This project is wholly in dependent of any otter ii c already before the public, and as it pos sesses national advantages which none can surpass, must, when carried out, become, without exception, the most important railway in Great Britain. One of the first objects of this Company will be to obtain a meat central and accessible terminus in Loudon, and Farringdon-street has been fixed upon for that purpose. It is proposed to make a tunnel from that point to the Great West ern station, from whence the line will be continued in as direct a course as possible to Holyhead. In its progress it will pass through or near to the following towns : Ittekmansworth, Chesham, Wentiover ' and Aylesbury; it will then proceed to within a short astance of Bicester and Deddington, end from thence to Banbury ; it will touch upon Kineton or Kingtown, thence proceed onwards to Stratford-on , Avon, approach within a short distance front Warwick, Alcester, and Worcester, where it will cross the Birmingham and Gloucester Railroad near to Bromsgrove, and pr. seeding thence to Kidrerminster, Rridgnorth, and Wenlock, near to Broscley and Coalbrookdale, will enter the vale of the Severn, which it will traverse to Shrewsbury ; it will thence continue its route up the course of the Severn, and passing into the vale of the river Vyrnwy, will proceed to Llan-y-mynech, Llanrhaladr, and Mochnant, accommodating Welchnool, 03westry, and Llangollen. At this point there are three passes, which have been inspected, and it remains for the Engineer to select one as an entrance or passage into the vale of the river Dee, when the line will proceed round by Corwen into the vale of the river Al.ven, from whence it will run nearly pa,allel with the great Holyhead mail-coach road, by Pentre voelas to Capel Cerrig, it will then descend the vale of Iv ant Francon to Bangor and Hob head. This line will in its progress feed, and be also fed by the most considet•able railroads of the kingdom, particularly those of the Great Western ; the Birmingham, Gloucester, and Bristol ; the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton; the London and Birmingham; and the South Staffordshire Railway. As this last line will connect Dud7cy, Bilston, Wcdnesbury, Walsall, and Litchfield with the Derby Railway and the Grand Junction Radway, (see the accom panying map), it would be superfluous to expatiate on the advan tiges of bringing all these most important centres of the coal and iron trade and ether traffic, and the vast coal and iron fields of Shropshire, into close Intercourse, and thus establishing the cheapest and quickest means of transit between the minerals of Shropshire and the furnaces of Staffordshire, and the markets of Dublin, London, and Birmingham. The success of the urt dertaking is secured beyond a doubt, by the obvious fact that it will not only bring he richest mineral and manufacturing portions of England much nearer to the two capitals, but it will opal for the carriage of the valuable produce of these districts the intermediate country not at present possessed of any direct line of railway communication. On the other hand, the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Railway will give to London and the neighbourhood of Birmingham a route to Dublin shorter by nearly seventy miles than that of any other existing rail road; and finally, enable travellers to complete the entire distance in ten hours. It will also ensure two mail deliveries in the day. Up to the point where the line approaches Corwen, no engineering difficulties are presented. At Corwen a deviation from the straight line may by requisite to avoid tunnelling, after which a straight line will be resumed to Baagor, where that already in construction will be adopted for the rest of the route to Holyhead ; or, if found, de sirable, power will be taken in the Bill to continue an independent line by Beaumaris to Holyhead. After a careful investigation of the traffic arising from passengers, the conveyance of mineral and aggicultural produce, and the direct transmission of the mails, the Directors feel warranted in anticipating a return of at least 10 per cent. on the capital invested. A treaty is in progress with a Steam Navigation Company to run powerful steamers between the harbours of Holyhead and Kingston on the arrival of the trains, so that passengers and merchandise may be booked throughout, from London to Dublin, including all the inter mediate stations, and be thus enabled to complete the entire distance in ten honrs, without the inconvenience so painfully felt, of changing from the conveyance of one proprietary to that of another. The Railways now in active progress in Ireland, running from Dublin, north and south throughout the heart of the island, render it self evident that the chain of communication between the sister coun tries is, by this present undertaking, rendered at once complete and intimate to the last degree. As the leading aim of this company is to save time and distance, every attention of the Directors, and every advancement in science, will be made avail able to gain he utmost possible amount of speed, compatible with safety, the lines being formed expressly for this end; while, finally, the very lowest rate of fares will be adopted for both passengers and traffic, and the public will find in the improvement of the interior carriages, and some additional comforts for those of the first-class, that the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Railway will be placed in advance of any other now existing, and In all its details will be rendered worthy au enterprise so national in its character. Application will be made for a Bill to incorporate the Company early in the next session.

The vales of the Ogwr or Ogmore Fawr, and of the Garw, lying near and nearly parallel to each other, abound in minerals of the most valuable description, but owing to their secluded situation, and, above all, to the want of a cheap and easy communication with the sea, have been hitherto wholly neglected. In order to supply this deficiency, and to open to the various markets the vast resources which these valleys afford, the above connecting lines of railway have been projected, and by them com munication with the port of Cardiff, Port Talbot, Porthcawl, and every other port In the Bristol Channel, will lee effected. The length of the main line of this railway will be about IS miles, and the branches up the three valleys will be 16 miles in addition, making in the whole about 34 miles. The branches will commence from Blaenogwr, in the vale of Ogwr Fawr, from Blaenogwr, in that of the Gawr, from Blaenogwr, in the vale of the Ogwr, and will concentrate at Bryu Cethin ; from thence the main line formed by thisjunction will pass by Llanharren, and join the South Wales Railway near to the port of Cardiff. The whole district of country through which the lines will pass has already been surveyed by highly competent parties, and affords gra dients and levels of the most favourable kind. No heavy cutting, expensive bridges, or embankments, will be required, so that the cheap execution of the proposed lines Is perfectly certain. There is on the spot abundance of materials for the proper execution of the works. The project is supported by powerful local interests, and all the landowners who have yet been consulted have given their sanc tion and approval. . The rising town of Bridgend and its neighbourhood must necessa rily he greatly benefited by the completion of this undertaking, and a cheap and ready market be afforded for all their manufacturing and agricultural produce. It is intended tn form a junction with the South Wales Railway near that town. The vales present sites for ironworks; and the establishment of colleries on a large scale will immediately succeed Le formation of the road. Twenty-five miles of MI railway will pass through pro party abounding in coal, ironstone, blackband, :IA limestone, all which products have not at present any means of transit to any mar ket whatever. It is confidently anticipated that the investments in this under taking will give a handsome return to the shareholders. No subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of his deposit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his sub scription. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained the affairs of this Company shall be under the control of the Managing Committee, to whom power is given to allot the shares, and to apply the funds of the Company in payment of all the expenses incurred in its forma tion, and in the preparation of the plans and sections to be submitted to Parliament. Power will be applied for in the Act to raise any additional capi tal, to extend or abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, or enter into any arrangements, by amalgamation or otherwise, with any oth. r Company ; and power is hereby given to the regis tered promoters to nominate the Managing Committee of the Company. In the allotment of shares a preference will be given to landowners OR the line, and to other parties locally interested.

The proposed railway will commence at Rugby, on the London and Birmingham Railway, the terminus of the Midland Comities and Trent Valley Railways, and the paint to which several other projected railways converge, and will proceed through er near to Leamington, Warwick, Stratford-on-Avon, Evesham, Tewkesbury, and Cheltenham, to Gloucester. The length of the line will be about 56 miles. The advantages that will result from the construction of this line are numerous and highly important, and such its cannot fail to secure a very large amount of local and through traffic, and a highly-re munerative return upon the capital invested. By means of existing and proposed railway s, it will form a complete chain of railway com munication between the whole of the midland and north-eastern counties of Enelend, the poputouS cities and towns before-named, and the southern and western districts, and thus bring Leicester, Not tingham, Newark, Lincoln, Gaineborough, Great Grimsby, and Hull, into direct communication with the favourite and fashionable spas of Leamington and Cheltenham, the richly-productive and far-famed Vale of Evesham, and the seaports of Gloucester, Bristol, Plymouth, and Falmouth, and those of South Wales. The inhabitants and visitors of the much-frequented watering places of Leamington and Cheltenham will thus obtain a direct line between those resorts, instead of the present circuitous route through Birmingham, affording that facility of intercommunication which has long been ardently desired ; and it will also afford the Utmost fa cility of access to the innumerable visitors who, attracted as well by the beauty of the scenery as the memory of Shakspeare, annually resort to Stratford-on-Avon. To those passengers from the east and north-east, direct to Gloucester, the line from Tewkesbury, cutting off the angle of the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway to Cheltenham, will afford a great accommodation, and a saving in distance of at least eight miles, besides the delay of tile stoppage at Cheltenham. et Tewkesbury it will also form a junction with the proposed line from that place to Malvern. affording the most direct communication to the numerous visitors to the magnificent scenery and invigorating atmosphere of the celebrated Malvern-hills. To the inhabitants of the ancient and populous borough of Tewkes• bury this portion of the proposed line will prove immensely advan tageous situated within ten miles of the important city and port of Gloucester, they have nevertheless to travel by the present railway route nearly twice that distance, an Inconvenience which has already materially affected the trade, and prejudiced the , nterests of the town. The proposed line, running close to the town, will remove ' this great incon enimee, and restore its trade to its former state of prosperity. The value of this line to the city and port of Gloucester cannot be too highly estimated, as it will not only open to It immen, e sources of traffic from the whole of tile eastern and north-eastern counties, but will very materially lessen the distance between it and Birmingham, Wolverhamp`on, and South Staffordshire, making Gloucester still more securely the nearest and most accessible outlet for the whole of that immensely productive manufacturing region, and it is impossible to conceive any project better calculated to advance the interests of Gloucester, than one capable of effecting that object. Ths line will also form an important junction between the London and Birmingham and Midlands Railways, and the Bristol and Gloucester Railway, and constitute the highway for the traffic of the former, and of all the north-eastern railways. to the proposed Man chester and Southampton Railway at Cheltenham; and the through traffic from the latter source alone is expected to be very great. It will thus have the effect of connecting tile ports of tile eastern and north-eastern with those of the western and southern coasts ; of affording tile most direct and convenient access from the north and east to the vast mineral regions of South Wales, and of opening new markets for the rich products of the fertile valleys of the Avon and Severe, and the ag► icultural districts of Warwickshire and Wor• cestershire, ill the manufacturing towns and ports of the north. She line will be easy of construction, traversing, as it does, through nearly its whole length, the valleys of the Avon and Severn. Tile towns through which it will run arc very populous, and the country of the richest description ; and the local traffic will consequently be very great in addition to the through traffic, which on such a line must necessarily be very extensive. Tile Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the pcwer to amalgamate with any other company as to the whole or any part of the line, and t m vary or extend the line, and to increase or diminish the capital accordingly, if deemed expedient. The capital proposed to be raised is 1,000,000/., in shares of 201, each, upon which a deposit of 2/. 2s. per stare must be paid upon allotment. The liability of the subscribers will be limited by the Act to the amount of their respective subscriptions to the capital stock, and power will be applied for in the Act to allow interest at the rate of 41. per cent:per annum on the amount of the deposit, and upon the re speztive calls, from the date of each payment until the opening of the line. The Subscribers' Agreement and the Parliamentary Contract will be required to be duly executed when the bankers' receipts are ex changed for certificates of scrip, of which due notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by persons snaking default in due execution of th e Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract within the time to he limited by such notice, will be absolutely forfeited. Forms of application for shares, prospectuses, and a map of the line, may be obtained from the Solicitors, or the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, 28, Essex-street, Strand, London, or from any of the undermentioned Sharebrokers ; but no application will be attended to unless accompanied by a reference to one of the Provi sional Committee, the Solicitors, or a Banker : London—Mr. A.

The many and important commercial advantages presented by a 'unction line of railway between the north and south of Ireland, give the promoters of the projected line from Athlone to Sligo, with a branch to Ballina, the most unqualified confidence in its success. The proposed line, as regards both public interest and private speculation, will very much surpass any other that has been pro jected from Sligo to Dublin—first uniting with the Dublin and Galway at Athlone, it will pass in a direct line to Sligo, having a branch to Ballina, thereby affording railway communication to the great fair and market towns in the counties of Rosconimon, Mayo, and Sligo, and terminating at the important seaport and garrison town of Sligo, where it will also unite with tke line to Enniskillen, and thus form a junction between the northern, southern, and western lines, opening a continuous and the most direct railway communication between the great commercial and manufacturing towns of the province of Ulster, and the cities of Cork, Limerick, Waterford, and Kilkenny, and with Galway, and the other large towns and seaports in the south-east and west of Ireland, and also giving to the counties of Sligo, Mayo, and Roscommon. a line of railway to the metropolis. The Athlone and Slfgo Junction will receive the full support of the Directors of the Great Southern and Western, and the Dublin and Galway Railway Companies. Forty miles of tlse Great Southern and Western Railway from Dublin to Portarlington are nearly completed, and will be opened to the public in June next. At this advanced period of the year the difficulty of complying strictly with the standing orders of Parliament renders it advisable to undertake, in the first instance, but one division of the line, viz., that from Athlone to Roscommon, heinJ a distance of twenty English miles ; for which purpose a capital of no more than 200,0001. will be required. The line from Athlone to Sligo is but seventy-two miles in length. It will pass through or near the towns of Knockeroghery (at which the second largest sheep fair in Ireland is held), Athleague, Mount Talbot, Rathgar, Rdscommen (one of the largest inland markets in Ireland), Lanesborough, Elphln, Croghan (celebrated fair town), Frenchpark, Boyle, Castlerea, Ballaghadereen, Ballymote, Tabker corry, Colooney, Dallisodare, to Sligo. The preliminary surveys have been made, and the engineer, Sr! John Macneill, reports very favourably upon the gradients and facilities of construction. Advantages so important as those referred to cannot fail of giving the greatest encouragement to a line of railway which must, from passenger traffic alone, return an ample per centage on the outlay of capital. It should also be borne in mind that the proposed junction line will not only give to the north of Ireland direct and immediate rail way communication with the south, east, and west, but will Mc wise open to the great manufacturing towns of Scotland similar ac coin rnedat ion. Railways having the advantage of foreign traffic as an auxiliary, are always the most profitable—no projected line could be more op portunely circumstanced in that respect than the proposed Grand Junction, forming, as it will, a link between the northern and southern railways, it must, independently of local resources, have a constant stream of passenger traffic from the parent lines at either end, and eventually be found one of the most profitable, as well as the most useful, undertakings in Ireland. Few lines of railway are possessed of greater local advantages, Sligo, a considerable and rising seaport town on the N. W. coast at the ono extreme, supplies the whole of the interior, as far as Athlone, with the products of the western world. Its fisheries and that of the neighbouring coast are annarg the best in Ireland. The salmon fishery at Ballina, and the deep sea-fishing of Sligo and Inver Bays would alone yield considerable revenue. Athlone. at the other terminus, is a garrison town of the greatest importance, In the very centre of Ireland, from whence It must be an object to have railway communication with the garrisce a of Boyle and Sligo ; there cannot therefore be a doubt of the line obtaining the entire support of the Government. Roscommon is one of the most fertile counties in Ireland ; it abounds in agricultural and mineral produce, and has a population of 253,591 inhabitants. Its great fairs ate well known—their staple, the finest horses, horned cattle, sheep, and pigs, in the United King dom, will be conveyed by this line to the Dublin and English mar kets; and while the farmers will thus have a ready and cheap means of transport for his stock to the best markets, he will, in like manner, be enabled to supply himself with young stock from the fairs of the south, east, and west. Large quantities of bacon are cured annually in the towns of Roscommon, Castlerea, Boyle, &c., and it only re quires the advantage of railway communication to evelop the many industrial resources of the county.

Brixham and Torbay line, thus opening a direct communication with Newton, Torquay, Paign. ton, and Brixham. From the Teign it will proceed over Hovey HeathEeld near the Potteries, passing the rail of the Haytor Granite Works to Ashburton and Buckfastleigh; at the latter place it will join the proposed Totnes, Buckfastleigh, and Ashbur ton Railway, and will then continue His course by South Brent, Ivy_briege, and Plympton, to Plymouth and Devonport, bringing these important towns within five hours of London. The advantages offered by this line of railway are, that it is the most direct ; it will bring Chudleigli within nine miles of Exeter, and by joining, in the valley of the Teign, the Dartmouth and Tor bay Railway, will afford that very important line the shortest pos sible communication with Exeter and the metropolis. It is the nearest and most direct route to the important manufacturing towns of Ashburton and Buckfastleigh; and whilst affording to this large and populous manufacturing district the greatest accom modation will also open a desirable road, for either exporting r.or conveying into the interior the valuable slate, lime, and minerals found so abundantly around Chudleigh, Ashburton, Staverton, and Buckfastleigh. The promoters of this company, however, consider Its most im portant feature to be the direct access it affords to the Royal Arsenal and the ports of Plymouth and Devonport from the me tropolis, the city of Exeter, and the north of England, saving a distance of not less than twelve miles between Exeter and Devon. port; and by the connexion of this line with the Exeter and Yeo vil Railway, effecting a further saving of thirty miles in the direc tion of London and the counties of the eastern coast. This junc tion affords a still stronger point, it will put Plymouth and Portsmouth, the two great naval arsenals of the kingdom, in direct 'communication with each other, an advantage which cannot be overrates, and which no other line can offer. The engineering difficulties which have beset the South Devon Atmospheric line are confirmed by daily experience, and thus render more necessary this direct communication. The promoters of this direct boe, therefore, looking at all its features, its national importance, the accommodation it affords to the Admiralty, the fertile, densely-populated agricultural districts it will traverse, the manufactures it will revive and support, the quick access it presents to Plymouth and Devonport, with a popu. !Mien exceeding 130,000, confidently anticipate the favourable de cision of the public, and the earnest and vigorous support of the Government. It is evident this line embraces all the desiderata of a grand trunk line— viz , great public accommodation combined with safety economy, and speed. The Committee have much pleasure in stating that they have received a report from their engineers which is in all respects moat satisfactory, and that the fullest arrangements have been made for applying to Parliament in the ensuing session.

SECSZTART—WiIIISITI Ranyard, ESQ. - - _ The flrst object of this line is to connect the town of Birmingham, Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route, and to supply an important link of communication between the town of Spalding and the eastern coast with the Western and Midland districts. Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereham, Lynn, and Holbeach Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn, Witham, Castle Bytham, South Wytham, and Wymondharn, to a point on the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near 31elton- Mowbray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and 311d land Counties Railway, an almost direct route to Leicester, and thtnce to Coventry and Birmingham by the proposed Coventry, Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway. The projected line will form the most direct communicattoni b and . tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom. I cinese , via Bur means of the proposed lines across the county ton-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the inarkeotostfic;f:LbTcomlnfa,nNyorrnflesk, Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each than any other line of railway. an almost direct Ibis It will form, with other projected rai.lways, Yarmouth. via Norwich, on the east, to across the kingdom, _\ The via NoN fro • exceed t hirty miles.

The central midland districts have felt greatly the want of direct communication with the coast; and this line will at once supply the deficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire. It will afford a tratrit for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lel , cesterotlp coal tato districts heretofore entirety dependent upon supply from the north at high prices: it will also secure the advan tages of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershire works, to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, which are at present only supplied at very high rates; and, in return traffic, 'the midland dis tricts will o'-tain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk. Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which is the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, and connected by the River Welland with the German Ocean.
