The town of Bury St. Edmunds and the adjacent districts, and an the country through which the line will pass, have for generations drawn their supply of coals, timber, deals, wine, oil-cake, tar, flag stones, and other general merchandise, from the port of Lynn, and have transmitted thither their own corn, flour, wool, fruit, and other agricultural produce, for shipment to the northern mark e t„ While the proposed line will affect the local object of preserving the mercantile connexion that has so long subsisted between the county of Suffolk and the port of Lynn, it will effectthe national one of affording to the ports of Ipswich and Harwich, and the im portant towns of Colchester and Baty St. Edmunds, a direct com munication with Lancashire, Yorkshire, and the north, and, by means of the Ely aid Huntingdon, and the proposed Rugby and Huntingdon Railways, with Birmingham and the west. for r the rom these sources a most ample return on the capital required undertaking may be confidently relied on. The line is singularly easy of construction, the estimated cost, in cluding every contingency, being little above 8,0001. per mile ; it will not interfere with ornamental grounds of any kind, and it is not anticipated that any opposition will he offered by the landowners. The Provisional Directors are to be at liberty to take all such measures as they may deem requisite for obtaining the necessary Powers to construct the line or any part thereof, with such branches, extensions, or alterations, as they shall be advised to adopt ; and for such powers, or any of them, they are to have power to increase the amount of the capital, to lease or sell the line to, or amalgamate the same with, the Lynn and Ely, Ely and Iluntlngdon, and Lynn and Dereham Railway Companies, or any or either of them, or any other company or companies. It is proposed to raise the capital by issuing 10,000 shares of 201. each, a deposit of 21. 2s. per share (in compliance with the Standing Orders of Parliament) to be paid on allotment. There will be an interval of two months between the calls, and not more than Si. per share will be called for at ono time. A Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract, in such form and with such clauses as the Provisional Directors may think right, will lie for signature at the offices of the Solicitors, in London and Lynn, on payment of the deposit. Arrangements will be made for transmitting the deeds to the principal provincial towns in or near which the shareholders may reside, due notice whereof will be sent to every shareholder by post. As under arrangements entered into with the Lynn and Ely, Ely and Huntingdon, and Lynn and Dereham, Railway Companies, a large proportion of the capital has been appropriated to the holders of shares in those companies, a very limited number of shares only Is at the disposal of the Provisional Directors, and no application for shares, therefore, can be attended to, except from parties locally , interested and of the highest respectability, by whom applica tions may be made, in the annexed form, on or before the 13th October, 1845, to the Secretary, at the Company's Offices, Lynn, Nerfolk, or to the respective solicitors ; no application, however, can in any case be attended to unless accompanied by a reference to one of the Provisional Committee, or to the Solicitors or Bankers of the Company. To the Provisional Committee of the Ely and Bury St. Edmunds Railway.

This proposed line does not interfere with any existing railways, and presenting, as it does, an unbroken line between two great centres of traffic, the importance of the undertaking needs no further comment. Negotiations have been entered into with the Eastern Coun ties Railway Company, by which their support and co-operation will be ensured for obtaining the line now proposed. An arrangement has also been made with the proposed Rugby, Warwick, and Worcester Company, which this line will join at Al cosier, and by means of which the Eastern Counties' traffic will pro ceed to Worcester. _ _ .

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT, THE HUDDERSFIELD and LIVERPOOL DIRECT RAILWAY, By Roch4ale, Bury, and Bolton, forming the shortest practicable route from Liverpool to Leeds, Hull, and Goole.

Huddersfield—The Halifax and Huddersfield Union Banking Com• pany. SOLICITORS. Mr. William Barker, 3 New-street, Huddersfield. Messrs. Brook and Freeman, The object of this undertaking is to form a continuous line of rail way from Leeds to Liverpool, by extending the lines already made, or sanctioned by Parliament, from their respective termini at Hud dersfield, In Yorkshire, and Bury, in Lancashire, through the inter vening country between Huddersfield and Bury, for which extension a line of railway only 25 miles in length is requisite. The proposed line will commence at the Huddersfield station, between which place and Leeds Parliament has already sanctioned the !ormation of rail ways, and from Huddersfield the proposed line will proceed by way of Hillhouse, Birchencliffe, and Lindley, and thence along the valley between Stainland and Greetland, through Batk!sland, the Vale of Itipponden, and by Rochdale to Bury, in Lancashire, where it will join the terminus of the Liverpool and Bury line of railway. In addition to completing a direct communication from Liverpool to Leeds, Hull, and Goole by the shortest practicable route, and by a much smaller outlay of capital than by any other proposed line, it will provide for a large and important manufacturing population, hitherto without the advantage of railway accommodation, an outlet to the south by means of the Huddersfield and Sheffield Junction Railway, and to Manchester and North awl South Lancashire by tho railways above mentioned, and by the Leeds and Manchester Railway, by a proposed junction therewith at Rochdale. This line when completed will, in addition to the advantages which it presents as a through line, pass through a succession of valleys thickly studded with mills and manufactories, consuming a large quantity of raw materials and coal, all of which are brought from a distance, and transmitting to other districts the produce of their in dustry, for which purposes a line of railway has become absolutely necessary, and there can be no doubt that an ample return will be realised for the outlay of capital required. The distance between Huddersfield and Rochdale by the present line of railway Is thirty miles, which by the proposed railway will be reduced to seventeen miles. The ProvisionalCorsmilieereserve to themselves the right of en tering into any arrangements with existing railway companies that may appear desirable. And power will be taken by the Act of Par liament to allow interest to the shareholders at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum on the amounts paid on their shares from the respective times of payment to the times of opening the railway. Applications for shares may be addressed, in the subjoined form, to any of the undermentioned Sharebrokers, viz.—Messrs. Hill, Fawcett and Hill, Threadneedle-street, London ; Mr. David Kinnear, Edin burgh ; Messrs. W. Moore and Co., Messrs. J. Gatliff and Co., Messrs.

PARLIAMENTARY AGENT —Cadwallader F. Waddy, ESQ. SECRETARY—CharIes Martin, Esq. This Company has been formed for the purpose of constructing a line in continuation of the South-Eastern Railway at Reigate, whereby a direct junction will be effected between the whole of the south-eastern coast, including the port and harbour of Dover and the several ports and towns of Southampton, Gosport, Portsmouth, and Bristol ; and, by means of the Bristol and Birmingham Railway, with Gloucester, Worcester, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and the north of England. From its proximity to the Continent, the port of Dover will always be the most accessible point of the English coast; an expeditions communication therefore between that and the other ports, haraours, and inland:towns of the United Kingdom, must necessarily be regarded as a great national advantage. Dover is at present the chief port of embarkation for Calais, Boulogne, Ostend, and other continental towns, and the vast numbers already resorting there both on business and pleasure, will be im measurably increased when the railways of France, Belgium, Hol land, and Germany are fully brought into operation. In addition to which, the Government Commissioners having selected Dover as a Harbour of Refbge, and recommended the outlay . of 1,500,0001., it cannot fail of becoming a place of the greatest resort for the shipping and commerc i a l i nterests of t h e coun try,and perhaps the most import an t t own on th e sout h ern coas t .n every point of view, theref ore, w h ether for nat i onal security, or f U o ' r ere travelling excursions, or the invaluable interests of oar shipping and commerce, the paramount importance of a cheaper, more conve • nient, and accelerated intercourse between this great port and all parts of the kingdom, must be sufficiently obvious. This the pro moters fully anticipate will be attained by the proposed railway, which will form a portion of a grand trunk line, completing the chain of railway communication tpon the na - row gauge between the south-eastern coast, and Bristol and the western, northern, and mid land counties. The lise will commence at the terminus of the South-Eastern Rail way at Reigate, proceed thence by Dorking, GoOnlining, Farnham, and Odiham to the Basingstoke station, on the South-Western Rail way. It will then proceed by Andover towards Devizes, Trove bridge, and Bradford, with a branch to Bath, and pursuing its course through the Somersetsbire coal-field, throwing off a branch towards Itadstock into the heart of the collieries,;terrnitiate in ajunction with the Bristol and Birmingham Railway at Bristol. By its course through Dorking, Godalming, Farnham, and Odi ham, it will supply the railway acc ommo d at i on so much requ i red b y those towns, and connect the rich an d f ert i le hop districts of Surrey, Kent, and South Hants, and afford th e means of conveyanc e of their p withiiop-fair at Weyhill. the contemplated " R ea di ng , G u ildf or d, an d Reigate will afford to th e i n h a bi tants of Reading, Oxford, n r land counties generally , the best and shortest r ou t e to and t u o c i t e ts hn junction to aulii the iniwct ti the Continent, as well as to b Worthing, Hastings, Brighton, and the other watering-places in Sussex and Kent ; and a vast increase of visitors will undoubtedly be attracted to those places from the interior of England by the accommodation and facilities for travelling which will be accomplished by this and the proposed railway from ILeading. By its intersection of the South-Western Railway at Basingstoke, an d of the proposed Manchester and Southampton Railway further west, the present line will connect Dover towards the south, with Southampton (the packet station for the East and West Indies, &c.), Gosport, and Fortsmouth, and towards the north, with Cheltenham, Gloucester, Worcester, Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool, also and Holyhead, and in fact with th e w h o l e Nk of i N th o S rt h h re a w n s d b so ur3 l ; t , Chhwesatleer, Wales. At Basingstoke, also, this lino w;11 join the proposed London, Salis bury, and Yeovil Railway, and throw open to Dover and the south eastern counties the populous and wealthy cities of Salisbury and Exeter, the rich agricultural counties of Wilts, Dorset, Somerset, and Devon, the ports of Plymouth, Devonport, and Falmouth, and the mineral regions of Cornwall. To Devizes, Trowbridge, Bradford, and Bath, and the other towns in the vicinity of its course, the benefit :which this line will confer cAnnot be too highly estimated; to the coal districts of Somerset shire it will open large and constant markets both in Bristol and to the south and east, while to the inhabitants of Bristol especially, con necting its channel with the Straits of Dover and the Downs, pro viding a perfect line for telegraphic communication, and securing to them the whole of the trade between the south-east of England and the west and south of Ireland, it seems difficult, considering the enor mous traffic which must necessarily flow to that city, to conceive a project more deserving of their cordial support. In the memorable Parliamentary contest last session between two great rival companies, the Legislature for the first time admitted that principie of competition with existing interests which was claimed by the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company for the protection and benefit of the public ; and it is with no fear of the resn't that the promoters of the present undertaking invite attention to one distinguishing feature it contains, viz., that by the construction of the line from Bristol to Basingstoke, the Box Tunrel will be avoided, and a new and indeperdent communication will be established between Bristol and London, by a shorter line on the narrow gauge than by the devious course of the Great Western, inde pendently of all the advantages of the proposed central station at Hungerford-bridge, and the convenient access to the Thames both there and at Nive Elms, over the distant and inconvenient station of the Great Western at Paddington. In length the proposed line will be nearly 110 miles (assuming this Company to have the construction of that porJon between Reigate and Dorking, for which plans have been deposited by the South- Eastern Company) —the country through which it passes does not present any engineering difficulties of momeat, nor will any resi dential of ornamental property be interfered with except 'ander au imperative necessity. A reserve of shares will be made for landowners oh the line, and the Committee also retain to themselves the power to vary the course of the line with reference to any arrangements with existing interests and projected lines that may be considered advantageous to the shareholders. The capital proposed to be raised is 1,500,000 L, in 75,000 shares of 201. each, with a deposit of 2/. 2s. per share, to be paid on allotment. Power will be taken by the Act to allow interest, at 41. per cent. per annum, upon all deposits and subscriptions until the opening of the line, and no subscriber shall be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act has been obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. The Subscribers' Agreement and the Parliamentary Contract wil Fie ready for execution, and the scrip issued immediately upon pay. ment of the deposits. . _ Applications for shares must be addressed to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, No. 12, Gray's Inn-place, only ; but no appli cation will be attended to unless accompanied by a r e f erence t o a member of the Provisional Committee, one of the solicitors to the Company, or. a banker.

The imrortartee or connecting remote parts of E..gland by Rail ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns and districts, can scarcely be better exemplified than by the Live which is Low proposed to form a short and direct channel ef inter course between Oxford and Salisbury. Numerous projected sines now before the public will make Oxford at the north, and Salisbury at the south of the intended Railroad the central points from which various radii will diverge to the north-west, north, and north-east of the former, and to the east, south, and west of the latter; and the proposed Line from Cambridge to Oxford, continuing to that city the co•irse of Railway frern the north-eastern parts of the island, requires the appliance now suggested to effect a complete means of transit to the western and south-western counties. The Oxford and Salisbury Direct Railway, in addition to the benefits which will be conferred upon th e na ti on at large, by preferring a direct line of commun'cation be tween the north-eastern and western and south-wester n p tl a te rts ma o r f ke w t England, tons will afford t o th e b oroaeh of Abingdon, of Wantage, Hungerford, an d L u d gers h all, and animportant railway accommodati on , o f w hi c h s ti icts in which th ey are seated stand in much the ee agricultural adjacent villa d g i e s need, and will provide a facility for the interchange of produce be tween the rural, manufacturing, and commercial population of the kingdom. The want of railway accommodation has long been felt to press unfairly upon the Inhabitants of the important and thriving town of Abingdon. Their means and opportunities of competing with the more fortunate traders of those towns which are already provided with di rect channels of transit, are thus sevemly crippled. The same remark applies ha some degree to the market town of W an t age, w hi c h , as well as Hungerford and Ludgershall, claims a s h are o f th e pro fit s and a sh e advantages produced by railw a y t raff i c. It ore been determined to commence the proposedil ne at has therefore t.e Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdon to the station of the Great Western Railway at Steventon, thus giving to Abingdon a direct rail road to London. By continuing the projected railway to Wantage, the same facility of transit to London will be afforded to that place; and a perfect line of road from the north-eastern counties will, by a junc tion with the projection from Cambridge to Oxford, be produced, through the towns which have been named, Hungeriord and Ludgers hall to Salisbury, and thence to the south and western ports and dis tricts. A map of the line, and a statistical report of the whole country intended to be traversed, is in course of preparation, and with the names of an influential provisional Committee, will very shortly be published. In the meantime, further, information may be ob tained from Messrs. Elmslle and Preston, 47, Moorgate-street, London, solicitors to the undertaking, to whom, at present, applica Lion for shares may be made. B UCKINGHAMSHIRE RAILWAY, AND OXFORD AND BETCHLEY JUNCTION.

The ehieetof this undertaking is to supply railway communication to the townsand districts lying between the London and Birmingham*. and the Greit Western Railways, giving them the best means of ac vela to the iletropolie, and connecting them alio with Birmingham and the north-west of England, with the eastern lines of railway, with Oxford and the south, and with Worcester and Wales. The main line will communicate from the London and Binning ham Railway, near Harrow, and, passing to the north of Uxbridge. will proceed up the Valley by Chalfont, near Amersham and Chesham, to Missenden and Wendover, and thence to Aylesbury, from which. place it will extend to Buckingham, and, approaching Brackley, wil! terminate by a junction with the proposed Warwickshire and London Railway, near Banbury. In connexion with this part of the line, it is proposed to improve the communication between Aylesbury an ' London by taking a direct line from Aylesbury to Tring. In addition to the line above described, it is intended also to con struct a railway from the station of the London and Birminghamr. Railway, at Bletchley, through Bicester, to Oxford. From Bletchles to Bedford a railway is in course of construction by the Bedford ant London and Birmingham Company, and from Bedford communica tions eastward are proposed. . . The proposed BuCkingham and London and Birmingham Railway Company is amalgamated with this Company. Accurate surveys of the country have been taken by Mr. Robert Stephenson, and it has been ascertained that no engineering difilcu ty of importance presents itself. The undertaking has already received the sanction and support a very large proportion of the nobility, gentry, and proprietors land, through or near whose property it is Intended to pass. It is proposed that these lines should be made win the co-opera. tion and under the direction and superintendence of the London and Birmingham Railway Company, under a lease in perpetuity, at four per cent. per annum on the outlay, with an equal division of the sur plus profits. It is intended to allot the shares to the holders of scrip in the London, Worcester, and South S'afforshire Railway Company in certain proportions, subject to the approbation of the Committee ri Management, such shares as may be required for parties having 10c.,' interest being excepted. No further applications for Shares can be received. Oct. 1, 1945. VXETER, DORCHESTER, AND WEY irl MOUTH JUNCTION COAST RAILWAY.

Tottenham ' • 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 Holsdon-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, Gutterhedge, Kingsbury, Neesdon, Wllsdon, Wilsdon Green.

The distance front the town of Barnet to the station of the London and Birmingham Railway, 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 the length of the branch line to Barnet, will be 4 4 miles. From the junction with the Birmingham Railway to Chipping Barnet, 9% miles ; from the Decoy (near Brent•street, Hendon), on the proposed Barnet and North Metropolitan Junction Railway, to the Northern and Eastern Counties Railway, by Stamford-hill, 6% miles. 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 construction 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 compacy 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 the 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 fbel, and other commodities of general consumption, the great expense of which has long been felt by all classes as a most grievous ev,..

The principal objects of the scheme are-Ist. To remedy the evils of delay and inconvenience to which parties are, at the present time, necessarily subjected in proceeding from the west end of the metro polis to Croydon, or the most distant places on the South-Eastern and London and Brighton Railways, as well as the several sea ports and packet-stations on the coasts of Kent and Sussex; and 2d. To supply to the numerous and wealthy inhabitants of the district through which the intended line will pass (at present wholly with out railway accommodation), a greatly improved means for the in terchange of communication with the metropolis, and with each other. Commencing at the intended terminus of the South-Western Rail way, at Hungerford or Waterloo-bridge, the line will take the most practicable route to Kennington, from thence it will follow as near as possible the old turnpike road, passing through or near to the wealthy and populous districts of Stockwell, Clapham, Brixton, Tulse-hill, Streatham, Norwood, Beulah, and Thornton-heath, effect ing a junction at Croydon with the several existing or projected lines from that place. It is also proposed to form a branch or branches from the neigh bourhood of Streatham to Mitcham and Tooting, and thus to extend to those places, and their respective neighbourhoods, the advantages of a direct railway communication with the metropolis. A great portion of the traffic in passengers and goods upon the Brighton and Dover lines is supplied from the west-end of London and the Birmingham and Great Western Railways. The necessity of proceeding to the station at London-bridge, and by the present circuitous route to Croydon, is a serious and unnecessary inconveni ence, entailing, additional expense and delay. The removal of this long-felt grievance is a leading object with the promoters of the pre sent undertaking. They deem it right, however, to observe, in lay ingfcc t iT h scheme c,,i. s before v, 4, t f t , t , r t t i h w er ti h m a n y have s n o n b d s c o s l i u r t e e I v o n n t d e is r . - pen s able, but that on the other hand it will be their object to yield assistance to, and in return endeavour to secure it, from each com pany with which, this line may ultimately be connected. A glanCe at the map will show, that as a branch or arm of the London and Brighton Railway, this undertaking completes a straight line of communication from the west end of London to Croydon, Reigate, and Brighton, and renders the ports of Dover and Folke stone, as well as the several places on the South-Eastern line, more easily accessible from that part of the metropolis. The great amount of traffic at the present time upon the roads be tween Croydon, Mitcham, Tooting, &c., and London, proves at once that the existing railway facilities do not at all meet the exigencies of the mass of population to whom this line will be available. The population who reside upon or In the immediate neighbour hood of the proposed line, independent of the metropolis, and between the intended termini, exceeds 100,000, whose wants are almost wholly supplied from the London markets, &c., and whe have, at the present time, 'no mode of conveyance but upon the turnpike road. In the transit of building materials, corn, coal, lime, and other heavy goods, from the warehouses and wharfs on the banks of the Thames, and for marketable produce in each direction, this line must become to them particularly useful and convenient. Some idea may be formed of the local necessity of this railway when it is known that the number of passengers who avail themselves of the accommodation afforded by the several omnibuses and other public vehicles, running upon the turnpike-road, have been ascer tained to exceed 2,600 daily. An equal number (at least) proceed by private and other conveyances. Of foot passengers, although no accurate estimate can be 'formed of them, it is considered that they at least number ;our times that of passengers who travel by con veyance. The tonnage of goods it is calculated will be in hill pro portion to the receipt from passengers. Experience has fully proved, that on however liberal a scale the probability of future traffic in the transit of goods and passengers has been judged, almost every line of railway has, upon its completion, vastly exceeded the calculated amount. There are, however, in this instance, reasons for supposing that the extended facilities of com munication will cause more than an ordinary increase in the con veyance of passengers. The country which the line of railway will open is singularly picturesque and beautiful, and in addition to the admired districts of Brixton and Streatham, the long-favoured and much-frequented Beulah and Norwood will be placed within easy access, and become snore than over, objects of interest and delight to the visitor and resident of the metropolis. There can therefore be little doubt but that the present line must become a profitable and eligible scheme for the investment of capital. The promoters of this undertaking have pleasure in announcing that it is approved of, and will be generally supported by local in fluence. They have caused a partial survey to be made, which will be completed shortly, and they have the assurance of their engineers that there are not snore than ordinary difficulties to contend with. The liability of the shareholders will be restricted, by Act of Parlia ment, to the amount of their subscriptions; and power will be applied for in the Bill to allow interest at 4/. per cent. per annum on all calls from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line.
