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 )bininon terminus. From Oxford the Great Western Company have iceided on constructing a line of rall:—another project ander the pa tronage of the same poWerful direction is 'now before the public, uniting Worcester with Warwick ; and, that the broad gauge will be ea Zvi from Worcester into Wales, and to the Irish packet stations on that coast, is now no longer doubtfel. 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 teesssible from that city. Passing up the Severn Vale, where t will disclose a succession of picturesque scenes, it reaches Stourport, and proceeding thence through Kidderminster, arrives at Bewdloy. This district is one of the chief seats of our carpet manu factures, anti in the towns here named, exclusive of the intervening Betides, upwards of 30,000 persons are located. Leaving Stourbridge little to the east, the line is taken to Rridgenorth, a town enjoying an active inland trade, and possessing woollen manufaCtUres and iron works, that gives employment to a population of about 19,000. pass ing through or near to Much Weulock, Broseley, and Medellin fr om which place there will be a branch to Shrewsbury, the 'hie ascends Colebrook Dale, and approaching in its course Wellington and Were, 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 Whitchurch, and pelting through or near Ifalpas, have its northern terminus in the cifrof Chester. In estimating the probable amount of revenue Which the Worces ter and Chester Railway may be expected to yield, many sources of profit present themselves, suctt are the dense population located along the length of the Severn Yale, 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, Ironbridgs, 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 tulles In extent, and with a surface peculiarly favourable. The resi dent population, disappointed by the postponement of promised pro- Stec*, have warmly espoused the present, and the labouring popula tion being ihmillar with mining operations, will be found better qualified for the execution of railway works here than in many other localities. As a link in the railway network of England, or as auxiliary to existing or projected lines paseing variOUS directions, few schemes hitherto proposed appear to a ff ord greater inducement for investment, or a wider range of accommodation for truffle and hened link in the chain travelling. This project constitutes a lengt that will connect Liverpool with Bristol, the grand trunk of the West of England ;—its southern terminus, Worcester, is the half way station of the London and Port Dynnllaen broad gauge line : by projected lines it direst oommunication will be afforded west 'ward to Swansea and Aberystwith, and, eastward, to Warwick and :Northampton, Cambridge, Peterborough, Harwich, Lynn, Lincoln, Asti hull. The line has been repeatedly and carefully examined by the Com pany's acting engineer, who reports that the rail for many miles may be laid on the natural level—that the gradients are in every in stance favourable—that the geological structure of the districts to .be traversed is equally so, and that the want of such a line of com ,munication is aoknowledged by the interests seated en its proposed wourse.

With the advan tage of at least 280 miles of heavy road, that place has attained its hig h po sition. as a Packet Statio n. Southam p ton, with far less natural ad vantages, has, since the opening of the South-Western Railway, in creased its imports from 200,0001, to 3,000,0001. per annum. At Bris tol, before the opening of the Great Western Rallsiray, the imports were declining ; since then they have'very considerably increased. The merits of a line to the Land's End as an investment for ca pital, it was not left to the present Company to discover. The Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Railways having already reached Exeter, it has been' in 'contemplation' to extend' that line to Fal mouth by wy of Plymouthvarious Other projects have been set *on foot a on, the conviction that Fahnouth must be reached by railway. The object of this prospectus is to show that no other line than the present can ultimately satisfy the exigeneies of the country In regard to this, its most important outport—" the natural Patket Station of the empire." The present projeet is diatinguished by this—that it is direct. It is as nearly as possible a straight line from London to the Land's End. m The London, Bath, and Bridgewater Company having amalga mated with this Company, the immense local in fl uence commanded ; e w m h will now contribute to the great national object of a direct l . l a n a e .. ile meanshave been taken for securing the t?affie and a ff ord-' so omfar as i Di ß rez id t W i zt v ern u i _ ll e ' th e_accommodation contemplated by that Company. availing itself of the Great Western Railway Great Bedwin, icf es its course by or near Newbury, Hunger ibrd, of Trowbridge (fro ar m lborough, Devises, the manufacturing dis trictl, w hic h igmt a diverging line will bee carried by being shorter 1 1 -1 , be taken to Bradthrd direct to Vieth Frome, Shepton Mallet, Wells (from whieh, in : other diverging Westb ury Tlridgewatei), between about thirty-two miles than Glastonbury to Taunton, any existing or projected railways to Tiverton, Railway (now oc ia t ir to av r el he Land's e ßn m , il a m lm t o i nth, St. , r wnence it is a tunnel.

As to the traffic do the lower portion of the line, it Is evident that the vast :number of merchant vessels continually detained in the Channel by:adverse winds, would effect an immense saving both in insurance and.time, by discharging theircargoes at Falmouth, and at once transmitting them to their destination by means of this railway; and therefore—without speculating on the extent to which the ports •on either side of the great promontory of the Land's End may, by means of this railroad, attract the commerce respectively of Bristol and Southampton ; to what extent the inexhaustible mineral wealth of Cornwall, and the unrivalled agricultural resources of Devonshire may be further developed, or the genial climate of Penzance and Mount's Bay, " the Montpellier of England," attract a larger propor tion of winter visitants—it is obviOus that this line will command a traffic both in goods and passengers, from its western terminus, the amount of which may be said to be without limit. A glance at the map'will make it manifest that no competing trunk line can ever be established between Tiverton and the Land's End. As between Taunton Cud Reading, an inspection of the map will show a vast ex tent of midland district, comprising rich and populous parts of So mersetshire, Dorsetahire, and Wiltshire, now altogether destitute of railroad accommodation. Recurring to the features of this project as a national work, one of the greatest in point of magnitude, of vital importance in the event of war, and of almost incalculable advantage to the general and packet commerce of the kingdom ; it may not be out of place to quote here the following expressions of Sir Robert Peel. Speaking of the project of a direct line from London to Liverpool through the Trent Valley, which bore much the same relation to the Birmingham and Grand Junction that this bears to the Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Railways, he is reported to have said :—" I consider that the com munication between the metropolis and the great outports to be not a question of hours, but a question of minutes." Of the necessity of this particular line, Parliament has already expressed an opinion ; for In the report of the Committee on the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth line, which was promoted by the Great Western Railway Company, it was stated that that Company had been required to pledge itself not hereafter to oppose a direct line to Falmouth ; and it may be further observed, that a proposed line from Plymouth to Falmouth was last session rejected, on the ground that it might be supposed to interfere with that great national object. The survey of the line has been to a great extent completed, and correct estimates of the expenditure and returns are In a state of for wardness, and the whole will be ready for the next session of Par liament. It is sufficient, as to these points, here to state that there are no engineeripg difficulties In any part of the line which have not been repeatedly surmounted in other cases ; that the first portion will be constructed at an unusually small expense ; that the undertaking will meet with the cordial support, concurrence, and co-operation of the landowners, and that tie Directors are justified in asserting that this will prove to be one of the most remunerative railways in the lingdom. . . . . Powers will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at our pounds per centum per annum cgr the - deposits; and - preference in the allotment of shares will be given to the proprietors of the land through which the line will pass, and to the shareholders in the Great Western, the Bristol and Exeter, and other railways connected with the Direct Western district. Applications for shares, in the form subjoined, to be addressed to the solicitors to the Company or to the Secretary. London, September 11, 1841. FORM OF APPLICATION.

(Registered Provisionally.) T HE BRISTOL, BATH, and BRIDGWATER ND JUNCTION RAILWAY GRAND ‘. Connecting with . the Great Western Railway oa the one side, and on the other with the Britol and Exeter Railway, the following im portant places--Keynsham, Burnet, Marksbury, Stanton Priory, Farmborough, Timsbury, High Littleton, Hallatron, Paulton,Wellon, Midsummer, Norton, Radstoke, Kilmersdon, Newberry, Coleford, Elm, Frome, Leigh-upon-Mendip, Stoke-lane, Downside, Shepton Mallet, Crosscombe, Dinder, the city of Wells, Coxley, Polsham, Glastonbury, Street, Walton, Ashcot, Higher and Lower Pedwell, Greinton, Shipwick, Catcot, Edgington, Moorllnch, Sutton Mallet, Chedzoy; Dinwear, and Bridgwater. - . It is proposed that this Grand Junction line - should start from near the station of the" Great Western :Railway at Keynsham, and proceed by Burnet to Marksbury and Farmbbrodgh. Thenee it will pass on the west side of Timsbury, and go on through the numerous and ex tensive coal works by Radford, Camerton, and Clandown, to Rad stoke. Thence to Kilmerdown, which it will skirt on the western side; and thence through Babisgton to the eastern side of Newberry, from which there will be a branch 1 to Frome, passing by Elm on -the southern side. The main line 11,11 hold its course beside the Upper and Lower Yobster coal works and Goodeve's coal works, throdgh Melcombe Wood tothe southern point of Leigh-upon-Mendip. Thence it will proceed over Long Cross Bottom to the western side of Bodden, and to the eastern side of Shepton Mallet, and the western side of Downahire. Its course thence will be along the western sides of Ham, Crosscombe, and Dinder, to the southern point of the city of Wells. From this it will hold its way between Coxley and Coxley • Pound to the western side of Southsay and the eastern side of Pol sham, and so on to the western side of Glastonbury, where it will cross the North-road. Thence passing Bickworthy Mill, it will skirt on the northern side Street and Walton, pass Ashcot on the southern side, proceed on the north side of Higher Pedwell between Shipwick and Greinton, and so on to the northern side of Moorlinch. Thence to the northern side of Sutton Mallet, then over Sutton Moor to Chedzoy, passing over Fowler's Plot, then through Dhnwear to the southern side of the Bridgwater station on the Bristol and Exeter Railway, and thence spanning, the railway into the borough of Bridgwater. The length of the main line will be about forty-three miles ; that of the branch from Newberry to Frome, four miles seven furlongs. The line has been carefully laid down after accurate investiga tions, anal it presents no engineering difficulties whatsoever. There will be no tunnel or viaduct, or other costly work, and there will be no heavy cuttings or embankments. The line passes through a fer tile, rich, and. populous district, and serves all the principal towns in the county of Somerset, and brings them into connexion with all the regiOns traversed by the Great Western and the Bristol and Exeter Railways, and with the metropolis. It is so obvious that this Grand Junction Railway must command an immense traffic in passengers, goods, and minerals, that it would be idle to dilate on the subject. A iprospectus containing the list of the Provisional Committee, the amount of capital required, the number of shares to be issued, and the names of the officers, will be published in a few days, accompanied by a map of the line and the adjacent eountry, laid down upon the scale of one inch to a mile.

The line of Railway intended to be constructed by this Company will commence at or near Norton Bridge (a station of the Grand Junction Railway),. in the county of Stafford, and proceed from thence by Eccleshall, Offley, Norbury, Forton, Newport, Donnington Wood, Oaken Gates, Priors Lee, Stirchley, Dawley, Madeley, and Iron Bridge, to Coalbrook-dale; there, crossing the proposed " Wor cester and Crewe Railway," it will pass along the slope of Wenlock edge, by Rushbury and Raton-under-Haywood, to Wistanstow, in the county' of Salop, where it will run into, and form a junction with the " Shrewsbury, Hereford, and North Wales Railway." The line will traverse a rich mineral district, and will have a secure and extensive traffic by the carriage of coal from the Shropshire coal-field, to a depot imposed to be formed at Wistanstow, for the supply of South Shropshire, part of Radnorshire and Herefordshire, and also front whence it will be conveyed by the " Hereford, Shrews bury, and North Wales Railway," into Montgomeryshire and the neighbouring counties, where coal does not exist. It is impossible to calculatelhe extent to which this traffic may be carried, as by the direct railway communication thus opened between the Shropshire coal-field, and the important manufacturing towns of Newtown and Llanidloes, the price per ton will be reduced one-half at those places, and the flannel manufacturers, now depend ing upon water power, will, by the cheapness of coal, be enabled to employ steam, and to extend their trade in proportion to the great demand which exists for the Welsh flannels, in preference to any other. The importance of this subject will have its due weight with those who so often witness the bad effects upon the trade, caused by the stoppage of the mills from an insufficiency of water. A considerable amount of tonnage is now incurred by the Shrop , shire ironmasteri,f or the conveyance of lime-stone from the neigh bourhood of Much Wenlock to the furnaces, by several transits of land and water carriage, whereas the proposed railway will convey it direct into the heart of the works, and at one-third of the expense. By its junction with the " Grand Junction" and the " Hereford and Shrewsbury" Railway s , thi s li ne w ill f orm a direct communica tion between Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, York and Hull, and Swansea and South Wales. _ As a junction line alone (connecting as it will such important rail ways), a large passenger traffic may be depended upon, but when it is considered that the centre of the line passes through a densely populated mining district, and the remainder through a thriving agricultural neighbourhood, it will be obvious that a sufficient local traflle exists to pay a highly remunerative interest on the' amount of capital required to be embarked. The line, which will not interfere with . any property of as orna Mental or costly character, will not exceed 46 miles in length, and Will be constructed at much lees than the average cost. Such important local co-operation has been secured, that no oppo sition is anticipated - or can be sustained against the measure. • _ The liability of the Shareholders wh.‘, be limited, by the Act, ter the amount of their subscription to the capital sto ck ; a n d power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate of four per cent. per annum on the amount of the deposit, and upon the further calls, from the date of each payment until the opening of Ow line ; and the tree deposit being paid, a further call, will, not be made until the Act o Parliament shall have been obtained.

The line will communicate with the Swanaington Railway either by means of the proposed Broughton Astley branch of the Midlands, er of a separate branch to be formed by this Company ; thereby opening the entire of the Leicestershire coal-field to the counties south-east of Leleeetcr. The Directors, for the last few months, having used their best exertions for the Interests of the Company, feel it their duty, now that the surveys, plans, and other arrangements are so far advanced, to acquaint their shareholders With the potition and prospects of the undertaking. . . . . The Coventry, Bedworth, and Nuneaton line, which received the favourable report of the Board of Trade, and was before Parliament last session, forms part of the present projected plan for connecting Leicester, Coventry, and Birmingham. The' Directors have, by personal inspection, accompanied by their engineer, satisfied themselves of the remarkable facilities presented by the district for executing the greater part of the line ; and from careful investigation the Directors have the pleasure of informing the shareholders that this' undertaking eannot fail to prove a profitable inveitment if supported by local traffic only, and with the certainty that a through traffic from the eastern and western lines, combined with the great' advantages afforded by the junction with the Trent Valley for the transit of goods to and from Liverpool, Scotland, Ire land, and the United States, its importance cannot be over estimated. From the extent of population accommodated by this railway —from the convenience afforded to tae trade and manufactures of the Midland Counties—frem the vast mineral resources of the dis tricts traversed, and from its position in regard to other important, established, and projected railways, the Directors feel confident that it will be amply remunerative M the Shareholder, and highly advan tag.eous to the public. The capital has been subscribed, and the Parliamentary deeds have been executed, and the preliminary survey completed. A list of a new and highly influential local direction, and a map of the line, will be published in a few days. By order, H. CASSIN, Secretary pro tent.

The line to Tunbridge will branch from Ightham, and take the course of the valley by West Peckham and Hadlow to Tunbridge, communicating with the South-Eastern Railway. from Tunbridge to Tunbridge Wells:. The whole length of the lines to be constructed will be sixty-four miles. The country has been careflally surveyed, and, with the exception of a tunnel through the Chalk-hill, near Otford, the works are not of an expensive character, and the lines are free from curves or gra dients of all objectionable nature. The line will be laid down so as to be adapted to the locomotive or atmospheric principle, which ever mode of propulsion it may ulti mately be found most advisable to adopt. By reference to the map of Kent it will be perceived that the lines of the proposed railway are those indicated by the natural features of the country ; that such railways are calculated to effect in the most advantageous manner the great objects of direct " through" communication between LondOn 'andiFolkestone and Dover, and be tween London and Tunbridge and Tunbridge Wells, taking the nearest practicable line to Bromley, Sevenoaks, Maidstone, Lenham, and Ashford, and by a comparatively trifling expense In forming a short branch from Weatwell, to join the present railway from Ashford to Canterbury, at Wye, placing the.city of Canterbury, and the whole of the district communicating with that 'city, within a few miles in distance and a few minutes in time as near to London as could be effected by the outlay of a vast sum in the construction of a separate railway to Canterbury, affording Also the means of railway commU ideation between Canterbury and Maidstone (the county towns of East and West Kent), and the other principal towns, and generally throughout the county. - • In further explanation of the merits of the proposed lines, It msy he noticed that Maidstone, the county town of Kent, is situate in the centre of the county, on the river Medway, contains the county gaol, courts of justice, cavalry depot, and various other public esta blishments ; that the assizes and sessions are held at Maidstone, and that the county business generally is there conducted ; that by me ans of the central situation of Maidstone, and the advantages of themi gation of tile river, a very large wholesale business is card on there ; that the town and immediate vicinity contain numerous and extensive paper manufactories, mills, breweries, iron founderies, and other works, and that the district surrounding Illaidstone comprises the most extensive hop and fruit plantations in Kent. The necessity for the construction of new l ines of rauway f or the purpose of reducing the. distance between London and Folkestone and D6ver, and between London and Maids tone, has been full y admitted ; and the want of railway communication between Bromley, Sevenoaks, Wrotham, and other principal places in the centre of the county, not only with London, but with the city of Canterbury an d Maidstone, has been of serious injury to a very large portion of the county. And it has been thought most advisable for the interests of the county and the public, that a: measure of such local as as well , as general importance should be undertathken by a Company formed for the express purpose of carrying out e project ; uninflu enced by any conflicting Interests, and connected with, and as far as practicable identified with, the county. It has also been considered advisable that this measure should be supported entirely upon its own merits, without attempting to engross the traffic of the northern side of the county, of .to oppose the construction of any railways which that portion of the county may Eonsider necessary for their seem_ modation. ,Under this impression, several gentlemen , resident in and near Maidstone, have, with the general sanction and suPPort of the landed proprietora interested in the measure, and of the inhabitants of Maidstone, united with an influential body of• capitalists in the formation of this Company, with the full intention of carrying out the project as a measure for the benefit of the county and the public, feeling confident that the very great traffic which this railway m us t necessarily command will enable the proprietors to provide every accommodation- the • public can require at a very moderate charge, and will also •afford a very liberal remuneration Do the amount of capital to be.invested in the undertaking. The Provisional Committee have no reason to anticipate any effec tual opposition to a measure so obviously beneficial, and so generally and powerfully supported- by those best qualified to form an opinion of its merits, and most interested in carrying it into effect. The usual power will lie taken in the Act of Parliament to allow infereet at 4 per cent. per annum on the deposit, as well as upon all fhture calls, from the date of the passing of the Act until the opening of the railway, and no shareholder will be liable beyond the amount of his subscription.

The proposed railway is intended to commence on the Trent Valley Railway near Stafford, and proceed thence in an easterly di rection, to pass through, or near to, Tixall, Haywood, Colwich, and Abbott's Bromley, to the rapidly-increasing town of Burton-upon- Trent, where it will run into the Birmingham and• Derby Railway, forming the shortest and best practicable route from Staffordshire to Derby. Leaving the Birmingham and Derby Railway at Burton upon-Trent, it will proceed along the valley ort?te Trent by Repton, Swarkestone, and Shardlow, to the Midland Counties Railway at the point where that railway forms a junction with the Derby and Not tingham Railway ; and by means of these and other railways in progress, tbrrn a complete line of railway communication between the central towns of Stafford, Derby, Nottingham, Lincoln, Leices ter, Peterborough, and Boston, on the east, and Shrewsbury, Ches ter, and Holyhead, North Wales, and Ireland, on the west. , This railway will, therefore, form the only connecting link re quired in the great chain of railway communication from east and west through the heart of the kingdom, uniting the shores of the German Ocean on the oast with those of the Irish Sea on the west, and traversing in its course the rich agrteultural districts of the eastern midland, and western counties, .and accommodating the im portant manufacturing , towns of Stafford, Derby, Nottingham, Lei cester, and Shrewsbury. But another most important advantage that will result from the formation of this line_ will consist in the fact of its. affording, in connexion with the proposed South Union, or Manchester and Potteries Railway, by far, the shortest and best route between Derby, Nottingham, Newark, Lincoln, Peterborough, Leicester, and Loughborough, and the extensive and populous dis tricts of the Staffordshire Potteries, Macclesfield; Stockport, and Manchester. By the proposed line the distance between Nottingham and , Derby and Manchester will be at least from 15 to 20 miles lees than by the present circuitous route by Sheffield. The traffic on this line must necessarily be equal, if not superior, to that of any line in the district. The length of the line will be about 33 miles, through a country presenting no difficulties of more than an ordinary kind for its con struction. The capital proposed to be raised is 600,0001., in shares of 201. each, upon which a deposit of 21. 2s. per share must be paid upon the allotment. No call will be made until the Act is obtained, and no Subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of his deposit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription ; and the usual power will be taken to allow interest at four per cent. from the time of payment upon each call until the opening of the line. The subscribers' agreement and the Parliamentary contract must be executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip cer tificates, of which 14 days' notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by any party making default in the execution of those deeds will be forfeited. Applications for Shares may be made to the solicitors. JAMAICA, SOUTHERN, EASTERN, AND NORTHERN RAILWAY, FROM KINGSTON TO MON TEGO BAY. . . Office, No. 43, Moorgate-street.

The great difficulty, delay, and expense attending the Inman of passengers and goods from Kingston to Montego Bay and the inter mediate ports, either by sea or land, is well known to all persons conversant with the islan 1 of Jamaica. The average passage by steamer between Montego Bay and King. ston, occupies forty-four hours ; and the costs, including expenses on the route, amount to nearly 51. each passenger, while the quickest journey by land occupies three days, and the expenses, including horse hire, reach nearly 201. By the railway the whole line will be traversed in eight hours, at an expense not exceeding an average of 30s. per passenger. The difference in the freights between the northern and southern sides of the island and England is such, that independently of the saving of time, this railway will enable proprietors on the northern side, after payment of the costs of transit, to ship their produce at much less expense than at present, and will afford them the advan tage of shipping at all times from the very excellent harbour of King ston, instead of being confined, as they now are, to the exposed ports of the east and north of the island. The line will commence at a spacious quay, to be constructed at Kingston Harbour, with a depth of water sufficient for vessels of the largest tonnage employed in the export trade of the Island ; at or near to which point it is proposed to form a junction with the King ston and Spanish Town hallway, and proceed thence by or near Rock Fort, Yallahs, Morant Town, Port Morant, Plantain Garden, Man chioneal Harbour, Port Antonio, Buff Bay, Anotto Bay, Port Maria, St. Ann's, Duncan, Martha Brae, and terminate at or near Montego Bay. By these means a line of intercommunication will be formed between the most important and populous places, and facility offered for carriage of the produce of the most productive portion of the ' island. Through the southern portion of the line, the physical features are gentle elevations, almost parallel to the principal range of moun tains, which run east and west, nearly the length of the island ; the eastern portion, from Port Morant to Plantain Gersten, is almost level ; while the northern runs through an exceedingly rich country, rising into hills separate from each other by spacious vales. The whole of the country traversed by the line abounds in the staple ar ticles of sugar, coffee, rum, molasses, ginger, pimento, and other spices, dye wood, drugs, &c.; and as more than one-third of the land is still uncultivated, the production of these articles will, by the increased facility for traffic, he greatly increased ; and cotton, indigo, cocoa, &c., and dry stuffs, at present unitnported, will again be brought into extensive cultivation. Timber of great variety abounds along the line ; besides the pimento . tree, which flourishes spontaneously, there are mahogany, lignum vita;, ebony, Spanish elm, fine cedar, and other trees of enormous bulk. The line will also bring largely into use the valuable palmetto, and various other woods for agricultural and household purposes, and cabinet works. The mineral wealth of the country on the line is very considerable ; lead ore is extremely rich and heavily impregnated with silver ; whilst every variety of copper ore is found in abundance. Carbonate of lime, valuable as manure, &c., of which Long Mountain is com posed, will form a considerable item in the tables of traffic. The peculiarly favourable circumstances attending the construction of this Railway render it highly probable that a considerable portion of the capital demanded will not be required, as every material* necessary for its formation is to be found on the line, and should the atmospheric principle of propulsion be adopted, the necessity for cut tings and embankments will be generally superseded. , A gratuitous grant of the unappropriated land required for the line, and the free use of all the timber, stone, Bsc., necessary for its con struction, will, it is expected, he ceded by the Legislative Assembly ; —the mineral wealth, which may be developed by the construction of the line, will accompany the grants of the land, and may be leased to capitalists for the benefit of the Shareholders. Of the various imports, and the internal traffic, a satisfactory esti mate can scarcely be given—it will be snilicient to state, that Coals, Fish, Lime and Salt, empty Puncheons, iihingles, Bricks, Hoops, Lead, Timber, Provisions, Cattle, Flour, Tobacco, Hardwares, and Manufactures generally, form important 'sources of profit. The working expenses of the railway will require but a moderate per tentage, and from all the circumstances already stated, and care ful inquiries into the traffic, there can be no doubt that this line of railway will yield a very remunerative retuni upon the coital re quired, and the speedy communication established between the island and Great Britain, by means of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, will tenable the Directors in this country to exercise an efficient control over the management of the affairs of the island. The Committee propose to make provision in the Local Act for the payment of 44 per cent. interest upon the amount paid upon the shares from the passing of the Bill until the npeniitg of the tine, Applications for shares in the usual fonn may ho made to the Provisional Committee, at the offices •of the Company, 43, Moorgate-street ; to Messrs.

The Company, in addition to all the usual branches of Assurance Companies, offers to the public a new system of loans more beneficial to the borrower, and yielding a better return to the Shareholder than any system at present in use. Thus, any person effecting an assurance with this Company, can borrow the full amount of the sum secured by his policy, upon giving collateral security for the payment of an increased rate of premium, fixed by the tables of the Company, according to the age of the per son borrowing, and the amount borrowed, and interest on the loan, for a limited number of •years only, which will in effect repay the money borrowed, and maintain a policy on the , life of the borrower, and he will not, as in ordinary cases, be liable to be called upon to repay, in one sum, and by a given day, the principal money lent.

TAYLOR'S FLOATING BREAKWATER.—We regret to notice the exceedingly unsatisfactory nature of the reports which have been made to the Admiralty on the subject of Captain Taylor's floating breakwater off Brighton by the Coast-guard officers. These reports are embraced in a re turn which has been printed by order of the House of Com mons. It appears that for many months there was no gale from the south• west—the quarter necessary to test the powers and action of the breakwater, and when at last, on the 2d of August, a strong breeze sprang up, the experiment can hardly be said to have been really tried ; for the report of the Lieutenant of . the revenue cutter Tartar, whilst it states that the breakwater had no effect that he could Perceive, in part accounts for this result by saying that the sections of the breakwater were moored very slack, and the inspecting commander further observes, that " from the small number of sections laid down, also from those being so slackly moored and improperly placed, it is impossible to form any correct opinion of their efficiency for shelter, or whether they could stand the force of a gale, broadside on." More than three months previously Lieutenant Westbrook had in his official report objected to the insufficiency of the size of the breakwater, as too small to warrant any decided opinion ; he said "he much regretted being re quired to express an opinion upon so few as only three sections of only sixty feet long each." If it were worth while to examine the matter, it was worth while to have afforded means for trying it on a sufficient scale. That it is worth while to try the experiment fully we can hardly doubt, when we consider how vast a sum is about to be sunk In our southern harbours; and, if some time has been unpro fitably lost, it is but the stronger reason for taking a different course now. The comparative ease and rapidity with which a floating breakwater can be constructed is a strong argu ment for pursuing the inquiry into its efficiency ; for, sup posing that it should turn out that its efficiency also is merely comparative, it may yet be desirable to employ it whilst the more solid structure is in course of erection ; and when that object is effected, the floating breakwater may be allowed either to remain as an auxiliary to it, or may be transferred elsewhere to a station of less importance. The Admiralty ought scarcely to have needed Lieutenant Westbrook's hint; they might have known that 60 yards of floating breakwater, loosely moored, could not be expected to have any percejitible effect ; it was no more than an overgrown buoy, and the sea would merely play round it; but whose fault is it that a larger section was not presented to the action of the waves.? Surely, not that of Captain Taylor, who, we believe, has made every pecuniary . sacrifice for the success of his experiment, while the Admiralty have contented themselves with re maining cold spectators of his struggles. A breakwater of from one quarter to half a mile is the least that would indi cate the worth of the plan ; and when we consider the num ber and weight of the fieientific reasons that have been urged iu silppArt Of the %Anion that the action and influence of the Wind upon the sea are very superficial, we hope to see the experiment fairly tried.—Times. MELANCHOLY DEATH OF MRS. THEORAL.D.—This lady, so well known in the sporting wOrld, especially by those who hunt with the Queen's hounds, died on Saturday, at eight o'cifiek, in consequence of the injury she received on Fri ds,y by a t4ll from her horse. The facts of the case are these : —Mrs. Theobald, in company with a gentleman, on passing by the fields of Mr. Humphries, farmer, of Hanworth, made a request' to be allowed to try her horse over the stubble, which was readily granted. to entered, but had not gone far, when the horse pll, 4iAcl the crutch of her saddle breaking at the wile, time, she was thrown on her head with great violtinCe. She remained senseless for some time. Mr. Hum plies sent immediately for Mr. Hobarton, surgeon, of Hamp ton, who readily attended. He, however, from the first, saw that there existed no hopes of Mrs. Theobald's recovery. The unfortunate lady was removed to her residence at Feltham, and, as we have alreacky • stated, she died on Saturday, An inquest was yesterday afternoon held on the body before Mr. Pals • 'deputy-coroner for West Middlesex, when the jury returned a 'verdiet of" Accidental death. 1 ' 4 41, 0-.'''...:-.Z17-...1e ~ for the maiDtenance c"ropletiofi, as a sari to the trade of all lxilte 'their part in its tar delicacy, ia referent ()tell hobtile relations as 1141Yofnations), it is not e-eriain that an infant ret 4100gllotit all the neg 410 in this . a ffair, 8 tal existence, "'olin ess to sink degree mi nt she Present, in sit enligh ue must 6e ea derive tile ni established an tern hemisphere Nit and advantage- ( 'rhe States which h ave 1 4l claties and interes 'xoetnal trobles.
