Watts, Galsworthy, and Galsworthy, 19, Ely , place, Holborn SECRETARY--Samuel Stanway, Esq. 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 way, and from 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 Seal, Clifton Campville, and Edingale, to the Birmingham and Derby Railway, which 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 new in 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 farther continued to Asfordby, 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-Lyne, 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. Rastrick, 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-Hill, 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-Orlon and Swannington Railway entll 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 Northern and Southern lines now' in progress, thus °peeing 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 tile north, and to the eastern, southern, and western parts of the empire. It will also be the nearest and most direct communication from the cast to the north western manufacturing districts, as well as become the great route from all parts of the kingdom to tile midland counties of England. Ths mineral resources are of the very highest order. Tho 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 not 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 fl'orn this opening of the midland coal district to tile Lon don and southern markets. At Staunton Harold and Calker exist rich veins of lead ore, now In full course of working. The properties of the Breedon, Staunton Narold, and Ticknall lime are so well known to agriculturists and others, that an extension of traffic for so valuable a commodity into m )re remote districts must be of the utmost importance to the practical farmer. In approaching tile Trent, on leaving the lime district, the Grand Trunk will fall in with most valuable quarries of millstone grit, ser viceable for paving and building purposes, and for which a ready market would be found along the line. The country also abounds in gypsum, of which immense quantities aro used in Birming ham and elsewhere : these markets will thus become opened for the quarries at Chellaston. Anew 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 ender 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 line, to raise addi tional capital, and to enter into arrangements with any other Com pany or Campanies.

ENGINEER. - This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda and Ely Vallies, with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles dis tance 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 Glamorganshire, where iron-stone also abounds with the coal in im mense quantities, and laying, geologically speaking, nearly flat, and, obtainable, for the most part, by proper levels. The coal in addition to its being of excellent quality for iron snaking, as is proved at Mer thyr and Aberdeen, is also, like that of those districts, of 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 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 traffle alone will afford a handsome return for the capital invested, as has been demonstrated in every instance where even tram-roads or canals have been constructed to open the mineral resources of other less promising vallies in 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 mane-' facture of iron and for agricultural purposes) may be 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 of Ely and Rhondda a much desired Communication with the great market town 6nd port of Cardiff, from whence, at present, they may be said to be Almost excluded. It is intended that Um line shall commence at Bison 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 itirther 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 lx en 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 untor 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 of his subscription. Until an AQt of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Co - npany shall be under the control of the Managing Directors, to whom power is given to allot the Mans, and to apply the funds of ihe 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 Act (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 Ines, 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.

The above proposed railway will form the shortest and most direct route from London - to Manchester, and will, therefore, complete the direct communication with the metropolis at a much less expenditure of capital than by either of the projected London and Manchester lines (Remington's and Ashurst's), the actual distance to be con structed being only seventy-three,insteadof one-hundred and seventy to one-hundred and eighty miles. A careful preliminary survey has determined the promoters of this railway to adopt nearly a straight line from Rugby to Macclesfield, as an increased expenditure of 200,0001. or 300,0001. judiciously ap• plied, in the present perfected state of the science of civil engin , °rine:, and at the reduced cost of the execution of earthworks, will prove in the end a far greater real economy, both to the Company itself, in the saving effected in the annual expense of working, and also, what is of more importance to the country in general, by accon.plishing, at a much less cost, the same end proposed, by an entire and distinct line from London to Manchester. These considerations have not been sufficiently kept in view by other parties who have also proposed to make a railway from Rugby to Macclesfield, but who, by deviating from the direct tract to pur sue valleys, and to avoid the irregularities of the face of the country, obviously lose the advantages proposed by this Company. The Parliamentary decision on the choice of the London and Brighton Railway is a parallel case; the direct line, although pre senting more difficulties to overcome, and involving a greateroutlay, having been adopted by Parliament in preference to the many com peting projects in a more or less sinuous direction, which were at that time supported in the House by very influential parties. Should it be found necessary, arrangements have been made by which additional lines of rails will be laid between Rugby and Lon don, on the London and Binningr.am Railway, whereby the surplus traffic northwards will be abundantly provided for. This line also possesses the singular advantage of affording the shortest and most direct route from Manchester to Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth, a feature presented by no other proposed railway. By adopting the Rugby and Oxford branch of the Great Western as far as Didcot, and thence the proposed Oxford, South ampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth line, the distance from Man chester to Southampton will be twenty-three miles less than by any other route, and on this account the project has been warmly sup ported by the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth Rail way Company. The deviations from a perfectly straight line between Rugby and 3facclesfield to avoid high ranges of hills, ornamental parks, or valuable buildings, are very slight, and the line in general offers no , engineering difficulties of any magnitude. Tire towns more directly interested as a local line are Nuneaton, Hinckley, Atherstone, Market Bosworth, Burton-upon-Trent, Tutbury, Ashbournc, and Leek. g Wm. Hughes Hughes, Esq., A 1.., .., derman 4 George Adam, Esq. The Company has `made arrangements with the North London Junction Railway Company, whereby it has secured the use of their station (of the extent of six acres), in the centre of the city of Lon don, at the bottom of Moorgate-street, which will prove of the ut most importance to this line. Amidst the many railway projects that now occupy the public mixd and involve a vast outlay of capital, it will readily be conced e d that a line that will attain such important results at so small an out lay of capital, and the time required for its construction, and without ,interfering with any existing vested interests, must meetwith general approbation, and at the same time offer a very excellent investment for capital. The shareholders in the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Ports mouth, in the London and Birmingham, and in the Manchester and Birmingham Railways, will have a preference in the allotment of shares. The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the sharehold ers beyod the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament is oh tained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 41. per cent. in terest in all calls.

The object of this undertaking is to connect the towns of Sheffield and Rotherham, as the chief seat of the Iron trade of Yorkshire, with the other principal towns of the West Riding ; and, in its course, to open the important mineral fields of Silkstone and Barnsley, in connexion, on the one hand, with the whole manufacturing districts which surround it, and, on the other, with the eastern ports. The lines are laid out in such a way as to accomplish this object in the most effectual and economical manner, and to unite the interests of all the principal towns with each other, and by the existing railway communication to complete their connexion with every part of the kingdom. The local support of the resident gentlemen connected with the district insures that these objects shall be kept fully in view, and will serve thereby, in an eminent degree, to secure the sanction of Parliament to the undertaking. The whole capital is already subscribed by substantial partier,, with the exception of such portion as is reserved for landarnerS the line, and persOns locally interested, • ~~ i •~ E.

The object of this line is to make a short and direct communication between the populous manufacturing and iron and coal districts of Bradford, Cleckheaton, Heckmondwike, Batley, Dewsbury, Barns ley, and Sheffield, with the wool and agricultural districts of Lei cestershire, Derbyshire, Doncaster, Gainsborough, Lincoln, &c., and the port of Boston. The line will forM a junction with the West Yorkshire, the Leeds and Dewsbury, and the Manchester and Leeds Railways, at or near Dewsbury; and thence proceed by Darton to Barnsley, and Wombwell, to or near to Wath-upon-Dearne, near Swinton ; where it will join the North Midland Railway, and also meet the proposed line to Doncaster, Bawtry, Gainsborough, and Lincoln ; and form a communication by the existing lines with the port of B6Sten and the south ; and by the projected Hull and Barnsley Junction Railway; it will also form a direct line to Hull, and by the Leeds and Thirsk Railway, a direct line to the north. The line• will also be continued from Barnsley by Tankersley and Chapeltown to Sheffield. A branch will run to the various Ironworks and Colliery Rail ways, near Wentworth ; and another branch will run to the Silk stone Colliery Railways. A direct line of communication will thus be formed between the important manufacturing places of Bradford, Bierley, Cleckheaton, Gomersall, Heckmondwike, Liversedge, Batley, Dewsbury, Ossett, Thornhill, Darton, Barnsley, Ardsley, and Wombwell, to Wath upon-Des rne, Doncaster, Lincolnshire, the port of Boston, and the south, and also to Sheffield ; affording the best possible accommoda tion to the rich iron and coal districts of Silkstonc, Worsborough, Tankersley, Chapeltown, and Sheffield ; whilst the wools and raw materials ased in the manufactures at Bradford, Pudsey, Earlsheaton, eieckheaton, Batley, Heckmondwike, Dewsbury, and Barnsley, as well as corn and cattle, will be received by the shortest and most di rect line of transit from Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, and the southern parts which supply these commodities, in exchange for the manufactures, coals, and minerals of those districts. It must be evident to every one, on looking at the map, that this line is imperatively called for, as up to this period the only rail way communication for the supply of wool and other goods, and the conveyance of passengers to Dewsbury, Heckmondwike, Batley, Cleckheaton, 13radfoni, and the intermediate places (each containing a numerous manufacturing population), has been the North Midland line by Normanton—a very circuitous route, as appears by the fol lowing statement of distances of those places : Relative distances from Bradford and Dewsbury to Barnsley and Sheffield, by the present route, and the proposed line : From Bradford to Barnsley by B r i g h ouse, and thence by Miles the Leech and Manchester line, about ..

From Dewsbury by the present route Sheffield is distant 40 miles ; by the proposed line it will be 21,—0r a saving of 19 miles. The same observations, as to saving of distance, apply to London and all intermediate places ; and it is important to observe that either by the present North Midland line, or by the projected London and York Railway, this proposed line will be the shortest and most direct route from Bradford, Dewsbury, &c., to London. It may also be noticed, that from Swinton to Leeds by this project and the Leeds and Dewsbury line, the distance is much less than by way of Normanton.

A careful survey of the line and branches has been made by the engineer, and the scheme will be submitted to Parliament at the ap proaching session. Power is reserved to continue the line northward to Bradford, if the Company should think fit. Provisions will be inserted in the Act of Parliament to allow Inte rest at 4 per cent. on the deposits and calls, from the passing of the Act, until the opening of the railway ; and for limiting the share holders liability to the amount of their subscriptions. Power will also be applied fc - : in the Act (and in the meantime is reserved to the Managing Committee), to abandon or alter any part of the line, and to make branches; and also to enter into any arrange ments with any other company or companies. A liberal portion of the shares will be reserved for the landowners and others having local Interests; and such companies as this line may form junctions with, or with %thorn this Company may be con nected.
