'l.4' gg That another and a more direct line of railway is necessary between the metropolis and the manufacturing.districts around Manchester, is now fully admitted, and the question is, which is the best line to be adopted. The above proposed railway will form the shortest and most di rect route from London to Manchester, and will therefore complete the direct communication with the metropolis at a much less expen diture of capital than by either of the projected London and Man chester lines (Remington's and Ashurst's), the actual distance to be constructed being only 73 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 310,0001. judicially applied in the present perfected state of civil engineering, and at the reduced cost of the execution of earth works, will prove in the end a far greater real economy, both to the Cqmpany Itself in the saving effected in the annual expense of working, and also, what is of more importance, to the country in general, by accomplishing, at a much loss 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 pursue 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 presenting more difficulties to overcome, and Involving a greater outlay, having been adopted by Parliament in preference to the many competing 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 Birmingham Railway, whereby the surplus traffic northwards will be abundantly provided for. The 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, Southamp ton, Gosport, and Portsmouth line, the distance from Manchester to Southampton will be twenty-three miles less than by any other route, and on this account the project has been warmly supported by the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth Railway Company. The deviations from a perfectly straight line between Rugby and Macclesfield to avoid high ranges of hills, ornamental parks, or valuable buildings are very slight, and the line in general offers no engineering difficulties of ally magnitude. The towns more directly interested as a local line are Nuneaton, Hinckley, Atherstone, Market Bosworth, Burton-upon-Trent, Sutbury, Ashbounme, and Leek. 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 London, at the bottom of Moorgate-street, which will prove of the utmost importance to this line. Amidst the many railway projects that now occupy the public mind, and involve a vast outlay of capital, it will readily be conceded that a line that will attain such important results at so small an outlay of capital, and of the time required for its construction, and without interfering with any existing vested interests, must meet with general approbation, and at the same time offer a very excellent investment for capital The deeds shall 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 calls. 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. Application thr detailed prospectuses, maps, and shares, may be made to the Secretary, at the Office, 78, King William-street, City, London, and the followirg sharebrokers :—Messrs. R.

It is proposed that the course of this line shall be from the Worces ter station of the Oxford, Worcester, and IVolverhampton Railway, to a point near Malvern, where the line will be divided into two branches, the one branch proceeding through or near the parish of Bosbury (whence there will be a branch to Ledbury) to Herefor . d, where it will run I n t o th e s t at i on of the Great Western-ComPanY'e Monmouth and Hereford Railway, and the projected Hereford and Shrewsbury Railway ; the other branch will proceed from the point of division near Malvern, straight to Gloucester, and wiii join the Gloucester and Dean Forest Railway near that city. This line will pass rather more th an h alf a m i le b e l o w Great Mar vent, and not far dist an t f rom the town of Upton-on-Severn , both of which places are at pres en t ent i rely shut out from the benefits of railway communication. The country has already b een i nspected under the d i rec ti o n of the engineer, and it is found th a t t h ere is no engineering difficulties of a serious diameter to be overc ome ; and indeed the grea t er portion of the line presents a course ex t rem e ly favourable for a ra ilway, the gradients being very easy. Near the point of division a t Malvern. the Hereford lino will cross a portion of the Malvern ran ge b y one or more tunnels, b u t the whole length of the tunnelling will no t much exceed one m il e . From the other side of Malvern to Hereford the surface of the country is as favourable as could be desired. The Gloucester line, from the point of division to its terminus, will pass through a country peculiarly favourable, the surface being throughout nearly one continuous level. With regard to the immediate local advantages offered by the proposed railway, it will effect the most direct communication be tween the cities of Worcester and Hereford and Gloucester and Wor cester, and between those cities and the delightful wa terhi g place and favourite summer residence of Great Malveni, to which it will also give an easy and expeditious access from other populous but more remote districts. The important market town of Ledbary, with the rich corn, fruit, and hop district around it, will also be brought into closer and more profitable connexion with the three cities ; and it cannot fail to make a considerable addition to the traffic between Worcester and the port of Gloucester. The facilities presented by the proposed railway for increasing and developing traffic in a more general and national Point of view are of a very extended character. Joining the Forest of Dean and Mon mouth Railways, it will afford a ready means of transit to South Wales, and by its junction with the Oxford, Worcester, and Wol verhampton line, and with the projected line to Porth Dynllaen, it will give railway communication with the manufacturing and mining districts of the North of England, especially of South Staf fordshire and Worcestershire, and also with North Wales and Ire land ; and by means of the Great Western Railway, which it joins at Gloucester, it wilL complete an unbroken broad gauge line from Wolverhampton to Exeter in the one direction, and from Pembroke to Wolverhampton in the other. It will effect a considerable saving in distance between the port of Gloucester and Wolverhamp ton, and all parts of the north ; it will be the nearest possible route from the extreme west of England, and from South Wales to All places north of Wolverhampton. The enumeration of the places and districts to be traversed by the proposed line, and a description of its course, sufficiently indicate a remunerating amount of traffic. It will supply to the Port of Gloucester important and bulky articles of export, drawn from the mining and manufacturing dis tricts; of South Staffordshire and Worcestershire ; and will still further develon the resources of these districts by increased facility of com munication with their natural port. The importance of this branch of the traffic can scarcely be over-estimated ; in one portion of the district alone, viz., between Wolverhampton and Stourbridge, there are about 100 blast furnaces in work, producing nearly 500,000 tons of pig iron annually, and it is admitted that the want of railway facilities has hitherto greatly hindered the development of an im portant export trade from this district. The works at Droitwich and Stoke Prior can furnish any quantity of salt. The carpet manufac tories of Kidderminster, the iron and glass works at Stourbridge, Dudley, and their populous neighbourhood, will also supply an im portant amount of traffic, certainly far beyond that now carried on with the present insufficient means of transit between those places and the district to be affected by the proposed line. The Hereford branch of the line offers to the agriculturists of the counties of Hereford, Radnor, and Brecon the advantages of cheap and ready means of access to their principal markets. It will be an important advantage to them to have their cattle, corn, hops, fruit, wool, and other produce speedily and cheaply conveyed to the grea t markets of Worcester and Birmingham, and the towns in the centre of the great manufacturing population of Staffordshire and Worces tershire ; the advantages, too, will be mutual, a s th e li ne will afford equal facilities for the conveyance of the mineral and manufacturing produce of the north to the rural districts. The population of the districts aff ected b y the proposed line, rec koning from Wolverhampton to Gloucester on the one hand, and from the same place to Hereford on the other, is not less than 400,000 ; and from the position of the country traversed, the line must be fed by all the railways constructed, or to be formed, on either side. There can, therefore, be no reasonable doubt of the Worcester, Hereford, and Gloucester line commanding a traffic so considerable as to yield an ample remuneration for the requisite capital. The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum on the de posits, and no subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit of 2/. 2s. per share until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. In the allotment of the shares of the Company, a preference will be given to parties locally interested, and to the proprietors of shares in those railways with which the present is connected and intended to communicate. Prospectuses may bo had, and applications for shares may bo ad dressed to the respective solicitors, or at the London offices of the Company, 449, West Strand, London.

The Directors can only view the important ad vantages which will arise from this union as a subject of mutual congratulation. The Nottingham, Mansfield, and Midlands Junction Railway will, by its Clay Cross extension, open up the vast and ex haustless coal fields of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire for the con sumpton of Norfolk, Lincolnshire, and the adjoining counties, and through the medium of their seaports create a new and extensive export and import trade. It will also pour an immense passenger and other traffic into the Boston, Newark, and Sheffield line, from Notting ham, Mansfield, and their populous districts to Sheffield, Hudders field, Manchester, Bradford, and other large manufacturing towns in the counties of Lancaster and Yorkshire, by means of an amicable understanding with the Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, which the amalgamated lines are intended to join. The Boston, Newark, and Sheffield Railway will confer an equal benefit upon the Notting ham, Mansfield and Midlands Junction Railway, in affording not only the most direct and the shortest mode of communication with Sheffield and the North, but in consequence of the amalgamation, it will decrease the expense of transit, and ensure an extensive market In Lincolnshire and Norfolk for the valuable minerals and othe re sources which the Nottingham, Mansfield, and Midlands Junction Railway will, in its progress, necessarily develop°.

SECRETARY—WiIIiam Bridges, Esq. The projected line of railway, to connect Cork, the first seaport and second city of Ireland, with the central agricultural district from which it is extensively supplied with produce in exchange for im ported commodities, has the entire and cordial approbation of a large body of landholders and residents between the two termini, as carrying out the principle of direct communication for which the in habitants of Fermoy and its vicinity have always contended. The line will be 19% English miles in length, being 2% miles shorter than the mail-coach road, and 14 miles shorter than any line which may be constructed as a branch via Middleton. The entire line of country has been surveyed by competent engi neers, and reported OR as extremely favourable as to the gradients, and entirely free front engineering difficulties. It will therefore be easy of construction, and all the works may be completed in a com paratively short time from the obtaining of the Act. It is intended to adapt the line in its construction to the most im proved principle of motive power. The present traffic in passengers and goods between Cork and Fermoy is considered equal, if not superior, to that existing between any two towns in Ireland equally distant from each other. As every economy will he used in its formation, and as the landowners on the ! line are entirely favourable, the railway will be constructed for a very reasonable sum, and thus ensure ample remuneration to the Shareholders.

The object proposed by this railway is, as well to supply the wants of the district through which it passes, as to complete the chain of railway communication between the eastern and midland counties and the western district, including the whole of North and South Wales. The country embraced by this line is of the richest description, and thickly populated. By means of this, and the existing and projected lines of railway, the whole of the ports in the eastern and north-eastern counties, in cluding the manufacturing city of Norwich, and towns of Leicester, Nottingham, Sheffield, Leeds, and the whole of Yorkshire will be brought in direct communication with the mineral districts of North and South Wales, the salt district of Droitwich, and the river Severn. The promoters of this line submit to the public, as a most import ant consideration, the abating of those causes of loss and inconveni ence which, along the line of country over which this railway will pass, are experienced from water carriage being from necessity at present a principal mode of transit for heavy goods and merchandise, and which, in the winter season, is productive of the most evil con sequences to those engaged in commerce. A manifest advantage to the Shareholders will be the extent of traffic which will be secured and appropriated by the present undertaking, in lieu of that which hitherto has been engrossed by the more dilatory course of water carriage. As a public advantage to the inhabitants generally of the above-mentioned districts, the promoters submit that the equa lisation in prices of the produce and merchandise which the opening of this line of railway is calculated to produce is of the high est importance, and one of the principal benefits which this and other similar undertakings are alone capable of producing. The proposed line will commence at Rugby, the terminus of the Midland Counties and Trent Valley Railways, and also of the pro posed Rugby end Huntingdon Junction Railway, and proceed from thence near to the towns of Leamington, Warwick, and Ale,ester, and end at the City of Worcester. At Worcester this line will form a Junction with the several Welsh railways, the Shrewsbury, Wor cester, and Crewe Railway, and the Oxford, Worcester, and Wol verhampton Railway. At Warwick it will unite with the Birmingham and Oxford Junc tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Len don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway. And at Rugby with the London and Birmingham, the Midland Counties, and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railway. To the inhabitants of Rugby as well as to those of the Midland, Eastern, and Northern Counties this line will afford a direct com munication with the fashionable towns of Leamington and Chelten ham, as well as the whole of the Western Counties. _ . To the inhabitants of Leamington and Warwick It will give a direct communication with the City of Worcester and North and South Wales, now so much needed. And to the inhabitants of Worcester, in addition to providing the nearest route to London via Warwick, it will be an outlet to the Eastern Counties and ports, and afford great facilities for the increase of the manufactories now carried on in that city. The whole of the country has during the present month, August, 1845, been most carefully surveyed by the engineers, and they report it to be free from engineering difficulty, and well adapted for a rail way; and the provisional Directors entertain no doubt that the line will be made under the average rate of expense incident to similar undertakings, and, from the statistics in their possession, that the traffic will afford an ample return for the capital invested. The line will Rot interfere with any ornamental property, and the landowners are favourable to the undertaking. The Shareholders in the several Railways proposed to be joined or intersected will have a preference in the allotment of shares in this undertaking. No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the Act is obtained, and power will be applied fer to allow interest at 4/. per eentum on all calls, from the' time of their respective payments, and to limit the liability of the Shareholders to the amount of their sub scriptions. The Directors reserve power to themselves to amalgamate with any existing or projected line of railway ; to vary the route ; to make all desirable extensions; and to increase the capital as may be advisable or necessary. Prospectuses, with a Plan, will be published in a few days, and may then be obtained on application to the several solicitors, and to any of the following share brokers, viz., Messrs. Peppercorns and Co., 2, Old Broad-street ; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39, Loth bury, London ; Messrs. Payne and Freer, Leicester ; Messrs. Alston and Gage, Liverpool; Messrs. Freeman and Son, Northampton ; Mr. John Drincaft, Manchester ; Messrs. George Edwards and Son, Bris tol; Mr. John Watson, Leeds; Mr. John Cragg, Skipton ; and Messrs. Atkinson, Newcastle ; Messrs.

GENTLENEN,—We regret our not being able to report that we have succeeded in our efforts to obtain for you the objects of our Associa tion ; our best energies have been devoted to the subject, but from the altered state of the circumstances which has now arisen, our Company, as at present constituted, is not in a position to compete for the Lease. At the time our Company was formed, it was understood that the Government would provide the land for the line and stations, and possibly would undertake the earthworks. The capital we then proposed (GO millions of francs), was considered sufficient to provide all that the Company, under that state of circumstances, would have required ; but after much doubt and delay, the Government have at length dztermined that their lessees shoul I undertake the purchase of the land, as well as the entire construction and working of the Rail way. The Bill has now passed the Chambers in that form, and has fixed the Capital at 80 millions (irrespective of the Grenoble Branch). Having, as we interpret our engagement to the Subscribers, neither power to undertake on their behalf the purchase of land, nor adequate funds for that larger purpose, we are under the necessity of announcing the dissolution of the present Subscription, and we have accordingly only fbrther on this head to inform you, that we now hold the deposits subject to the order of the several Subscribers, and ready to be immediatelyreturned in exchange for the letters of allot ment and banker's receipts. We would now invite your attention to the copy of the statutes, which have been framed and adopted for the regulation of a new Company for making and working the proposed line. You will observe, that it Is mainly under the same direction, and in many respects of the same character as that which we originally proposed. The capital is necessarily larger, and the powers vested in those who have the conduct of the undertaking of a much more general charac ter. We desire to retbr you in particular to articles 4-22-23- 24-28-56. We are empowered to offer to each Shareholder in the former Company who shall, on or before the 20th of September next, and in the manner we are about to mention, declare his option to accept them, the same number of Shares in the new Company as he holds in the original Company, with or without one additional Share in respect of every five original Shares, and in order to fact itate the nece-sary arrangements, we have prepared such forms as will enable the Subscribers to express their wishes with convenience. They are ready, and may be applied for at 62, King William-street, City, be tween Eleven o'clock, A.M. and Three o'clock P.M. We beg to add, that in the event of receiving at this office no com munication respecting any particular allotment of Shares in the original Company on or before the 20th of September next, the de posit thereon will be held subject to the order of the party entitled to it, and it will be entirely out of our power to extend beyond 14fe above-mentioned day the option which we have secured for the pre sent Proprietors to join the new Company. It is right _we should express our continued confidence in the merits, of the undertaking, and our recommendation to the Sub scribers to renew their investments in the new Company.

The geographical position of Worcester has caused its adoption as the point where the broad guage 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 :—another 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 on that coast, is now no longer doubtful. 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 Vale, 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 Stourbrldgo 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 gives employment to a population of about 15,000. Pass ing through or near to Much Wenlock, Broseley, and Madeley, from which place there will be a branch to Shrewsbury, the line ascends r oo cii i , and and Colebrook Dale, and approaching in its course Wellington and Nem, enters Whitchurch. From this central place a branch will be formed. e Crewe to Norwichßatl Railway. Stoke, The forming truti t e a w it u un c e o t t i t e t t i, m r e i rr t the lv hLiitse hrup passing through or near Malpas, have its northern terminus in the city of Chester. In estimating the probable amount of revenue which the Worms 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 strati 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 resi dent population, disappointed by the postponement of promised pro jects, have warmly espoused the present, and the labourin g popula tion_er being familiar with mining operations, will be found better localities. qualified for the execution of railway works here than In many other in various directions, few or as auxiliary to existing or projected lines pessing As a link in the railway network to of aff E o schemes hitherto proposed appearf accommixiation for traffic and England, or ter Inducement for investment, or a wider range t o es a ieng _ristol, thencd link in the chain the grand trunk of Om t nnlnus, Worcester, Is the half d .—its southern e thatraa,el will ing.
