Assuming the northern terminus of the Erewash Railway as its origin, this line will pass through localities totally un provided with railway accommodation, into the populous ma nufacturing districts of Lancashire. It will continue the important line from which it borrows the prefix of its name, from Aifreton, in Derbyshire, where it will be a recipient of traffic from the Cromford Canal—communicating with the Codnor ironworks —along the Dinting Vale, and, obeying the course of the river Derwent, enter Yorkshire, in the vicinity of Saddleworth. In its course, it will pass through or near to Matlock, Ashbourne, Glos sop, Mottram, Hyfield, and Duckenfleld, in reaching which point, the Manchester and Sheffield Railway will be intersected, and the Hud dersfield Canal Railway passed, near to the Rochdale station of the Manchester and Leeds Railway. It is unnecessary to state here the character of the country from Rochdale to Blackburn : it will be sufficient to observe, that it is the seat of those manufactures to which England owes her accumulating wealth. The line will proceed thence through or near to Whitworth and Rossendale, and fall into th• East Lancashire Railway, in the ♦icinity of Haslingden. A branch will be thrown out of the trunk line, from the Junction with the East Lancashire line near Hasliugden, by Low-Moor iron works and Bacup, to Todmorden. . _ The Erewash r ixtension will be the only direct route from the centre of Derbyshire to the great manufacturing towns and chief seaports of Lancashire. It will traverse a valley district adorned with the most picturesque scenery, and, at the same time, rich in mineral produce. It will communicate, laterally, with several trunk lines of railway, and will be fed by no less than five working canals— the Cromford—the Manchester and Shcflield—the Huddersfield—the Manchester and Leeds—and the Liverpool and Blackburn. To the multiplication of advantages which intersecting railways and lines of still-water navigation are compelled to afford, the throw ing out of branches from the line itself in so many directions will add still further powers of accommodation, and, when the dense popu'a tion in the localities traversed is considered, there is every reason to, conclude that an ample remuneration far vested capital will be obi Islay& Wit: the tan Of Mitt "Not e la this tasteacf, 411 is with the exact direction of the projected line, highly favourable gra dients are obtained for a considerable pat of the length; and every other section of the country, upon a preliminary survey, has been reported as more than commonly practicable. While the return for capital cannot be questioned, and the necessities of the district de mand accommodation, the expenditure must necessarily fall below the Tisutil amount for works of equal magnitude. To identify this project with. that of the Erewash Valley, although not included under, or belonging to the same executive, it is pro posed to allow subscribers in that Company shares in the Erewash Extension : the number to be regulated by the interest retained in the elder project. The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the Share holders beyond the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament is obtained ; -and power will be taken in the Act to allow 4 per cent. in terest upon all calls.

This line will pass in a direct course from Tunbridge, via Paddock Wood (thus connecting itself with Maidstone) through the parishes of Brenehley, Horsmonden, Goudhurst, Cranbrook, Benenden, Hawkhurst, Sandhurst, Rolvenden, Newenden, Northiam, Peas mai sit, Beckley, Iden, and Playden, to the town and harbour of Rye, and it will embrace a large extent of adjacent country, at pre sent unprovided with, and much requiring, the admitted advantages of railway transit. The length of the line will be about 25 miles—a great portion of it will pass through a level country, and the remaining part is free from any mati:rial engineering difficulty, or works likely to require any serious outlay, and it Is not expected to be necessary to interfere with any residences or ornamental property. The saving of distance to Rye, and all the other places embraced by this line,will be considerable. The capital required is estimated not to exceed 500,0001. During the last session of Parliament application was made for a similar Hue, partially embracing the same country, when it was shown in detail by evidence produced before the Conimittee, that the contemplated traffic, atter deencting 401. per cent. for working ex penses, would leave a large per centavo upon the invested capital. That line was rejected on the ground that the best direction had not been selected, but with an intimation that the port of Rye was en titled to a direct railway communication with the interior of the country, in the best direction towards London. The present scheme has been based upon this intimation, taking advantage of the merits and defects which appeared upon that investigation, and as it em braces a more populous and productive country, and passes in a more direct line to London, and will have the benefit of better access to other and more numerous lines, the sources of traffic are consider ably increased, and there is every reason to believe, from what passed during the last session, that the present plan will be favourably enter tained by the Legislature. The chief object is to open the port of Rye to the full benefit of a railway communication, through a populous and productive district, in the direction of London, to the best point et which it can avail itself of tile existing and contemplated lines. The imports of Rye, particularly coals, with lime and other ma nures, are of great importance to the country through which this line will pass, and a cheaper and better mode of transit will much increase the demand for them, and give the opportunity of great improvement in the cultivation of the adjacent country. A railway through the heart of the chief hop district of the king dom, also producing corn, timber, and hop poles, and communicating at its terminus with a great part of the important cattle district of Romney Marsh, must be a public advantage. The port ofßye is admitted to be the best outlet and quickest route to Paris and to other parts of the Continent, and there eau be no doubt if a direct railway should be made to Rye, with a moderate improve ment in the harbour, that it would be much adopted, particularly as a national and commercial communication with France, and by per sons travelling on business.

The importauce of connecting remote parts of England by rail ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns in the that eity the to and districts, can scarcely be better exemplified than by the line g which is now proposed to form a short and direct c hannel o f inter course between Oxford and Salisbury. Numerous projected lines now before the OCAS will make Oxford at th e Korth, and Salisbury at the south of the intended railroad , th e central p oi nts from which various radii will diverge to the north - we st, north, and north-east of the former, and to the south and w est of th e latter • and the _ e o as af t eLd n , p e ar on t t s in o u r island, requires course e ese o ci f r li a n t e lw fr ay om fr C o r t h h r e id a ge ort t: the appliance now suggested to effect a complete meals of transit to the western and south-western counties. The Oxford and Ntlisbury Direct Railway, in addition to the benefits which will be conferred upon the nation at large, by perfecting a direct line of commun'eatioa be tween the north-eastern and western and south-western parts of England, will afford to the borough of Abingdon, the market towns of Wantage, ilungerford, and Ludgorshall, and the adjacent villages, 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. twee* the rural, manufacturing, and commercial population of the kingdom. The projected line will bring the Cathed ral City of Salis bury into immediate connexion with the City and Uni vers it y of Oxford, combining also the advantage of a direct communication with the sister University of Cambridge ; thus btrengthenin s the ecclesiastical and academical relations of citi e shle, whist the com mercial prosperity of the two terminal nmst of necessity be essentially enhanced. The want of railway accommodation has long been felt to press unfairly upon the inhabitants of the important and thriving town of Abingdon. Their means and opportunities of competing with tho more fortunate traders of those towns which are already provided with di rect channels of transit, are thus severely crippled. The same remar k applies in some degree to the market town of Wayta ge , which, as well as HangerfOrd and Ludgershall, claim a share of th e profits and advantages produced by railway traffic:. s It has therefore been determined to commence the proposed line 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 Continaing the projected railway to 'Wantage, the same facility of transit to London will be afforded to that place; and a perfect line of road item the north-eastern counties will, by a Junc tion with the projection trent Cambridge to Oxford, he produced, through the towns which have been named, llungerford and Ludgers ' hall, to Salisbury, and thence to the south and western ports and die.

The object of this railway is to afford to the inhabitants residing within a circle of about ten m les south of the Thames the means wf a safe, frequent, and speedy communication with the heart of the City. It is proposed to have a central terminus in Queen-street, Cheap side, with a direct line of railway over Southwark-bridge to the Ele phant and Castle, and thence by radiating branches to accommodate the localities of Kennington, Brixton, Streatham, Croydon, Clap ham, llalham, Tooting, Mitcham, Walworth, Camberwell, Peckham, Dulwich, Norwood, the Kent-road, Deptford, Greenwich, Black heath, Charlton, Woolwich, Wandsworth, Putney, Mortlake, and. Itichmon.., completing the chain of cemmunicaron with the South- Western at Wandsworth, and with the London and Brighton and South-Eastern lac at Croydon. It is needless to point out in this preliminary announcement the enormous passenger traffic which may be expected on this railway, when it is considered that the portion of the suburbs to which ac commodation is to be afforded contain a population -of between seven and eight hundred thousand persons, requiring daily inter course with the City. As this line will be constructed upon the atmospheric principle, and the present public roads will be adopted as far as practicable, the cost will not bear comparison with that of railways in general, and it is estimated that it will pay to the shareholders of the under takiag a remunerating profit of not less than 10 per cent., even reckoning tile conveyance of passengers at the low rates of from 3d. to 6d. for the whole, or any part of the distance, to say nothing of the enormous traffic in parcels and goods. A detailed prospectus, with the names of a very influential Com mittee, and other officers, will appear in a few days.

A Company is now in course of formation, supported by the most influential local Proprietors, for the construction of a railway from Newry to the t.wn of Castlelelaney, in the county of Monaghan, where it will form a junction with the Durdalk and Enniskillen Railway, thereby affording the most direct railway communication from the west and south-west of Ireland with the ports of Newry, and by means of the Newry,,Warrenpoint, and Rostrevor Railway, witd Liverpool. It is at present in contemplation to adopt the At mospheric principle. Prospectuses, with the names of a highly influential London Com mittee, will be issued in a few days. 4, Coleman-street, London. „Qct. 3, .1845. , PROSPECTUS. Commencing at Cambridge, which has now become the traffic centre of the Eastern Counties, by the line of railway intended to be termed by that Company, this line will proceed to Bedford, there passing near Olney it will cross at or rear the Blisworth Station of the London and Alriningham ItailwAy, where it will communicate with the Northampton and Peterborough line; it will then proceed west ward. crossing the Oxford and Rugby line at or near Fenny-Compton to Stratford-on-Avon, there joining the proposed line from Warwick and Leamington to Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the West of England ; continuing its course through Alcester, the line will go di rect to Worcester, and thus terminate at the great centre of traffic for the mineral and manufacturing districts of South Staffordshire, Shropshire, and North and South Wales. This proposed line d•ea not interfere with any existing railways, and presenting, as it dons, an unbroken line between two great centres of traffic, the importance of the undertaking needs no further comment. Negotiations have been entered into with the Eastern Comi ties Railway Company, by which their support and co-operation will be ensured for obtaining the line now proposed. An arrangement has also been made with the proposed Rugby, Warwick, and Worcester Company, which this line will join at Al cester, and by means of which the Eastern Counties' traffic will pro ceed to Worcester. Power will be reserved to the Directors to amalgamate with any other existing or projecting Companies, or to vary the line.

The-importance of connecting two such towns as Uxbridge and Brentford with Kingston, Croydon, and Epsom, three of the largest market-towns in Surrey, between which the present agricultural traffic is extensive, is too obvious to require comment. A glance at the map will at once show-that the communieation now proposed is not only Judicious, but, in order to satisfy the requirements of the important and populous district involved, is actually imperative. It wili afford h to Uxbridge and the towns in Hertfordshire north of it, with whic it wig be connected by proposed new lines, direct transit to the Great ' Western, .'.Southamptos, and Portemouth Rallwaye, and by the 1 t'S ' ablished linos, the"SOnthard, to Shoreham, Brighton, Davar, Runge% and all .50041 and etintl o ,-SSltort lIIIS et 11M /_= -/z--‘ 9 " igdom, avoiding the lose of time and great inconvenience of going 'lid by the metropolis. So also as to Brentferd, Hounslow, nig- ,n, and Epsom—it will afford to them access to the Great Western, ndou and Birmingham. and Northern and Eastern linos; and by is line, in connexion with one proposed to Hounslow from the - )polis, and the other proposed and established lines nor south It, easy access will be afforded - to 1 , Epsom, and ier favourite places of resort. There can be no doubt, therefore, ,fiat the passenger traffic alone will be sufficient to pay a very large dividend on the outlay. The average number of persons visiting llampton-court in the summer months amounts to about 18,000 per week. The supply by the county of Kent and western division of Middle sex of the north and north-western markets with fruit during the season, would, by this line, be immensely increased, and form another source of income to the Company. This undertaking presents the additional and important advantage of competing with no line at present established ; on the contrary, it will be the means of connecting and feeding the several lines enu merated, and several others that are projected ; and the engineer reports that it passes over a particularly easy country, and will be capable of construction at about 16,0001. per mile ; and the land owners on the line who have been seen, are favourable to the un dertaking. The length of the line will be about 18 miles. Application for shares must be made in the annexed form, to the solicitors of the Company, Messrs. Watts; Galsworthy, and Galswort by, to whorh also all communications from parties locally interested should be addressed, at their offices, No. 19, Ely-place, Holborn ; also to the following local solicitors, Henry Norton, Esq., Uxbridge ; C.
