The geographical position of Worcester has caused its adoption as the point where the broad gauge trunk:lines of the west are to have a common terminus. From Oxford the Great Western Company have decided on constructing a line of rail i—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 en that coast, is now no longer doubtftd. 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 Yale, where it will disclose a succession of picturesque scenes, it reaches Stourport, and proceeding thence through Kidderminster, arrives at Bewdley. This district is one of the chief seats of our carpet manu factures, and in the towns here named, exclusive of the intervening districts, upwards of 30,000 persons are located. Leaving Stourbridge a little to the east, the line is taken to Bridgenorth, a town enjoying an active inland trade, and possessing woollen manufactures and iron works, that give employment to a population of about 15,00 e. Pass ing through or near to Much Wenlock, Moseley, and Madeley, from which place there will be a branch to Shrewsbury, the line ascends Colebrook Dale, and approaching in its course Wellington and Wem 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 Whitehurch, and passing through or near 3/ alpas, have its northern terminus in the city of Chester. In estimating the probable amount of revenue which the Worees 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 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- Waf, and from thence through the coal-fields of Swannington and Cole-Orton to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. It will thence proceed aeross the Ifoira 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 lam, 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 progress of making. At this point it also meets the proposed South Staffordshire line, by which means it reaches Lichdeld, and by means of one of the proposed lines it will afford coramanleatioa with Bir mingham. From Loughborough the line will be further continued to A stbrdby on the Syston and Peterborough Railway, now in progress, aid by means of this latter line, a direct intercourse will be opened with Melton Mowbray and the various towns to Peterboroug h , througses h pinch that route pas Captain Beare, Director of the Worcestershire, Shrewsbury, and Crewe Railway W.

Story, Esq., Lockington Hall, Leicester By means of its junction with the Trent Valley line at Alrewas, the Grand Trunk reaches Colwich, and there meets the proposed North through Rugeley to Stafford, thus completing Staffordshire line, to Newcastle -under- L ne. Leek, and Macclesfield. By means also of the same Trent Valley line at Alrewas the Grand Trunk pro ceedswhich proceeds through the heart of the Potteries 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. Derby station, and Ulan its route, and Canal proceed to The second lino of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the g the course of the Derby 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-11111, 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-Zouck. 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 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 districts, 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 plain coal at Cole Orton of equal quality, though net of equal depth with those of Staunton Harold, whilst the main coal at Swanningten 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.

This line will commence at the Long Eaton station of the Midland Counties Railway, and will proceed in a direst line to or near Castle Donington, 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 Use. 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 com 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 All up the railway ehasm 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 Grimsby look Company being now determined on, a large amount of capital will be expended in rendering Oreat Grimsby a port of the first importance ; and M 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 Erewash Valley Railway at Long Eaton, it must command the traffic from Coventry, Warwick, and the district south 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 maims of the projected Worcester, Warwick, and Rugby, and the Warwick and Worcester Railways. Tlie 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 listrict, 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 prospective amount of trams, the profits on the small capital required cannot fail to be highly re munerative. Powers for allowance of interest at four per cent. on tho paid-up capital will be taken, and the liability of shareholders limited to the amount of their subscriptioni.

At Staunton Harold and Calke exist rich veins of lead ore, new in hill course of working. The properties of the llreedon, Staunton Harold, and Ticknall lime are so well knowk to agriculturists and others, that an extension of traffic for so valuable a commodity i►to mare remote districts must be of the utmost importance to the practical farmer. In approaching the Trent, on leaving the lime distrist, 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 eountry 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 Chells,ston.

This important line will commence at Brighton, and (passing through or contiguous to the towns of Renting, Petworth, Mid hurst, Peterstield and Alresford) will join 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 Petersfield a shed branch will be made to Chichester, where, nearly at the same point of junction, the London and Ports mouth direct will intersect the line in its way to Portsmouth. From Swahili' it is proposed to proceed by the Manchester and Soathampt"n Railway to Chelt Wham, 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. Hastings, and Dover. It is unnecessary to observe on the daily increasing trafde 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 Franee, either from Brighton or Dover, will be opened with the northern counties of England. It is obvious that with these advantages the traflio 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 neesssary, to alter the line, or to make such deviations or branches therefrom as maybe 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. Application for shares may be made to the !Solicitors, Secretary and to the following Sharebrokers, of whom prospectuses, with maps of the line, may be obtained:—London--Messrs.

The inar.ortance of connecting• remote parts of England by Rail ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns and districts, can'scarcely be better exemelitied than by the Line which is .ow proposed to form a short and direct channel of inter course between Oxford And 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 diverge to the northwest, 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 co'zrse of Railway from the north-eastern parts of the island, requires gSalaisbudriyreent irlehei: Roafilwettoym,miunnicaadtidoitr 6 g the appliance now suggested to effect a complete means of transit to 7, the western and south,western counties. 3 ,5 t :: ::. lar T ge h , e O by x E.;I the benefits which will 44r p ci refe a r n r d in be conferred upon the nation at need, and will provide a facility for the Interchange of produce be- C 3 0, 14 tweeu the north-eastern and western and south-western d' N parts of England, will afford to the borough of Abingdon, '1 Sl 0 the market towns of Wantage, Hungerford, and Ludgershall, and 6 ;1 the adjacent villages, an important railway accommodation, of which the agricultural districts in which they are Seated stand In much _ tween the rural, manufacturing, and commercial popnlatio of the kingdom. 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 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 Ludgersliall, claims a share of the profits and advantages produced by railway traffic. It has therefore been determined to commence the proposed( 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 same 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, Hungeriord and Lodgers. hall to Salisbury, and thence to the south and western ports and dis tricts. ' A map of the line, a statistical report of the whole country intended to be traversed and , Is In course of preparation, and with the names of an influential provisional Committee, wilt very shortly lie published. In the meantime, thrther information may be ob tained from Messrs. Elmslie and Preston, 47, Moorgate-street, London, solicitors to the undertaking, to whom, at present, applies thin for shares may be made.

This Cempany 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 Manchester Railway to within a importance of the Whiston Inclined Plane, and thence branch off, in a south-easterly direction, through Warrington, Knutsford, 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 and Rugby, and London and Birmingham, will be only Ilia 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 12% 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 ettsting 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 l a . re a b li n ti t te., immediately two such Important towns, especially when these towns he as tb b c e i fo a re s latdwveertreed, for other railways from still more distant The distance also froin 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 2634 miles, making the whole distance from Manchester to Derby only 6634 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 Wlll also be the most direct route from Liverpool to London. The distance from Liverpo - ol to Leek (the proposed point of Anc 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 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. 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 41. per cent interest on all calla. Applications for detailed prospectuses, maps, and shares, may be made to the Secretary, at the offices, 58, Moorgate-street, London ; at Mr. Bethel's Offices, 75, King Willlam-streef, City, London ; and at 22, Cross-street, Manchester, and the following Sharebrokers:—Messrs.

George Smith, Esq., Derby Newcastle-under-Lyint Stafford • Ashbourne PARLIAMENTARY AGENTS—Wear& Dorrington, Hayward, BM combe, 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, en 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 commencing one of its arms at Crewe station. on the Grand Junction Railway, which will run through or near Newcastle-under-Lyre, Burnham, Stoke-spon-Trent, Lan. 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 oom munication between Holyhead and other:parts of North Wales, Cheshire, Staffordshire, and Shropshire,'en the one hand, and Sheffield, Retford, Mansfield, Nottingham, Newark, rorwich, and the ports of Gainsborough, Grimsby, Boston, Spalding, Lynn and Yarmouth, oat the other. This line will accommodate a very considerable portion of the traffic proceeding from the west coast of Scotland, Cumberland, and Lanca shire, into Line,olnehlre and the south-eastern parts of the kingdow, and by that portion of the line which is proposed to rull betweell 'leper and Stafford, and the whole of the traffic from the east costs, of Scotland, Northumberland, Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, t it its and other populous northern counties passing to the west and south. nt ll ev e e tt s ration of local west, together with the opulent mineral districts of South Wal es, nut v nt e e W re ed • be effectually served. Passing as this line will do, through a densely-populate and ex tensiveeharaet enr7ansuf,ac)netuorfitvigudtisiti.ripcto,rtiant importance. towns affected by it would suffice to show that Este will be immense ; hut, in addition to this, wbta Credit is taken for the thorough traffic passing diagonally over the Ilee from south-east to nortb-west, and from north-east to soidi a ..,, t corn and other agricultural produce t.orn the es , as well as for the manufacturing districts ; and it return ' carriageeaen; counties to the reannfactured goods, slates from North Wales, salt fleet Cheshire, o earthenware from Staffordshire, and iron tom Shropshire, for *e consumption of the midland counties as Well as for export from the eastern ports of Hull, con as 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 sash para mount importance to local interests, that the shiest and most in fluential atippert and co-operatioe have been obtained to effectually carry out and insure the various objects of this undertaking. Surveys of the district have been made with much care, and the result le highly favourable in an engineering point orview.
