It will pass through the central portion of the great coal-field of Glarnorganshire, where iron-stone also abounds with the coal in im mense quantities, and laying, geologically speaking, nearly flat, and, obtainable, for the most part, by proper levels. The coal in addition to its being of excellent quality for iron making, as is proved at Mer thyr and Aberdeen, is also, like that of those districts, of the very best description for steam purposes, being nearly smokeless, although inflammable, indeed so pre-eminently is the superiority of this de scription of coal established for steam purposes over any other, that the demand for it far exceeds the supply, and promises, accord ing to the opinion of the most eminent marine engineers, to super sede all others for purposes of steam navigation. This source of traffic alone will afford a handsome return for the capital invested, as has been demonstrated in every instance where even tram-roads or canals have been constructed to open the mineral resources of ether less promising Tallies in Wales than the Rhondda, which is cele brated for the abundance, quality, and facility of obtaining its pro ductions. An inexhaustible supply of limestone (so necessary for the manu facture of Iron and for agricultural purposes) may be obtained by means of this Railway, m uch nearer and cheaper than by any other lin THE GREAT MANCHESTER, RUGBY, AND SOUTHAMPTON RAILWAY, WITH A DIRECT LINE FROM DERBY TO RUGBY.

THOMPSON and DEBENHAM, } Joint Solicitors. ED WARDS, MASON. and EDWARDS, WORCESTER, HEREFORD, and GLOU CESTER RAILWAY. The Committee of Management, in consequence of receiving daily applications for shares in this Company, beg to state th it the lists of applhations have been closed for some time. The allotment is now in progress, and the letters will be issued as soon as the requisite examination has taken place. The Committee regret that the number of shares applied for having so greatly exceeded the number at their disposal, they will be compelled iu all cases greatly to reduce the number applied for, and to omit entirely many applications from respectable parties to whom they would otherwise have been desir ous to make allotments. 0 f This Ely and l ine Rhonddawill mucht h e desiredi er es I n communicationp °p a Io n of w t l i' th e rich tle great yales market town and port of Cardiff, front whence, at present, they may be said to be almost excluded. It is intended that the line shall commence at Blaen Rhondda, the head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down by a natural pass between the hills at Ffrwd Amws, a distance of eight miles, where it will enter the Ely Valley and proceed down (a further distance of six miles) to Lanelay-bridge, near Lantrissent, and there join the South Wales Railway, thus opening a communication ander the most advantageous circumstances as to distance, with all the ports in the Bristol channel. A preliminary survey has already been made by competent par ties, and it is found that the country admits of highly favourable gradients, so much so that It is confidently anticipated that the works will be executed very considerably under the advertised ca pital.

The first line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the Loughborough station en the Midland Counties line, and pro ceed through the Vale of Sheepshead, to Pegs Green Colliery, near to the terminus of the Leicester and Swannington Rail waf, and from thence through the coal-fields of gwanaington and Cole-Orton to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. It will thence proceed across the Moira Coal-field and through the rich agricultural districts of Seal, Clifton Campvilie, and Edingale, to the Birmingham and Derby Railway, which it will cross near to Elford Park Farm, and thence traverse the Valley of the Tame until it reaches Alrewas, where it will form a junction with the branch of the Trent Valley line new in progress of making. At this point it also meets the proposed South Staffordshire line, by which means it reaches Lichfieleiond by means of one of the proposed lines it will afford communication with Bir mingham. From Loughborough the line will be further continued to Asfordby, on the Syston and Peterborough Railway, now in progress, and by means of this latter line a direct intercourse will be opened with Melton Mowbray and the various towns through which that route passes to Peterborough. By means of its junction with the Trent Valley line at Alrewas, the Grand Trunk reaches Colwich, and there meets the proposed North Staffordshire line, which proceeds through the heart of the Potteries to _Newcastle-under-Lyne, Leek, and Macclesfield. By means also of the same Trent Valley line at Alrewas the Grand Trunk pro ceeds through Rugeley to Stafford, thus completing its route, and forming a connecting line between the Midland and Grand Junction Railways. This branch of the Hoe was formerly surveyed by Mr. Rastrtck, and approved of by him as a canal communication, so that no engineering difficulties exist. The second line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the Derby station, and taking the course of the Derby Canal proceed to Chellaston, where there are extensive plaster-works, and thence by Swarkestone to the river Trent, which it will cross near to the ferry at Weston Cliffe, and so proceed to Kings Newton and Melbourne. From the latter place it will pass by the village of Wilson to Breedon-on-the-Hill, where there are extensive lime-works, and thence proceed by Staunton Harold, communicat ing by a branch line with the lead, lime, and coal works there; ,hence by the Lount Colliery to Worthington Rough, where it will junction with the first line of the Grand Trunk at or nea r th e Pegs follow the line of the Cole-Orton and Swannin g to n R a il way until its c ro ti p o o n se w d it G h re th a e t Green Colliery, and so p r oc ee d f rom th ence t o A s hb y-de-la-Zouch. a th j e un p proposed At A si Nottinghamb y : d -la o u andc the Birmingham, Grand Trunk andt l forms h Manchester, Rugby, and Southampton Railways. Its importance as a line for passengers is too obvious for comment, forming as it does a complete junction between those two great thoroughfares, the Mid land and Grand Junction Railways, and by its branch from Derby to Ashby-de-la-Zouch another complete junction between the Great Northern and Southern lines now in progress, thus opening a direct line of communication to all parts of the kingdom. As a line for traffic, the Grand Trunk will form the most direct tsansit to the Leicestershire, Staffordshire, and Shropehire iron and coal fields, to the Burton breweries, to North and South Wales, and Ireland to Scotland, and all parts of the north, and to the eastern, southern, and western parts of the empire. It will also be the nearest and most direct communication from the east to the north western manufacturing districts, as well as become the great route from all parts of the kingdom to the midland counties of England. The mineral resources are of the very highest order. The Moira coal-field is inexhaustible, whilst the coal-beds at Staunton Ilarold alone comprise the finest quality of Kennel to a depth of seven feet, with a super stratum of main coal to a depth of six feet. The sub stratum is yet to be worked. There are beds of Kennel and main coal at Cole Orton of equal quality, though net of equal depth with those of Staunton Harold, whilst the main coal at Swannington is un rivalled, being, in fact, the bowl of the Leicestershire and Derbyshire coal strata. It is needless to describe the beneficial results which must arise from this opening of the midland coal district to the Lon don and southern markets. At Staunton Harold and Calke exist rich veins of lead ore, now in full course of working. The properties of the Breedon, Staunton Harold, and Ticknall lime are so well known to agriculturists and others, that an extension of traffic for so valuable a commodity into mare remote districts must be of the utmost importance to the practical fanner. In approaching the Trent, on leaving the lime district, the Grand Trunk will fall in with most valuable quarries of millstone grit, ser viceable for paving and building purposes, and for which a ready market would be found along the line. The country also abounds in gypsum, of which Immense quantities arc used in Birming ham and elsewhere : these markets will thus become opened for the quarries at Chellaston. A new and extensive outlet will also be opened for the earthenware of Wooden Box and Griesley Potteries. Until the Act of Parliament be obtained, the affairs will be under the control of the Committee of Management, to whom power is given to allot the shares and apply the funds of the Company in payment of all proper expenses in the formation of the Company and otherwise. Power will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime the Committee of Management take power, to alter or extend the lines, to make branch lines, to abandon any part of the line, to raise addi tional capital, and to enter into arrangements with any other Com pany or empanici.

This line will commence at the Long Eaton station of the Midland Counties Railway, and will proceed in a direct line to or near Castle Donington, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Measham, and Market Bosworth to Nuneaton; joining, at Market Bosworth, the Birmingham branch, projected by the Tamworth and Leicester Company, and at Nuneaton, the projected Coventry, Nuneaton, Birmingham, and Leicester p ey or l t i a n i e lt .

A reference to the map will show that this railway will also eom mend other collateral advantages. There is no doubt that the proposed railway communication be tween Cheltenham and Warwick will be effected, in which case the proposed line will fill up the railway chasm at present existing be tween the counties of Gloucester and Worcester, and Nottingham and Lincoln. and thus form a direct line from the Severn at Glouces ter to the Ilumber at Great Grimsby. An amalgamation of the Great Grimsby and Sheffield Junction with the Grimsby Dock Company being now determined on, a large amount of capital will be expended in rendering Great Grimsby a port of the first importance ; and it must be obvious that the traffic to that port, from the district south west of Warwick, will be very great. The distance saved by the proposed line between Leamington, Warwick, Coventry, and Nottingham, will be about twenty miles ; and between Birmingham and Nottingham, the saving will be about six miles. Being the shortest route from Birmingham to Not tingham and Lincoln, it must secure the traffic from Birmingham to Nottingham, Newark, Lincoln, and the port of Great Grimsby ; and by joining with the Erewash Valley Railway at Long Eaton, it must command the traffic from Coventry, Warwick, and the district south of those towns to Sheffield, Leeds, York, and the north of England generally. It will also afford a direct communication between Not tingham Worceste r and the dist r i c t b eta eon Warwick and Worcester, by means of the proje c t e d W orcester, Warwick, and Rugby, and the Warwick completed . his The entire length of the line will b e a b ou t 2tl miles. The Com ymade his report, th a t the character ofprtehleimciontaurlytrysutrlvireoytighanwdhhicash the line is intended to pass is unusually favourable for engineering Purposes. It passes directly through a very productive mineral district, in tersecting the Leicestershire coal-fields and lime-works, and will afford communication north and south, to the Derbyshire Potteries. With such an assured immediate and prospective amount of traffic, the profits en the small capital required cannot fail t• be highly re munerative. Powers for allowance of interest at four per cent. en the paid-up capital will be taken, and the liability of shareholders limited to the amount of their subscriptions. TABLE OF DISTANCES.

The distance by iivii be e t a o Manchester and Rugby, and Lond o n and Birmingham ' and 19 1 is 188 miles, whereas by th e p resen t rou t e it i s 210 mile& y 2 oleo Trent Valley Railway 200 1 ,% miles ; effecting a saving of sea one instance, and 12% miles in the other. nee el. And as regards Liverpool and Derby, the whole ',nut t leso Liverpool and Derby will be reduced by this line to tt- , 5 1, a (t o thus decreasing the distance by any present existing rail c tion „re 46 miles; an edvantage which carries in itself the WO' flo e Ot is necessity there is for the proposed railway, in order to go th , 00 0 , immediately two such important towns, especially ,wh en „., e re di ° are but the foci, as it were, for other railways from sto' e d localities, as before adverted to. the la l ' PA. , - ) The distance also from Manchester to Leek (wher e t railway will unite with the Manchester and Rugby will be about 30 miles, and from Leek to Derby about 'l O O l O 56 1 t Dlrec_,„ making the whole distance from Manchester to DetbYt c an miles ; and thus diminishing the distance by any preoeil sit obje ct cation between those important towns by about 28 Ta n n to rtecall most desirable to he attained, and of itself quite sufficlea mend a line of railway embracing such beneficial fa 004; But great as these results most certainly will be, OF; e l 'i - tjuna ti t ;, weighed by the very important consideration that. goo hot with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway, will of Ju n most direct route from Liverpool to London. • ed point _,,0; The distance from Liverpool to Leek (the proPos 434 Vor tion with the Manchester and Rugby Direct RailwaYi, - be the to from Leek to Rugby, according _ to the line as proPos ,- ' gory t o chester and Rugby Direct Railway, 58 m iles, and tw.t e tpOet London 13 miles ; thus making the whole distance f rom London 188% miles, instead of 210, by the present route.

This line will diverge from the line of the Great Eastern and Western Railway, near Worcester, and proceeding by Brom yard, will end at Leominster, at which point it will unite with the proposed lines connecting Hereford and Shrewsbury with North Wales. 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 lauded 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 compared 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 4/. 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 line from Lyons to Avignon is to be constructed under the law of the 16th July, 1845, which is to be made by the Company, and to be completed within four years from the date of the Ordinance con firming the adjudication. The Government reserves the power of purchasing the lease at the expiration of nineteen years from the 'adjudication, paying for the residue of the term to the Company an annual sum, calculated on the average of the nett proceeds of the five best of the preceding seven years, but not in any event less than the nettproceeds of the last year of the seven. The Company will be constituted a " Societe Anonyme." The adjudication of the Line will probably not be delayed beyond the present year. If the lease be obtained on favourable terms (and no other terms will be sought or accepted by this Company), the Line will be a most valuable one. It forms the only remaining link in the great chain between the German Ocean and the Mediterranean. The local traffic, especially of merchandise, is already very great, and with the aids and development to be given by the railway, will be far greater. The Rhone cannot compete with the railway, because, although navi gable one way, its extreme rapidity renders it practically inaavi gable up the stream. It has been considered desirable to associate for the English direc tion persons of acknowledged practical skill and experience in the construction, working, and management of railways, and it cannot be denied but that this object has been attained. The Directors take all requisite powers for conducting and con cluding negotiations with the French Government, tendering for and accepting a lease, and generally enabling them to carry out what ever they may deem expedient in the interest of the Company.
