This project is wholly In . ii vt, -~.,.. =MN THE SUN, LOWOON, WEDNESDAI EVENING OCTOBER 15, 1845. dependent of any ether line already befere the public, and as it postvsses national advantages which ::one can surpass, must, when. carried out, become, without exception, the most important railway in Crerit Britain. One of the first objects of this Company will be to obtain a most Central and accessible terminus in London, and Farringdon-street has I been fixed upon for that purpose. It is proposed to make a tunnel from that paint to the Great Western station, from whence the line will be continued in as direct a course as possible to itolyhead In its progress it will pass through or near to the following towns : — ltickmausworth, Chesham, Wendover, and Aylesbury; it will then proceed to within a short distance of Bleester and Deddinrton, and from thence to izanburY ; it will touch upon Kineton or Kingtown, thence proceed onward to Stratford-on-Avon, approach within a short distance of Warwick, Alcestcr, and Worcester, where it will cross the Binning,liam and Gloucester Railroad near to Bronisgrovs, and proceeding thence to Kidderminster, Bridgusrth, and Wenlock, 1 near to Broseley and Coalbrookdale, will enter the Vale of the Severn, which it will traverse to Shrewsbury; it will thence con tinue its route up the course of the Severn, and passing into the Vale of the River Vyrnwy, will proceed to Llan-y-mynech, Llanrhaladr, and Machnant, accommodating Welchpool, Oswestry, and Llangollen. At this point there arc three passes, which have been inspected, and it remains for the engineer to select one as au entrance or passage into the Vale of the River Dee, when the line will proceed round by Corwen into the Vale of the River Alweri, frcin whence it will run nearly parallel what the great Holyhead Mail-coach-road, by Pentre voelas to Capel Cerrig, it will then descend the Yale of Nant Francon to Bangor and Holyhead. • This line will in its progress feed, and be also fed by the most consi siderable railroads of the kingdom, particularly those of the Great Western ; the Birmingham, Gloucester, and Bristol; the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton ; the London and Birmingh am ; an d the South Staffordshire Palway. An this last line will connect Dudley, Bilston, Wedncsi,u Walsall, and Lichfield with the Derby Railway and the Grand Junction Railway, it would he superfluous to expatiate on the advantages if bring ing all those important centres of the coal and iron trade and other traffic, and the vast coal and iron fields of :Shropshire into close intercourse, and thus eeta'elisbing the cheapest and quickest means of transit between the minerals of Shropshire and the furnaces of hitaffordshire, and the markets of Dublin, London, and Birmingham. The success of the undertaking is secured beyond a doubt, by the eirrious fact that it will net only bring the richest mineral and manufacturing portions of England much nearer to the two capitals, but it will open for the carriage of the valuable pro duce of these districts the intermtefdate country not at present pee seated of any direct line of railway communication. Oa the other hand, the Grind London and Dublin Approximation Railway will gave to London awl the neighbourhood of Birmingham a route to Dublin shorter by nearly seventy miles than that of any other exist ing railroad ; and finally, enable t: avellers to complete the entire distance in ten hours. It will also ensure two mei] dellvoles In the day. Up to the point where the line approaches,CorweW, no engineering difficulties are presented. At Corseen a deviation from the straight line may be requisite to avoid tunnelling, after which a straight line will be resumed to Bangor, where. that already Lit construction will be adopted for the rest of the mato to Holyhead ; or, if found de sirable, power will ho taken in the Bill to continue en independent line by Realm:iris to Holyhead. Atter a czreful investigation of the traffic arit'ng from passengers, the conveyance of mineral and a‘ricultural produce, and the direct transmission of the mails, the Directors:lt.] warranted in anticipating a return of at least ten per cent. on the capital invested. A treaty is in progress with a Steam Navigation Company to run powerful steamers between the harbours of Hblyhead and Kingston on the arrival of the trains, so that passengers and merchandise may be booked throughout from London to Dublin, including all the inter mediate stations, and be thus enabled to cemplote the entire distance in ten hours, without theincon7enience so painfully felt of changing from the conveyance of one proprieta , y to that of another. The railways now in active pr gross In Ireland, ruunlng from Dublin north and south throughout the heart of the island, render it self evident that the chain of communkation lietween the sister countries !s, by this present unaertaking, re:Alered at once complete and intimab, to the last degree. As tho leading aim of this Company is to save time and distance, every attention of the DireOtor:T;, and every advancement in science wilt be made available to gain the Mmost possille amount of speed, com patible with safety, the lines being formed expressly for this end ; while, finally, the very lowest rate of fares will be adopted for bath passengers and traffic, and the peb:ic will find in the improvement of the inferior carriages, and some additi,nal cox:forts for those ofjhe first class, that the Grand London and Dunn Approximation Rail way will be placed in advance of any other now existing, and hi all its details will N rendered worthy an enterprise E 0 national in its character. Application will be made for a Bill to incorporate the Company early in the next session. The usual power will lie taken by the Act to allow interest at 4/. per cent. per a - num on the amount of the subscriptions paid up ; and no subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription.

SzeßsTAßT—Harry Rurrard iarnall, The Provisional Ccramittee of the North Loudon Junction Rail way Company have great satisfaction In informing their subscribers that negotiations are now pendinlr between the Provisional Commit tee of this Company and the Dtrectors of the Railways north of the Thames of such a character as to assure them that the City terminus of this Company will form the Grand Terminus of all the City truffle north of L,,ndon. To effect this important object, an area of 10 acres of gronsd (the southern boundary of 'which is within 500 yards of the Bank of England) has been most carefully surveyed and valued, and the re port ef the architect and engineer is of so favourable a character as to have induced the Provisional Committee de determine on purchasing the entire site, end it has, therefore, been resolved b.! them to in crease the capital of this Company to 1,300,000/. The Provisional Coatmittec consider it of paramount importance to secure within tha limits of their City terminus, the amplest anti most complete accommodation the the traffic of each of the railway companies who may co-operate with them, an object which will be effected by opening the very extensive and valuable space of ground alluded to, within the centre of the City of London. In conjunction with this enlarged plan, it is intended to embrace that of a branch line to the present station of the Eastern Counties Railway in ihoreditch, which will effect an entire junction between the eastern and western parts of the metropolis ; and at the same tirae atiord a direct communication between the whole of the rail ways, which roach Loudon lathe north of the Thames, and give full development to each of their schemes by creating for them a common centre within the heart of the metropediS. Independently, therefore ' of the almost incalculable local trains which the position of thelr City terminus wilt ensure to this Com pany, will he added that of those companies also who will eventually co-operate with the North London Junction Railway Company, and the perfection of a project of no ordinary magnitude and importance will bu realised throughout the whole of this short but very valuable line of railway. . lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the entire district throegh which this Company proposes to run this Rise; by this means the most casual oh, erver will be enabled to ascertain that the environs of London, north of the Thames, will be placed in immediate communication with the City ; while the dense popu lation of the City will enjoy a Ilse; ity of connexion with its suburban localities, necessarily an sting it the 'greatest accommodstion. With such important local resources, therein e, together with the 'vast traffic on which the skarehollers of this Company have a right to rely for profit, a large amount of revenue may be fairly and justly anticipated, fully commensurate with the outlay of the proposed capital. That revenue will bo derived thus : The daily passenger traffic on the Great Western amounts to 3,45, one-half of which reaches the City. The London and Bir mingham amounts to 4,322 daily, two-thirds of which reacts the City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,203 persons daily, half of whom pass to the West-end of London. The omnibus traffic daily is 30,894 passengers, two-thirds of which may be given to the City. Passengers irons the suburban districts reaching the City, now un accommodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily. From these sources the following' products are derived: rer Ann.

This railway will commence at the important town of Wolver hampton, proceeding through or ncsr to Seisdon, Trysnll, and Chi vcrly, to the manufacturing town of Bridgnorth : from thence it will continue through a rich agricultural and populous district to Lud low, and there fall into other projected lines to all parts of England, North and South Wales, and Ireland, a distance of about thirty-two miles. It will afford direct communication between Ludlow, 13ridgnorth, and Wolverhampton, Dudley, &c. ; and, by the South Staffordshire Junction Railway give to those towns and districts the most direct route for passengers - and ,goods to and from the Central, Nortl• Eastern, and Eastern parts of the Kingdom, and from which those towns have hitherto been excluded by every project of the day. It will convey to the agricultural districts of Herefordshire and South Sinop:hire, and also to the towns of Bridgnorth and Ludlow, coals and the mineral productions of Staffordshire, Worcestershire, ant the Clec-hills, at nearly one-half the present cost of those neces sary articles, and be:the means of conveyance for corn, cattle, sheep, cider, wool, hops, and other agricultural productions, as also timber from the before-mentioned agricultural counties, to the heart of the mining and manufacturing districts, which cannot fail to produce an immense traffic. .„.. To the towns embraced in this rile, the value of obtaining thereby, at the cheapest rate, coal and the necessules of life, will be of the utmost importance. One principal feature in this projection is, that as either Ludlow or Pridgnortit will lie in the direct route of one of the projects to be pro posed to Parliament in the next session, for the most direct commu nicat!en between Treland and the Metropolis, this line will thereby _ - afford to passengers the easisticommunication to and from the central parts of the kingdom. It is satisfactory to the promoters to state, that they have the sanction of the Grand Junction Company, and the co-operation of the Fihrewsimryf Wolverhomptost, and Eouth Staffordshire Junction, and the South Staffordshire Junction Companies, and that no project has been announced in competition with its acknowledged claim on public suoport.. . . _ _ The whole line is free from engineering difficulties, and can he eon strutted at a moderate cost, and has obtained the approval of the landed interest, whose ornamental properties have been strictly protected. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the Company will be under the direction and control of the Committee of Management, who are hereby empowered to enter into such ar rangements as shall best serve the interests of this Company and the Public, with existing or projected companies, and also to nominate the first directors of the Company. . _ Power will be taken under the Act to limit the responsibility of Shareholders to the amount of their subscription, and to allow four per cent. interest on the calls. Preference to tlia allotment of shares will be given to those locally interested, and to the shareholders of lines in connexion with this.

This Railway is projected for the purpmt of uniting the Rhondda and Ely Wallies, with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles (Us tones from the Pert of Cardifi'; and to open a new mineral district, one of the richest and moat important ha South Wales, which is at prcaent without the me.ms of transit for its immense and valuable products. _ _ It will pass through the central portion of the great coal-field. of Glaniorganshire, where iron-stone also abounds with the coal is Im mense quantitios, and laying, geologically speaking, nearly flat, and, obtainable, 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 Aberdare, is also, like that of those districts, of the very best desiriptian for steam purposes, being nearly smokeless, although inflammable, indeed so pre-eminently is the superiority of this de scription of coal established for steam purposes over any other, that the demand for it tar exceeds the supply, and promises, accord ing to the opinion of the most eminent marine - engineers, to super sede all others for purpeses of steam navigation. This source of traffic alone will afford a handsome rotors 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 vallies in Wales than the Rhondda, which is cele brated for the abundance, quality, and facility of obtaining its pro ductions. An inexhaurdlhle supply of llme stone (so neeevary for the manu facture of iron and for agricultural purposes) may he obtained by means of this Railway, much 'rarer and cheaper than by auy other This line will afford to the Incroasing population of the rich caleo •f Ely and Rhondda a nmch desired communication with the great market towa and port of Cardiff, from whence, at present, they m a y be said to bo ahnost exciuded. It is intended that the line shall commence at Men Rhondda, the head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down by a natural pass between the hills at Irfrwil Amws, a distance of eight miles, where it will enter the Ely Valley and proceed down (a further distance of sir mileo to Lanclay-bridge, near Lantrissent, anal there join the South Wales Railway, thus opening a communication tinder the most advantageous circumstances its to disttutce, with all the ports in the Bristol channel. A preliminary survey has already bun made by competent par ties, and it is found that the country admits sr highly favourable gradients, so much so that it is confidently anticipated that the works will be executed very comitlerably under the advertised ca pital. The landowners along the line are favourable to this undertaking, and the narats of many influential proprietors will be foLaad on the Provisional Committee. , . No Subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of kis de posit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount et his subscription. • Until an Ast of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Company shall be under the control of the Managing Director., to whom power Is given to allot the Shares, and to apply the funds 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 submittal 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 er 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.

To remedy the evils of delay and inconverienee to which parties are, at the present time, necessarily stthjeeted in proceeding from the west end of the metro polis to Croydon, or the most distant places on the South-Eastern and London and Brighton Railways, as well as the several sea-ports and pocket-stations on the coasts of Kent and Sussex; aud 2d. To supply to the numerous and wealthy inhabitants of the district tlasouah which the intended line will pass (at present wholly with wit railway accommodation), a greatly improved means for the in terchange of coinmunicatiou with the metropolis, and with each other. Commenciag at the intended terminus of the South-Western Rail wao, at Flungerford or Waterloo -bridge, the line will take the most practicable route to Kennington, from thence it will follow as near as possible the old turnpike road, passing through cr near to the wealthy and populous districts of Stockwell, Clapham, Brixton, Tulse Streatham, Norwood. Beulah, and Thornton-heath, effect ing a junction at Croydon with the several existing or projected lines from that place. It is also proposed to form a branch or branches from the neigh bourhood of Streatham to Mitcham and Tooting, and thus to exit nd to thoso places, and their respective neighbourhoods, the advantaass of a direct railway communication with the metropolis. A great portion of the traffic in passengers and goods upon the Brighton and Dover lines is supplied from the west-end of London and the Birmingham and Great Western Railways. The necessity of pioccecling to the station at Londen-bridge, anti by the present circuitous route to Croydon, is a serious and unnecessary inconveni ence, entailing additional expense and delay. The removal a 11,5 s long-felt grievance is a leading object with the promoters of the pre sent undertaking. They deem it right, however, to observe, in I:ly ing this scheme before the public, that they Jun , no des:re , to inter , - fere with existing railway interests, further than Is absolutely n di assistance to, and in return endea vour to secure It, fro at each 1 cons pany with which this line may ultimate l y be emmee j Or arm of the A glance lit the map will show, that /is a branch to yield pensable, but that on the other hand it will be their &Joe London and Brighton Railway, thi s u naertaking completes a straight line of communication f rom the west end of London to Croydon, Reigate, and Brighton , a nd renders the ports of Dover and roike• stone, as well as the several places on the South-Eastern line, more easily accessible from that part of the metropolis. The grey =mit QI traffic at the present time upon the roads be• e tween Croydon, Mitcham, Tooting, Sz.c., and London. proves at once that the existing railway facilities do not at all meet the exigencies 1 of the mass of p opu l a ti on to whom this l i ne will be available. The population who reside upon or in the immediate nolglibour hood of the proposed line, independent of the metropolis, and between the intended termini, exceeds 100,000, whose .wants are almost wholly supplied from the London markets, &c., and who have, at the present time, no mode Of conveyance bat upon the turnpike read. In the transit of building materials, corn. coal, lime, and other heavy goods, from the warehouses and wharfs on the banks of the Thames, and for marketable produce in each direction, this lino must_ become to th em part i cularly useful and convent, nt. Some idea may be formed ef the local necessity of this railway, when it is known that the number of passengers who avail themselves of the accommodation afforded by the several omnibuses and other pub (vehicles, running upon the turnpike-road, have been ascer tained to exceed 2,600 daily. An equal number (at least) proceed by private and other conveyances. Of foot paseengers, although no accurate estimate can be formed of them, it is considered that they at least number four times that of rassengers who travel by con veyance. The tonnage of goods ids calculated will be in full pro portion to the receipt from passengers. Experience ha.s fully proved, that on however liberal a scale the probability of future traffic in the transit of goods and passengers has been judged, almost every line ef railway has, upon its completion, vastly execeded the calculated amount. There arc, however, in ti's instance, reasons for supposing that the extended facilities of corn ! munication will cause more than an ordinary increase in the con veyance of passengers. The country which the line of railway will open is singularly picturesque and beautiful, and in addition to the admired districts of Brixton and Streatham, the long-favoured and much-frequented Beulah and Norwood IN in be placed within easy access, and become more than ever, objects of Interest and delight to the visitor and resident of the metropolis. There can therefore be little doubt but that the present line must become a profitable and eligible scheme for the investment of capital. The promoters of this tuidertaking have pleasure In announcing that it is approved of, and will he generally supported by local in fluence. They have caused a partial survey to be made, which will be completed shortly, and they have the assurance of their engineers that there are not more titan ordinary difficulties to contend with. The liability of the shareholders will be restricted, by Act of Barlia meet, to the amount of their subscriptions; and power will he ael:lied for in the Bill to allow interest at 41. per cent. per eleven ou all calls from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line.

The establishment of the above railway will effect two great and important ajtcts :—first, the supply of the metropolis and its vicinity with coal fully twenty per cent. cheaper than by the pre. sent mode of transit : secondly, by the exclusion of passenger traffic to diminish the risk of accidents. The Booed of Trade, in reference to the latter, have in their report upon the subject, laid great • stress on the importance of separating the passenger from goods trains ; and the Select Committee on the Coal Trale recommend that every means of promoting a new supply of coal should be encouraged. The existing lines from the north being already crowded to excess with trains of every class, travelling at velocities varying from fifteen to fifty miles per hcur, and new railways being almost daily projected as feeders to the great trunk lines, the already prodigious traffic on those lines must he still further augmtnted ; so that it may be truly assumed, that the addition thereto of several millions of tons of coals and goods is out of the question. It, therefore, becomes manifestly necessary, with a view to public convenience, and to supply the xretrapelis and the intermediate districts with coals from the coal fields in the north (from which at present the greater proportion is supplied) that an indeperdent railway, devoted exclusively to the conveyance of coals and goods at a moderate and regular speed, should be constructed from Nev..castle to London. It is, therefore, intended to confine this railway to carriage of coals and goods only; and it is ascertained that the conveyance by railway of large quantities, for long distances, at a moderate speed, and at comparatively low rates, will be as profitable as the carriage of passengers at a greater velocity, The actual ex perience of the London and Birmingham Bailv:ay affords a safe ground for calculation; the expenses on that line for the year 1844 being 1,4721. per mile; at the same rateper mile, 2,000,000 tons of coal annually may be brought the entire distance from Newcastle; this quantity is about one-half of the present importation from London, making on the average from 13,000 to 14,000 tons • daily. The extreme fluctuations to which the price of coal is subject ftom irregularity in the supply, dependent as it is on the uncer tainty of the winds and weather, has hitherto operated against the estabishment of manufactories on the banks of the Thames. From the same cause. also, London haa, at times narrowly escaped total darkness, the gas works not being able to obtain their regular supply of coals. In the course of the last five years the prices of household coal, on the Coal Exchange, have fluctuated between 14s. 6d. to 275. per ton, and last winter the price rose even to 355. per ton ; the high prices always occurring at a season when the scarcity, and consequently increased pricy of coal, is most distress ing to the poor. The removal of the colliers from the Pool is an important con sideration, as it will necessarily render the navigation of the Thames safer for all other vessels: and it is no valid objection to this undertaking, that it will supersede, in a great measure the employment of collier ships, because it is now ascertained, be. yond al doubt, that coals can be brought to London by railway at 20 per cent less than those sea-borne; and, therefore, London will be supplied from Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and South Wales, unless the present project, or one offering equal advantages to the northern coal-owners, in their certain and fast approaching competition with the Infant collieries, be carried into effect. In addition to the through traffic, accommodation will be afforded to the intermediate districts for the conveyance of coals and goods, which will meerially increase the revenue of the Company. The estimated cost of the line is 5,000,0001, and the traffic, in coals alone, will give a net return of 10 per cent. It is proposed to raise the required capital in 200,000 shares of 251. each ; deposit V. 12s. 6d. per share, the subsequent cars to be made in the usual way. The customary clauses will be inserted in the Act, limiting the liability of the shareholders to the amount . of their respective shares. Interest, at the rate of I per cent, per annum will be allowed on all calls between the passing of the Act and the opening of the railway, Prospectuses, with fuller information and in detail, together with Forms of Application, may be obtained on applying to the Solicitors of the Company, Messrs. Sutton, Ewcns, Ommanney, and Prudence, 6, Basinghall street ; or to the Secretary, at the Corn pany's Offices, 50s, King William-street; to Messrs. B. and M. Boyd, Ntw Bank-buildings, and Messrs.

This undertaking is dcsigned to supply the wants of an exten sive mineral and populous district, the local traffic of which alone is admitted to be sufficient to support a railway, and amply re munerate the shareholders. The line will not only accomplish so desirable an object, but it also poscesses the advantage of fovaning a street communicatien, by the shortest possible route (in connexion with existing, and projected railways), between two sof the most important divisions of the kingdom. It is intended to commence by joining the Grand Junction Railway at Staftbrd, and proceed by the Uttoxeter, Rochester, and Ashbou-ne, to a junetion with the Midland Railway, the Man. cheater, Buxton, Matlock, and Midland Railway, and the Amber. gate, Nottingham, Bo ton, and Eastern Anction Railway, at the General Terminus at Amber-gate; a chart branch from Wirks. worth will connect the line with that town, and the important limestone and mineral district connected with it. The line will be about forty miles long, and by its connection with the Midland Railway at Ambmt•-gate, and the Derby and Crewe Railway at U:.- toreter,l will be Cie nearest practicable route from Sheffield, York, Leeds, Hull, the populous manufacturing districts of Yorkshire and the north and north eastern part of England, to the salt districts of Cheshire, the Potteries, Liverpool and North Wales, and by its junction at Stafford with the Shropshire Union Railway, will be the neare st some from those important districts to Shrewsbury and South Wa'es, and by the Grand Junction Railway, to the densely populated districts of South Staffordshire. The district is destitute of water communication, and it is only necessary to advert to a few of the prominent resources of the country to show the ma: ; nitude of the local traffic. The price of coals on all parts of the line is very high, being carted a distance of 10 to 15 miles. The cost of this indispensable atticte of consumption will, be reduced nearly one-half, and this line will immediately communicate with the Derbyshire and Staf fordshire coal-fields. The line will pass several valuablz quarries of Derbyshire marble which is extensively tre.l in all parts of the kingdom; and also numerous lead-smelting works and rolling mills, producing large quantities of pig and sheet lead. It will aflbrd an inexhaustible supply of lime for the highly cultivated land on the banks of the Dove and Southward. It will open the Derbyshire mines to the Zinc Smelting 'Works in the neighbourhood of Cheadle, and will afford a direct communication with Sheffield for the articles manu factured at those works, which at present are cartod to Derby, a di dance of more than twenty miles. Already a large cattle traffic exists with the north, which will unquestionably be greatly augm ented by the facilities of this rail way, large importations of Scotch and Yorkshire cattle will be brought trir fattening on the luxuriant pastures of the Dove, tak ing in return to the markets of the manufacturing towns, the corn a cheese,this raii w v :o y l . , and n l will other bri r n if g od t h u e ce al o r f ea t d h y e l extensiveand e a nnd eattlefairs n fe u r a t gr o cultural district which surrounds the Staffordshire terminus o f of TheUtt o iron n era n n ri d a c A es s h o bo r suorunteh s in t t a o fn g i r r e d a s t h e i r r e consumeimportance. ; tn than uant ihtaylfexacemed a illion m t iu on io s n oi to l n ir . estlotnies: well ie known estimates that make the iron quantity masters give a decided preference to the limestone at the south of the Peak, eves any other that has hitherto been tried; the very g fi r u e x a t for fusibility red uinogf the this stubbornston renderinge iron were it not for the dilatory and peculiarly kinds. The suitable as a ores of South Staffordshire, and e ghall, it would now be used to the total exc e l a u e s s l proximity of Froghall, exclusion n f transit n a s l t etherfrom this railway to the iron district, the tact ofits entering the limestone range at tie most southern extremity, and the advantage of excavating the stone immediately on the line of rails, cannot but ensure to it a very large share of that enormous traffic, if it do not engross the whole. The cost of the stone and expenses of delivery by the canal from Froghall to the iron district, amount to is. per ton, and by this railway, alter allowing a remu. nerative toll, would be laid down at less than 4s- per ton, The visitors to Dovedale and the Peak arc already very nu merous. When this line and the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midland Junction Railway open this romantic scenery to the indus rious artissns who chiefly compose the great hives of popu lati: n with which this railway will communicate, and make it easily accessible to this class o persons at a trifling sem ifice bth of time an d money, the revenfue.trom this source along during the rummer months will be found to be of no inconsiderable amount. r e d c onvinced that this railway conta'ns the ee meTothreof great preeperity, and that as an investment it offers more than ordinary security. The la; downers on the line are favonrable to this underta‘ing, and the names of ninny influential proprietors will be found on the Provisional Committee. _ . _ Arrangements Lave bean made with the Derby and Crewe Rail way Company, who take a portion of the capital, and give the line their support and co-operation. The Committee of Management are fortunate in having so cut..d the valuable se vices of Mr. Locke, as consulting engineer, and of Mr. Meeke, as resident engineer, who have assured the corn. mittee that the plans at:d surreys will he ready for application to Parliament the next session.
