The distance between Nottingham and Yarmouth by the pro posed extension will be as short as by the Lynn and Dereham and Lynn and Ely lines, while the traffic to and from the north, from the central, west, and south parts of Norfolk, the north of Cambridge shire, and the counties of Suffolk and Essex, will be secured for the united undertaking. The Extension Line will be made by the two Companies jointly, and the shares will be apportioned amongst the respective share holders of each. It is intended that the Norfolk and Grand Union Companies should guarantee four per cent dividend, with a division of profits to the shareholders of the new line. The direction will consist of an equal number of gentlemen from the Norfolk and Grand Union boards, and Mr. Robert Stephenson will co-operate with Mr. Vignoles as engineer of the line. Further particulars will be shortly advertised. By order, ALFRED BEESTON, Secretary.

This railway is intended t o commence s at the terminus of and unite with the Nottingham and Lincoln Railway, at Lincoln, and to proceed by or near Wragby and Market Raisen to Great Grimsby, with a branch from or near Market Raisen to Louth, and a branch from the main line near to and through Wragby to Horneastle. The length of the main line from Lincoln to Grimsby will be about 32 miles, the branch to Louth about 10 miles, and the branch to Horncastle about 14 miles—together 56 miles. The advantages of the line will be self-evident to those acquainted with the locality; amongst other benefits, it may be observed, that this line will form a direct and speedy communication between the port of Great Grimsby and the midland and western counties, as well as the metropolis ; and the port of Great Grimsby (which may now be looked upon as the future Liverpool of the Humber) is admitted by maritime and practical men to be the best situated northern port of England for the whole of the markets of the continental Europe. A glance at the map of Europe will show its superior local advantages. The completion of this undertaking will facilitate a passenger traffic as well as the transmission of grain, cattle, butter, wool, tim ber, stone, lime, manure, and other goods and merchandise, to and from the great towns of Birmingham, Coventry, Leicester, Derby, Nottingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and the intermediate towns and manufacturing districts, and will open the coal-fields of Nottingham. shire, Leicestershire, and Derbyshire, to Lincolnshire, and a direct communication between the midland and western counties and the port of Great Grimsby for ex ortation and importation to and from the markets of continental Europe. It will likewise render easy of access that ancient and now ‘nuch-frequented and improving sea bathing place Cleethorpes, to and from which place a large amount of passenger traffic may be relied on. being within the distance of two miles from the proposed terminus at Great Grimsby. The county of Lincoln abounds in agricultural productions, whilst it is believed an inadequate recompense has hitherto accrued to those engaged therein, by reason of which both produce and land have been depreciated in value, but now important advantages will present themselves to both the agricultural and mercantile in terest. The gradients of the line are exceedingly favourable, and the expense of construction will be unusually low; the promoters have therefore every reason to anticipate a most satisfactory return for the capital to be invested. The plan of this Company also comprises one of great national in terest, when viewed in connexion with other improvements of the Port of Great Grimsby, and the formation of a harbour of refuge for the German and Baltic Seas. The Committee of Management have much pleasure in announc ing to the public that this undertaking has the cordial approval and support of the Midland Railway Company. Application will be made for power to allow interest at the rate of 41. per cent. on all deposits and calls paid up, and for restricting the liability of shareholders to the amount of their respective shares. All ornamental property on the line will, as far as possible, be re spected. A reservation of shares will be made in favour of parties locally interested or otherwise. Prospectuses may be had, and applications for shares, in the form annexed, containing a reference to a member of the Committee of Management or a Banker, are to be made either to the Solicitor to the Company, the Local Agents, or the Secretary.

Watts, Galsworthy, and Galsworthy, 19, Ely place, Holborn SECRETARY—SamueI Stanway, Esq. The first line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the Loughborough station on the Midland Counties line, and pro ceed through the Vale of Sheepshead, to Pegs Green Colliery, near to the terminus of the Leicester and Swannington Rail way, and from thence through the coal-fields of Swannington and Cole-Orton to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. It will thence proceed across the Moira Coal-field and through the rich agricultural districts of Seal,Clifton Campville, and Edingale, to the Birmingham and Derby Railway, which it will cross near to Elford Park Farm, and thence traverse the Valley of the Tame until it reaches Alrewas, where it will form a junction with the branch of the Trent Valley line now in progress of making. At this point it also meets the proposed South Staffordshire line, by which means it reaches Lichfield, and by means of one of the proposed li nes it w ill aff or d c o mmun i ca ti on with'Bir mingham. From Loughborough the line will be further continued to A sfordby on the Syston and Peterborough Railway, now in progress, and by means of this latter line, a direct intercourse will be opened with Melton Mowbray and the various towns through which that route passes to Peterborough. By its junction with !the Trent Valley line at' Alrewas, the Grand Trunk reaches Colwich, and there meets the proposed North Staffordshire line, which proceeds through the heart of the Potteries to Newcastle-under-Lyne, Leek, and Macclesfield. By means also of the same Trent Valley line at Alrewas the Grand Trunk pro ceeds through Rugeley to Stafford, thus completing its route, and forming a connecting line between the Midland and Grand Junction Railways. This branch of the line was formerly surveyed by Mr. Rastrick, and approved of by him as a canal communication, so that no engineering difficulties exist. The second line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the Derby station, and taking the course of the Derby Canal proceed to Chellaston, where there are extensive plaster-works, and thence by Swarkestone to the river Trent, which it will cross near to the ferry at Weston Cliffe, and so proceed to Kings Newton and ' Melbourne. From the latter place it will pass by the village of Wilson to Breedon-on-the-Hill, where there are extensive lime-works, and thence proceed by Staunton Harold, communicat ing by a branch line with the lead, lime, and coal works there ; thence by the Lount Colliery to Worthington Rough, where it will follow the line of the Cole-Orton and Swannington Railway until its junction with the first line of the Grand Trunk at or near the Pegs Green Colliery, and so proceed from thence to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. At Ashby-de-la-Zouch the Grand Trunk forms a junction with the proposed Nottingham and Birmingham, and with the proposed Great Blanchester, Rugby, and Southampton Railways. Its importance as a line for passengers is too obvious for comment, forming as it does a complete junction between those two great thoroughfares, the Mid land and Grand Junction Railways, and by its branch from Derby to Ashby-de-la-Zouch another complete junction between the Great Northern and Southern lines now in progress, thus opening a direct line of communication to all parts of the kingdom. As a line for traffic, the Grand Trunk will form the most direct transit to the Leicestershire, Staffordshire, and Shropshire iron and coal fields, to the Burton breweries, to North and South Wales, and Ireland to Scotland, and all parts of the north, and to the eastern, southern, and western parts of the empire. It will also be the nearest and most direct communication from the east to the north western manufacturing districts, as well as become the great route from all parts of the kingdom to the midland counties of England. The mineral resources are of the very highest order. The Moira coal-field is inexhaustible, whilst the coal-beds at Staunton Harold alone comprise the finest quality of Kennel to a depth of seven feet, with a super stratum of main coal to a depth of six feet. The sub stratum is yet to be worked. There are beds of Kennel and main coal at Cole Orton of equal quality, though not of equal depth with those of Staunton Harold, whilst the main coal at Swannington is un rivalled, being, in fact, the bowl of the Leicestershire and Derbyshire coal strata. It is needless to describe the beneficial results which must arise from this opening of the midland coal district to the Lon don and southern markets. At Staunton Harold and Calke exist rich veins of lead ore, now in full course of working. The properties of the Breedon, Staunton Harold, and Ticknall lime aro so weil known to agriculturists and others, that an extension of traffic for so valuable a commodity into mare remote districts must be of the utmost importance to the practical farmer. In approaching the Trent, on leaving the lime district, the Grand Trunk will fall in with most valuable quarries of millstone grit, ser viceable for paving and building purposes, and for which a ready market would be found along the line.

In consequence of modifications of this line, rendered necessary by the decisions of Parliament in the late session, and of the increase of the Parliamentary deposit required by the New Standing Orders, the Provisional Committee find it necessary to call in the scrip hitherto issued, for the purpose of replacing it by new scrip, to require an ad ditional deposit of 12s. per share, and to cause new deeds to be pre pared for the signature of the Proprietors. Parties to whom scrip has been Issued are acconlingly requested to send in their scrip, on or before the first day of October next, to the Secretary. New letters of allotment will at once be Issued to such of the present holders of scrip so sent in, as were original subscribers for their shares; but where the scrip has changed hands, satisfactory references as to the responsibility of the holders will be required by the Directors before new letters of allotment can be issued ; on the additional deposit being paid (in accordance with the new letters of allotment), and the new deeds being executed, the new scrip will be issued. On and after the 10th of October next, the present scrip (unless it shall have been sent In to the Secretary, and received by him pre viously to that day) will be considered as cancelled, and the shares It represents will be re-allotted. Parties sending scrip are requested to write their names across each scrip certificate for the sake of security, and to send by a post letter, at the same time that they send their scrip, a list of the numbers of the scrip they have dispatched, with their own name, residence, and (if necessary) that of their references, attached in full to the end of such list.

At this lat ter place a communication will be formed with projected lines f rom Manchester and Sheffield to the port of Goole; and by this arrange ment a communication will be opened with the inexhaustible coal fields of Elsecar and Sllkstone—a species not inferior to that of Dur ham and Sunderland—as well as with the limestone quarries at Warmsworth, so valuable for building purposes. Proceeding to Thorne, the line reaches Snaith, and, continuing its direct course westward to Selby, near to which it is crossed by the Hull and Selby Railway, 'will have its norther n t erm i nus at the city of York. At Thorne, or some convenient point near to it, an auxiliary line will emanate from th e ma i n trunk to Askern, and either by means of the proposed bra nc h t o the Wakefield, Pontefract efract and Goole line to that place, or by an independent course, as may hereafter be deter mined upon, will run through Pontefract' direct to Leeds. By this means the whole of the manufacturing districts of the West Riding of Yorkshire and Lancashire will be rendered easily accessible. This line will be the shortest between Lincoln and York ; Lincoln and Leeds ; Lincoln and Selby ; York and Selby ; and York and Hull.

This Line will join the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway at Chepstow, and extend westward near to Piercifield, the far-famed Win &M , and Tintern Abbey, to the towns of tisk and Pontypool, and over the centre of the great iron and teal field of South Wales, passing near to and through the midst of the extensive Iron works and collieries of Monmouthshire and Glamor ganshire, to join the Aberdare branch of the Taff Vale Railway, which connects Merthyr Tydvil and Aberdare with Cardiff—thus torming a much more direct and almost straight Line—by means of the railways already made and projected between those immensely populous districts, and the centre of the kingdom and London, by means of which the journey by land will be shortened between the metropolis and this great seat of industry to four and a half, and between Newport and Cardiff to five hours, which at present, even by the aid of existing railways, cannot be performed in less than from ten to twelve hours. It will be found by reference to the official census of 1831 and 1841, that the average increase of population of the county of Mon mouth exceeded that of any other county in England or Wales ; this fact is referred to as illustrative of the rising importance of the country through which this railway is intended to pass, and of the very large passenger traffic which may reasonably be calculated upon. The town of Usk, with Ragland, and the rich agricultural district for, many miles around, are supplied by carts from the vicinity of Pontypool with coal and lime, which are there obtained at a cheap rate, and in return cattle and provisions of all kinds, hay, corn, and pit timber to an enormous extent, are sent to the iron works and collieries, where the consumption is immense. This traffic alone must necessarily ensure a considerable revenue to the Company, in dependent of the great traffic from the manufactured iron, fire bricks, and paving stone, which is of superior quality, and in great abundance. The present cost of conveying and delivering iron and tin plates from the works to London, including transit to the port, shipping charges, freight, and insurance, amounts to little less than 20s. per ton, whilst by this railway, and those it is intended to join, the average cost at the rate usually charged for such goods on rail ways will effect a saving of at least 25 per cent., and be conveyed within twenty-four hours, instead of the average voyage round the Land's End of three, and not unfrequently six weeks, and with the very important advantage of delivering the iron free from rust, which is unavoidable on a sea voyage, in small bars more particu larly, causing a deterioration of from 15s. to 20s. per ton at least. This railway, by means of the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction, and the Birmingham and Gloucester Railways, will open Birmingham as a market for the manufactured neon of South Wales, from which it has been in a measure excluded, fronl tke difficult and expensive transit by the River Severn and Canals. Large quantities of iron ore, known as " Hsematete ore," is imported Into Wales, from Lancashire, Cumberland, Devon, and Cornwall; whilst ore of a similar quality, and equal productiveness for iron making, exists in abundance in the Forest of Dean, and may be raised an 3 delivered from thence by means of this and the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway to the different iron-works in Monmouthshire and Glamorganshire at an average of from 25 to 30 per cent. less than it costs at present, and at the same time leave a handsome remuneration to the Railway Companies. The Committee of Management have gone very carefully into estimates of the goods traffic especially, and they feel justified in expressing a decided opinion that the revenue from this source alone will yield 5 per cent. on the proposed capital of the Company, in addition to +he revenue to be derived from the other traffic. This Railway will pass close to, and within a few miles of, all the iron and tin wok of Monmouthshire, and the principal part of those in Glunorganshire ; and the following short statistic of the extent of those stupendous undertakings will give an idea of the vast importance of the present project. The iron and tin works com mence at Pontypool, and are 1. The Pontymoile Tin and Iron Works 2. The Blaendare Iron and Coal Works 8. The extensive Tin Works of Messrs. Conway, Messrs. Pother gill, and Messrs. Jenkins 4. The Pentwyn, Golonos, and Yarteg Iron Works and Rolling Mills 5. The British Iron Company 6. The Blaenavon Iron Company 7. The Nantylylo 8. The Coalbrooke Vale 79.

Added to which, in the vicinity, are tie extensive works and collieries in the Aberdare Valley, and on either side :of the intended railway are collieries raising and vending about one million and a half tons of coal per annum, which it is not unreasonable to ex pect will be greatly extended, by the facilities offered through the intended railway. . . In the districts of Merthyr, Aberdare, and westward, there exists an inexhaustible abundance of a peculiar description of coal, which, though inflammable, is nearly smokeless, and is found to be superior in quality for steam purposes to any yet known. In the London market it meets with a ready sale at 30 per cent. higher than any of the best north country Hartley's ; and notwithstanding the high price, so highly is it esteemed, that the present importation amounts to nearly 100,000 tons per annum. This coal for the most part is Vrought from a distance of 24 miles, and shipped at Cardiff, from w h'.nee freigkts to London have averaged from 10s. to I Is. per ton luring the past year; but so uncertain is the supply to the metropo lis, ow i, , g to the scarcity of ships on the Welsh coast, and the long and pr„as:ous navigation round the Land's End, that many who are anx i ous t o so :opt their engine grates for its use, are deterred from . . the too great iii:certainty which exists against obtaining a regular and constant supi2ly ; these difficulties will be entirely superseded by the proposed railway : and those it Is intended to join, with the great additional advantage ui►d impetus to Increased use and consumption, that it may be delieert to the consumer at from 2s. to 3s. per ton less price than at prese.V. Under such circumstances, It will not appear unreasonable to Ukase unacquainted with the trade, to expect that the consumption in the metropolis alone will be increased four fold, whilst a new-fettud trade will be opened out with Chepstow, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Witney, Oxford, and the numerous inter med:ate towns to London, where steam coal is used. It has been considered more judicious to form a separate Company for the Extension line trona Chepstow to the Taff Vale, than to alter the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway Company at present, but powers are proposed to be takenfor uniting the two Companies hereafter, with the assent of their respective Boards of Direction. . . . . Preference will be given to those locally interested, and to the holders of Shares in the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway. A reference to the map will show the importan."•4 of this line as forming a direct line of railway communication between the great mineral district of' Monmouthshire and Glamorganshife, with the heart of the Kingdom and London. It may confidently be stated that in connexion with the Chep stow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway, there is not a line of railroad L the Kingdom which offers greater LAdvan tages to the Shareholders than the present. Provision will be made in the Act of Parliament which will be applied for in the next ses sion to limit the liability of the Shareholder to the amount of his shares, and to allow four per cent. on the calls. 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 fluids of the Company in payment of all the expenses incurred in its forma tion, and in the prepar atiou of the Plans and Sections submitted to Parliament. Power will be appli ed for in the Act (and in the meantime IS hereby given to the Ma aag,ing Directors as above), to raise any addi tional capital, to extern l or abandon any branch of the line, to make branch lines, or enter (into any arrangements, by amalgamation or otherwise, with any other company or companies, and also to nomi nate the first Directors If the Company.

The importance of connecting remote parts of England by Rail ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns and districts, can scarcely be better exemplified than by the Line which is now proposed to form a short and direct channel of inter course between Oxford and Salisbury. Numerous projected lines now before the public will make Oxford at the north, and Salisbury at the south of the intended Railroad the central points from which various radii will diverge to the north-west, north, and north-east of the former, and to the east, south, and west of the latter; and the proposed Line from Cambridge to Oxford, continuing to that city the course of Railway from the north-eastern parts of the island, requires the appliance now suggested to effect a complete means of transit to the western and south-western counties. The Oxford and Salisbury Direct Railway, in addition to the benefits which will he conferred upon the nation at by preferring a direct line of communication be tweed the north-eastern and western and south-western parts orfket England, will afford to th e b oroug h o f Abingdon, towns of Wantage, Hun ger f or d, an d L u d gers h a ll, an d districts in which they are sea t e d s t an d i n mac h nt h he e ee adjacent 7 aid ui will villages, an important rail wa y accommo d a ti on , o f w hi c h provide a facility for the int erc h ange o f produce tdriieuirllio be tween the rural, manufacturing, and commercial population of the kingdom. The want of railway accommodation has long been felt to press unfairly upon the inhabitants of the important and thriving town of Abingdon. Their means and opportunities of competing with the more fortunate traders of those towns which are already provided with di rect channels of transit, are thus severely crippled. The same remark applies in some degree to the market town of Wantage, which, as well as Hungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits and advantages produced by railway traffic. It has therefore been determined to commence the proposedli ne at Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdon to the station of the Great Western Railway at Steventon, thus giving to Abingdon a direct rail road to London. By continuing the projected railway to Wantage, the same facility of transit to London will be afforded to that place; and a perfect line of road from the north-eastern counties will, by a junc tion with the projection from Cambridge to Oxford, be produced, thfough the towns which have been named, Hungerford and Ludgers hall to Salisbury, and thence to time south and western ports and dis tricts. A map of the line, and a statistical report of the whole country intended to be traversed, is in course of preparation , and with the names of air influential provisional Committee, will very shortly be published. In the meantime, further information may be ob tained from Isjessrs.

Power will be taken in the Bill to allow interest at the rate of four per cent. on all deposits. The plans and sections of the Lincoln, York, and Leeds Company, being now in the possession of the promoters of this Company, an immense saving of expense will thereby be secured.

By order, HENRY CASSIN, Secretary (pro tem.) 3, Church-court, Old Jewry, Sept. 24, 1845. WARWICK AND CHELTENHAM JUNCTION RAILWAY, via Stratford-on-Avon and Evesham. This Railway Company was formed and registered in March last, its object being to complete the chain of railway communication from the north-east to the south-west. Commencing at Leamington it communicates with the London and Birmingham Railway at its station between that town and Warwick ; proceeding by Warwick to Stratford it will there join the railway to Moreton-in-the-Marsh, and at Evesham connect with the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton broad-gauge line, and from Evesham it will proceed to Cheltenham. It will thus form the most direct route to the two largest and most fashionable inland watering-places, Leamington and Cheltenham ; besides which it will materially shorten the distance by railway be tween Warwick, Coventry, Leicester, Melton, and the east, and Worcester, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Tewkesbury, Bristol, South Wales, and the west ; it will also furnish local accommodation to new and important districts. A considerable time having elapsed since the formation of the Company, the Directors consider it to be their duty to inform the Shareholders of their present position and prospects, and they have now to report— . _ That their engineer has completed his survey of the line, which not only proves to be free from any material difficulty, but is re markably easy of construction, going along the valley of the Avon the greater part of the distance. They have concluded arrangements with the promoters o fthe Evesham Valley Railway, under which the projected Evesham Valley Company is incorporated with this Company, and powerful local in fluence is thus secured. They are also at the present time engaged in negotiations, which they are sanguine will secure very influential co-operation, both local and otherwise. The Shareholders are doubtless aware of the great interest caused by the question of the broad and narrow gauges situated between and communicating with important lines constructed on both gauges ; this subject must, of course, claim the serious consideration of the Directors of this line. The various and, in some respects, conflicting interests and circumstances connected therewith must be duly weighed before a final decision can be arrived at. The Directors have the satisfaction to state that everything is in such a state of forwardness as to ensure all the preliminary stem being taken in due time, and that they continue to have unabated confidence in the capabilities and value of the line. Its cost of con struction will be much below the average, whilst its through traffic in passengers, goods, and minerals, will be large, and its local traffic between the towns of Leamington, Warwick, Stratford, Evesham, and Cheltenham, and their rich agricultural neighbour hoods, will be such as of itself to secure a good return for the out lay incurred. These considerations must undoubtedly command a favourable issue to their application to Parliament next session. Signed by order of the Directors, It. HARTLEY KENNEDY, Chairman.

The object of this line of Railway is to complete the chain of coast communication, and form a connexion with lines already established or projected with reasonable hopes of success. 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, Dmis, Gort, Loughrea, Athenry, Monivea, Tuam, Ballinrobe, Castlebar, Westport, Foxford, Ballina, 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 completeness 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 o ex coal fields, whose advantages it will extend to all parts of c. extensive coal lanesealught and Ulster; and intersecting, as it does, so ninny metropolitan t of railway, it will develope those advantages in an e qual degree to the province of Leinster. reh T d h e e red lea a d N , ,a ir ila o h n ie rt O s n of its th r e ou i t s e l ' an7l l , ll ai b id e peint of view, will be perhaps not the least advantage, m to arb tl l l , most a Ptheme north and that of nthe sldiaatsetanaw.ttolornpkaas with, Scotland, within the easy reacts the establishment of an intercoe_zirstrneenb,:tswonetel7, t a li , e i, p .e o l p l ualsaptiloancinogf the trade ot; and communication in Ireland.

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 the 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 Ad—and in the meantime is hereby given to the Committee—to alter the capital, if necessary ;to vary 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 i,rem 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.
