At this point there are three passes, which have been inspected, and it remains for the engineer to select one as au entrance or passage into the Vale of the River Dee, when the line will proceed round by Comen into the Vale of the River Alwen, from whence it will run nearly parallel with the great Holyhead Mail-coach-road, by Pentre voelas to Capel Cerrig, it will then descend the Vale of Nant Francon to Bangor and Ilolyhead. This line will in its progress feed, and be also fed by the most consi siderable railroads of the kingdom, particularly those of the Great Western ; the Birmingham, Gloucester, and Bristol ; the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton ; the London and Birmingham ; and the South Staffordshire Railway. As this last line will connect Dudley, Bilston, Wednesbury, Walsall, and Lichfield with the Derby Railway and the Grand Junction Railway, it would be superfluous to expatiate on the advantages of bring ing all those important centres of the coal and iron trade and other traffic, and the vast coal and iron fields of :Shropshire into close intercourse, and thus establishing the cheapest and quickest means of transit between the minerals of Shropshire and the furnaces of Staffordshire, and the markets of Dublin, London, and }Willingham. The success of thelnidertaking 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 and 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 two 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 stra!ght 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 -61, able, power will be taken in the Bill to continue an independent hue by Beaumaris to Holyhead. After 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. I warranted in anticipating a return of at least ten per cent. on 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 ho booked throughout from London to Dublin, including all the inter mediate stations, and be thus enabled to complete the entire distance in ten hours, without the incotwenience so painfully felt of changing from the conveyance of ono 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 of communiation between the sister countries is, by this present undertaking, rendered at once complete and intimate to the last degree. As the leading aim of this Company is t• save time and distance; every attention of the Directors, and every advancement in science wil. be made available to gain the utmost possi►;le 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 both passengers and traffic, and the pnblic will find in the improvement of the inferior carriages, and some aciditi..nal 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 4/. per cent. per a num on the amount of the subscriptions paid up; 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.

This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda and Ely Vaflies, with the South Wales Railway , at a few miles die- ' tance from the Fort of Cardiff; and to open a new mineral district, one of th richest and mt important in South Wales which is at present wi e thout the means of transit for its immense , and valuable products. It will pass through the control portion of the great coal-field of Glamorganshire, where iron-ethos also abounds with the coal ik im mense quantities, and laying, geologically speaking, nearly flat, and, obtainable, for the most part, by proper lavas, The coal in addition to It. being of excellent quality for tree malting, is proved at Mer thyr and Aberdare, is Also, like that a those districts, ef the very best description 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 tar exeeeds 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 Offord a handsome return for the capital Invested, as has been dentonstelgotl in every instance where even traiii=roads or canals have been constrACted Witt to open the mineral reurces of other less promising volutes in eti than the Rhondda, so which is cele brated for the abundance, quality, and facility of obtaining its pro ductions. An inexhaustible *apply of limestone (so neseseary for the manu facture of iron and for agricultural p ur p oses) may 'lv obtained by means of this Railway, much wearer and cheaper than by any Other line. This line will afford to the increasing koptilatlos of the rich vales of Ely and Rhondda a much desired coillniffnineilen with the great market town and port of Cardiff, front whence, et present, they may be said to be almost excluded. It is intended that the line shall commence at Bliten Nhowide, 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 Moat advantageous circumstances as to distance, with all the ports in 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 his de posit, until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount*: his subscription. Until an Aet of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Company shall be under the control of the Managing Directirs, 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 forma tion, and in the preparation of the plans aed sections to be submitted to Parliament. Power will be applied for in the AAA (and in the meantime is hereby given to the Managing Directors as above), to raise any WI. tional capital, to extend or abandon any part of the line, to matte 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 for Shares may be addressed in tile form annexed to, W. B. James, Esq., Solicitor, 5, Basingliall-street, London ; to W. Morgan, Esq., Solicitor, Bridgend, Clamorganshlre ; and to the undermentioned Brokers ; but no application for Shares will receive the attention of the Committee, unless accompanied by a reference to one or more of the Provisional Committee, Solicitors, or the Engineers: — London—Messrs.

This railway will form, as nearly as may be practicable, a direct line from Reading, in Berkshire—one of the ost important and rapidly improving towns in the kingdom—to the large and populous town of Northampton, where it will form a junction with the Northampton and leterborough Railway The line will proceed from the Reading station of the Great Western Railway, and by the way of Henley-on-Thames, Great Marlow, West Wycombe, Aylesbury, and Buckingham, through some of the richest and most fertile districts of England, from whence vast supplies of live stock and agricultural produce are constantly fur nished to the metropolis ; and from Buckingham it will be continued direct to Blisworth and Northampton. From Ellsworth a line proceeds to Wellingborough, and forms a function with the Direct Manchester Railway; and it is intended that a branch shall be formed from West Wycombe to the station at Slough, on the Great Western Railway The proposed line with the branch will be about seventy-five miles in length, and it has been ascertained that it may be constructed I with unusual facility, whilst, by means of the intended junctions with the Groat Western Railway at Slough and Reading, with the London ' and Birmingham Railway et Blisworth, and the Direct Manchester Railway at Wellingborough, an uninterrupted and most desirable railway communication will be opened between Portsmouth, Gos port, the Isle of Wight, Southampton, Bedford, Huntingdon, the Staffordshire Potteries, Birmingham, Derby, Leicester, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle and Berwick, and with the great manu facturing and mining districts of the north of England. The numerous parishes and districts which will be traversed by the line comprise a population of nearly 1,500,000 persons, and passing, as it wig, a p.irtion of the counties of Berks and Oxford, the whole of Buckinghamshire, and by the celebrated Vale of Aylesbury, and uniting with the several completed or projected railways under mentioned, viz.:— The London and Birmingham The Great Western The Southampton Union The South Midland The Midland Counties The Northampton and Leicester The Northampton and Peterborough, and that with The Direct Manchester it cannot be doubted that it must prove extremely convenient and beneficial to the public, and highly advantageous to the proprietors. The liability of the shareholders will be restricted by Act of Par liament to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be ap plied for in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum on all calls, from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line.

The Directors of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway Company, baying completed the whole of their arrange ments, and having been compelled to refuse at least three-fourths of the applications for shares in their line, have had their attention forcibly and repeatedly called to the necessity of a direct communi cation between Salisbury and Swindon, the station on the Great Western Railway, by which the most direct and remunerative cat• flexion will be formed between Southampton and Manchester. The advantages, in point of speed, to be derived from the broad gauge, as al•o the superiority of the gradients obtained by the rout( of the Valey of the Avon, together with the importance of placing the city of Salisbury on the main trnnk line from the north to South ampton, must insure to this undertaking the sanction of the Legis lature and the local support of the towns and districts through which the line will pass. Besides fo• - miag a direct communication with the great manufac turing twits in the north, the Salisbury and Swindon Extension will make a complete line of railway between Southampton, Salisbury, and all parts of North and South Wales. After most mature deliberation, the Directors have resolved to re commend to their shareholders and the public the immediate carry ing out of a railway to effect the above object, which will be most desirable as a completion to their own line, and highly advantageous in a pecuniary sense and on public grounds. They have directed all the necessary surveys to be made, so as to apply. to Parliathent in the ensuing session, at the same time as the Wilts, Somerset, are' Southampton Junction Railway, with a view to the ultimate amal• gamation of both lines under one management. In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to the holders of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway shares, as also to parties locally interested, due regard being at the same time had to public interest; and every original shareholder in that line may, on production of his scrip certificate, receive an allotment of a similar number of Salisbury and Swindon Extension share•. The holders of Great Western, and of Wilts, Somerset, and Wey mouth shares, will also have a preference. Applications may be made, in the following form, to the Proviaioni. Committee, at the Offices of the Company, 26, Gresham-street, the solicitors, the local agents, or to the principal brokers in tows am: country. SOUTH MIuLAND AND NORTH UNION RAILWAY. (Provisionally Registered.) This important line of railway is intended to open a direct commu nication from Staffordshire and the Midland Counties (passing through the Potteries) to the extensive manufacturing town of Sheffield, by means of which it will form the most direct transit for traffic, and the manufactures of all the principal towns, and the agr.cultural and mineral produce of the country contained within its range. The principal object of this railway is, that it will bring the prin cipality of Wales into immediate connexion with the Midland Coun ties, and will form a continuous trunk line from the north-east to the south-west parts of the kingdom. To the capitalist this undertaking presents a highly beneficial source of remunerative profit, and to the population of the south west midland and northern portions of the kingdom most important Advantages. The prospectus, with the names of the Provisional Committee, will be issued in a few days; in the meantime applications for shares in the usual form may be addressed to the Secretary, at the offices of the Company, 23, Finsbury-place North ; or to the solicitor, S.

It commences at the Farnborough station of the South-Westernßell way, crossing the Great Western Rae between Slough and Maiden lievd, and terminates on the Oxford and Rugby line of railway at lievforti, beyond Oxford, on the route to Biriningharn , accommo dating in its course, Bracknell, Sunning-hill, Bagsbot, Ascot, Windsor, Great Marlowdligh 'Wycombe, Princes Itisborough. Theme, liticester, and many other places at present without railway connunuication. It will tiirm the most direct nests from London to Banbury, War wick, and Birmingham, and by the Grand Junction Railway to Man chester, Liverpool, Lancaster, and Carlisle, and by the Caledonian Railway to Glasgow and Edinburgh ; also from Crewe to Chester, Birkenhead, and Holyhead, thus opening the most direct cominnnica u tion with Dublin. It will also by the branch to Wo odsto ck , i u connexion with Cheltenhamthe Cheltenham and Oxford line, form the most direct route Routh to So Wales, Waterford, and the south of Ireland, as well an by th e ().„ ford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line to Worcester, and conse quently to all the central portion of Wales, thus forming the shortest route to all Wales and Ireland. Tile lentil of this line will not exceed 64 miles, and it will save an average distance of 14 miles to each of the, before-m e ntioned places, as compared with the route no w traverse,, by th e Great Restart Railway. It is satisfactory to state that there are no eng i neering difficulties, and that the land is the least valuable of any in the coun ties through which this line is intended to papa, av o i d i ng, as it dons, parks anti ornamental property. To the advantages offered to the above places, b y wring tome fourteen miles in the transits to London, must be added that of con necting them with the South-Western a ii i t i , the Reading a n d ite , gets lines, affording passengers an oliportii oa„f, proceeding to South the metropolis, ampton, Portsmouth, Isle of Tight, Dover, iirighten, a n d all adja. cent places, without the necessity el crier through all part* of England, thereby saving much time and incomi ttcs ee. nearly terially It will be seen from the f iregoing t that the formation of this will iotimcts. line will afford very great advantage Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, as itfacilitate the de livery of their many marketable. products therefore, by opening another and more direct route to London. it 15 1 1 al traffil.reer"rt. too much to ex pect that, independently of a great on this • 1. , there will be also an immense through traffic brought least 10 per cent. on the capital required.

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 Uckfleld to Lewes, and thence joining the Brighton, Lewes, and Hastings Railway to Brighton. An inspection of the map will clearly show the great import ance of this railway, whether considered in a local er national point of view, forming as it will a moat 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 Brighton, 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 project 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 sanctLin 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 branch from Wrotham to Chatham. The liability of the shareholders will be restricted by Act of Parliament to the amount of their subscriptions, anti power will be applied for in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum on 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, Goldeo.square; Messrs. Coombe and Sharland, Town-hall, Graves end ; Messrs. J. and E. Blaker, Lewes ; and also to the following Sharebrokers :—Messrs.

The object of the promoters of this Company is to form a direct line of railway, from Bristol and Bath to Dover ; and thus, in effect. unite, connect, or reciprocate with, all the existing and projected lines of railway in the south and south. west and west of England, as well also as form a complete communication with Ireland and all the western and Welsh railways, and most of those in the northern and great manufacturing districts, by which passengers and goods to and from Folkestone and Dover, France and Belgium, may be conveyed without the necessity of passing through the me. tropolis. Branches will beco la n id str d u o c w ted n b , y if t h h e e re c a o t n te ,p r a c n o y ns w id i e ll red be r c emis m it :. , ra l sbuly t the main line to be leas than 100 miles, throughout which the strongest encouragement and support have been manifested towards this railway by the landed proprietors, many of whom have determined to i nvest capital in the undertaking ; and the engineer's report precludes any appreher,. slon of engineering difficulties the publication, however, of the ex actness of the route is necessarily delayed for a few days, in con sequence of some important negotiations now pending with ano ther Company. The great public utility and commercial advan tages of railway communication between the important places and ports which it is now contemplated to unite must be at once ap. preciated by reference to a map of the country. The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest, at four per cent. per annum, on the amount of deposit and calls from the passing of the A,t until the completion of the line, and the liabity of the shareholders will be limited to the e.asount of their subscription Applications for shares (which must be necessarily restricted in consequence of the immense number that ha-,e already beets applied for under guarantee of persons of the highest respectability) with prospectuses and plans, to be made to the secretary, at the office ansion-hs of Company; to J D.
