Leicester to Coventry .... al This line will oommence at or near the Wlgston station of the Midland Counties Railway, will pass by or near the manufacturing localities of Narborough, Sapcote, Earl ithilton, Burbage, and Hinckley, through a district most ntvourable for engineering purposes, to a junction with the Trent Valley at Nun eaton, thence it continues nearly due west to the Whitacre station of the Birmingham and Derby Railway, and south-west by Bedworth to the Coventry station of the London and Birmingham Company. The line will communicate with the Swannington Railway either by means of the proposed Broughton Astiey branch of the Midlands, or or a separate branch to be forme.. by this Company ; thereby opening the entire of the Leicestershire coal-field to the counties south-east 0: Leicester. The Direclors, for the last fhw months, having used their best exertions for the interests of the Company, feel it their duty, now that the surveys, plans, and other arrangements are so far advanced, to acquaint their shareholders with the position and prospects of the undertaking. The Coventry, Bedworth, and Nuneaton line, which received the favourable report of the Board of Trade, and was before Parliament last session, forms part of the present projected plan for connecting Leicester, Coventry, and Birmingham. The Directors have, by personal inspection, accompanied by their engineer, satisfied themselves of the remarkable facilities presented by the district for executing the greater part of the line ; and from careful investigation the Directors have the pleasure of informing the shareholders that this undertaking eannot fail to prove a profitable investment if supported by local traffic only, and with the certainty that a through traffic from the eastern and western lines, combined with the great advantages afforded by the junction with the Trent Valley for the tr•.nsit of goods to and from Liverpool, Scotland, Ire land, and the United States, its importance cannot be over estimated. From the extent of population accommodated by this railway —fern the convenience afforded to the trade and manufactures of the Midland Counties—from the vast mineral resources of the dis tricts traversed, and from its position in regard to other important, established, and projected railways, the Directors feel confident that it will be amply remunerative to the Shareholder, and highly advan tageous to the public. The capital has bean subscribed, and the Parliamentary 4eeds have been executed, and the preliminary survey completed. A list of a new and highly influential local direction, and a map of the line, will be published in a few lays. By order, H. CASSIN, Secretary pro tem.

The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, is a direct line from London to Manchester, coming from London to Rugby along the London and Birmingham line, and proceeding from Rugby to Hinckley, through Market-Bosworth and Ashby-de-la-Zouch, to Derby, thence to Ashbourne, by Leek, to Macclesfield, and along the Macclesfield and Stockport, and Stockport and Manchester Railways, into Manchester. A branch to Buxton is in contemplation. The principle of this railway is to obtain a direct through line be tween some of the most important districts in the kingdom with the !Lem. possible amount of new railway, and consequently the smallest eTpenditure of capital. It will also establish the shortest direct communication between Derby and London, Sheffield and London, and between all the towns on the North Midland Railway and London. The Manchester, Derby and Rugby Railway will open a direot communicationbetween Manchester and Derby, and will considerably shorten the distance between Manchester and Nottingham, and Man eiester and Leicester. The line from Derby to Rugby will establish the direct communi cation from that town to London, which has been so long considered desirable by the inhabitants. The same will apply t , Sheffield, when the Sheffield and Chester field branch of the North Midland Railway is made. The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, in connexion with the Oxford and Rugby and Oxford, Southampton and Gosport Railways forms a di rest Manchester and Southampton line. THE GREAT ADVANTAGES of the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway over the other pro jects into Manchester, among others, are— First, That there are only seventy-flve miles of railway to be male, in place of one hundred and eighty-nine. Secondly, That it is a more direct line from London to Manchester then even the proposed direct lines. Thirdly, That it interferes with no existing railway property or vested interests. Fourthly, That it passes through a district rich in manufactures, agricalture, and minerals, bet which—more especially as regards lie goricaltural produce, and a convenient system of intercommunication (5r the conveyance of that agricultural produce, to supply the large manufacturing towns in the vicinity—has been hitherto left totally without railway communication. Fifthly, That it passes through the towns in its route, instead of avoiding them. Sixthly, That the whole line of railway from Rugby to Manchester win be completed and in working order within ten months from the gassing of the Act of Parliament. Seventhly, That the maps, plans, estimates, and other documents required by the standing orders of Parliament, will be lodged with the Parish Clerks, the Clerks of the Peace for the Counties, and the Parliamentary onices, on the 10th of November next, being twenty days within the time required by the regulations of Parlia- meat. In the allotment of shares a preference will be given, to the extent of 10,000 shares, to the holders of s t oc k i n the London and Bi n 1 g barn Railway, also of 2,000 shares t o th e shareholders in the Oxford,- Reutitemptort, and Gosport Pailwaylampany, of 1,000 shares to Oxford and Rugby Railway Companr,"and 2,000 sha res t o the the - elhester and Birmingham Railway Company. A pplioations for shares may be made to the Solicitor of Ow Com pany, or any of the agents or local atlicitora of the Company, but all such applications must be accompanied by a reference to a mem ber of the Provisional Committee, Cr banker, solicitor, or stock blear. !so applications for sharoa will be received after Friday next, the 20th of September instant.

Potter and Collingridge, _5, Basinxhall-street ; W. B. James, 5, BasMghall-street. SEcirreaY—Hilton Thomas Jenkins, Esq. The geographical position of Worcester has caused its adoption as the point where the broad gunge trunk lines of the west are to hare a common terminus. From Oxford the Great Western Company have decided on constructing a line of rail :—another projea under the pa tronage of the same powerfhl direction is now befbre the public, uniting Worcester with Warwick ; and, that the broad gauge will he carried from Worcester Into Wales, and to the Irish packet stations on that coast, is now no longer doubtful. This undertaking will OMII - 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 a succession of picturesque scenes, it reaches 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 intervening districts, upwards of 30,000 persons are located. Leaving Stourbridge a little to the east, the line is taken to itridgenorth, a town enjoying an active Inland trade, and possessing woollen manufactures and iron works, that gives employment to a population of about 15,000. Pass ing through or near to Much Wenlock, Broeeley, and Madeley, from which place there will be a branch to Shrewsbury, the line ascends Colebrook Dale, and approaching in its course Wellington and Wan, enters Whltchurch. From this central places branch will be formed to Norwich via Stoke, forming a junction with the Liverpool and Crowe Railway. The trunk line will continue from Whitchurch, and passing through or near 3falpas, have its northern terminus in the city of Chester. In estimating the probable am •ant of revenue which the Worces ter and Chester Railway may be expected to yield, many sources of profit present themselves, such are the dense population located along the length of the Severn Vale, and the enriching works of industry in which they are engaged. Amongst the latter may be mentioned the China manufactories of Worcester ; the iron, coal, and earthen ware works at Broseley and other places; the agricultural produce brought to Stonrport market ; the inexhaustible fields of coal and mines of iron ore in the vicinity of Colebrook Dale, Ironbridge, 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 or 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 other localities. As a link in the railway network of England, or as auxiliary to existing or projected lines passing In various directions, few schemes hitherto proposed appear to afford greater inducement for investment, or a wider range of accommcdation for traffic and travelling. This project constitutes a lengthened link in the slain that will connect Liverpool with Bristol, the grand trunk of the West of England ;—its southern terminus, Worcester, is the half way station of the London and Port Dynnliaen broad gauge line : by projected lines a direct communication will be afforded west ward to Swansaa and Aberystwlth, and, eastward, to Warwick and Northampton, Cambridge, Peterborough. Harwich, Lynn, Lincoln, an :I Hull. The line has been repeatedly and carefully examined by the Com pany's acting engineer, who reports that the rail for many miles may be laid on the natural level—that the gradients are in every in stance favourable—that the geological structure of the districts to be traversed is equally so, and that the want of such a line of com munication is Acknowledged It the interests seated on its proposed course.

The objeet of this line of Railway is to complete the ebairier coast communication, and form a connexion with lines already estftlished 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, Longhrea, Athenry, Monivea, Tuam, Balllnrobe, Cast!char, Westport, Foxford, Ballina, Kilnlla, 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, Valenti*, 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 paint of view, will be the establishment of an it.tercourse between the population of the extreme north and that of the extreme south, as well as placing the trade of, and communisation with, Scotland, within the easy reach of itll towns of any importance in Ireland. Added to this the cer tainty, that en the completion of the projected southern, eastern, and wasters 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 stations for postal communication between the two countries; it is impossible to over-rate the value of this truly national projection. The counties which this railway traverses abundantly supply the English markets with cattle, pigs, ti.c. This line, communicating with so many ports, will afford the greatest facilities for the shipping of this portion oitrade, some idea of the extent of which may be formed from the fact of upwards of five hundred fairs being held annually in its immediate vicinity, among them, the fair of Ballinasloe, ac knowledged the greatest for sheep and cattle in the British islands. It has been ascertained that the country presents 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 !. eta 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. Power will be applied for in the Act—and In the meantime Is hereby given to the Committee—to increase the capital, if necessary; to alter or abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, or enter into arrangements with any other company or companies ; and also to nominate the first directors of the company. ...... - The Parliamentary contract and subscribers' agreement will be ready for signature on payment of the deposits. Subjoined will be found, in the form of an appendix : First. The population of the counties and principal towns through wiiich the line will pass, showing that accommodation will be afforded to more than one million and a half of inhabitants. • Secondly. Extracts from the Railway Commissioners' Report en Ireland, giving accounts of the exports and imports at the different harbours on the line, in 1835, but the vast increase in trade which has taken place since that period, must very much enlarge any esti mate to be made on their data. Thirdly, An account of thenineral products before referred to. A perusal of these differen tables, it is presumed, will afford con clusive evidence of the profitable nature of this undertaking. It will be seen, from the accompanying plan, that the railway in tersects many main lines, and will thus contribute to, and receive from them a eonsiderable amount in passenger and merchandise traffic. From the estimates that have been made, a return of at least 10 per cent. must he realised on the capital.

S. and J.Jt. Poole At Tiverton At Truro At Penzance At Falmouth The object of this line is to effect a direct cOmmnnication between London and the Laud's End. In a national point of view such a line is indispensable. With the advantage of a direct railroad, Falmouth, from it' position at the western extremity of the kingdom, would undoubtedly long since have been the principal port on that coast. With the advantage of at least 280 miles of heavy road, that place has attained its high po sition as a Packet Station. Southampton, with far less natural ad vantages, has, since the opening of the South-Western Railway, in creased its imports from 203,000/. to 3,000,00 01 . per annum. At Bris tol, before the opening of the Great Western Railway, the imports were declining ; since then they have very considerably increased. The merits of a line to the'Land's End as an investment for ca pital, it was not left to the present Company to discover. The Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Railways having already reached Exeter, it has been in contemplation to extend that line to Fal mouth by way of Plymouth; and various other projects have been set on foot on the conviction that Falmouth must be reached by railway. The object of this prospectus is to show that no other line than the present can ultimately satisfy the exigencies of the country in regard to this, its most important outport—" the natural Packet Station of the empire." The present project is distinguished by this—that it is direct. It is as nearly as possible a straight line from London to the Land's End. The London, !Seth, and Bridgewater Company having amalga mated with this Company, the immense local influence commanded by them will now contribute to the great national object of a direct line ; while means have been taken for securing the traffic and afford ing all the. accommodation contemplated by that Company. The Difect Western availing itself of the Great Western Railway so far as Reading, pursues its course by or near Newbury, Hunger ford, Great Bedwin, Marlborough, Devizes, the manufacturing dis trict of Trowbridge (from which a diverging line will be carried by Bradford direct to Bath), Westbury, Frome, Shepton Mallet, Wells (from which another diverging line will be taken to Bridgewater), Glastonbury to Taunton, being shorter by about thirty-two miles than any existing or projected railways between these points, and without a tunnel. From Taunton the Bristol and Exeter Railway (now leased to the Great Western) is traversed to Tiverton, whence it is proposed to carry this line direct to the Land's End, Falmouth, St.. Ives, and Penzance; being shorter by about sixty miles than the lately proposed line by way of Plymouth, and effecting, in the whole distance frorn London to Falmonth, a saving of about ninety miles. With respect to the traffic between London and Tiverton, it is needless to say more than that there Is alteady thorough traffic suffi cient to justify the construction of this portion of - the Direct Wes tern ; that it will shorten the distance from London to Tiverton about 32 milea that it will triverife rich and populouS aCricultural and manufacturing districts, and receive a large amount of traffic as well from railways now in course of construction as from others pro- jected with every chance of success. . As to the traffic on the lower portion of the line, it is evident that the vast 'number of merchant vessels continually detained in the Channel by:adverse winds, would effect an immense saving both in insurance and time, by discharging their cargoes at Falmouth, and at once transmitting them to their destination by means of this railway; and therefore—without speculating on the extent to which the ports on either side of the great promontory of the Land's End may, by means of this railroad, attract the commerce respectively of Bristol and Southampton ; to what extent the inexhaustible mineral wealth of Cornwall, and the unrivalled agricultural resources of Devonshire may be further developed, or the genial climate of Penzance and Mount's Bay, " the Montpellier of England," attract a larger propor tion of winter visitants—it is obvious that this line will command a traffic both in goods and passengers, from its western terminus, the amount of which may be said to be without limit. A glance at the map will make it manifest that no competing trunk line can ever be established between Tiverton and the Land's End. As between Taunton and Reading, an inspection of the map will show a vast ex tent of midland distri it, comprising rich and populous parts of So mersetshire, Dorsetshire, and Wiltshire, now altogether destitute of railroad accommodation. Recurring to the features of this project as a national work, one of the greatest in point of magnitude, of vital importance in the event of war, and of almost incalculable advantage to ti►e general and packet commerce of the kingdom ; it !may not be out of place to quote here the following expressions of Sir Robert Peel. Speaking of the project of a direct line from London to Liverpool through the Trent Valley, which bore much the same relation to the Dinningliam and Grand Junction that this boars to the Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Railways, he is reported to have said :—" I consider that tile com munication between the metropolis and the great outports to be not a question of hours, but a question of minutes." Of the necessity of this particular line, Parliament has already expressed an opinion ; for in the report of the Committee on the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth line, which was promoted by the Great Western Railway Company, it was stated that that Company had been required to pledge itself not hereafter to oppose a direct line to Falmouth ; and it may be further observed, that a proposed line from Plymouth to Fahnouth was last session rejected, on the ground that it might bo supposed to interfere with that great national object. The survey of the line has been to a great extent completed, and correct estimates of the expenditure and returns are in a state of for wardness, and the whole will be ready for the next session of Par liament. It is sufficient, as to these points, here to state that there are no engineering difficulties in any part of the line which have not been repeatedly surmounted in other cases ; that the first portion will be constructed at an unusually small expense ; that the undertaking will meet with the cordial support, concurrence, and co-operation of the landowners, and that the Directors are justified in asserting that this will prove to be one of the most remunerative railways in the kingdom. Powers will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at our pounds per centum per anmun on the deposits, and preference in the allotment of shares will be given to the proprietors of the land through which the line will pass, and to the shareholders in the Great Western, the Bristol and Exeter, and other railways connected with the Direct Western district. Applications for shares, in the form subjoined, to bo addressed to the solicitors to the Company or to the Secretary. London, September 11, 1843. FORM OF APPLICATION.

That another and a more direct line of railway Is necessary between the metropolis and the manufacturing districts around Manchester , is now fully admitted, and the question is, which is the beat line to be adopted. The above proposed railway will form the shortest and most di rect route from London to Manchestef, and will therefore complete the direct communication with the metropolis at a much - less expen diture of capital than by either of the projected London and Man chester lines (Remington,'s and AshupsCs). the actual distance to be construbtB4 bens 'l3, UMW of 170 to ISO Wit. A careful preliminary survey has determined the promoters of this railway to adopt nearly a straightline from Rugby to3lacclestleld, an increased expenditure of 200,0001. or 300,0001. judicially applied in the present perfected state of civil engineering, and at the reduced cost of the execution of earth works, will prove in the end a far greater real economy, both to the Company Itself in the saving effected in the annual expense of working, and also, what is of more importance, to the country in general; by accomplishing, at a much lass cost, the same end proposed by an entire and distinct line from London to Manchester. _ _ " ' ' These considerations have not been sufficiently kept in view by other parties who have also proposed to make a railway from Rugby to Macclesfield, but who, by deviating from the direct traot to pursue valleys and to avoid the irregularities of the face of the country, obviously lose the advantages propos - ed by this Company. The Parliamentary decision on the choice of the London and Brighton Railway Is a parallel case, the direct line, although presenting more difficulties to overcome, and involving a greater outlay, having been adopted by Parliament in preference to the many competing projects, in a more or less sinuous direction, which were at that time supported in the House by very influential parties. Should it be found necessary, arrangements have been made by which additional lines of rails will be laid between Rugby and Lon don on the London and Birmingham Railway, whereby the surplus traffic northwards will he abundantly provided for. The line also possesses the singular advantage of affording the shortest and most direct route from Manchester to Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth, a feature presented by no other proposed railway. By adopting the Rugby and Oxford branch of the Great Western as far as Didcot, and thence the proposed Oxford, Southamp ton, Gosport, and Portsmouth line, the distance from Manchester to Southampton will be twenty-three miles less than by any other route, and on this account the project has been warmly supported by the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth Railway Company. The deviations from a perfectly straight line between Rugby and Macclesfield to avoid high ranges of hills, ornamental parks, or valuable buildings are very slight, and the line in general offers no engineering difficulties of any magnitude. The towns more directly interested as a local line are Nuneaton, Hinckley, Atherstone, Market Bosworth, Burton-upon-Trent, Sutbury, Ashbourne, and Leek. The Company has made arrangements with the North London Junction Railway Company, whereby it has secured the use of their station (of the extent of six acres) in the centre of the City of London, at the bottom of Moorgate-street, which will prove of the utmost importance to this line. Amidst the many railway projects that now • occupy the public mind, and involve a vast outlay of capital, it will readily he conceded that a line that will attain such important results at so small an outlay of capital, and of the time required for its construction, and without interfering with any existing vested interests, must meet with general approbation, and at the same time offer a very excellent nvestment for Capital The shareholders in the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Ports mouth, in the London and Birmingham, and in the Manchester and Birmingham Railways, will have a preference in the allotment of the shares. The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share holders beyond the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament is obtained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 41. per cent. interest on all calls.

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 Coldfleld, and Erdington, to the town of Binningham. 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 lust below Lichfield, and, proceeding along the Trent Valley Line, via Tamworth and Rugby, will form the shortest and most direct route from Manchester to Loudon, but will leave Birmingham on the west, which can only be reached by the circuitous route through Tamworth, a distance of twenty-five 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-five, and constitute the shortest and best line between Manchester and Birmingham 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 ne;gh 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 he raised is 300,0001., in 15,000 Shares of 20./. 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 be 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 be 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.

By the junction of this line with the Norfolk Railway, and with the lines to Yarmouth and Lynn, this important locality will obtain the shortest and most economical route to all parts of England. This undertaking will prove of incalculable advantage to the Agri. culturists, to the owners of the large and important mills on the River'Bure, and to the monsters and traders of the district, in the transmission of their commodities, and by placing them within easy communication of the port.; ant places from which coals and goads of every kind consumed in the district, are obtained. Tin distinction which Cromer has deservedly obtained, as a most delightful watering-place, will now be considerably enhanced by the direct communication thus established between it and all parts of the kingdom. The unanimous and most cordial support of the merchants and traders of Norwich is given to this project, •as carrying out the prin ciple of direct communication for which they have so earnestly contended. _ This line will be made with the co-operation and support of the Norfolk Railway Company (the amalgamated Norwich and Yar mouth, and Norwich and Brandon Companies) ; and powers will be taken to ratify agreements made with the Directors •f that Company fbr leasing It at 4 per cent. per annum on the outlay, and an equal division of the surplus profits. Competent engineers have already surveyed the line, and have re ported most favourably on the project, which is free from engineering difficulty. The greatest care has been taken to select the line which is best for the public interest, and at the same time to avoid interference with any ornamental property. Application for shares, which, on account of their limited number, CAR only be attended to from applicants of first-rate respectability, may be made to the Provisional Committee, at the Company's offices. 25, iMoorgate-street, London, in the following form ; or to tho Solicitors in London or Norwich, or of Messrs.
