In pursuance of the new Standing Orders of the House of Lords, This line is projected for the purpose of affording a direct communi cation between the two great ports mentioned in its title, and to effect this purpose it is proposed to commence at Devizes, which by other projects is about to be placed in connexion with Bath and Bristol. It will than pass in a south-easterly direction through or near and giving a communication to the populous and important towns of Lud gershall, Andover, Whitchurch, Basingstoke (where the Southampton Railway has a station), Odibam, and Farnham to Godalming. Here it will form a junction with other lines, which will complete the communication to the Reigate station of the London and Dover Rail way ; or, should it be necessary, in consequence of the failure of any of the projected railways in this locality, the present project will itself be extended to Dorking and Reigate, at which latter point the Brighton Railway is united with the Dover. A prospectus, containing the names of a powerful Committee and the officers, will be ready in a few days ; and in the meantime fur ther particulars may be obtained and applications for shares received at the temporary offices, 6, Liverpool-street, Broad-street, London.

Liverpool—The Manchester and Liverpool District Bank. 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 runni.ig 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 hail to the interests of the scrip holders in the Leicester and Tamworth Junction Railway Company. The surveys are in proress, and the line is re ported as easyof construction, and free from engineering dillifielties. The twofold advantages offered by this project give it a manliest superiority over every other scheme which has yet been devised for traversing this rich and extensive, but 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 object proposed by this railway is, as well to supply the wants of the district through which it passes, as to complete the chain of railway communication between the eastern and midland counties and the western district, including the whole of Nurth and South The country embraced by this line is of the richest description, and thickly populated. By means of this, and the existing and projected lines of railway, the whole of the ports in the eastern and north-eastern counties, in cluding the manufacturing city of Norwich, and towns of Leicester, Nottingham, Sheffield, Leeds, and the whole of Yorkshire will be brought in direct communication with the mineral districts of North and South Wales, the salt district of Droitwich, and the river Severn. The promoters of this line submit to the public, as a most import ant consideration, the abating of those causes of loss and inconveni ence which, along the line of country over which this railway will Pass, are experienced from water carriage being from necessity at Present a pr►ncipal mode of transit for heavy goods and merchandise, and which,' n the winter season, is productive of the most evil con sequences to those engaged in commerce. A manifest advantage to the Shareholders will be the extent of traffic Which will be secured and appropriated by the present undertaking, in lieu of that which hitherto has been engrossed by the more dilatory course of water carriage. As a public advantage to the inhabitants generally of the above-mentioned districts, the promoters submit that the equa lisation in prices of the produce and merchandise which the opening of this line of railway is calculated to produce is of the high est importance, and one of the principal benefits which this and other similar undertakings are alone capable of producing. The proposed line will commence at Rugby, the terminus of the Midland Counties'and Trent Valley Railways, and also of the pro posed Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railway, and proceed from thence near to the towns of Leamington, Warwick, and Alcester, and end at the City of Worcester. At Worcester this line will form a junction, with the several Welsh railways, the Shrewsbury, Wor cester, and Crewe Railway, and the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolf verhatniltonßailway. At Warwick it will unite with the Birmingham and Oxford Junc tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway. And at Rugby with the London and Birmingham, the Midland Counties, and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railway. TO the inhabitants of Rugby as well as to those of the Midland, Eastern, and Northern Counties this line will afford a direct com munication with the fashionable towns of Leamington and Chelten ham, as well as the whole of the Western Counties. To the inhabitants of Leamington and Warwick it will give a direct communication with the City of Worcester and North and South Wales, now so much needed. ' And to the inhabitants of Worcester, in addition to providing the nearest route to London via Warwick, it will be an outlet to the Eastern Counties and ports, and afford great facilities for the increase of the manufactories now carried on in that city. The whole of the country has during the present month, August, 1845 , been most carefully surveyed by the engineers, and they report it to be free from engineering difficulty, and well adapted for a rail way, and the provisional Directors entertain no doubt that the line will be made under the average rate of expense incident to similar undertakings, and, from the statistics in their possession, that the traffic will afford an ample return for the capital invested. The line will not interfere with any ornamental property, and the landowners are favourable to the undertaking. The Shareholders in the several Railways proposed to be joined or intersected will have a preference in the allotment of shares in this undertaking. No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the Act is obtained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at 4/. per centum on all calls, from the time of their respective payments, and to limit the liability of the Shareholders to the amount of their sub reriptions. The Directors reserve power to themselves to amalgamate with any existing or projected line of railway ; to vary the route ; to make all desirable extensions; and to increase the capital as may be advisable or necessary. Prospectuses, with a Plan, will be published in a few days, and may then be obtained od application to the several solicitors, and terany of the following share brokers, viz., Messrs. Peppercorne and Co., 2, Old Broad -street ; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39, Loth bury, London ; Messrs. Payne and Freer, Leicester ; Messrs. .Alston and Gage, Liverpool ; Messrs.

This Line, which, subject to the decision of the Gauge Commis sioners, will be constructed on the Broad Gauge principle, will com mence at the Worcester Station of the Great Eastern and Western Railway, and, proceeding by Redditch and Henley-in-Arden, will touch Warwick and Leamington, and end at Rugby, the terminus of the Midland Counties Railway and of the proposed Rugby and Hunt ingdon Junction Railway. It' will communicate with Droitwich, Studley, Alcester, and Stratford-on-Avon. At Warwick, it will unite with thelifirmingham and Oxford Junc tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway ; and at Rugby, with the London and Birmingham, the Midland Counties, and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railways. The country through which it will pass, is thickly, populated, and of the richest description. It presents no engineering difficulties, and from its population, its manufactures, and agricultural produce, it possesses sources of such abundant traffic as to render it highly re munerative to the capitalists. The object proposed is to complete the line of railway communica tion between the Western, Midland, and Eastern portions ,of the Kingdom, aud a glance at the Map of England:will show that this will be effected in the most direct manner by the present line ; touch ing, as it will, at one of its termini, , a railway running direct from Swansea to Worcester, and at the other, the projected line from Rugby to Huntingdon—from which point a railway communication has been already provided. By means of this Railway, the manufactures of all the towns and the agricultural produce of the country contained within its range, as well as the Ports on the Eastern and North-Eastern Coast, will have opened to them a direct and unbroken communication with the great and densely-populated mineral fields of South Wales, as well as the markets of the Northern portion of the principality. To the population along the line as well as to the Midland and Northern portions of he kingdom, this undertaking will present the most direct communication with those towns of fashionable resort— Leamington and Cheltenham. To the inhabitants of Leamington and Warwick, it will open the most direct communication with the city of Worcester and South Wales, whilst to the inhabitants of Worcester, it will open the markets of the Eastern portions of the country. The Shareholders in the several railways proposed to be joined or intersected, will have a preference in the allotment of shares in this undertaking. No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the Act is obtained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at four pounds per centum on all calls from the time of their respective payments, and to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscription. Applications for shares in the annexed form to be made to the Provisional Committee, at the office, 5, Gresham-street, London, or to Messrs.

The line of Railway intended to be constructed by this Company will commence at or near Norton Bridge (a station of the Grand Junction Railway), in the county Of Stafford, and proceed from thence by Eceleshall, Offiey, Norbury, Forton, Newport, Donnington Wood, Oaken Gates, Priors Lee, Stirchley, Dawley, Madeley, and Iron Bridge, to Coalbrook-dale ; there, crossing the proposed " Wor cester and Crewe Railway," it will pass along the slope of Wenlock edge, by Rushbury and Eaton-under -Haywood, to Wistanstow, in the county of Salop, where it will run into, and forma junction with the " Shrewsbury, Hereford, and North Wales Railway." The line will traverse a rich minerai district, and will have a secure and extensive traffic by the carriage of coal from the Shropshire of Radnorshire and Herefordshire, coal-field, to a depot psoposed to be formed at Wistanstow, for the supply of South Shropshire, part and also from whence it will be conveyed by the " Hereford, Shrews bury, and North Wales Railway," into Montgomeryshire and the neighbouring counties, where coal does not exist. It is impossibl e to calculate the extent to which this traffic may be carried, as ter the direct railway communication thus opened between the Shr opshire coal-field, and the importan t manufacturing towns of Newtown and Llanidloes, the price per ton will be reduced one-half at those places, and the fla nnel manufacturers, nowdepend ing upon water power, will+ by the cheapness o f coal, be enabled to employ steam, and to extend their trade in p ro portion to the great demand which exist s for the Welsh flannels, in preference to any other. The importance of this subject will have its due weight with those who so often witness the bad effects upon the trade, caused by the stoppage of Ile mills from an insufficiency of water. A considerable amount of tonnage is now incurred by the Shrop shire ironmasters,f or the conveyance of lime-stone from the neigh bourhood of Much Wenlock t o the furnaces, by severa l transits of land and water carriage, whereas the proposed railway will convey it direct into the heart of the works, and at one-third of t he expense. By its junction with the " Grand Junction" and the " Hereford and Shrewsbury" Railways, th is line will form a direct communica- tion between Liverpool, Manc hester, Sheffield, York and Hull, and Swansea and South Wales. As a junction line alone (connecting as it will such important rail ways), s large passenger traffic may be depended upon, but when it is considered that the centre of the line passes through a densely populated mining district, and the remainder throu g h a thriving agricultural neighbourhood, it will be obvious that a sufficient local traffic exists to pay a highly remunerative interest on the amount of capital required to be embarked. The line, which will no t interfere with any property of an orna mental or costly character, will not exceed 46 miles in length, and will be constructed at much less than the average cost. Such important local co-operation has been secured, that no oppo sition is anticipated or can be sustained against the Daeasure. The liability of the Shareholders w.. 1 be limited, by the Act, to the amount of their subscription to the capital stock ; and pow er w ill b e applied for to allow interest at the rata of four p e r cent, per annum on the amount of the deposit , a nd upon the further calls, from th e date of each payment until the opening of th..) line ; and the first dep,ysit being paid, a further call will not be made until the Act • Parliament shall have been obtained.

This short but very important Line of Railway will commence at the nearest point on the Trent Valley Railway to the City of Lich field, and proceed through a rich and populous country, by ,Shenstone, Sutton Coldfield, and Erdington, to the town of Birmingham. The length of the Line will be only about sixteen miles, and a glance at the map will suffice to show the very numerous advan tages which this Railway offers. The projected " South Union Rail way," from Manchester, joins or falls into the Trent Valley Railway just below Lichfield, and, proceeding along the Trent Valley Line, via Tamworth and Rugby, will form the shortest and most direct route from Manchester to London, but will leave Birmingham on the west, which can only be reached by the circuitous route through Tamwoith, a distance of twenty-tire miles. The proposed Birmingham and Lichfield Railway will effect an ex tension,of the South Union, North Staffordshire, and other projected Railways, from Lichfield in a direct Line to Birmingham, and thus save no less than nine miles in the twenty-fire, and censtitute the shortest and best line between Manchester and Birmiagham yet de vised. As to the returns to be expected for the capital embarked, it is sufficient to mention, that in addition to the very large income aris ing from the local passenger and goods traffic (the latter of which is very great, as most of the agricultural supplies of Birmingham, the emporium of the Midland Counties, and its densely populated neigh bourhood, are derived from the vicinities of, and must pass along this Line), every passenger direct from Manchester to Birmingham must necessarily proceed along the projected Railway, should either of the lines from Manchester to Lichfield be made. _ _ This line will also form the nearest route from Derby and the North to Birmingham. The Capital proposed to be raised is 300,0001., in 15,000 Shares of 201. each. A deposit of 21. 2s. per Share will be required to be paid upon the allotment, to the credit of the Directors with the Bankers of the Company. No call will be made until the Act of Parliament shall be obtained, and power will he taken in the Act to allow Interest at 41. per cent. per annum, upon the amount of each call, from the date of payment until the opening of the line, and Subscribers will not be answerable beyond the amount of their Shares. The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract, which shall contain a clause empowering the Directors to amalgamate with any other Railway now formed, or to he formed, to extend or make Branch Lines, or transfer, mortgage, or dispose of the present un dertaking for the benefit of the Company, as they may deem proper, will be ready on the day fixed for the payment of deposit, and will be required to be executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for certificates of Scrip ; and the shares of any Subscribers making default in the execution of those deeds within the time limited, of which fourteen days' notice will be given, will be absolutely forfeited. No application for shares can be attended to, unless accompanied by a reference to a member of the Provisional Committee, one of the Solicitors, Agents, or a Banker. Forms of application for shares, copies of the prospectus, and a map of the line, may be obtained at the temporary offices of the Company, 60, Moorgate-street, London ; from the Solicitors ; from Local Agents; from Mr. B.

The object of this line of Railway is to complete the chain of coast communication, and form a connexion with lines already established or projected with reasonable hopes of success. It will commence at or near the city of Limerick, and taking a nor therly direction, proceed through the counties ofClare, Galway, Mayo, and Sligo, terminating at Sligo, by a junction with the Sligo and Ennis killen Railway, and accommodating on its route the important cities and towns of Limerick, Ennis, Gort, Loughrea, Athenry, Monivea, Tuam, Ballinrobe, Castlebar, Westport, Foxford, Ballina, Kilalla, Swineford, Streamstown, and Sligo, which town being connected with the north, east, and south, by the different lines through Enniskillen, London derry, Coleraine, Belfast, Armagh, Newry, Dundalk, Drogheda, Dublin, Wicklow, Wexford, Waterford, Cork, Killarney, Valentia, Tralee, and Limerick, the establishment of this line will cause Ire land to present a completeness of locomotive communication which no other country in the world enjoys. The country through which the proposed line travels is most fertile in mineral and agricultural products ; it embraces many extensive coal fields, whose advantages it will extend to all parts of Connaught and Ulster; and intersecting, as it does, so many metropolitan lines of railway, it will develope those advantages in an equal degree to the province of Leinster. The lead, iron, marble, and slate works on its route, will be rendered available to the most distant parts of the island, and perhaps not the least advantage, in a national point of view, will be the establishment of an intercourse between the population of the extreme north and that of the extreme south, as well as placing the trade of, and communication with, Scotland, within the easy reach of all towns of any importance in prof Added to this the cer tainty that on the completion of the projected southern, eastern, and western lines, the noble natural harbours on the Atlantic shore of Ireland will become the British depots of American traffic, and most probably the established packet statierns-foi, postal communication between the two countries, if is impossipte to nver-rate the value Of this truly national projection. The counties which this railway traverses -abundantly supply the English markets with cattle, pigs, &c. 'This line, eofrinntnioatingWith so many ports, will afford the greatest facilities forthe shipping of this portion of trade, some idea of the extent of whibli nutY - ke form e d from the fact of upwards of five hundred fairs being held annually in its immediate vicinity, among them, the fair of Rallinasloe, ac knowledged the greatest for sheep and cattle in the British islands. It has been ascertained that the countrypreserits great engineering facilities for the construction of a railway, and in communications which have been received from the landowners along the line, the greatest anxiety is manifested for its completion. The subscribers will be held liable only to the extent of their first deposits until an Act of Parliament is obtained, and afterwards only to the amount of their subscriptions.

Whitchurch—James Bromfield, Esq. Chester—John P. Maddock, Esq. Wellington—George Marcy, Esq. Shrewsbury—W. Cooper, Esq. The geographical position of Worcester has caused its adeption as the point where the broad guage trunk lines of the west are to have a r,ommon terminus. From Oxford the Great Western Company hare lecided on constructing a line of rail :—another project under the pa tronage of the same powerful direction is now before the public' Uniting Worcester with Warwick ; and, that the broad gauge will bi; (rattled 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 n succession of picturesque scenes, it readies 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 intervenint districts, upwards of 30,000 persons ars located. Leaving Stourbridge a little to the east, the line is taken to gridgenorth, a town enjoying an active inland trade, and possessing woollen manufactures and iron works, that give employment to a population of about 15,000. Pass ing through or near to Much Wenlock, Broselet, and Madeley, from which place there will be a branch to Shrewsbury, the line ascends Colebrook Dale, and approaching in its course Wellington and Wed. enters Whitchurch. From this central place a branch will be formed to Norwich via Stoke, forming a j u nc ti o n with the Livellwl and Crewe Railway. The trunk line w ill continue from Whitchtu-ch, and passing through or near Maipas, have its northern terminus ;t1 tho city of Chester. In estimating the probable amount of revenue which the Worces ter and Chester Railway may be expected to yield, many sources of profit present themselves, such are the dens:: population located along the length of the Severn Vale, and the enriching works of industry in which they are engaged. Amongst the latter way be mentioned the China manufactories of Worcester ; the iron, coa2,. and earthen ware works at Broseley and other places ; the agricultOral produce brought to Stourport market ; the inexhaustible fields of Mal and mines of iron ore in the vicinity of Colebrook Dale, Ironbriagg, 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 (Aber localities. As a link in the railway network of England, or as austharie to existing or projected lines passing in various directions, fors schemes hitherto proposed appear to afford greater, inducement for investment, or a wider range of accommodation for traffic and. travelling. This project constitutes a lengthened link in the of chain that will connect Liverpool with Bristol, the grand trunk the Weat of England ;—its southern terminus, Worcester, is the half way station of the London and Port Dynntlaen broad gauge line : by projected lines a direct communication will be afforded west ward to Swansea and Aberystwith, and, eastward , to Warwi and Northampton, Cambridge, Peterborough, Harwich, Lynn, Lincoln. ck and Hull. nmedanlmithieesCmomay pany's acting engineer, Is The line has been repea_hteodrleypt4Trtsd that the r ex all a Z be laid on the natura l level—that the gradients are in every in• stance favourable —that the geological structure of the districts t, be traversed is equally so, and that the want of such a line of cont.. mutiication is acknowledged by the Interests seated en its proposed plans may be made, and forms course.
