It is intended to commence at the junction of the Welch Midland and Stour Valley Railways (both of which have projected lines to Birmingham), between Kidderminster and Bewdley, and proceed from thence through Cleobury Mortimer to Ludlow, where it will form a junction with the Worcester and Portdyullaen, and Bridgnorth, Ludlow, and Wolverhampton Railways. From Ludlow it will ollow the line of the present mail road , along the Valley of the Te f me to Knighton, from which place it is intended to throw off a branch to the Craven Arms, to rue into the Shropshire Mineral Railway, which has its terminus at that place. The line will proceed from Knighton to Lianidloes, where it will join the projected Manchester and Aberystwith Railway, and proceed along that line for the re mainder of the distance. The use of all projected lines being thus sought for, the part to be made will not exceed sixty miles ; and as surveyors are already upon the line, the plans, &c., will all be ready to go to Parliament in the ensuing session. The advantages of the present line over ar.y other projected rail way between Birmingham and Aberystwith are :—That it is the most direct route between the respective termini ; that it passes through a district at present unprovided with railway accommoda tion ; that by it and the Birmingham. Stamford, and Boston lines, a regular chain of railway communication is opened between St. George's Channel and the German Ocean; and by the Great Eastern and Western line a communication is also opened with Yarmouth, Norwich. and King's Lynn ; that it will open the slate mines of Cardiganshire, and the limestone of Radnorshire to Shrop shire, and the whole or the midland counties ; while, on the ether hand, by the branch from the Craven Arms, the coals of Shropshire will be brought into Raduorshire, Montgomeryshire, and Cardigan shire, where that article does not exist, at little more than one-third of its present cost. From these and other sources of traffic it must be obvious that high rate of interest upon the capital e mbarked may be depend6d upon. The line throughout the whole distance meets with the most influ ential local support, so as to ensure its complete success. There are no engineering difficulties of any magnitude, and no ornamental property will be invaded. Should the atmospheric pie be be fully tested and be found to answer, it will be adopted on this line. The responsibility of the shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions , and pswer.will be taken in the Act to allow in terest at four per cent. on the calls. The Committee reserve the usual power to amalgamate with any other existing Company or Companies, to limit or vary the line, as to them shall seem most expedient, in order to carry out the objects of the Company. Prospectuses, with maps and forms of application for shares, may be had from the Secretary, at the Office of the Company, 163, Fen chureh-street ; from the Solicitors and Local Agents; and also from the following Brokers, viz. :.—Messrs.

The Manchester and Birmingham a ontinuation and Welsh Junc tion Railway having been projected to traverse the same line of country as the northern part of this line, the Committee have con sidered it to be for the benefit of the Shareholders to avoid any Par liamentary' contest ; and have, aocordingly, enteved into an arrange ment for the entire amalgamation of the two Companies, on equal terms. In pursuance of this arrangement, the line of the Manchester and Milford Haven Railway will commence by a junction with the other line, near Liangerrig, inst,ad of at Crewe. The capital is reduced to 1,500,0001.; andig, a portion of the Shares have been granted to the other Company. It has become necessary, therefore, to close the list of applications ; and no application for Shares will be received after WEDNESDAY NEXT, the sth day of November ,except from landowners and gentlemen locally interested. • AT a MEETING of the Inhabitants of the town BARNET AND NORTH METROPOLITAN of Highworth, held at the King and Queen Inn, on Wednes- JUNCTION .

TO TIIE EDITOR. :414 —Observing that doubts have been expressed whether in many of the various railway schemes now before the public the de posits on the capital have peen paid, or, if paid, have been properly applied, the Committee think it right to state, that the deposits on the shares allotted in this railway have been duly paid, and that a sum exceeding three-fourths of the amount has been invested in Consols in the names of Trustees for the Company.

They regret that, In consequence of the numerous applications from parties locally interested, the requests of many highly respect able and influential parties have necessarily been passed by. The Committee are now engaged in forwarding the required ar rangements for a strict compliance with the standing orders, and they have much satisfaction in stating that the Parliamentary survt ys of the whole line are completed. It is with full confidence, therefore, that they anticipate a success ful application to Parliament in the ensuing session. By order, W. A. ROSS, Secretary. 1, Royal Exchange-buildings, Nov. 1, 1845. LONDONandYORK RAILWAY' iJ The Shareholders are hereby informed that the Bill for the London and York Railway having, in the last session, passed the House of Commons, and having also passed the Standing Orders Committee of the House of Lords, will be resumed at that stage im mediately on the meeting of Parliament, under the resolutions of both Houses giving this privilege to Railway Bills in the state of that of the London and York ; and that the notices to that effect, required by those resolutions to be given in certain newspapers during this month of October and in November, are now in course of publication. Having now ascertained the extent of their liabilities consequent upon the very severe and protracted, though successful, contest of last session, the Directors have the satisfaction to find that, though the expenses have been unavoidably great, ample funds remain from the original dep , sit of 21. 10s. rer share to meet any possible cost in the ensuing session ; and as in the case of the London and York Bill, it is not requisite ,under the standing orders, to increase the deposit of 51. per cent. on the capital already paid, and which continues lodged with the Accountant-General of the Court of Chancery, it will be unnecessary to make any further call upon the shareholders. The Bill for the Wakefield branch, which, for want of time, was not heard last session, is to be renewed ; and this branch is to be ex tended from Wakefield into the town of Leeds. Additional exten sions will also be propo ed from Stamford direct to Spalding; from Hatfield through St. Alban's to Litton and Dunstable ; and to Hert ford—all which are in course of being surveyed preparatory to the usual deposits and notices required by Parliament. In conformity with the sessional orders under which Bills stand ing over from last session maintain their position in the ensuing session, a new Subscription Contract will be prepared ; and notices will shortly be given to the holders of the London and York and the Bawtry Branch Scrip Certificates of Shares, to send the same in for registry ; and of the time at which the New Deed will be lying for signature in London and at the principal country towns. The cost of tho Wakefield and other branch lines herein-men tioned, is to be provided for by means of forty thousand (40,000) scrip Extension Shares of the value of 251. each, with a deposit of 2/. 103., being ten (10) per cent. as required by Parliament, to be allotted to the Proprietors of the original or existing London and York and Bawtry Scrip Shares of 501. each in the proportion of One Extension Share of 25/. for Three of the Scrip Shares of 501.—and the Subscription Contract for the branch lines will be ready for sig nature at the same time as the New Deed for the London and York original line.

The object of this railway is to afford local accommodation to the large population lying between Da oitwich, Stourbridge, and Wol verhampton, and at the same time to improve the chain of direct communication between Manchester, Salisbury, and Poole, on the one hand, and between Manchester and Southampton on the other. The Ine will commence by a junction with the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway, near Droitwich, and passing by the saltworks at that place, and through or near the towns of Bromsgrove and Stourbridge, will fall into the intended Grand Central station at W o lverhampton, whence run connecting lines with 01l parts o kingdom. The importance of this communication, with reference only to the wants and convenience of Droitwitch, was strongly dwelt upon in Committees of Parliament during the last session, when it was proved that a communication with • the .port of Southampton, as well as with the agricultural districts of Wilts, Dorset, and Hants, must tend to a very great extension of trade in salt, as well as in iron and coal from the Staffordshire district. Traversing a densely-populated district, and Improving the com munication from Liverpool, Manchester, and the north, with the ports and towns ot the south and west of England, it is obvious the line must also com mand a large passenger traffic. The length of railway will be about twenty-four miles. Promoted with the sanction and immediate support of the Manchester and Southampton Company, it is intended, after satisfying the require ments of the district and other important interests, that a proportion of the remaining shares in the line shall be distributed to such of the shareholders in that Company as shall signify their desire for an al lotment on or before the 10th November next. Tile levels. of the country have already been taken, and active measures instituted for completion of the surveys, and the Directors confidently hope to bring the • measure before Parliament in the en suing session. Applications for shares may be made, in the annexed form, to the Company's solicitor, at Manchester, or at the offices of the Company, 19, Great George-street, Westminster.

The flirectors of the' Wilts, romerset, and Southampton Junction Railway Company, having completed the whole of their arrange moms, ,nd having been compelled to refuse at least three-fourths of the applications for shares in their line, have had their attention forcibly and repeatedly called to the necessity of a direct communi cation between Salisbury and Swindon, the 'station on the Great Western Railway by which the most direct and remunerative con nexion will be formed between Southampton and Manchester. The advantages in point of speed to be deriv,d from the broad gauge as also the superiority of the gradients obtained by the route of the Valley of the Avon, together with the imp•a•tance of placing the city of Salisbury on the main trunk line from the north to Southampton, must insure to this undertaking the sane:J(4l.of the Legislature and the local support of the towns and tAistricts through which the line will pass.

Owing to he very large and unprecedented number of appli cation, it has been found impos,ible to allot to the vat ions a : plicants with the liberality the Committee could have desired, and it is feared that in several cases persons of the highest respectability have been accidentally overlo , tked. It is trusted, kowever, that this explanation will be teemed suffi cient. By order, Birmingham, Oct. .10, 1845. JOHN SMITH, Solicitor. 31 LULA ND UNION.
