In announeing that the Allotment of Shares is now made, and that the letters will be posted this evening, the Directors regret their inability to comply with the wishes of a very numerous and respectable body of applicants. JAMES WHEELER, Manchester. DEACON and LONG, Southampton. 19, Great George-street. 'Westminster, September 17, 1845. A deputation of the Directors, consisting of the Chairman, the Deputy-Chairman, and Mr. Pickersgill, accompanied by Mr. E. Birch, the engineer, and Mr•." Burrell, the solicitor, have just re turned from traversing the line, the course of which they declare to have been so judiciously selected, as, to use the language of the en gineers, "to avoid all engineering difficulties," while it embraces the whole of the important mineral works with which the district abounds. The engineering works on the whole length of 28 miles are exceedingly easy. • " The line (which has but one tunnel) traverses a country of such picturesque and unrivalled beauty as to have determined the Direc tors to convert, what they expected to have been almost exclusively a mineral railway, into one of the most attractive passenger-lines in the kingdom, by extending it five miles into the far-famed Vale of Llangollen. By this extension, and the liberal adoption of the system of weekly excursion, and day return tickets, the inhabitants of the densely-populated towns of Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Huddersfield, Leeds, &c., will, together with those of Birkenhead and Chester, and their localities, be enabled to enjoy the romantic scenery throughout the line, and the Vale of Llangollen at its terminus. _ _ The extent of the goods traffic which may be expected from the coal, iron, slate, and other works along the line, can scarcely be es timated ; although some idea may be formed of it from the vastness of the works, and the quantity of metal now annually shipped from the banks of the river Dee, for which the railway will be so improved a mode of conveyance, that there can be no doubt their production will be multiplied ; the working of stone quarries, and of mountain limestone, here found, but now almost dormant, will also be induced by this facility of transit. The traffic table is being taken, and the utmost confidence is felt in the result. The extension of the line to the Vale of Llangollen will render it necessary to add 100,0001. to the capital of the Company ; and it will be at the option of every Shareholder to subscribe for one additional share in respect of every five shares he may at present hold in the undertaking. The Directors propose, at the same time, to avail themselves of the favourable opportunity thus afforded of increasing the amount of deposit-money on the shares from 1/. 7s. ed. to 2/. 12s. 6d. per share, in order to satisfy the requirements of the recent Standing Orders of both Houses of Parliament: _ . The importance of the execution of the Parliamentary deeds by responsible parties makes it necessary that the Directors should reserve to themselves the right of returning the present deposit money to irresponsible holders of shares, should any such present themselves. It has also been determined to change the name of the Company from Its present less definite one to" The Birkenhead, Chester, Mold, Rhtiabon, and Vale of Llangollen Railway Company." The Committee of Direction beg to draw the particular attention of the Shareholders to the above report, and to inform them that, upon condition that they pay a first call of one pound five shillings per share on the shares held by them in this Company, to either of the undermentioned backers, on or before Saturday, the 27th inst., in order to Comply with the Standing Orders of Parliament, they will become entitled to one additional share for every five such shares, upon the farther condition that they pay, at the same time, a deposit of two pounds twelve shillings and sixpence per share on such addi tional share or shares. In default of such payments being made within the time specified, the present shares of the Shareholders in the one case, and their right to an additional share or additional shares in the other case, will be absolutely forfeited. A receipt will be given by the bankers to whom the payments are made, which will be exchanged for scrip upon the shareholders' sur render of the scrip they at present hold, and executing the Subscri bers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract, which may be signed, immediately afterwards, at the offices of the Company, and will be forwarded into the country for execution early in the ensuing month.

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 Eccleshall, Olney , NorburY, Forton, Newport, Donnington Wood, Oaken Gates, Priors Lee, Stirchley, Dawley, 141adeley, 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, Ra il wa y," into Montgomeryshire and the and also from whence it will be conveyed by the " Hereford, Shrews bury, and North Wales 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 t owns 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,f or 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 wo rks, and at one-third of th e 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. As a 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 be corstructed at much less than the average cost. Such important local co-operation has been secured, that no oppo sition is anticipated or can be sustained against the measure. The liability of the Shareholders w:._ 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 calls, from the date of each payment until the opening of tho line ; and the first deposit being paid, a further call will not be made until the Act o Parliament shall have been obtained. Maps of the line, prospectuses, sec., are to be obtained from the Secretary, the solicitors, the local agents, also the brokers, Messrs.

This short but very important Line of Railway will commence at the nearest point on the Trent Valley Railway to the City of Lich field, and proceed through a rich and populous country, by Shenstone, Sutton Coldfleld, and Erdington, to the town of Birmingham. The length of the Line will be only about sixteen miles, and a glance at the map will suffice to show the very numerous advan tages which this Railway offers. The projected " South Union Rail way," from Manchester, joins or falls into the Trent Valley Railway just below Lichfield, and, proceeding along the Trent Valley Line, via Tamworth and Rugby, will form the shortest and most direct route from Manchester to London, but will leave Birmingham on the west, which can only be reached by the circuitous route through Tamworth, a distance of twenty-five miles. The proposed Birmingham and Lichfield Railway will effect an ex tension of the South Union, North Staffordshire, and other projected Railways, from Lichfield in a direct Line to Birmingham, and thus save no less than nine miles in the twenty-five, and constitute the shortest andbost ne between Manchester and Birmingham yet de vised. As to the returns to be expected for the capital embarked, it is sufficient to mention, that in addition to the very large income aria- Ng from the local passengerd goods traffic (the latter of which is very great, as most of the a w icultural supplies of Birmingham, the emporium of the Midland Counties, and its densely populated neigh bourhood, are derived from the vicinities of, and must pass along this Line), every passenger direct from Manchester to Birmingham must necessarily proceed along the projected Railway, should either of the lines ftom Manchester to Lichfield be made. This line will also form the nearest route from Derby and the North to Birmingham. . The Capital proposed to be raised is 300,0001., in 15,000 Shares of 201. each. A deposit of 21. 2s. per Share will be required to be paid upon the allotment, to the credit of the Directors with the Bankers of the Company. No call will be made until the Act of Parliament shall be obtained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow Interest at 41. per cent. per annum, upon the amount of each call, from the date of payment until the opening of the line, and Subscribers will not be answerable beyond the amount of their Shares. The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract, which shall contain a clause empowering the Directors to amalgamate with any other Railway now formed, or to be formed, to extend or make Branch Lines, or transfer, mortgage, or dispose of the present un dertaking for the benefit of the Company, as they may deem proper, will be ready on the day fixed for the payment of deposit, and will be required to be executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for certificates of Scrip ; and the shares of any Subscribers making default in the execution of those deeds within the time limited, of which fourteen days' notice will be given, will be absolutely forfeited. No application for shares can be attended to, unless accompanied by a reference to a member of the Provisional Committee, one of the Solicitors, Agents, or a Banker. Forms of application for shares, copies of the prospectus, and a map of the line, may be obtained at the temporary offices of the Company, 60, Moorgate-street, London; from the Solicitors ; from Local Agents; from Mr. B.

The proposed line will commence at the junction of the Manche - ter and Leeds, and York and North Midland Railways, near Wake field, and will terminate by means of a junction with the Eastern Counties Railway at Bedford (to which place it is the intention of that Company to extend their line in the ensuing session of Parlia ment), and by thus availing itself as far as possible of the existing railways, will complete the most direct and least expensive trunk line, from London to Leeds, York, and Hull. It will pass in its route within an available distance of Wakefield, Pontefract, Doncaster, Rotherham, East Redford, Nottingham, Newark, Grantham, Melton Mowbray, Oakham, and Stamford. The importance of such a line is obvious, both from the nature of its course (embracing, as it does, a most extensive population within its limits) as also from the absence of any direct communication for the conveyance of passengers and merchandise. By the construction of this railway, railway communication to London will be given to Peterborough and Leicester (by means of the Syston and Peterborough Railway), to Newark and Nottingham (by the Nottingham and Lincoln line), and to Sheffield and Gainsbo rough (by the Sheffield and Gainsborough line), by a much shorter route than by any existing Railways. Independently of the advantages offered to the towns in the several counties through which this Line will pass, the Line in itself consi dered as a direct trunk line between London and Leeds, is sufficient to justify its formation, it being well known that the existing traffic between these two places would produce such a return on the capital required, as to admit of a dividend, equal to that of any railway in operation : but when it is borne in mind, that a Company is being formed for the purpose of connecting Glasgow with Leeds by means of a junction with the York and Carlisle Railway, no better line can be presented to the public, as it will not only effect a direct communica tion from Glasgow and the Western parts of Scotland to London, but would also connect Edinburgh and the Eastern parts of Scotland as well as Durham and Newcastle (by the York and North Midland, and Great North of England Railways), with the Metropolis,'which would be considerably shorter than the accommodation offered by any other Company, and when cost of construction is considered, there cannot be a doubt but that preference would be given to the Great Leeds and London Direct Railway. The fact of the Eastern Counties Railway being connected by a branch line with the East and West India Docks on the river Thames, and the Railway Company having recently leased for 999 years the extensive pepper warehouses belonging to those docks, which are capable of receiving 12,000 tons of goods, together with wharfs adjoining, where the shipment and trans-shipm ent of goods from all parts of the world can take place, is a most important a turing fea ture in favour of the direct communication from t towns of Glasgow and Leeds offered by the GreateLhe:eadisn trunk line, and London Direct Railway, and by branch railways toimth through which all goods from the whole of a se nfl fo te r tu sh ri i n p g men - se ot cartage, and in dis tricts could be conveyed at once to these Y , are _ h thereby avoiding the present delay . and exPen , reality establishing an almost direct and an invaluable connexion between the rivers Clyde and Thames. • ed that there are no engineering difficulties, It has been ascertain and the withgradients remarkably good, and that the works will be easy, any that it will not materially interfere ornamental property, T h e Subscribers will b e held liable only to the extent of their first deposits until an Act of Parliament is obtained, and afterwards only the amount of their subscriptions. to It is proposed to take power in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum on all calls until the opening of the line, and aso to extend the lino to Hertford on the Eastern Counties line, in the event of that Company not prosecuting their line to Bedford. Applications for Shares (in the form annexed) may be made to J. R.

The object proposed by this railway is, as well to supply the wants of the district through which It passes, as to complete the chitin of railway communication between the eastern and midland conntles and the western district, including the whole of North and South Wales. The country embraced by this line is of the richest description, and thickly populated. By means of this, and the existing and protected 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 moat import ant consideration, the abating of those 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 traffic 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 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 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 property, and the landowners arc 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 obtained, and power will be applied fer to allow interest at 4/. 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 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 or necessary. Prospectuses, with a Plan, will be published in a few days, and may then he obtained on application to the several solicitors, and to any of the following share brokers, viz., Messrs. Peppercorne and Co. 2, Old Broad-street; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39, Loth bury, London ; Messrs. Payne and Freer, Leicester ; Messrs. Alston and Gage, Liverpool; Messrs.

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 tcuch 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 - along 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 War wick, 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.

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 rommon terminus. From Oxford the Great Western Company have lecided on constructing a line of rail :—another project under the pa tronage 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 coast, is now no longer doubtl4l. 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 accessible 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 Wenlock, Broseley, and Madeley, from which place there will be a branch to Shrewsbury, the Nile ascends Colebrook Dale, and approaching in its course Wellington and Wens, enters Whitchurch. From this central place a branch will be formed to Norwlch via Stoke, forming a junction with the Liverpool and Crewe Railway. The trunk line will continue from Whitchurch, 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 may be expected to yield, many source s o f n such are the dense population loc a t e d a l ong profit tnd present Chester Railway the r 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 line 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 pro 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.
