Messrs. Rice and '.! homes Hopkins, M.1.C.E.; and John Belcher, Esq. SECRETARY. This Company is formed for making a railway from Liverpool to a Theeo complete I s whole t s Derby, and will, in conjunction with the Manchester and Rugby Direct, and London and Birmingham Railways, form the nearest route from Liverpool to London. It will commence at Liverpool, and proceed along the Liverpool and Manchester Railway to within a short distance of the Whiston Inclined Plane, and thence branch off, in a south-easterly direction, through Warrington, Kuutsford, and Congleton to Leek (there joining the Manchester sindopletungaliny unin terrupteditail- Rail way), and from thence through Ashhourne l i o laui.l D ady e a rt ir iy o length of the proposed line will be about sixty-six miles. It will he seen by reference to the map that this important line of railway will form the shortest route from Liverpool to London, and effect a direct chain of communication bete eon Liverpool and Derby, and will . rd midland communication between the eastern and western parts of tience,b3rromuteeaitios ott;itehem.3olridelaennsdtsernandcoouthnetriersa, the kingdom and the important intermediate manufacturing districts. The most important feature in this railway is that it forms the shortest road from Liverpool to London. The distance by it, with the Manchester and Rugby, and London and Birmingham, will be only 188 miles, whereas b y the present route it is 210 miles, a nd by the Trent Valley Railway 20034 miles ; effecting a saving of 22 miles ia one instance, and 12)4 miles in the other. And as regards Liverpool and Derby, the whole distance between Liverpool and Derby will be reduced by this line to about 74 miles, thus decreasing the dis tance by any present existing railway, at least 41 miles; an advantsge which carries in itself eke convi c ti on o f the n ecessity there is for the proposed railway, in order to connect more immediately two such important towns, especially when these towns are but the foci, as it were, for other railways from still more distant localities, as before adverted to. The distance also from Manchester to Leek (where the proposed railway will unite with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) will be about 30 miles , and from Leek to Derby about 26 34 mils, making the whole distance from Manchester to Derby only eeq miles ; and thus diminishing the distance by any present communi cation between those important towns by about 28 miles, ad object most desirable to be attained, and of itself quite ruffleient to recom mend a line of railway embracing such beneficial results. But great as these results most certainly a - ill be, they are far out weighed by the very important consideration that, in conjunction with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway, it will also be the most direct route from Liverpool to London. The distance from Liverpool to Leek (the proposed point of junc tion with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) is 4734 milis: from Leek to Rugby, according to the line as proposed by the Man chester and Rugby Direct Railway, 58 miles, and from Rugby to London 63 miles ; thus making the whole distance from Liverpool to London 188 y, miles, instead of 210, by the present route. With regard to the traffic and other details connected with the working of the line, it seems only necessary to revert to the great importance of the towns proposed to be brought into communication with each other, in order to convince the minds of all that the source of revenue thus derived will be immense. There are no engineering difficulties connected with the forming of the Ins. The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share holders beyond the deposit now paid until the Act of Parliament is obtained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 4/. per cents interest on all calls.

In Retford and Worksop—The Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Banking Company This railway project will join Manchester to Lincoln by nearly a straight line, and has been formed by an union with the Chesterfield Canal Company. One of its objects is the conversion of that canal into a railway (as far as it may be available), so as to give the most complete system of railway accommodation from Great Grimsby, Wainfleet, Ilorncastle, Louth, Lincoln, Gainsborough, Retford, and Worksop, to Sheffield, Rotherham, Chesterfield, Bakewell, Buxton, Stockport, Manchester, Liverpool, and Birkenhead; also the most direct communication froth east to west, with Macclesfield, Congleton, Crewe, Chester, Bangor, and Ireland ; as well as nearly direct access to the Staffordshire Potteries and iron districts of North Staffordshire ; also to Shrewsbury and North and South Wales. Southward, it will give a good communication to Derby, Birmingham, Droitwich, Chel tenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and Southampton. This line will commence at Lincoln, and go nearly direct to East Retford, Worksop, and Chesterfield, where it it will join the Mid land Railway, the Chesterfield and Sheffield Railway, and also the proposed North Derbyshire lines, which proceed direct to Manchester and Liverpool, and North Staffordshire. In length it will be about 56 miles. A section of the line will commence at Gainsborough, and join the main line at East Retford : a branch will be made from Worksop to join the Midland near Beighton, so as to give railway accommoda tion to Rotherham and the nortern districts. This branch will take the course of the Chesterfield Canal, which it is proposed to use in its construction. A glance at the map will at once show the importance of this national undertaking. In connexion with other lines it will form the moat direct and valuable trunk line from east to west than has yet been offered for public support; it will join together nearly by a direct route the most important manufaetur ng towns of Lancashire and North Stafforlshire, with the rich corn-growing districts of Lin coln and Nottinghamshire, and will give to the rising ports of Great Grimsby and Wainfleet a most perfect access from nearly all the great manufacturing districts of the west. The project, comprehensive and integral in itself, interferes with no vested interests, and will form a considerable auxiliary and feeder to the various lines with which it connt cts itself. It will offer a great advantage to the public from its union with the Chesterfsld Canal, for that portion of the canal, not used for the railway, will give ex tensive local accommodation, by affording many more points of con tact with the consumer. It is thought unnecessary to present any detailed estimate of _ traffic, as it must be obvious from the abovj outline of the objects to be accomplished, apd the rich, populous, and productive agricul tural and manufacturing districts to be traversed and connected, and the extent of inexhaustible coal-fields and lime and stone quarries in the immediate neighbourhood of the line, that the project presents a most advantageous Investment for capital, and will afford an ample remuneration to the shareholders; in proof of which reference may be made to the printed yearly accounts of the Chesterfield Canal Company, which for an average of 10 years, commencing in 1834, show a dividend of above 91. per cent. per annum. Independently, however, of the local traffic, the through traffic between the ports on the east coast, and the various districts to the west, and the exports and imports which will bo conveyed, cannot fail to be most productive, and to give the shareholders a good return for the outlay of their capital. To the inhabitants of the various towns and districts which this line traverses a complete system of railway accommodation will be given ; and the bare mention of the project has called forth a spon taneous offer of support from almost every direction. A general survey of the line has already been made, and instruc tions have been given for the necessary ground surveys, with a view of obtaining an Act in the ensuing session of Parliament, and such surveys arc in so forward a state as to preclude the possibility of dis appointment. Power will be given in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum, from the time of payment until the opening of the line, and no liability will be ineuned by any subscriber beyond the zunotmt of subscription. In the allotment of shares the Committee will give a preference to parties locally interested, and in all cases satisfactory reference will be required to a banker or to some person of known respectability. Applications for prospectuses and shares may be made to the soli citors and to the secretary.

It commences at the Farnborough station of the South-Western Rail way, crossing the Great Western line between Slough and Maiden head, and terminates on the Oxford and Rugby line of railway at Heyford, beyond Oxford, on the route to Birmingham, accommo dating in its course. Bracknell, Sunning-hill,Bagshot, Ascot, Windsor, Great Marlow, High Wycombe, Princes Risborough. Thome, liticester, and many other places at present without railway com munication. It will form the most direct route from London to Banbury, War wick, and Bit mingham, and by the Grand Junction Railway t Man chester, Liverpool, Lancaster, and Carlisle, and by the Caledonia' Railway to Olas - ow and Edinburgh ; also from Crewe to Chester, Birkenhead, and Holyhead, thus opening the most direct corrununica tion with Dublin. It will also by the branch to Oxford, in connexion with the Cheltenham and Oxford line, form the most direct route to South Wales, Waterford, and the south of Ireland, as well as by the Ox ford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line to Worcester, and conse quently to all the central portion of Wales, thus forming the shortest route to all Wales and Ireland. The length of this line will not exceed 64 miles, and It will save an average distance of 14 miles to each of the before-mentioned places, as compared with the rotate now traversed by the Great Western Railway. It is satisfactory to state that there are no engiaeering difficulties, and that the land is the least valuable of any ia the coun ties through which this line is intended to pass, avoiding, as it does, parks and ornamental property. To the advantages offered to the above places, by saving about fourteen miles in the transits to London, must be added that of con necting them with the South-Western and the Reading and Reigate lines, affording passengers an opportunity of proceeding to South ampton, Portsmouth, Isle of Wight, Dover, Brighton, and all adja cent places, without the necessity of passing through tie metropolis, thereby saving much time and inconvenience. It will be seen from the f :regoing facts that the formation of this line will afford very great advantages to nearly all parts of England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, as it will materially facilitate the de livery of their many marketable products by opening another and more direct route to London. It is not, therefore, too much to ex p:et that, independently of a great local traffic, there will be also an immense through traffic brought on this line, which must pay at least 10 per cent. on the capital required. This is manifest, as the construction of the line will not cost 20,0001. per mile, while the London and Birmingham Railway cost 53,000/. per mile, upon which enormous outlay it continues to ray 15 per cent. Slim'eholders in the Grand Junction, Great Western, South Western, Oxford and Rugby, Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhamp ton, and Birmingham and Oxford Junction Railways will have a pre ference in the allotment of shares after parties locally interested. The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share holders beg and the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament shall be obtained ; and power will be taken in the Act to allow four per cent. interest on all calls until the line be completed, which, from the nature of the ground to be gone over, is not expected to exceed two years. The Committee have decided, in compliatre with the suggestions of landowners of great influence, to form branches from the Theme station on the proposed main line to Oxford and Aylesbury, thereby establishing a direct communication between those important places. Application for shares may be made, in the annexed form, to the following shareitrokers :—London : Mr. W. West, Capel-court ; Mr. Benjamin Rankin, Tokenhousc-yard ; Mr. M. L.

The Provisional Committee of the North London Junction Rail way Company have great satisfaction in informing their subscribers that negotiations are now pending between the Provisional Commit tee of this Company and the Directors 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 tragic north of London. To effect this important object, an area of 10 acres of grouxd (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 of the architect and engineer is of so favourable a character as !o have induced the Provisional Committee to determine on purchasing the entire site, and it has, therefore, been resolved b., them to in crease the capital of this Company to 1,300,0801. The Provisional Committee consider it of paramount importance to secure within the limits of their City terminus, the amplest and mast complete accommodation for the traffic of each of the railway companies who may co-operate with them, an object which will be enacted 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 Shoreditch, which will effect an entire junction between the eastern and western parts of the metropolis ; and at the same time afford a direct communication between the whole of the rail ways, which reach London tahe 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 metropolis. Independently, therefore, of the almost incalculable local traffic which the position of their City terminus will ensure to this Coin ',any, will be added that of those companies also who will eventually co-opera - e with the North London Junction Railway Company, and the perfection of a project of no ordinary magnitude and importance will be realised throughout the whole of this short but very valuable line of railway. A lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the entire district tlirce;gh which this Company proposes to run this line; by this means the most casual observer wilt be enabled to ascertain that the environs of London, north of the Thames, will be placed in immediate commuaication with the City ; while the dense popu lation of the City will enjoy a faci•ity of connexion with its suburban localities, necessarily affording it the greatest accommodAties. With such important local resources, therefore, together with the vast traffic on which the shareholders of this Company have a right to rely for profit, a large amount of revenue may be fairly and justly anticipated, hilly commensurate with the outlay of the proposed capital. That reveille will be derived thus : The daily passenger traffic on the Great Western amounts to 3,145, one-half of which reaches the City. The London and Bir mingham amounts to 4,322 daily, two-thirC.s of which reach the City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,409 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 from the suburban districts reaching the City, new uu accommodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily: From these sources the following products are derived:— Per Aim Passengers from the Great Western and Birmingham Rail way, at 6d. each.. ... ..... ...... Passengers from the Eastern Counties to the City terminus of this Company, at 3d. each ...... .. Omnibus passengers' traffic, at 6d. each, as take' at 12,06 167,929 present.. 142,206 tons of goods and parcels pass annually from the Great Western and the Londoa and Birmingham Rail ways Into the City, at an average cost of carriage of 3s. 6d. per ton throughout.

The capital, as now extended, will be divided Into 65,009 shares of 201. each, upon which a deposit of 21. is. per share will be payable forthwith. A portion of the shares will be allotted to parties locally interested. The remainder will be distributed amongst the present shareholders and the public generally, upon application being made by them in a manner hereinafter mentioned. The Directors, in compliance with the advice of their Parlia mentary Agents, deem it expedient, in consequence •f the recent standing crtkrs of the House of Lords, to require a deposi cf 101. per cent. The shareholders are, therefore, requested, in order to carry this arrangement into efect, to deposit their scrip certificate with the Secretary, on or before the Ist of October next, in exchange for which they will obtain a certificate upon which the bankers 01 the Company will receive the amount of the difference payable, and, upon preducing the receiptand signing the new Parliamentary Deeds, fresh scrip will be delivered to them.

It will afford the most easy access through the medium of the Great Western Railway to the inhabitants of Reading, Maidenh ea d, Windsor, Staines, Kingston, Epsom, and the principal intermediate towns, to Dover, Brighton, Hastings, and the other watering-places on the coast of Kent and Sussex. Ireland, Wales, Liverpool, Birmingham, Bristol, and the manu facturing districts in the West of England will thus obtain a more direct, less tedious and expensive communication with the Continent than by the way of London. The length of line as proposed will be twenty-seven miles ; and, after a careful examination, no engineering difficulty presents itself, as it runs for more than half the distance on a level, and traverses a country that must be greatly benefited by this project. The Company will be in a situation to deposit the Parliamentary plans and sections in ample time for complying with the standing orders, and enabling them to apply for an Act in the ensuing session. The shortness of the line, and the quantity of passenger and mer cantile traffic that the line will command, leaves no doubt of an ample return for the investment of capital.

At a meeting of the inhabitants and owners of property in Hounslow and its vicinity, held on Saturday, the 11th instant, in pur suance of a requisition most numerously and respectably signed, HENRY POWNALL, Esq., Spring-grove, Brentford, in the chair, It was proposed by G. COOPER, Esq., seconded by Mr. Wa.LanAN, and unanimously resolved— 1. That it is highly desirable that railway communication be established between Hounslow and London, and that it be as direct as the nature of the country will permit, and follow as closely as possible the course of the old coach thoroughfare. Proposed by Major JELF SHARP, seconded by B. J. ARMSTRONG, Esq., and unanimously resolved— 2. That having heard and considered a statement of the course which the projected line of Mr. Page will take, this meeting Is of opinion that such line is most highly calculated to promote the interests of this town and neighbourhood, and presents a prospect of far greater advantage than any line crossing the river, and not pro ceeding directly to the centre of the metropolis. Proposed by JAS. MONTGOMERY, Esq. ; seconded by Mr. KING and unanimously resolved— + 3. That the line projected by Mr. l'Age is particularly entitled to the support of the inhabitants of this town and neighbourhood for the following amongst other reasons :- 1. That it is the line originally proposed by the inhabitants of this district. 2. That it follows the direct course of the ancient thoroughfare from Hounslow to London, without crossing the River Thames. 3. That means having been taken for extending the original ter minus from Milibank to the immediate vicinity of Charing-cross, it presents a more convenient access to the metropolis than any other "--- That this meeting, therefore, pledge themselves to give every assist ance in promoting the success of this line. The thanks of the meeting were unanimously voted to Henry Pownall, Esq., as well for his kindness in taking the chair, as for the ability with which he presided over the meeting.
