This short but important line of railway will proceed from the Isle of Ely, Wisbeach,. and Lincolnshire Junction Railway, at March, through or near Wimblington, Doddington, Benwick, Broughton, King's Ripton, Hartford, Chatteris, Ramsey, Warboys, and Hurst, to Huntingdon. Tile placing of Wisbeach, the natural port of this rich and exten sive agricultural district, in immediate connexion with Huntingdon, the focus of six railways, must be a great accommodation, and of paramount importance to that port; added to which, it has long been desired by the mercantile community of boils towns. It also gives Wisbeach and Its vicinity, and the other populous places which it will traverse, the choice of two routes to the metro polis on the completion of that portion of the London anti York Rail- IN ay which joins Huntingdon, giving the railway communication by St. Ives to Wisbeach, an object which the inhabitants of the town have publicly te , .tified their desire to accomplish. ;w Power will be applied for in the Act of Parliament to amalgamate this Company with the Isle of Ely, Wisbeacb, and Lincolnshire Junc tion Railway under one management. Holders of shares in the Isle of Ely, Wisbeach, and Lincolnshire Junction Railway may have shares in the present Company, in the proportion of one share for every two, by transmitting a letter stating the fact to the Secretary, or either of the Solicitors, on or before the 15th of October instant.

Little, Esq. aud Tucker Cornwall has long been struggling to procure the benefits of rail way communication, but divisions amongst its friends have for several successive years prevented any scheme front being carried out. At length, on the 20th August last, at a full county meeting at Bodmin, presided over by the High Sheriff, it was unanimously resolved :—" That the general interests of the county of Cornwall, as well as of the public at large, absolutely requite that no trunk line should be sanctioned through the county which dues not afford the most direct, central, sate, and continuous railway communication from Falmouth and Penzance to' London " This decision, in con junction with the appearance of the scheme of the North Devon Company, has appeared to the promoters of the Great Western and ealinouth Junction railway, to present a favourable opportunity for bringing before the public a Central Line, on the broad gunge, which, by the combination of four powertill companies, is now, it may be said, brought almost to the boarders of Cornwall. The Great Western railway, already open to Exeter, is now beirt extended to CreAton, and from thence the North Devon Cempany intend to construct a main line to join their north and south Devon lh:e, in the neighbourhood of Hatherleigh, thirty mil- s directly west from Eaeter, and about seventy miles from Falmouth. The Great Western and Falmouth Junction Railway will com mence near Hatherleigh, and will be about seventy miles Lr length and form a direct extension of the line trom Crediton to that plitee. proposed by the North Devon Company, and will thence proceed Launees on, Bodmin, and Truro to Falmouth; and in order to pre serve the old line of communication from Cornwall to Ph mouth, ad mitted to be of great local importance, a branch will ran trout the main line near Bodmin, through or near Liskeard, to join the South Devon and Tavistock Railway, near Plymouth. By means of this railway, and the North Devon, Credidto and Exeter, Bristol and Exeter, and Great Western Railways, there will be a direct and nub , oken line on the broad gauge :hem FalMontl: through Exeter, to London, on the one hand, and to Pi—mouth and the South Coast on the other; and it will also be connected with the railwa3 s and canals already existing in Cornwall, and, by branches, with all the most important towns in that county and the North tit Devon. It is also intended that the line shall be the best in engineer ing qualities which the natural formation of the country will allow, and that the formidable difficulties, which induced the Board of Trade to report to Parliament against the late Cornwall and Devon Central line, shall be avoided. This scheme has a decided advantage of er any other at present proposed forgiving to Cornwall the benefits of railway c mmunica tion, and is the only line which can with certainty effect the object to which the county became pledged, by the resolution of the 20th of August last—no other line affords " direct, central, safe and con tinuotts railway communication from Falmouth and Penzance to London." The Cornwall and Devon Central Railway will not en sure a continuous line from Falmouth to London, until three other independent Companies shall have succeeded in obtaining their Bills ; and these projected lines have also to contend against the op positon of through and integral lines from London to Exeter. The W est of England below Exeter, is obviously the country of the broad gauge, and there is no probability that Parliament will sanction the introduction of any other gauge into that district, which would be productive of endless confusion and inconvenience. With the South Devon line on the one hand, the projected North Devon line on the other, the Exeter and Crediton and its projected extension westward to Hatherleigh, and the West Cornwall line from Truro to Penzance, all on the broad gauge, and all projected or supported by the Great Western, and its associated Companies—there can be little doubt that no narrow gauge line will be permitted to run parallel with those already sanctioned by the legislature, or proposed for the further accommodation of the country by such influential companies. In order fully to comply with the expressed wishes of the county of Cornwall and to secure that "direct, central, sale, and continuous railway communication" so much required, the present line has been projected, and wilt, when completed, form the Central link of the great series of lines already under the direction of the Great Western, and the other associated Companies. It is therefore confidently presumed that no other scheme for connecting Cornwell and West Devon with the Metropolis, and the North of England, can compete with the present line with any probability of success, presenting as this line does the prominent points of national and local advantage, and possessing all the elements essential to command the favourable consideration of Parliament.

It is sufficient to say, they prove an ample return on the capital to be invested. The survey is in progress, and will be completed in time to apply to Parliament in the ensuing Seasiou ; and the promoters having already received highly satisfactory assurances of support, as well local as general, feel justified in expressing their convictioli that their appli cation will be crowned with success. The capital will he divided Into 50,000 shares of 251. each, upon which a deposit of 21. I2s. 6d. per share must be paid npon the allot ment. Rower will be taken to pay interest on the deposit, and ad calls till the line is opened ; and no subscriber will be liable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then not beyon t the amount of his subscription.

The first is to esta blish the most direct line of railway communication between all th midland and southern and northern counties of England ; and also with Scotland, by a short junction line of about 22 miles in length from the North Union Railway, at or near Parkside, to apoint on the Manchester and Birmingham Railway,. at or near Prestbury, and thence to Macclesfield, there uniting with some one or more of such of the undermentioned proposed lines, to or near that place, as maybe sanctioned by Parliament, and effect a junction with the Trent Val ley, London and Bilmingham, and Midland Counties Railways Birmingham and Manchester Direct Railway Churnet and Flyth, or Macclesfield and Lichfield Junction Railway Tean and Dove Valley North Staffordshire London and Manchester Direct (Remington's and Rastrick's Amalgatnated) North Cheshire South Union • Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Manchester and Rugby Direct Direct. Sheffield and Macclesfield. A continuous line of railway communication will thus be formed from L Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and the Potteries, wills Wig ei. Preston, the ports of Fleetwood and Lancaster, and with Carli-le; and from that place, by the Caledonian Railway, to Edinburgh and Glasgow, and all the important cities and towns in Scotland, thus establishing the most Important and 'uninter rupted, aid at the same time the shortest and most expeditious line • of communication beta een the metropolis of England and that of Scotland, and all the intermediate places. In conjunction with the oposed line from Sheffield to Macclesfield, the most direct commu nication between Liverpool and Sheffield will be effected. The second object of this Ciinnytny is 1?) , the proposed branch to Warrington, there uniting with.the contemplated line of the Grand Junction Railway Company from that place to the Liverpool sum and Manchester Railway, at Iluyton, to effect the shortest and most convenient line of communication between Macclesfield, Warrington, and Liverpool. Who, it is considered that Macclesfield and its environs, with a population of 50,060, must become so important a centre of railway communication from the midland, western, and southern counties of England, and that there is not at present any direct railway from thence, connecting it with all the important manufacturing, coal, and other mineral districts, in the direct line to Scotland, and that this line would meet the existing deficiency, and form the most di rect route, by'effecting a saving of sixteen Miles in the distance than Macclesfield to Parkside and also to Warrington, over any esta blished or proposed line in a northern direction—the desireableness of this project, in a 11P Tonal point of view, must, it is presumed, be ad mitt ed ; and that it will form an important trunk line of communi cation, over which a larger amount of passenger traffic, agricultural, mineral, and the manufacturing produce would pass, than any other line of the same length in the klaAom. The advantage which this project offers to the public will be sufficiently apparent, without fur ther comment. The liability of each shareholder will be restricted to the amount LOCAL AosxTs.

The establishment of the above railway will effect two great and important objects ;—first, the supply of the metropolis and its vicinity with coal fully twenty per cent. cheaper than by the pre. sent mode of transit : secondly, by the exclusion of passenger traffic to diminish the risk of accidents. The Board of Trade, in reference to the latter, have in their report upon the subject, laid great stress on the importance of separating the passenger from goods trains ; and the Select Committee on the Coal Trade recommend that every means of promoting a new supply of coal should be encouraged. The existing lines from the north being alteady crowded to excess with trains of every class, travelling at velocities varying from fifteen to fifty miles per hour, and new railways being almost daily projected as feeders to the great trunk lines, the already prodigious traffic on those lines must be still further augmented ; so that it may be truly assumed, that the addition thereto of several millions of tons of coals and goods is out of the question. It, therefore, becomes manifestly necessary, with a view to public convenience, and to supply the metropolis and the intermediate districts with coals from the coal fields In the north (from which at present the greater proportion is supplied) that an independent railway, devoted exclusively to the conveyance of coals and goods at a moderate and regular speed, should be constructed from Newcastle to London. It is, therefore, intended to confine this rail Way to carriage of coals and goods only ; and it is ascertained that the conveyance by railway of large quantities, for long distances, at a moderate speed, and at comparatively low rates, will be as profitable us the carriage of passengers at a greater velocity, The actual ex perience of the London and Birmingham Railway affords a safe ground for calculation; the expenses on that line for the year 1844 being 1,4721. p mile; at the same rateper mile, 2,000,000 tons of coal annually may be .nought the entire distance from Newcastle; this quantity is about one-half of the present importation from London, making on the average from 13,000 to 14,000 tons daily. The extreme fluctuations to which the price of coal is subject from irregularity in the supply, dependent as it is on the uncer. tainty of the winds and weather, has hitherto operated against the estabishment of manufactories on the banks of the Thames. From the same cause, also, London has, at times narrowly escaped total darkness, the gas works not being able to obtain their regular supply of coals. In the course of the last five years the prices of household coal, on the Coal Exchange, have fluctuated between 14s. 6d. to 27a. per ton, and last winter the ;mice rose even to 85s per ton ; the high prices always occurring at a season when the scarcity, and consequently increased price of coal, is most distress ing to the poor. The removal of the colliers from the Pool is an important con sideration, as it will necessarily render the navigation of the Thames safer for all otber yessols and it is no valid objection to this undertaking, that it will supersede, in a great measure the employment of collier ships, because it is now ascertained, be. yond all doubt, that coals can be brought to London by railway at 20 per cent less than those seaborne; and, therefore, London wilt be supplied from Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and South Wales, unless the present project, or one offering equal advantages to the northern coal-owners, in their certain and fast approaching competition with the Infant collieries, be carried into effect. In addition to the through traffic, accommodation will be afforded to the intermediate districts for the conveyance of coals and goods, which will materially increase the revenue of thetompany. The estimated cost of the line is 5,000,0001, and the traffic, in coals alone, will give a net return of 10 per cent. It is proposed to raise the required capital in 200,000 shares of 25/. each ; deposit 2/. 12s. 6d. per share, the subsequent calls to be made in the usual way. The customary clauses will be inserted in the Act, limiting the liability of the shareholdeta to the amount of their respective shares. Interest, at the rate of 4 per cent, per annum will be allowed on all calls between the passing of the Act and the opening of tha railway, Prospectuses, with fuller information and in detail, together with Fo•:ms of Application, may be obtained on applying to the Solicitors of the Company, Messrs.

" The Branches of the London and County Joint-Stock Bea at Tunbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Lewes, and Brighton. At Heating—Messrs. Hildes, i Co. The object of this company is to effect a direct communication, by railway, between Tunbridge Wells and Hastings, and also between Tunbridge Wells and Brighton. The Hastings line (about twenty-two miles in length) will com mence at Tunhridge Wells, and run near Frant, Wartburg's, Lamberhurst, Etchingham, Hurst Green, Robertsbridge. Whatling "ton, and Battle, having its terminus at the extremity of Hastings. The Brighton line (about twenty- two miles in length) will com mence at Tunbridge Wells, and take a direct course to Brighton, passing near Mayfield, Rothertield, Uckfield, Little Horsteit. and Lewes, where it will form a junction with the line, which is nearly completed, between Lewes and Brighton. The numerous visitors and inhabitants of the fashienable watering-places of Tunbridge Wells, Brighton, and Hastings, will thus not merely enjoy the means of rapid communication with each other by railway —an advantage which ought to have been supplied to them before this—but will also have, respectively, when the proposed line from London to Tunbridge is formed, a continued and direct railway to the metropolis. The area embraced within these lints of railway is justly re nrarkable for the variety and va:ue of its agricultural produce; being one of the most extensivis homdistricts in England, and not inferior in general fertility to any part of the kingdom ; and when it is considered that the metropolis is the principal, indeed, it may almost be said, the exclusive market for its productions, the profits arising from the conveyance of those productions aloe, must form (independent of passenger traffic) a very large source of revenue to the shareholders. Even from the already developed resources of the ext, nsiese wealthy, and populous districts through which the Company's lines will run, the mos encouraging estimate of results may be justly entertained; and when the Hastings Dock and Harbour Company (which has already been provisionally registered) shall have carried into effect the proposed improvements, the line from that town to Tunbridge Wells must become one of the most profitable in Eng. land, as it will then be the great highway of continental tourists. The route from London to Paris, by Hastings and Dieppe, is de. cidedly the most direct, as well as the most interesting, w hich a glance at the map of Europe will satisfactorily show. To the town of Hastings and St. Leonard's, the greatest advan tages must accrue from the establishment of a railway, bringing them within two hours of the metrcpolis, and, through it, by the great line of which it is the focus, connecting them with every portion of the country. An immense increase in the number of their opulent visitors must necessarily be the consequence, the climate of that part of the coast of Sussex being universally con sidered equally salubrious as the most favoured parts of Devon. fr.

It will give in. creased facilities for the transport of the produce of the districts through which it passes, and will complete the railway communi cation between Canterbury, Maidstone, Chatham, Rochester, and other towns in the county of Kent, and Brighton, Chichester, Portsmouth, Southampton, and other important towns in the western parts of the country. The existing traffic in passengers and goods (which must be materially increased by the establishment of railways) are too well known to require a detailed statement in this prospectus, and cannot fail to secure .to the shareholders a large interest on the capital invested. A preliminary survey of the country has been made, and no part of it has heed found to offer engineering difficulties cf more than ordinary character. The liability of the shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions, and, in the allotment of shares, a prefer ence will be given to landowners on the respective lines, and other parties locally interested. Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at 4/. per ceat. per annum on all calls, previous to the opening of the lines. The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the power of making alterations in the line or branches, sod of adop ing th e atmospheric principle, if advisable.. They are also determined on giving strict attention to economy in the expenditure of the capital, arid will thereby be enabl• d to guarantee low charges for passengers and goods, and there can be tio t reasonablele c° e doubt,conveyance of that when the traffic is fairly developed, the full rate of 111. per cent. will be paid, and a surplus left for branch lines, or a reduction of tolls. The strong feelings in favour of a direct line, evinced on the part of the public in Hastings and surrounding neighbourhood ; the support of the landowners and agriculturists, with the numer. ous and strong assurances riceived in favour of au ittdrpcnden, Company, leave no d ,utit of the successful issue of air aeplication to Parliament for an Act next Session.

This undertaking is designed to supply the wants of an exten sive mineral and populous district, the local traffic of which alone is admitted to be sufficient to support a railway, and amply re munerate the shareholders. The line will not only accomplish so desirable an object, but it alsopossesses the advantage of fizosning a direct communication, by the shortest possible route (in connexion with existing and projected railways), between two of the most important divisions of the kingdom. It is intended to commence by joining the Grand Junction Railway at Stafford, and proceed by the Uttoxeter, Rochester, and Ashbourne, to a junction with the Midland Railway, the Man chester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midland Railway, and the Amber gate, Nottingham, Bo ton, and Eastern Junction Railway, at the General Terminus at Amber-gate; a short branch from Wirks worth will connect the line with that town, and the important limestone end mint:rat district connected with it. The line will be .bout forty miles long, and by its connection with the Midland Railway at Amtiet-gate, and the Derby and Crewe Ra lway at U . toxeters will be the nearest practicable route from Sheffield, York, Leeds, Hull, the populous manufacturing districts of Yorkshire and the north and north eastern part of England, to the salt districts of Cheshire, the Potteries, Liverpool and North Wales, and by its junction at Stafford with the Shropshire Union Railway, will be the nearest route from those important districts to Shrewsbury and South Wales, and by the Grand Junction Railway, to the densely populated districts 01 South Staffordshire. The district is destitute of water communication, and it is only necessary to advert to a few of the prominent resources se the country to show the maseitude of the local traffic. The price of coals on all parts of the line is very high, being carted a distance or 10 to 15 miles. The cost of this indispensable article of consumption will be re. uced nearly one half, and this line will immediately communicate with the Derbyshire and Staf fordshire coal-fields. The line will pass several valuable quarries of Derbyshire marble which Is extensively used in all parts of the kingdom ; and also numerous lead-smelting works and rolling mats, producing large quantities of pig and sheet lead. It will afford an inexhaustible suppiy of lime for the highly cultivated land on the banks of the Dove and Southward. It will open the Derbyshire mines to the Copper and Zinc Smelting Works in the neighbourhood of Cheadle, and will afford a direct communication with Sheffield for the articles manulactured at those works, which at present are carted to Derby, a di tance of more than twenty miles. Already a - large cattle traffic exists with the north, which will unquestionably be greatly augmented by the facilities of this rail way, large importations of Scotch and Yorkshire cattle will be brought for fattening on the luxuriant pastures of the Dove, tak ing in return to the markets of the manufacturing towns, the corn, cheese, wool, and other produce of the extensive and fertile agri cultural district which surrounds the Staffordshire terminus ca this railway. It will bring the already large cheese and cattle fairs of Uttoxeter and Ashbourne into greater importance. . The iron furnaces of South Staffordshire consume annually nearly • a million tons of limestone. It is well known that the iron masters give a decided preference to the lithestone of the south Peak, ovet any other that has hitherto been tried; the very , great fusibility of this stone rendering it peculiarly suitable as a flux for reducing the stubborn iron ores of South Staftbrdshire, and were it not for the dilatory and expensive means of transit it would now be used to the total exclusion of all ether kinds. The proximity of this railway to the iron district, the fact of its entering the limestone range at tke most southern extremity, and the advantage of excavating the stone immediately on the line of rails, cannot ant ensure to it a very large share of that enormous traffic, if it do not engross the whole. The visitors to Dovedale and the Peak are already very nu merous. When this line and the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midland Junction Railway open this romantic scenery to the indus riot's artisans who chiefly compose the great hives of popu lath n• with which this railway will communicate, and make it easily accessible to this class of persona at a trifling sacrifice boll. of tins, and money, the revenue from this source alone during the summer months will be found to be of no inconsiderable amount. The projectors feel convinced that this railway contains the ele ments of great prosperity, and that as an investment it offirrs more than ordinary securiiy. The landowners on the line are favourable to this undertakings and the names of many influential proprietors will be found on the Provisional Committee. Arrangements have bean made with the Derby and Crewe Rail way Company, who take a portion of the capital, and give the line their support and co-opera , ion. The Committee of Management are fortunate in having se Cured the valuable services of Mr. Locke, as consulting engineer, and of Mr. Meehe, as resident engineer, who have a ,, sure the corn. mittee that the plans and surveys will be ready for application to Parliament the next session.
