John Bethell, Esq., King William-street, London. Messrs. Joseph and William Heron, and Messrs. Higson and Robins, Manchester That another and a more direct line of railway is necessary between the metropolis and the manufacturing districts around Manchester, is now fully admitted, and the question is, which is the best line to be adopted ? The above proposed railway will form the shortest and most di rect route from London to Manchester, and will therefore complete the direct communication with the metropolis at a much less expen diture of capital than by either of the projected London and Man chester Hues (Remington's and Ashurst's), the actual distance to be constructed being only 73, instead of 170 to 180 miles. _ _ A careful preliinina - ry survey has determined the promoters of this railway to adopt nearly a straight line from Rugby to Macclesfield, as an increased expenditure of 200,000/. or 309,000/. judiciously applied in the present perfected state of civil englneering, and at the reduced cost of the execution of earth works, will prove in the end a far greater real economy, both to the Company Itself in the saving effected in the annual expense of working, and also, what is of more importance, to the country in general, by accomplishing, at a much lass cost, the same end proposed by an entire and distinct line from Landon to Manchester. These considerations have not been sufficiently kept in view by other parties who have also proposed to make a railway from Rugby to Macclesfield, but who, by deviating from the direct tract to pursue valleys and to avoid the irregularities of the face of the country, obviously lose the advantages proposed by this Company. The Parliamentary decision on the choice of the London and Brighton Railway is a parallel case, the direct line, although presenting more difficulties to overcome, and involving a greater outlay, having been adopted by Parliament in preference to the many competing projects, in a more or less sinuous direction, which were at that time supported in the 'louse uy very influential parties. Should it be found necessary, arrangernents have been made by which additional lines of rails will be laid between Rugby and Lon don on the London and Birmingham Railway, whereby the surplus traffic northwards will be abundantly provided for. This line also possesses the singular advantage of affording the shortest and most direct route from Manchester to Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth, a feature presented by no other proposed railway. By adopting the Rugby and Oxford branch of the Great Western as far as Dideot, and thence the proposed Oxford, Southamn ton, Gosport, and Portsmouth line, the distance from Manchester to Southampton will be twenty-three miles less than !)3 , any other route, and on this account the project has been warmly supported by the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth Railway Company. The deviations from a perfectly straight line between Rugby and Macclesfield to avoid high ranges of hills, ornamental parks, or valuable buildings are very slight, and the line in general offers no engineering difficulties of any magnitude. The towns more directly interested as a local line are Nuneaton, Hinckley, Atherstone, Market Bosworth, Burton-upon-Trent, Tutbury, Ashbourne, and Leek. The Company has made arrangements with the North London Junction Railway Company, whereby it has secured the use of their station (of the extent of six acres) in the centre of the City of London, at the bottom of Moorgate-street, which will prove of the utmost importance to this line. Amidst the many railway projects that now occupy the public mind, and involve a vast outlay of capital, it will readily be conceded that a line that will attain such important results at so small an outlay of capital, and the time required for its 'construction, and without interfering with any existing vested interests, must meet with general approbation, and at the same time offer a very excellent investment for capital. The shareholders in the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Ports mouth, in !he London and Birmingham, and in the Manchester and Birmingham Railways, will have a preference in the allotment of the shares. The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share holders beyond the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament is obtained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 41. per cent. Interest in all calls. Application for detailed prospectus, maps, and shares, may be made to the Secretary, at the Offices, 78, King William-street, City, London, and at 22, Cross-street, Manchester; and the following sharebrokers : Messrs.

The Managing Committee of the Leicester and Tamworth Junction Railway Company have determined upon making an extension from their line, commencing at or near Market Bosworth or Twycross, and runniag from thence by or near Atherstone and the Whitacre Junc tion of the Midlands (late Birmingham and Derby) Railway to Bir mingham. In the allotment of shares, due regard will be had to the Interests of the scrip holders in the Leicester and Tamworth Junction Railway Company. The surveys are in progress, and the line is re ported as easy of construction, and tree from engineering difficulties. The twofold advantages offered by this project give it a manifest superiority over every other scheme which has yet been devised for traversing this rich and extensive, hut hitherto unintersected portion of the Midland Counties. The Leicester and Tamworth Junction, as originally projected, brings, by means of the Trent Valley Railway, the important manufacturing town of Leicester and the Midland and Eastern Counties into immediate communication with the mining districts and wool markets of Staffordshire and Shropshire, the great towns of Liverpool and Manchester, and the intervening localities ; whilst the projected extension affords the shortest practicable railway route from Leicester to Birmingham, and the western and south western counties of England. The saving in distance between Lei cester and Birmingham will be seen by the following scale : By Rugby By Tamworth Saving Leicester to Liverpool Leicester to Manchester .. • • 134 .• • • •.• . • 104 Leicester to Birmingham •• • • 49 •••••• • • • • 35 •••• " • • 14 The construction of the Birmingham extension in conjunction with the Leicester and Tamworth Railway gives this project an evident advantage in point of expense over any independent line from Lei cester to Birmingham ; and, taking the Inequalities of the country into consideration, a more direct line does not appear desirable or practicable, and the saving which which will be effected of more than half the expense which must attach to the construction of an inde pendent line from Leicester to Birmingham is a most important consideration. - Application for Shares may be addressed to the Secretary at the Company's offices, 4, Coleman-street, London ; to the solicitors ; to Messrs. Aston and Scott, Throgworton-street, and to Messrs. Oswin and Co., Angel-court, London. No applications will be attended to unless accompanied by a re. ference to a member of the Managing Committee, or to one of the solicitors. FORM OF APPLICATION.

The traffic report was equally gratifying —an immense quantity of heavy goods are daily conveyed to Leicester from Liver- Pool, the salt works of Cheshire, the Potteries, and the coal and iron fields of Staffordshire and Shropshire, all of which must be increased by the greater facilities of conveyance. It was unanimously resolved that the most energetic measures should be taken to carry the project into effect, and aided by the powerful influence of the Trent Valley Company, with whom the most beneficial arrangements have been made, the complete success of the undertaking is placed beyond all doubt. The capital for the Leicester and Tamworth Junction has been subscribed, the Parliamentary deeds have been executed, and the scrips issued. Arrangements are now making for the allotment of shares in the Birmingham Extension, in which due regard will be had to the scripholdera of the Leicester and Tamworth Junction Company. The surveys, &c., are in such a state of forwardness as to ensure not only the Leicester and Tamworth line, but the Extension to Birmingham, coming before Parliament in the ensuing session.

The object of this railway is to connect, in the most direct course, the important and increasing manufacturing town of Leeds with the Metropolis, the want of which has long been felt, and is too univer sally acknowledged to need any comment, and it is under this con viction that this important undertaking, after several minute exa minations of the country through which it will pass, has been brought forward. The proposed line will commence at the junction of the Manches 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 au 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 Lino 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 conne,ting 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 commtinica 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 (V 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 Ealtottt Vciantles Itallyro bob* connected h 7-4 • branch line with the East and West India Docks on th e Ter Thames, and the Railway Company having recently leased f or 999 years the extrusive •hpper Warehouses belonging to those docks, which are capable ef receiving 12 000 tons of goods, together with wharfs adjoining, where the shipment and trans-shipment of go o d s from all parts of the world can take place, is a most Important fea ture in favour of the direct communication from the manufacturing towns of Glasgow and Leeds offered by the Great Leeds and London Direct Railway, and by branch railways to the main trunk line s through which all goe Is from the whole of the manufacturing dis tricts could be conveyed at: once to these warehouses for shipment, thereby avoiding the preeent delay and expense of ca: :age, and in rearty establishing an almost direct and an invaluable connexion between the rivers Clyde and'Thames. It has been ascertained that there are no engineering difficulties, that the works will be easy, and the gradients remarkably good, and that it will not materially interfere wial any ornamental property. The Subscribers will be bell lialo , e only to the extent of their first deposits until an Ae:, of rsl.'amen.; Is obtained, and afterwards only to the amount of their sub. !,:ip. - ons. It is propo-ed 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 also to extend the line 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. Gibson, Esq., 9, Copthall-court, and Messrs.

From Oxford the Great Western Company have decided on constructing a line of rail : -- another project Under the pa tronage or 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 doubtful. 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 gridgenorth, a town enjoying an active inland trade, an.l possessing woollen manufactures and iron works, that give employment to a population of about 15,000. Pass ing through or near to Much Wenlock, Bromley, and Madeley, from Which place there will be a branch bo Shrewsbury, the line ascends - • -a COlebrook Ddig and approgehing in its course Wellington and fiiS;k enters Whitchureb, From this central place a branchtill be form, to Norwich via Stoke, fo rm i ng a j unc ti on w ith theti v erp & ol an Crewe Railway. The trunk line will continue from ilil.t2ehilrelb and passing through or near Ma'pas, have ,its northernirri4ei f city of Chester. . In estimating the probable ammint orrievAltnny4 • a Wyf,. ter and Chester Railway may b e expecte. toVliaj - 0 - ; f profit present themselves, such are the deno,s Ny . itged aldng . the length of the Severn Va.!e, and the c • niiiTi f irtlfsW4ifdlEtrY In which they are engaged. Amongst the latter may bementioned the Chinn 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 Colebreck 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. As a link in the railway network of England, or as auxiliary to existing or projected lines passing in various directions, few schemes hitherto proposed appear to afford greater inducement for investment, or a wider range of accommcdation for traffic and travelling. This project constitutes a lengthened link in the chain that will connect Liverpool with Bristol, the grand trunk of the West of England ;—its southern terminus, Worcester, Is the half way station of the London and Portdynnhlaen broad gauge line : by projected lines a direct communication will be afforded west ward to Swansea and Aberystwith, and, efts:ward, to Warwick and Northampton, Cambridge, Peterborough, Harwich, Lynn, Lincoln, and Hull. The line has been repeatedly and carefully examined by the Com pany's acting engineer, who reports that the rail for many miles may be laid on the natural level—that the gradients are in every in stance favourable—that the geological structwe of the districts to be traversed is equally so, and that the want of such a line of com munication is acknowledged by the interests seated on its proposed Course. .Applications for prospectuses and plane may be made, and forms of application for shares had at the: offices of Messrs.

The great difficulty, delay, and expense attending the trausit of passengers and goods from Kingston to Montego Bay and the inter mediate ports, either by sea or land, is well known to all persons conversant with the Islan 1 of Jamaica. The average passage by steamer between Montego Bay and King ston, occupies forty-four hours ; and the costs, including expenses on the route, amount to nearly 51. each passenger, while the quickest journey by land occupies three days, and the expenses, including horse hire, reach nearly 201. By the railway the whole line will be traversed in eight hours, at an expense not exceeding an average of 30s. per passenger. The difference in the freights between the northern and southern sides of the island and England is such, that independently of the saving of time, this railway will enable proprietors on the northern aide, after payment of the costs of transit, to ship their produce at much less expense than at present, and will afford them the advan tage of shipping at all times from the very excellent harbour of King ston, instead of being confined, as they now are, to the exposed ports of the east and north of the island. The line will commence at a spacious quay, to be constructed at Kingston Harbour, with a depth of water sufficient for vessels of the largest tonnage employed in the export trade of the Island ; at or near to which point it is proposed to form a junction with the King ston and Spanish Town Railway, and proceed thence by or near Rock Fort, Yallahs, Morant Town, Port Morant, Plantain Garden, Man chioneal Harbour, Port Antonio, Buff Bay, Annotto Bay, Port Maria, St, Ann's, Duncan, Martha Brae, and terminate at or near Montego Bay, By these means a line of interoommunication will be formed between the most important and populous places, and facility offered for carriage of the produce of the most prodactive portion of the island. Through the southern portion of the line, the physical features are gentle elevations, altnost parallel to the principal range Of moun tains which run east and west, nearly the length of the island ; the eastern portion, from Port Morant to Plantain Garden, is almost level ; while the northern runs through an exceedingly rich country, rising into hills separate from each other by spacious vales. The whole of the country traversed by the line abounds in the staple ar tcles of sugar, coffee, rum, molasses, ginger, pimento, and other spices, dye wood, drugs, &c. ; and as more than one-third of the land is still uncultivated, the production of these articles will, by the increased facility for traffic, be greatly increased ; and cotton, indigo, cocoa, &c., and dry stuffs, at present unimported, will again be brought into extensive cultivation. Timber of great variety abounds along the line ; besides the pimento tree, which flourishes spontaneously, there are mahogany, lignum vita, ebony, Spanish considerable silver e ;; elm, fine cedar, and other trees of enormous bulk. The line will w als o o od bring t. agricultural largely householdva l u ab valuable purposes,palm e ft.li ,andacabinet various works. other lea T a he or m e in i e s ra e l . w tt e e al m t e h ly of ri t e l l i t e country on impregnatednilt.heline is N-ery whilst every variety of copper ore is found in abundance. Carbonate of lime, valuable as manure, &c., of which Long Mountain is com posed, will form a considerable item in the tables of traffic. The peculiarly favourable circumstances attending the construction of this Railway render it highly probable that a considerable portion of the capital demanded will not be required, as every material* necessary for its formation is to be found on the line, and should the atmospheric principle of propulsion be adopted, the necessity for cut tings and embankments will be generally superseded. A gratuitous grant of the unappropriated land required for the line, and the free use of all the timber, stone, &c., necessary for its con struction, will, it is expected, be ceded by the Legislative Assembly ; —the mineral wealth, which may be developed by the construction of the line, will accompany the grants of the land, and may be leased to capitalists for the benefit of the Shareholders. Of the various imports, and the internal traffic, a satisfactory esti- Hoops. mate can scarcely be given —it will be safficient to state, that Coals. Fish, Lime and Salt, empty Puncheons, Shingles, Brict o., ..a Lead, Timber, Provisions, Cattle, Flour, Tobacco, Hardwares, Manufactures generally, form important lettuces of rod The working expenses of s already stated, and care per tentage, and from all the cireumstan e ce no doubt that this line of ful inquiries into the traffic, there e t an ve h i return upon the capital railway will yield a very remunerative established between the re quired, and the speedy communication of the Roy al Mail Steam Packet the railway will requir p e bet a moderate island and Great Britain, by Company, will enable the , a i nagement of the affairs of the island. efficient control over the m to make provision in the Local Act for the Directors in this country to exercise an i t rest upon the amount paid upon the The Coml i te . e pe p tr r o o r n : tr e .essiri payment of 4 of the Bill until the opening of the line.

This railway will connect the important and hitherto neglected town of Barnet with the London and Birmingham and the Great Western Railways, at or near Ilelsdon-green ; with the Northern and Eastern and the Eastern Counties Railway, at or near Totten ham ; and the proposed Direct London and Manchester, and the Lon don and York Railways. The line, in its course, will unite the town of Barnet with Whet stone, Totteridge, Highwood Hill, Mill Hill, Finchley, Holder's Hill, Hendon, Burrows, Golder's Hill, G u t terhedge, Kingsbury, Neesdon, Wilsdon, Wilsdon Green.

The distance from the town of B arnet to the station of the Lou d on and Birmingham Hallway, at Euston-square, by this route, will be 15 miles. The length of the main line, from the point of junction at Totten ham to the London and Birmingham Railway, will be 11 miles ; and j t u h n e e l t e io ng n t w h lotifiththeebrnanireihnilningshatom ai ßa ß rne h t , , a l y vill be 4% miles. From the to Chipping Barnet, 93¢ miles ; from the Decoy (near Brent-street, Hendon), on the proposed Barnet and North Metropolit an Junction Railway, to the Northern and Eastern Counties Railway, by Stamford-hill, 614 There are no engineering difficulties throughout the entire distance. The line will proceed beyond the range of the Highgate and Hamp stead Hills, and the branch from the main line to Barnet will follow the valley of the river Brent to the Intended station at Barnet : thus the expense of constriction will be less than any other metropolitan line of railway, for the above reason, and because it will pass through an agricultural district, avoiding all ornamental property and large collections of houses and buildings. Upon the completion of this railway, a large and daily-increasing population, resident beyond the limits of the metropolitan omnibuses, will be largely benefited, and land and agricultural produce, hitherto affording an inadequate return to their cultivators, will be quad rupled in value. . . The ancient, populous, and once-flourishing town of Barnet, too, will now have a railway communication of its own, without depend ing upon the caprice or uncertain goodnature of any compaly who may hold out a prospect of a branch, in future times, from some of the trunk lines now contemplated. An ample return of profit to tho investments of shareholders may be safely anticipated, and will arise from the following sources, amongst others : 1. From the conveyance of passengers. 2. From the carriage of goods and merchandise from the City and Docks, &c., to the several railways which are intersected by this line, avoiding the delay and excessive cost of conveyance through London ; also from the conveyance of cattle, &c., more particularly during the period of the large Barnet fairs 3d. From the conveyance of coal, both inland and seaborne Mel, and other commodities of general consumption, the great expense of which has long been felt by all classes as temost grievc•'r ay.,. The Committee of Management reserve to themselves the power of adopting, upon this line, locomotive power, or Presser's Railway guide and safely wheels, as may be deemed expedient. Applications for Shares in the form annexed (and communi cations from persons desirous of promoting the objects of the Com pany), may be addressed to the Secretary, at the Provisional Offices of the Company, 59, Newman-street, Oxford-street ; to the Joint Solicitors, Edward Elkins, Esq., 59, Newman-street, and G.
