and shares (In he form annexed), may he addressed to the Solicitors; to the Secre tary, at the offices of the Company, No. 34, Gracechurch-street ; or to the following Brokers :—viz., Messrs. 14. and M. 11 , yd, Princes street ; Mr. 11.

The establishment of the above railway will effect two great and important objects :—first, the supply of the metropolis and its vicinity with coal fully twenty per cent. cheaper than by the pre sent mode of transit: secondly, by the exclusion of passenger traffic to diminish the risk of accidents. The Board of Trade, in reference to the latter, have in their report upon the subject, laid great stress on the importance of separating the passenger from goods trains ; and the Select Cominittee on the Coal Trade recommend that every means of promoting a new supply of coal should be encouraged. The existing lines from the north being already crowded to excess with trains of every class, travelling at velocities varying from fifteen to fifty miles per hour, and new railways being almost daily projected as feeders to the great trunk lines, the already prodigious traffic on those lines must be still further augmented; so that it may be truly assumed, that the addition thereto of several millions of tons of coals and goods is out of the question. It, therefore, becomes manifestly necessary, with a view to public convenience, and to supply the metropolis and the intermediate districts with coals from the coal fields in the north (from which at present the greater proportion is supplied) that an indeperdent railway, devoted exclusively to the conveyance of coals and goods at a moderate and regular speed, should be constructed from Newcastle to London. It is, therefore, intended to confine this railway to carriage of coals and goods only; and it is amcrtained that the conveyance by railway of large quantities, for long distances, at a moderate speed, and at comparatively low rates, will be as profitable as the carriage of passengers at a greater velocity, The actual ex perience of the London and Birmingham Railway affords a safe ground for calculation; the expenses on that line for the year 1844 being 1,4721. per mile; at the same rate per mile, 2,000,000 tons of coal annually may be brought the entire distance from Newcastle; this quantity is about one-half of the present importation from London, making on the average from 13,000 to 14,000 tons daily. The extreme fluctuations to which the price of coal is subject from irregularity in the supply, dependent as it is on the uncer tainty of the winds and weather, has hitherto operated against the estabishment of manufactories on the banks of the Thames. From the same cause. also, London has, at times narrowly escaped total darkness, the gas works not being able to obtain their regular supply of coals. In the course of the last five years the prices of household coal, on the Coal Exchange, have fluctuated between 14s. 6d. to '27s. per ton, and last winter the price rose even to 355. per ton ; the high prices always occurring at a season when the scarcity, and consequently increased price of coal, is moat distress ing to the poor. The removal of the colliers from the Pool is an important con. sideration, as it will necessarily render the navigation of the Thames safer for all other vessels: and it is no valid objection to this undertaking, that it will supersede, in a great measure the employment of collier ships, because it is now ascertained, be yond all doubt, that coals can be brought to London by railway at 20 per cent less than those sea-borne ; and, therefore, London will be supplied from Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and South Wales, unless the present project, or one offering equal advantages to the northern coal.owners, in their certain and fast approaching competition with the Infant collieries, be carried into effect. In addition to the through traffic, accommodation will be afforded to the intermediate districts for the conveyance of coals and goods, which will materially increase the revenue of the Company. The estimated cost of the line is 5,000,000/ , and the traffic, in coals alone, will give a net return of 10 per cent. It is proposed to raise the required capital in 200,000 shares of 251. each ; deposit 21. 12s. 6d. per share, the subsequent calls to be made in the usual way. The customary clauses will be inserted in the Act, limiting the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their respective ;hares. Interest, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum will be allowed on all calls between the passing of the Act and the opening of tha railway, Prospectuses, with fuller information and in detail, together with Forms of Applicati.n, may be obtained on applying to the Solicitors of the Company, Messrs.

They, however, reserve to themselves the right of limiting this privilege to the extent of 100 shares, if a larger number should be applied for, or even 01 refusing it, in cases where they may find on inquiry that the applicant is not in their judgment eligible to be a shareholder; in such cases the deposit will be immediately returned ; nor will this privilege be extend e d beyond the deposition of 100,000 shares, after which the bankers of the Comp.iny will receive instructions to refuse further prelimi nary deposits. ' ' The preliminary deposits must be paid to the bankers of the Company, who will furnish a receipt for the same. The Coin. mittee caution the public not to negotiate such receipts, as their undertaking to supply the shares holds good only so far as the applicants, upon their references being examined into, prove re spectable and responsible.

This undertaking is designed to supply the wants of an •xten. sire mineral and populous district, the local traffic of which alone is admitted to be sufficient to support a railway, and amply re munerate the shareholders. The line will not only accomplish so desirable an object, but it also possesses the advantage of forming a &rect communication, 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 joining the Grand Junction Railway at Stafford, and proceed by the Uttoxeter, Rochester, and Ashbouine, to a junction with the Midland Railway, the Man chester, Buxton, Matlock. and Midland Railway, and the Amber gate, Nottingham, Bo ton, and Eastern Junction Railway, at the General Terminus at Amber-gate; a short branch from Writs. worth will connect the line with that town, and the important limestone Lnd mineral district connected with it. The line will be ,:bout forty miles long, and by its connection with the Midland Railway at Ambei •gate, and the Derby and Crewe Railway at U;- toxeter,t will be the nearest practicable route from Sheffield, York. Leeds, Hull, the populous manufacturing districts of Yorkshire and the north and north eastern part of England, to the salt districts of Cheshire, the Potteries, Liverpool and North Wales, and by Its junction at Stafford with the Shropshire Union Railway, will be the nearest route from those important districts to Shrewsbury and South Wales, and by the Grand Junction Railway, to the densely populated districts of South Staffordshire. The district is destitute of water communication, and it i• only necesinry to adveri 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 Hoe is very high, being carted a distance of 10 to 15 miles. The cost of this indispensable artiee of consumption will be reaiced nearly one• half, and this line will immediately communicate with the Derbyshire and Star fordshire coal-fields. The line will pass several valuable quarries of Derbyshire marble which is extensively u , e,l in all parts of the kingdom ; and also numerous lead-smelting works and rolling m•lls, 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 'actured at those works, which at present 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 •ill be brought for fattening on the luxuriant pastures of the Dove, tak ing in return to the markets of the manufacturing towns, the corn s c heese, wool, and other produc e of the extensive and fertile agris cultural district which surrounds the Staffordshire terminus f this railway. It will bring the already large cheese and cattle fairsi ofU h t e iron furnaces t o xetera r n o d a cAe f h s h o b o s t o t r u n t e intotaffidg,rrea,iheirr Staffordshire consume pis r t ne e T annually more q th o a a r i i iti h t a y lf ex a ce m ed illi a on m t i o li n io s n ot to l o n s n . est l o t n i e s : w so el m i e kn e o s w t o m o t , e a s t m th a e ke iro t n h - e masters give a decided preference to the limestone at the south of the Peak, over 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 th e dil atory and expensive mea.ls of transit from Froghall, it would now be used to the total exclusion of all other kinds. The pr ox i m i ty o f t h is railway to the i ron di str i c t, th e 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 that 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 Dovedale and the Peak are already very nu merous. When this line and the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midland Junction Railway open this roman' ic scenery to the indus rious artisans who chiefly compose the great hives of popu laticn with which this railway will communic.ite, and make it easily accessible to this class of persons at a trifling sacrifice both of time and money, the revenue trout this source alone during the summer months will be found to be of no inconsiderable amount. The projectors feel convinced that this railway contains the ec. ments of great prosperity, and that as an investment it offers more than ordinary security. The Imelowners on the line are favonrable to this undertaking, and the names of many influential proprietors will be found on the Pro. ,visional Committee. Arrangements have been made with the Derby and Crewe Rail. way Company, who take a portion of the capital, and give the line their support and co-operation. The Committee of Management are fortunate in having se cured the valuable services of Mr. Locke, as consulting engineer, and of Mr. Mceke, as resident engineer, who have assured the corn. mittee that the plans and surveys will be ready for applioatlon to Parliament the next session.

This railway will commence at the Important town of Wolver hampton, proceeding through or near to Seisdon, Trysull, and Cla verly, to the manufacturing town of Bridgnorth : from thence it will continue through a rich agricultural and populous district to Lud low, and there fall into other projected lines to all paris of England, North and South Wales, and Ireland, a distance of about thirty-two miles. It will afford dire& communication between Ludlow, Bridgnorth, and Wolverhampton, Dudley, &c. ; and, by the South Staffordshire Junction Railway give to those towns and districts the most direct route for passengers and goods to and from the Central, North Eastern, and Eastern parts of the Kingdom, and from which those towns have hitherto been excluded by every project of the day. It will convey to the agricultural districts of Herefordshire and South Shtopshire, and also to the towns of Bridgnorth and Ludlow, coals and the mineral productions of Staffordshire, Worcestershire, an I the Clee-hills, at nearly one-half the present cost of those neces sary articles, and be the means of conveyance for corn, cattle, sheep, cider, wool, hops, and other agricultural productions, as also timber from the before-mentioned agricultural counties, to the heart of the mining and manufacturing districts, which cannot fail to produce an Immense traffic. To the towns embraced in this line, the.value of obtaining thereby, at the cheapest rate, coal and the necessaries of life, will be of the utmost importance. One principal feature in this projection is, that as either Ludlow or Rridgnorth will lie in the direct route of obe of the projects to be pro posed to Parliament in the next session, for the most direct commu- ideation between Ireland and the Metropolis, this line will thereby afford to passengers the easist:communication to and from the central parts of the kingdom. It. is satisfactory to the promoters to state, that they have the sanction of the Grand Junction Company, and the co-operation of the Shrewsimryf Wolverhamptoi, and South Staffordshire Junction, and the South Staffordshire Junction Companies, and that no project has been announced in competition with its acknowledged claim on public suoport. The whole line is free from engineering difficulties, and can be con structed at a moderate cost, and has obtained the approval of the landed interest, whose ornamental properties have been strictly protected. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the Company will be under the direction and control of the Committee of Management, who are hereby empowered to enter into such ar rangements as shall best serve the interests of this Corapany and the public, with existing or projected companies, and also to nominate the first directors of the Company. . _ Power will be taken under the Act to limit the responsibility of Shareholders to the amount of their subscription, and to allow four per cent. interest on the calls. Preference MAIM allotment of shares will be given to those locally interested, and to the shareholders of lines in connexion with this: No applications for shares can in any case be attended to, unless reference be made to one ofthe Provisional Committee, the Solicitors, Bankers, or Brokers of the Company.

A Company has been formed or the purpose of making a harbour and docks at DUNGENESS POINT and connecting them by means of a short line with the Tunbridge and Rye Harbour Railway to London. A view of the map will at once show the great national advantage of this harbour as a port of refuge, and the certainty of its becoming the port for the whole of the French and Peninsuisu traffic, being a considerable saving in distance both by land and sea, in comparison with the present routes by Dover and Folkstonc. The merits of this scheme will be best estimated by a reference to the report of the Government Commissioners on the projected har bours of refuge. Prospectuses, with the names of the Co►n►nittee and details of the plan, will be published in a' few days ; meantime all communications may be addressed to William Best, Esq., solicitor, 35, Lincoln's Inn-fields. Preference in the allotment of shares will be given to holders of scrip in the Tunbridge and Rye Harbour Rail way, and the French Companies in connexion with this line.
