W. Morris, Esq., Grovehurst, Fembury,l Messrs. Strahan and Co. r and Messrs. Robarts and Co., London. Messrs. Stuckey and Co., Bristol, Bridgwater, and Taunton. One of the principal objects this Company has in view, is a great saving of time in th e j ourney from Ireland and South' Wales to Bristol and London, by avoiding the tedious and dangerous passage of the Bristol Channel, and at the same time effecting the long sought-for communication between the English and Bristol Channels, all of which will be gained by connecting Minehead with Bridge water by a Railway, and there forming a junction with the railways already opened, and also with those now in actual progress between Bridgwater and the commodious and important port of Poole. The question of an eligible steam-packet and post-office station on the Somersetshire coast for Ireland, Wales, and the Westward gene rally, from whence vessels may arrive and depart at all times, with out reference to tide, has for many years past been regarded as one of immense importance to the Government and the public. By making Minehead a post-office station, a saving of twelve hours will be effected in the delivery of letters between Ireland and the whole of the west and south of England ; and no other port on the coast of Somerset (or even on the north of Devon) will be so safe, and sheltered from all the prevailing winds. At Minehead, the proposed railway will run down on a pier, which the largest class steamers may approach, and land and embark pas sengers at all states of the tide, and again proceed at once into the Western Ocean on their outward voyage. The public is perhaps hardly aware that, even with the present , imperfect and rude arrangements for landing passengers at Weston ' Super-Mare, it is found that passengers from Ireland and the impor tant ports of the south of Wales save several hours by landing at that place ; whereas, by the proposed pier and railway from Minehead, passengers would save generally twelve hours, and very often a great deal more, on their journey to London, avoiding, besides . , the dangers of the Bristol Channel. It is not among the least striking features of this project that it forms part of a grand scheme for shortening the communication between Ireland and Wales with Jersey, Guernsey, Paris, and the Continent generally, as passengers landed at Minehead will proceed by this railway to others now in progress via Yeovil and Dorchester to Poole, from which port the distance to Cherbourg is only sixty miles, thus rendering the distance from Minehead to Cherbourg easily performed in eight hours and a half;. and from Cherbourg a railway is now in course of formation to Paris. The distance also to the Channel Islands is reduced in the same proportion. A powerful com pany, fully alive to the advantages of this mode of transit in prefe rence to the mom tedious one via Southampton and Havre, is about to put en a line of packets between the ports of Poole and Cherbourg and the Channel Islands, thus shortening the route in point of time by about seventeen hours. This Company, in showing to the public the pike amount of traffic which will flow over their line, beg leave to attention to the following extracts, taken from a prospectus of a Company, formed under the auspices of the Chairman of the Great Western Company, and the leading bankers and merchants of Bristol, for making a pier at, and railway from Portbury, to Bristol, and on which no further comment will be made, save that whatever applies to Portbury, ap plies with infinitely greater force to Minehead, both in the saving of time, dang r, delay, and expense. "There are at the present time engagedin the trade with South Wales, Somersetahire, Devonshire, Cornwall, Liverpool, and Ireland, twenty-three steam-vessels of the aggregate tonnage of upwards of 6,000 tons, making rather better than fifty voyages, or 100 arrivals and departures per week on an average throughout the year. " The principal part of the traffic of the whole of these vessels con sists of passengers, whilst of their . goods traffic an important portion consists of merchandize brought by, and intended for carriage on, the existing railways, from and to places on either side of Bristol. For the conduct of this traffic, every vessel will necessarily require to use the pier and railway on each occasion of departure and arrival, as the most expeditions, convenient, and economical mode of conveying Such traffic to or towards its place of destination. "The number of passengers carried by the existing steam-boats amounts to at least 200,000 per annum ; and when it is considered that the facilities afforded by the pier of starting and arriving at all times of the tide, will enable vessels which now perform but one voyage per diem, or every alternate day, to and from the nearer ports in South Wales, to make such voyages three or four times in the same day, at very trifling, if any, additional cost— that on the voyages to Swansea, Tenby, and Ilfracombe, they will effect a saving of one-half the time now occupied, and that similar advantages will be derived by the trade with Cornwall and Ireland, it can neither be doubted that the expense of conveyance between Bristol and those places will be considerably reduced, nor that the effect of such re duction, combined with the advantage of greater certainty as to the times of departure and arrival, must have the effect of causing a great increase in the number of passengers. "A large and most valuable portion of the merchandise carried by the Cornish, Welsh, and Irish steam-beats consists of fish, poultry, eggs, vegetables, and other articles of provision ; speed and certainty in the conveyance and delivery of articles of so perishable a nature are obviously essential, and the facilities in this respect afforded by the pier are such as to secure this traffic to the undertaking. " A very considerable revenue will also be derived from the landing and carriage of Live Hock brought by the Irish steam boats, which being imported fat and ready to kill, now suffer much injury from the detention of the vessels in Kingroad whilst waiting for tide." Although it is unnecessary to calculate upon the whole of this im portant and juitly founded traffic, of c it that , itis at ~n eyi le l r te oh m e le e sso vi me rp ot his ss i bli e n t oe , over-estimate the large portion when it is remembered that by the proposed scheme the harbour of Waterford will, by means of powerful steamers, be brought within twelve, and the ports of Dublin and Cork within fifteen hours of the terminus at Minehead, by which the danger, inconvenience, and un pleasantness of travelling by night will be altogether avoided. So also must the traffic derived from steam-boats, and on the line its elf; be added, which will arise from the immense resort of persons th, h, Nether ani t S h t e o wf far - , fit tl e u d e An s ' ee c ki h n o g r, p lil le in as eh are ead in , th ro e rl bea ock, uti L ftil into v n i , eini Ly ti n ffil mo o u f l V a a d e o y f o E f n R g , and llocks d acb which acent o co niy unt r r, eg y u s ir o e ap in fiy cretagedermedfacthdietiSewsittzebr e much more than even at present resorted to ; and so great is the existing traffic that, by the calculations already made, a large reve nue will be derived from this source alone. The present number of cattle sent to Bristol from Ireland alone is upwards of 150,000 head per annum, and it is only reasonable to ex pect that these will be landed at the far nearer port of Ilinehead, thereby creating a considerable source of revenue.

The country embraced by this line is of the richest description, and thickly populated. By means of this, and the existing and projected lines of railway, the whole of the ports in the eastern and north-eastern counties, in cluding the manufacturing city of Norwich, and towns of Leicester, Nottingham, Sheffield, Leeds, and the whole of Yorkshire will be brought in direct communication with the mineral districts of North and South Wales, the salt district of Droitwich, and the river Severn. The promoters of this line submit to the public, as a most import ant consideration, the abatin g o f th ose causes of loss and inconveni ence which, along the line of country over which this railway will pass, are experienced from water carriage being from necessity at present a principal mode of transit for heavy goods and merchandise, and which,i n the winter season, is productive of the most evil con sequences to those engaged in commerce. A manifest advantage to the Shareholders will be the extent of traffie which will be secured and appropriated by the present undertaking, In lieu of that which hitherto has been engrossed by the more dilatory course of water carriage. As a public advantage to the inhabitants generally of the above-mentioned districts, the promoters submit that the equa lisation in prices of the produce and merchandise which the opening of this line of railway is calculated to produce is of the high est importance, and one of the principal benefits which this and other similar undertakings are alone capable of producing. The proposed line will commence at Rugby, the terminus of the Midland Counties and Trent Valley Railways, and also of the pro posed Rugby end Huntingdon Junction Railway, and proceed from thence near to the towns of Leamington, Warwick, and Alcester, and end at the City of Worcester. At Worcester this line will form a junction with the several Welsh railways, the Shrewsbury, Wor cester, and Crewe Railway, and the Oxford, Worcester, and Wol verhampton Railway. At Warwick it will unite with the. Birmingham and Oxford Junc tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Len don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway. And at Rugby with the London and Birmingham, the Midland Counties, and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railway. To the inhabitants of Rugby as well as to those of the Midland, Eastern, and Northern Counties this line will afford a direct com munication with the fashionable towns of Leamington and Chelten ham, as well as the whole of the Western Counties. To the inhabitants of Leamington and Warwick it will give a direct communication with the City of Worcester and North and South Wales, now so much needed. And to the inhabitants of Worcester, in addition to providing the nearest route to London via Warwick, it will be an outlet to the Eastern Counties and ports, and afford great facilities for the increase of the manufactories now carried on in that city. The whole of the country has during the present month, August, 1845, been most carefully surveyed by the engineers, and they report it to be free from engineering difficulty, and well adapted for a rail way; and the provisional Directors entertain no doubt that the line will be made under the average rate of expense incident to similar undertakings, and, from the statistics in their possession, that the traffic will afford an ample return for the capital Invested. The line will not interfere with any ornamental propert y, and the landowners are favourable to the undertaking. The Shareholders in the several Railways proposed to be joined or intersected will have a preference in the allotment of shares in this undertaking. No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the Act is t 4 l and , obtained, and power will be applied far to allow interest per centum on all calls, from the time of their res p ective payments ta to limit the liability of the Shareho lders to the amount of their sub rcriptions. The Directors reserve power to themselves to amalgamate with any existing or projected line of railway; to vary the route • to make all desirable extensions; and to increase the capital as may, be advisable er necessary. published in a Prospectuses, with a Plan, will be few days, ;hissers. 11 a o , th .._ r and may then be obtained on applic ation to the_ sever al solicitors, and to any of the following share brok ers, viz., Messrs.

Theimportauee of this railway to the agricultural district of North Somerset is incalculable for disseminating, as manure, In every di rection the celebratedilme of Cannington Park, from which, and also from the carrying of coal, a large revenue will arise. Memel timber brought into the port of Poole (the harbour dues of which are very insignificant) can be unshipped, carried across by rail, and re-shipped at Minehead, at a cost of 7s. per ton less In freight, than if carried rotmd,the Landsend, exclusive of the great saving In time ; this alone Will open a large trade with Wales, as vessels will bring over 'coals to 31inehead, and take back timber, limestone, flour, mina, slates, and copper ore. The blue has lime-stone of Watchet, so admirably adapted for aquatic building, will also produce a considerabl a revenue to this undertaking. The flour and provision trade, at present carried on between the mining districts of South Wales and the coast of Somerset, must ne cessarily flow over this line, and create an important feature in its revenue. One of the first effects of the formation of this line will be, that steam communication will be established between Minehead and the following places :—Swansea, Tenby, Milford, Neath, Haverfordwest, Pembroke, and Carmarthen, and with the whole of the South of Ireland ; and this railway, with a suitable station and wharfs, will also afford to Watchet all the advantages of which it is capable as a Port. - Depots for goods will be erected at the station at Combwitch Reach, where at present all the larger vessels trading to Bridgwater stop ; and it may be mentioned that 130,000 tons of coasting trade coins into this port annually, exclusively of 10,000 tons of foreign trade. From the estimates prepared, it is expected that only a portion of the proposed capital will be required to carry out the objects of this Company. Power will be reserved to allow the sharekolders 41. per cent. on the paid-up capital, and also to construct branches from Minehead or Watchet to Wiveliscombe, Porlock, &c., and the extensive iron mines o f Sir T. Buckler Lethbridge, Bart., which, with the slate quarries of Sir John Trevylyan, are in active working within seven miles of Mine head. From this source, as also from the copper mines of Andrew Crosse, Esq., a large revenue must arise. ... - The landowners have been communicated with, and are most anxious for the successful carrying out of the objects of the Com pany; nor is there reason to expect that any Parliamentary opposi tion will be offered. The line will be twenty-flys miles in length, and no engineering difticulties present themselves. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Company shall be under the control of the Managing Directors, to whom power is given to allot the Shares, and to apply the funds of the Company In payment of all the expenses incurred in its formation, and in the preparation of the plans and sections to be submitted to Parliament. Power will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime is hereby given to the Managing Directors as above, to raise any additional capital, to abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, docks, piers, wharib , or jetties, or enter into any arrangement with any other Company or Companies, and also to nominate the first Directors of the Company.

This Line, which, subject to the decision of the Gauge Commis sioners, will be constructed on the Broad Gauge principle, will com mence at the Worcester Station of the Great Eastern and Western Railway, and, proceeding by Redditch and Henley-in-Arden, will tench Warwick and Leamington, and end at Rugby, the terminus of the Midland Counties Railway and of the proposed Rugby and Hunt ingdon Junction Railway. It will communicate with Droitwich, Studley, Alcester, and Stratford-on-Avon. At Warwick, it will unite with the Birmingham and Oxford Junc tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway ; and at Rugby, with the London and Birmingham, the Midland Counties, and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railways. The country through which it will pass, is thickly populated, and of the richest description. It presents no engineering difficulties, and from its population, its manufactures, and agricultural produce, it possesses sources of such abundant traffic as to render it highly re munerative to the capitalists. The object proposed is to complete the line of railway communica tion between the Western, Midland, and Eastern portions of the Kingdom, and a glance at the Map of England will show that this will be effected in the most direct manner by the present line ; touch ing, as it will, at one of its termini, a railway running direct from Swansea to Worcester, and at the other, the projected line from Rugby to Huntingdon—from which point a railway communication has been already provided. By means of this Railway, the manufactures of all the towns and the agricultural produce of the country contained within its range, as well as the Ports on the Eastern and North-Eastern Coast, will have opened to them a direct and unbroken communication with the great and densely-populated mineral fields of South Wales, as well as the markets of the Northern portion of the principality. To the population Hong the line as well as to the Midland and Northern portions of 'he kingdom, this undertaking will present the most direct communication with those towns of fashionable resort— Leamington and Cheltenham. To the inhabitants of Leamington and Warwick, it will open the most direct communication with the city of Worcester and South Wales, whilst to the inhabitants of Worcester, it will open the markets of the Eastern portions of the country. The Shareholders in the several railways proposed to be joined or intersected, will have a preference in the allotment of shares in this undertaking. No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the let is obtained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at four pounds per centum on all calls from the time of their respeotive payments, and to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscription. . _ eh, Isle of t,l 97th Vegifi Joel to the late Harodea ,sefool, ;hter o r.

Whitchurch—James Bromfield, Esq. Chester—John P. Maddock, Esq. Wellington—George Marcy, Esq. Shrewsbury—W. Cooper, Esq. The geographical position of Worcester has caused its adoption as the point where the broad guage trunk lines of the west are to have a common terminus. From Oxford the Great Western Company have lecided on constructing a line of rail :—another project under the pa ironage of the same powerful direction is now before the public, uniting Worcester with Warwick ; and, that the broad gauge will be carried from Worcester into Wales, and to the Irish packet stations on that .oast, is now no longer doubtful. This undertaking will com plete a series of great avenues of iron -road, whose ramification from Worcester will render every part of the kingdom directly aceessible from that city. Passing up the Severn Vale, where It will disclose a succession of picturesque scenes, it reaches Stourport, and proceeding thence through Kidderminster, arrives at Bewdley. This district is one of the chief seats of our carpet manu factures, and in the towns here named, exclusive of the intervening districts, upwards of 30,000 persons are located. Leaving Stourbridge a little to the east, the line is taken to Bridgenorth, a town enjoying an active inland trade, and possessing woollen manufactures and iron works, that give employment to a population of about 15,000. Pass ing through or near to Much Wei - dock, Broseley, and Madeley, from which place there will be a branch to Shrewsbury, the line ascends Colebrook Dale, and approaching in its course Wellington and Wem, enters Whitchurch. From this central place a branch will be formed to Norwich via Stoke, forming a junction with the Liverpool and Crewe Railway. The trunk line will continue from NVhitchurch, and passing through or near Malpas, have its northern terminus in the city of Chester. In estimating the probable amount of revenue which the Worces ter and Chester Railway may be expected to yield, many sources of profit present themselves, such are the dense population located along the length of the Severn Vale, and the enriching works of industry in which they are engaged. Amongst the latter may be mentioned the China manufactories of 'Worcester ; the iron, coal, and earthen.. ware works at Broseley and other places ; the agricultural produce brought to Stourport market ; the inexhaustible fields of coal and mines of iron ore in the vicinity of Colebrook Dale, IrOnbridge, and the districts to the east of Shrewsbury generally. In calculating the cost of construction unusual advantages are also obvious. The lino traverses a district affording levels of several miles in extent, and with a surface peculiarly favourable. The resi dent population, disappointed by the postponement of promised pr jects, have warmly espoused the present, and the labouring popula tion being familiar with mining operations, will be found better qualified for the execution of railway works here than in many other localities. As a link in the railway network of England, or as auxiliary to existing or projected lines passing in various directions, few Schemes hithedo proposed appear to afford greater inducement for investment; or a wider range of accommodation for tragic and travelling. This project constitutes a lengthened link in th chain that of the that will connect Liverpool with Bristol, the grand trunk is th e Weit of England ;—its southern terminus, Worces ter,.,,t line :____ half way station of the London and Port Dynnllae: v t il l ro gaugeby projected lines a direct communication ward be , afforded to Warwick and west ward to Swansea and Aberystwith, and, east Harwich, Lynn, Lincoln.

It will commence at or near the city of Limerick, and taking a nor therly direction, proceed through the counties ofClare, Galway, Mayo, and Sligo, terminating at Sligo, by a junction with the Sligo and Ennis killen Railway, and accommodating on its route the important cities and towns of Limerick, Ennis, Gort, Loughrea, Athenry, Monivea, Tuam, Ballinrobe, Castlebar, Westport, Foxford, Ratline, Kilalla, Swineford, Streamstown, and Sligo, which town being connected with the north, east, and south, by the different lines through Enniskillen, London derry, Coleraine, Belfast, Armagh, Newry, Dundalk, Drogheda, Dublin, Wicklow, Wexford, Waterford, Cork, Killarney, Valentia, Tralee, and Limerick, the establishment of this line will cause Ire land to present a oompleteness of locomotive communication which no other country in the world enjoys. The country through which the proposed line travels is most fertile in mineral and agricultural products; it embraces many extensive coal fields, whose advantages it will extend to all parts of Connaught and Ulster; and intersecting, as it does, so many metropolitan lines of railway, it will dovelope those advantages in an equal degree to the province of Leinster. The lead, iron, marble, and slate works on its ,route, will be rendered available to the most distant parts of the island, and perhaps not the least advantage, in a national point of view, will be the establishnient of an intercourse between the population of the extreme north and that of the extreme south, as well as placing the trade of, and communication with, Scotland, within the easy reach of all towns of any importance in Ireland. Added to this the cer tainty that on the completion of the projected southern, eastern, and western lines, the noble natural harbours on the Atlantic shore of Ireland will become the British depots of American traffic, and most probably the established packet stations for postal communication between the two countries, it is impossible to over-rate the value of this truly national projection. The counties which this railway traverses abundantly supply the English markets with cattle, pigs, &c. This line, communicating with so many ports, will afford the greatest facilities for the shipping of this portion of trade, some idea of the extent of which may be formed from the fact of upwards of five hundred fairs being held annually in its immediate vicinity, among them, the fair of Ballinasloe, ac knowledged tile greatest for sheep and cattle in the British islands. It has been ascertained that the country presents great engineering facilities for the construction of a railway, and in communications which have been received from the landowners along the line, the greatest anxiety is manifested for its completion. The subscribers will be held liable only to the extent of their first deposits until an Act of Parliament is obtained, and afterwards only to the amount of their subscriptions. Power will be applied for in the Act—and in the meantime Is hereby given to the Committee—to increase the capital, if necessary ; to alter or abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, or enter into arrangements with any other company or companies ; and also to nominate the first directors of the company. The Parliamentary contract and subscribers' agreement will be ready for signature on payment of the deposits. It will be seen in the plan that the railway intersects many main lines, and will thus contribute to, and receive from them a con siderable amount in passenger and merchandise traffic. From the estimates that have been made, a return of at least 10 per cent. must be realised on the capital.

Edwards, Mason, and BANKERS IN LONDON—Messrs. Gl; bard-street; and the London Ji Thr le commercial advantages and great facilities which the port of Southampton offers to the merchant and the manufacturer, clearly point out a demand for a more direct communication with it from Manchester and York, and the various manufactories of the north and of Staffordshire, than is at present afforded, either by the circuitous route on the eastern side, through London by the Bir mingham and the South-Western Railways, or on the western side, by the Birmingham and Cheltenham Railways. Numerous influen tial and monied parties, interested in improving this communication, have projected a direct line, proceeding from Manchester via Stock port, Macclesfield, Leek, Cheadle, Uttoxeter, Tutbury, Burton, Market Bosworth, and Hinckley, to Rugby, and then using the Rug by and Oxford Railway to Didcote (on the Great Western Railway), to form a railway thence to Southampton by way of Newbury, An dover, and Stockbridge. The distance between Manchester and Rugby by the existing rail way route is at present about 116 miles, and by the proposed line from Macclesfield to Rugby it will be only 92, so that the projected Railway will lessen the distance by 24 miles. which, as well in time as charge, will effect a most important improvement in the traffic both of passengers and goods between those places, and will afford an accommodation which is imperatively required in regard to the large population of the intermediate towns now without any convenience from railway conveyance. It is needless to remark how great must be the advantage which the whole manufacturing districts round such an emporium of manufac tures as Manchester will derive, from having direct access to such a port as Southampton, which has now become the chief medium of transit to all the islands and ports in the Mediterranean, and to India also, by mean s o f the packets of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, as also to the colonies and ports of the Western Hemisphere by the mail established for that purpose. As the scheme embraces the important feature of a direct lino from Derby to Rugby, by joining the Great Manchester, Rugby, and Southampton Railway, near Market Bosworth, thereby saving one fifth of the distance, it will be at once apparent that York and the whole northern district will, by means of the Northern Midland Railway to Derby, obtain the same direct communication with Southampton ; and, in fact, the project will contribute a grand trunk communication from north to south through the centre of the king dom, and not only will the northern commercial and manufacturing towns benefit by this great undertaking, but the important coal and iron districts of Derbyshire and Staffordshire, which the line intersects, will derive immense advantages from the convenient and extensive new mart which will be opened for their valuable produc tions, whilst Southampton and the intermediatelocalities will greatly benefit by the ready and cheap manner in which coals and other necessary productions, not only of the soil, but of northern manu factories, will be supplied, whether for cohsumption or merchandise. It is proposed that the Southampton terminus stall be a convenient spot in the vicinity of the new docks, independently of the South- Western Railway. The lines of the proposed railways have been carefully surveyed, and levels taken by skilful engineers and sur veyors, and in no part present any unusual difficulties. The gradients will be unusually good, and the general line of country may be re garded as offering engineering facilities for the important work pro posed. A more direct communication from Manchester and from Tork, through Derby and Rugby to Southampton, is professedly the main object of the proposed scheme ; but it will be obvious to all who study the geography of the respective places, not only that the line to Rugby, both from Manchester and from Derby, forms a more direct communication between those places and London, by means of the Birmingham Railway from Rugby, than any other route now in use, but that it will challenge the skill of the engineer and the ingenuity of the speculator to devise a better line. It is no slight advantage in this scheme that the interference it offers to any of the existing railways Is not considerable, whilst the increased traffic which it is certain to cause on the North Midland Railway, and the traffic which it is calculated to retain to the Lon don and Birmingham Railway, notwithstanding the threatened rivalry of two distinct Manchester and London direct lines ; as also the immense traffic both of passengers and goods 'which it must necessarily pour along the Rugby and Oxford line, no under the management of the Great Western Railway Company, appear not only to neutralize the opposition, but to entitle this project to the support of each of those formidable bodies. It appears unnecessary in regard to a line of railway like that pro posed to go into those details of passenger and goods traffic, which may be necessary where the amount is questionable ; but as the main feature of this scheme is the improvement of communication between, and near places, the traffic of which is known to be immense, it would be idle to swell the prospectus with any such particulars. It is sufficient to state that it will be equal to that of any line in the kingdom. 'The Subscribers will be only liable to the extent of their deposits; and power will be taken to allow the Shareholders 4 per cent. on filo deposit and calls until the opening of the line.
