PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT. rrHE MANCHESTER, HUDDERSFIELD, BARNSLEY, and GOOLE JUNCTION RAILWAY. (Provisionally Registered.) _ _ 6,t, 01 tiro - - 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 theme by way of; or near, Barnsley, to Goole. By tha proposed radtay, 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 Mid 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 \void' pass generally is of a favourable character, and presenting few (if any) engineering diffi culties ; but a survey is now being made, and, when completed, a detailed Prospectus, with the names of a most influential Provisional Committee, consisting of landowners, merchants, manufacturers, and others locally interested, will be published.

It is therefore proposed to found a Society or Company, to be called the NORTH LANCASHIRE and CRAVEN ASSII: tNCE COMPANY, under the' prov'sions of the above Act, which will give to the public all the benefits of a mutual Assurance Company, and secure to the Shareholders a reasonable amount of profit. The Company will ha organised, and Its rules and regulations de fined, by a deed of settlement, to be made pursuant to the Act re ferred to, and proper measures will be taken for the purpose of re stricting the liability of each Shareholder to the amount of his or her subscription respectively. By the Act above referred to for the registration of Insurance Com panies, not more than ten shillings per cent, is allowed to be called for until the flill registration of the Company ; consequently a deposit of two shillings per share only will be called for on the allotment.

In addition to the line above described, it is intended also to con struct a Railway from the central station of the London and Bir mingham Railway at Wolverton to Buckingham, and thence through Bicester to Oxford; and in connexion with the line here proposed, the Bedford, and' London and Birmingham Company, intend to make a connecting line between Bedford and Wolverton. The proposed nuckingliam and London and Birmingham Railway Company (for the construction of a line from Wolverton to Bicester) is amalgamated with this Company. Accurate surveys of the country have been taken by Mr. Robert Stephenson, and it has been ascertained that no engineering, difficulty of importance presents itself. '1:11e undertaking has already received the sanction and support of a very large proportion of the Nobility, Gentry, and Proprietors of land through or near whose property it is intended to pass. It is proposed that these lines should be made with the co-operation, and under the direction and superintendence of the London and Birmingham Railway Company; under a lease, in perpetuity, at four per cent. per annum on the outlay, with a conditional arrange ment as to the surplus profits. It is intended to offer the shares in such proportion as the amount of capital will allow of, to the holders of shares in the London, Worcester and South Staffordshire Railway Company, subject to the approbation of the Committee of Management, with the exception of such as may be required for parties having local interests. b - *CIO.( INGHAM and LONDON a n d M- MINGHAM RAILWAY.

The promoters of this Railway, encouraged by the favourable sup port which has been given to the project, and in compliance with various recommendations they have received, ha• - e determined upon the addition of a branch to Birkenhead, which, although it will manifestly tend to the advantage of the Shareholders and the public, will be attended with comparatively little additional outlay. The project will still retain its chief characteristic of a direct railway, and by its connexion, near Warrington, with the Grand Junction. Company, is sufficiently Comprehensive, without resorting to a com plicated system of branch lines, or materially conflicting with the In terests of existing companies. The line will commence at the city of Chester, and proceed by way of Trafford, Frodsham, and Preston Brook, to Warrington, thence by Lymm and Stretford direct to Manchester. From a point on the main line, near Frodsham, a branch will be taken to join the Chester and Birkenhead Railway, so as to unite Manchester in the most direct manner possible,, with the docks now being formed at Bir kenhead. As Manchester, from Its geographical position, is the centre of rail itchaetrio therefore, re. way communication betwee n S co tl an d an d the most populous dis trictsso Chester, f r om a like cause, is the great centre of Eng land. To connect these tw o po i nts b y a di rec t an d i n d epen d e nt line between the capitals of Ireland and of Eng a local point of view, but to the wh o le commercial intercourse of the roafirl wai al of wy ac England mmntlstui country ! ... .. be of the utmost importance, not only in „......____ This line will be the most direct route, by Holyhead, to Ireland, and will be, in all respects, by far the preferable channel of inter course and transit between Ireland and the great manufacturing dis tricts By the railways connecting Chester with Wrex m, of Shrewsbury, Hereford, Gloucester, and South Wales, this iwill wbtec England.sther t route from Manchester to the south-western parts of England, and to th e Mi nera l di s t r i c t s o f M onm o u th and Glamorganshire. The co mmun i cat i on w i t h B r i s t o l, Gl ouces t e r, and Exeter will be speedy and di rect. O n re f erence t o th e map, it will be seen that a very considerabl e di s t ance w ill b e s aved by this line, a s compared with the pre sen t c i rcu i tous rou t es by Crewe and by Bi r kenhead; the former b e i ng 52 miles, an d t h e l a tt er 46 miles, while the proposed line is on l y 3 4 m il es, sav i ng in the one case 18 ila() y ' miles, and In the other 12 miles, besides the serious inconvenience, loss of time, and expense of passin g through Liverpool, and crossing the water at that place. _ It is confidently expected that this line will he the precursor of another scheme, of no ordinary Importance—namely, to render Chester au efficient port for large vessels. This subject was entertained by Sir John Rennie in 1835, and sub sequently, in the same year, by the late Mr. Chapman, who wrote an able report upon the capabilities of the river Dce. It was again investigated, in 1837, by Sir John Rennie and Mr. George Remington, and the practicability of forming a good navigable channel for vessels of large burden, together with docks at Chestsr, was then fully and clearly established. The entrance channel would commence at Dawpool. which is easy of access (and infinitely preferalie, in point of access and safety, to the docks at Liverpool or Birkenhead), for vessels of large burden, during eight hours every tide, both at springs and neaps; and the till of the lock would be sufficiently low to admit vessels drawing 20 feet water to enter at all tides. This railway, thzrulbre, in connexion with the proposed docks, will render to Chester and Manchester incalculable advantages. To the former it will restore the proper position natural to so important a city ; to the latter it will give another outlet, by sea, to the ma nufacturing districts, free of the heavy port charges, dues, and risks to which the produce is now subject. It has not been thought advisable to combine the two objects in one company at present, but should it be found requisite, the two may hereafter be amalga mated. .........___ Merits of no ordinary degree, therefore, may fairly be claimed for this railway, whether taken in connexion with the proposed docks, or as o ther lines, with this great additi on , th a t it will be the high road to the most convenient out combining as it does all the advantages of any outport of Manchester, and will be quite inde pendentassociations or influences that might tend to oppose the gi.owofstanding growing a niy alone, idesire f 0 r a means of direct and independent communi cation between Manche s t er and the port of Chester. The line has been carefully examined. There are no difficult earth-works to be encountered ; on the contrary it will be cheap. and of easy formation.

The ELEG AN I' FREEHOLD VILLA of UNUSUAL PRETENSIONS, which ADORNS the HILL and the GROUNDS are PARALLEL with the ROAD and PASSING SCENE, ALTOGETHER 14 ACRES, ENCIR CLING the ABODE. AIR. GEORGE ROBINS is much gratified in 1-71. being selected to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart, I,ollldoll, MI THURWAY NEXT, the 111 , t of August, at Twelve, A FREEHOLD VILLA, which, it may be safely affirmed, for its size, will not yield to any. thing contemporaneous. It is, in fact, one of THE MOST DELIGHFUL BIJOUX THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE KINGDOM, and the great difficulty that presents itself to the composer is to do it justice without encountering the idea of having too highly coloured the landscape. However this arduous task shall be under taken. BERKLEY LODGE IS HALF WAY OS THE DECLIVITY AT BOUGHTON HILL, and its splendid grounds run parallel to the passing scene of this interesting road. In days of yore Boughton Hill presented a fearful obstacle to enjoy, without alloy, all the accessories this lovely spot had in store. In our boyish days it was accounted an herculean task to reach the summit, but Mr M'Adam, with his powerful mind and road-making powers, soon removed the imaginary difficulty, and that which previously was a fearful ob. stacle to encounter, is now a gentle and almost unperceived ascent. Upon this hill now dwells THE INCOMPARABLE VILLA, the property of, and completed in his usual good taste by Henry Woo!fright, Esq., of which a moderated account is to follow : THE GARDEN OF ENGLAND and the garden of Kent have been held as synonymous terms ; and it has long since been conceded to this spot, that throughout Kent, it stands unrivalled. It is first seen nestling amid the ambrosial grounds, with clumps of trees to vary the scene, stretch ing their wide and shadowy arms far across the green sward that lacompaues it. The natural beauty of this position it will not be attempted to describe, because it is fearlessly asserted that it must be seen or it cannot be appreciated; the beauties that press on the enraptured sight, strewed by the hands of Art and Nature, combined over this surface, will hold a place in the memory which never can be effaced, and ere the visit is half completed, with common assent it will be responded to by all, THAT FAIRY LAND is in view. Of the residence little has yet been said (although an outlay of 6,0001. has just been expended on its completion), and it may be well to observe that, without being encumbered with the nuisance of too large a domicile, there is all and everything that a family (not too large) can desire. It has been erected within the last seven years, and whatever can be understood by the comprehensive term " comfort" will be found to hold a prominent place here ; but WITHIN THIS LITTLE ELYSIUM, is placed a GAZEEBO of NOVEL FORM, and so ingeniously contrived that the beauteous scenery by which it is so entirely surrounded is seen with immensely increased effect. It is really quite impossible to do justice to the tact that has pre sided over this great feature of the abode. Its form is duodecagon, there are five windows, each diversifying the scene. The ingenuity that has conceived this happy effort to give ad ditional effect to the magnificent scene is unquestionable. IT EXHIBITS A PANORAMIC VIEW, THAT YIELDS TO NOTHING THROUGHOUT ENGLAND, softened by the intermixture of features the most romantic and picturesque— " Till breathless, as we grow when feeling mos ; And silent, we stand in thoughts too deep Far utterance," it produces an ensemble such as the writer of this imperfectsketch has never before enjoyed. To give an adequate representation is quite out of the question—its beauty and its loveliness altogether forbid it, but it may be permitted to observe that THE RIVER MEDWAY AND THE MORE, which is in the distance, is, at high water, on visiting terms with Berkeley Lodge. AN EIs:GLIM-1 FLEET OF 100 VESSELS has not unfrequently aided this splendid picture. To return for a moment to the demesne—the grounds are very extensive and luxuriant beyond imagination. There is not a landscape gardener that will not be proud to take a lesson here, and the Proprietor has added so much of ingenuity, and of variety, that the scene never tires—at every turn something new and beautiful is pre sented. In the centre is " AN OBSERVATORY 50 FEET IN HEIGHT," WHICH STANDS 350 FEET HIGHER THAN CANTERBURY. From this spot Dover and Gravesend are both brought within view, and the coast of France seen without difficulty. THE TERRACE WALK, THAT RUNS PARALLEL WITH THE LONDON-ROAD, is adorned by American shrubs and flowering plants without number; and to perfect this scene there are rising in majestic grandeur in the rear (of which this property includ es four acres), to p rotect the villa from the wintry winds—th e Kitchen Gardens are w ell planned, and in excellent taste, are to be s een a b out the THE SPLENDID WOO DS OF B LEAN of fruit and vegetables most ab un d ant. DisperisedlY placed , and the supply grounds everything that ingenuity and art combined could effect. I n one spot is a grotto.
