INTOR'2I-1 KENT RAILWAY. At a very numerous and highly respectable meeting of the inhabitants of Canterbury, convened by the Mayor, in pursuance of a requisition numerously signed, for the purpose of taking into con sideration the projected line proposed by the North Kent Company, held at the Guildhall, in the city of Canterbury, on Monday, the 22d of September, 1845, and which was attended by a deputation from the North Kent Company, consisting of Sir I. L. Goldsmid, Bart., the Chairman, and five other members of the Committee of Manage ment, and by a Deputation from the Great Kent Atmospheric pro moters, consisting of W. A. Wilkinson, Esq., Chairman of the Lou. don and Croydon Railway Company, and others, JOHN BRENT, Esq., Mayor, in the Chair, the following Resolutions were proposed and carried, with only seven dissentients : That it is the opinion of this meeting that a direct line of railway, along the old line of communication, from Dover through Canter bury, is greatly required through the wealthy and populous district of North Kent, by which that part of the county may be in direct communication with the metropolis. That the line projected by Mr. Vignoles, termed the North Kent Railway, appears to this meeting to be the best adapted to meet the exigencies and to promote the interests of the county generally, and of this district in particular. That it cannot be supposed that the efficient service of the public, or the local interest of the inhabitants, will be as well attended to by a company already in possession of a line through another part of the county, as by an independent and competing company. That this meeting and the inhabitants of Canterbury view with distrust and apprehension the scheme proposed by the South-Eastern Company, and they now renew the pledge heretofore given, to use their best endeavours to carry out the object of the projectors of the Vignoles' North Kent Railway. That the thanks of this meeting be given to the Mayor for his con duct in the chair. BANKERS. Messrs. Rogers, Olding, and Co., Clement's-lane, London Messrs.

Lowe, Richard, Esq., Cheadle Floyd and Booth, Huddersfield and Holmflrth This line of railway, which is about sixty-five miles in length, is intended to commence at Uttoxeter (the terminus of the proposed Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Worcestershire Junction Railway) and to proceed to Sheffield and Huddersfield. It will lbrm a direct com munication between two of the most important manufacturing and mining districts in England, viz., South Staffordshire, Huddersfield, and Sheffield, and Rotherham in Yorkshire ; the South Staffordshire portion including Dudley, Tlpton,Walsall, Bliston, Wednesbury, and Wolverhampton. This line will also open a direct railway communication between Leeds, Huddersfield, and the West Riding of Yorkshire and Kidder minster, Wort‘estershire, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, Taunton, and Exeter, and with Ludlow, Leominster, Hereford, Brecon, Car diff, Neath, Swansea, Llanelly, Caermarthen, Milford Haven, Fish guard, Aberystwith, and with Porthdynllaen, the future outport for Ireland. And also the most direct communication between Leeds and Southampton. The line will pass nearly along the Uttoxeter and Caldon Canal to a point near Frestwood, in case the canal be purchased by the pro moters of this undertaking. It will proceed through Ellaston and Mayfield to Ashbourn, thence near Dovedale, Buxton, and Chapel en-la-Frith, Woodhead and Holmflrth to Huddersfield, where it will join the Huddersfield and Leeds Railway, and so to Think. It will open new mines, in addition to those already in work, of lead, coal, iron ore, barytes, and carboniferous and magnesian limestone on the route, in addition to forming a direct, speedy, and cheap communica tion between the important towns above mentioned. Arrangements have been made with other companies to run into this line from Sheffield. This company reserves the right to raiso additional capital to extend the line to Leeds. Many of the above-mentioned mineral productions are essential to the mining districts of South Staffordshire and Sheffield. The North Staffordshire and Derbyshire Limestone is much superior to that of South Staffordshire in the fluxion of iron (15 cwt. of the former being equal to a ton of the latter), and producing a better quality of ma terial. At present, the mode of transit is very circuitous and expen sive, the line from the Caldon Mines having to go by canal round by Etruria, Leek, and the Potteries, to the Dudley and surrounding furnaces, when, by this railway, it would be taken in a straight line to them ; and the Ashbourne, Cromford, Worksworth, and Bakewelr country would have an entirely new trade opened to them. The iron stone in the neighbourhood of Sheffield is also becoming very scarce, and great quantities are introduced from Scotland; the same scarcity exists in South Staffordshire ; and the route of this line would fur nish a cheap and good supply, at present not worked, and without a market, both north and south. In addition to these groat advan tages, a good local market would be opened along the agricultural and other parts of the district at present very badly supplied with lime and coal, and that of an inferior quality, and by expensive car riage. It is, therefore, next to impossible to calculate the immense traffic which would pour down this line and the Derbyshire, Stafford shire, a - d Worcestershire Junction Railway. The calculations which have been made show a very large profit. There are large lead end slate quarries on the line which only want an outlet like the one now contemplated to bring them into MB work. The coal is of a superior quality. • There are also extensive barytes and paint-works at Ashbourne, Cromf;rd, and other places on the line. The scenery of Derbyshire is the resort of vsst numbers of tourists ; and particular care will be taken, iu passing of the line near Dovedale, not to interfere with cr change its beautifill and romantic character. The convenience, therefore, which this line will afford must necessarily cause a great influx of passengers, botts oh business and pleasure. Ironstone is not so abundant in the South as in North Staffordshire; and vast quantities are sent by the tardy, circuitous, and expensive canal company, which this and other lines of railway meeting at Uttoxeter will remedy. The gypsum formation runs from Staffordshire to the Humber, and the demand for this article for building, agricultural, and manufac turing purposes along this line will be great. The timber from the neighbourhood of the Needwood Forest Banks, Bagots Woods, and Kingston Woods, upwards of 4,000 acres, chiefly finds its - way to the Manchester market by a like objectionable route of tardy and circuitous canal convey ance ; whereas this line would open a direct, easy., and cheap communication to new markets. The line has been viewed prior to A detailed survey, a n d th ere are not more than ordinary engineering difficulties. In consequence of the late Parliamentary decisions, it is intended to snake this line on the broad gauge principle, but the pro moters do not pledge themselves absolutely.to 00 - 80 .

ORTHERN COUNTIES (ROSS, SUTHER .O LAND, AND CAITHNESS DIRECT RAILWAY. To afford the very important division of the Kingdom the benefits of railway communication, and to promote and stimulate the pro gressively increasing pastoral, agricultural; and commercial, improve mak which of late years have made such rapid strides in these counties, it is proposed to form, under the sanction of the most influential patronage, a railway by the most direct practicable route, to connect these northern and producing districts with the southern and consuming portions of the empire. Adopting the line which may be found the shortest to Dingwall consistent with a due regard to economy in its execution and work- Mgt ancift• thirights and interestM•of Orlirats partks, and from Ding wall by Novar to Bomar-bridge, the dista.,ce of the county of Suther land from Inverness would be many miles shorter than by any other route'. nom Donal' . the ling would pass by Lairg, through the valleys of the Brora and of the Frie, and by Strath Helmsdale to the Thurso water ; thus nearly bisecting the county of Sutherland through its - length and passing • into the most populous parts of Caithness, diverging to the right awl-left to Wiek and Thurso. A branch might be formed to connect the coast of Sutherland with the trunk line. In Ross-shire a branch - would be formed from the main line to In vergordon, and this brunch might be extended to the burgh of Tain. Arrangements are being made for having the lines (the courses of which are but generally indicated above) carefully examined by ex perienced surveyors and engineers ; and As soon as data which may be relied on have been matured;athll prospectus, with the names of the promoters and Provisional Committee and detailed particulars, will be published. of Wick ; M.

The ys, kithimportance naedev of nt connecting es parts of E , .gland by Rail ways, yconferred upon intermediate towns i t a a and districts, can scarcely be better exemplified than by the Line which is nowproposed to form a short and direct channel of inter course between Oxford and Salisbury. Numerous projected lines now before the public will make Oxford at the north, and Salisbury agth r thereby remote e at the south of the intended Railroad the central Points from which various radii will diverge to the north-west, north, and north-east of the former, and to the east, south, and west of the latter; and the proposed Line from Cambridge to Oxford, continuing to that city the course of Railway from the north-eastern parts of the island, requires the appliance now seggested to effect a complete means of transit to the western and south-Western counties. The Oxford and t.alisbury Direct Railway, in addition to the benefits which will be conferred upon the nation at large, by preferring a direct line of communication be tween the north-pastern and western and south-western parts of t ngland, will afford to the borough of Abingdon, the 'market towns .1 . Wantage, Hungerford, and Ludgershall, and the adjacent villages, an important railway accommodation, of which the agricultural districts in which they are seated stand in much need, and will provide a facility for the interchange of produce be tween the rural, manufacturing, and commercial population of the kingdom. The want of railway accommodation has long been felt to press Unfairly upon the inhabitants of the important and thriving town Of Abingdon. Their means and opportunities of competing with the more fortunate traders of those towns which are already provided with di rect channels of transit, are thus severely crippled. The same remark applies in some degree to the market town of Wantage, which, as well as Hungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits and advantages prodaded by railway traffic. It has therefore been determined to commence the proposedli ne at Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdon to the station of the Great Western Railway at Steventon, thus giving.to Abingd ,, n a direct rail road to London. By continuing the projected railway to Wantage, the same facility of transit to London will be afforded to that place and a perfect like of road from the north-eastern counties will, by a junc tion with the projection from Cambridge to 'Oxford, be produced, through the towns which have been named, Hungerford and Ludgers• hall to Salisbury, and thence to tke south and western ports and dis tricts. A map of the line, and a statistical report of the whole country intended to be traversed, is in course 'of preparation, and with the names of an influential provisional Committee, will very shortly be published. In the meantime, further information may be ob tained from Messrs. Elmslle and Preston, 47, Moorgate-street, London, - solicitors to the undertaking, to whom, at present, applica tion for shares may be made. 8070N:170N RAILWAY. 11(WProvision c a e l p l y ttal Re , g i EcE s resp t : e qwe. r : ed p,e:Avus , liai p dtn, u ieino rs r2neml u .rRan a 2Lo n sa. t iodli t fge o r 7 s a h n a d re S .

Temporary Offices, 3, Abchurch-lane, London. This line of Railway will commence at the junction of the Man ebester and Birmingham, Chester and Crewe, and Grand Junction Railways, at Crewe, in the county of Chester, and proceed from thence through or rear the towns of Market Drayton, Newport, and Shiffnal, in Shropshire, thence through the flourishing town of Kid derminster, to Worcester and Tewkesbury, and to the Bristol Rail way at Gloucester. By this means it will form the most direct route from Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Hull, and Chester to the important ports of Gloucester and Bristol, indeed the most direct line from the north of England to the Bristol Channel. It will, also, in conjunction wtih the proposed Hereford and Worcester, and Swan sea, Merthyr-Tydvil, and Hereford Railways, form the meet advan tageous route from Swansea and the iron districts of South Wales, to Liverpool, Manchester, and Hull. The line will cross the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway at Shiffnal, and the Shropshire Mineral Railway and the Trent Valley Union at the thriving town of Newport. It will form a junction with the two latter railways at Newport, whereby persons and lug gage may be conveyed to Stafford, Derby, the Midland Counties, Staffordshire Potteries, Sheffield, and Hull; and, In addition to the carriage of heavy goods from Bristol, Gloucester, Worcester, and Kidderminster, to Manchester, Liverpool, the whole of the north of England, and Scotland--will secure a large passenger traffic in the district through which it passes. The proposed railWay.will be atofit 87 miles in length, and be tween the two termini of Crewe and Gloucester, will save in distance at least 20 miles, and the journey can be accomplished, at the pre sent rapid rate of travelling, in about two hours. This project as a junction line, connects itself with some of. the most important rail ways in the kingdom. It also skirts the large, extensive, and - densely populated iron districts of Shropshire and Staffordshire, and in its course passes through a rich agricultural country. It must, there fore, be obvious that there will be a sufficient traffic to pay a high rate of interest on the capital required. There are no engineering difficulties In the country through which the line is intended to pass, the whole being nearly on a level, and on reference to the map*of country, taken,from the Ordnance survey, which accompanies the prospectus, the line will appear straight, and will at the same time show the superior advantages it possesses, and that it cannot be surpassed by. any existing or projected lines, between the same termini. It will not interfere with any ornamental property, and no tunnel ling will be required. The liabilities of the Shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions, and interest will he allowed on thecieposiisai;cl further calls, from the date of the several payments to the opening of the line.

By extraordinary express in anticipation of the' Incßah mitt, ws have received our journals and correspondence from Cak►itta to the Bth of August, from Bombay to the 7th of August, and from China to the 12th of June. The following will be found to be tile chief facts of interest which had occurred since the last arrival. • A memorial from the cavalry officers of the Bengal army had been transmitted to the Court of Directors, praying for the ap pointment of a sixth captain to each regiment. This memorial shows the state of promotion in that gallant arm of the Bengal force to be most disheartening; 45 of the 80 lieutenants being captains by brevet, as having served 15 years; some of these veteran subalterns having served their country about a quarter of a century, and, in some instances, the junior lieutenant has been with his regiment 18 years, The general orders of the Commander-in-Chief of 1844, relative to officers, military and medical,-having charge of companies and regiments, had been made retrospective—that is, it any officer now in charge, or who was in charge previous to_ that order, should vacate such charge, he is not to be re-appointed , until he shall have undergone the requisite examination. Experiments had been made in Fort William on the effects. of firing guns in casemated batteries, so as to ascertain how the smoke could be remo►ed to allow of the gunners remaining at their post for any protracted time without being suffocated. These experi ments were made with a view to the construction of batteries for the defence of Aden, which it is proposed to form by hollowing out 1 the rock, as at Gibraltar, Dover, and Corfu. A draught act had been been published, allowing the transport of cotton from any of the subordinate ports of the Bombay Presidency to Bombay free ofduty. This will prevent a great deal of trouble and annoyance to the traders in cotton, who were formerly obliged to pay duty on cotton in transit from the outports to Bombay, which was, in fact, subjecting it to internal taxation. The Union Bank, from the report of the Directors, published its the Hurkant, appears to have done a very profitable business during the past six months, alike cheering to the shareholders and creditable to the 'Directors and their able secretary, Mr. Stewart. To those in England interested in the prosperity of the Bank, it will be highly gratifying to learn that from the let of January to the 30th of June the net profits of the Bank have been equal,to Br. 14a. per cent. per annum, of which dividends were declared at the rate of 7 per cent., after adding to the reserved toad 93,617 . . From the Delhi Gazette of the 9th of July we fi nd that `the steamer Soorma was expected to arrive at Gurmoktessur Ghent on the 15th. This is a completion of the experiment made by Government of the possibility of steam navigation being ex tended beyond Allahabad a and it is most satisfactory to find that at that season of the year.at least it WAS quite possible. It is pleasing . to observe that steam was every day becoming more available in India. The Amherst packet-vessel, which had for some time past been employed by Government to run between Calcutta and Arracan, was to be sold, and the Hon. Company's steamers Tenasserim and Enterprise were to be employed in run ning once a month to and from the eastern ports in the Bay of Bengal, which will be a great convenience to those residing in Arracan, Kyookphioo, &c. It has been ascertained in Calcutta that three ships were on their way out from Liverpool with about 1,2.00 tons of salt, which, from calculations made on good data, would cost in Calcutta only 9 annas a maund, while that manufactured under the Government monopoly costs from 15 annas to 1 rupee; supposing only a profit of 4 annas per maund to the importer, and supposing that the ship owner loads his own ship, 450 tons will yied, at an exchange of 25., 337/. as profit, and 4501. as freight. Intelligence from Lahore mentioned that an attempt had been made, on the 6th inst., toassassinate Itaja Ghoolab Singh, by firing at him while returning on his elephant front visiting the Ranee and Prime Minister. A duel had taken place at Fultah between Lieut. Tulloch, of the '2 'ld Native Infantry, and a Mr. Nilson, the °inter of a ship, when the former was dangerously wounded, and after wards died of his wounds. The first step in a vast project for the incalculable benefit of India is most gratifying to behold. The prospectus of the East India Railway Company had just been published at Calcutta. It is impos sible to foresee the rapid improvement which the fulfilment of this measure will cause to take place in the condition, moral and tent. poral, of the people of that immense empire, and most sincerely must all lovers of the human race pray for its speedy completion. It was said that the Govert:or-General and suite would leave Calcutta for the upper provinces about the end of Seplbabsr. His Lordship was to go by steam to Allahabad, and march thence, Sir Hubert Maddock would become, as a matter of course, Vice-Pre sident in Council and Deputy-Governor of Bengal. .We are sorry to see, that under instructions from the Court of Direetors, the regulation of Lord latenborough, sanctioning a loan to officers to enable them to build teisstra lows at new stations, has been abolished prospectively from thllsll3th of February, 1846. Those who are in the habit of blaming his Lordship's Administration will not hesitate to confess that the above measure was not one whictr called for aught but approbation. His Highness Meer Hoosein Allee Khan Talpoor had written a reply to what Sir C. Napier wrote about the Ameers of Sinde ; a translation of Meer Hoosein's reply will be found in the Bur karu of the 7th of August. From Mr. Wilkinson's commercial annual of the external commerce of Bengal for 1844.45, lately published, ;it appears that the incrfase in the value of imports in the past year over that of the previous one is 12,159,736 rupee?, and the increase in the exports 2,146,642 rupees, the net increase in Customs' duties being nearly four lacs of rupees, almost wholfy derived from imports. In cotton twist and yarn an incrnse of imports to the extent of nearly 50 per cent., and in woollen \ SUld woollen stuffs a similar increase have taken place. In the Punjab there had been partial disturbances; an attempt was made there to disband some of the turbulent troops, wbkii, created dissatisfaction amongst them, and fears . were entertained of some commotion' at the Dusserah, the great festive?, which occurs this year on the 10th of October. A subsidiary force 114 been offered by the Government of India to the Queen-Mother,. which it was supposed she and her brother, the Wuseer, would ac cept. The affairs of the Punjab engrossed much attention, since it was known that Sir Henry Hardinge was preparing to proseeo.to. the north-west provinces in the beginning of September. There bad been some trifling disturbances in Oude, but they were appeased, and an inquiry instituted into their cause. The news from China comes down to the 12th of June." The Governor of Hong-Kong had issued a proclamation assessing the lands and houses of that colony for the support of an efficient pollee. Rear- Admiral Cochrane had brought an action of libel against the; editor of the Friend of China for some comments on his conduct:. Verdict for the defendant. The intelligence of the insurrection of the natives of New Zealand had reached Bombay. The ships Hyderabad and Coring* packet, from Sydney, Nei India, were lost, the former in Torres Straits, and the latter op an unknown shoal on the nerth.west coast of New Holland.

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT. , The Treat principal on which the projectdrs of this itimqrtant scheme have acted, is the establishment of • sti'direct line of commu nication between Birmingham and Birkenhead, by the neatest pos sible rdute, and at the smallest possible outlay. To effect this object, it is proposed to make use either of the Grand Junction, or the Bir mingham, Dudley, and Wolverharopten RailWity, as far as Wolver hampton, and thence to throw•out a new line in agitraight a direction as possible to Chester, where a juntioti will- -be forniNi with the rail way already existing between .that city and BirkenheadA A 'most important saving of distance will thus be effected. . It is obvious that such a scheme is : fraught with consequences of the highest possible import to the commercial interests of the respec tive districts. The growing prosperity of Birkenhead even now de mands. a more direct communication with the midland, southern, western, and eastern counties ; andwhen her magnificent docks shall be completed, and the town itself shall have arrived at Its ,ciestined greatness, this line will take a prominent - position among the most lucrative of these undertakings. • • The Directors, therefore, conscious of the great traffic whial flow from the densely populat e d t e r m i n i, p ro p ose to construct this line in as straight a direction as possible, and- thereby secure the innnensc through traffic which will resort to this railway for shortness and expedition, from the great manufacturing and agricultural districts of South Staffordshire, Shropshire, Warwickshire, Worcester, -Hereford shire, Monmouthshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Northamp tonshire, and in fact the whole of the eastern counties, as well as from London and the important districts to the south, east, and west of the metropolis. Irrespective of the immense population - of the termini, it is evident that this projected fine commends itself to the entire inhabitants of the counties alreadyreferred The scheme also possesses this fur ther, and-mat advantage —that - it will ; iii reality, form a shorter and more direct line to the neighbourhood of. Lteerpool and the district adjacent, than any which has hitherto been projected ; and by means of the contemplated line from Chester to Holyhead, it will open the shortest possible route from London to Ireland, and thereby avoid the delay and inc onven i ence of a protracted sea voyage. A cursory inspec tion of the map o f England, and a reference to the plan of.this-line will also show that the Trent Valley, London and Birmingham, la irminghatn and Gloucester, Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, as well as the projected Staffordshire and Shropshire Railways, will necessarily bas valuable tributaries to this important line of railway. The line to be constructed by this Company will commence at Wolverhampton, and proceed through an agricultural district,. by way of Market Drayten to Chester; and although in its direct course it may not pass through many towns of importance, the engineering difficulties of every other route will be avoided, and powerfitl focal influence brought into co-operation with this Company: In the formation of this line the extensive iron district of Lilleshall has been especially regarded ; and by .means of the facilities of transit afforded by this Company, the ironmasters of South Stafford shire will be enabled to compete with the Scotch market, which they have hitherto been unable to do in consequence of the heavy charge for freight. The Provisional and Managing Committee are in the course of selection, and will be published in a few days, with other particulars. Applications for Shares to be made to Mr. V. S.

The object of the proposed line is to complete a direct chain of railway communication between the Western and Eastern Coasts, from Liverpool to great Grimsby. It is intended as above stated to commence the line at Penistone at the Junction of the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne, and Manches ter, and the Huddersfield and Sheffield Railways, and to proceed in a direct course south of and near to Barnsley, passing thence through or near to the extensive and inexhaustible coal fields of Worsborough Dale, Silkstone. Cawthorne, Darton, Bretton, Billingley, and others in the Barnsley District, thence continuing in a direct line through or near to Wombwell, Darfield (where it will cross the North Mid land Railway), Thurnscoe, Wath Swinton, Bolton, Mickleton, Berm borough, Mexborough, Conisborough, Sprotborough, Bentley, Don caster (where it will cross the London and York Railway), and proceed through or near to Arrnthorpe, Cawtley, Brampton (with a future branch to Thorne, and such further branches as may be eventually determined upon), Auckley, Wroot (where it will enter the Isle of txholme), and through or near to Maxey, Epworth, Belton, Butterwick, Oweton, Messingham, and then terminate in a junction with the Great Grimsby and Sheffield Railway, at or near Glanford Brigg, thus connecting, by the construction of a new line of railway of tbrty-six miles in length, or thereabouts (the entire line required to be made). The great manufacturing, mineral, and agricultural dis tricts of Lancashire and Yorkshire with Lincolnshire and the rapidly improving port of Great Grimsby, so as to afford the products of the several counties a most direct course of transit, thereby also greatly racilitating the introduction of foreign merchandise, and by this means perfecting the channel of communication between the Irish Sea and the German Ocean. The existing routes are very circuitous, so much so, that the pro posed line will effect a saving of about twenty miles, when compared with the Manchester, and Leeds, and the Wakefield, Pontefract and Goole Railways to Great Grimsby, and of about fifteen miles com pared with the Sheffield and Manchester, and the Great Grimsby and Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railways, and the relative distance from other places will be proportionally- shortened. Several schemes arc now before the public to connect, in the best practicable manner, Keighly and Halifax with Huddersfield, so as to effect a direct North and South communication. When this desidera tum shall be accomplished, the proposed new line, will, in addition to the advantages before mentioned, form a grand direct railway com munication from Scotland and the Northern Counties, viA Hudders field, to the flourishing port of Great Grimsby, whilst the additional traffic brought to bear upon the proposed line to and from the con templated new Staffordshire and Derbyshire Lines, by uniting with the Huddersfield and Sheffield Railway, at or near Holinfirth, must considerably enhance the value of the undertaking. Independent of the above, and of the superior advantages afforded by the proposed line for the shipping of coal to the London and other markets, a considerable augmentation of traffic may be expected from the North Midland and the London and York Railways. The important and agricultural town and neighbourhood of Don caster, hitherto comparatively isolated, for want of proper railway accommodation, will, by the aid of the London and York Railway and the proposed line, both passing through the town, be at once brought in connexion with all the main railway arteries in the kingdom. The value of the stock in the Huddersfield and Sheffield Junction Railway must necessarily be greatly increased by the proposed line, whilst the facilities given for the transit of goods from Liverpool and Manchester to Great Grimsby must eventually materially add to the importance and benefit of the Sheffield and Manchester Railway. The country through which the line will pass Is admirably adapted for carrying out the design of the promoters. Nothing beyond ordi nary engineering difficulties is to be met with. A satisfactory survey of the entire line, by the acting engineer, has already been made, and the sections of the line are in course of preparation, so that there is the utmost confidence that the scheme will be fully perfected in due time for the approaching session of Parliament. The number of Shares already subscribed for is very considerable, and an early allotment may therefore be expected. An Influential Provisional Committee is now forming, and the ne.mes of the gentle men composing it will shortly be publicly announced. In the mean time, further information may he obtained from the Solicitors, at whose Offices Plans and Surveys of the Line are lodged for inspection, and applications for Shares (in the form given below), accompanied with satisfactory references, may also be addressed to them, to their London Agents, or to the following Brokers: namely, Messrs.

This short but important line of railway is intended to commence at a point in the Tean and Dove Valley Railway, at or near to Snareston, and to extend to Leicester. It will thus furnish a link necessary for carrying on the traffic brought to Leicester by means of the South Midlands, the Bedford, and the Peterborough Railways (all of which terminate at or near Leicester), to the Staffordshire Potteries and the great towns of Lan cashire and Cheshire, and complete an unbroken line of railway, by the best and nearest practicable route, from the various important railway terniini at Leicester to Manchester and Liverpool. This great line of railway, it will be observed, traverses the finest coal fields in the country, and embraces the towns of Burton-upon- Trent, Uttoxeter, Cheadle, Leek, Macclesfield, Lane End, Stoke upon-Trent, and Newcastle-under-Lyme, and the important and rapidly-increasing potteries of Swadlincote and Greeley, as well as those of Staffordshire. An inspection of the map will &lair that the junction line now iroposed is essential for the accommodation of the public, and it can lot fall to be exceedingly femunerative to the proprietors. The undertaking has the cordial support of the Tean and Dove ,'alley Railway Company. In the allotment of shares preference will be given to Shareholders that Company, and to parties locally interested in the line. The capit il of the Company will be 300,0001., divided into 15,000 shares of 201. each ; a deposit of 21. 2s. per share must be paid on al lotment, and each original subscriber must execute the usual Parlia mentary and Subscription Contract, or his shares will be forfeited. Copies of the prospectus and map may be had from the Secretary and Solicitors; and applications for shares must be made to the Secretary only, accompanied by a reference to a member of the Pro vhiional Committee, a banker, or to one of the solicitors of the Company. Shareholders in the Tean and Dove Valley Railway who apply, wilt please to state the number of *tares they hold in that Company. •ESuton-tad-rent, Sept. 18, 1645. COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT.
