The Come mittec of the Central Terminus Company are advised that net withstanding this decision, the contract is one which may be enforced in equity. - -Nevertheless, as time presses, they have in structed their engineer to lay down an independent railway bridge, by which the absolute necessity of dealing with the Hungerford Bridge Company may be ohviated, and the very contracted area of Hungerford Market may be dispensed with. The Committee, under these circumstances, will at once proceed to an allotMent of their Shares, and the important business of the Company ; mid they cannot doubt, that, considering the great na tional importance of their undertaking, it will readily receive the sanction of Parliament, as it has already that of her Majesty's Com missioners of Metropolitan Improvements, and of all the important Southern Railways.

Backhouse, Esq. Shrewsbnri Cooper, Esq . . The geog.mphical position of Worcester has caused its adoption as the point where the broad guage trunk lines of the west are to have a - .:ommon ler minus. Froni Oxford the Great Western Company have lecidcd on eonstructing a line of rail :—another project under the. pa tronage of the same powerful direction is now before the public, uniting Wore ester with Warwick ; and, that the broad gauge will be carried from... Worcester into Wales, and to the Irish packet stations on that coast, is now no longer doubtful. This undertaking will com plete a seri es of great avenues of iron-road, whose ramification from Wore( ster will render every part of the kingdom directly accessible atom that city. Passing up the Severn Vale, where It will disclose a succession of picturesque scenes, it reaches Stourport, and proceeding thence through Kidderminster, arrives at Bewdley. This district - is one of the chief scats of our carpet manu factures, and.,in the towns here named, exclusive of the intervening districts, up wards of 30,000 persons are located. Leaving Stonrbridge a little to the east, the line is taken to Kridgenorth, 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 ing through or near to Much Wenlock, Broseley, and Madeley, from which place th ere will be a branch to Shrewsbury, the line ascends Colebrook DaLe, and approaching in its course Wellington and Wem, enters Whitehitrch. From this central place a branch will be formed to Norwich Ida Stoke, forming a junction with the Liverpool and Crewe Ratiw ny. , The trunk line will continue from Whitchurch, and passing throtigh or near Malpas, have its northern terminus in the city of Chest er. In estimat ing; the probable amount of revenue which the Worces ter and Chris to - r Railway may be expected to yield, many sources of profit present' themselves, such are the dense population located along the length of - the Severn Vale, and the enriching works of industry in which they, are engaged. Amongst the latter may be mentioned the China max ufactories of Worcester, the Iron, coal, and earthen ware works at Broseley and other places; the agricultural produce brought to st 6 urport market ; the inexhaustible fields of coal alai mines of ironiore in the vicinity, of Colebrook Dale, Ironbridge, and the districts to the east of Shrewsbury generally. In caleulativg the cost of construction unusual advantages aro also obvious. rie% line traverses a district, Affording levels of several miles in - ext, int, and with a surface peculiarly favourable. The resi dent populatlon, disappointed by the postponement of promised pro jects, . have rarmly espoused _the..Present, and the labouribepopula tion being 'fiamillar with mining operations, will he found better qual!ted for Kee execution of railway works here than in many.other, localities.

The importance of connecting remote parts of E..gland by Rail wave, 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 beford the pUblie 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 cof: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. . , • • trine for the County of Somerset Henry-William Chichester, Esq., Rose House, Bampton, Devon Charles Bailey, Esq., s,llatford-place, London R.

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 sossa of Watttage, 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 proposed line at Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdon to tIM station of the Great Western Railway at Steventon, thus giving to Abingdm 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•eastenn counties will, by a junc tion !with the projection from Cambridge to Oxford, be produced, through the towns which have been named,.Hungerford and Ludgers • ball to Salisbury, and thence to the south and western ports and dis tricts. As a link ip the railway network of England, or as auxiliary . to exi*tijo i lot. projected lines passing' in various directions, few schemes hit to proposed appear to afford greater inducement for investment, or a wider range of accommcdation for traffic and travelling. "Th s projea constitutes a lengthened link in the chain that will cone cut Liverpool- with Bristol, the grand trunk of the West - of Engle Jac. ;—lts southern terminus, Worcester, Is the half way station otlihe London and Port Dynnllaen broad gauge line:— by projected I Ines a direct communication will be afforded west ward to Swanita and Aberystwitli, and, eas'.ward, to Warwick and Northampton, Cambridge, Peterborough, Harwich, Lynn, Lincoln, and Hull.

This railway will commence at or near Didcot on the Great Western Railway, and passing through Newbury to Andover, will there unite with the proposed Manchester and Southampton Railway, and the London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Railway. It is promoted under the belief, that whilst the Manchester and Southampton line must command the traffic of the great manufactu ring districts of Lancashire and Cheshire, of the Staffordshire Pot teries, the iron districts, and the larger portion of the midland and western counties, the traffic from the north-eastern portion of the country and of Oxford requires another communication, and that a line so designed as to be worked in union with the main project of the Manchester and Southampton Company, must obtain the coun tenance of that influential body, as well as of the London, Salisbury, and Yeovil.Company (to the traffic of which Company this under taking will prove an important tributary), and will offer greater facilities to the pitblic than any scheme dependent in its working on other interest. The line will afford the shortest route between Southampton and Oxford and all points to the north-east. It will, moreover, open an almost direct communication. from Rugby, Oxford, anti the eastern counties to Newbury, Andover, Salisbury, Yeovil, and Exeter, Poole, Dorchester, and the western counties ; also to Fareham, Gosport, and Port:mouth, and the whole eastern coast. . . In addition to these immense district advantages, the line now proposed confers on the whole kingdom the opportunity of reaching the great national fairs of Weyhill, Appleshaw, and Ilsley. Its length will be about 30 miles. Such arrangements will be made as on the one hand to ensure the success of the main design, that, namely, of having the line worked by, or in intimate union with, the Manchester and Southampton Railway Company, and, on the other, to meet the requirements of the traffic supplied by the lines under the control of the Great Wes tern Company. Completing, as this railway will do, the connexion from the north and east of England to Southampton and the southern coast; ob taining, moreover, as it must, a large accession of traffic from the great network of railways centering at Oxford; and giving an outlet at Southampton, the principal mail packet station of the kingdom, to the East and West Indies, Mexico, Turkey, Egypt, Spain, and Portn • gal ; also to the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands, and France—it is obvious that the return upon the coat construction (which will be moderate) must be highly remunerative. The project has been submitted to a deputation of Directors of the Manchester and Southampton Company, and the promoters feel justi fied in stating that every facility will be afforded by that company in bringing its merits fully before thd Legislature. Forms of applications for shares, copies of the prospectuses, and a map of the line, may be obtained from the secretary, at the offices of the company.

The great difficulty, delay, end expense attending the transit of passengers and gcods from Kingston to Montego Bay and the inter mediate ports, either by sea or land, is well known to all persons conversant with the islan 1 of Jamaica. The average passage by steamer between Montego Bay and King ston, occupies forty-four hours ; and the costs, including expenses on the route, amount to nearly 51. each passenger, while the quickest journey by land occupies three days, and the expenses, including horse hire, reach nearly 201. By the railway the whole line will be traversed in eight hours, at an expense not exceeding an average of 30s. per passenger. The difference in the freights between the northern and southern sides of the island and England is such, that independently of the saving of time, this railway will enable proprietors on the northern side, after payment of the costs of transit, to ship their produce at much less expense than at present, and will afford them the advan tage of shipping at all times from the very excellent harbour of King ston, instead of being confined, as they now are, to the exposed ports of the east and north of the island. The line will commence at a spacious quay, to be constructed at Kingston Harbour, with a depth of water sufficient for vessels of the largest tonnage employed in the export trade of the Island ; at or near to which point it is proposed to form a junction with the King ston and Spanish Town Railway, and proceed thence by or near Rock Fort, Yallahs, Morant Town, Port Morant, Plantain Garden, Man chioneal Harbour; Port Antonio, Buff Bay, Anotto Bay, Port Maria, St. Ann's, Duncan, Martha Brae, and terminate at or near Montego Bay. By these !means a line of intercommunication will be formed I etween the most important and populous places, and facility offered for carriage of the produce of the most prodictive portion of the island. Through the southern portion of the line, the physical features are gentle elevations, almost parallel to the principal range of moun tains which rim east and west, nearly the length of the island ; the eastern portion, from Port Morant to Plantain Garden, is almost level ; while the northern runs through an exceedingly rich country, rising into hills separate from each other by spacious vales. The whole of the country traversed by the line abounds in the staple ar t:cies of sugar, coffee, rum, molasses, ginger, pimento, and other spices, dye wood, drugs, &c. ; and as more than one-third of the land is still uncultivated, the production of these articles will, by the increased facility for traffic, be greatly increased ; and cotton, indigo, cocoa, &c., and dry stuffs, at present unimporte d, will again be brought into extensive cultivation. Timber of great variety abounds along the line ; besides the pimento tree, which flourishes spontaneously, there are mahogany, lignum vibe, ebony, Spanish elm, fine cedar, and other trees of enormous bulk. The line will also bring largely into use the valuable palmetto, and various other woods for agricultural and household purposes, aad cabinet works. The mineral wealth of the country on the line is very considerable ; lead ore is extremely rich and heavily impregnated with silver ; whilst every variety of copper ore is found in abundance. Carbonate of lime, valuable as manure, &e., of which Long Mountain is com posed, will fan a considerable item in the tables of traffic. The peculiarly favourable circumstances attending the construction of this Railway render it highly probable that a considerable portion of the capital demanded will not be required, as every material* necessary for its formation is to be found on the line, and should the atmospheric principle of propulsion he adopted, the necessity for cut tings and embankments will be generally superseded. A gratuitous grant of the unappropriated land required for the line, and the free use of all the timber, stone, &c., necessary for its con struction, will, it is expected, be ceded by the Legislative Assembly ; —the mineral wealth, which may he developed by the construction of the line, will accompany the grants of the land, and may be leased to capitalists for the benefit of the Shareholders. Of the various imports, and the internal traffic, a satisfactory esti mate can scarcely be given—it will be sttfficient to state, that Coals, Fish, Lime and Salt, empty Puncheons, Shingles, Bricks, Hoops, Lead, Timber, Provisions, Cattle, Flour, Tobacco, Hardwares, and Manufactures generally, form important sources of profit. The working expenses of th e railway will re q uire but a moderate per centage, and from all th e circumstances already stated, and care ful inquiries into the traffic, there can be no doubt that this line of railway will yield a very remunerative return upon the capital re quired, and the speedy communication established between the island and Great Britain, by means of the Royal Mail S t eam Packet Company, will enable the D irectors in this country to exercis e an efficient control over the management of the affairs of the island. The Committee propose to make provision in the Local Act fbr the payment of 4% per cent. interest upon the amount paid upon the shares from the passing of the Bill until the opening of th e line.

The Provisional Committee have the satisfaction of informing the applicants for Shares that this Company has been united with the Kilkenny, Carlow, and Wicklow Railway Company, arid it is intended to apply, in the ensuing session, to Parliament for power to construct a line of railway from Clonmel to Kilkenny, Carlow, and Wicklow. The undertaking is warmly supported by the English Great Western Railway Ccmpany, the Waterford, Wexford, Wicklow, and Dublin Railway Company, and other li - ish companies, and a portion of the Directors of the English Great Western Railway Company are on the Committee of Management. Persons who have applied for shares in the Clonmel and Kilkenny Railway Company are at liberty to withdraw the same, if they desire to do so, but otherwise they will be taken into consideration in the allotment of Shares in the Amalgamated Company, which will hence forth be called the Clonmel, Kilkenny, Carlow, and Wicklow Company.

The object of this railway is to connect, in the most direct course, the important and increasing manufacturing town of Leeds with the Metropolis, the want of which has long been felt, and is too univer sally acknowledged to need any comment, and it is under this con viction that this important undertaking, after several minute exa minations of the country through which it will pass, has been brought forward. The proposed line will commence at the junction of the Manche - ter and Leeds, and York and North Midland Railways, near Wake field, and will terminate by means of a junction with the Eastern Counties Railway at Bedford (to which place it is the intention of that Company to extend their line in the ensuing session of Parlia ment), and by thus availing itself as far as possible of the existing railways, will complete the most direct and least expensive trunk line, from London to Leeds, York, and Hull. It will pass in its route within an available distance of Wakefield, Pontefract, Doncaster, Rotherham, East Redford, Nottingham, Newark, Grantham, Melton Mowbray, Oakham, and Stamford. The importance of such a line is obvious, both from the nature of its course (embracing, as it does, a most extensive population within its limits) as also from the absence of any direct communication for the conveyance of passengers and merchandise. By the construction of this railway, railway communication to London will be given to Peterborough and Leicester (by means of the Syston and Peterborough Railway), to Newark and Nottingham (by the Nottingham and Lincoln line), and to Sheffield and Gainsbo rough (by the Sheffield and Gainsborough line), by a much shorter route than by any existing Railways. Independently of the advantages offered to the towns in the several counties through which this Line will pass, the Line in itself consi dered as a direct trunk line between London and Leeds, is sufficient to justify its formation, it being well known that the existing traffic between these two places would produce such a return on the capital required, as to admit of a dividend, equal to that of ally railway in operation : but when it is borne in mind, that a Company is being formed for the purpose of connecting Glasgow with Leeds by means of a junction with the York and Carlisle Railway, no better line can be presented to the public, as it will not only effect a direct communica tion from Glasgow and the Western parts of Scotland to London, but would also connect Edinburgh and the Eastern parts of Scotland as well as Durham and Newcastle (by the York and North Midland, and Great North of England Railways), with the Metropolis, which would be considerably shorter titan the accommodation offered by any other Company, and when cost of construction is considered, there cannot be a doubt but that preference would be given to the Great Leeds and London Direct Railway. The fact of the Eastern Counties Railway being connected by a branch line with the East and West India Docks on the river Thames, and the Railway Company having recently leased for 999 years the extensive pepper warehouses belonging to those docks, which are capable of receiving 12,000 tons of goods, together with wharfs adjoining, where the shipment and trans-shipment of goods from all parts of the world can take place, is a most important fea ture in favour of the direct communication from the manufacturing towns of Glasgow and Leeds offered by the Great Leeds and London 1 1 ,e, 1 Direct Railway, and by branch railways to the mah: et tf iring ' di._ through which all goods from the whole of the manuf. for shipment, tricts could be conveyed at once to these warehousesof cartage, and in thereby avoiding the present delay and ex reality establishing an almost direct andPaTienvaluable connexion between the rivers Clyde and Thames.

Exeter—George William Turner, Esq. .;~+~ir±:y, This railway is intended to commence at the east part of the city Of Exeter, neat St. Sidwells, and after passing through Topsham, with a fork at Woodbury by Lympstone to Exmouth, will proceed, in an easterly direction, towards Sidmouth, and thence, near Colyton, Beer, Seaton, Axmouth, Lyme Regis, and Charmouth, to Bridport. At Bridport the line will divide, taking the course direct to Dor chester, to join the Southampton and Dorchester Railway, and the other, passing near Bridport harbour and Abbotsbury to Weymouth. At Exeter, junctions will be formedwith the Bristol and Exeter and North Devon Railways, and at Exmouth with the South Devon, by means of their steam ferry, thus making the most direct route to Plymouth from London. Also at Dorchester and Weymouth it pill be connected with the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, as well as with the Dorchester and Southampton at Dorchester. It will be seen, on reference to the map, that by forming a junc tion with the lines of coast railway that have already been con structed or commenced from Exeter westward, and from Dorchester eastward, and by following the coast as nearly as is practicable be tween its termini, this line will effectually complete a railway com munication from Dover to the - Land's End, an undertaking in itself of great national importance, and likely to meet with the cordial sup port of tho Government. In fixing the course which this Railway will tile, it has been the careful consideration of the Promoters to project only such a Line as will afford the greatest facility of communication to the populous and important towns and fashionable watering places which are situated on and near that part of the Coast which this Railway is particu larly meant to accommodate; whilst, at the same time, the Agri cultural, Manufacturing, and Commercial Interests of this part o the Kingdom have been equally studied. This Line will also open such additional means of communication to the Port of Weymouth, the large Manufacturing Town and Har bour of Bridport, and the Harbour of Lyme Regis, as must even tually replace them in that high position, when compared with' the other Ports of the Kingdom, which they formerly held. The Water ing Places of Exmouth, Budleigh-Salter ton, Sidmouth, Charmouth, Lyme-Regis, Weymouth, &c., will be thus thrown open to every part of England and Wales, and accommodated with that facility of ac cess which they alone require to place them on an equal position with other favourite places of resort, for which the picturesque In land and bold Coast-Scenery of Devonshire and Dorsetshire is pre eminently proverbial, and justly entitles them to hold. The following extract from the Report of the Select Committee of the House of Lords on the " Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Rail way," made on the 18th of June, 1845, will show the sense enter tained by that body of the importance of a line of railway In the di rection proposed by the present Company In making their re port, the Committee feel it their duty to state that the great diffi culty with them, In deciding on the Bill referred to them, kad arisen from the fear they entertained whether, in allowing the Great Western Railway to come down to the sea at Weymouth, or even be low Yeovil, they might not be creating a difficulty as to making a railway in the most desirable manner to Falmouth, the most westerly port in the Channel." The great importance of this railway may be further estimated, from a consideration of the fact that the local population which would be benefited by its construction exceeds two hundred thousand persons. And also that Weymouth, which will be one of the termini of the line, is about to become a great National Harbour of Refuge and Packet-station, by the construction of a breakwater in Portland Roads, in accordance with the recommendation of the Government Commissioners, for which purpose a grant was made during the last session of Parliament for commencing the works. The at'alitional population and traffic, which will thus be attracted to this port, will be very considerable. A preliminary survey has been made, and there are no peculiar engineering difficulties. The length of the main line, from Exeter to Dorchester, will be about fifty-two miles; and of the Forks, or exten sions, to Weymouth, and Exmouth, about sixteen miles ; making, in the whole, sixty-eight miles of railway. tion of a railway calculated, as this is, very greatly re e t e will be give. The sentiments of the landowners are favourable to o tbhoencetiontsttrhtotter properties, and in the allotment of shares o pr . efe n to the applications of persons locally inter/ 1 ; 1 y p re area by the pro- Estimates of the traffic have been moters of the line, of capital im the undertak turn will be obtained for the investmenteswill, however, be forthwith com ing. More detailed traffic tables Committees of both Houses of Parliament. from which it iscaerveident that an ample re • will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow Tit on the a completion of the line, and the liability mount of deposit and calls from the the amount of their subscriptions. p n il tT e e d rbe , es a tu s e,t r ut e a q 4l l l l .p ir p i r i s itmi o l f te t d ll W firospectus, and for shares, 3 nt the Company' 0 lna: be of fAs passing iri ch o .o f t the (olen„ A f it !i made to the Secretary, s Offices, 62, Moor ate-street ; to the solicitors and local agents ; also to the fol lowing sharebrokers :—Messrs.

PR This short but important Iine OSPECTUS. of railway is intended to commence at a point in the Tean and Dove Valley Railway, at or near to Snareston, and to extend to Leicester. _ It will thus furnish a link necessary for carrying on the traffic brought to Leicester by means of the South Midlands, the Bedford, and the Peterborough Railways (all of which terminate at or near Leicester), to the Staffordeldre Potteries and the great towns of Lan cashire and Cheshire, and complete an unbroken line of railway, by the best and nearest practicable route, from the various important railway termini at Leicester to Manchester and Liverpool. This great line of railway, it will be observed, traverses the finest coal fields in the country, and embraces the towns of Burton-upon- Trent, Uttoxeter, Cheadle, Leek, Macclesfield, Lane End, Stoke upon-Trent, and Newcastle-under-Lyme, and the important and rapidly-Increasing potteries of Swadlincote and Gresley, as well as those of Staffordshire. An inspection of the map will show that the junction line now proposed is essential for the accommodation of the public, and it can not fail to be exceedingly remunerative to the proprietors. The undertaking has the cordial support of the Tean and Dove Valley Railway Company. In the allotment of shares preference will be given to Shareholders in that Company, and to parties locally interested in the line. The capit sl of the Company will be 300,0001., divided into 15,000 shares of 201. each ; a deposit of 21. 2s. per share must be paid on al lotment, and each original subscriber must execute the usual Parlia mentary and Subscription Contract, or his shares will be forfeited. Copies of the prospectus and map may be had from the Secretary and Solicitors; and applications for shares must be made to the Secretary only, accompanied by a reference to a member of the Pro visional Committee, a banker, or to one of the solicitors of the Company. Shareholders in the Tean and Dove Valley Railway who apply, will please to state the number of shares they hold in that Company. Burton-on •Trent, Sept. 18, 1845.
