Szcarrlay—E. Jones, Esq. The port of Boston affords the readiest outlet for exports free the manufacturing districts to the north of Europe, and the importance of direct communication from the midland counties to a place so ad vantageously situate cannot be over-estimated. Leicester has, or shortly will have, direct communieation with Birmingham. and all the other important towns in the midland district. The Midland Railway Company is extending the communication to Melton Mowbray, by means of its branch from Syston to Peter borough, which *asses through that place. There is also a complete line of railway about to be established from Nottingham, through Grantham and Felkingham, to Roston, as well as to Spalding, Wis beach, Lynn, Yarmouth, and other important towns in the eastern counties. The Leicester, Melton Mowbray, and Boston Direct 'Union Rail way, by forming a line from Melton Mowbray to Folkingham, will supply the only link wanting to complete a direct through communi cation from Birmingham, Warwick, Worces'er, Coventry, and the Manufacturing districts generally, to Boston, as well as by means of existing and projected railways from Wales and the Bristol Channel, to that seaport. The length of the proposed line will not exceed twenty-six miles and as it will pass through a country very favourable for engineer ing purposes, the expense of construction will, it is expected, be less than the usual average.

London—Messrs. Glyn, Halifax, Mills and Co. Huddersfield—The Halifax and Huddersfield Union Banking Com pany SOLICITORS. Mr. Wiliam Barker I New-street, Huddersfield. Messrs. Brook and Freeman The object of this undertaking is to form a continuous line of rail way from Leeds to Liverpool, by extending the lines already made, or sanctioned by Parliament, from their respective termini at Hud dersfield, in Yorkshire, and Bury, for which extension a line of rail way only 25 miles in length is requisite. The proposed line will com mence at the Huddersfield station, between which place and Leeds. Parliament has already sanctioned the formation of railways, and from Huddersfield the proposed line will proceed by way of Hillhouse' Birchencliffe, and Lindley, and thence along the valley between Stainland and Greet'and, through Bark'sland, the Yale of Ripponden, and by Rochdale to Bury, in Lancashire, where it will join the ter minus of the Liverpool and Bury line of railway. In addition to completing a direct communication from Liverpool to Leeds, Hull, and Goole, by the shortest practicable routs, and by a much smaller outlay of capital, than by any other proposed line, it will provide for a large and important manufacturing popilation, hitherto without the advantage of railway accommodation, an outlet to the south by means of the Huddersfield and Sheffield Junction Railway, and to Manchester and to North and South Lancashire by the railways above mentioned, and by the Leeds and Manchester Railway, by a proposed junction therewith at Rochdale. This line, when completed, will, in addition to the advantages which it presents as a through line, pass through a succession of val leys thickly studded with mills and manufactories, consuming a large quantity of raw materials and coal, all of which are brought trona a distance, and transmitting to other districts the produce of their industry, for which purposes a line of railway has become ab solutely necessary, and there can be no doubt that an ample return will be realised for the outlay of capital required. The distance between Huddersfield and Rochdale by tko present line of railway is thirty miles, which by the proposed railway will be reduced to seventeen miles. The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the right of enter ing into any arrangements with existing railway companjes that may appear desirable. And power will be taken by the Act of Parliament to allow interest to the shareholders at the rate of 4/. per cent. per annum on the amounts paid on their shares from the respective times of payment to tke times of opening the railway. Applications for shares may be addressed, in the subjoined form, to any of the undermentiened Sharebrokers, viz.—Messrs. Hill, Fawcett and Hill, Threadneedle-street, London; Mr. David Kinnear, Edin ' burgh ; Messrs. W. Moore and Co., Messrs. J. Getliff and Co., Messrs.

Cragg and Jeyes, 22, Bedford-roar. This railway will connect the east and west coasts, and form direct route from the ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood-on-Wyre, and Lancaster, to Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Commencing at Lancaster, it will proceed up the valley of the Lune, by Kirkby Lonsdale, Sedbergh, and Kirkby Stephen, and thence by the most practicable line to New castle. It will run nearly parallel with the old coach road, which has hitherto been the principal passenger route from Lancaster to Newcastle. It will readily be conceded that great benefits will flow from a direct railway communication between the coal-fields and mining districts of Durham and Northumberland, and the important towns and ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood, Newcastle, aid Lancaster. The entire length of the line is rich in mineral productions—coal, slate, limestone, marble, and other elements of a great local traffic abound, and cannot fail to make this ene of the most remunerative projects of the day. A considerable saving of distance between the important towns on the tenant( is effected over any existing er pro jected scheme. It will be reserved to the Committee of Management to make such alterations in the line, or the amount of capital required, or other wise, as may be deemed most advantageous to the interests of the Company. Power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate of four per cent. on the calls from the passing of the Act to the opening of the line, as well as to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscriptions only. Prospectuses and forms of application for sharee may be had of the Solicitors, and of the following brokers:— Messrs.

Local, SOLICITOR—SamueI Shepherd, Esq. NorthalleAon. By this line of railway it is intended to connect the free port of Stockton with the manufacturing districts of the West Riding of Yorkshire and the whole of Lancashire. This important object will be attained at a trifling outlay of capital, and ensure an amply remunerative traffic. The line will he constructed from or near Stockton-on-Tees, to or near to Northallerton, a distance of only eighteen miles, where it will form a junction with the Great North of England Railway, which will be traversed to Thirsk ; and from that place the communication wills Leeds and the other important manufacturing towns will be completed by a railway already sanctioned by Parliament. It will be seen, therefore, that the communication by railway be tween the free port of the Tees and the town of Leeds will be com pleted by the formation of " The Stockton, Northallerton, and Leeds Railway." The advantages of this undertaking are too numerous to specify in an advertisement ; but merchants at all acquainted with the immense export and import trade of the West Riding and of Lancashire, will at once perceive how important it is to open to that trade a port which, whilst it is as advantageous as any other in point of distance, possesses facilities and immunities which none other can offer. From the favonrable locality of the port of Stockton, there is no doubt that, with the additional facilities for the importation and transit of merchandise which this railway will afford, the port will occupy a leading position amongst those on the Eastern coast of England. The project has received very extensive local support ; and almost every landowner, through whose property the line is intended to pass, has already signified his assent to the measure. The line of the country has been surveyed by an engineer of talent and experience, and, from his report, the work will be finished for 14,0001. a mile ; and there is no engineering difficulty of any descrip tion to encounter. Applications for Shares, in the subjoined form, may be forwarded to Messrs. Wilson and Faber, solicitors, Stockton; or to Samuel Shepherd, Esq., solicitor, Northallerton; up to -and including Satur day, the Ist day ofNovember next, on which day the list will finally close, and the allotment be immediately proceeded with.

The object of this undertaking is to open a direct line of railway to connect the Northern, Eastern, and South Essex. Itailw ays, by means of a steam-ferry from Tilbury Fort to Gravesend, wit, s Tun bridge Wells, Lewes, and Brighton. It is contemplated to proceed from the Eastern Counties It ailway at or near Harlow station .to Tilbury, crossing the river by a :steam floating-bridge to Gravesend, passing by Cobham, Snodland, Mail ing, and Hadlciw, to Tunbridge, thence by the South-Eastern Rai Tway to Tunbridge Wells, passing Ucklield to Lewes, and thence lo.'ning the Brighton, Lewes, and Hastings Railway to Brighton. An inspection of the map will clearly show the great important a of this railway, whether considered in a local or national point of v iew, forming, as it will, a most useful chain of local communicatlot: for the fertile and ,populous tracts through which it passes. It will bring' the Northern and Eastern Counties, the mouth of the Thames, and North Kent, into direct communication, by way of Brighton, wit ir Dieppe and Havre, and thus form, in eonjuviction with the rail Nays now in progress on the Continent, the sin irtest possible route to Paris and the Mediterranean. By this rail way the large population of the north-eastern c +coun ties, numbering nearly two millions, will have a direct and easy tom munication with the whole of the populous and important counti ss of Kent and Sutssex, without going round to London, and they eby avoiding the inconvenience arising from the unconnected lines north and south of the metropolis. The utility a f this line to the naval and military service, both in times of peace and war, for the conveyance of troops and stores, is evident. With the exi sting railways and those now in progress in Rent and Sussex, a mod ,t complete system of local communication will be effected; and its such, the project has been received with the most distinguished approbation and pledges of support from the principal proprietors along the line, and the corporation of Gravesend have promised their , entire s;ulction to, and will cordially support it. The ground has been carefully surveyed, and found to present no difficulties to the formation of a good working line. The existing local traffic has been ascertained to be amply suffi cient to fulfil the requirements of the undertaking ; but a large ac cession of volt table traffic cannot fail to be the result of the increased accommodation thus afforded to the public, and rendering the under taking one of the most Important as well as productive lines of rail way in that p art of the country. The Committee reserve power to themselves to form branches from Snodland to C hatham and Maidstone. The liabilit3r of the Shareholders will be restricted by Act of Par liament to the , amount of their subscriptions, and power will be ap plied for in the Bill to allow interest at four per cent. per annum on all calls, from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line.

Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route, and to supply an important link of communication between the town of Spalding and the eastern coast, and the western and midland districts. Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereham, Lynn, and Holbeack Railways, the Hie will proceed by Roam. Witham, Castle Bytham, South Wytham, and Wymondham, to a point on the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near Melton- Mowbray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mid land Counties Railway, as almost direct route to Leicester, and thence to Coventry and Birmingham by the proposed Coventry, Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway. The projected line will form the most direct communication be tween the eastern and midland districts ef the kingdom, and will, by means of the proposed lines across the county of Leicester, via Bur ton-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincoln, Norfolk, Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by many Mlles than any other line of railway. It will form, with other projected railways, an almost direct line across the kingdom, from Yairrnouth, via Norwich, on the east, to lberystvrith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the west. The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. There is no tunnel ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary; the line from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve miles, is very level, and may be constructed at a small cost. It will secure the advantages of railway communication to a tract of country at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open ing out sources of trade undeveleped for want of the means ef transit. The central midland districts have felt greatly the want of direct communication with the coast; and this line will at once supply the deficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire. It will afford a transit for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon supply from the north at high prices: it will also secure the 'Avail. tages of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershire works, to the agricultural districts ef Lincoln, which are at present only supplied at very high rates; and, in return traffic, the midland dis tricts will obtain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk. Several propesed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which is the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, and connected ai. of the The prop b os y e t d he capi River Wwfllllanbedsuffiwitchietitte constructionGfoerrmthaenOce necessary works and every subsequent expense ; and the income derivable from the traffic in passengers between Birmingham, Co ventry, Leicester, Derby, Melton , Spalding , and Boston, the trans- port of cern, cattle, and other produce of the great agricultural districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland districts, will be sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay. The Parliamentary surveys have been commenced, and are now in active progress, and contracts have been entered into which en au } r , e orm san s lc o l f en a t pp ti l m ica e t f i o o r n co m m r p e l h ia a n re c s e , w p i l t a h n h , e a n standing eocrtduesres; may be had of the Solicitors ; also at the offices of the Company, 4, Tra falgar-square,panied byrespectable p C , h e t a a r b h l t e g • references, La y L e a y applicationsbradaresfsoerdshtaoreths,eapccroomyi: sional Committee.
