Originating at Bicester, by a junction with the Oxford and Cam bridge line through Wolverton, in connexion with the Eastern Coun ties, the South and Midlands Junction will afford facility of inter course with the metropolis in one direction, with Stafford, the P•t teries, Birmingham, Liverpool, and Manchester in tke other ; near Woodstock, close to which the projected line will pass, the Oxford and Rugby and Oxford and Worcester Railways cross, presenting opportunities of entering the two great railway arteries of the king dom—the Great Western and the London and Birmingham, the for mer at Dudcot, the latter at Rugby. Proceeding to the manufacturing town of Witney, a line is crossed communicating with the Stroudwater district of manufactures by the Oxford and Cheltenham Railway, thence the projected line trends di rectly S.W., leaving Bsmpton to the east, until it reaches Lechlade, A town seated at the odium of the Thames and Severn navigation with the River Thames, and where a consfderable entrepot for mer chandise is established. Keeping within easy distances of Farringdon, Cricklade, and High worth, it reaches Swindon, a rapidly improving vicinity. At this principal station, where the broad gauge is crossed, the Gloucester and Cheltenham line falls into the Great Western. The intersection of the South and Midland Junction with the Great Western at Swindon opens a most extensive and valuable communi cation with London eastward; Bristol, Bath, Gloucester, Chelten ham, Stroud, westward ; and, by the Gloucester and Aberystwith projected line, with the whole of North and South Wales.

OBSERVATIONS ON THE REPORT OF MR. CHARLES BLOUNT, ENGINEER TO THE COMPANY. The Provisional Committee find, by reference to the engineer's preliminary report, that the tunnels upon the line, as laid down for the Rugby, Derby and Manchester Railway, are by no means of the ordinary length or occurrence in lines ef this magnitude, and that the earth works throughout are not of great difficulty or extent ; the grolients are easy, and, in many parts of the line, extending to entire Cdstricts, of a nature exceedingly favourable for the construction of railways for goods and passenger traffic at high velocities. The direction of the line, taken integrally from Rugby to Maccles field, or Manchester inclusive, or between any intermediate points, is remarkably free from a circuitous or tortuous character, and it happens most felicitously that a line so arterially important In a national point of view, and so certainly to become the great high road between the metropolis and - the largest manufacturing towns and districts of the king dom, is so free from contingent difficulty of all kinds ; while it actually passes through every important townand place situate upon the old high road between the metropolis and the part of the kingdom referred to, pre serving at the same time the strict integrity of a perfectly distinct and independent line, of between seventy and eighty miles in extent considered as a through line, as well as in its local character as a railway between any intermediate points ef the line adopted : this principle has been so faithfully followed out as to render these por tions of the line of themselves amply remunerative when considered with regard to local traffic alone ; for example, any such portion of the entire line as shall be executed between Rugby and Derby, or Derby and Ashbourne, would be found presenting returns upon the capital expended in the formation of the line, amply remunerative for the capital expended on the districts to which they refer. In short, it may be announced as a fact that the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway presents the extraordinary feature that any , part of its line between any two of its termini would return a profit as a local line ; that, combined, they will form a highly profitable chain of communication; and that almost the whole of the returns for the direct Manchester traffic, both of goods and passengers, to London may be set down as profit. It can hardly be wondered at that this unique and happy result should follow as a matter of course, when we consider that the old high roads (the direction of which, in a general sense, may be said to be the index line of the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway) were made for, existed for, and maintained the whole commercial intercommunication of the country through which they passed. But the constructors of the existing and projected railways having little regard to this intercommunication of the intermediate points of their termini, have laid down their lines not sufficiently in the vicinity of these through lines or high roads, and have therefore divested and destroyed the local traffic of each individual district. To restore, therefore, the original balance of traffic and intercom munication between each terminus of this important line, In its ori ginal and natural direction—taking, at the same time the towns, districts, places, and population—has been the object of the promoters of this measure ; and a special and laborious inquiry by the en gineer, Mr. Charles Blount, has been devoted to this point. The argument which that gentleman 'Adduces for maintaining the principle of going directly through the towns or places proposed to be served by the construction of a railway may be described as fol lows—viz., that in the construction of the old high roads, in what ever part of this kingdom, the engineers who laid them out of neces sity kept in view the shortest possible route lines presenting the easiest inclinations, and lines, which, in all cases, without exception, were directed through the towns presenting the greatest population, and having consequently the greatest need of an easy and a rapid means of intercommunication. Reference to the best maps of this kingdom will exhibit the population, and in consequence the mann facturiqg districts actually on such lines of common high roads. It might be matter of curious rather than useful inquiry to ascertain how far the towns and places may have enlarged or followed the thread of the direction, or whether their existence and their necessi ties had been consulted actually in the original construction of the roads. The inferences are clear, therefore, that a line of railway which can preserve its own integrity as a through line for goods or pas sengers traffic, and also preserve at the same moment the shortest and most direct course between its starting point and its extremity, while it at the same time maintains its same value and relationship between the intermediate places, is manifestly the line to be adopted. Such a line is the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway. There are but two efficient reasons (and those are most question able) for diverting a main or a trunk line from the lay or dispositions of the towns, or the wants or exigencies of the districts. These may be said to be—that the line preSents engineering difficulty in the con struction ; for more uniform or better gradients and less costly works, or otherwise, in an engineering sense, possess some extraordinary ad vantages ; or it may be that the second position to which we have referred shall justify the diversion of the line by reason that it will greatly, or to an important extent, shorten the distance between the two great termini. When, therefore, we find a projeet laying claim to a district simply because it possesses one solitary feature (save that it may be for a few miles, of no very important number, the short over lines of communication already existing, or over others projected in the same direction), studiously pursuing and threading the long-established stream of population, of manufactures, agricul tural and other produce of every kind, it becomes matter of serious and grave inquiry whether a few miles extra in a line of such extent as the one projected between the metropolis and the town of Man chester, but which avoids and sacrifices the moral and commercial interests enumerated, be considered as therefore presenting any real claim to the support of the great communities so largely and so va riously interested in this great question. In times when the means of intercommunication were confined to canals and common roads alone, a saving of eight or ten miles in a run or count of from 100 to 200 miles was certainly a matter of sufficient importance to justify the old road and canal engineers in adopting a deviation from the greatprincipleswhich we have laid down as having formed the base or index line of all their operations. The physical re volution which railways, in their construction, have worked upon the commercial relations of this country, and the well-being and the so cial conditions of the people, may not inaptly be said to carry with it its own great means of preying and carrying out in actual practice the seemingly anomalous position of the furthest way about the nearest. A short proof of this position of our argument is, that a small deviation from the direct course to meet and to serve great ends is proved to be elementally no objection, time, in fact, being consi dered as annihilating the position of distance. We have used this argument as telling decidedly in favour of those Who e : s may require its assistance/to carry o u t th e relative or other advan tages of project e d li nes, rather than that it affords us any other services beyond a general exposition of the f a lse th eor y an d t h e equa ll y f a l se practice vhich characterises the maps of our existent railways. A refe rence to that portion of the engineer's report on the line of the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, which treats of the distances rela yrecaotusid satisfactionered, r t the entire tl i.,i distance as a through line, exhibits, to lo cally interested, and to those to t t h b e e g l Committee, and to the public I savingne eri n deductions have been submitted o o , r a w t h c w o o n in sid h e i r s a b e l ng e g o of laboursdistance n the through line and in the one the line locally of vast commercial Importance,o moat Important points upon miles, and to use the expressions of hise a saving of several for Its carefill and elaborate research thapnork r not less distinguished happy results therein so indisputably w or k ed e t u h t ° satisfactory and The Derby, and Manchester Railway passes through everyrb he Ru gy, portant town between Rugby and Derby, Derby and Ilanc 'e tal. ster, as the leading towns, termini, or places of the railway ; locally ' con nects with those and other towns direct railway communicati on • traverses the richest mineral, agricultural, and commercial divi s i ons of the counties through which it passes ; and preserves its character intact as a through line, and is distinctly shorter than any of the yet proposed direct lines from London to Manchester."

The Committee of Management of the above Company have the satisfaction of stating that the Clonmel and Kilkenny Railway Com pany has been united with this Company, and it Is now intended to make application to Parliament, in the ensuing session, for powers to construct a line of railway from Clonmel to Kilkenny, C a rlow, and Wicklow, whereby the former irnportant cities will be brought Into direct rlway communication with t h e metropolis of the nearest r ai oute. Ireland by Negotiations are also in progress with the Waterford and Kilkenny Company, who obtained their Act o f P arliament last ses s i on, for securing the support and co - opera tion of that Company to the undertaking, which it is confidently anticipated will terminate satis factorily. A reference to the official traffic map of the railway Commis sioners will show the great extent of the traffic between the several towns on the line, and the prospect of its proving highly remunera tive to the shareholders. The requisite capital having been already subscribed for, the allot ment of shares will be proceeded with forthwith ; and as the project has received the unqualified approbation of the landed proprietors along the line, and is warmly supported by the English Great Western, the Waterford, Wexford, Wicklow, and Dublin Railway Companies, and the other Irish Companies in connexion with that in terest, a portion of the Directors of the Great Western Company forming part of the Committee of Management, the sanction of Par liament to the measure may be most confidently anticipated. Applicants for shares in either Company, before their amalgama tion are at liberty to withdraw the same, if they desire to do so, before Monday, the 15th of September, until which time applications for shares in the Clonmel, Kilkenny, Carlow, and Wicklow Company, will be received, addressed to the Secretary, at the Company's offices, 449, West Strand, London. The capital of the Company will be augmented to 1,500,0001., in 75,000 shares of 201. each, upon which a deposit of 21. will be re quired, to meet the new standing orders of Parliament.

EDMUNDS. The Line will commence :by a Junction at Ely with the Eastern °unties, Lynn and Ely, and Ely and Huntingdon Railways, and illterminate at Bury by a Junction with the Ipswich and Bury Railway. Its object is to preserve the mercantile connexion which has for generations subsisted between the county of Suffolk, the town of Bury, and the Port of Lynn, and to afford to Ipswich, Colchester, and Bury, and all that portion of the kingdom, a direct communica tion with the manufacturing districts. The distance from Bury, and consequently from all places eastward of that town to Peterborough—the point at which so many Lines pass ing from the south and east to the north and north-west converge— will, by the Ely and Bury Line, be ten miles shorter than the route to that City by way of Cambridge. A detailed Prospectus will be issued immediately. ROOPER, BIRCH, and INGRID!, 63, Lincoln's Inn-tlelda. PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT. THE MANCHESTER, HUDDERSFIELD, BARNSLEY, and GOOLE JUNCTION RAILWAY. (Provisionally Registered.) The Legislature having, during the recent session, sanctioned the making of a railway from Huddersfield to Manchester, the long-de sired object of opening a direct line of railway communication. from Manchester to the Port of Goole, passing through the Saddleworth and Marsden Valleys, now presents itself. To accomplish this object, it is proposed to make a railway, com mencing at or near the station at Huddersfield of the Huddersfield and Manchester Railway, proceeding through the Kirkburton and Shelley Valleys, and thence by way of, or near, Barnsley, to Goole. By th 3 proposed railway, and the intended Huddersfield and Man chester Railway, there would be then established one continuous line of railways between the Irish Sea and the German Ocean, pass ing through Manchester, and connecting the two ports of Liverpool and Goole ; and also several Important and populous manufacturing districts would have the benefit of railway communication, for which no provision has yet been made by any existing Company, or pro posed by any scheme now before the public. The proposed line would cross the !North Midland Railway at or near Cudworth Station, opening a direct communication southwards. The Portion of the line between Huddersfield and the North Mil land Railway would pass through or near several of the most ex tensive and celebrated coal fields in Yorkshire ; and the other part of the line would afford :Increased means of attaining the valuable limestone of Knottingley. The country through which the line wool I pass generally is of a favourable character, and presenting few (if any) engineering diffi culties ; but a survey is now being made, and, when complettd. a detailed Prospectus, with the names of a most influential Provisional Committee, consisting of landowners, merchPnts, manufacturers, and others locally interested, will be published.

PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE. • The Committee of Management have determined, with the powers given them by the deed of the Company, to relinquish the branch from Ludlow to Newtown, which will form a necessary part of the Worcester and Port Dynllaen line projected by the Great Western Railway Company, and to reduce their proposed capital from 1,250,0001. to 1,000,0001. As the new standing order of the House of Lords will require 10 per cent. of the proposed capital to be deposited, the Committee have also determined, in order to obviate the necessity of a further call on Shareholders before going to Parliament, to distribute the capital into shares of 25/., deposit 21. 123. 6d. ; allowing holders of the pre sent 501. shares to receive twice as many 25/. shares, or any smaller number they may wish (subject to approval of the names by the Committee where their shares were not originally allotted to them), or if any should wish to withdraw, returning them the deposits of 2/. 15s. per share which have been paid up. All holders of scrip certificates, or of bankers' receipts, are requested to forward the same to the Secretary on or before SATURDAY, the 20th of September, and to state at the same time their wishes with respect to new Shares, by letter in the form below. All holders of Shares not originally allotted to them, failing to transmit their scrip certifi cates on or before that day, will forfeit all benefit of their Shares, and original Shareholders, failing by the same day to transmit their scrip certificates or bankers' receipts, will forfeit their right to an additional number of Shares. Where the scrip certificates or bankers' receipts are forwarded by ,post, the letter should be registered at the post office ; the Secretary will acknowledge their receipt. The Shrewsbury and Hereford line will be made in cordial co operation with the Great Western and South Wales Companios ; and the Committee are happy to be able to announce that the surveys are being actively proceeded with. SIR, —I hereby transmit scrip certificates of the Shrewsbury, Here ford, and North Wales Railway Company, Nos. , [or a banker's receipt for shares,] and I desire to have 251. shares in the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway Company, under taking to pay the additional sum required to make a deposit of 21. 12s. 6d. on each of these shares, and to sign the subscribers' agreement and Parliamentary contract when required, [or, to receive back the deposits which have been paid.] R UGBY, DERRY, AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY, THROUGH LEEK.

In deference to the representations of a deputation from Leek, it has been decided that the Ruzby, Derby. and Manchester Railway shall pass through Leek, in place of a branch, as originally designed and advertised. _ _ The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Riilway is a direct line from London to Manchester, coming from London to Rugby, along the London and Birmingham line, and proceeding from Rugby by Hinck ley, through Market Bosworth, and Ashby-de-la-Zouch, to Derby, thence to Ashboume, by Leek, to Macclesfield, and along the Mac clesfield and Stockport, and Stockport and Manchester Railways into Manchester. A branch to Buxton is in contemplation. The principle of this railway is to obtain a direct through line be tween some of the most important districts in the kingdom with the least possible amount of new railway, and 4onsequently the smallest expenditure of capital. It will also establish the shortest direct communication between Derby and London, Sheffield and London, and between all the towns on the North Midland Railway and London. The Manchester, Derby, and Rugby Railway will open a direct communication between Manchester and Derby, and will consider ably shorten the distance between Manchester and Nottingham and Manchester and Leicester. The line from Derby to Rugby will establish the direct communi cation from that town to London, which has been so long considered desirable by the inhabitants. The same will apply to Sheffield, when the Sheffield and Chester field branch of the North Midland Railway is made. THE GREAT ADVANTAGES of the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway through Leek over the other projects into Manchester, among others, are— First, That there are only seventy-five miles of railway to be made, in place of one hundred and eighty-nine. Secondly, That it is a more direct line from London to Manchester than even the proposed direct lines. Thirdly, That it interferes with no existing railway property or vested interests. _ Usual signature •... Name in full • •• •• • • Profession or Business ......

IVIELIAI fir igtio'ff,v4gBiiiißr• The Bill for making a Railway from Plymouth to Falmouth, and the West Cornwall Railway Bill, having been both rejected by Par liament, and the projected South Devon Railway from Exeter to Plymouth pursuing only a winding and precarious course along the margin of the Southern Channel, the great area of Devonshire west of Exeter, and the whole of the county of Cornwall, are now desti tute of railway accommodation. The object of the present undertaking is to provide an efficient sys tem of railway communication for the whole of this Western Penin sala ; and as the waste of capital and time, involved in the circuitous route by Bristol, is greatly complained of, the leading and indispens able feature of the project will be to obtain the most direct, punctual, and economical line between London, Falmouth, and Penzance. An far as Exeter, that project is already in the hands of the "London and South-Western," the " London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Junction," and the "Yeovil, Dorchester, and Exeter" Companies. It was this Central Line, westward, which the Committee of the House of Lords, pledge themselves not to E tl a ie il y w s a p y ea C k o o m f p i a n n t y he t i o r report " as the line which in the Wilts and Somerset Railway Bill, in the late session, obliged o th p e po G se r l a a et n W d es w t h e i rn ch the best interests of the country require, and which must eventually be carried direct to Falmouth, the most westerly port in the Channel." Under these auspices, and with this strong expression from the Legislature, it may be considered that a continuous line of railway, from London, through Salisbury, to Yeovil and Exeter, no less than thirty miles shorter than the devious course of the Great Western suggested by the House of Railway, is already morally secured. In order, therefore, to com- L pl o e r t ds e g re r m et in n s a o ti n o l n y al to pr e o l e t cl i hthtusis direct Exeter line, without change of gauge or terminus, direct to Falmouth and Penzance. The saving In actual distance thus effected, between London and Falmouth, as compared with the Great Western and its extensions, amounts to more than fifty miles; whilst the time also saved by avoiding the passage of the Hamoaze, to say nothing of all other difficulties involved in that project, was estimated, in the recent in quiry before Parliament, as equal to a saving of fifteen or twenty miles more. Bearing in mind, therefore, the geographical position of Falmouth and Penzance, especially the great advantages of the former, as the most Westernly station for our naval and packet service, and as af fording a most secure harbour of refuge in the event of war; and re membering, too, that this must eventually become the highway to westward, has been recently ard n hardly Mediterranean, the East and West Indies, and America, the i r r d e l c y t be railway, o ver-a with te d. a im portance to the Admiralty and Lloyd's , of su c c a li ad a re surveyed, and has been found to afford a main trunk line, with good continuous ne central la districtn d from electric Ex ete telegraph, r, we locomotive gradients, attainab l e without engineering difficulties, and at a reasonable expense ; the general course being near or through Crediton, Bow, Hatherleigh, North Tawton, Okehampton, Launces ton, Camelford, Bodmin, St. Columb, St. Austell, (by means of a branch,) Truro, and Penryn, to Falmouth ;—at Truro, an extension line through West Cornwall will diverge to Chacewater, Redruth. Cambome, Hayle, (with a branch to St. Ives,) Marasion, and Pen zance. This extension runs for more than 30 miles through the most popu lous and flourishing part of Cornwall; and the Tables of the recently rejectly West Cornwall Bill showed an existing traffic, through that district, of 10/. per cent. after deducting working expenses. But as the constructing and working this line by a separate company would be productive of unnecessary expense and inconvenience to the public, the line to Penzance, as well as to Falmouth, will form an integral portion of the main work under one and the same management. From Traro, eastward, the main line will pass several important mines ; and near Bodmin will throw out a branch through the China clay district to St. Austell, and its populous mining neighbourhood. It will also avail itself of the railways now in process of construction from Newquay on the north, and Par on the southern Channel; whilst a connexion with the already constructed railway from Bode min to Wadebridge, will open, through the port of Padstow, the best communication between Cork, the south of Ireland, and London. Advancing farther, an opportunity will occur of establishing a traffic with the well-known Delabole Slate Quarries on the one hand, and the flourishing Caradon Mines on the other ; whilst the sand supplied by the Bude Canal, and the lime which abounds in the neighbourhood of Launceston, will form the subject of most considerable transport into the highly improvable agricultural districts westward and east ward. Passing onward into Devonshire, a branch will be thrown out from the main line to the port of Bideford. thus opening, for the mineral produce of Wales, a market in Central Devon and Cornwall, which are destitute of coal ; and another branch will diverge southward by Tavistock to Plymouth, thus affording the most direct communica tion between those towns and Exeter. This branch being also accessible from Launceston will open for the north and West of Corn wall, and for Falmouth, a line to Plymouth, in point of time, shorter than the lately projected line across the Hamoaze from Plymouth to Falmouth, Should the traffic, nevertheless, bo found to justify an other branch from a point near Bodmin, through Liskeard, to Ply mouth, such a branch may and will be constructed. Arriving within fourteen miles of Exeter, the main line will be joined from the north by a direct line from Ilfracombe and Barn staple to Exeter, and about seven miles further on by the Dartmouth, Brixham, Torbay, and Exeter line, an amalgamation of which two lines is now under consideration, thus affording to these two friendly companies a direct communication from north to south, ftom the Bristol to the English Channel, and carrying their traffic on one com mon trunk, on to one common terminus, with the Yeovil line at Exeter. The inspection of a map will better show the importance of this comprehensive scheme, which overspreads the surface of Devon and Cornwall, and leaves little to be desired to give full value and effect to objects of such importance. The supply and demand created by this large area,—its population, amounting to more than 600,000,—its Ports, situate on both Chan nels,—its Fisheries, Mining, Commercial, and Agricultural advan tages,—its exports of Corn, Wool, and Cattle,—its probable con sumption of Coal, Manure, and general supplies , — were] fully gone into in tire recent inquiry before the House ofLords, and forcibly require increased facilities, and diminished cost of transport. The general evidence, also, given in that House, showed a good remune rative existing traffic, without any such increase as may reasonably be expected from a well - digested system of Branches ; and when the flirther increase in passenger and general traffic, east and west, Is taken into consideration, which must necessarily arise from bringing Falmouth, its harbour and foreign relations, and Penzance, with its much-sought climate and early markets, so much nearer to the Me tropolis, and the northern and eastern parts of England than can possibly be accomplished by any other devisable railway communi cation; and when it is also borne in mind, that from tire Peninsular form of the county of Cornwall, this line, when established, can have no competitor, it is not too much to assert that this project offers a very eligible opportunity for the investment of capital. The strong feeling in favour of a central line, evinced by public meetings and petitions from every part of the county of Cornwall and West Devon ; the support of Noblemen, Magistrates, Merchants, Mine-owners, and Agriculturists, in the recent struggle: the numerous and strong assurances of support already received from the landowners and general interests along tire line ; and the hearty concurrence and co-operation of the Associated Companies, the names of whose members appear in the', Provisional Committee,S leave no doubt of the successful issue of the application which will be made to Par liament in the next session. The Act to be applied for will contain the usual clauses for limiting the liabilities of Shareholders to the amount of their subseriptions, and for allowing interest at 41. per Cent. per annum, on all Calls, from the time of payment until the opening of the line.

Poole—Messrs. Ledgard and Co. The great and important object of this undertaking is to connect by a Railway in the most direct route, and of the least expensive character, the mail and shipping port of Southampton and the port and harbour of Poole, with Manchester, Liverpool, and the counties of Lancashire, Yorkshire, Cheshire, Staffordshire, and Warwick shire; in fact, with the whole of the cotton, woollen, salt, pottery, and iron manufacturing and producing districts. It is not necessary in this case to enter into the question of ex pediency or inexpediency of railway communication, the necessity and advantage of such a measure being obvious and fully admitted. This line commencing at Cheltenham, to which point railway com munication from the north already exists, proceeds to Cirencester and Marlborough, and then passing down the peopled and fertile valley of the Avon to Salisbury, meets with the railway now con structing by way of Romsey to Southampton ; thus making the dis tance to Southampton as short as by any other practicable route, and saving the construction of twenty-three miles of railway. From Salisbury it is intended, still pursuing the valley of the Avon, to continue the line eighteen miles to Ringwood, where, meeting the Southampton and Dorchester Line, it communicates with Poole and the country below as far as Dorchester. About four miles below Marlborough it is intended to make a branch in the same course as the Kennet and Avon Canal, about eight miles long, to Devizes. It has already been stated, that it is not necessary to enter upon the question of expediency of railway communication with South ampton; but it is proper to state why the line here laid down is pre ferable to that from Marlborough by way of Ludgershall and An dover to that place. The latter is hilly, comparatively barren, and uninhabited, and consequently expensive, with very little local traffic ; and would have to depend in a commensurate degree on the through traffic for support ; it would also be necessary to make a line the whole distance, there being no existing line with which it could unite between Marlborough and Southampton. It is also open to the objection that it runs from Andover to Southampton parallel with and at a short distance from the South-Western line of Railway, which must necessarily leave it a very limited amount of traffic as respects that distance, even if it should not expose it to the powerful opposition of that company. On the other hand, this line passing as it does from north to south, through the heart of the county of Wilts, a distance of fifty miles, unites the whole of that county. obtains the traffic now existing between its towns, which is considerable, and affords with the aid of the branch to Devizes and the existing and projected railways, easy access from all parts of Wiltshire to the county town of Salisbury, and also to Devizes, the alternate assize town. Thus far, the greater advantages of this route as regards the line to Southampton only have been spoken of, and important as they are with reference to the interest of the shareholders, and the accom modation of the country traversed, a further advantage, not only to the shareholders but to the public attained by this project, has yet to be stated. By the formation of eighteen miles of railway between Salisbury and Ringwood, passing by the towns of Downton and Fordingbridge, the port and harbour and the town and county of the town of Poole are brought within the operation of this comprehensive scheme. The harbour of Poole admits vessels up to 400 tons burden ; and it has been confidently asserted by practical men, that by a small' outlay improvements might be made to admit ships of the largest size. There are safe and quiet moorings for vessels, with ample quays and warehouses, and the dues and charges are about one-twelfth of the ordinary charges at other ports in England. The existing local traffic alone would, it is calculated, be sufficient to pay the Shareholders a remunerating dividend on the outlay required for making the line from Salisbury to Ringwood. In the item of Potter's Clay alone there are annually shipped for the Potteries upwards of fifty thousand tons, which, after reaching Liverpool, have to be transmitted by inland navigation about sixty miles to reach their destination, at a total cost for carriage of 20s. per ton—every ton of which would unquestionably be forwarded from Poole by this railway. The stone of the Isle of Purbeck, vast quantities of which are used for flagging and building purposes, would find a much more extensive and ready market in the Interior of the country, if there were cheaper and more ready and convenient means of trans porting it. Theannouncement of this project has been hailed with the utmost satisfaction both in the north and throughout every district over which the line passes, as well as by every Interest identified with it, or affected by it.

Farley, Lavender, and Co. This Line, which, subject to the decision of the Gauge Commis sioners, will be constructed on the Broad Gauge p: inciple, 'will com mence at the Worcester Station of the Great Eastern and Western • Railway, and, proceeding by Redditch and Henley-in-Arden, will touch 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 wiil 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 New South Wales, as well as the markets of the markets of the Northern portion of the ' principality. The advantages of a direct railway carriage over the more tedious process of carriage by water, to say nothing of the economy in saving the expense, as well as the damage incident to many kinds of goods by the frequent transhipment required by the latter, are too obvious to demand more than this slight allusion. To the population: along the line as well as to the Midland and Northern portions of the 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 Act is obtained, and power will be applied for to allow Interest at four pounds per centum on all calls from the time of their respective payments, and to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscription.

This Company has been constituted in Paris by the active pro moters of the French Rosamel Company for the Great North Line, for the purpose of tendering for the lease of the projected Railway from Paris to Lyons ; and as it has been thought advisable by them to obtain English co-operation, the gentlemen above-named as Di rectors in England have, at their solicitation, associated themselves with the undertaking. The line of railway has been surveyed and laid out by the French Government. It is divided into three sections. The first from Paris to Dijon ; the second from Dijon to Chalon sur Saute ; and the third from Cha lon to Lyons. The construction of the first and third of these is to be under taken by the constituted Company. The second is already in an ad vanced stage of construction, and will shortly be completed by the Government, at the charge, however, of the Company. The line is to be completed in five years at latest from the date of the adjudication. The - maximum term for the lease to be tendered for is fixed al forty-five years. The privilege of using the railway now making from Lyons to Avignon is secured, on terms of equality, to such Company as may obtain the concesson of this line. The Government reserves to itself the right of redemption at the expiration of the first fifteen years, reckoned from the end of the five years allowed for the making cf the line, at a price to be calculated on an average of the net profits of the five best years of the seven im mediately preceding the redemption. The law confers on the Company all the powers and privileges re quisite for carrying the undertaking into effect, and constitutes it a " Soceite Anonyme," or corporate body. Applications for shares are to be addressed to the solicitors, Messrs. Beavan and Anderson, 2, Adelphi-terrace; or to the Secre tary, at the offices'of the Company, 14, Old Jewry Chambers, Lon don ; and must be made by filling up and sending a printed form, which may be had at the Company's offices.

The line of Railway intended to be constructed by this Company will commence at or near Norton Bridge (a station of the Grand Junction Railway), in the county of Stafford, and proceed from thence by Eecleshall, Gilley, Norbury, Forton, Newport, Donnington Wood, Oaken Gates, Priors Lee, Stirchley, Dawley, Madeley, and Iron Bridge, to Coalbrook-dale ; there, crossing the proposed " Wor cester and Crewe Railway," it will pass along the slope of Wenlock edge, by Rushbury and Eaton-under-Haywood, to Wistanstow, in the county of Salop, where it will run into, and form a junction with the " Shrewsbury, Hereford, and North Wales Railway." The line will traverse a rich mineral district, and will have a secure and extensive traffic by the carriage of coal from the Shropshire coal-field, to a depot proposed to be formed at Wistanstow, for the supply of South Shropshire, part of Radnorshire and Herefordshire, and also from whence it will be conveyed by the " Hereford, Shrews bury, and North Wales Railway," into Montgomeryshire and the neighbouring counties, where coal does not exist. It is impossible to calculate the extent to which this traffic may be carried, as by the direct railway communication thus opened between the Shropshire coal-field, and the important manufacturing towns of Newtown and Llanidloes, the price per ton will be reduced one-half at those places, and the flannel manufacturers, now depend ing upon water power, will, by the cheapness of coal, be enabled to employ steam, and to extend their trade in proportion to the great demand which exists for the Welsh flannels, in preference to any other. The Importance of this subject will have its due weight with those who so often witness the bad effects upon the trade, caused by the stoppage of the mills from an insufficiency of water. A considerable amount of tonnage is now incurred by the Shrop shire ironmasters, for the conveyance of lime-stone from the neigh bourhood of Much Wenlock to the furnaces, by several transits of land and water carriage, whereas the proposed railway will convey it direct Into the heart of the works, and at one-third of the expense. By its junction with the " Grand Junction" and the " Hereford and Shrewsbury" Railways, this line will form a direct communica tion between Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, York and Hull, and Swansea and South Wales. Asa junction line alone (connecting as it will such important rail ways), a large passenger traffic may be depended upon, but when it is considered that the centre of the line passes through a densely populated mining district, and the remainder through a thriving agricultural neighbourhood, it will be obvious that a sufficient local traffic exists to pay a highly remunerative interest on the amount of capital required to be embarked. _ The line, which will not interfere with any property of an orna mental or costly character, will not exceed 46 miles in length, and will ho constructed at much less than the average cost. The co-operation of the principal landowners on the line has been secured, and no opposition is anticipated or can be sustained against the measure. The liability of the Shareholders will be limited, by the Act, to the amount of their subscription to the capital stock ; and power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate of four per cent. per annum on the amount of the deposit, and upon the further mils, from the d p a a t r e li o a f in e e a n e t h s p h a al p i n h e a n y t e u b n e t e il n openingobtained.
