PROSPECTUS The object proposed by this railway is, as well to supply the wants of the district through which it passes, as to complete the chain of railway communication between the eastern and midland counties and the western district, including the whole of North and South Wales. The country embraced by this line is of the richest description, and thickly populated. By means of this, and the existing and projected lines of railway, the whole of the ports in the eastern and north-eastern counties, in cluding the manufacturing city of Norwich, and towns of Leicester, Nottingham, Sheffield, Leeds, and the whole of Yorkshire will be brought in direct communication with the mineral districts of North and South Wales, the salt district of Droitwich, and the river Severn. The promoters of this line submit to the public, as a most import ant consideration, the abating of those causes of loss and inconveni ence which, along the line of country over which this railway will pass, are experienced from water carriage being from necessity at present a principal mode of transit for heavy goods and merchandise, and which,l n the winter season, is productive of the most evil con sequences to those engaged in commerce. A manifest advantage to the Shareholders will be the extent of traffic which will be secured and appropriated by the present undertaking, in lieu of that which hitherto has been engrossed by the more dilatory course of water carriage. As a public advantage to the inhabitants generally of the above-mentioned districts, the promoters submit that the equa lisation in prices of the produce and merchandise which the opening of this line of railway is calculated to produce is of the high est importance, and one of the principal benefits which this and ether similar undertakings are alone capable of producing. The proposed line will commence at Rugby, the terminus of the Midland Counties and Trent Valley Railways, and also of the pro posed Rugby end Huntingdon Junction Railway, and proceed from thence near to the towns of Leamington, Warwick, and Alcester, and end at the City of Worcester. At Worcester this line will form a junction with the several Welsh railways, the Shrewsbury, Wor cester, and Crewe Railway, and the Oxford, Worcester, and Wol verhampton Railway. At Warwick it will unite with the Birmingham and Oxford Junc tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway. And at Rugby with the London and Birmingham, the Midland Counties, and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railway. To the inhabitants of Rugby as well as to those of the Midland, Eastern, and Northern Counties this line will afford a direct com munication with the fashionable towns of Leamington and Chelten ham, as well as the whole of the Western Counties. To the inhabitants of Leamington and Warwick it will give a direct communication with the City of Worcester and North and South Wales, now so much needed. And to the inhabitants of Worcester, in addition to providing the nearest route to London via Warwick, it will be an outlet to the Eastern Counties and ports, and afford great facilities for the increase of the manufactories now carried on in that city. The whole of the country has during the present month, August, 1845, been most carefully surveyed by the engineers, and they report it to be free from engineering aifficulty, and well adapted for a rail way, and the provisional Directors entertain no doubt that the line will be made under the average rate of expense incident to similar undertakings, and, from the statistics in their possession, that the traffic will afford an ample return for the capital invested. The line will sot interfere with any ornamental property, and the landowners are favourable to the undertaking. The Shareholders in the several Railways proposed to be joined or intersected will have a preference in the allotment of shares in this undertaking. No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the Act is obtained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at centum on all calls, from the time of their respective payments, and to limit the liability of the Shareholders to the amount of their sub rcriptions. The Directors reserve power to themselves to amalgamate with any existing or projected line of railway ; to vary the route ; to make all desirable extensions; and to increase the capital as may be advisable or necessary. Prospectuses, with a Plan, will be published in a few days, and may then be obtained on application to the several solicitors, and to any of the following share brokers, viz., Messrs. Peppercorne and Co., 2, Old Broad-street ; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39, Loth bury, London ; Messrs. Payne and Freer, Leicester ; Messrs. Alston and Gage, Liverpool ; Messrs.

To the Provisional Directors of the Rugby, Warwick, and Worcester Railway.

In consequence of modifications of this line, rendered necessary by the decisions of Parliament in the late Session, and of the increase of the Parliamentary deposit required by the New Standing Orders, tho Provisional Committee find it necessary_to call in the scrip hitherto issued, for the purpose of replacing it by new scrip, to require an ad ditional deposit of 12s. per share, and to cause new deeds to be pre pared for the signature of the Proprietors. Parties to whom scrip has been issued are accordingly requested to send in their scrip, on or before the first day of October next, to tho Secretary. New letters of allotment will at once be issued to such of the present holders of the scrip so sent in, as were original subscribers for their shares ; but where the scrip has changed hands, satisfactory re ferences as to the responsibility of the holders, will be required by the Directors, before new letters of allotment can be issued; on the ad ditional deposit being paid (in accordance with the new letters of al • lotment), and the new deeds being executed, the new scrip will be issued. On and after the 10th of October next the present scrip (unless it shall have been sent in to the Secretary, and received by him pre viously to that day) will be considered as cancelled, and the Shares it represents will be re-allotted. Parties sending scrip are requested to write their names across each scrip certificate for the sake of security. and to send by a post letter at the same time that they send their scrip, a list of the numbers of the scrip they have dispatcef h ed, nces, with their own name, residence , and (if necessary) that of their rere attached in full to the end of such list.

This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda and Ely Vallies, with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles dis tance from the Port of Cardiff; and to open a new mineral district, one of the richest and most important in South Wales, which is at present without the means of transit for its Immense and valuable products. It will pass through the central portion of the great coal-field of Glainorganshire, the geological formation of which is decidedly proved to afford most excellent coal and iron-stone in greater abun dance than any other in the kingdom, with facilities of mining ac cess seldom equalled, and the quality of the coal is admirably adapted for steam purposes and the manufacture of iron. 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, much uearor and cheaper than by any other line. It is intended that the line shall commence at Blacn Rhondda, the head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down to 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 eommunication under the most advantageous circumstances as to distance, with all the ports in the British channel. No engineering difficulties present themselves in the formation of this line ; and it is confidently anticipated that the works will be executed very considerably under, the advertised capital. The landowners along the line - are favourable to this undertaking, and the names of many influential proprietors will be found on the Provisional Committee. No Subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of his de posit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. In the allottment of Shares, a preference will be given to landowners on the line and other parties locally interested. Prospectuses and Maps may be had of, and applications for Shares, may be addressed in the form annexed to, W. B. James, Esq., Solicitor, 5, Basinghall-street, London; to W. Morgan, Esq., Solicitor, Bridgend, Glamorganshire ; and to the undermentioned Brokers ; but no application for Shares will receive the attention of the Committee, unless accompanied by a reference to one or more of the Provisional Committee, Solicitors, or the Engineers : London—Messrs.

THE HUDDERSFIELD AND EAST AND WEST COASTS DIRECT RAILWAY, onnecting Liverpool, Manchester, Huddersfield, Barnsley, Goole, Great Grimsby, and Hull ; with a communication to the Metropolis, from or near the Cudworth Station of the North Midland Railway. (Registered Provisionally.) Capital, 1,000,000/., in 50,000 Shares of 201. each. Deposit 2/. 25. per Share. In compliance with the Standing Order of the House of Lords. The objects of this undertaking are—first, to establish one con- U u n n nous, betw a e n e d n elad Ba y rn w sl m ey m , u G n o ica ole, r i wa Liverpool, re dr Ma nc n h d e s, r t e H r u l d i rs treat Grimsby, and Hull, than at p resent exists, or is proposed by e cta ' t h e e e o any other scheme now before the public ; secondly, to give the be nefit of railways to several populous and important intermediate places now unprovided therewith ; thirdly, to afford increased fa cilities to transit to the whole intervening district ; and fourthly, to apen a communication from Huddersfield, southward, with the me tropolis. The Legislature having, during the recent session, sanctioned the naking of a railway from Manchester to Huddersfield, by the Sad ileworth and Marsden Valleys, a communication is thereby secured oetwixt the port of Liverpool and Huddersfield ; a similar communi ;ation is now called for with the Eastern Coast, and in order to ac femplish the same, it is therefore proposed to make a line, com nencing at, or near, the station in Huddersfield, of the Huddersfield and Manchester Railway, passing through the Kirkheaton and Kirk burton Valleys, by way of, or near Barnsley, to or near the Cud worth station of the North Midland Railway, there forming a junc tion with that railway (by which a communication with the metro polis will be obtained), and thence proceeding to Goole, Great Grimsby, and Hull, by the nearest practicable routes. In order to effect the required objects, at as little expense, and lessen the dis tance as much as possible, liberty is reserved to form junctions with any other existing or projected railways. On reference to a map, it will be seen that the construction of the proposed line, with the existing and projected railways, will attain not on.y the several objects before stated, but also that it will pass through, or near, several of the most extensive and celebrated coal-fields, beds of stone, and limestone, and other mineral districts, in the West Riding of Yorkshire. It is impossible, in the limits of a prospectus, to enumerate or estimate the benefits to be derived from this undertaking ; making Huddersfield the centre of communication between the two seas, uniting it by means of the Huddersfield and Manchester Railway to Liverpool on the west ; and by the proposed line, to the three ports of Goole, Great Grimsby, and Hull, on the east ; and the line passing through a densely-populated commercial and manufacturing part of the kingdom, as well as a highly-cultivated agricultural district, will afford a ready transport to the natural productions of each locality ; added So which, it is well known that considerable portions of such manufacturing districts have hitherto been very inadequately sup plied with coal, and also that there is a daily increasing demand by the outports of that article for exportation ; whilst on the other hand the superabundant produce of the rich culturalagrica districts of York shire and Lincolnshire, bordering upon the e in equal demand for the manufacturing population. The immense traffic, both through and local, which must pass upon the line, will afford ample remuneration to the capitalist. A great part of the line will pass through a country favourable for the construction of a railway, and the remainder presents no difficul ties of a serious character. In the construction of the line, every en deavour will be made to cause the least possible infringement on the rights or claims of existing railways, or injury to private property. 4, portion of the shares will be reserved, at the discretion of the Committee, for such railway companies at this line may form junc tions, or be connected with. The liability of each Shareholder will be restricted by Act of Par liament to the amount of his subscription ; and power will be taken by the Act to. allow interest, at the rate of 41. per centum per an num upon the paid-up capital, from the date of each payment until the completion of the railway. 1 tApplications;for shares may be addressed, in the annexed form, to either of the undermentioned sharebrokers, :—Messrs.

This railway will connect the important and hitherto neglected town of Barnet with the London and Birmingham and the Great Western Railways, at or near Holsdon-green ; with the Northern and Eastern and the Eastern Counties Railway, at or near Totten ham ; and the proposed Direct London and Manchester, and the Lon don and York Railways. The line, in its course, will unite the town of Barnet with Whet stone, Totteridge, Highwood Hill, Mill Hill, Finchley, Holder's Hill, Hendon, Burrows, Golder's Hill, Gutterhedge, Kingsbury, Neesdon, Wilsdon, Wilsdon Green, Holsdon Green, Kensall Green, Westbourne Heaton, Homerton, Green, Maida Hill, Kilburn, Hampstead, West End, Highgate, Crouch I.

The length of the main line, from the point of junction at Totten ham to the London and Birmingham Railway, will be 11 miles ; and the length of the branch line to Barnet, will be 4% miles. From the junction with the Birmingham Railway to Chipping Barnet, 9% miles ; from the Decoy (near Brent-street, Hendon), on the proposed Barnet and North Metropolitan Junction Railway, to the Northern and Eastern Counties Railway, by Stamford-hill, 6 miles. There are no engineering difficulties throughout the entire distance. The line will proceed beyond the range of the Highgate and Hamp stead Hills, and the branch from the main line to Barnet will follow the valley of tile river Brent to the intended station at Barnet ; thus the expense of construction will be less than any other metropolitan line of railway, for the above reason, and because it will pass through an agricultural district, avoiding all ornamental property and large collections of houses and buildings. Upon the completion of this railway, a large and daily-increasing population, resident beyond the limits of the metropolitan omnibuses, will be largely benefited, and MO and agricultural produce, hitherto affording an inadequate return to their cultivators, will be quad rupled in value. The ancient, populous, and once-flourishing town of Barnet, too, will now have a railway communication of its own, without depend ing upon the caprice or uncertain goodnature of any company who may hold out a prospect of a branch, in future times, from some of the trunk lines now contemplated. An ample return of profit to the investments of shareholders may be safely anticipated, and will arise from the following sources, amongst others :- 1. From the conveyance of passengers. 2. From the carriage of goods and merchandise from the City and Docks, &c., to the several railways which are inte rsected b y this line, avoiding the delay and excessive cast of co nveyance through London •, also from the conveyance of cattle, Sac., more particularly during the period of the large Barnet fairs. 3d. From the conveyance of coal, both inland and seaborne fuel, and other commodities of general consumption , the great expense of which has long been felt by all classes as a most grieve" ev The Committee of Management reserve to themselves the power of adopting, upon this line, locomotive power, or Presser's Railway guide and safety wheels, as may be deemed expedient.

They have directed all the necessary surveys to be made, so as to apply to Parliament in the ensuing session, at the same time as the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway, with a view to the ultimate arnal gation of both lines under one management. Besides forming a direct communication with the great manfactur ing towns in the north, the Salisbury and Swindon Extension will make a complete line of railway between Southampton, Salisbury, and all parts of North and South Wales. In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to the holders of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway shares, and parties locally interested, with due regard to public interest, and every original shareholder in that line may, on production of his Serip Certificate, receive an allotment of a similar number of Salis bury and Swindon Extension shares. The holders of Great Western, and of Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth shares will also have a pre ference.

STANDING COUNSEL. Charles Howard Whitehuret, Esq., Q.C. J. Mee Mathew, Esq., F.S.A. ENGINEER—J. U. Rastrick, Esq. _ _ SOLICITORS—Messrs. Watts, Oa!swarthy, and Gidswortliy, 19, Ely. place, Holborn SEclarAar —Samuel Stanway, Esq. The first line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the Loughborough station on the Midland Counties line, and pro-. ceed through the Vale of Shecpshead, to Pegs Green Colliery, near to the terminus of the Leicester and Swannington Rail way, and from thence through the coal-fields of Swannington and Cole-Orton to Ashby-dc-la-ZoUch. It will thence proceed across the Moira Coal-field and through the rich agricultural districts of Seal,CliftonCampville, 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 now iu progress of making. At this point it also meets the proposed South Staffordshire line, by which means it reaches Lichfield, and by means of one of the proposed lines it will afford communication with Bir mingham. By means of its juuction 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-Line, 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 braneh of the line was formerly surveyed by Mr. Rastrick, 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 preceed 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, communicate ing by a branch line with the lead, lime, and coal works there ; thence by the Lount Colliery to Worthington Rough, where it will follow the line of the Cole-Orton and Swarmington Railway until its junction with the first line of the Grand Trunk at or near the Pegs green Colliery, and so proceed from thence to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. At Ashby-de-la-Zouch the Grand Trunk forms a junction with the proposed Nottingham and Birmingham, and with the proposed Great 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 transit to the Leicestershire, Staffordshire, and Shropshire 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. The mineral resources are of the very highest order. The Moira coal-field is inexhaustible, whilst the coal-beds at Staunton Harold alone comprise the finest quality of Kennel to a depth of sen feet, with a super stratum of main coal to a de p th of six feet. The sub - stratum is yet to he 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 b owl 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 Ilarold and Calke exist rich veins of lead ore, now in full course of working. The properties of the Breeden, Staunton Harold, and Tieknall 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 farmer. 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 far which a ready market would be found along the line. The country also abounds in gypsum, of which immense quantities are 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. theU Until controlthe oAfcithoof Committee Parliament o b f e atoofffair.hs pobewunerderti The.
