The formation of a direct line of railway between Hull and rhe metropolis. 2. The supply of local railway accommodation to the important districts embraced by the line. 3. The benefit of railway communication with the metropolis ex tended to a district of country, west of Grantham, upwards of 50 miles in length at present unprovided with that accommodation. 4. The completion of the chain of railway communication between Bristol, Gloucester, the river Severn, and the southern and western counties, and the north-eastern districts of the kingdom and the river Humber, and its ports, including that of Hull. • 5. The connecting of the two important ports of Hull and South ampton by one continuous chain of railways. Commencing at the town of Northampton, in conjunction with the London and Birmingham, the Northampton, Banbury, and Chelten ham, and the other lines of railway proposed to converge at that town from the west, from Worcester and from Warwick, the line will proceed in a direct course to the market town of Kettering, by which place all the companies competing for the line of railway between London and Manchester propose to pass. It will then pro ceed, also, in a direct course by the market towns of Uppingham, Oakham, and Grantham, to Lincoln. The country lying between the towns of Northampton and Gran tham is wholly without existing or even proposed railway accommo dation, not only to the south, but also to the north. From Lincoln the line will proceed byithe shortest and best practi cable course to Hull. The sources of traffic which this line will secure are various and very considerable ; some of them only can be here enumerated. They are, — Starting from Hull the line will appropriate to itself the whole of the traffic thence to the Metropolis, Bristol, Southampton, Glouces ter, Oxford, Cheltenham, and the whole of the Southet n and Western districts of the kingdom, and, in addition, it will secure the very im portant and increasing local traffic between Hull and Lincoln and the intermediate towns. In the event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not obtaining their Act of Parliament, then the traffic from the before mentioned places and Lincoln to the south and west, also to the me tropolis, will pass along this line of railway; the former the whole distance, and the latter in any event to Grantham, a distance of about twenty-five miles ; and should tho London and York Company not succeed, such traffic will proceed further toKettering or Northampton. The entire district between Grantham and Kettering, a distance of more than forty miles, and including the market towns of Oakham and Uppingham, is without railway or water-carriage accommoda tion, and the whole of its traffic therefore will travel over this line of railway, which will be in the direct course not only to the west but also to. London. At Kettering this line will unite with that ene of the now com peting schemes passing that town from Manchester and Leicester to London which shall be successful before Parliament. From the singularly important advantages which this undertaking presents to the capitalist, as well as to the public at large, the Pro visional Directors do not think it necessary, with reference Ito the supposed traffic or otherwise, to say more than that they fully be lieve that the return will be, upon the capital required, highly re munerative. The country is free from engineering difficulties, with one or two exceptions only, and those are more than counterbalanced by the very favourable gradients of by far the greater portion of the line ; indeed, for many miles the line will run upon a water level. The line will not interfere with any ornamental property. The promoters have made every necessary arrangement for the active prosecution of the undertaking, and for applying to Parlia ment in the ensuing session. No call will be made, with the exception of the deposit, till the Act is obtained, and power will be applied for in the Act of Parliament, to allow interest at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum on all calls from the date of their payment, and to limit the liability of each share holder to the amount of his subscription. The landowners on the line are favourable to the undertaking. The promoters reserve power to alter and vary the route, to ex tend the proposed line of railway to Great Srimsby or elsewhere, and to increase the amount of capital, as may be necessary or ad•• visable. Prospectuses and Plans may be obtained on application to any of the several Solicitors or Local Agents, the Secretary, or to the fol lowing Brokers, viz. : —Messrs. Peppercorne and Co., 2, Old Broad street ; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39, Lothbury ; or Messrs.

CONSULTING ENGINEEn— Aevirra ENGINEER—CharIes Edward Bernard, Esq. SECRETARY, pro tem.—W. D. Logic, Esq. The vales of the Ogwr (or Ogmore) Fawr and Ogwr Fach, and of the Garw, lying near and nearly parallel to each other, abound in minerals of the most valuable description, but owing to their secluded situation, and, above all, to the want of a cheap and easy communication with the sea, have been hitherto wholly neglected. In order to supply this deficiency, and to open to the various markets the vast resources which these valleys afford, the above connecting lines of railway have been projected, and by them com munication with the port of Cardiff, Port Talbot, Porthcawl, and every other port in the Bristol Channel, will be effected. The length of the main line will be about 18 miles, and the branches up the three valleys 16, making in the whole about 34 miles. The branches will commence from Blaenogwr, In the vale of Ogwr Fawr, from Blaenogwr, in tkat of the Garw, from Blaenogwr, in the vale of the Ogwr Fach, and will concentrate at Bryn Cethln ; from thence the main line formed by this junction:will pass by Llanharren, and join the South Wales Railway near to the port of Cardiff. The whole district of country threugk which the lines will pass has already been surveyed by highly competent parties, and affords gra f ho m.o. rayon 61 kind N's heavy cutting, cheap execution of the proposed ring% on the spot abundance uf.--krAte nd other materials for the proper execution of the works. The pr oject is supported by powerful local interests, and all the landowners who have yet been consulted have given their sanction and approval. The rising town of Bridgend and its neighbourhood will be greatly benefited by the completion of this undertaking, and a cheap and ready market be afforded for their manufacturing and agricultural produce. It is intended to form a junction with the South Wales Railway near this town. The vales present sites for ironworks; and the establishment of colleries on a large scale will immediately succeed the formation of the road. Twenty-five miles of the line will pass through pro perty abounding in coal, ironstone, blackband, and limestone, all which products have not at present the means of transit to any mar ket whatever. It is confidently anticipated that the investments in this under taking will give a handsome return to the shareholders. No subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of his deposit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his sub scription. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained the affairs of this Company shall be under the control of a Managing Committee, to whom power will be given to allot the shares, and to apply the Rinds of the Company in payment of all the expenses Incurred in its forma tion, and in the preparation of the plans and sections to be submitted to Parliament. Power will be applied for in the Act to raise any additional capi tal, to extend or abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, or enter into any arrangements, by amalgamation or otherwise, with any other Company er Companies ; and power is hereby given to the registered promoters to nominate the Managing Committee of the Company.

The position of the port of Plymouth, its facility of access in all conditions ofweather, and at all hours of day and night, the extent of its anchorage, and_ the security of the harbour, which have long main tained its pre-eminence as a naval station, promise to obtain for it, in the improved state of its land communications, the save distinction as a commercial port. Plymouth, as the terminus of the South Devon Railway, is essen tiallyort in the British Ch anne l, an d b y th e com pletion line, will, i n th e course o f a f ew mon th s, pleti the onof gr th e e a s t o w u e th ste p rn ev be brought within six hours' journey of the metropolis. The distance of the port from Birmingham is somewhat less than from London ; and the Bristol and Exeter Railway, and its extensions eastward and northward, afford a ready communication with the manufacturing districts and o the North n north t Devon Railways, will e ff ec t an immediate h whilst, locally, th e pro j ected Tavistock, con nexionLaun- ceston, with the whole of the North and Central Devon and the ports in the Bristol Channel. The advantage to passengers of embarking at a port from which they can proceed directly to sea in almost any state of wind, and of being landed almost at the entrance of the Channel, can scarcely be over-estimated, and the saving of expense to the shipowner in both cases is at once apparent. A reference to the records at Lloyd's will show the numerous casualties which annually occur to shipping between Plymouth and the Thames, all which would be avoided by adopting Plymouth as the port of loading ordischarging. The efforts now being made, and the amount of capital directed, to effect an accelerated communication between the manufacturing dis tricts of the north and their shipping ports, attest the importance which the manufacturer and the merchant attach to the saving of even a few hours, and of a few miles of distance, in the transit of goods ; and in adopting Plymouth, with its unequalled commercial and maritime facilities, the entire navigation of the English and Irish Channels, with•their well-known detentions and casualties, will be avoided. These considerations are peculiarly important as respects those branches of trade in which the utmost acceleration of the voyage is often essential to the preservation of the cargo, or its advantageous sale. From communications which have been had with commercial houses in London engage 1 in the fruit and the Levant and Mediter ranean trades, it appears certain that a large proportion of their im ports will, on the completion of the South Devon lines, be landed at Plymouth, and conveyed by railway to all parts of England. The military defences of the harbour are now being strengthened by additional fortifications ; and in the event of war, Plymouth would obviously receive an immense influx of shipping of all descrip tions. There are no port charges, and the rates of pilotage and lights are very low, he latter being only 2d. per ton. The port possesses every facility for the most extensive repairs which may be required by shipping. Provisions of every description are cheap, and the mar kets abundantly supplied. From its very advanced position in the Channel, and the extent to which Plymouth possesses all the requirements of a public mail packet station, its large Government establishments, its dockyard and arsenal, and as the station of naval ind military commanders-in chief, it can hardly be doubted that this port will, when the railway communication with Bristol and London is complete, become the resort of the vessels of the great Steam-Packet Companies, conveying the Peninsular, Mediterranean, East and West India, and other colonial mails. The internal growth and development of the population and trade of the port are indicative of a high degree of prosperity. The popu lation of Plymouth has nearly doubled within the last twenty years ; and the increase in the assessable value of property subject to the local rates has exceeded that ratio. New streets and lA:tidings are aea ••••••ry formed, and are in successful operation. The tratle of the port for the year 1841 is given by an official return as follows :—lnwards, 3,339 vessels ; goods, 450,626 tons ; outwards, 2,124 vessels ; goods, 327,815 tons. . The shipping belonging to the port is increasing in numbers and tonnage ; and communication is almost daily going on between Ply mouth and London, Southampton, Portsmouth, Torquay, Dartmouth, Falmouth, the Channel Islands. and France, Cork, Dublin, and Bel fast, by different steam-packet companies. To meet the requirements of a trade and commerce thus advancing, and to secure all the advantages which the port of Plymouth so pecu liarly presents, it is proposed to provide a capacious wet dock, with extensive ranges of wharfage, warehouses, &c., f)r which Millbay, by its position, peculiar formation, and general circumstances, presents extraordinary advantages. Millbay occupies a position perfectly central to the three towns of Plymouth, Devonport, and Stonehouse, and is to immediate proximity to the terminus of the South Devon Railway. Sheltered from the prevailing southerly winds by the Millbay Pier, the Breakwater, and Drake's Island, it incloses an area of upwards of eighty acres, half of which is excellent anchorage in from one to ten fathoms' water, at the lowest state of tide. From the peculiar form and singularly shel tered position of the bay, it constitutes a safe dock, almost in its natural state, and is capable, with works of very moderate extent, of being converted into an extensive floating basin, with every suitable accessary. The entrance lock admits of being formed so as to take in, even at low water of the spring tides, vessels of the largest class, drawing sixteen feet of water; and the depth of water within the basin will be upwards of twenty-two feet. The basin is designed to be upwards of twenty acres in extent ; and outside the basin, but within the shelter of the existing pier, a considerable space will be appropriated to the reception of steamers and other vessels touching at the port, and not requiring to enter the dock. The MiMay branch of the South Devon Rail Way is desi g ned to ex tend along the side s o f th e d oc k, so that the embarkation and landing and removal of age, and with the grea t es t f ac ility. g's"--s, can be conducted witho ut the ex p ense of cart- The property on the shores of the bay Is in the hands of a very limited number of proprietors, and the interference with buildings or Other valuable property, which is ordinarily a source of heavy ex pense in undertakings of this nature, will be very inconsiderable. The considerations already adverted to are sufficient to establish the remunerative character of the undertaking, and these views will derive additional force from considering the identity of interests between a committee formed for the purpose of this undertaking, and the powerful combination of railway interests which have been so successfully engaged in promoting the South Devon line, and to whom the increase of traffic with the port is manifestly of the greatest importance. An Act of Incorporation will be applied for in the ensuing session of Parliament, for which every arrangement is in progress. Powers will be sought by this Act to allow interest at 41. per cent. on the deposit and all paid-up calls until the opening of the dock, and no subscriber will ipeur liability beyond the amount of his subscription.

The length of the proposed line will not exceed twenty-six miles and as it will pass through a country very favourable for engineer ing purposes, the expense of construction will, it is expected, be less than the usual average. The admirable position of this railway can not fail, it is confidently expected, to command a large return, both in passengers and in goods traffic. The Company will be in a situation to deposit the Parliamentary plans and sections in ample time for complying with the standing orders, and enabling them to apply for their Act in the ensuing session.

The proposed railway will commence at Rugby, on the London and Birmingham Railway, the terminus of the Midland Counties and Trent Valley Railways, and the peint to which several other projected railways converge, and will proceed through or near to Leamington, Warwick, Stratford-on-Avon, Evesham, Tewkesbury, and Cheltenham, to Gloucester. The length of the line will b., about 56 miles. The advantages that will result from the construction of this line are numerous and highly important, and such as cannot fail to secure a very large amount of local and through traffic, and a highly-re munerative return upon the capital invested. By means of existing and proposed railways, it will form a complete chain of railway com munication between the whole of the midland and north-eastern counties of England, the populous cities and towns before-named, and the southern and western districts, and thus bring Leicester, Not tingham, Newark, Lincoln, Gainsborough, Great Grimsby, and Hull, Into direct communication with the favourite and fashionable spas of Leamington and Cheltenham, the richly-productive and fhr-famed Vale of Evesham,' and the seaports of Gloucester, Bristol, Plymouth, and Falmouth, and those of South Wales. The inhabitants and visitors of the much-frequented watering places of Leamington and Cheltenham will thus obtain a direct line between those resorts, instead of the present circuitous route through Birmingham, affording that facility of intercommunication which has long been ardently desired ; and it will also afford the utmost fa cility of access to the innumerable visitors who, attracted as well by the beauty of the scenery as the memory of Shakspeare, annually res n't to Stratford-on-Avon. To those passengers from the east and north-east, direct to Gloucester, the line from Tewkesbury, cutting off the angle of the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway to Cheltenham, will afford a great accommodation, and a saving in distance of at least eight miles, besides the delay of the stoppage at Cheltenham. kt Tewkesbury it will also form a junction with the proposed line from that place to Malvern, affording the most direct communication to the numerous visitors to the magnificent scenery and invigorating atmosphere of the celebrated Malvern-hills. To the inhabitants of the ancient and populous borough of Tewkes bury this portion of the proposed line will prove immensely advan tageous ; situated within ten miles of the important city and port of Gloucester, they have nevertheless to travel by the present railway route nearly twice that distance, an Inconvenience which has already materially affected the trade, and prejudiced the interests of the town. The proposed line, running close to the town, will remove this great incon . enience, and restore its trade to its former state of prosperity. vr-lun ref fhie line Valle city mil port of_Gloaceiter_oannot sources of traffic from the whole of the eastern and north-eastern counties, but will very materially lessen the distance between it and Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire, making Gloucester still more securely the nearest and most accessible outlet for the whole of that immensely productive manufacturing region, and it is impossible to conceive any project better calculated to advance the interests of Gloucester, than one capable of effecting that object. Ths line will also form an important junction between the London and Birmingham and Midlands Railways, and the Bristol and Gloucester Railway, and constitute the highway for the traffic of the former, and of all the north-eastern railways. to the proposed Man chester and Southampton Railway at Cheltenham ; and the through traffic from the latter source alone is expected to be very great. It will thus have the effect of connecting the ports of the eastern and north-eastern with those of the western and southern coasts ; of affording the most direct and convenient access from the north and east to the vast mineral regions of South Wales, and of opening new markets for the rich products of the fertile valleys of the Avon and Severs, and the agricultural districts of Warwickshire and Wor cestershire, in the manufacturing towns and ports of the north. • ihe line will be easy of construction, traversing, as it does, through nearly its whole length, the valleys of the Avon and Severn. The towns through which it will run are very populous, and the country of the richest description ; and the local traffic will consequently be very great in addition to the through traffic, which on such a line must necessarily be very extensive. The Provisional Couimittee reterve to themselves the pcwer to amalgamate with any other company as to the whole or any part of the line, and to vary or extend the line, and to increase or diminish the capital accordingly, if deemed expedient. The capital proposed to be raised is 1,000,0001., in shares of 201., each. upon which a deposit of 21. 2s. per share must be paid upon allotment. The liability of the subscribers will bo limited by the Act to the amount of their respective subscriptions to the capital stock. and power will be applied for in the Act to allow interest at the rate of 41. per cent.per annum on the amount of the deposit, and upon the re spective calls, from the data of each payment until the opening of the line. The Subscribers' Agreement and the Parliamentary Contract will be required to be duly executed when the bankers' receipts arc ex• changed for certificates of scrip, of which due notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by persona making default in due execution of the Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract within the time to be limited by such notice, will be absolutely forfeited. Forms of application for shares, prospectuses, and a map of the line, may be obtained from the Solicitors, or the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, 28, Essex-street, Strand, London, or from any of the undermentioned Sharebrokers; but no application will be attended to unless accompanied by a reference to one of the Provi sional Committee, the Solicitors, or a Banker:— London—Mr. A.
