SECRETARY (PRO TEM.)—Robert Coles, Esq. Temporary Offices, 22, Bucklersbury, London, - - This Company is formed for establishing works for the manufacture of rails and merchant iron. _ • The Provisional Committee have succeeded in securing for the Company productive coal and iron mines in actual operation, and a large extent f valuable mineral property, on which there is a fur nace erected, which will be in blast in two months. These properties are situated in the midst of ironworks, which are in the highest state of prosperity. At the present cost of raising the minerals, rails and bar iron can be manufactured, at the proposed works, for 4/. ss. per ton, or less ; and there can be no doubt that the iron trade will long remain in its present prosperous condition from the number of railroads now in execution and projected—the profits, therefore, of the proposed Company must be enormous. There is, in fact, every probability that the present healthy state of the iron trade will long continue, and for the reason, that the old mineral districts of Great Britain are not capable of increasing their productions to any considerable extent, many of the celebrated mines in Staffordshire being nearly exhausted; added to this, iron is now so largely applied, not only for railroads, but also to building, to naval architecture, and to such numerous other purposes, that it appears certain many years must elapse before the supply of iron can exceed the demand. _ _ • _ _ _ At the present time, although the orders for the railroads, for which Bills have liten obtained, and those for the foreign railroads now in execution, have not came into the market, yet all the large stocks of iron have been consumed. _ _ The price of merchant iron is now firm at 8/. per ton, and when it is considered that every twelve miles of the ordinary railroad, or eight miles of that on the atmospheric system, will absorb more than one blast furnace will produce in a year, it may be fairly estimated that there will be a further and extensive rise in the price:of that metal. _ _ .... The Committee have pleasure in stating, that such Is the confidence of the vendors in the undertaking, that they have signified their in tention of connecting themselves with this Company by taking, in shares, a considerable amount of the purchase-money. The Provisional Comthittee refrain from giving any particular es timate of profits, as such must, in a great degree, depend on the state of the iron trade; from reports of the engineers and mineral surveyors, however, it would appear that should the price of rails fall, even as low as live guineas per ton, yet a profit of 12 per cent. might still he relied on. The Company will be registered under the Joint-Stock Registra tion Act, which virtually limits the liability of each shareholder to the amount of his shares. . . - The first call of 21., after the legal deposit, will be payable imme diately on the complete registration of the Company in conformity with 7th and Bth Vic., cap. 110. It is not anticipated that more than 10/. per share will be required, and no calls will be made at shorter intervals than four months, and in sums not exceeding 2/. per share. The plans of the property and the reports of the engineers and mineral surveyors may be examined at the Offices of the Company.

D UDLEY and BIRMINGHAM JUNCTION RAILWAY, Combining the broad and narrow gauges, in continuation of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line. Capital 200,0001., in 10,1,00 Shares of 201. each. Deposit 2/. 10s. per Share. (Provisionally Registered.) This line will commence at thestatiOn of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, at Dudley, and run into the line of the Grand Junction Company near to Birmingham. It will traverse or pass in the immediate vicinity of the following populous manu facturing towns and places, viz., Great Bridge, Swan Village, Old bury, West Bromwich, Handsworth, and Smetbwick-, and In its course it win afford railway accommodation to a manuractorinti and minim* population of upwards of a quarter of a million. The names of the places of the proposed termini, aud the above indication of the course of the intended line, must abundantly sa tisfy every one that it presents the certainty of a lucrative traffic both in goods and in passengers. • It is almost unnecessary to speak further of so plain a necessity as that of railway accommodation for such a district. The wonder would be that the proposed line had not been esta blished long before, were it not for one very obvious and very poten tial reason to which it is owing that this rich district has hitherto been suffered to remain destitute of railway accommodation. The district has been up to this time deprived of the benefits of railway means of transit because it was one of the richest farms of the Birmingham Canal Company ; and it is to overcome the depressing influence of such a destitution that the present plan has been pro jected. The intended line will not interfere with any existing line of railway, but it will materially extend the usefulness of the several lines about to be connected with Dudley, and in particular that great mining district trunk line, the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver hampton Railway, as also the Shrewsbury and South Staffordshire Junction ; besides, it will afford to the populous districts around Dudley and Birmingham the direct benefits of fair and liberal com petition in passenger conveyance and in the transit of their industrial products to their I,rincipal market. The number of omnibuses, coaches, and swift canal packet-boats continually travelling between the termini, afford the strongest as surance of the prospect of a taro passenger traffic : while the bulky nature and vast extent of the mining and manufacturing produce of this well-known district equally vouch for that in goods; and the whole leaves no doubt but that the financial returns of such an un. dertaking must yield an ample remuneration for the capital ex pended. In an engineering point of view, it has been ascertained, by careful surveys, that the line is highly favourable, and presents not the slightest difficulty, so that altogether there is probably no line of rail way now before the public so much entitled in every way to the favourable consideration of the parties locally interested, or of capitalists in general. The former have already evinced the warmest interest in the proposed line ; and indeed it is mainly owing to urgent local suggestions that the projected railway has been under taken. No further call (beyond the deposit) will be made until the Act shall be obtained ; and power will be applied for in such Act to allow interest at four per cent. per annum on the deposits and calls from the date of each payment until the opening of the line. An influential Provisional Committee will be published in a few days. Applications for shares will be received until the 14th instant, and may be addessed to Mr. F. T.

The Provisional Committee of the North London Junction Rail way Company have great satisfaction in informing their subscribers that negotiations are now pending between the Provisional Commit tee of this Company and the Directors of the Railways north of the Thames of such a character as to assure them that the City terminus of this Company will form the Grand Terminus of all the City traffic) north of London. To effect this important object, an area of 10 acres of growad (the southern boundary of which is within 500 yards of the Bank of England) has been most carefully surveyed and valued, and the re port of the architect and engineer is of so favourable a character as to have induced the Provisional Committee to determine on purchasing the entire site, and it has, therefore, been resolved by them to in crease the capital of this Company to 1,300,000/. The Provisional Committee consider it of paramount importance to secure within the limits of their City terminus, the, amplest and most complete accommodation for the traffic of each of the railway companies who may co-operate with them, an object which will be effected by opening the very extensive and valuable space of ground alluded to, within the centre of the City of London. In conjunction with this enlarged plan, it is intended to embrace that of a branch line to the present station of the Eastern Counties Railway in Shorediteh, which will eliect an entire junction between the eastern and western parts of the metropolis ; and at the same time afford a direct communication between the whole of the rail ways, which reach London tothe north of the Thames, and give full development to each of their schemes by creating for them a common centre within the heart of the metropolis. Independently, therefore, of the almost incalculable local traffic which the position of their City terminus will ensure to this Cont- pqny, will he added that of those companies also who will eventually co-opera• e with the :Korth London Junction Railway Company, and the perfection of a project of uo ordinary magnitude and importance will be realised throughout the whole of this short but very valuab:e line of railway. lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the entire district through which this Company proposes to run this line; by this means the most casual observer will be enabled to ascertain that the environs of London, north of the Thames, will be placed to immediate communication with the City ; while the dense popu lation of the City will enjoy a feel Ry of connexion with its suburban localities, necessarily affording it the greatest accommodation. With such important local resources, therefore, together with the vast traffic on which the shareholders of this Company have a right to rely for profit, a large amount of revenue may be fairly and justly anticipated, fully commensurate with the outlay of the proposed capital. That revenue will be derived thus : The daily passenger traffic on the Great Western amounts to 3,345, one-half of which reaches the City. The London and Bir mingham amounts to 4,322 daily, two-thirds of which reach the City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,400 persons daily, half of whom pass to the West-end of London. The omnibus traffic daily is 30,894 passengers, two-thirds of which may be given to the City. Passengers from the Suburban districts reaching the City, now un aceontmodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily. From these sources the following products are derived: — Per Ann.

It will continue the important line from which it borrows the prefix of its name, wid it e n h d the Bud from Affreton, in Derbyshire, where it will be a recipient of point, the traffic from the Cromford Canal—communicating with the Codnor ironworks —along patshsethDri:tlignhgoVr nearale, and, obeying roabueoyelk7 Asthehbcoouurnrsee,oGf Glos sop, river Derwent, enter Yorkshire, in the vicinity of Saddleworth. In its course, it will 5 3 0 1 1 a ), n oestttrearma 3nd s ll h e e l fil d , el a d n dD Railwayuck en m fl , e i i l l d , b l e n reaching intersected, darsfield Canal Railway passed, near to the Rochdale station of the Manchester and Leeds Railway. It is unnecessary to stata here the character of the country from Rochdale to Blackburn : it will be sufficient to observe, that it is the seat of those manufactures to which England owes her accumulating wealth. The line will proceed thence through or near to IVhitworth and Rossendale, and fall into the East Lancashire Railway, in the vicinity of Haslingden. A branch will be thrown eat of the trunk line, from the Junction with the East Lancashire line near Haslingden, by Low-Moor iron works and Bacup, to Todmorden. The Erewash Extension will be the only direct route from the. centre of Derbyshire to the g reat manufacturi ng towns and chief . seaports of Lancashire. It will traverse a valley district adorned with the most picturesque scenery, and, at the same time, rich in mineral produce. It will conimunicate, laterally, with several trunk lines of railway, and will be fed by no less than five working canals— the Cromford—the Manchester and Sheffield—the Huddersfield—the Manchester and Leeds—and the Liverpool and Blackburn. To the multiplication of a dvantages which intersecting rail wa y s and lines of still-water navigation are compelled to afford, the throw ing out of branches from the line itself in so many directions will add still further powers of accomModation, and, when the dense popula tion in the localities traversed is considered, there is every r eason t o conclude that an ample remuneration for vested 'capital will be ob tained. By following the course of XiTgs, h, ,rat this instance, fall in with the exact direction of the projected line, highly favourable gra dients are obtained for a considerable pa - t of the length; and every other section of the country, upon a preliminary survey, has been reported as more than commonly practicable. While the return for capital cannot be questioned, and the necessities of the district de mand accommodation, the expenditure must necessarily fall below the usual amount for works of equal magnitude. To identify this project with that of the Ercwash Valley, although not included under, or belonging to the same executive, it is pro posed to allow subscribers in that Company shares in the Ercwash Extension : the number to be regulated by the interest retained in the elder project. 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 4 per cent. in terest upon all calls. Prospectuses; maps, and forms, may be had at the Offices of Hull Terrell, Esq., solicitor, 30, Basinghall-street, London ; G.

CONSULTING ENGINEER—CharIes Fox, ESQ. NNOINEEIIB. Elijah Galloway - , Esq. • James Bullivant Tomalin, Esq. This line will commence at a point on the Midland Counties Rail way, near Kegworth, and will proceed in a direct line to Nuneaton, and thus, by means of other projected lines, a direct communication will be formed between the important towns of Nottingham, Newark, and Lincoln on the one side, and Birmingham, Coventry, and War wick on the other ; and' as there is no doubt the proposed rail way between Cheltenham and Warwiak will be formed, a direct communication will thus be effected between the Severn at Glouces ter, and the Humber at Great Grimsby. At the same time, a rich mineral and_ agricultural district will be supplied with, railway ad vantages. The line will pass through a very productive district, intersecting the Leicestershire coal-fields and llmeworks, and will afford commu nication, north and south, to the Derbyshire potteries. With such an assured immediate and prospective amount of traffic, the profits on the small capital required cannot fail to be highly remunerative. In consequence of the lines in the course of formation, exclusive of those projected to Great Grimsby, that port will be rendered of the first importance, and it must be obvious that traffic from the district south-west of Warwick will be very great. The distance saved by the proposed line between 'Leamington, Warwick, Coventry, and Nottingham, will be about twenty miles ; and between Birmingham and Nottingham about six miles. As it is the shortest :route from Birmingham to Nottingham and Lincoln, it must secure the traffis from Birmingham to Notting ham, Newark, Lincoln, and the port of Great Grimsby ; and by com municating with the Erewash Valley Railway at Long Eaton. it mast command the traffic from Coventry, Warwick, and the district south of those towns to Sheffield, Leeds, York, and the north of England generally. It will also afford a direct communication between Not tingham and the district bet‘N een Warwick and Worcester, by means of the projected Worcester, Warwick, and Rugby, aid the Warwick and Worcester Railways. The entire length of the line will be about twenty-four miles. The Parliamentary surveys are now in active progress, and contracts have been entered into with eminent surveyors, which will insure ample time for a compliance with the standing orders. The engineer also reports the country to be free from all engineering difficulties, and to present unusual facilities for the formation of the line. The Committee having determined upon making provision for com pleting the whole line to Coventry, in case circumstances should ren der such a course expedient, have resolved to raise the capital to 550,0001., in 27,500 shares of 201. each. Any parties who may be desirous of withdrawing their applications in consequence of the above alterations in the project, must signify the same forthwith, otherwise the applicants for shares will be considered as acquiescing therein. Powers for allowance of interest at four per cent. on the paid-up capital will be taken, and the liability of shareholders limited to the amount of their subscriptions. TABLE OF DISTANCES.

In Retforci and Worksop—The Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Banking Company This railway project will join Manchester to Lincoln by nearly a straight line, and has been formed by an union with the Chesterfield Canal Company. One of its objects is the conversion of that canal into a railway (as far as it may be available), so as to give the most complete system of railway accommodation from Great Grimsby, Wainfleet, Horncastle, Louth, Lincoln, Gainsborough, Retford, and Worksop, to Sheffield, Rotherham, Chesterfield, Bakewell, Buxton, Stockport, Manchester, Liverpool, and Birkenhead ; also the most direct communication from east to west, with Macclesfield, Congleton, Crewe, Chester, Bangor; and Ireland ; as well as nearly direct access to the Staffordshire Potteries and iron districts of North Staffordshire; also to Shrewsbury and North and South Wales. Southward, it will give a good communication to Derby, Birmingham, Droitwicb, Chel tenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and Southampton. This line will commence at Lincoln, and go nearly direct to East Retford, Worksop, and Chesterfield, where it it will join the Mid land Railway, the Chesterfield and Sheffield Railway, and also the proposed North Derbyshire lines, which proceed direct to Manchester and Liverpool, and North Staffordshire. In length it will be about 56 miles. A section of the line will commence at Gainsborough, and join the main line'at East Retford : a branch will be made from Worksop to join the Midland near Beighton, so as to give railway accommoda tion to Rotherham and the nortern districts. This branch will take the course of the Chesterfield Canal, which it is proposed to use in its construction. _ • A glance at the map will at once show the importance of this national undertaking. In connexion with other lines it will form the most direct and valuable trunk line from cast to west than has yet been offered for public support ; it will join together nearly by a direct route the most important manufactur ng towns of Lancashire and North Staffordshire, with the rich corn-growing districts of Lin coln and Nottinghamshire, and will give to the rising ports of Great Grimsby and Wainfleet a most perfect access from nearly gi a v l e l the great manufacturing districts of the west.

Independently, however, of the local traffic, the through traffic between the ports on the east coast, and the various districts to the west, and the exports and imports which will be conveyed, cannot fail to be most productive, and to give the shareholde rs a good return for the outlay of their capital. line traverses a complete system of railway accommodationcalforth a span- To the inhabitants of the various towns and districtslvhiewhillthbies given ; and the bare mention of the project h and instrue ta n A e o g u e s ne l a r l s ur o f , s o u y p p o o f r t t h l' e r o l n i e a 1 has s l e r l e , e a r d 3 y - dire b e as e c n t o n d ry ground surveys, with a view tions have been given for the necessa ry n of Parliament, and such of obtaining an Act in the ensuing a su p n po Ta in a e r i e it in so forward a state as se to ' p o reclude the possibility of dis tiatlillowtheinotpe,rensiitwatof4 t p h e e r leiennet; and annum, from the time o Powcr will be no liability wi given.

This line of railway will commence at the junction of the Man- Railways ahe r t ß c i r ta r e w i n e g , h , the C h e c s t o e u r n tandcounty f C r c e h w e ' in e sier an a d nd Gr p an ro d ce J ed unc fr t o to m n thence through or near th e t owns o f Market Drayton, Newport, and Mifflin], in Shropshire, thence through the flourishing town of Kid derminster, to Worcester and Tewkesbury, and t• the Bristol Rail way at Gloucester. By this means it will form the most direct route from Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Hull, and Chester to the important ports of Gloucester and Bristol, indeed the most direct line from the north of England to the Bristol Channel. It will also, in conjunction wtih the proposed Hereford and 'Worcester, and Swan sea, Merthyr-Tydvil, and Hereford Railways, form the most advan tageous route from Swansea and the iro n districts of South Wales, to Liverpool, Manchester, and Hull. The line will cross th e Shrewsbury and Birmingham Rail way at Shiffnal, and the Shropshire Mineral Railway and the Trent Valley Union at the thriving town of Newport. It will form a junction with the two la tt e r railways at Newport , whereby persons and lug gage may be conveyed to Stafford , Derby , the midland counties , Staffordshire Potteries, Sheffield, and Hull and, In addition to the c arr ia ge of heavy goods from Bristol, Gloucester, Worcester, and "e Kidderminster, to anc 3f hester, I iverpool, the whole of the north of England and Scotland — will se cure a lar g e passen,ger traffic in the , district t h ro ugh which it passes. A branch will be made from New port to the important town of Wellingto". - The proposed railway win be about 87 miles In length, and be tween the two termini of Crewe and Gloucester, will save In distance at least 20 miles, and the journey can be accomplished, at the pre sent rapid rate of travelling, in about two hours. This project as a junction line, connects itself with some of the most important rail ways in the kingdom. It also skirts the large, extensive, and densely populated iron districts of Shropshire and Staffordshire, and in its course passes through a rich agricultural country. It must, there fore, be obvious that there will be a sufficient traffic to pay high rate a rate of interest on the capital required. There are no engineering difficulties In the country through which the line is intended to pass, the whole being nearly ou a level, and on reference to the map of country, taken from the Ordnance survey, which accompanies the prospectus, the line will appear straight, and will at the same time show the superior advantages it possesses, and that it cannot be surpassed by any existirx or projected lines between the same termini. It will not interfere with any ornamehi,:i. ~ , i:operty, and no tunnel ing will be required. Application is intended to be made, in the ensuing session of Par liament, for a direct line of railway (of which a survey has been made) from Southampton to Kidderminster, and by which a ready communicationwill be afforded to the most southern ports of rngland. The liabilities of the Shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions, and interest will he allowed on the deposits and further calls, from the date of the several payments to the opening of the line.
