Gentlemen,--I request that yOu will allot to me shares of 201. each in the above Company; and I hereby undertake to ac cept the same, or any smaller number, and 0 pay the deposit of 21. 2s. per share thereon, and to execute the Parliamentary Con tract and the Subscribers' Agreement when required. Dated this day of , 1845. Name in ..... •• • • • • Residence ................ ....... Place of Business •• • •• • • ••• • • • Trade or Profession ................ Name and Address of Referee. • • • • • • • Signature . ...... • • • • • • • • • • V ONTEFRACT, WORKSOP, and MANS FIELD JUNCTION RAILWAY. Notice is hereby given, that no further Applications for Shares in this Company will be received after SATURDAY, the 18th inst. ' and that no attention can be paid to any which are not accompanied by a reference to Bankers, members of the Committee, or the Solicitors to the undertaking J. N. SPELLEN, Hon. Sec. 1, Royal Exchange-buildlnP, Oct. 13. The proposed railway will commence at Rugby, on the London and Birmingham Railway, the terminus of the Midland Counties and Trent Volley Railways, and the paint to which several other projected railways converge, and will proceed through or near to Leamington, Warwick, Stratford-on-Avon, Evesham, Tewkesbury, and Chelteneara, to Gloucester. The length of the line will be about 56 miles. The advantages that will result from the construction of this line arc 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 ~ f railway com munication between the whole of the midland and north-eastern counties ofEngland, the populous cities and towns before-named, and the southern arid weetern districts, and thus bring Leicester, Not tingham, Newark, Lincoln, GainsbOrough, 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 resort to Stratford-on-Awn. 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 front that place to Malvern, affording the aiost direct communication to the numerous visitors to the magnificent scenery and invigorating atmosphere of the celebrated Malvern-hills. To the inhabitants of the ardent 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 be too the town. The proposed line, running close to the town, will remove this great inconvenience, and restore its trade to its former state of Prosperity-. The value of this line to the city and port of Gloucester cannot and Birmingham; i tu g t ha w m l l , l w ve o r l y verinp highly estimated, as it will not only open to It immense for Gloucester the whole st ill ofmorethat immensely securely sources of traffic from the whole of the eastern and north-eastern the e sts to of eon Gloucester,e conceive any than l : nearest a e nr esds productivese s s t s oaur t t h dmh e madnoluss Staffordshire, act , eer manufacturing s ns ib between remeogauk ot region; making and it ee ls rojec o t ne be c t a t p er abl e e alcUl of at ff ed ect to i that object. This line will also form an important • • junction between the London and Birmingham :and Midlands Railways, and the Bristol and Gloucester Railway, and constitute the highway for the traffic of the former, and of all the north-eastern railways, to the proposed Man chester and Southampton Railway at Cheltenham; and the through traffic from the latter source alone is expected to be very great.; It will thus have the effect of con nect i ng the ports of theastern 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 Severs, and the agricultural districts of Warwickshire and Wor cestershire, in the manufacturing towns and ports of the north. The 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 very great in addition to the through traffic, which on such a li ne must necessarily be very extensive. The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the p cwer to amalgamate with any other company as to the whole or any part of the line, and te vary to increase • •or extend the line, and 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 s.":are insist be paid upon allot merit.

The railway already existing between Dover and Folkestone, and those Low forming by the South-Eastern Company in Kent, Sussex, and the Isle of Thauet, 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 pirfect the entire coast line from the mouth of the Medway to Poole. The inhabitants of Hastings, 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 proposed by this Company to establish a direct line of commu nication between Birmingham, Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hull, at the smallest oatlay 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 tile 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 tinghame y t lineheF rfor MidlandGana NottinghamcNmGainsborough Gainsborough nwlreitiegosaliinctdLei,spni rira ß tinci,n,r a oityell i hw i nd a et, ua • h a fiyr jeoymrn,cmwghwo iiceyaill pbain otlre a fa. ca nse,lt,eloinene sessionAedil vicinity to p tt iy r i wno n i:er g o,aafh l llgo.boantnor:ulb between mnte o ewd_r f teeeh t nbie h e, or e° y r il e u it ra de b Z , g Birtriingham and Hull.

This important line of railway, commencing at the port of Gains borough, isintended to pass along the Trent flat by Bole, Sttirton-le- Steeple , North Leverton, South Leverton, Treswell, Rampton, Lane ham, Dunham, Ragnal, Fleetborough, Marnham, Normanton, Grass thorpe, Sutton-upon-Trent, Carlton, Cromwell, Norwell, Bathley, North Muskham, to Newark, and thence to Nottingham, by the existing Midlands branch, making the total distance to Nottingham forty-one miles or thereabouts ; thus effecting a direct line from Gainsborongh to Nottingham, which will connect Derby, Birming ham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the west of England generally, with Gainsborongh, Goole, Hull, and Great Grimsby. The object of the promoters of this railway is to afford to existing interests an opportunity of uniting to secure the immense traffic which exists along this line in its original and legitimate course, via Newark-upon-Trent to Nottingham. They propose no unfair inter ference with the rights and properties of vested companies, but, by cutting off the angles and curves of the river, render the route the mast direct, economical, and speedy of any railway that can be made. It is free from any engineering difficulty or obstruction. There are no tunnels or expensive cuttings necessary; nor does it interfere with any residential property; and the expense of forma tion will be much below the average cost, as compared with other lines. Should the Act for the London and York line be obtained, this Company will avail itself of their line frcm Sutton -upon-Trent to Newark, a distance of eight miles, leaving only about fifteen miles of new railway to be made to complete this important line of communication, through a rich agricultural valley of great beauty, and possessing important local claims to railway accommodation. If the above Company do not succeed in their undertaking, the prssent projectors will occupy their ground from Sutton-upon-Trent to Newark, and construct the whole line from Gainsborough to Newark, for the accomplishment of which ample provision is se cured in their estimated capital. The merits of this line are such as will require no extensive pa tronage for its support. The local interest it possesses will be found sufficient to command a high station amongst the best railway pro jects of the day.

The Directors have for some time past been'in direct communica tien 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 call e "Grand Junction," and engages to conclude with the Direct a provisional contract, previously to submitting the " Projet de lei " 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, Hainault, Liege, Limbourg, and Namur, with each 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. Marchal, the eminent Belgian engineer, has carefully 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 peculiar facilities for the construction of the railway, and the entire 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 agricultural produce, is rich in ironstone, lead, marble, stone, and slate quarries. It has also nume rous distilleries, extensive breweries, ironworks, and large manufac tories of porcelain, glass, paper, Beetroot, sugar, gunpowder, &c. ll e them, ifpa T h ehr r r sent e ac rsdt a nloolo t d,nstf: coal-fields ehe ewtrsretyli imperfectlyitor terai wttgv diline, e o nueo f lnua:ir ttsci.sicourse Charleroi already toe, iricesupplied ~nria c witheseanostdsdff completed, t L eptcuel i rtle e divoaot g iaerl e :(1,atilf: : 01 : a:a 3.1 whilst el c ,h, h : are the most ex tenThe sive in Belgium, will, by means of this line, be with t a tleeh b tramh l sct e aelo d tirhme: i t ielyw o mvaah s b: u roe;l p aee p tcbrha l aol y ea-fl ll on, nleb4d3ishareholders. rate of the Belgian Government not to permit any competing lines, must necessarily ensure to this Company the entire traffic of the country through which this line will pass.

A considerable saving will also be effected In the cost of iron, and of the locomotive engines and traffic material, which will be manufac tured at the Couvin works; and the Company have, therefore, the peculiar advantage of being independent of a supply from any other quarter, and 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 payment of 21. per share will be required one month after the Concession shall have been ratified by the Directors, and the subsequent calls will be made at such periods as the Directors may determine. An 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 advertisement to be inserted once in the London Gazette, and tire , • times in each of two daily Morning Landon newspapers. The non-compliance with this condition will entail on the subscriber the forfeiture of his deposits. Notice of calls will be given by advertisement in the London Ga zette, and two daily Morning London newspapers; and if any call on any share shall remain unpaid for twenty-one days after the day named, the share shall become absolutely forfeited. Interest at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum will be paid upon the amount of capital paid up, such interest to b t calculated from the time of obtaining the Act of the Legislature until the opening of the line. All points of *ll will, under the terms of the Convention and Act, be settled laitiiteen the Belgian Government and tke Directors; and it is one of the conditions on which the shares will im appor tioned and accepted, that the subscribers confide to the Directors full power to make such 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 straggling 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 Penzance 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, en 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 Creulton, and from thence the North Devon Company intend to construct a main line to join their north and south Devon line, in the neighbourhood of Hatherleigh, thirty mils directly west from Exeter, and about seventy miles from Falmouth. The Great Western and Falmouth Junction Railway will com mence near Hatherleigh, and will be about seventy tulles in length, and form a 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 Fahnouth ; and in order to pre serve the old line of communication from Cornwall to PI) mouth, ad mitted to be of great local importance, a branch will run front the main line near Bodmin, through or near Liskeard, to join the South Devon and Tavistock Railway, near Plymouth. By means of this railway, and the North Devon, Credidto .and Exeter, Bristol and Exeter, sad Great Western Railways, there will be a direct and unbi oken line oil the broad gauge :from Falmouth through Exeter, to London, on the one hand, and to Plymouth and the South Coast on the ; and it will also be connected with the railways and canals already existing in Cornwall, and, by branches, with all the most important towns in that county and the North of Devon. It is also intend-d that the line shall be the best in engineer ing qualities which the natural formation or the country will allow, and that the fatrnidable difficulties, which !natio:lithe Board of Trade to report to Parliament against the late Cornwall and Devon Central line, shall be avoided. This scheme has a decided advantage ON er any other at present proposed for giving to Cornwall the benefits of railway c. mmunica tion, and is the only line which can with certainty effect the object 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 I% est 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 inconveinence. 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 be 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 fu:ly to comply with the expressed wishes of the county of Cornwall and to secure that "direct, central, safe, and continuous railway communication" so much required, the present line has been projected, .and wilt, 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 Falmouth must be carried out ; the promoters of this railway do not, therefore, think it neces sary to repeat the here the highly satlsiactory 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 van 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 56,600 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 bey ono 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.
