This railway Is intended to commence at the termiand of and =nits with the Nottingham and Lincoln Railway, at Lincoln, and to proeead by or near Wragby and Market Raisen to Great Grimsby, with a branch from or near Market Raisen to Louth, and a branch from the main line near to and through Wragby to Horneastle. The length of the main line from Lincoln to Grimsby will be about 82 Wiles, the branch to Louth about 10 miles, and the branch to ilenteastle about 14 miles—together 56 miles. The advantages of the line will be self-evident to those acquainted with the locality ; amongst other benefits, it !nay be observed, that this lice will form a direct and speedy eemmunication between the port of Groat Grimsby and the midland and western counties, as well as the metropolis ; and the port of Great Grimsby (which may now be looted upon as the future Liverpool of the Humber) is admitted by maritime and practical men to be the best situated northern port'of bland tim the whole of the markets of the continental Europe. ghinee at the map of Europe will show its superfer local advantages. The completion of this undertaking will facilitate a passenger traftle as well as the transmission of grain, cattle, butter, wool, tim bee, stone , lime, manure, and other goods and merchandise, to and tom the great ces towns of Bir vemingham, Coventry, Leiter, Derby, .Nottingham. Manchester, Lirpool, and the intermediate towns and mounfaeturing districts, and will open the coal-fields of Nottingham shirr, Leieestershire.• and Derbyshire, to Lincolnshire, and a direct conitiunication between the midland and western counties and the porbof Great Grimsby for ex- ortation and impartation to and from the vaarkets of enminental Europe. It will likewise render easy of access that ancient and now Inuch-frequented and improving sea bathing place Cleethorpee, to and from which place a large amount of paisenger traftte may be relied on, being within the distance of two miles from the proposed terminus at Great Grimsby. The county of Lincoln abounds in agricultural productions, whilst It Is believed an Inadequate recompense has hitherto accrued to these engaged therein, by reason of which both produce and land mein been depreciated in value, but now important advantages will present themselves to both the agricultural and mercantile in terest. The eradicate of the line are exceedingly favourable, and the expanse of oonstraction will be unusually low; the promoters have therefore every reason to anticipate a most satisfactory return for the capital to be invested. The plan of this Company also comprises one of great satiosal in to est, when viewed In connexion with other Improvements of the Tort of Great Grimsby, and the formation of a harbour of renige for tie German and Baltic Seas. The Committee of Management have much pleasure in announc ing to the public that this undertaking has the cordial approval and .aappert of the Midland Railway Company. Application will be made for power to allow interest at the rate of 41. ecr oent. on all deposits and calls paid up, and for restricting the llabth,ty of shareholders to the amount of their respective shares.

The communication by railway between these important towns and the continuous hop and cider districts has been entirely left unprovided for by existing arrangements. and this line is brought forward under the auspices of the Great Eastern and Western Railway Company, on the strong representations and request of a large and most influential body of the landed gentry of the neigh bourhood. The object proposed is to make a direct communication between Leominster, Bromyard, and Worcester, which latter town has always been the natural market for the produce of these districts, and to af ford the inhabitants the most direct communication with London, as eompared with other lines, by upwards of 30 miles. No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the act is ob tained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at 41. per cent. on all calls from the time of their respective payments, as well as to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscrip tions.

The object of this undertaking is to form an unbroken link or communication with all the existing railways, by which means more particularly the Western, Southern, Eastern, . South-Eastern, and South western parts of the kingdom map' be traversed IYom the Northern Districts, without the necessity of making the metropolis a resting-place either for passengers or 'goods : and thus obviating considerable expense and great lop of time. The length of the main line will be 62 wiles, oommencing at Hert ford, (which has already a branch to the North-Eastern Railway), continuing its oonrse by Hatfield, St. Alban's, to Watford, where it will eross the London and Birmingham Railway, front theme to Rickmaneworth, Uxbridge, and West Drayton, where it will pass under the Great Western Railway, proceeding by Colnbrook, (having a branch to Windsor from the main line at Horton), cross the Thames at Staines, to Egharn, Chertsey, passing into tho South Western Railway at the Weybridge Station, approaching Cobham, Leather head, Dorking, and terminating at Reigate, where it will form a Junction with the south-Eastern and London and Brighton Railways. The great distance from each other of the various termini of rail way* in London, has for a length of time occupied the 4ilention of the le gislature and of the interested Companies ; but the great value _ n ope_rty ce has t been an insuperable obstacle to effecting any improve larLe,rilin's7...itc,Zerit,;:cessird t a y fte o r f m a r m or o ui re su d r i v r e e y ct s also from 4 communication pr u es tlic en a t ti pTan fr h o as in The feature of the eounirryt appear surveys thus made and also to meet every desideratum.

Government for a length of time have deemed it advisable to send troops with all their materiel by railways, and the facilities which can be thus afforded will form a communicating medium with ever. , military depot throughout Great Britain. Suffice it to state that coal, wool, timber, corn, bark, lime, an.. every variety of product or manuflicture must inevitably find then transit by this railway, to meet the demands or exigencies of se veral counties hitherto subjeeted to the impost of incalculable ex pense and delay attendant on goods at present being compelled to pass through London.

This Line will join the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway at Chepstow, and extend westward near to Piercifleld, the far-famed Windcliff, and Tintern Abbey, to the towns of Usk and Pontypool, and over the centre of the great iron and coal field of South Wales, passing near to and througk the midst of the extensive iron work➢ and collieries of Monmouthshire and Glamor ganshire, to jein the Aberdare branch of the Taff Yale Railway, which connects Merthyr Tydvil and Aberdare with Cardiff—thus forming a much more direct and almost straight Line—by means of the railways already made and projected between those immensely populous districts, and the centre of the kingdom and London, by means of which the journey by land will be shortened between the metropolis and this great seat of industry to four and a half, and between Newport and Cardiff to five hours, which at present, even by the aid of existing railways, cannot be performed in less than from ton to twelve hours. It will be found by reference to the official census of 1831 and 1841, that the average increase of population of the county of Mon mouth exceeded that of any other county in England or Wales ; this tact Is referred to as Illustrative of the rising importance of the country through which this railway is intended to pass, and of the very large passenger traffic which may reasonably be calculated upon. The town of Usk, with Ragland. and the rich agricultural district for many miles around, are supplied by carts from the vicinity of Pontypool with coal and lime, which are there obtained at a cheap rate, and in return cattle and provisions of all kinds, hay, corn, and pit timber to an enormous extent, are sent to the Iron works and collieries, whore the consumption is immense. This traffic alone ' must necessarily ensure a considerable revenue to the Company, in dependent of the great traffic from the manufactured iron, fire bricks, and paving stone, which is of superior quality, and In great abundance. The present cost of conveying and delivering iron and tin plates from the works to London, including transit to the port, shipping charges, freight, and insurance, amounts to little less than 20s. per ton, whilst by this railway, and those it 18 intended to join, the average cost at the rate usually charged for such goods on rail ways will effect a saving of at least 25 per cent., and be conveyed within twenty-four hours, instead of the average voyage round the Land's End of three, and not unfrequently six weeks, and with the very important advantage of delivering the iron free from rust, which is unavoidable on a sea voyage, in small bars more particu larly, causing a deterioration of from 15s. to 20s. per ton at least. This railway, by means of the Chepstow Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction, and the Birmingham and Gloucester Railways, will open Birmingham as a market for the manufactured iron of South Wales, from which It has been in a measure excluded, from the difficult and expensive transit by the River Severn and Canals. Large quantities ofiron ore, known aa " Hannatete ore," is imported into Wales, from Lancashire, Cumberland, Devon, and Cornwall; whilst ore of a similar quality, and equal productiveness for iron making, exists in abundance in the Forest of Dean, and may be raised and delivered from thence by means of this and the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway to the different iron works in Monmouthshire and Glamorganshlre at an average of from 25 to 30 per cent. less than it costs at present, and at the same time leave a handsome remuneration to the Railway Companies. The Committee of Management have gone very earefully into estimates of the goods traffic especially, and they feel justified in expressing a decided opinion that the revenue from this source alone will yield 5 per cent. on the proposed capital of the Company, in addition to the revenue to be derived from the other traffic. This Railway will pass close to, and within a few miles of, all the iron and tin works of Monmouthshire, and the principal part of those in Glimorganshire ; and the following short statistic of the extent of those stupendous undertakings will give an idea of the vast importance of the present project. The iron and tin works com mence at Pontypool, and are— . I. The Pontym — olle . Tin and Iron Works of Capel Hanbury Leigh, Esq. 2. The Blaendare Iron and Coal Works of R. J. Blewitt, Esq., M.P. 9.

And added to which, in the vicinity, are the extensive' works and collieries in the Aberdare Valley. And on either side of the intended railway are collieries raising and vending about one million and a half tons of coal per anum, which it is not unreasonable to expect will be greatly extended, by the facilities offered through the Intended railway. In the districts of Merthyr, Aberdare, and westward, there exists an inexhaustible abundauce of a peculiar description of coal, which, though inflammable, is nearly smokeless, and is found to be superior in quality for steam purposes to any yet known. In the London market it meets with a ready sale at 30 per cent. higher than any of the best north country Hartley', ; and notwithstanding the high price, so highly is it esteemed, that the present importation amounts to nearly 100,000 tons per annum. This coal for the most part is brought from a distance of 24 miles, and shipped at Cardiff, from whence freights to London have averaged from 10s. to lls. per ton during the peat year; but so uncertain is the supply to the metropo lis, owing to the scarcity of ships on the Welsh coast, and the long and precarious navigation round the Land's End, that many who are anxious to adopt their engine grates for its use, are deterred from the too great uncertainty which exists against obtaining a regular and constant supply ; these difficulties will be entirely superseded by the proposed railway, and these it is intended to join, with the great additional advantage and impetus to increased use and consumption, that it may be delivered to the consumer at from 2s. to 3s. per ton less price than at present. Under such circumstances, it will not appear unreasonable to those unacquainted with the trade, to expect that the consumption in the metropolis alone will be increased four fold, whilst a new-found trade will be opened out with Chepstow, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Witney, Oxford, and the numerous inter mediate towns to London, whore steam coal is used. It has been considered more Judicious to form a separate Company for the Extension line from Chepstow to the Taff Vale, than to alter the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway Company at present, but powers are proposed to be taken for uniting the two Boards of Di rection herea ft er, with th e assent of their respective . Preference will be given to those locally interested, and to the holders of Shares in the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway. A reference to the map will show the importance of this line as forming a direct line of railway communication between the great mineral district of Monmouthshire and Glarnormshire, with the hear* of the Kingdom and London. It may confidently be stated that in connexion with the Chep stow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway, there is not a line of railroad in the Kingdom which offers greater advan tages to the Shareholders than the present. Provision will be made In the Act of Parliament which will be applied for in the next ses sion to limit the liability of the Shareholder 'to the amount of his t e cent. shall n b t obtained, he ea the affairs of this ns Company shall be under the control of the Managing Directors, to Act a I l o o f w P f a .

At Truro At Penzance - - - At Falmouth The object of this line is to effect a direct communication between London and the Land's End. In a national point of view such a line is indispensable. With the advantage of a direct railroad, Falmouth, from its situation at the western extremity of the kingdom, would undoubtedly long since have been the principal port on that coast. With the advantage of at least 280 miles of h eav y road, that place h as attained Its high po sition as a Packet Station. Southampton, with far less natural ad vantages, has, since the opening of the South-Western Railway, in creased its imports from 200,0001. to 3.000,0 00 /' per annum. At Bris tol, before th e open i ng o f the G rea t Western Railway , the imports were declining ; si nce th en th e y h a ve very cons iderably increased. The merits of a li ne t o th e L an d's End as an inves tment for ca pita!, it was no t l e ft to the present C om pany to discover. The Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Railway having already reached Exeter, it has been i n contemp l a tion to extend that line to Fal month by way of Plymouth ; and various other p rojects have been set on foot o n th e convict i on th a t Falmouth must be reached by important eu tport—" the natural P acket S tation of railway. The object of this prospec t us i s to *how that no other line than the present can ultimat e l y sa ti s f y the exigencies of the cou ntr y in regard to this, its most the empire." The present pr o j ec t i s di s ti ngu i s hed by this — that it is direct. It is as nearly as Possible a straight line from L ondon to the Land's End. The London, Bath, an d B r idgewater Company havin g amalga mated with this Company, the immense local influence commanded by them will now contribute to the great national object of a direct line ; while means have been taken for smearing the traffic and afford ing all the accommodation contemplated by that Company. The Direct West ern ava ili ng itself of the Great Western Railway so far as Readin g , pursues its course by or near Newbury , Hunger tbrd, Great Bedwi n, (from which a diverging line will be carried by Marlborough, Devizes , the manufacturing dis trict of Trowbrid ge Bradford direct to Bath), W es tbury, From° , Sh e p ton Mallet, W ells (from which anoth er di verg i ng line will be taken to Bridgewater), Glastonbury to miles than any existin g ra ilways between thes e p oints, and wit hout Taunton, being shorter by about thirty-two a tunnel. From Taunton the Bristol and Exeter Railway (now leased to the Great Western) is traversed to Tiverton, whence it is proposed to carry this line direct to the Land's End, Falmouth, St. Ives, and Penzance, being shorter by about sixt y miles than the latt u ly ce fr prOpo oni u sedlin n e do b n y to wa F y ‘l o m f oPulthym. a saving of about ninety miles. Plymouth, and effecting , in the whole eit hawipspe4 to the train on the upper porliott of the line it le CO QV MOM tllitil that thVit to aireadY through Mae suM. dent to justify the construction of this portion of the Direct Wes tern : that it will shorten the distance from London to 'Tiverton about 32 miles that it will traverse rich and populous agricultural and manufacturing districts, and receive a large amount of traffic as well from railways now in course of construction as from ethers pro jected, with every chance of success. As to the traffic on the lower portion of the line, it is evident that the vast number of merchant vessels continually detained in the Channel by adverse winds, would effect an immense saving both in Insurance and time, by discharging their cargoes at Falmouth, and at once transmitting them to their destination by means of this railway; and therefore—without speculating on the extent to which the ports on either side of the great promontory of the Land's End may, by means of this railroad, attract the commerce respectively of Bristol and Southampton ; to what extent the inexhaustible mineral wealth of Cornwall, and the unrivalled agricultural resources of Devonshire may be further developed, or the genial climate of Penzance and Mount's Bay, " the Montpellier of England," attract aaarger propor tion of winter visitants—it is obvious that this line will command a traffic both in goods and passengers, from its western terminus, the amount of which may be said to be without limit. A glance at the map will make it manifest that no competing trunk line can ever be established between Tiverton and the Land's Eud. As between Taunton and Reading, an inspection of the map will show a vast ex tent of midland distriit, comprising rich and populous parts of So mersetshire, Dorsetshire, and Wiltshire, now altogether destitute of railroad accommodation. Recurring to the features of this project as a national work, one of the greatest in point of magnitude, of vital importance in the event of war, and of almost incalculable advantage to the general and packet commerce of the kingdom; it 'may not be out of place to quote here the following expressions of Sir Robert Peel. Speaking of the project of a direct line from Landon to Liverpool through the Trent Valley, which bore much the same relation to the Birmingham and Grand Junction that this bears to the Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Railways, lie is reported to have said :—"I consider that the com munication between the metropolis and the great outperts to be not a question of hours, bnt a question of minutes." Of the necessity of this particular line, Parliament has already expressed an opinion ; for in the report of the Committee on the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth line, which was promoted by the Great Western Railway Company, it was stated that that Company had been required to pledge itself ■ot hereafter to oppose a direct line to Fahnouth ; and it may be further observed, that a proposed line from Plymouth to Falmouth was last session rejected, on the ground that it might be supposed to interfere with that great national object. .. . . . The survey of the line has been to a great extent completed, and corre't estimates of the expenditure and returns are in a state of for war6l63i, and the whole will be ready for the next cession of Par liament. It is sufficient, as to these points, here to state that there are no engineering difficulties in any part of the line which have not been repeatedly surmounted in other cases ; that the first portion will be c,oustructed at an unusually small expense ; that the undertaking will meet with the cordial support, concurrence, and co-operation of the landowners, and that the Directors are justified in asserting that this will prove to be one of the most remunerative railways in the kingdom. Powers will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at four pounds per centum per annum on the deposits, and preference in the allotment of shares will be given to the proprietors of the land through which the line will pass, and to the shareholders in the Great Western, the Bristol and Exeter, and other railways connected with the Direct Western district.

The geographical position of Worcester has caused its adoption as the point where the broad gauge trunk:lines of the west are to have a common terminus. From Oxford the Great Western Company have decided on constructing a line of rail :—another project under the pa tronage of the same powerfld direction is now before the public, uniting Worcester 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 series of great avenues of iron-road, whose ramification ftom Worcester will render every part of the kingdom directly accessible from 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 seats of our carpet manu factures, and in the towns here named, exclusive of the intervening districts, upwards of 30,000 persons are located. Leaving Stourbridge a little to the east, the line is taken to gridgenorth, a town enjoying an active Inland trade, and possessing woollen manufactures and iron works, that.give employment to a population of about 15,U00. Pass ing through or near to Much Wenlock, Broseley, and Madeley, from goa r e there will be a branch to Shrewsbury, the line amends Dale, an approaching in its clumsy WilllingtOu ant Wens enters Whitchurch. From this central place a branch will be formed to Norwich via Stoke, forming a junction with the Liverpool and Crewe Railway. The trunk line will continue from Whitchurch, and passing through or near Malpas, have its northern terminus in the city of Chester. . . . . In estimating the probable amount of revenue which the Worces ter and Chester 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 Chinananufactories of Worcester, the iron; coal, and earthen ware works at Broseley and other places; the agricultural produce brought to Stourport market ; the inexhaustible fields of coal and mines of iron ore in the vicinity of Colebrock Dale, Ironbridge, and the districts to the east of Shrewsbury generally. In calculating the cost of construction unusual advantages are also obvious. The line traverses a district affording levels of several miles in extent, and with a surface peculiarly favourable. The resi dent population, disappointed by the postponement of promised pro jects, have warmly espoused the present, and the labouring popula tion being familiar with mining operations, will be found better qualified for the execution of railway works here than in many other localities. As a link in the railway network of England, or as auxiliary to existing or projected lines passing in various directions, few schemes hitherto proposed appear to afford greater inducement for investment, or a wider range of accommodation for traffic and travelling. This project constitutes a lengthened link in the chain that will connect Liverpool with Bristol, the grand trunk of the West of England ;—its southern terminus, Worcester, is the half way station of: the London and Portdynnilaen broad gauge line by projected lines a direct communication will be afforded west ward to Swansea and Aberystwith, and, eaalward, to Warwick and Northampton, Cambridge, Peterborough, Harwich, Lynn, Lincoln, and Hull. The line has been repeatedly and carefully examined by the Corn pany's acting engineer, who reports that the rail for many miles may be laid on the natural level—that the gradients are in every is stance favourable—that the geological structure of the districts to be traversed is equally so, and that the want of such a line of com munication is acknowledged by the interests seated en its proposed course.

The great difficulty, delay, and expense attending the transit of passengers and goods 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 i 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, Annotto 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 between the most important and populous places, and facility offered for carriage of the produce of the most productive 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 run 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- Ccles 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 unimported, 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 vita, ebony, Spanish elm, fine cedar, and other trees of enormous bulk. The line will also bring largely into use the valuable pelmet) , 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, &c., of which Long Mountain is com posed, will form 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 be adopted, the necessity for cut tings and embankments will he 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 be 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 sufficient 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 the railway will require but a moderate per centage, and from all the 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 Steam Packet Company, will enable the Directors in this country to exercise an efficient control over the management of the affairs of the island. The Committee propose to make provision in the Local Act for the payment of 4% per cent. interest upon the amount paid upon the shares from the passing of the Bill until the opening of the line. Applications for shares in the usual form may be made to the Provisional Committee, at the offices of the Company, 43, Moorgate-street ; to Messrs. Elmslie and Preston, solicitors, 47, ➢loorgate-street, London; and the following Sharebrokers : Mr. S. H. Ellis, 17, Throgmorton-street ; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39, Lothbury; Mr. D. B.
