Brook and Freeman The object of this undertaking is to form a continuous line of rail way from Leeds to Liverpool, by extending the lines already made, or sanctioned by Parliament, from their respective termini at Hud dersfield, in Yorkshire, and Bury, for which extension a line of rail way only 25 miles in length is requisite. The proposed line will com mence at the Huddersfield station, between which place and Leeds. Parliament has already sanctioned the formation of railways, and from Huddersfield the proposed line will proceed by way of Hillhouse' Eirchencliffe, and Lindley, and thence along the valley between Stainland and Greet'and, through Bark'sland, the Vale of Ripponden, and by Rochdale to Bury, in Lancashire, where it will join the ter minus of the Liverpool and Bury line of railway. In addition to completing a direct communication from Liverpool to Leeds, Hull, and Goole, by the shortest practicable route, and by a much smeller outlay of capital, than by any other proposed line, it will provide for a large and important manufacturing population, hitherto without the advantage of railway accommodation, an outlet to the south by means of the Huddersfield and Sheffield Junction Railway, and to Manchester and to North and South Lancashire by the railways above mentioned, and by the Leeds and Manchester Railway, by a proposed junction therewith at Rochdale. This line, when completed, will, in addition to the advantages which it presents as a through line, pass through a succession of val leys thickly studded with mills and manufactories, consuming a large quantity of raw materials and coal, all of which are brought irons a distance, and transmitting to other districts the prodnce of their industry, for which purposes a line of railway has become ab solutely necessary, and there can be no doubt that an ample return will be realised for the outlay of capital required. The distance between Huddersfield and Rochdale by the present line of railway is thirty miles, which by the proposed railway will be reduced to seventeen miles. The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the right of enter ing into any arrangements with existing railway companies that may appear desirable. And power will be taken by the Act of Parliament to allow interest to the shareholders at the rate of 41. per cont. per annum on the amounts paid on their shares from the respective times of payment to the times of opening the railway. Applications for shares may be addressed, in the subjoined form, to any of the undermentioned Rharebrokers, viz.—Messrs. Hill, Fawcett and Hill, Threadneedle-street, London ; Mr. David Kinnear, Edin burgh ; Messrs. W. Moore and Co., Messrs. J. Gatllff and Co., Messrs.

Commencing at Lancaster, it will proceed up the valley of the Lune, by Kirkby Lonsdale, Sedbergh, and Kirkby Stephen. and thence by the most practicable line to New castle. It will run nearly parallel with the *id coach road, which has hitherto been the principal passenger route from Lancaster to Newcastle. It will readily be conceded that great benefits will flow from a direct railway communication between the coal-fields and mining districts of Durham and Northumberland, and the important towns and ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood, Newcastle, Raft Lancaster. The entire lengtO. of the line is rich in mineral productions—coal, slate, limestone, ma.-ble, and ether elements of a great local traffic abound, and cannot to make this one of the most remunerative projects of the day. A considerable saving of distance between the important towns on the termini is effected over any existing or pro jectedscheme. It will be reserved to the Committee of Management to make such alterations in the line, or the a mount of capital required, or other wise, as may be deemed most advantageous to the interests c. itbe Company. Power will be app . :led for to allow interest at the rate of four per cent. on the calls from the passing of the Act to the opening of the line, as well as to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscriptiOns only.

The first object of this line is to connect the town of Ilinningham Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route and to supply am important link of communication between the town of Spalding and the eastern coast, and the western and midland districts. Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereham, Lynn, and Bolbeack Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn, Witham, Castle Bytham, South Wytham, and Wymondham, to a point on the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near Melton- Mowbray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mld• land Counties Railway, an almost direct route to Leicester, and thence to Coventry and Birmingham by the proposed Coventry, Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway. The projected line will fonn the most direct communication be tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, aid will, by means of the proposed lines across the county of Leicester, via Bur ton-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincoln, Norfolk, Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by many miles than any other line of railway. It will form, with other projected railways, an almost direct line across the kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, on the east, to Aberystwith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the west. The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. There is no tunnel ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary; the line from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve miles, is very ' level, and may be constructed at a small cost. It will secure the advantages of railway commanication to a tract of country at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open ing out sources of trade undeveloped for want of the means of transit. The central midland districts have felt greatly the want of direct communication with the coast; and this line will at once supply the deficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire. It will afford a transit for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei cesterehire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon supply from the north at high prices: it will also secure the advan tages of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershire works, to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, which are at present only supplied at very high rates; and, in return traffic, the midland dis tricts will obtain the advantage of a direct transit An' the stock and agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk. Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which Is the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, and connected by the River Welland with the German Ocean. The proposed capital will be sufficient for the construction of the necessary works and every subsequent expense ; and the income derivable from the traffic in passengers between Birmingham, Co ventry, Leicester, Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Boston, the trans port of corn, cattle, and other produce of the great agricultural districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland districts, will he sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay. The Parliamentary surveys have been commenced, and are now In active progress, and contracts have been metered into which en sure sufficient time for compliance with the standing orders. Forms of application for shares, plans, and prospectuses may be had of the Solicitors ; also at the offices of the Company, 4, Tra falgar-square, Charing-cross, where applications for shares, accom panied by respectable references, may be addressed to the Provi sional Committee.

Offices, 163, Fenchurch-street, London. This line has been projected for the purpose of forming the most direct communication between Birmingham and the Midland Coun ties, and the important and rising port of Aberystwith and the sea coast of Wales. It is intended to commence at the junction of the Welch Midland and Stour Valley Railways (both of which have projected limes to Birmingham), between Kidderminster and Bewdley, and proceed from thence through Cleobnry Mortimer to Ludlow, where it will form • junction with the Worcester and Portdyallaen and Bridgnorth, Ludlow, and Wolverhampton Railways. From adlow it will follow the line of the present mail road, along the Valley of the Teme to Knighton, from which place it is intended to throw off a branch to the Craven Arms, to run into the Shropshire Mineral Railway, which has its terminus at that place. The line twill proceed from Knighton to Llanidloes, where it will join the projected Manchester and Aberystwith Railway, and proceed along that line for the re mainder of the distance. The use of all projected lines being thus sought for, the part to be made will not exceed sixty miles ; and as surveyors are already upon the line, the plans, &e., will all be ready to go to Parliament in the ensuing session. The advantages of the present line over any other projected rail way between Birmingham and Aberystwith are :—That it is the most direct route between the respective termini; that it passes through a district at present unprovided with railway accommoda tion ; that by it and the Birmingham, Stamford, and Boston lines, a regular chain of railway communication is opened between St. George's Channel and the German Ocean; and by the Great Eastern and Western line a communication is also opened with Yarmouth, Norwich, and King's Lynn ; that it will open the slate mines of Cardiganshire, and the limestone of Radnorshire to Shrop shire, and the whole of the midland counties ; while, on the ether hand , by the branch from the Craven Arms, the coals of Shropshire will be brought into Radnorshire, Montgomeryshire, and Cardigan shire, where that article does not exist, at little more than ens-third of its present cost. From these and other sources of traffic it must be obvious that a high rate of interest upon the capital embarked may be depended upon. The line throughout the whole distance meets with the most influ ential local support, so as to ensure its complete success. There are no engineering difficulties of any magnitude, and no ornamental property will be invaded. Should the atmospheric pinci ple be fully tested and be found to answer, it will be adopted on this line. The responsibility of the shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions, and power,,will be taken in the Act to allow in terest at four per cent. on the calls. The Committee reserve the usual power to amalgamate with any other existing Company or Companies, to limit or vary the line, as to them shall seem most expedient, in order to carry out the objects of the Company, Prospectuses, with maps and forms of application for shares, may be had from the Secretary, at the Office of the Company, 163, Yen_ church-street ; from the Solicitors and Local Agents ; and also from the following Brokers, viz. :.—Messrs.

The promoters confidently believe that the atmospheric system of Mons. Hallette is the most perfect and economical that has been in vented for propulsion en railways and canals, and in this opinion they are supported by that of many eminent men of science and ex perienced engineers. By the arrangement entered into with the inventor, the deposit will be more than will be required. until a contract to use the patent on a railway has been actually signed, and under any cir cumstances it is believed that 41. per share will be ample to carry out fully the objects of the Company. The risk, therefore, will be small, whilst the profit by sale of licenses, &c., in the event of the superiority of the invention being acknowledged, must be immense.

The Belgian Grand Junction Railway will commence at the several points of Tirlemont and Landen towards the north, and Huy, Namur, Gosselies, and Chatelineau (Charleroi) on the south, and will directly connect the provinces of Brabant, Hainault, Liege, Limburg, and Namur with each other, and the Government lines of railway, as also with the several lines of Liege and Namur, Landen and Hassell, Louvain and Jemeppe, Sambre and Meuse, and by the Great Luxem bourg. The provincei which the railway will unite were found by the census of 1844 to comprise a population of 2,188,551, and the dis tricts which it will traverse are situated in the heart of Belgium, and corn prise an area of 165 square miles. The entire length of the Bel gian Grand Junction Railway will be 102 English miles, and the in variable rule of the Belgian Government not to permit any competing lines, must necessarily ensure to this Company the entire traffic of the country through which this line will pass. This portion of the country is emphatically termed the Granary of Belgium, and, in addition to its vast agricultural produce, is rich in ironstone, lead, marble, stone, and slate quarries. It has also nume rous distilleries, extensive breweries, ironworks, and large manufac tories of porcelain, glass, paper, beetroot sugar, gunpowder, &.c. The great coal-fields of Charleroi and Liege, which are the most ex tensive in Belgium, will, by means of this line, be enabled to supply all parts of the kingdom at a very reduced rate. A considerable saving will be effected in the cost of iron, and of the locomotive engines and traffic material, which will be manufac tured at the Couvin works ceded to this Company.

Spring-gardens The attention of the public and of the civic authorities of this great metropolis, through the powerful medium of the public press, has upon several occasions been excited by the detail of numerous and almost daily occurring accidents on the river Thames. With a view to abate, if not altogether remove an evil of enormously grow ing magnitude, the dangerous navigation of the river, the present project is put before the public. Although the chief cause of this danger is acknowledged to be the blocking up the navigation, by the numberless tiers of colliers and their attendant barges, and their ingress and egress to and from their station, still no efficient remedy has been hitherto proposed. It is admitted by all that the only mode by which this great and dangerous nuisance can be removed is by a dock, at a considerable distance from the Pool, and a suitable and most convenient site has been selected, in every way adapted for the object contemplated ; and which not only combines facilities, in no ordinary degree, for coal and coasting vessels to enter at all times of the tide, at a dis tance far removed from the Pool (about three miles below Woolwich), but also at a locality, by the aid of a railway, from which the various produce may be transmitted within half an hour into the very heart of the City. It is proposed to construct a dock at a point in that part of the river, four and half miles below Blackwell, called Gallion's Reach, and thence to carry a railway four miles long through East Ham. Plaistow, and West Ham, to the Eastern Counties Railway at Strat ford, where it will join the Northern and Eastern Railway, and form a central point from which goods may be transmitted to the various parts of the country which those railways traverse, and to London. The spot at which the dock and works will be constructed has been selected as being a part of the river where at the lowest state of the tide there will always be a sufficiency of water to permit the ingress and egress of vessels, as a reference to the Admiralty charts will de monstrate ; by this arrangement they will be enabled to discharge their cargoes, leave dock, and take in ballast (which is in the imme diate vicinity where the Trinity House dredge is generally working), almost before they could have even reached their ordinary station in the Pool, as at present. The great saving in time thus effected, it is manifest, will be of the utmost consequence and advantage to the Owners of these vessels ; and by materially decreasing the cost, would enable them to supply the consumer at 0. much less rate than at present. It is intended also to erect a sea-wall and wharf, 1,500 feet long for the accommodation of passengers by steam-packets and other vessels passing to and fro. The economy of time thus effected will be very considerable; for by the aid of this railway (bringing Shore ditch and the intended terminus at Finsbury within twenty minutes) nearly three-quarters of an hour ,will be saved over every other mode of conveyance. It is moreover to be remarked that from this spot Gravesend can be reached in forty minutes, consequently the time consumed, from Finsbury to Gravesend by this route, would be about one hour. As the Eastern Counties Railway will be united to all the other great trunk lines, by means of the northern and southern connecting line just projected, it may be justly said that the Steam-Packet Wharf now proposed will be the only metropolitan Continental ter minus. By the construction of this railway, with its very important ad junct, a coal and coasting dock, a most valuable addition will be made to the Eastern Counties revenue by calling into existence a traffic which, tinder any other circumstances, could not be created; thereby developing to the proprietors of that extensive line that its capabilities have hitherto lain dormant, and only required the neces sary extension to the Thames with a dock to secure to it a national depot for produce for all parts of the globe to be disseminated through the numerous and increasing extensions of the parent line. The carriage of coal alone would add no insignificant sum to the hitherto declared dividends of the Eastern Counties, when it is con sidered that more than two and a half millions of tons are annualy imported into the port of London, which amount would be greatly increased by means of the facility pf railway transmission thus afforded. It may be proper to remark that it would be difficult to find, so near the metropolis, a four miles course in every sense so eligible for a railway, so free from obstruction, and so cheap of construction, that the coal traffic of itself would yield an ample return for the outlay.

The port of Boston affords the readiest outlet for exports from the manufacturing districts to the north of Europe, and the importance of direct communication from the midland counties to a place so ad vantageously situate cannot be over-estimated. Leicester has, or shortly will have, direct communication with Birmingham, and all the other important towns in ties midland district. The Midland Railway Company is extending the communication to Melton Mowbray, by means of its branch from Syston to Peter borough, which gasses through that place. There is also a complete line of railway about to be established from Nottingham, through Grantham and Folkingham, to Boston, as well as to Bpalding, Wis beach, Lynn, Yarmouth, and other important towns in the eastent counties. The Leicester, Melton Mowbray, and Boston Direct Union nadi r way, by forming a line frein Melton Mowbray to Folkingham, will supply the only link wanting to complete a direct through communi cation from Birmingham, Warwick, Worcerer, Coventry, and the manufacturing districts generally, to Boston, as well as by means of existing and projected railways from Wales and the Bristol Channel, to that seaport. The leng , h 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 couplying with the standing orders, and enabling them to apply for their Act in the ensuing session. . .
