F.lll. combs, and Co., 16, Parliament-street The national object of this undertaking is to create a direct and united communication between the eastern and western parts of the kingdom. On reference to a railway map of England, it will at once be seen that Stafford and Crewe, on the Grand Junction and Derby, and Belper, on the Midland Railway, are the centres to which a great number of lines of railway, either already constructed or projected, converge ; and between these four points no railway exists. The West Midland Railway proposes to unite these points In the following way :—By commencing one of its arms at Crewe station, on the Grand Junction Railway, which will run through or near Newcastle-under-Lyne, Bursham, Stoke-upon-Trent, Lane End, and Cheadle, to Uttoxeter, where its other arm from Stafford will meet It and proceed thence, by Ashbourne to a point near the Belper station on the Midland Railway, whore it will take advantage of the pro posed Derby and Gainsborough, Nottingham and Mansfield, and Roston, Newark, and Sheffield Railways ; thus opening a direct com munication between Holyhead and other_parts of North Wales, Cheshire, Staffordshire, and Shropshire,:on the one hand, and Sheffield, Retford, Mansfield, Nottingham, Newark, Xorvrich, and the ports of Gainsborough, Grimsby, Boston, Spalding, Lynn and Yarmouth, on the other. This line will accommodate a very considerable portion of the tragic prooeedieg from the west coast of Scotland, Cumberland, and Lanca shire, into Lincolnshire and the south-eastern parts of the kingdom, and by that portion of the line which Is proposed to ran between Belper and Stafford, and the whole of the traffic from the east coast of Scotland, Northumberland, Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, and other populous northern counties passing to the west and south west, together with the opulent mineral districts of South Wales, will be effectually served. Passing as this line will do, through a densely -populated and ex tensive manufacturing dl *let, it must be viewed, even in its local character, as one of vas:. ..oportance. The mere enumeration of the towns affected by it would suffice to show that the traffic over it will be immense ; but, n addition to this, whet credit is taken for the thorough traffic passing diagonally over the line from south-east to north-west, and from north-east to south-west, as well as for the corn and other agricultural produce from the eastern counties to the manufacturing districts ; and a return carriage of manufactured goods, slates from North Wales, salt trent Cheshire, earthenware from Staffordshire, and iron from Shropshire, for the consumption of the midland counties AS well as for export from the eastern porta of Hull, Grimsby, Boston, Spalding, &c., some adequate idea may be formed of the advantages which the comple ion of this comprehensive scheme will naturally develop. All these objects have been deeply and seriously considered, and deemed of such para mount importance f legal interests, that the fullest and most In fluential supperf co-operatioe have been obtained to effectually carry out and ins .he various objects of this undertakin g. d the Surreys of the-dV Izt have been made with much v care,.ow.. result is highly favourable in an engineering Point c es s a w a i s ll ac g to iv r e y a r j e , r fe ef r e en re c n e ce wil to l parti Th es e Committee in irensttleide,alaliowtmienntanollf satr. rga of t ro , tni a isle t wi th ini e .ti r ,:r at l e in o e 4 0 f r .

SOLICITORS. tion being familiar with mining operations, will be found better qualified for the execution of railway works here than hi many other localities. As a link in the railway network of England, or as auxiliary to existing or projected lines passing in various directions, few schemes hitherto proposed appear to afford greater inducement for investment, or a wider range of accommodation for traffic and travelling. This project constitutes a lengthened link in the chain that will connect Liverpool with Bristol, the grand trunk of the West of England ;—its southern terminus, Worcester, is the half way station of the London and Portdynnllaen broad gauge line : by projtcted lines a direct communication will be afforded west ward to Swansea and Aberystwlth, and, eastward, to Warwick and Northampton, Cambridge, Peterborough, Harwich, Lynn, Lincoln, ani Hull. The line has been repeatedly and careiblly examined by the Com pany's acting engineer, who reports that the rail for many miles may be laid on the natural level—that the gradients are in every in stance favourable—that the geological struct•ae of the districts to be traversed is equally so, and that the want of such a line of com munication is acknowledged by the interests seated on its proposed course. _ Applications for prospectuses and plans may be made, and forms of application for shares had at the offices of Messrs.

Wellington—George Marcy, Esq. Bridgenorth—Edward William Haslewood, Esq. The geographical position of Worcester has caused its adoption as the point where the broad gauge trunk:lines of the west are te have a common terminus. From Oxford the Great Western Company have decided on constructing a line of rail :—anether project under the pa tronage of the same powerful direction is now before the public. uniting Worcester with Warwick ; and, that the broad gauge will be carried from Worcester into Wales, and to the Irish packet stations on that coast, is now no longer doubtful. This undertaking will com plete a series of great avenues of iron-road, whose ramification from Worcester will render every part of the kingdom directly accessible from that city. Passing up the Severn Vale, where it will disclose a succession of picturesque scenes, it reaches Stourport, and proceeding thence through Kidderminster, arrives at Rewdley. This district is one of the chief seats of our carpet manu factures, and in the towns here named, exclusive of the inter►ening districts, upwards of 30,000 persons are located. Leaving Stourbridge a little te the east, the line is taken to Itridgenorth, a town enjoying an active inland trade, and possessing woollen manufactures and iron works, that give employment te a population of about 15,000. Pass ing through or near to Much Wenlock, Broseley, and Madeley, from which place there will be a branch to Shrewsbury, the line ascends Colebrook Dale, and approaching in its course Wellington and Wom enters Whitchurch. From this central place a branch will be formed to Norwich via Stoke, forming a junction with the Liverpool and Crewe Railway. The trunk line will continue from Whitchurcb, and passing through or near Malpas, have its northern terminus in the city of Chester. _ _ _ In estimating the probable amount of revenue which the Worces ter and Chester Railway may be expected to yield, many sources of profit present themselves, such are the dense population located along the length of the Severn Vale, and the enriching works of industry in which they are engaged. Amongst the latter may be mentioned the china manufactories of Worcester, the iron, coal, and earthen ware works at Broseley and other places ; the agricultural produce brought to Stourport market ; the inexhaustible fields of coal and mines of iron ore in the vicinity of Colebrook Dale, Ironbridge, and the districts to the east of Shrewsbury generally. In calculating the cost of construction unusual advantages are also obvious. The line traverses a district affording levels of several miles in extent, and with a surface peculiarly favourable. The resi dent population, disappointed by the postponement of promised pro have wa rmly espoused the present, and the labouring popula- ~.~ N OTTINGHAM, BIRMINGHAM, AND COVENTRY RAILWAY.

This lino will commence at the Long Eaton station of th• Midland Counties Railway, and will proceed in a direct line to or near Castle I)onington, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Measham, and Market Bosworth to Nuneaton ; joining, at Market Bosworth, the Birmingham branch, projected by the Tamworth and Leicester Company, and at Nuneaton, the projected Coventry, Nuneaton, Birmingham, and Leicester Railway, at the point where that line crosses the Trent Valley line. Thus a direct communication will be formed between the important towns of Nottingham, Newark, and Lincoln on the one side, and Birmingham, Coventry, and Warwick on the other side, at the same time a rich mineral and agricultural district will be supplied with railway advantages. A reference to the map will show that this railway will also *ow mand other collateral advantages. There is no doubt that the proposed railway communication be tween Cheltenham and Warwick will be effected, in which case the proposed line will fill up the railway chasm at present existing be tween the counties of Gloucester and Worcester, and Nottingham and Lincoln, and thus form a direct line from the Severn at Glouces ter to the Humber at Great Grimsby. An amalgamation of the Great Grimsby and Sheffield Junction with the Grhasby Dock Company being now determined on, a large amount of capital will be expended in rendering Great Grimsby a port of the first importance ; and bt must be obvious that the traffic to that port, from the district south west of Warwick, will be very great. The distance saved by the proposed line between Leamington, Warwick, Coventry, and Nottingham will be about twenty miles ; and between Birmingham and Nottingham, the saving will be about six miles. Being the shortest route from Birmingham to Not tingham and Lincoln, it must secure the traffic from Birmingham to Nottingham, Newark, Lincoln, and the port of Great Grimsby; and by joining with the Erowash Valley Railway at Long Baton, it must command the traffic from Coventry, Warwick, and the district soath of those towns to Sheffield, Leeds, York, and the north of England generally. It will also afford a direct communication between Not tingham and the district between Warwick and Worcester, by means of the projected Worcester, Warwick, and Rugby, and the Warwick and Worcester Railways. The entire length of the line will be about 21 miles. The Com pany's Engineer has completed his preliminary survey, and has made his report, that the character of the country through which the line is intended to pass is unusually favourable for engineering purposes. It passes directly through a very productive mineral district, in tersecting the Leicestershire coal-fields and lime-works, and will afford communication north and south, to the Derbyshire Potteries. With such an assured immediate and prospeotive amount of traffic, the profits en the small capital required cannot fall to be highly re. m unerative. Powers for allowance of interest at four per cent. on the paid-up capital will be taken, and the liability of shareholders limited to the amount of their subscriptions. TABLE OF DISTAN ICES.

The first line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the Loughborough station on the Midland Counties line, and pro ceed through the Vale of Sheepshead, to Pegs Green Colliery, near to the terminus of the Leicester and Swannington Rail wag, and fora thence through the coal-fields of Swannington and Cole-Orton to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. It will thence proceed across the Moira Coal-field and through the rich agricultural districts of Clifton whiche a mPville, and Edingale, to the Birmingham and Derby it will cross near to Elford Park Farm, and thence traverse the Valley of the Tame until it reaches Alrewas, where it will form a junction with the branch of the Trent Valley line now in Seal • Railway,Clift progress of making. At this point it also meets the proposed South Staffordshire line, by which means it reaches Lichfield, and by means of one of the proposed lines it will afford communication with Bir mingham. From Loughborough the line will be further continued to A sfordby on the Syston and Peterborough Railway, now in progress. and by means of this latter line, a direct intercourse will be opened with Melton Mowbray and the various towns through which that route passes to Peterborough. By means of its junction with the Trent Valley line at Alrewas, the Grand Trunk reaches Colwich, and there meets the proposed North Staffordshire line, which proceeds through the heart of the Potteries to Newcastle-under-Lyrae, Leek, and Macclesfield. By means also of the same Trent Valley line at Alrewas the Grand Trunk pro ceeds through Rugeley to Stafford, thus completing its route, and forming a connecting line between the Midland and Grand Junction Railways. This branch of the line was formerly surveyed by Mr. Itastrick, and approved of by him as a canal communication, so that no engineering difficulties exist. The second line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the Derby station, and taking the course of the Derby Canal proceed to Chellaston, where there are extensive plaster-works, and thence by Swarkestone to the river Trent, which it will cross near to the' ferry at Weston Cliffe, and so proceed to Kings Newton and Melbourne. From the latter place it will pass by the village of Wilson to Breedon-on-the-Ilill, where there are extensive lime-works, and thence proceed by Staunton Harold, communicat ing by a branch line with the lead, lime, and coal works there ; thence by the Lount Colliery to Worthington Rough, where it will follow the line of the Cole-Orton and Swannington Railway until its junction with the first line of the Grand Trunk at or near the Pegs Green Colliery, and so proceed from thence to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. At Ashby-de-la-Zouch the Grand Trunk forms a junction with the proposed Nottingham and Birmingham, and with the proposed Great Manchester, Rugby, and Southampton Railways. Its importance as a line for passengers is too obvious for comment, forming as it does a complete junction between those two great thoroughfares, the Mid land and Grand Junction Railways, and by its branch from Derby to Ashby-de-la-Zouch another complete junction between the Great Northein and Southern lines now in progress. thus opening a direct line of communication to all parts of the kingdom. As a line for traffic, the Grand Trunk will form the most direct transit to the Leicestershire, Staffordshire, and Shropshire iron and coal fields, to the Burton breweries, to North and South Wales, and Ireland to Scotland, and all parts of the north, and to the eastern, southern, and western parts of the empire. It will also be the nearest and most direct communication from the east to the north_ western manufacturing distriets, as well as become the great route from all parts of the kingdom to the midland counties of England. The mineral resources are of the very highest order. The Moira coal-field is inexhaustible, whilst the coal-beds at Staunton Harold alone comprise the finest quality of Kennel to a depth of seven feet, with a super stratum of main coal to a depth of six feet. The sub stratum is yet to be worked. There are beds of Kennel and main coal at Cole Orton of equal quality, though net of equal depth with those of Staunton Harold, whilst the main coal at Swannington is un rivalled, being, in fact, the bowl of the Leicestershire and Derbyshire coal strata. It is needless to describe the beneficial results which must arise from this opening of the midland coal district to the Lon don and southern markets. At Staunton Harold and Calke exist rich veins of lead ore, new in full course of working. The properties of the Breedon, Staunton Harold, and Ticknall lime are so well known to agriculturists and others, that an extension of traffic for so valuable a commodity into in )re remote districts must be of the utmost importance to the practical farmer. In approaching the Trent, on leaving the lime district, the Grand Trunk will fall in with most valuable q u arries of millstone grit, ser viceable for paving and bui l ding p ur poses , and for w hi c h a rea d y market would be found along the line. The country also abounds in gypsum, of which immense quantities are used in Birming ham and elsewhere : these markets will thus become opened for the quarries at Chellaston. A new and extensive outlet will also be opened for the earthenware of Wooden Box and Griesley Potteries. Until the Act of Parliament be obtained, the affairs will be under the control of the Committee of Management, to whom power is given to allot the shares and apply the funds of the Company in payment of all proper expenses in the formation of the Company and otherwise. Power will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime the Committee of Management take power, to alter or extend the lines, to make branch lines, to abandon any part of the a line, to raise addi tional capital, and to enter into arrangement, _i.

This important line will commence at Brighton, and (passing through or contiguous to the towns of Steyning, Petworth, Mid hurst, Petersfleld and Alresford) williloin at the Andover Road sta tion of the South-Western Railway, the proposed Southampton, Manchester and Oxford Junction. A negotiation has been entered into with the latter Company, and it is proposed by means of their projected line, that the Brighton and Cheltenham Railway shall proceed through Hunger ford to Swindon. From Peterstield a short branch will be made to Chichester, where, nearly at the same point of juneUon, the London and Ports mouth direct will intersect the line in its way to Portsmouth. From Swindon it is proposed to proceed by the Manchester and Southampton Railway to Chelt nham, and the North of England by the Derbyshire, Worcestershire and Staffordshire Junction, or other existing and contemplated lines. On reference to the map, it will be seen that the primary object to be obtained by the formation of this line will be the immediate connexion of the northern, western, and the whole of the manufac turing counties; and North and South Wales, with the southern coast and the populous and fashionable towns of Brighton, Ilastings, and Doyen It is unnecessary to observe on the daily increasing trafile between Brighton and Dieppe, which the railroad from the latter place to Rouen, and thence to Paris, must greatly augment; thus, by means of the projected line, a direct communication with France, either from Brighton or Dover, will be opened with the northern counties of England. It I; obvious that with these advantages the traffic must neces sarily be large, !the line passing through the centre of Sussex, con taining a population of about 300,000, at present almost devoid of railway accommodation. Power will be applied for in the Act to increase the capital, if necessary, to alter the line, or to make such deviations or branches therefrom as may be deemed necessary also for the purposes of amal gamation with other Companies, should the same be found desirable. The Company reserves to itself the option of adopting the broad or narrow gauge, or the principle of atmospheric traction, if preferable. No further call beyond the deposit will be made until the Act shall be obtained. In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to parties locally interested, and to the shareholders in the lines with which this Company will be connected.

The importance of connecting remote parts of Ei.gland by Rail- Ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns and districts, can - scarcely be be'ter exeraklified than by the Line which is row proposed to forma short and direct channel of inter course between Oxford anal Salisbury. Numerous projected lines now before the public will make Oxford at the north, and Salisbury at the south of the intended Railroad the central points from which various radii will di verge to thenorth -west, north, and north-east of the former, and to the east, south, and west of the latter; and the proposed Line from Cambridge to Oxford, continuing to that city the coarse of Railway from the north-eastern parts of the island, requires the appliance now suggested to effect a complete means of transit to the western and south-western counties. The Oxford and Yalisbury Direst Railway, in addition to the benefits which will be conferred upon the nation at large, by preferring a direct line of coruntungcatiou Tw tween the north-eastern and western and south-western parts of England, will atrord to the borouelt of ♦bingdon, the market towns of Wantage, Hungerford, and Ludgershall, and the adjacent T 111 ag es, an important railway accommodation, of which the agricultural districts in which they are seated stand in much need, and will provide a facility for the interchange of produce be tween the rural, manufacturing, and commercial population of the kingdom. The want of railway accommodation has long been felt to press unfairly upon the inhabitants of the important and thriving town •f Abingdon. Their means and opportunities of competing with the more fortunate traders of those towns which are already provided with di rect channels of transit, are thus severely crippled. The same remark applies in some degree to the market town of Wantage, which, as well as Ilungerford and Ltulgershall, claims a share of the profits and advantages produced by railway traffic. It has therefore been determined to commenee the proposedli ne at Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdon to the station of the Great Western Railway at Steventon, thus giving to Abingdon a direct rail road to London. By continuing the projected railway to Wantage, the sane facility of transit to London will be afforded to that place; and a perfect line of road from the north-eastern counties will, by a junc tion with the projection from Cambridge to Oxford, be produced, through the towns which have been named, Flungenord and Ludgers • hall to Salisbury, and thence to the south and western ports and dis tricts. A map of the line, and a statistical report of the whole country intended to be traversed, is in course of preparation, and with the names of an influential provisional Committee, will very shortly be published. In the meantime, farther information may be ob tained from Messrs. Elmslie and Preston, 47, Moorgate-street, London, solicitors to the undertaking, to whom, at present, applies Von for shares nay be made.

O 0 IS This Company is formed for making a railway from Liverpool to Derby, and will, in conjunction with the Manchester and Rugby Direct, and London and Birmingham Railways, form the nearest route from Liverpool to London. It will commence at Liverpool, and proceed along the Liverpool and Manehester Railway to within a importance of the Whiston Inclined Plane, and thence branch off, in a south-easterly direction, through 'Warrington, Rnutsford, and Congleton to Leek (there joining the Manchester and Rugby Rail way), and from thence through Ashbourne to Derby. The whole length of the proposed line will be about sixty-six miles. It will be seen by reference to the map that this important line of railway will form the shortest route from Liverpool to London and effect a direct chain of communication between Liverpool and Derby, and will thence, by means of the Midlands and other railways, open an unin terrupted route to the more eastern counties, and afford a complete midland communication between the eastern and western parts of the kingdom and the important intermediate manufacturing districts. The most important feature in this railway is that it forms the shortest road from Liverpool to London. The distance by it, with the Manchester anti Rugby, and London and Birmingham, will be only 188 miles, whereas by the present route it is 210 miles, and by the Trent Valley Railway 200% miles ; effecting a saving of 22 miles in one instance, and 1234 miles in the other. And as regards Liverpool and Derby, the whole distance between Liverpool and Derby will be reduced by this line to about 74 miles, thus decreasing the distance by any present existing railway, at least 46 miles; an advantage which carries in itself the conviction of the necessity there is for the proposed railway, in order to eonnect more immediately two such important towns, especially when these towns are.but the foci, as it were, for other railways from still more distant localities, as before adverted to. The distance also from Manchester to Leek (where the proposed railway will unite with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) will be about 30 miles, and from Leek to Derby about 26% miles, making the whole distance from Manchester to Derby only 56% miles ; and thus diminishing the distance by any present communi cation between those important towns by about 28 miles, an object most desirable to be attained, and of itself quite sufficient to recom mend a line of railway embracing such beneficial results. 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 47% miles; from Leek to Rugby, according to the line as proposed by the Man chester and Rugby Direct Railway, 58 miles, and from Rugby to London 83 miles; thus making the whole distance from Liverpool to London 188% miles, instead of 210, by the present route. With regard to the traffic and - otiter details connected with the working of the line, it seems 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. There are no engineering difficulties connected with the forming of the line. The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share holders beyond the deposit now paid until the Act of Parliament nt is obtained, and power will be taken i n the Act to allow 41. per ce interest on all calls.
