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 Sbeepshead, to Pegs 0 ,- een 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 across the Moira Coal-field and through the rich agricultural districts of Seal,CliftonCampville, and Edingale, to the Birmingham and Derby Railway, which it will cross near to Elford Park Farm, and thence traverse the Valley of the Tatne until it reaches Airewas, where it will form a junction with the branch of the Trent Valley line now in progress of making. At this looint it also meets the proposed South Staffordshire line, by which means it reaches Lichfield, and by means of one of the proposed lines it will afford communication with Bir mingham. From Loughborough the line will be farther continued to A sfordby on the Syston and Peterborough Railway, now in progress, and by means of this latter line, a direct intercourse will be opened with Melton Mowbray and the various towns through which that route passes to Peterborough. By means of its junction with the Trent Valley line at Alrewas, the Grand Trunk reaches Colwich, and there meets the proposed North Staffordshire line, which proceyds through the heart of the Potteries to Newcastle-under-Lyne, Leel c, and Macclesfield. By means also If the same Trent Valley lb se at Alrewas the Grand Trunk pro ceeds through Rugeley to Stafrord, thus comoieting its route, and forming a connecting line between the Midland and Grand Junction Railways. This branch of the. Roe was formerly surveyed by Mr. Rastrick, and approved of by him as a canal communication, so that no engineering difficulties exist. The second line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the Derby station, and taking the cot use of the Derby Canal proceed to Chellaston, where there are ext:ensive plaster-works, and thence by Swarkestone to the river T rent, which it will cross near to the ferry at Weston Cliffe, and so proce'•d to Kings Newton and Melbourne. From the latter place it will pass by the village of Wilson to Breedon-on-th e-Hill, where there are extensive lime-works, and thence proceed b y Staunton Harold, communicat ing by a branch line with the lea. I, lime, and coal works there ; thence by the Leant 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-Zouch. At Ashby-de-la-Zouch the Grand Trunk forms a junction wills the proposed Nottingham and Birminghem, 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 Rallway,s, and by its branch from Derby to Ashby-de-la-Zonch 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 o f 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 IKennel to a depth of seven feet, with a super stratum of main coal to a depth of six feet. The sub stratum is yet to be worked. There are beds of Kennel and main coal at Cole Orton of equal quality, though not of equal depth with those of Staunton Harold, whilst the main coal at Swannington is un rivalled, being, in fact, the bowl of thus Leicestershire and Derbyshire coal strata. It is needless to describg, the beneficial results which must arise from this opening of the midland coal district to the Lon don and southern markets. At Staunton Harold and Calke exist rich veins of lead ore, now in full course of working. The properties of the Breedon, Staunton Harold, and Ticknall lime are so well known to agriculturists and others, that an extension of traffic for so valuable a commodity into mire remote districts must be of the utmost importance to the practical farmer. In approaching the Trent, on leaving the lime district, the Grand Trunk will fall in with most valuable quarries of millstone grit, ear viceable for paving and building purposes, and fer which a ready market would be found along the line. The country 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 Chellaston. A new and extensive outlet will also be opened for the earthenware of Wooden Box and Griesley Potteries. Until the Act of Parliament be obtained, the affairs will be under the control of the Committee of Management, to whom power is given to allot the shares and apply the funds of the Company in payment of all proper expenses in the formation of the Company and otherwise. Power will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime the Committee of Management take power, to alter or extend the lines, to make branch lines, to abandon any part of the line, to raise addi tional capital, and to enter into arrangements with any other Com pany or Companies.

The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway is a direct line from London to Manchester, coming from London to Rugby, along the London and Birmingham line, and proceeding from Rugby to Hinck ley through Market-Bosworth and Ashby-de-la-Zouch, to Derby, thence to Ashboume, by Leek to Macclesfield, and along the Mac clesfield and Stockport, and Stockport and Manchester Railways, into Manchester. A branch to Buxton is in contemplation. The principle of this railway is to obtain a direct through line be tween some of the most important districts in the kingdom with the least possible amount of new railway, and, consequently, the smallest expenditure of capital. It will also establish the shortest direct communication between Derby and London, Sheffield and London, and between all the towns on the North Midland Railway and London. The Manchester, Derby, and Rugby Railway, will open a direct communication between Manchester and Derby, and will consider ably shorten the distance between Manchester and Nottingham and Manchester and Leicester. The line from Derby to Rugby will establish the direct communi cation from that town to London, which has been so long considered desirable by the inhabitants. The same will apply to Sheffield, when the Sheffield and Chester field branch of the North Midland Railway is made. The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, in connexion with the Oxford and Rugby, and Oxford, Southampton, and Gosport Rail way, forms a direct Manchester and Southampton line. THE GREAT ADVANTAGES Of the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, over the other pro jects into Manchester, among oth.rs, are— First. That there are only seventy-five miles of railway to be made in place of one hundred and eighty-nine. Second. That it is a more direct line floor London to Manchester than even the proposed direct lines. Third. That it interferes with no existing railway property or vested interests. Fourth. That it passes through a District rich in manufactures, agriculture, and minerals, but which—more especially as regards its agricultural produce, and a convenient system of intercommunica tion for the conveyance of that agricultural produce, to supply the large manufacturing towns in thevicinity—has been hitherto lett to tally without railway communication.

TO SCRIPHOLDERS. In consequence of modifications of this line, rendered necessary by the decisions of Parliament in the late session, and of the increase of the Parliamentary deposit required by the New Standing Orders, the Provisional Committee find it necessary to call in the scrip hitherto issued, for the purpose of replacing it by new scrip, to require an ad ditional deposit of I2s. per share, and to cause new deeds to be pre pared for the signature of the Proprietors. Parties to whom scrip has been issued are acconlingly requested to send in their scrip, on or before the first day of October next, to the Secretary. New letters of allotment will at once be issued to such of the present holders of scrip so sent in, as were original subscribers for their shares; but where the scrip has changed hands, satisfactory references as to the responsibility of the holders will be required by the Directors before new letters of allotment can be issued ; on the additional deposit being paid (in accordance with the new letters of allotment), and the new deeds being executed, the new scrip will be issued. On and after the 10th of October next, t he present scrip (unless i shall have been sent in to the Secretary, and received by him pre viously to that day) will be considered as cancelled, and the shares it represents will be re•allotted. Parties sending scrip are requested to write their names across each scrip certificate for the sake of security, and to send by a post letter, at the same time that they send their scrip, a list of the numbers of the scrip they have dispatched, with their own name, residence, and (it - necessary) that of their references, attached in full to the end of such list.

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 :—another proje,t 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 st a ti ons on that coast, is now no longer doubtful. This undert a ki ng will com plete a series of great avenues of iron -road, whose ramification from Worcester will render every part of the kingd om directly accessible from that city. Passing up the Severn V ale, where Sittouwriliportd,isacnlodseproaceesduicncgestshioennee through fP oug icturesque scenes, it reaches Kidderminste r , 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 sth ar b r i dge a 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 give employment to a population of about 15,000. Pass- Venlock, Brosel Pass ing through or near to Much 1 eY, 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 places 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 passing through or near Malpas, have its northern terminus in the city of Chester. . - in estimating the probable : mount of revenue whi c h the Worees ter and Chester Railw a y may be expected to yield, many sources of profit present themselves, such are the dense population loc a t e d along the length of the Severn Vale, and the enriching works of i n d ustry In which they are e ngage d. Amongst the latter may be menti one d the ehina 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 Colebrock 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 labouring popula tion being familiar with mining operations, will be found better qualified for the execution of railway works here than in many:other localities. _ _ ♦s a link in the railway network of England, or as auxiliary to 0444 or projected lines paadoir to TitriQUe direction', few -. .11L•••-•• , -- rt-Insr tisl.

This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda and Ely Vallies, with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles dis tance il•om the Port of Cardiff; and to open a new mineral district, one of the richest and most important in South Wales, which is at present without the means of transit for its immense and valuable products. _ It will pass through the central portion of the great coal-field of Glamorganshire, where iron-stone also abounds with the coal in im mense quantities, and laying, geologically speaking, nearly flat, and, obtaina',le, for the most part, by proper levels. The coal in addition to its being of excellent quality for iron making, as is proved at Mer thyr and Aberdeen, is also, like that of those districts, of the very best description for ,team purposes, being nearly smokeless, although inflammable, indeed so pre-eminently is the superiorityepf this de scription of coal established for steam purposes over any other, that the demand for it far exceeds the supply, and promises, accord ing to the opinion of the most eminent marine engineers, to super sede all others fer purposes of steam navigstinn. This source of traffic alone will afford a handsome return for the capital invested, as has been demonstrated in every instance where even tram-roads or canals have been constructed to open the mineral resources of other less promising 'rallies in Wales than the Rhondda, which is cele brated for the abundance, quality, and facility of obtaining its pro ductions. An inexhaustible supply of limestone (so necessary for the manu facture of iron and for agricultural purposes) may be obtained by means of this Railway, much nearer and cheaper than by any other line. This line will afford to the increasing population of the rich Tales of Ely and Rhondda a much desired communication with the great market town and port of Cardiff, from whence, at present, they may be said to be almost excluded. It is Intended that the line shall commence at Blaen Rhondda, the head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down to a natural pass between the hills at Ffrwd Amws, a distance of eight miles, where it will enter the Ely Valley and proceed down (a further distance of six miles) to Lanelay-bridge, near Lantrissent, and there join the South Wales Railway, thus opening a communication under the most advantageous circumstances as to distance, with all the ports in the British channel. A preliminary survey has already been made by competent par ties, and it is found that the country admits of highly favourable gradients, so much so that It is confidently anticipated that the works will be executed very considerably under the advertised ca pital. The landowners along the line are favourable to this undertaking, and the names of many influential proprietors will be found on the Provisional Committee. No Subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of his de posit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Company shall be under the control of the Managing Directors, to whom power is given to allot the Shares, and to apply the thuds of the Company in payment of all the expenses incurred in its forma tion, and in the preparation of the plans and sections to be submitted to Parliament. Power will be applied for in the Act (and in the meantime is hereby given to the Managing Directors as above), to raise any addi tional capital, to extend or abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, or enter into any arrangements, by amalgamation or otherwise, with any other company or companies, and also to nomi nate the first Directors of the Company. In the allottment of Shares, a preference will be given to landowners on the line and other parties locally interested. Prospectuses and Maps may be had of, and applications for shares, may be addressed in the form annexed to, W. B. James, Esq., Solicitor, 5, Basinghall-street, London; to W.

This Company 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 188 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 existing 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 connect more immediately two such important towns, especially when these towns about D erb y 26 onlyli miles,s6 laorceabliutites, as be the asfocir,ore ad it were, for to. The The distance also from Manchester to Leek (where the proposed other railways from still more distant railway will unite with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) will staa be ng ar e t , 3 , o ho m le iles di , miles ; and thus diminishing the distance by any present communi cation between those important towns by about 28 miles, an o bj ect most desirable to be attained, and of itself quite sufficient t o recom nndee fromfrom Leek Manchester o Derby to 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 will also be the most direct route from Liverpool to London. The distance from Liverpool to Leek (the proposed point of junc 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 g reattio importance of the towns propo se d t o b e b roug ht i n t o co mmunication with each other, in order to con v i nce th e m i n d s o f all that the sour ce of revenue thus derived will be immense. the line. de on the share be me The deeds will provide that no call i s ha! thel til Act of Parliament is holders beyond the deposit now paid u , Act to allow 41. per cent. taken in the obtained, and power will be interest on all calls. prospectuses,maps, and shares, may be There are no engineering difficulties connected with the f ormin g of Applications for detailed aw., 7 King William-street, City, made to the Secretary , at the o London ; and at 22, Sutton, Gribble, and Sutton, 22, North Sharebrokers:—Messrs.

The haportance of connecting remote parts of England by Rail ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns and districts, can scarcely be better exemplified than by the Line which is now 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 north-west, 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::rse of Railway from the north-eastern parts of the island, requires the appliance now suggested to effect a complete means of transit to the western and south-western counties. The Oxford and ,Salisbury Direct Railway, in addition to the benefits which will be conferred upon the nation at large, by preferring a direct line of communication be tween the north-eastern and western and south-western parts of England, will afford t. the borough of Abingdon, the market towns of Wantage, Hungerford, and Ludgershall, and the adjacent villages, an important railway accommodation, of which the agricultural districts in which they are seated stand in much need, and will provide a facility for the interchange of produce be tween the rural, manufacturing, and commercial population 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 Hungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits and advantages produced by railway traffic. It has therefore been determined to commence the propoSedil 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, Hungenord and Ludgers hall to Salisbury, and thence to the south and western ports and dis tricts.

This line will commence at the Long Eaton station of the Midland Counties Railway, and will proceed in a direct 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 line. 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 bide, at the same time supplying a rich mineral and agricultural district with railway advantages. A reference to the map will show that this railway will also COM mend 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 fill up the railway chasm 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 Dock Company being now determined on, a large amount of capital will be expended in rendering Great Grimsby a port of the first importance; end it 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 fourteen miles ; and between Birmingham and Nottingham (by either of the projected lines from Birmingham to Leicester) the saving will be about ten miles. Being so much the shortest route from Birmingham to to Not tingham and Lincoln, it must secure the traffic from Birmingham rimsby ; and Nottingham, Newark, Lincoln, and the port of Great G by joining with the Erewash Valley district south command the tra ffi c from Coventry, Warwick, north of England Eaton, it must communicationa between Not of those towns to Sheffield, Leeds, generally. It will also afford a dire a c r % v ic Worcester, by means tingham and the district between.l an dßugby, and the Warwick Warwick, of the projected Worcester, York , and Longth.E. and Worcester Railways. The entire length of line will be about 28 miles. The Corn pany's Engineer has completed his preliminary surve y, and has made his report, that the character of the country through which the line is intended to pass is unusually favourable for engineering purpos a c ss s. e. directly through a very pr I oductive mineral district, in terstecPthig 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 traffic, tfie profits on the small capital required cannot fail to be highly re munerative. __ Powers for allowance of interest at four per cent. on the paid-up capital will be taken, and the liability of shareholders limited to the amount of their subscriptions.
