The port of Boston affords the readiest outlet fir exports front the manufacturing districts to the north of Europe, and the importance of direct communication from the midland counties. to a place se ad ♦antageously situate cAnnot be over-estimated. Leicester has, or shortly will have, direct centmunlcatton with litinningham, and all the other important towns in the midland district. The Midland Railway Company is extending the communication to Melton Mowbray, by means or its branch from Syston to Peter borough, which passes through that place. There is also a complete line of railway about to be established from Nottingham, through Grantham and relkingham, to Boston, as well as to Spalding, Wis beach, Lynn, "Unseen, ant other important towns in the eastern counties. The Leicester, Melton Mowbray, and Boston Direct Unioa sail way, by forming a line from Melton Mowbray to Folkingham, will supply the only link wanting to complete a direct through COMMIIIII - from Birmingham, Warwick, Worces.er, 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 not exceed twenty-six miles ; and as it will pass through a country very favourable for engineer ing perposes, the expense of constriction will, it is expected, be less than the usual average. The admirable position of this railway can not fail, it is confidently expected, tn command a large return, both in passengers and in goods traffic. The Company will be in a situation to deposit the Parliamentary plans and sections in ample time for complying with the standing orders, and &fabling then to apply for their Act in the ensuing session.

By this line of railway it is intended to connect the free port of Stockton with the manufacturing districts of the Wont Biding of Yorkshire and the whole of Lancashire. ' This important object will be attained at a trifling outlay of capital, and ensure an amply remunerative traffic. The lino will be constructed from or near Stockton-on-Tees, to or near to Northallerton, a distance of only eighteen miles, where It will form a junction with the Great North of England Railway, which will be traversed to Thirsk ; and from that place the communication with Leeds and the other important manufacturing towns will be completed by a railway already sanctioned by Parliament. It will be seen, therefore, that the communication by railway be tween the free port of the Tees and the town of Leeds will be com pleted by the formation of " The Stockton, Nortkallertou, and Leeds Railway." The advantages of this undertaking are too numerous to specify in an advertisement ; but merchants at all acqualeted with the immense export and import trade of the West Riding ant of Lancashire, will at once perceive how important it is to open to that trade a port which, whilst it is as advantageous as any other in point of distance, possesses facilities and immunities which none other can offer. From the favonrable locality of the port of Stockton, there Is no doubt that, with the additional facilities for the importation and transit of merchandise which this railway will afford, the pert wal occupy a leading position amongst those on the Eastern coast of England. The project has received very extensive local support; and almost every landowner, through whose property the line is intended to pass, has already signified his assent to the measure. The line of the country has been surveyed by an engineer of talent and experience, and, from his report, the work will be finished for 14,0001. a mile ; and there is no engineering difficulty of any descrip tion to encounter. Applications for Shares, in the subjoined form, may be forwarded to Messrs. Wilson and Faber, solicitors, Stockton ; or to Samuel Shepherd, Esq., solicitor, Northallerton ; 11p to -and including Satur day, the Ist day ofNovember next, on which day the list will finally close, and the allotment be immediately proceeded with.

Brook and Freeman The object of this undertaking is to form a continuous line of rail way from Leeds to Liverpool, by extending the ',ince already made, or sanctioned by Parliament, from their respective termini at Hud dersfield, in Yorkshire, and Bury, for which extension a line of rail way only 25 miles in length is requisite. The proposed line will com mence at the Huddersfield station, between which place and Leeds. Parliament has already sanctioned the formation of railways, and from Huddersfield the proposed linewiliproceed by way of Hillhouse' Birchencliffe, and Lindley, and thence along the valley between Stainland and Greetland, through Bark'sland, the Yale ofitipponden, and by Rochdale to Bury, in Lancashire, where it will join the ter minus of the Liverpool and Bury line of railway. _ . In addition to completing a silrect communication from Liverpool to Leeds, Mull, and Goole, by the shertest practicable route, and by a much smaller outlay of capital, than Ly any ether proposed line, it will provide for a large and important manufacturing pop•ilation, hitherto without the advantage of railway accommodation, an outlet to the south by means of the Huddersfield and Sheffield Junetien Railway, and to Manchester and to North aid South Lancashire by the railways above mentioned, and by the Leeds and Manchester Railway, by a proposed junction therewith at Rochdale. This line, when completed, will, ii addition to the advantages which it presents as a through line, pass through a succession of ♦al leys thickly studded with mills and manutacteries, consuming a large quantity of raw materials and coal, all of which are brought from a distance, and transmitting to other districts the produce of their industry, for which purposes a line of railway has become ab solutely necessary, and there can be no doubt that si ample return will be realised for the outlay of capital required. The distines between Huddersfield and Rochdale by the present line of railway is thirty miles, which by the proposed railway will be reduced to seventeen miles. The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the right of enter ing into any arrangements with existing railway companies that may appear desirable. And power will be taken by the Act of Parliament to allow Interest to the shareholders at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum on the amounts paid on their shares from the respective times of payment to the tines of opening the railway. Applications for shares may be addressed, in the subjoined form, to any of the undermentioned Sharebrokers, ♦is.—Messrs.

Cragg and Jeyes, 12, Bedford-row. This railway will connect the east and west coasts, and form direct route from the ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood-on-Wyre, aid Lancaster, to Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Commencing at Lancaster, it will proceed up the valley of the Lune, by Kirkby Lonsdale, Sedbergk, 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 bees 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 Impirtant towns and ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood, Newcastle, and Lancaster. The entire length of the line is rich in mineral productions—coal, slate, limestone, marble, and ether elements of a great local traffic abound, and cannot fail to make this one of the most remunerative projects of the day. 1 considerable saving of distance between the important towns en the termini is effected over any existing or pro jected scheme. It will be reserved to the Committee of Management to make such alteratiens in the line, or the sawmat of capital required, or other wise, as may be deemed most advantageous to the interests of the 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. Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be bad of the Solicitors, and of the following brokers:— , Messrs.

The object of this undertaking is to open a direct line of railway to connect the Northern, Eastern, and South Essex Railways, by means of a steam-ferry from Tilbury Fort to Gravesend, with Tun bridge Wells, Lewes, and Brighton. It is contemplated to proceed from the Eastern Counties hallway at or near Harlow station to Tilbury, crossing the river by a steam floating-bridge to Gravesend, passing by Cobham, Snodland, Mall ing, and Hadlow, to Tunbridge, thence by the South-Eastern Railway to Tunbridge Wells, passing Uckfleld to Lewes, and thence joining the Brighton, Lewes, and Hastings Railway to Brighton. An inspection of the map will clearly show the great Importance of this railway, whether considered in a local or national point of view, forming, as it will, a most useful chain of local communication for the fertile and populous tracts through which it passes. It will bring the Northern and Eastern Counties, the mouth of the Thames, and North Kent, into direct communication, by way of Brighton, with Dieppe and Havre, and thus form, in sonjenction with the railways now in progress on the Continent, the shortest possible route to Paris and the Mediterranean. By this railway the, large population of the north-eastern coun ties, numbering nearly two millions, will have a direct and easy com munication with the whole of the populous and important egunties of Kent and Sussex, without going round to London, and thereby avoiding the inconvenience arising from the unconnected lines north and smith of the metropolis. The utility of this line to the naval and military service, both in times of peace and war, for the conveyance of troops and stores, is evident. With the existing railways and those now in progress in Kent and Sussex, a most complete system of local communication will be effected ; and as such, the project has been received with the most distinguished approbation and pledges of support from the principal proprietors alcug the line, and the corporation of Gravesend hays promised their entire sanction to, an.l will cordially support it.

The first object of this line is te connect the town of Birmingham, Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route, and to supply as important link ef communication between the town of Spalding aid the eastern coast, and the western aid midland districts. Commencing at the Simian station of the Norwich, Derebam, Lynn, and Holbeach Railways, the lime will proceed by loam. Witham, Castle Bytham, South Wyllie'', and Wymondham, te a point on the Syston and Peterborough line if railway near Molten- Mowbray, thus forming, by the byston and Peterborough and Mid land Counties Railway, an almost direct rout* te Leicester, and thence to Coventry and Birmingham 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 Bar ton-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincoln, Norfolk. Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by mazy 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 ilberysterith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, OR the west. The entire length will cot exceed thirty miles. There is no hornet ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary; Use line from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve IBMs, is very level, and may be constructed at a small coat. It will secure the advantages of railway comma/11°41ton tea tract ef country at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open ing out sources of trade undeveleped for want of the means if transit. The central midland districts have felt greatly the want ef 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 Rom 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 sod; supplied at very high rates; aid, in return traffic, the midland dis tricts will obtain the advantage of a direct transit Itir the stock aid agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk. Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which to the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, and connected by the River Welland with the Berman Ocean. The proposed capital will be sufficient for the construct!** of the necessary works and every subsequent expense and the incense derivable from the tram. in passengers between Birmingham, Co ventry, Leicester, Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Reston, 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.
