Burton-npon.Trent— SECRETARY d Hart Hart, Esq. 'OFFICER—No. 1, Royal Exc —Edwar change-buildings, London; and 36, Upper Temple street, Birmingham. It is proposed by this Company to establish a direct line of commu nication between Birmingham, Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hun, et the smallest outlay of capital, and with the least possible injury to *Elating interests. To effect this object, use will be made of existing or projected lines, as far as practicable, and the chain of communica tion will be completed by throwing out new lines, where requisite. Commencing at Birmingham, it is proposed to use the Birmingham and Derby Railway as f ar as Whitacre, whence a new line, about 29 miles in length, will be made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Castle Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid land Counties Railway The communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will be carried forward as far as Gainsborough, either by the proposed Not tingham and Gainsborough Railway, or by a line springing out of the line from Nottingham to Lincoln, for which an Act was obtained by the Midland Counties Company during the last session of Parliament. From Gainsborough this railway will proceed to Barton-on-the- Humber, or New Holland, in the Immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby rendering complete and entire the chain of communication between Birmingham arid Hull. By this project the advantages will result to the public of a Direct line from Birmingham to Nottingham, Birmingham to Gainsborough, and from Birmingham to Hull; and by means of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Railway, and the intended extension to Ashby-de-la-Zonch, a direct line from Wolverhampton to Nottingham, and the other towns already enu merated. The support of several companies will be enlisted in favour of the lice, which, together with its own merits, will ensure its success in Parliament. As a considerable portion.of the line of communication is already made, or in progress, the time required for the completion of this great national undertaking will be materially shortened. Independently of the advantages to be derived by a direct commu saltation between the important seaport of Hull and the mining and manufacturing districts of Warwickshire and Staffordshire, a large traffic in timber, corn, metals, &c., may be confidently expected. The revenue of the Company, in addition, will be derived from the great thorough traffic front Birmingham and the midland counties to Nottingham and Gainsborough, and the immense traffic from Bir mingham to Hull, the port at which the exports are shipped to Ham burgh, the German States, and the North of Europe; and from the conveyance of merchandise, agricultural produce, and cattle from the Southern, western, and midland counties. A preference will be given in the allotment of shares to landowners on the line, and other local proprietors, as well as to directors and shareholders in railways interested in supporting this undertaking. No subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of the deposit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. The usual power will be taken to allow interest at the rate of four Of perthe centl ine.. from the time of p a y ment upon each call until the opening No applications will be attended to without a reference to a ,member of the Committee, a banker, or the solicitors to this Company. The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip certifi cates, cf which due notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by any party making default in the execution of those deeds will be for feited . Plans and prospectuses, with forms of applications for shares, may be had of the Solicitors, and of the following Stock and Sharebrokers, viz.: —Messrs. Wells, Westropp, and Prinsep, 75, Old Broad -street ; H. Pritchett, I, Royal Exchange-buildings ; Messrs. Hitchins and Harrison, 18, Thre wlneedle-street ; and Messrs.

SECRETARY--John Trevor, Esq. This railway will commence at the important town of Wolver hampton, proceeding through or near to Seisdon, Trysull, and Cla verly, to the manufacturing town of Bridgnorth : from thence it will continue through a rich egriculturid and populous district to Lud low, and there fall into other projected lines to all pans of England, North and South Wales, and Ireland, a distance of about thirty-two It will afford direct communication between Ludlow, Bridgnorth, and Wolverhampton, Dudley, &c. ; and, by the South Staffordshire Junction Railway give to those towns and districts the most direct route for passengers and goods to and from the Central, North Eastern, and Eastern parts of the Kingdom, and from which those towns have hitherto been excluded by every project of the day. It will convey to the agricultural districts of Herefordshire and South Shropshire, and also to the towns of Bridgnorth and Ludlow, coals and the mineral productions of Staffordshire, Worcestershire, an I the Clee-hills, at nearly one-half the present cost of those neces sary articles, and be the means of conveyance for corn, cattle, sheep, cider, wool, hops, and other agricultural productions, as also timber from the before-mentioned agricultural counties, to the heart of the mining and manufacturing districts, which cannot fail to produce an immense traffic. To the towns embraced hi this line, the value of obtaining thereby, at the cheapest rate, coal and the necessaries of life, will be of the utmost hnportance. One principal feature in this projection is, that as either Ludlow or Bridgnorth will lie in the direct route of one of the projects to be pro posed to Parliament in the next session, for the most direct commu nication between Ireland and the Metropolis, this line will thereby afford to passengers the easist communication to and from the central parts of the kingdom. It is satisfactory to the promoters to state, that they have the sanction of the Grand Junction Company, and the co-operation of the Shrewsburyf Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire Junction, and the South Staffordshire Junction Companies, and that no project has been announced in competition with its acknowledged claim on public suoport. The whole line is free from engineering difficulties, and can be con structed at a moderate cost, and has obtained the approval of the landed interest, whose ornamental properties have been strictly protected. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the company will be under the direction and control of the Committee of Management, who are hereby empowered to enter into such ar rangements as shall best serve the interests •f this Company and the public, with existing or projected companies, and also to nominate the first directors of the Company. . . Power will be taken under the Act to limit the responsibility of Shareholders to the amount of their subscription, and to allow four per cent. Interest on the calls. Preference to the allotment of shares will be given to those locally Interested, and to the shareholders of lines in connexion with this. No applications for shares can in any case be attended to, unless reference be made to one ofthc Provisional Committee, the Solicitors, Bankers, or Brokers of the Company.

This line of railway commences at Ashfordby, on the Syston and Peterborough Railway, and pr.ceeds to Loughborough, on the Mid land Counties Railway, and thence through the Vale of Sheepshead to Peg's Green Colliery, near to the terminus of the Leicester and Swannington Railway, and thence through the coal-fields of Swannington and Cole Orton to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. It will then proceed across to Moira coal field, and through the rich agricultural districts of Seal, Clifton, Campville, and Edingale, to the Birmingham and Derby Railway, and thence proceed to join the Trent Valley Railway, thus completing the route to Stafford. At Alrewas it forms a junction wift the South Staffordshire line, by that means reaching Lichfield. By the junction with the Trent Valley, and by means of the North Staffordshire line, it will afford a direct communication with the Potteries, Newcastle-urder-Lyne, Leek, and Macclesfield. This railway will supply the link in the great chain of central com munication, east and west, and has met with great local support. By order, J. STANWAY, 3, Adelaide-place.

GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY. forming a connecting line between the Midland and Grand Junction Itailways. Notice is hereby given, that the Letters of Allotment are posted, and the Committee of Management beg to state that they have been compelled, in consequence of the immense number of applicants, to limit the Allotments in all cases, and entirely to pass over many ap plications which they would otherwise have been pleased to attend to. By order, SAMUEL STANWAY, Secretary, pedition than if transmitted to Calais, a sea passage of only 24 miles, and usually made in two hours. The traffic and expenditure may be fairly estimated as follows From 50,000 passengers, who, according to the recent re turns from Ostend and Antwerp, annually visit the Conti nent and return by this route, say, from each, on an ave rage, 10s. each way • • • • • • • • • 1-50,000 For the transport of mails from the respective Governments 10,000 Local traffic in goods and passengers .................... 50,000 £llO,OOO Deduct the expenses of working the line, calculated at • ... 30,000 £BO,OOO Thus leaving a profit of 10% per cent. to the shareholders, with every irospect of a considerable increase annually in the traffic, as has been by experience proved to be the result on all the other lines in operation in Belgium, as well as other countries. The projected railroad would pass through a perfectly level tract of country rich in agricultural productions, presenting no natural impediments to its construction, and would require neither tunnels nor viaducts ; and the only bridges necessary would be the spanning of a few dykes. Thus the construction would be unattended with heavy expense, and its working, when completed, of the same eco nomical character; for, as experience has shown, the most consider able item in working a railway is the supply of coal for the locomo tives ; the proximity to the port of Dunkirk, and the easy access to the Belgian coal fields, obviate this difficulty. This line, which has been already examined by an eminent engi neer, will be about sixty miles in extent from one extremity to the other ; will connect In Its route the towns of Calais, Gravelines, and Dunkirk, its France, with Furness, Nieuport, and Bruges, in Bel gium ; thus securing a very important local traffiC in goods and pas sengers, independent of the foreign traffic before alluded to, placing the possibility of its paying beyond all doubt. Arrangements are in progress and strongly supported by persons of the highest infincnce both in Belgium and France for obtaining the consent of the Belgian and French Governments to the. above line ; and as it is so obviously advantageous to the former Government to encourage the formation of a line, bringing two such important capitals as Brussels and London within ten hours distance of each other, and the intention of the latter to encourage the formation of a continuous line of railway round the coast, little doubt is entertained by the Direc :ors in Belgium, France, and England, of such applications proving successtid. In the event of the applications proving unsuccessful, the deposits will be returned, with the exception of a charge on each share, not exceeding five shillings. • and the offic es o f th e so li c it ors, 5 , Basing hall-street; for prospectuses and form s o f app li ca ti on may be made L on d on —M ess rs.

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT. - _ CAMBKIDGE and COLCHESTER RAILWAY: Capital 800,000/.:in:I0,000 Shares of 201. each. Deposit 21. 2s. per Share. This Company has been formed for making the above line of rail way, and a list of the Provisional Committee, containing most Intiu• ential names, will appear in a few days. This railway will commence at the University town of Cambridge, and proceed from thence to Colchester, passing through or near the towns of Linton, Haverhill, Great Yeldham, Hedingham, and Hal stead, proceeding by Thorp and Weeley to Walton-on-the-Naze. On reference to the map, it will be seen that this line will pass through a part of the country at present unprovided with railway ac commodation, and bring the town of Cambridge in close connexion with Colchester and the fast improving seaport town of Harwich, and by means of the railways already formed and proposed to be formed, will open a communication with Yorkshire and all pat ts of the North, with Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, Manchester, Liver pool, and other large manufacturing towns, and the rich mineral dis tricts of Staffordshire, the important towns of Birmingham and Worcester, North and South Wales, and by the Northampton, Ban bury, and Cheltenham Railway, with all parts of the west of Eng land, as well as opening w direct communicatieu to the important sea port terns.. on the eastern comet. . - - - A COlLSlderable Parliamentary grant having been made to improve the harbour of Harwich, a Company has been formed to make large and commodious docks at that place, and from the fact of Harwich being directly opposite the ports of Holland (thus bringing it in com munication with the railways in Germany), there is no doubt but that Harwich will •become a first-late seaport town for extensive commercial and passenger traffic, and will be a powerful feeder to this line. The town of Colchester is also a seaport, from which coals and goods in large quantities are supplied to Hal s t ea d an d th e a dj acent pniadedv(Wsuapgpells'edafiridoignwtlles'• district through which this flour, malt, &c., in lar ge NPquantitiesulous to a w re n s s hi a line is proposed to pass) to London and o th er places. Therefore, this line will open a communication much needed, and there cannot be any doubt but that the undertaking is one of great importance, as affording railway accommxiation to a large and populous district of country through which it will pass, and that it will pay a good rate of interest on the capit a l i nvested. From Colchester the line will proceed to the fast-improving and much-admired watering-place, Wal ton - on-the-Naze, passing through Thorp and Weeley, and thereby afford railway accommodation from the midland counties to that p la ce ot summer resort for sea-bathing. Power will be applied for to allow 4/, per cent. on deposits and all calls until the line is opened. Prospectuses and plans will be forthwith issued, and, in the mean time, applications for shares may be . Rilide to the S o li c it ors , G eorge Weller, Esq., 8, King's - roa d, Bedford-row, London ; George Pell jun., Esq., Welford, Northamptonshire ; and George Cooke, Esq. Northampton.

The port of Boston affords the readiest outlet for exports from the manufacturing districts to the north of Europe, and the importance of direct communication from the midland counties to a place ad vantageously situate cannot be over-estimated. Leicester has, or shortly will have, direct communication with Birmingham, and all the other important towns in the midland district. The Midland Railway Company is extending the communication to Melton Mowbray, by means of its branch from Syston to Peter borough, which passes through that place. There is also a complete line of railway about to be established from Nottingham, through Grantham and Folkingham, to Boston, as well as to Spalding, Wis beach, Lynn, Yarmouth, and other important towns in the eastern counties. The Leicester, Melton Mowbray, and Boston Direct Union Rail way, by forming a line from Melton Mowbray to Folkingham, will supply the only link wanting to complete a direct through communi cation from Birmingham, Warwick, Worces'er, Coventry, and the manufacturing districts generally, to Boston, as well as means of existing and projected railways from Wales and the Bristol Channel to that seaport. The leng.h of the proposed line will not exceed twenty-six miles ; and as it will pass through a country very favourable for engineer ing imposes, the expense of construction will, it is expected, be less l i than the usual average. The admirable position of this railway can not fail, it is confidently expected, to command a large return, both in passengers and in goods traffic.

Woolcombe, Square, Stephens, and Prance, Plymouth SECRETARY (pro tem.)—Edward Hoare, Esq. This railway, being an extension of the Delabole and Rock line, the construction of which, from the deep water of Padstow Har. bour to the vicinity of Camelford, has been already authorised, will unite Padstow and the other ports on the north coast of Cornwall with Plymouth, by the shortest and most advantageous route which can be obtained, and thereby establish a complete and direct corn. munication between the Bristol and English Channels. It is intended that the principal terminus shall be near Sutton Pool, the centre of the established trade at Plymouth, for the im provement of which a Company with a sufficient capital has been formed. The line will cross the Tamer at or near Saltash, and pro ceeding by Callington approach Launceston, whence it will extend by Camelford to the Delabole Quarries, and there form a commu nication with the Delabole and Rock Railway, for the formation of which an Act of Parliament, containing ample powers to construct docks and otherwise improve the Harbour of Padstow, has been obtained. Short branches will connect the line with Devonport, Linkenhorn, and Launceston. The Committee reserve power to make such arrangements with the parties interested in the Delabole and Rock Railway as may be deemed advisable for completing the line and extending the utility of the portion of the project to which the powers of their Act apply. Westerly winds prevailing for three-fourths of the year, it is evident that railway communication with Padstow will obtain for that harbour a great part of the trade which now enters the Bristol Channel ; inasmuch as sailing vessels would thence secure a suffi cient offing at all times to prevent the delay constantly occasioned in the ports of that channel to outward.bound ships. The im provernebt of this harbour will involve the construction of a break water, and thus Padstow will become the haven of refuge for that line of coast, and the seaport of the Bristol Channel. By meszto of this sailway the most direct and expeditious cons moon.:aLsoo wut Dem:named between the southern and eastern ports of Ireland, and the who.e of the north of Cornwall, Launceston, and Callington, with Plymouth and the southern coast of Devon; and in conjunction with the proposed lines of railway through the centre of Devon and Cornwall, it will afford a rapid communication . . _ with Exeter, the north of Devon, and the metropolis, on the one side, and Falmouth and the eastern ports of Cornwall on the other. By this route the distance from Launceston to Plymouth will be •even miles less than by the route through Tavistock ; whilst, in. stead of gradients of I in 29 and I in 30, as presented on that line, the gradients on this will be perfectly easy, and well adapted for locomotive power. The line presents few engineering difficulties, and the greater part of it will be constructed at a ♦ery moderate cost. The addi tional expense of crossing the Tamar will be most amply compen• sated for by the cheapness of the construction of the remainder of the line; and the capital may be relied on as being amply sufficient to carry out the undertaking. In case an Act should be obtained for the construction of a central line of railway through Cornwall and Devon, power is reserved to make arrangements for the use of so much of such line as may be available, and the capital of this Company will be proportionally reduced; and in the event of any Company projecting a railway from Falmouth to Plymouth, and joining in the expense of the line from Saltash to Sutton Pool, the capital will be further reduced by 156,000/. h e crossing of the Tamar at Saltash will be effected by a bridge sufficient to accommodate the general traffic cf the country, for which a toll will be sought. Power will be taken to purchase the interest of the owners of the ferry existing at that point of the river. The line passes through the best mining districts of the north And east of Cornwall. By means of the proposed branch to Linkenhorn, nearly the whole of the mines in the eastern pail of the county will be united, and all the materials and supplies for these mines, with their produce, would be transported on this railway. The Delabole slate quarries are already in active ope ration, several steam-engines being in full work, and more in the course of erection. The traffic will be materially augmented by the carriage of slate from these quarries, and the supply of ma terials far their working. Added to these sources, the very con siderable traffic of passengers and goods which will be derived from the north of Cornwall and Devon, from Launceston, Calling ton, and, in fact, the whole of the productive corn country through which the line passes, and which chiefly supplies Plymouth and the Government Victualling-office ; the conveyance of Irish produce and passengers from Padstow—of timber and other building materials both from Plymouth and the north coast—of sea sand, most ex tensively used for manure, from the north coast—of lime and limestone from Plymouth—of coals for the supply of the whole dis. trim, including the immense quantities consumed in the mines— abundantly demonstrate that few lines of railway are likely to pay a higher rat e of i nterest on the capital to be exp ended, both from the moderate expense of construction and the immense amount of traffic which must pass over the line. Power will be applied for in the Act to allow interest at four per cent. on the deposit and all subsequent calls until the opening of the line ; and the subscribers' liability, previous to obtaining the Act, will be limited to the amount of the deposit on their respective shares. The survey is in a state of forwardness, and as the extension line and branches do not exceed thirty.six miles, there is an actual certainty of being fully prepared for an application to Parliament in the ensuing session for an Act of Incorporation. Prospectuses may be obtained on application to Edward Hoare, Esq. secretary, pro tem., at the Company's temporary offices, 15, Basinghall.street ; to the solicitors, Messrs.

This Company has been farmed for the purpose of opening a line of railway communicatiol between Calais and Bruges, passing through important districts of France and Belgium containing a population of above 600,000 inhabitants, and forming a junction with the State Railway at Bruges, which has now become the moat direct route to the interior of Belgium, Germany, Prussia, and the countries east of the French frontier. In laying before the public the prospectus of this proposed line, it may be mentioned as one of its principal advantages, that it will reduce the passage from London to Brussels, now occupying twenty-four or twenty-six hours, under the most favourable circum stances, and often thirty or forty, to twelve hours, rendering it prac ticable to make the journey with ease in one day, and at two-thirds of the present expense. The long, tedious, and uncertain sea voyage will also be avoided from Dover to Ostend, which, to travellers gene rally, and particularly to ladies and invalids, is exceedingly dis agreeable, ar.d often attended wi h serious consequences. It can hardly admit of a question, that the principal part of the passenger traffic between the two capitals, London sad Brussels, to gether with the passenger traMc of the populous cities of Antwerp, and Ghent, the latter being the Manchester of Belgium, and the im portant towns of St. Nicholar and Tierlmond, will be, under these circumstances, drawn into this channel; and another important ad vantage to the public, and source of revenue to the Company, will be found in the transmission of the Belgian. German, and Prussian maCs, which are now conveyed by steamers from Dover to Ostend, at it very considerable expense, anti vrlanlucli less Rertai4ty 4wl FORM OF APPLICATION.

X 14 4 '4")111v LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17. 1845. Being of their opinion who hold that "to be vise in time is to be doubly wise,"—and th a t th ere is a philosophy in CAMPBELL'S axiom, that " coming events cast their shadows before them," which is applicable to all times and all cir cumstances, we entreat attention to a significant announce ment just issued by the Bank of England. That great Com pany have issued a notice, long expected, of theirdetennina lion to raise their rate of discount on bills and notes to 31. per cent. It is very true that as compared with former years, when its ordinary rates varied from 41. to .5/. per cent., this is still a moderate scale, although it is advanced from two-and-a-half per cent. But it must be recollected that the affluence of money into the market has been for some time past so extraordinary, as to take the last year quite out of any fair analogy or comparison with its predecessors. The enormous aggregate of previously inactive capital which the fervour for railway investment and speculation has unlocked in all parts of the kingdom, in addition to the still more extensive masses which it has diverted from other sources of appropriation that had previously absorbed them, had the effect of gradually, and for a protracted period, reducing the current value of money for discount. The activity of the Railway Market has hitherto received no check from any sudden panic, or from untoward disclosures affecting the character of any specific stock of that description which had been previously in request. There has consequently been no reaction adequate to produce the effect of a sudden contraction of the enterprise which has long communicated, and still im parts, so much vivacity to the Share Market. There is no thing in the aspect of the Public Rinds to withdraw floating capital to any noticeable extent from that channel of employment in which it has manifested so remarkable a tendency, of late, to flow. The Railway Market, indeed, is at least as buoyant as ever, and it would be strange if it were not so. Hitherto,.. there..has been no reverse to mar, or soriottsly impede, its upward movement. But, we& Aft wetls, the Wlliou :AVM of thti Bank pi England have been diminishing. The weekly circulali!! indeed, of Bank of England paper has not been material" contracted as yet, though very intelligible indications ingY detailed of its advent, and feelers may he observed to b u _: been put out for come ti me past, lik e t h epenace of the nac ti!ta, to ascertain whether the temperature is becoming co ft) ,.l as to require it t o s t r ik e sa il an d narrow i ts s phere of th; ment. A rise i n th e rate o f B an k di sc ounts, cin cl t with a decline i n i ts b u ld on reserves, an d a slight bp gradual decr ease o f i ts paper c i rculat i on, is a he e which they will not neglect who desire to escape clang' that do not yet present themselves abovethe surfaceofth iag ; but are not the less fraught with certain destruction to tit' who still unadvisedly remain too long within their sa e. A bad grain harvest, below the average in quantity, sad tot ceedingly deficient in q ua lity, aggrava t e d by the almost tot.; failure of the p r i nc i pa l b rea d - stu ff s o f the set; are portentous adj unc t s to t h ese ev il i n fluences.
