This line will commence at the terminus of the Manchester and Birmingham Railway at Macclesfield, and passing by the Rudyard reservoir to Leek, will proceed by the Churnet Valley to Conseil, thence close to Cheadle, and Teen, and by Uttoxeter, Begets Woods and Abbots Bromley down the Blythe, to a point on the Trent Valley Railway, near Lichfield, communicating there with one of the pro posed lines from Dudley and Walsall. A glance at the map will show that this will 'be the most direst line for the London and Manchester traffic; uniting those two great termini by the shortest practicable route in connexion with existing railways. It will also completely accommodate the local traffic and manufactures, and open several extensive coal fields and some thou. sand acres of wood land fir the supply of Manchester, the Potteries, and other great marts of the kingdom. Together, too, with the pro posed line from Derby to Crewe, it will Afford a transit from the Eastern Counties and Derby to Manchester, and give every accom modation to the Potteries. This line is, in its principal features, much the same asthat already approved of by the Board of Trade, and partially abandoned by the Churnet Valley Company—will be scarcely 47 miles in length, and passing through the centre of the district, does not interfere with the ' Grand Junction, or any other existing railway; It is material to re mark, that it is even more direct than the Churnet Valley as formerly projected to Tamworth, and is free from the formidable opposition of the landed interest, and the engineering difficulties consequent on the route,by Rocester and Marchington. It must be observed also that it is the only railway which has been brought forward by, and is under the control of, the landowners and manufacturers of the.Churnet and Blythe Valley districts. The co-operation of most of the principal landowners, from near Uttoxeter to near Lichfield, having been obtained, and there being no competing lines projected through that district, this portion of the - line may be considered as secure.

DIRECT EAST AND WEST JUNCTION RAILWAY, COMMENCING AT KIDDERMINSTER AND ENDING AT Iron ore, barytes, and carboniferous and magnesian limestone on the route, in addition to forming a direct, speedy, and cheap communica tion between the important towns above Mentioned. Arrangements have been made with other Companies to run into this line from Sheffield. This company reserves the right to raise additional capital to atend the line to Leeds. Many of the above-mentioned mineral productions are essential to the mining districts of South Staffordshire and Sheffield. The North Staffordshire and lierbYshire Limestone is much superior to that of South Staffordshire in the fluxion of iron (15 cwt. of the former being equal to a ton of the tatter), and producing a better quality of ma terial. At present, thernode of transit is very circuitous and expen sive, the line from the Caldou Mines having to go by canal round by Etruria, Leek, and the Potteries, to the Dudley and surrounding furnaces, when, by this railway, it would be taken in a straight line to them; and the Ashbourne, Cromford, Worksworth, and Bakewell country would have an entirely new trade opened to them. The ironstone in the neighbourhood of Sheffield Is also becoming very scarce, and great quantities are introduced from Scotland; the same scarcity exists in South Staffordshire; and the route of this line would furnish a geed supply, at present not worked, and without a market, both north and south. In addition to these great advan tages, a good local market would be opened along.the agricultural and other parts of the district at present very badly supplied with lime and coal, and that of an inferior quality, and by expensive car riage. It is, therefore, next to impossible to calculate the immense traffic which would pour, down this lino and the Derbyshire, Stafford shire, and Worcestershire Junction Railway. The calculations which have been made show a very large profit. There arc large lead and slate quarries on the line which only want an outlet like the one now contemplated to bring them into full work. The coal is of a superior quality. • There arc also extensive barytes and paint-works at Ashbourne, Cromford, and other places on the line. The scenery of Derbyshire is the resort of vast numbers of tourists ; and pirticular care will be taken, in passing of the line near Dovedale, not to interfere with or change its .beautiful and- romantic. character. The convenience, therefore, which this line will afford must necessarily cause a great influx of passengers, both,on business and pleasure. The gypsum formation runs from Staffordshire to the Humber, and the demand for this article for building; agricultural, and manufac turing purposes along this line will Ni mat: • The timber from the neighbourhood of_the Needwood Forest, Banks, liagots Woods, and Kingston Woods, upwards of 4,000 ' acres chiefly finds its way to it's: -- Manehestet''market by a like oltjectionahle route 6f tardy — and eircnitous — ratial convey ance ; whereas this line would open a direct. easy, and cheap communication to new markets. The line has Seen viewed prior to ti detailed survey, and there are not more than ordinary engineering difficulties. 111 consequence of the late Parliamentary decisions, it is intended to make this line on the broad gauge principle, but the pro moters do not pledge themselves absolutely to do so.

Sir John Rennie G. Remington, Esq., C.S. The line of Railway proposed between Uttoxeter and Dudley has been undertaken at the suggestion of several influential parties, as combining (without being a competing line with any railway at pre sent made) all the advantages of several projected lines, with addi tions of no ordinary value. The town of Uttoxeter, in the Dove Val ley, is itself the centre of a rich agricultural district, supplying al ready the markets of Dudley, Tipton, Walsall, Bilston, and Wednes bury, with cheese, cattle, and agricultural produce, but by a very expensive and dilatory mode of transit. All the proposed lines communicating with Manchester, London, and the Potteries, must necessarily pass to or near Uttoxeter. Already the Char net Valley, Derby and Stafford, Derby and Crewe, Tean, and Dove Valley, North Staffordshire, Manchester Direct Inde pendent, Leicester and Ashby lines of railway, project a station at Uttoxeter. Assuming either of these former, or some equivalent, to pass this will he the best route from Manchester, Macclesfield, the Potteries, Hull, Sheffield, and the north to the mineral districts of South Staffordshire, and to Kidderminster, Worcester, and South Wales. 'By the Leicester and Ashby line, which will communicate by its branch to Uttoxeter, traffic of great part of the east of England will be available for Staffordshire and the west. Commencing at Uttoxeter, the line will be carried over favourable ground to Abbott's Bromley, thence to Rugeley, where it will fall into the Trent Valley Railway Station, by Channock Chase, along the Rising Brok Valley, to Ilednesford, and thence by Walsall across the Grand Junction Railway, through Wednesbury and the mineral districts of South Staffordshire to Dudley ; there it will join all those railways that will connect the Staffordshire coal field with Worcester, Ludlow, and l'orthdynllaen on the south-west, Aberystwtth, Merthyr Tydyll, Swansea, Hereford, on the west and south. In fact, it will unite by the nearest route the east and west of England, The line will fall into and cross the Trent Valley, Midlands, and Grand Junction Railway at Walsall, and from Cannock afford direct communication with Wolverhampton .(where it will run into the broad gauge railway) fi-om Leeds, and Huddersfield, and the north and cast of England. The Npulation on the line exceeds 500,500, and the ordinary traffic arising from internal sources alone is sufficient to maintain the rail way, and afford snore than entitle remuneration to the shareholders. As a junction line (with the present immensely increasing public favonr to railway travelling) it is scarcely possible to compute the amount•of passenger traffic, but it must necessarily be very great. Since this line was registered, a company has been formed for ex tending it by a junction at Uttoxeter, to Huddersfield, Leeds, and Sheffield, by way of Ashbourn, and by this means immense mines of lead, iron, stone, and coal of Derbyshire, the products of the paint tnanufactories and barytes works at Aslthourne, Cromford, Stc., will be opened, and with those already in work, find a ready transit to Walsall and Birmingham, Dudley, and Wolverhampton. The in crease of passengers, attracted by ready means of conveyance to the romantic country of Dovedale, and the High Peak, will be necessarily very great. The copper ore, lime, and coal, abounding in the Caldon and the Ribden mines, will be transmitted by this line to the manufacturing districts of Staffordshire, Warwickshire, and South Wales, and it will afford a direct communication between Leeds, Huddersfield, and Southampton, and it will also be the nearest route to Southampton front Manchester, via Uttoxeter, by the London and Manchester Direct Independent Line, or whatever railway should ultimately pass between Manchester and London, as forming the shortest route to the metropolis, a line which, it is now admitted on all hands, must be carried. This Company reserves the right to raise additional capital to com plete the line tYom Dudley to or near the Droitwich station, on the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway.

This important line of railway is forty-two miles in:length ; will commence at the railway station of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wol verhampton Railway at Kidderminster, and will proceed from thence by way of Tenbury and Leominster to Hereford, where it will join the Hereford and Monmouth, and all the other lines of railway which converge from Hereford, and rtm into the West of England, and the mmensely populous coal, iron; and copper districts of South Waleir, and the important districts of Central Wales. The intended railway will, by means of its connexion with the Derbyshire, Worcestershire, and Staffordshire Junction, and that portion of the Oxford, Worcester, and. Wolverhampton which runs from Dudley to Kidderminster, complete the great chain of railway communication between the clothing districts of Yorkshire, the coal and iron ore districts of Derbyshire and Staffordshire, and the large mineral districts of South Wales. At Tenbury it will form a junc tion with the Worcester (and Porthdynllaen intended railway, and will be the only means of enabling Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Wednesbury, Walsall, Coventry, Dudley, Stourbridge, and the other surrounding towns to avail themselves of the great outlet from Eng land to Ireland by means of Porthdynllaen, the future outport for Ireland. It will likewise form the nearest route to the north of England, Manchester, and Liverpool from South Wales, and be a direct line from the centre of Wales into the Midland Counties. Thus the coals and other minerals, and the exclusive and constantly increasing iron works of Staffordshire, Worcestershire, and Derbyshire, the manu factures of Lancashire and Yorkshire, the saltworks of Cheshire and Worcestershire, and the agricultural produce of Wales, Hereford shire, South Shropshire, will have's direct aud cheap transit. This railway is essential to complete the direct East and Weet traffic. The traffic of the Fopulous districts embraced by the under taking will afford sufficient remuneration to the Shareholders, and a vast augmentation of revenue which will arise from the through traf fic, will make the stock of the Company produce nine per cent. So conrinced•was an important Railway Company of the great traffic which would run upon this line, that they bought up the pro moters of a similar undertaking at a considerable expense. The line is free from engineering difficulties, and gradients highly favourable. The Directors reserve the power of adopting the atm- - 'perk principle and wide gauge, if approved of. The preference will be given in the allotment of Shares to persons locally interested In the line, and no Shares will be appropriated except to persons who shall give satisfactory references.

The whole of the traffic upon the South Wales line passing to the Eastward of Chepstow will be carried on this line ; added to which the coal and mineral traffic from the Forest of Dean (which, from the Eastern aide to Gloucester, has been estimated upon authentic documents and information, at upwards of 300,000 tons ; and from the Western or Lydney and Chepstow side the same amount of traffic may safely be calculated upon), amounting to 600,000 tons per an num (the produce of the Forest alone), must be carried upon the line, Independent of the local passenger traffic and an extended trade in the produce of the Forest, which will necessariiy follow the facilities 'offered by the proposed railroad. The revenue from this source alone will give a very handsome di vidend un the capital to be iis expected will not exceed three - forrths of the intended capital. It is proposed to make branches to th Collieries and Iron Works in the Forest, to the present or any new Ports which may suggest themselves on the Severn ; and to make the River Wye, at Chep stow the port of foreign export, where vessels of any size can enter free from the dangers and difficu rocks andes attendant upon ing thends navi in gation that of the Severn, consequent upon the shift sa river. It is intended to build a bridge across the Severn at GlOucester, which in no way obstruct the navigation ; and the proposed Gloucester an d Aberystwith Col pany will no doubt be ready to join th's Company in the expense, if they obtain their Act. The cost of the intended line from Chepstow to Gloucester, including the bridge at Gloucester, and the one over the River Wye, at Chepstow, to join the South Wales, with branches to the Collieries, Iron Works, and the Severn, is not expected to exceed 450,0001., but it is intended to provide a carital of 600,0 . 001. to meet any contingencies which may arise. A reference to the map will show the self-evident importance of this line as essential to the perfecting the great project of MI South Wales Railway Company (who have obtained their Act of Parlia ment for a railroad from Fishguard and Milford Haven to Chepsto, atw) n connecting it with the p rinci p al railwa y s of the kin g do N Gloucester, and making it the direct road to London, via Cheltenham and Oxford, for effecting which projects are now before the public with most influential support. The line is twenty-six miles in length, has mrongineering difficulties; the gradients and curves are extremely good, and works light. It may with very great confidence be asserted, that there Is scarcely a short line of railroad in the kingdom which offers greater advantages to the Shareholders than the present.- Pros vls'on will be made in the Act of Parliament which will be applied for in the next Session to limit the liability of the Shareholder to the amount 'of his Shares, and to allow four per cent. on the calls.

Capital 250,0001., in 10,000 Shares of 251. each. Deposit 21. 10s. per Share. In consequence of the numerous representations made to this Com pany of the necessity and advantage of forming a branch line from Salisbury to Poole, t h r ough Wimb orne, the Committee, into ouplitanco with the wishes thus exprcssed, have determined to carry this important object. The line will commence at Salisbury, and passing near Downton and by Fordingbridge, will proceed on to Wimborne Minster, and there lete joining direct the com Southampmunication ton and Dorchester Railway, will com p the to Poole. A survey of the country has been made, and the Committee are enabled to state that the report of the engineers is highly satisfactory, The minute and careful estimates of the traffic which have al ready been made, show a very large return on the amount of capital • necessary for the undertaking ; and as the line will be constructed and worked under the management of the Committee of this Com pany, a material saving in the ordinary expenses will be effected. The capital to be raised for this purpose will be 2i0,0001., which will be divided into 10,0(0 skates of 251. each.

L. CROWIE, Secretary, The promoters of this Railway, encouraged by the favourable sup port which has been given to the project, and in compliance with various recommendations they have received, hare determined upon the addition of a branch to Ilirkenileaci. which, although it will manifestly tend to the advantage of the Shareholders and the public, will be attended with coini dratively little additional outlay. The project will still retain its chief characteristic of a direct railway, and by its connexion, near Warriegton, with the Grand Junction Company, is sufficiently comprehensive, without resorting to a com plicated system of branch lines, or materially couffictirg with the in terests of existing companies. . The line will commence at the city of Chester, and proCeed by way of Trafford, Frodsham, and Preston Brook, to Warrington, thence by Lyinm and Stretford direct to Manchester. From a point on the main line, near Frodsbam, a branch will be taken to join the Chester and Birkenhead Railway, so as to unite Manchester in the most direct manner possible, with the docks now being formed at lilr kenhead. As Manchester, from its geographical position, is the centre of rail way communication between Seotiand and the most populous Me naces of England, so Chester, Item a like cause, is the great centre of railway comtnunicattion between the capitals of Ireland and of Eng land. To connect these two points by a direct and independent line of railway must, therefore, be of the utmost importance, not only in a local point of view, but to the whole commercial intercourse of the country. This line will he the most direct route, by Holyhead, to Ireland, and will be, in all respects, by far the preferable channel of inter course and transit between Ireland and the great manufacturing dis tricts of England. fly the railways connecting Chester with Wrex ham, Oswestry, Shrewsbury, Hereford, Gloucester, and South Wales, this will be the nearest route from Manchester to the south western parts of England,• and to the minerals of Monmouth and Glamorganshire The communication with Bristol, Gloucester, and Exeter will be speedy and direct. On reference to the map, it will be seen that a very considerable distance will be saved by this line, as compared with the present circuitous routes by Crewe and by Birkenhead; the former being 52 miles, and the latter 46 while the proposed Hue is only 34 miles, saving in the one case IS miles, and in the other 12 miles, besides the serious inconvenience, loss of time, and expense of passing through Liverpool, and crossing the water at that place. It is confidently expected that this line will be the precursor of another scheme, of no ordinary importance—namely, to render 'heater an efficient port for large vessels. This subject was entertained by Sir John Rennie in 1835, and sub sequently, in the same year, by the late Mr. Chapman, who wrote an able report upon the capabilities of the river Dee. It was again nvestigated, in 1837, by Sir John Rennie and Mr. George Remington, and the practicability of forming a good navigable channel for vessels of largo burden, together with docks at Chester, was then fully and clearly established. The entrance channel would commence at Dawpool. which is easy Of access (and infinitely preferab e, in point of access and safety, to the docks at Liverpool or Birkenhead), for vessels of large burden, during eight hours every tide, both at springs and neaps ; and the alit - of the lock would be sufficiently low to admit vessels drawing 20 feet water to enter at all tides. This railway, therefore, in connexion with the proposed docks, will render to Chester and Manchester incalculable advantages. To the former it will restore the proper position natural to so important a city ; to the latter it will give another outlet, by sea, to the ma nufacturing districts, free of the heavy port charges, dues, and risks to which the produce is now subject. It has not been thought advisable to combine the two objects in one company at present, but should it be found requisite, the two may hereafter be amaiga . mated. Merits of no ordinary degree, therefore, may fairly be claimed for this railway, whether taken in connexion with the proposed docks, eras standing alone, combining as it does all the advantages of ally other linei, pith this great addition, that it will be the high road to the most convenient outport of Manchester, and will be quite inde pendent of any associations or influences that might tend to oppose the growing desire for a means of direct and independent communi cation between Manchester and the port of Chester. The line has been carefully examined , There arc no difficult earth-works to be encountered ; ou the contrary it will he cheap, and of easy formation. Power is reserved to the Committee to de viate from the proposed line in the vicinity of Manchester, Should ulterior arrangemeuts render it expedient.
