Commencing at Lancaster, it will proceed up the valley of the Lune, by Kirkby Lonsdale, Sedbergh, and Kirkby Stephen. and thence by the most practicable line to New castle. It will run nearly parallel with the old coach road, which has hitherto been the principal passenger route from Lancaster to Newcastle. It will readily be conceded- that great benefits will flow from a direct railway communication- between the coal-fields and mining districts of Durham and Northumberland, and the important towns and ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood, Newcastle, and Lancaster. The entire length of thb line II rich in mineral productions—coal slate, Milestone, marble, and other elements of a great local traffic *fund, and cannot fail to make this-one of the most remunerative piejects of the day. A. considerable saving of distance between the important towns on the terntial is effected over any existing er pro jected scheme. It will be reserved tothe Committee of Management to make suck alterations in the line, or the amount of capital required, or other wise, as may be deemed most advantageous to the interests c ithe Company. Power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate of four per cent. on the calls from the passing of the Act to the opening of the line, as well as to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscriptions only.

This line has been projected for the minion of forming the most direct communication between Birmingham and the Midland Coun ties, and the important and rising port of Aberystvrith and the sea coast of Wales. • It is intended to commence at the junction of the Welch Midland and Stour Valley Railways (both of which have projected lines to Birmingham), between Kidderminster and Bewdley, and proceed from thence through Cleobury Mortimer to Ludlow, where it will form a junction with the Worcester and Portdyullaen, and Rridgnorth, Ludlow, and Wolverhampton Railways. From Ludlow it will follow the line of the present mail road, along the Valley of the Tema to Knighton, from which place it is intended to throw off a branch to the Craven Arms, to run into the Shropshire Mineral Railway, which has its terminus at • that place. The line will proceed from Knighton to Llanidloes. where it will join the projected Manchester and Aberystwith Railway, and proceed along that line fir the re mainder of the distance. The use of all projected lines being this sought for, the part to be made will not exceed sixty miles ; and as surveyors are already upon the lino, the plans, Sze., will all be ready to go to Parliament in the ensuing session. The advantages of the present line over any other projected rail way between Birmingham and Aberystwith are:—That it is the most direct route between the respective termini ; that it passes through a district at present unprovided with railway accommoda tion ; that by it and the Birmingham, `Stamford, and Boston lines, a regular chain of railway communication is opened between St. George's Channel and the Gorman Ocean; and by the Great Eastern and Western line a communication is also opened with Yarmouth, Norwich, and King's Lynn ; that it will open the slate ..... , sonshire, and the limestone of Radnorshire to Shrop shire, and the what.. or rho midland counties ; while, on the ether band, by the branch from the Craven arms, tut. cosh or Shropshire will be brought into Radnorshire, Montgomeryshire, and Cardigan shire, where that article does not exist, at little more than one-third of its present cost. From these and other sources of trafllcH must be obvious that a high rate of interest upon the capital embarked may be depended upon. The line throughout the whole distance meets with the most influ ential local support, so as to ensure its complete success. There are no engineering difficulties of any magnitude, and no ornamental property will bo invaded. Should the atmospheric pincl ple be fully tested and be found to answer, it will be adopted on this line. The responsibility of the shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions, and pawd,will be taken in the Act to allow in terest at four per cent. on the calls. The Committee reserve the usual power to amalgamate with any other existing Company or Companies, to limit or vary the line, as to them shall seem most expedient, in order to carry out the objects of the Company.

The Committee of Management of the Leicester and Belford Rail way Company have much pleasure in announcing to the shareholders that they have made arrangements with the London and York Rail way Company, by which they will be enabled to carry their traffic along the London and York Railway, from Hitchin into London, on the same scale of charge as upon their own line, and will also receive ample station room and accommodation at the London and York Railway terminus at King's-cross, and have also made other arrange• ments which cannot fail to be highly satisfactory to the shareholders. The Committee of Management have also to state that arrange ments haute been entered into with lines proceeding northward from Leicester, by which the Leicester and Bedford Railway will form part of as direct a communication as can be obtained between London and Manchester. The Committee have also to announce that the deposit on the capital of the Company is paid up, and duly invested at interest; that the surveys of the whole line are completed, and that the en engraved plans and books of reference will be ready in ample time for deposit with the clerks of the peace. They have also the further gratification of stating that they con tinue to receive from all the influential landowners on the line ex pressions of their approbation, and assurances of their cordial support.

The allusion to the meeting which took place in Manchester on the 24th of October last with the Committee of the Sheffield, Buxton, Leek, Potteries, and Crewe Railway, contained in the circular of the 3d November, signed " G. C. Holland, Chairman," and addressed fo the applicants for shares in the proposed Great Grimsby, Sheffield, the Potteries, and Grand Junction Railway, is evidently, from the ambiguity of its phraseology intended to serve a particular purpose. The proposal for an amalgamation of the two undertakings above named was made by the promoters of the Great Grimsby, Sheffield, the Potteries, and Grand Junction Railway, and not by the• Pro visional Directors of the Sheffield, Buxton, Leek, Potteries, and Crewe Railway. The latter feel that the adoption of any other course than the one they decided upon on the 24th ult. could not have proved otherwise than injurious to the interest of their shareholders. It is stated in the circular, that negotiations are now pending, with every prospect of success, of a nature which must materially enhance the value of this undertaking; in reply to which it is sufficient to state that, whatever the negotiations here alluded to may be, none whatever are pending between the Sheffield, Buxton, Leek, Pot teries, sad Crowe, and Great Grimsby, Sheffield, the Potteries, and Grand Junction Committees.

Jones, Esq. The port of Boston affords the readiest outlet for exports from the manufacturing districts to the north of Europe, and the importance of direct corinounication from the midland counties to a place so ad vantageously situate cannot be over-estimated. Leicester has, or shortly will have, direst commanication with Birmingham, and all the other important towns in the midland listrict. The Midland Railway Company is extending the communication to Melton Mowbray, by means of its branch from Systoi to Peter borough, which passes through that place. There is also a complete line of railway about to be established from Nottingham, through Grantham sad relkingham, to Boston, as well as to Spalding, Wis beach, Lyan Yarmouth, and other important towns is the eastern counties. The Leicester, Melton Mowbray, and Boston Direct Union Rail way, by forming a line from Melton Mowbray to Folkinghara, will supply the only link wanting to complete a direct through cenunini ' cation from Birmingham, Warwick, Worcester, Coventry, and the manufacturing districts generally, to Boston, as well as by means of existing and projected railways from Wales and the Bristol Channel, to that seaport. The length of the proposed line will cot exceed twenty-six riles ; and as it will pass through a country very favourable for engiseer ing purposes, the expense of construction will, it is expected, be less than the usual average. The admirable position of this railway can not fail, it is confidently expected, to command a large return, both in passengers and In goods traffic. The Company will be in a sitaation to deposit the Parliamentary plans and sections in ample time for complying with the startitng orders, and enabling then to apply for their Act Ia the ensuing session.

SECRETARY —William Ranyard, Esq. • The first object of this line is to connect the town of Birmingham Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route and to supply an important link of communication between the towx of Spalding and the eastern coast, and the western and midland districts. Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereham, Lynn, and Holbeach Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn, Witham, Castle Bytham, South Wytham, and Wymondham, to a point, on the Syston and PeterberOugh line of railway near Melton- Mowbray, thus forming, by' the Syston and Peterborough and Mid roe“i- floenties Railway, an almost direct route to Leicester , a n d thence to Coventry min im.,..foebam by the proposed Coventry, Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway. The projected line will form the most direct communication be tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, and will, by means of the proposed lines across the county of Leicester, via Bur ton-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincela, Norfolk, Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by many miles than any other line of railway. It will form, with other projected railways, an almost direct line across the kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, on the east, to Aberystwith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the west. The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. There is no tunnel ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary; the line from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve miles, is very level, and may be constructed at a small cost. ' It will secure the advantages of railway communication to a tract or country at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open ing out sources of trade undeveloped for want of the means of transit. The central midland districts have felt greatly the want of direct communication with the coast ; and this line will at once supply the deficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire. It will afford a transit for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon supply from the north at high prices: it will also secure the advan tages of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershire works, to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, which are at present only supplied at very high rates ; and, in return traffic, the midiend dis tricts will obtain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk. S evera l proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding , which is the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, and connected by the River Welland with the German Ocean. The proposed capital will be sufficient for the construction of the necessary works and every subsequent expense ; and the income derivable from the traffic in passengers between Birmingham, Co ventry, Leicester, Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Boston, the trans port of corn, cattle, and other produce of the great agricultural districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland districts, will be sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay. The Parliamentary surveys have been commenced, and are now in active progress, and contracts have been entered into which en sure sufficient time for compliance with the standing orders. Forms of application for shares, pans, and prospectuses may be be addressed to the had of the Solicitors ; also at the offices of the Company, 4, Tra falgar-square, Charing • cross,. where applications for shares, accom panied by . respectable references, may Provi sional Committee.

In submitting this undertaking to the public, the promoters—a numerous and highly influential class—have been influenced no less by the general facilities pre s ented for its construction, by the fa vourable character of the country through which it is Intended to pass, than by the conviction of its great local and general import ance as a direct connecting line between North and South Wales, Shrewsbury, fLichfleld, Tamworth, Derby, and Leicester, and the Midland and Eastern Counties generally. To effect this desideratum, the formation of a new line of 19 or 20 miles only will be required ; communicating with the Trent Valley Railway at Lichfield, and uniting with flte Shrewsbury, Wolverhamp ton, Dudley and Birmingham, or Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire Junction Railways, at Shiffnal. It is a remarkable fact that Shrewsbury, the outlet of North Wales, has been hitherto altogether disregarded in the range of ex isting railways, particularly towards the east, the nearest being at the distance of 28 miles. The town of Shrewsbury, now 95 miles Prom Leicester by road and railway, will, by means of this and the other projected limes, be brought within 65 miles. When the ordinary passeng er traffic, and the vast transit o f cat tle, together with the coal, mineral, and agricultural distric ts t o b e ' h ar is ec e to the reonsidei 'it is obvious that the constr uc ti on o f thi s Company a most lucrative re t urn f or th e l t i r n a e ve ,s r , s i e n d insure andthof modernat undertakings, whilst it will , as an investment, it m us t ran k among im part a d v antages of the highest importance, both to England and the thecap cap i tal s e t ni advantageousloyed ; principality. The immense droves of Welsh and Shropshire cattle will at once be conveyed into the important cattle markets of Derby shire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk, whilst, in return' , the agricultural produce of those comi ties will be sent into the densely-populated localities of Birmingham and Wolverhampton, and the Staffordshire, Shropshire, and Welsh ironworks. The several projected railways passing from Worcestershire and Herefordshire in the direction of Chester and Liverpool, will be im portant tributaries to the revenue of this line, which will be still further augmented by its joining the Grand Junction, near to t►e Spread Eagle Station. at a short distance from Wolverhampton. The facilities which will be afforded to visitors to Matlock, and the rest of the picturesque scenery of Derbyshire, and of North Wales and Aberyawith, as well as to travellers via Holyhead to Ireland, will still further conduce to the general utility of the project.
