The proposed railway will commence at Rugby, on the London and Birmingham Railway, the terminus of the Midland Counties and Trent Valley Railways, and the point to which several other projected railways converge, and will proceed through er near to Leamington, Warwick, Stratford-on-Avon, Evesham, Tewkesbury, and Cheltenham, to Gloucester. The length of the line will ba about 86 miles. The advantages that will result from the construction of this line are numerous and highly important, and such as cannot fail to secure a very large amount of local and through traffic, and a highly-re munerative return upon the capital invested. By means of existing and proposed railways, it will form a complete chain of railway com munication between the whole of the midland and north-eastern counties ofEngland, the populous cities and towns before-named, and the southern and western districts, and thus bring Leicester, Not tingham, Newark, Lincoln, Galnsborough, Great Grimsby, and Hull, into direct communication with the favourite and fashionable spas of Leamington and Cheltenham, the richly-productive and far-famed Vale of Evesham, and the seaports of Gloucester, Bristol, Plymouth, and Falmouth, and those of South Wales. The inhabitants and visitors of the much-frequented watering places of Leamington and Cheltenham, will thus obtain a direct line between those resorts, instead of the present circuitous route through Birmingham, affording that facility of intercommunication which has long been ardently desired ; and it will also afford the utmost fa cility of access to the innumerable visitors who, attracted as well by the beauty of the scenery as the memory of Shakspeare, annually res.)rt to Stratford-on-Avon. To those passengers from the east and north-east, direct to Gloucester, the line from Tewkesbury, cutting off the angle of the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway to Cheltenham, will afford a great accommodation, and a saving in distance of at least eight miles, besides the delay of the stoppage at Cheltenham. At Tewkesbury it will also form a junction with the proposed line from that plate to Malvern, affording the :host direct communication to the numerous visitors to the magnificent scenery and invigorating atmosphere of the celebrated Malvern-hills. To the inhabitants of the ancient and populous borough of Tewkes bury, this portion of the proposed line will prove immensely advan tageous ; situated within ten miles of the important city and port of Gloucester, they have nevertheless to travel by the present railway route nearly twice that distance, an inconvenience which has already materially affected the trade, and prejudiced the Interests of the town. The proposed line, running close to the town, will remove this great !neon; enience, and restore its trade to its former state of prosperity. The value of this line to the city and port of Oloncester cannot be too highly estimated, as it will not only open to it immense sources of traffic from tho whole of the eastern and north-eastern counties, but will very materially lessen the distance between it and Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire, making Gloucester still more securely the nearest and most accessible outlet for the whole of that immensely productive manufacturing region ; and it is impossible to conceive any project better Calculated to ce the interests of Glouctster N than One capable of feet that object. This line will also form an important junction between the London and Birmingham :and atidiands Railways, and the Bristol and Gloucester Railway, and constitute the highway for the trete of the former, and of all the north-eastern railways, to the proposed Man chester and Southampton Railway at Cheltenham; and the through traffic front the latter source alone is expected to be very great:, It will thus have the effect of connecting the ports of the eastern and north-eastern with those of the western and southern coasts ; of affording the most direct and convenient access from the north and east to the vast mineral regions of South Wales, and of opening new markets for the rich products of the fertile valleys of the Avon and Sarong, and the agricultural districts of Warwickahire and Wor cestershire, in the manufacturing towns and ports of the north. • Tha line will be easy of construction, traversing, as it does, through nearly its whole length, the valleys of the Avon and Severn. The towns through which it will run are very populous, and the country of the richest description ; and the local traffic will consequently be the through traffic, which on such a line mustry g rea tnecu s h a i r a ny dd b it e in v n to eryye The Provisional Coqunittee reserve to themselves the pcwer to amalgamate with any other company as to the whole or any part of the line, and to vary or extend the line, and to increase or diminish the capital accordingly, if deemed expedient. The capital proposed to be raised is 1,000,000/., in shares of 201., upon which a deposit of 2/. 2s. per share must be paid upon allot ment. The liability of the subscribers will be limited by the Act to the amount of their respective subscriptions to the capital stock, and power will be applied for ill the Act to allow interest at the rate of 4/. per cent.per annum on the amount of the deposit, and upon the re spective calls, from the date of each payment until the opening of the line.

The object of this line is to complete the only link wanting in the chain of railway connnunication between the ports of Hastings, Rye, Ilythe, Folkestone, Sandwich, Dover, Ramsgate, Margate, and Deal. The railway already existing between Dover and Folkestone, and those now forming by the South-Eastern Company in Kent, Sussex, and the Isle of Thanet, and between the latter place and Deal, leave a short distance of nine miles devoid of railway, which this Company proposes to supply. Taken, however, in connexion with the proposed Kent and Essex Union, and Dover, Hastings, and Brighton Junction, it will palut the entire coast line from the mouth of the Medway to Poole. The inhabitants of Heating's, Rye, Folkestone, Sandwich, Dover, Deal, Ramsgate, and Margate, apart from the very advantageous extension embraced by the above two schemes, will, by means of this line, enjoy the benefits of a speedy, cheap, and direct intercourse with each other, in powerful contrast to the present broken and tedious route by land, or the unpleasant and lengthy sea-voyage round the North and South Forelands. It is anticipated that, beside the above advantages, increased im petus will be given to the trade of those places by thus intimately connecting their respective interests.

The Directors have for some time past been in direct communica tion with the Belgian Government, and they have entered into a preliminary arrangement, under date of the 27th of September, 1845, with the Minister of public Works, by which the Minister grants to them the preference for the concession of a railway, to be called the "Grand Junction," and engages to conclude with the Directors a provisional contract, previously to submitting the " Projet de loi " for royal approbation, and also to apply for the sanction of the Legis lature. The valuable and important ironworks of Couvin will also, under the same agreement, be ceded to the Company. The Belgian Grand Junction Railway will directly connect the provinces of Brabant, Ilainault, Liege, Limbourg, and Namur, with cacti other, and with the Government lines of railway, as also with the several lines of Liege and Namur, Landen and Hasselt, Louvain and Jemeppe, Sambre and Meuse, and the Great Luxembourg Mons. Marche], the eminent Belgian engineer, has carefally sur veyed the line, and has deposited the necessary plans, sections, and estimates with the Belgian Government. Mr. James Thomson, one of the Company's engineers, has also gone over the line, and reports most favourably upon the pecullaf facilities for the construction of the railway, and theentire absence of all engineering difficulties. The Chairman and two of the Directors have carefully traversed the whole of the line, and have received the most positive assur ances of support from the local authorities and landed proprietors. The provinces which the railway will unite were found by the census of 1844 to comprise a population of 2,188 551, and the dis tricts which It will traverse are situated in the heart of Belgium, and comprise an area of 165 square miles. The entire length of the Belgian Grand Junction Railway will be 102 English miles. This portion of the country is emphatically ; termed the Granary of Belgium, and, in addition to its vast agricaltaral produce, is rich in ironstone, lead, marble, stone, and slate quarries. It haa also nume rous distilleries, extensive brewerieS, ironworks; and large manufac tories of porcelain, glass, paper, Beetroot, sugar, gunpowder, &e. The great coal-fields of Charleroi and Lieg,e, 2 rivhich are.the most ex tensive in Belgium, will, by meant .of this line, be enabled to supply all parts of the kingdom at a very reduced rate: • , The Government lines already completed, as well Its the several private lines now in course of construction, -will necessarily be the feeders to the Grand Junction line; as it will unite w4th the whole of them, and will traverse a district destitute of all water communica tion, and very imperfectly supplied with roads ; whilst the invariable 1111 e of the Belgian Government not to permit any competing lines, most necessarily ensure to this Company the entire' traffic of the country through which this line will pass. Tables, caleula tool with reference to the present amount of traffic, have been carefully and accurately prepared ; and, upon the improbable as sumption that there will be no increase when the Grand Junction Railn'tly is constructed, the shareholders would even then receive a lei a interest Mt their capital. But, as in all cases, and more parti cularly iii l4elgittm, increased facilities of communication have been accompanied by a great Increase of traffic, there can be no doubt that the Grand Junction Railway Company war pay a considerable dividend to the shareholders. l'he eapense of construction, and the subsequent expenses of work ing the line, are Very much less than in English railways ; and it is an iMpotOttnt feature that the enormous outlay incident to a Perna nientafy contest in England is avoided. A considerable eating will also be effected in the cost of iron, and of the locomotive engined and traffic material, which will be manufac tured at the Couvin works; and tee Company have, therefore, the peculiar advantage of being independent of a supply from any other qttaftee, dud free from the delay and disappointment consequent upon the present increased demand. The grant will be for ninety years, and the Act will provide that the railway shall, for the whole term, be exempt from all rates and charges whatsoever, whether local or national. By the law of Belgium, this Company will be constituted a Societe Anonyme, and the liability of each shareholder will be limited to the amount of his respective shares. A second paytnent of 2/. per share will be required one month after the Concession Shall have been ratified by the Directors, and the subSeqUent tails will be made at such periods as the Directors may determine. Ad accountable receipt will be given to each subscriber on payment of his deposit, which receipt must be exchanged for certificates for shares, at the office of the Company, within twenty-one days after the first appearance of an advertisement requiring such exchange ; such ad , iettidnifient to be inserted once in the London Gazette, and three times in each a 1 two daily Morning London newspapers. The ilmi-ciiiiipliante nith this condition will entail on the subscriber the ibffeittife of his deposits. Notice of Calls will be given by advertisement in the London Ga zette, and two daily Morning Lertekrn newspapers; and if any call on any share shall remain unpaid for twenty-one days after the day nertied * the singe shall beeomeabsolutely forfeited: IhtereSt at the fate of 4/, per cent. per annum will be paid upon the ittnbtint of capital paid tip, stich interest to b 3 calculated from the tittin bt Obtaining the Act of the Legislature until till opening of the hue, All points of detail will, tinder the terms of the Convention and Act, be settled between the Belgian OtrVernMent And the Directors; and it is One of the conditions on which the shares will be appor tioned and accepted, that the subscribers confide to the Directors full power to make tech arrangement with the Belgian Government with respect to any alterations or modifications of the line, and of the terms of the grant, as they may think expedient for the furtherance Of the interests of the Company.

Tavistock —Messrs. Willesford Devonport—W. J. Little, Esq. and Tucker Cornwall has long been struggling to procure the benefits of rail way communication, but divisions amongst its friends have for several successive years prevented any scheme from being carried out. At length, on the 20th August last, at a full county meeting at Bodmin, presided over by the High Sheriff, it was unanimously resolved :—" That the general interests of the county of Cornwall, as well as of the public at large, absolutely requite that no trunk line should be sanctioned through the county which does not afford the most direct, central, safe, and continuous railway communication from Falmouth and renzance to London." This decision, in con junction with the appearance of the scheme of the North Devon Company, has appeared to the promoters of the Great Western and Falmouth Junction railway, to present a favourable opportunity for bringing before the public a Central Line, on the broad guage, which, by the combination of four powerful companies, is now, it may be said, brought almost to the boarders of Cornwall. The Great Western railway, already open to Exeter, is now being extended to Crediton, and from thence the North Devon Company intend to construct a main line to join their north and south Devon nix, in the neighbourhood of Hatherleigh, thirty miles directly west from Exeter, and about seventy miles from Falmouth. The Great Western and Falmouth Junction Railway will corn meniie near Hatherleigh, and will be about seventy miles in length, and form ft direct extension of the line from Crediton to that place, proposed by the North Devon Company, and will thence proceed by Launces'.on, Bodmin, and Truro to Falmouth; and in order to pre aerve the old ;Die of communication from Cornwall $o Plymouth, ad mitted to be of great local importance, a branch will run from the main line near Bodmin, through or near Liskeard, to join the South Devon and Tavistock near Plymouth. By means of this railway, , t 2d the North Devon, Credidto and Exeter, Bristol and Exeter, and Qt .:at Western Railways, there will be a direct and unbi oken line on the oad gauge :from Falmouth through Exeter, to London, on the one han.l, and to Plymouth and connected with the the South Coast on the other; and it will alio railways and canals already existing in Cornwall, .4,A by branches, with all the most important towns in that county and -Lle North 01 Devon. It is also intended that the line shall be the best in e:Zsineer ing qualities which the natural formation of the country will ai:Ow• and that the formidable difficulties, which induced the Board of Trade to report to Parliament against the late Cornwall and Devon Ccatral line, shall be avoided. This scheme has a decided advantage over any other at present proposed for giving to Cornwall the benefits of railway communica tion, and is the only line which can with certainty effect the object ‘1 to which the county became pledged, by the resolution of the 20th of August last—no other line affords " direct, central, safe and con tinuous railway communication from Falmouth and Penzance to London." The Cornwall and Devon Central Railway will not en sure a continuous line from Falmouth to London, until three other independent Companies shall have succeeded in obtaining their Bills ' • and these projected lines have also to contend against the op position of through and integral lines from London to Exeter. The West of England below Exeter, is obviously the country of the broad gauge, and there is no probability that Parliament will sanction the introduction of any other gauge into that district, which would be productive of endless confusion and inconvenience. With the South Devon line on the one hand, the projected North Devon line on the other, the Exeter and Crediton and its projected extension westward to Hatherleigh, and the West Cornwall line from Truro to Penzance, all on the broad gauge, and all projected or supported by the Great Western, and its associated Companies—there can be little doubt that no narrow gauge line will he permitted to run parallel with those already sanctioned by the legislature, or proposed for the further accommodation of the country by such influential companies. In order fully to comply with the expressed wishes of tile county of Cornwall and to secure that "direct, central, safe, and continuous railway communication" so much required, the present line has been projected, and will, when completed, form the Central link of the great series of lines already under the direction of the Great Western, and the other associated Companies. It is therefore confidently presumed that no other scheme for connecting Cornwall and West Devon .with the Metropolis, and the North of England, can compete with the present line with any probability of success, presenting as this line does the prominent points of national and local advantage, and possessing all the elements essential to command the favourable consideration of Parliament. As a work of national importance, it has been long admitted that a line o f railway to the important Port of Fahnouth must be carried out ; the promoters of this railway do not, therefore, think it neces sary to repeat the here the highly satisfactory results of the traffic over the line, which were long since ascertained. It is sufficient to say, they prove an ample return on the capital to be invested. The survey is in progress, and will be completed in time to apply to Parliament in the ensuing Session ; and the promoters having already received highly satisfactory assurances of support, as well local as general, feel justified in expressing their conviction that their appli cation will be crowned with success. The capital will be divided into 50,000 shares of 251. each, upon which a deposit of 21. 12s. 6d. per share must be paid upon the allot ment. Power will be taken to pay interest on the deposit, and all calls till the line is opened ; and no subscriber will be liable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. Preference will be given, in the allotment, to landowners, to local applicants, and to parties holding shares in the Great Western, Bristol and Exeter, Exeter and Crediton, North Devon, and West Cornwall Railways.

OFFICES—No. 1, Royal Exchange-buildings, London ; and 36, Upper Temple street, It is proposed by this Company to establish a direct line of commu nication between Birmingham, Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hull, at the smallest outlay of capital, and with the least possible injury to existing interests. To effect this object, use will be made of existing or projected lines, as far as practicable, and the chain of communica tion will be completed by throwing out new lines, where requisite. Commencing at Birmingham, it is proposed to use the Birmingham and Derby Railway as far as Whitacre, whence a new line, about 29 miles in length, will be made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Castle Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid land Counties Railway The communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will be carried forward as far as Gainsborough, either by the proposed Not tingham and Gainsborough Railway, or by a line springing out of the line from Nottingham to Lincoln, for which an Act was obtained by the Midland Cqunties Company during the last session of Parliament. From Gtlnsborough this railway will proceed to Barton-on-the- Humber, or New Holland, in the immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby rendering complete and entire the chain of communication between Birmingham and Hull. By this project the advantages will result to the public of A Direct line from Birmingham to Nottingham, Birmingham to Gainsborough, and from Birmingham to Hull; and by means of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Railway, and the intended extension to Ashby-de-la-Zouch, a direct line from Wolverhampton to Nottingham, and the other towns already enu merated. The support of several companies will be enlisted in favour of the line, which, together with its own merits, will ensure its success in e Parliament. As a considerable portion of the line of communication is already made, or in progress, the tim e required for the completion • f this great national undertaking will be materially shortened. Independently of the advantages to be derived by a direct commu nication between the important seaport of Hull and the mining a n d manufacturing districts of Warwickshire and Staffordshire, a large traffic in timber, corn, metals, &c., may be confidently expected. The revenue of the Company, in addition, will be derived from the great thorough traffic from Birmingham a nd the midland counties to Nottingham and Gainsborough, and the immense traffic from Bir mingham to Hull, the:port at which the exports are shipped to Hain burgh, the German States, and the North of Europe ; and from the conveyance of merchandise, agricultural produce, and cattle from tile Southern, western, and midland counties. A preference will be given in the allotment of shares to landowners on the line, and other local proprietors, as well as to directors and shareholders in railways interested in supporting this undertaking. No subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of tile deposit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. The usual power will be taken to allow interest at tile rate of four per cent. from the time of payment upon each call until the opening of the line. No applications will be attended to without a reference to a member of the Committee, a banker, or the solicitors to this Company. The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip certifi cates, cf which due notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by any party making default in the execution of those deeds will be for feited. Plans and prospectuses, with forms of applications for shares, may be had of the Solicitors, and of the following Stock and Sharebrokers, viz. :—Messrs.
