Reference ATA.I\.TCHESTER and RUGBY DIRECT RAILWAY, via MACCLESFIELD. The Provisional Committee beg to announce, that practical Engi neers of great experience have gone over the proposed Line, and have satisfied the Committee that the country is perfectly practi cable for railway purposes. They have likewise the satisfaction to state, that Contractors of known respectability are willing to execute the whole of the works within the estimate in eighteen months, thus putting the matter of time and money beyond a doubt. The object of this line Is to effect a direct communication between London and the Land's End. In a national point of view such a line is indispensable. With the advantage of a direct railroad, Falmouth, from its position at the western extremity of the kingdom, would undoubtedly long since have been the principal port on that coast. With the advantage of at least 280 miles of heavy road, that place has attained its high po sition as a Packet Station. Southampton, with far less natural ad vantages, has, since the opening of the South-Western Railway, in creased its imports from 200,0001. to 3,000,0001. per annum. At Bris tol, before the opening of the Great Western Railway, the imports were declining ; since then they have very considerably increased. The merits of a line to the Land's End as an investment for ca pital, it was not left to the present Company to discover. The Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Railway having already reached Exeter, it has been in contemplation to extend that line to Fal mouth by way of Plymouth; and various other projects have been set 'on foot on the conviction that Falmouth must be reached by railway. The object of this prospectus is to show that no other line than the present can ultimately satisfy the exigencies of the country in regard to this, its most important outport--" the natural Packet Station of the empire." The present project is distinguished by this—that it is direst. It Is as nearly as possible a straight line from London to the Land's End. The London, Bath, and Bridgewater Company having amalga mated with this Company, the immense local influence commanded by them will now contribute to the great national object of a direct line ; while means have been taken for securing the traffic and afford ing all the accommodation contemplated by that Company. The Direct Western availing itself of the Great Western Railway so far as Reading, pursues its course by or near Newbury, Hunger ford, Great Bedwin, Marlborough, Devizes, the manufacturing dis trict of Trowbridge (from which a diverging line will be carried by Bradford direct to Bath), Westbury, Frome, Shepton Mallet, Wells (from which another diverging line will be taken to Bridgewater), Glastonbury to Taunton, being shorter by about thirty-two miles than any existing or projected railways between these points, and without a tunnel.

LOCAL AGENTS. It appears that England will be divided longitudinally by four great lines of railway, which will become so many main trunks, intersec ing and intersected by numerous lines, both transverse and oblique, opening rapid and ready communication with the intermediate dis tricts, with packet stati ons , an d w i t h sea - port towns. The more easterly of these, which is also th e l onges t, or i g i nat i ng at Newcastle upon. Tyne, and passing through York, Peterborough, and Sambridge, may be said to terminate in London, whence all places are accessible. The second line, counting westward, is more tortuous, and has also a common northern terminus with the preceding, by which its ad vantages are materially restricted. This line, descending the Ere wash Vale, and passing through Rugby and Oxford, becomes a South ampton line by falling into the South-Western Railway at Basing stoke. The third longitudinal line, or the most westerly, is still more de fective in design than the preceding ; employing the steep and narrow railway called the Birmingham and Gloucester as its first link, it traverses nearly in a right line the least populous and most undulating parts of Gloucester, Berks, Wilts,, and Hants ; and, properly speaking, has no Independent terminus. A large longitudinal section of the kingdom—the West Midland district—a district inviting a similar species of accommodation from concentrated local advantages, still remains unprovided with a chief trunk line ; and it is contemplated to remedy this deficiency by the present undertaking, or a fourth longitudinal line. Adopting Birmingham as a northern terminus of the West Mid land, Manchester, and Southampton Railway, it is proposed to carry a line through or near to Stratford-on-Avon, thence between Moreton, Stow, Northleach, Fairford, Cricklade, and Swindon, where it will merge in the South and Midlands' Junction Railway. The length of the proposed line will be about sixty mil" and the district traversed by it is gently undulating and densely peopled. At its southern terminus, Swindon, it becomes identical with the South tion hitherto sug ges t e d w i th the harbours of Weymouth, Christ and Midlands, by m eans of which it opens a most direct communica church, Poole, and S outhampton. At its northern terminus, Bir mingham, it commu n i cates with a series of lines, projected, in pro gress,ever be constructed between the southern ports of England and the or completed, w hi ch will form the most direct line that can great manufacturing districts.

By the construction, therefore, of little more than 60 miles of rail, as here proposed, the shortest, most direct, and convenient communication between Manchester and Southampton will be es tablished--a line, also, however superior in position to others pro mising similar advantages, may yet be considered as competing with none, but as an independent work, originating at Birmingham and terminating in the seaports of Weymouth, Christchurch, Poole, and Southampton.

In compliance with th e suggest i on of the Committee of th e th o of Lords (the measure having previously received the sanet to 11 0- a.: Board of Trade, and the approval of the House of Commo , at 4), a o tl them and most accurate survey o f th e w h o l e li ne of country I,raver between Plymouth and F a l mou th has been determined etpon, and Mr. Brunel has been instructed to carry out their ups' loco mendation. The construction of a line from or near Launceston, by Is ray of Cre . ; diton to Exeter, forming a part of the North Devon schemc t , by Wi ll d it is proposed t o g i ve railway accommodation to the no aaft b central parts of th a t county, has rendered it most desira the that t ii Junction should be effected between the Cornwall Railway an d Nun, Devon line ; Mr. Brunel has therefore been instructed to e xt -end e' survey with a view t o e ff ect th i s j unction, and to afford _elk o c t coal' munication with Exeter and the North of Devon. By the proposed plan the following objects will be Watt ned.„ -- „ a continuous line of rail way f rom Penzance and Falmounth o x 4 / 4 . mouth, and thenc e b y the South Devon line to Exeter. A dire line by way of L aunceston and Crediton to Exeter. From Li ,unc,sac; ton a line through Tavistock to Plymouth, and by,the',North Devon,o Railway a line thro ug h Barnstaple and South Molton to ;), oin Bristol and Eater line at Tiverton and Taunton. By the connexi on wh i ch will thus be formed between the )rnwa tt ll Railway and the South Devon, North Devon, and West ern" - .., Railways, the most complete and comprehensive system of • railW l k , communication will be provided for the West of:England, t ktring_.,l utmost amount of accommodation to all the principal to wtts,:a m places in the counties of Cornwall and Devon. In the county of Cornwall the towns of Penzance, St. lye. I, .IVra ra zion, Hayle, Camborne, Redruth, Falmouth, Penry n , Then ), tc Austell, Lostwithiel, Bodmin, Wadebridge, Liskeard, Latino ,stop. and Torpoint, and the great mining, commercial, trading, . end . cultural parishes and districts of the county will have the men edt of railway communication ; while the ports of St. Ives, Portret Quay, and Padstow on the north coast, and Mount's Bay, Fab i sti!._ Mevagissey, Pentuan, Charlestown, Par, F owe y, an d L oc e on south coast, will be connected with or brought within very zu odera w distances of the main line. In the laying out of the Cornwall Railway advantage" wil (1 also be taken of the several local railways already formed or now i t t cowls' of construction. In carrying these objects into effect the Company will Lave the most cordial co-operation and support of its associated C mnpaniet namely, the Great Western, the Bristol and Exeter, B) 'lOOl an. Gloucester, the south Devon, the North Devon,landlWest Corn Railways. Considerable progress has already been made in the survey.. INCREASE OF CAPITAL.

SOLICITORS —Messrs. Tilson and Squance, Coleman-street. This Company is formed to supply the valuable island of Trinidad with the advantages of railway communication. No part of the British dominions appears to present greater natural facilities for their construction, or to afford a better prospect of return for the capital required to be invested. From the time that the island was ceded to the British Crown, at the peace of Amiens, it steadily advanced until the abolition of slavery, when it sustained a severe check, in common with the other colonies, though its production was not diminished in the same pro portion. The fertility of its soil, and the high wages of labour, have since that period attracted emigrants from all parts, and especially from the other West India Islands—so that cultivation has been gradually restored, as will be seen by the official statement of exports. And, according to the census lately taken, the population appears to have increased in the same period fifty per cent. As the arrangements now mad e f or encouraging Immigrati on pro mise to bring a large accession of labour into the colony, so there is every probability that its production will be progressively aug mented. It may be doubled without any addition to the existing establishments: and it is capable of indefinite extension, there being still in the possession of the Crown upwards of a million of acres of the finest virgin land within the tropics. With the increase of popu lation, and the prosperity of agriculture, there would of course be a corresponding increase of traffic. In forming a system of railway communications which will suit the present condition of Trinidad, and which will yield an immediate re turn, it is, therefore, desirable to contemplate their gradual extension with the advancement of the colony. An outline of such a plan has been submitted to the Secretary of State for the Colonies ; and, although no conclusive arrangement can be made without the assent of the Legislative Council of the island, Lord Stanley has intimated that "he is willing to' give every en couragement he can to the proposed undertaking, consistently with his duty of watching over the interests of the colony, and that he will recommend the subject to the favourable consideration of the Local Government." Under this recommendation it is expected that a great part of the land, as well as all the timber, which may be required for the con struction of the railways, and the works connected therewith, will be obtained gratuitously from the Crown ; and it is also confidently be lieved that individual proprietors will in like manner grant the land for the lines that may intersect their estates. The precise course of these lines will depend, in some degree, upon this encouragement. It is further anticipated that liberal grants of Crown lands, contiguous to the railways, will be made in connexion with their progressive extension. These concessions, while justly made in consideration of important public advantages, will be of great value to the Company, both im mediately and prospectively. As the Company will be able to conduct the transport of produce, and the conveyance of passengers, at one-third, or even one-fourth, of the present expense (which appears to be from three to four shillings per ton per mile), with the additional advantage of cer tainty at all seasons, and protection from waste and plunder, there can be no doubt that their railways will command the whole of the existing traffic in the districts which they are to traverse, as well as any increase which may arise. It appears that a single line, with passing places, suMcient to ac commodate four-fifths of the cultivated parts of the colony, may be constructed for the amount of capital now proposed ; and upon a careful examination of the probable revenue, the Provisional Com mittee are satisfied that it will yield a large return. It is proposed that the Engineer of the Company shall proceed forthwith to Trinidad, accompanied by an adequate number of Sur veyors, for the purpose of surveying the Intended lines ; and that no plan shall be finally adopted until he makes a detailed report.

The great difficulty, delay, and expense attending the transit of passengers and goods from Kingston to Montego Bay and the inter mediate ports, either by sea or land, is well known to all persons conversant with the islan of Jamaica. The average passage by steamer between Montego Bay and King ston, occupies forty-four hours ; and the costs, including expenses on the route, amount to nearly 51. each passenger, while the quickest journey by land occupies three days, and the expenses, including horse hire, reach nearly 201. By the railway the whole line will be traversed in eight hours, at an expense not exceeding an average of 30s. per passenger. The difference in the freights between the northern and southern sides of the island and England is such, that independently of the saving of time, this railway will enable proprietors on the northern side, after payment of the costs of transit, to ship their produce at much less expense than at present, and will afford them the advan tage of shipping at •all times from the very excellent harbour of King ston, instead of being confined, as they now are, to the exposed ports f the east and north of the Island. • The line will commence at a spacious quay, to be constructed at Kingston Harbour, with *depth of water sufficient for vessels of the largest tonnage employed in the export trade of the Island ; at or near to which point it is proposed to form a junction with the King ston and Spanish Town Railway, and proceed thence by or near Rock Fort, Yallahs, Morant Town, Port Morant, Plantain Garden, Man chioneal Harbour, Port Antonio, Buff Bay, Anotto Bay, Port Maria, f t. Ann's, Duncan, Martha Brae, and terminate at or near Montego ay. By these means a line of intercommunication will be formed etween the most important and populous places, and facility offered for carriage of the produce of the most productive portion of the island. Through the southern portion of the line, the physical features are gentle elevations, almost parallel-to the principal range of moun tains, which run east and west, nearly the length of the island ; the eastern portion, from Port Morant to Plantain Garden, is almost level ; while the northern runs through an exceedingly rich country, rising into hills separate from each other by spacious vales. The whole of the country traversed by the line abounds in the stale ar ticles of sugar, coffee, rum, molas ses, g i nger, p pimento, and other spices, dye wood, drugs, &c. ; and as more than one-third of the land is still uncultivated, the production of these articles will, by the increased facility for traffic, be greatly increased ; and cotton, indigo, cocoa, &c., and dry stuffs, at present unimported, will again be brought into extensive cultivation. Timber of great variety abounds along the line ; besides the pimento tree, which flourishes spontaneously, there are mahogany, lignum vita;, ebony, Spa n i sh elm, fine cedar, and other trees of enormous bulk. The line will largely into use the valuable palmettl , and variou s other agricultural and household purposes, aid cabinet w or k s. • - - • 'alvs T o b ib e sri m fno l gr neral wealth of the country on the line is very considerable ; lead ore is extremely rich and heavily impregnated with sibiee - ; whilst every variety of copper ore is found in abundance. Carbonate of lime, valuable as manure, &c., of which Long Mountain is com posed, will form a considerable item in the tables of traffic. The peculiarly favourable circumstances attending the construction of this Railway render it highly probable that a considerable portion of the capital demanded will not be required, as every material* necessary for its formation is to be found on the line, and should the atmospheric principle of propulsion be adopted, the necessity for cut tings and embankments will be generally superseded. A gratuitous grant of the unappropriated land required for the line, and the free use of all the timber, stone, &c., necessary for its con struction, will, it is expected, be ceded by the Legislative Assembly; —the mineral wealth, which may be developed by the construction of the line, will accompany the grants of the land, and may be leased to capitalists r the benefit of the Shareholders. Of the varie as imports, and the internal traffic, a satisfactory esti mate can scs , cely be given —it will be sufficient to state, that Coals, Fish, Lime and Salt, empty Puncheons, Shingles, Bricks, Hoops, Lead, Timber, Provisions, Cattle, Flour, Tobacco, Hardwares, and Manufactures generally, form important sources of profit. The working expenses of the railway will require but a moderate per centage, and from all the circumstances already stated, and care flll into the traffic, there can be no doubt that this line of railway will yield a very remunerative return upon the capital re quired, and the speedy communication established between the island and Great Britain, by means of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, will 'enable the Directors in this country to exercise an efficient control over the management of the affairs of the island. The Committee propose to make provision in the Local Act for the payment of 434 per cent. interest upon the amount paid upon the Shares from the passing of the Bill until the opening of the line. Applications for shares in the usual form may be made to the Provisional Committee, at the offices of the Company, 43, Moorgate-street; to Messrs.
