The shareholders of the South Midland Railway Company are In- formed that arrangements have been made by the Committee of Management with the Board of Directors of the Midland Railway Company for carrying out the original South Midland line with the important additions of a line to Bedford and a branch to Huntingdon, the whole being consolidated in one undertaking, and placed under the management of a joint Board of Direction composed of members of the Boards of the two Companies. xoli.thAamdiprectont , li b n e e in fr g om he L o e r i i c g e i s n t a e l r s b o y ut w h a m y The objects, therefor e , em b raced by the present undertaking are— dolfa Market Harborotigh to 2. A line diverging therefrom at Market Harborough, and passing by way of Kettering to Bedford ; and 3. A branch from the last-mentioned line, at or near Kettering, to Huntingdon. The capital at present belonging to the South Midland Company THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING OCTOBER 8, 1845 co-operate with the North London Junction Railway C om yany, a. the perfection of a project of no ordinary magnitude and importance will be realised throughout the whole of this short but very valuab:e ltr.?, of railway. • A. lithographic sketch new publishing will accurately define the entire district throLgh which this Company proposes to run this line; 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 in.mediate communication with the City ; while the dense popu lation of the City will enjoy a faci•ity of connexion with its suburban localities, necessarily affording it the greatest accommodation. With such important local resources, therefore, together with the vait 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 calltal. That revenue will be derived thus : he daily passenger traffic on the Great Western amounts to 3," 15, one-half of which reaches the City. The London and 4ham amounts to 4,322 daily, two-thirds of which reach the C.ty. The Eastem Counties amounts to 2,400 persons daily, half of whom pass to the West-end of London. The omnibus traffic daily is 33,894 passengers, two-thirds of which may be given to the City. Paisengars from the suburban districts reaching the City, now un a by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily. irom these sources the following products are derived:— Per Ann. 12,06 iwiU form a portion of the consolidated capital (the remainder being contributed by the Midland Railway Company), and in order to com ply with the Standing Orders of the House of Lords, as recently altered, it is necessary that the deposit of 11. 2s. already paid on the South Midland shares should be increased to 2/. 2s.

The distance also tram 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% u l n as , 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 emlunction 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 tram Liverpool to London 188)4 miles, instead of 210, by the present route. With regard to the traffic and other 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.

This undertaking it projected by influential local interests to supply the requirements of the above important district; and a reference to the map will show that it will also complete the communication be tween York, Leeds, and the intermediate towns in the most direct course with London. The surveys have been made by Sir John Mac neill and James 'Thompson, Esq., and the country is found to be fa vourable to the construction of a railway ; and there is, perhaps, no line of such importance which could be constructed at comparatively so small an expense as the sum named in the estimate. The length of the line will be but about thirty-nine miles ; and by means of this short link, in connexion with existing projects from Nottingham, a saving will be effected between Leeds and the metro polis exceeding twenty-five miles. It will commence at the projected terminus of the Wakefield, Pon tefract, and Goole Railway, at Pontefract, and from thence proceed through Doncaster, Tickhill, and Worksop, to the terminus of the Nottibghatn, Mansfield, and Midland Counties Railway, at Mansfield ; thereby completing, by means of the York and North Midland Rail way, the shortest route from York to Nottingham and London. It will also, by the proposed extension line of the Wakefield, Pontefract and Goole, from the York and North Midland, pear Methley, form the nearest line between Leeds, Nottingham, the Midland and South ern Counties, and by the Goole and Doncaster line, an uninterrupted communication with Goole and the shipping ports of the Humber. It will also form a means of communication with the several!' ro jected lines, to the rising port of Great Grimsby. It is a remarkable feature in this line, that there is no competing scheme, nor does it at all interfere with any ornamental or residen tial property. It is not considered essential to enter into the details of traffic ; the value of the lines In the district, in that respect, is a sufficient test of its extent, in addition townie'', the railway will become the recipient of much of the northern traffic, arising from the numerous branches with which it :is connected, and must also become the Grand Trunk Line to London from the Western part of Yorkshire. By the Subscribers' Agreement, authority will be given to the Di rectors to euter into such arrangements with existing Companies as may tippet& to-thenvexpedient, A preference will be given in the allotniehtto.tha shareholders in the adjacent lines, which fact, with particulars, must be stated in their applications.

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