WILLIAM PROTHEROE, Secretary. 10, Old Jewry Chambers: .- )1' OSTON, NEWARK, and SHEFFIELD ..11: RAILWAY, NOTTINGHAM, MANSFIELD, and MID LANDS JUNCTION RAILWAY. The Directors of the Boston, Newark, and Sheffield Railway, and the Nottingham, Mansfield, and Midlands Junction Railway, are happy to inform the shareholders and the public, that an amalga mation of interests has been effected between the two Companies upon equal terms. The Directors can only view the important ad vantages which will arise from this anion as a subject of mutual congratulation. The Nottingham, Mansfield, and Midlands Junction Railway will, by its Clay Cross extension, open up the vast and ex haustless coal fields of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire for the con sun.pton of Norfolk, Lincolnshire, and the adjoining counties, and through the medium of their seaports create a new and extensive export and import trade. It will also pour an immense passenger and other traffic into the Boston, Newark, and Sheffield line, from Notting ham, Mansfield, and their populous districts to Sheffield, Hudders field, Manchester, Bradford, and other large manufacturing towns in the counties of Lancaster and Yorkshire, by means of an amicable understanding with the Snetteld and Lincolnshire Railway, which the amalgamated lines are intended to join. The Boston, Newark, and Sheffield Railway will confer an equal benefit upon the Notting ham, Mansfield and Alldlands Junction Railway, in affording not only the most direct and the shortest mode of communication with Sheffield and the North, but in consequence of the amalgamation, it will decrease the expense of transit, and ensure an extensive market in Lincolnshire and Norfolk for the valuable minerals and othe re sources which the Notting,ham, Mansfield, and Midlands Junction Railway will; in its progress, necessarily develope.

Or; SECRETORY-Mr. I BANK Messrs. Strachan and Co.; and Messrs. Stuckey and Co., Bristol, Messrs. Robarts and Co., London, Bridgwater, and Taunton. One of the principal objects this Company has in view, is a great saving of time in the journey from Ireland and South Wales to Bristol and London, by avoiding the tedious and dangerous passage of the Bristol Channel, and at the same time effecting the long sought-for communication between the English and Bristol Channels, all of which will be gained by connecting Miuehead with Bridge water by a Railway, and there forming a junction with the railways already opened, and also with those now in actual progress between Bridgwater and the commodious and important port of Poole. The question of an eligible steam-packet and post-office station on the Somersetshlre coast for Ireland, Wales, and the Westward gene rally, from whence vessels may arrive and depart at all times, with out reference to tide, has for many years past been regarded as one of immense Importance t 3 the Government and the public. By making Minehead a post-office station, a saving of twelve hours will be effected in the delivery of letters between Ireland and the whole of the west and south of England ; and no other port on the coast of Somerset (or even on the north of Devon) will be so safe, and sheltered from all the prevailing winds. At Minehead, the proposed railway will run down on a pier, which the largest class steamers may approach, and laud and embark pas sengers at ail states of the tide, and again proceed at once into the Western Ocean on their outward voyage. The public is perhaps hardly aware that, even with the present imperfect and rude arrangements for landing passengers at Weston Super-Mare, it Is found that passmgers from Ireland and the impor tant ports of the south of Wales save several hours by lauding at that place ; wherea', by the proposed pier and railway from Minehead, passengers would save generally twelve hours, and very often a great deal more, on their journey to London, avoiding, besides, the dangers of the Bristol Channel. It is not among the least striking features of this project that it forms part of a grand scheme for shortening the communication between Ireland and Wales with Jersey, Guernsey, Paris, and the Continent generally, as passengers landed at Minehead will proceed by this railway to others now in progress via Yeovil and Dorchester to Poole, from which port the distance to Cherbourg is only sixty miles, thus rendering the distance from Minehead to Cherbourg easily performed in eight hours aril a half; and from Cherbourg a railway is now in course of formation to Paris. The distance also to the Channel Islands is reduced in the same proportion. A powerful com pany, fully alive to the advantages of this mode of transit in prefe rence to the more tedious one via Southampton and Havre, is about to put on a line of packets between the ports of Poole and Cherbourg and the Channel Islands, thus shortening the route in point of time by about seventeen hours. This Company, in showing to The public the probable amount of traffic which will flow over their line, beg leave to draw attention to the following extracts, taken from a prospectus of a Company, formed under the auspices of the Chairman of the Great Western Company, and the leading bankers and merchants of Bristol, for making a pier at, and railway from Portbury, to Bristol, and on which no further comment will be made, save that whatever applies to Portbury, ap plies with infinitely greater force to Minehead, both in the saving of time, dang r, delay, and expense. " There are at the present time engaged in the trade with South Wales, SoMersetshire, Devonshire, Cornwall, Liverpool, and Ireland, twenty-three steam-vessels of the aggregate tonnage of upvvercs of 6,000 tons, making rather better than fifty voyages, or 100 arrivals and departures per week on an average throughout the year. "The principal part of the traffic of the whole of these vessels con sists of passengers, whilst of their goods traffic an important portion consists of merchandize brought by, and Intended for carriage on, the existing railways, from and to places on either side of Bristol. For the conduct of this traffic, every vessel will necessarily require to use the pier and railway on each occasion of departure and arrival, as the most expeditious, convenient, and economical mode of conveying such traffic to or towards its place of destination. " The numb& of passengers carried by the existing steam-boats amounts to at least 200,000 per annum; and when it is considered that the facilities afforded by the pier of starting and arriving at all times of the tide, will enable vessels which now perform but one voyage per diem, or every alternate day, to and from •the nearer ports in South Wales, to make such voyages three or four times in the same day, at very trifling, if any, additional cost— that on the voyages to Swansea, Tenby, and Ilfracombe, they will effect a saving of one-half the time now occupied, and that similar advantages will be derived by the trade with Cornwall and Ireland, it can neither be doubted that the expense of conveyance between Bristol and those places will be considerably reduced, nor that the effect of such re duction, combined with the advantage of greater certainty as to the times of departure and arrival, must have the effect of causing a great increase in the number of passengers. "A large and most valuable portion of the merchandise carried by the Cornish, Welsh, and Irish steam-boats consists of fish, poultry, eggs, vegetables, and other articles of provision ; speed and certainty in the conveyance and delivery of articles of so perishable a nature are obviously essential, and the facilities in this respect afforded by the pier are such as to secure this traffic to the undertaking. " A very considerable revenue will also be derived from the landing and carriage of Live - tock brought by the Irish steam boats, which being imported fat and ready to kill, now suffer much injury from the detention of the vessels in King,road whilst waiting for tide." Although it is unnecessary to calculate upon the whole of this im portant and justly founded traffic, it is nevertheless impossible to over-estimate the large portion of it that will come over this line, when it is remembered that by the proposed scheme the harbour of Waterford will, by means of powerful steamers, be brought within twelve, and the ports of Dublin and Cork within fifteen hours of the terminus at Minehead, by which the danger, inconvenience, and un pleasantness of travelling by night will be altogether avoided. So also must the traffic derived from steam-boats, and on the line itself, be added, which will arise from the immense resort of persons seeking pleasure in the beautiful vicinities of Nether Stowey, Blue Anchor, Minehead, Porlock, Linton, Lynmouth, and the far-famed Valley of Rocks and adjacent country, so aptly termed the Switzer land of England, and which only require increased facilities to be much more than even at present resorted to ; and so great is the existing traffic that, by the calculations already made, a large reve nue will be derived from this source alone. The present number of cattle sent to Bristol from Ireland alone is upwards of 150,000 head per annum, and it is only reasonable to ex pect that these will be landed at the far nearer port of Minehead, thereby creating a considerable source of revenue. The importance of this railway to the agricultural district of North Somerset is Incalculable for disseminating, as manure, In every di rection the celebrated lime of Cannington Park, from which, and also from the carrying of coal, a large revenue will arise. Memel timber brought into the port of Poole (the harbour dues of Which are very insignificant) can be unshipped, carried across by rail, and re-shipped at Minehead, at a cost of 7s. per ton less in freight, than if carried round the Landsend, exclusive of the great saving in time ; this alone will open a large trade with Wales, as vessels will bring over coals to Minehead, and take back timber, limestone, flour, mine, slates, and copper ore. The blile liar; lime-stone of Watehet, so admirably adapted for aquatic building, will also produce a considerable revenue to this undertaking. _ The flour and provision trade, at present carried on between the mining districts of South Wales and the coast of Somerset, must ne cessarily flow over this line, and create an important feature in its revenue. One .ef the first effects of the formation of this line will be, that steam communication will be established between Minehead and the following places :—Swansea, Tenby, Milford, Neath, Haverfordwest, Pembroke, and Carmarthen, and with the whole of the South of Ireland ; and this railway, with a suitable station and wharfs, will also afford to Watchet all. the advantages of which it is capable as a port. Depots for goods will be erected at the station at Combwitch Reach, where at present all the larger vessels trading to Bridgwater stop ; and it may be mentioned that 130,000 tons of coasting trade come into this port annually, exclusively of 10,000 tons of foreign trade. From the estimates prepared, it is expected that only a portion of the proposed capital will be required to carry ant the objects of this Company. Power will be reserved to allow the shareholders 4/. per cent. on the paid-up capital, and also to construct branches from Minehead or Watchet to Wiveliscembe, Porlock, &c., and the extensive iron mines of Sir T. Buckler Lethbridge, Bart., which, with the slate quarries of StrJolut Trevylyan, are in active working within seven miles of Mine head. From this source, as also from the copper mines of Andrew Crosse, Esq., a large revenue must arise. The landowners have been communicated with, and are most anxious for the successful carrying out of the objects of the Com pany; nor is there reason to expect that any Parliamentary opposi tion will be offered. The line will be twenty-five miles in length, and no engineering difficulties present themselves. Until an'Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Company shall be under the control of the Managing Directors, to whom power is giren to allot the Shares, and to apply the funds of the Company in payment of all the expenses Incurred in its formation, and in the preparation of the plans and sections to be submitted to Parliament. Power will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime is hereby given to the Managing Directors as above, to raise any additional capital, to abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, docks, piers, wharfs, or jetties, or enter into any arrangement with any other Company or Companies, and also to nominate the first Directors of the Company.

Robert Tonge, Esq., This Line of Railway is intended to commence at the City of York by a junction with the London and York, and Leeds and York Rail ways, at or near York, and proceed by way of Pocklington, Market Weighton, and Beverley, to the Port of Hull, and there terminate at the extensive East Docks, now in course of construction, this afford ing the shortest and most direct communication from Newcastle and the whole of the North of England, as well as from Skip ton, Colne, Otley, and the northern part of Lancashire to the Port of Hull. It is also intended to have branches from the main line at some con venient part between the towns of Market Weighton and Pockling ton westward to Selby, and eastwards to Great Driffield, thus afford ing to a rich and very highly cultivated portion of the East-Riding, the shortest and best line for the transmission of its agricultural pro duce to the markets of Leeds, Wakefield, and the constiming dis tricts, and secure the return of coals, lime, and manures at a greatly reduced cost. The Committee have also given directions for a sur vey of the country between Beverley and ,the favourite watering places of Hornsea, with a view of giving a branch line through the richest portion of Holderness, and affording to that district a ready, expeditious, and much desired mode of transit. the Main Line of Railway from York to Hull will effect a very considerable saving of distance between the two termini, and give railway communication to a very extensive and valuable district of country at present Improvided with railway accoinmoda tion ; it will also open out a direct and expeditious communication for ie Dur ham and Newcastle Collieries to the port of Hull, as well as Bever ley, Market-Weighton, and Pocklington, and the several villages on the Line, and by its connexion with the intended Leeds and York, and Lancashire and Yorkshire North-Eastern Railways, give direct railway communication from the whole of North Lancashire to the port of Hull, and the terminus of the Main Line, at the East Docks, will save a large expenditure, which, without the construction of this Line, must be Incurred in the carriage of merchandise across the town. The branch lines to Great Driffield and Selby will also open out an entirely new district of country, and effect an immense saving of distance between Bridlington, brittleld, Market Weighton, Pockling ton, and a great portion of the East-Riding, and the town of Leeds, Wakefield, Manchester, and the manufacturing districts, and by the junction of the Selby branch with the London and York line at Selby, will give the most direct and expeditious communication to London and the south, from a great portion of the East-Riding, while, by its connexion with the Wakefield, Pontefract, and Goole Railway, it will open out the valuable Knottingaley Limo Quarries to the agri cultural districts in Holderness and the East-Riding. They will also give the shortest and most complete line of communication from York and the whole of the West-Riding to the favourite watering place of Bridlington Quay. The intended branch to Homsca will form a very valuable adjunct to the main line, and being the nearest watering place to both Beverley and Hull, will thus be reached by the inhabitants of the former town in a few minutes, and by those of Hull in considerably less than an hour, while this branch will also afford accommodation to the several important villages lying between Beverley and Homsea for general merchandise and agricultural produce. The great advantages which will be thus secured to the whole of the East-Riding, inchiding the Holderness district, are apparent on reference to the Map, and arrangements have been made by which this line will be promoted in friendly conjunction with other im portant railways in the West of Yorkshire and Lancashire. The line will have the benefit of a great through as well as local traffic, and the country is admirably adapted for railway communi cation, being nearly on a level the whole distance, and the cost of construction consequently much below the average. To prevent unnecessary trouble to parties at a distance, the public are informed that the share capital of this Company will be confined exclusively to landowners and persons resident upon the line, or otherwise locally interested, and applications for shares from them must be addressed to the solicitors.

This:Company has been formed by the Union of the Promoters of the Thames Embankment and Atmdspheric Railway Company with the Promoters of the Thames Embankment and City Railway Company. The object of the united Company is to carry into effect the re port of the Metropolitan Improvement Commissioners (7th February, 1844) recommending an embankment of the northern shore of the Thames, between Blackfriars and Westminster bridges, and preceding reports of Committees of the House of Commons in favour of in creased facilities of traffic to relieve the narrow and over-crowded thoroughfares which form the only existing communications between the east and west end of the Metropolis. This great public improvement has hitherto been delayed by the difficulty of providing adequate funds from resources not interfering with the general taxation of the country ; but it has appeared to the promoters of the present united Company that the object may now be attained, and be rendered a highly profitable investment for capital, by combining with It the additional advantages of railway communication. _ _ It is proposed therefore to execute the line of embankment founded oa the plan of Mr. Page, according to the recommendation of her 3lajesty's Commissioners for Metropolitan Improvements, and to combine with it a railway en the atmospheric principle il•om Hunger ford Market, or its neighbourhood, to the vicinity of London -bridge and the Bank, and thence to the Blackwell Railway near Fenchurch street ; and also to join the various railways terminating at London bridge Station, either by one of the existing bridges, or by a new bridge to be constructed for the object. It is obvious that this great undertaking cannot be carried into effect without the sanction of Government. For the purpose of ob taining such sanction, proposals have been submitted to the Metropo litan Commissioners regarding the execution and management of the work, and which the promoters expect will receive a favourable con sideration both from that board and the City authorities. The levels of the embankment and railway will be so arranged as not to interfere with the wharves. The point where the line will diverge from the river side, to join the Blackwell Terminus, will be determined by the comparative cost and utility of continuing by the river side to London-bridge, or of forming a new street, adapted to the railway, parallel with the Thames. The names on the Previsional Committee show that the various Companies whose railways the Thames Embankment and Railway Junction Company is intended to unite, will promote its progress ; and the support of the public at large may be anticipated, for the following among other important reasons. _ _ let. river-side terrace, equally striking in point of appearance and utility, affording a spacious drive and promenade available for the purposes of health and recreation, will be afforded to the public without resort to the Consolidated Fund, while the most crowded thoroughfares of the City will be at the same time relieved from part of the vast traffic which now obstructs them, and by an improved mode of railway transit, free from noise, smoke, and danger. 21. The improvement of the navigation of the River, and of the Me tropolitan sewerage, and the removal from the northern shore of the unsightly and unwholesome accumulations of mud which now die :figure it. 3d. The connexion of the principal towns and seaports E. the southern and eastern coasts with the centre of the Metropolis. An estimate has been formed of the traffic between the projected termini ; but to avoid the appearance of exaggeration, the Provisional Directors submit only the following general calculation, which shows an ample return for the capital invested. Nobody can reasonably . doubt this return who considers the multitudes continually passi n g and repassing to and from the City on foot, in omnibuses and other carriages, and in steam-boats, and without reckoning the very largely increased traffic that must accrue by the junction with the above mentioned railways, and their many projected extensions. When it is remembered also that the transit will occupy less than five minutes, instead of, as at present, twenty minutes to half an hour, the saving alone of valuable time to men of business, &c., must insure a power ful support to this undertaking. The following table exhibits the immense traffic between the City and the West End : Steamers averaging 370 trips per day 16,000 Passengers Omnibuses ditto 2,120 journies per day • • 20,000 ditto Cabs and private carriages, ditto 6,588 .. 13,000 ditto 49,000 ditto 76,000 ditto Foot passengers, ditto 125,000 Persons daily, If one-third only of the passengers by steamers and carriages use the railway . 16,300 And one-eight of the foot passengers .. 9,500 And of those travelling to and fro, from the different railways connected with the Blackwall and London-bridge termini .. 12,200 The aggregate would be • . 35,000 Assuming that the improved mode of transit will increase the number of passengers about one-third (the usual calculation being double) the daily number will be 50,000. An average of 3d. would give 625/. per day, or .. £228,125 per annua l Ana deducting for expenses . • • • 57,000 There would remain .. £171,125 Or above nine per cent. upon the capital. An increase, too, may be reasonably expected from the traffic of the eastern and western lines of railway crossing the River for communication with the central terminus, for which a Company has been formed, and with which it is expected that arrangements will be made satisfactory to all parties interested.

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, in 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 other 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 Crews Railway, and the Oxford, Worcester, and Wol verhampton Railway. At Warwick it will unite with the Birmingham and Oxford June-, tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway. And at Rugby w ith 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 difficulty, 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 Rot interfere with any ornamental property, and the landowners are favourable to the undertaking. Tile 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 V. per 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 scriptions. 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.

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 Peniston 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, Hickleton, Barm borough, Mexborough, Conisborough, Sprotborough, Bentley, Don caster (where it will cross the London and York Railway), and proceed through or near to Armthorpe, Cawtley, Brampton (with a future branch to Thorne, and such further branches as may be eventually determined upon), Auckley, Wroot (where it will enter tho Isle of Axholme), and through or near to Haxey, Epworth, Belton, Butterwick, Owston, 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 forty-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 facilitating 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 are 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 manication 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 n?ar Hollnfirth, 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 line of Railway intended to be constructed by this Compa fly will commence at or near Norton Bridge (a station of the Grand Junction Railway), in the county of Stafford, and proceed from thence by Eccleshall, Offiey, Norbury, Forton, Newport, Donning= Wood, Oaken Gates, Priors Lee, Stirchley, Dawley, Madeley, and Iron Bridge, to Coalbrook-dale ; there, crossing the proposed " Wor cester and Crewe Railway," it will pass along the slope of Wenlnck edge, by Rushbury and Eaton-under-Haywood, to Wistanstow, in the county of Salop, where it will run into, and form a junction with the " Shrewsbury, Hereford, and North Wales Railway." The line will traverse a rich mineral district, and will have a secure and extensive traffic by the carriage of coal from the Shropshire coal-field, to a depot proposed to be formed at Wistanstow, for the supply of South Shropshire, part of Radnorshire and i f l o e rd re , fordshire, and also from whence it will be conveyed by the Shrews bury,ne neighbouring nNgo counties,r North Wales calculate the extent to which this traffice ma y Railway,"wherecoa d o i cs n to . 3 t f a lit sb e g t. o . m ' l e y; e i s e r. s a sb n iyb d i t ti t oo a ed, coal-field, and the important manufacturing and railway communication thus op will be reduced one-half at and Llanidloes, the price per e n tu ec i tb;t l t v o e w el ma t the S N lir e o w p t s o l ,n i onmanufacturers, now depend those places, and the flan n elsw y the cheapness of coal, be ing upon water power, 11 n and to extend their tr ade in p r oportion to enabled to employ its due weight to any other.

By its junction with the " Grand Junction" and the " Hereford and Shrewsbury" Railways, this line will form a direct communica tion between Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, York and Hull, and Swansea and South Wales. As a junction line alone (connecting as it will such important rail ways), a large passenger traffic may be depended upon, but when it is consideNd that the centre of the line passes through a densely populated mining district, and the remainder through a thriving agricultural neighbourhood, it will be obvious that a sufficient local traffic exists to pay a highly remunerative interest on the amount of capital required to be embarked. The line, which will not interfere with any property of an orna mental or costly character, will not exceed 46 miles in length, and will be constructed at much less than the average cost. Such important local co-operation has been secured, that no oppo sition is anticipated or can be sustained against the measure. The liability of the Shareholders wzil be limited, by the Act, to the amount of their subscription to the capital stock ; and power will be applied for to allow interest at the rata of four per cent. per annum on the amount of the deposit, and upon the fhrther calls, from the date of each payment until the opening of tha line ; and the find deposit being paid, a further call will not be made until the Act • Parliament shall have been obtained. ;Maps of the line, prospectuses, &c., are to be obtained from MO Secretary, the solicitors, the local agents, also the brokers, Messrs.
