One of the first objects of this Company will be to obtain a most central and accessible terminus in London, and Farringdon-street has bests fixed upon 'for that purpose. It is proposed to make a tunnel from that point to the Great Western station, from whence the line will be continued in as direct a course as poss,ble to Holyhead In its progress it will pass through or near to the following towns : —Rickmausworth, Chesham, Wendover, and Aylesbury; it will then proceed to within a short distance of Bicester and Deddington, and from thence to Banbury ; it will touch upon Kineton er Kingtown, thence proceed onward to Stratford-on-Avon, approach within a short distance of Warwick, Alcester, and Worcester, where it will cross the Birmingham and Gloucester Railroad near to Bromsgrove, and proceeding thence to Kidderminster, Bridgnerth, and Wenlock, near to Broseley and Coalbrookdale, will enter the Vale of the Severn, which it will traverse to Shrewsbury ; it will thence con tinue its route up the course of the Severn, and passing into the Vale of the River Vyniwy, will proceed to Llan-y-mynech, Llaurhaladr, and Mecimant, accommodating Welchpool, Oswestry, and Llangoll6i. At this point there are three passes, which have been inspected, and it remains for the engineer to select one as an entrance or passage into the Vale of the River Dee, when the line will proceed round by - Corwen into the Vale of the River Alwen, from whence it will run nearly parallel with the great Holyhead Mail-coach-road, by Pentre voelas to Capel Cerrig, it will then descend the Vale of Nant Francon to Bangor and Holyhead. This line will in its progress feed, and be also fed by the most cons!. siderable railroads of the kingdom, particularly those of the Great Western ; the Birmingham, Gloucester, and Bristol; the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton ; the London and Birmingham ; and the South Staffordshire Railway. As this last line will connect Dudley, Bilston, Wedneslatry, Walsall, and Lichfield with the Derby Railway and the Grand Junction Railway, it would be superfluous to expatiate en the advantages of bring ing all those important centres of the coal and iron trade and other traffic, and the vast coal and iron fields of Shropshire into close intercourse, and thus estaMishing the cheapest and quickest means of transit between the minerals of Shropshire and the furnaces of Staffordshire, and the markets of Dublin, London, and Birmingham. The success of the undertaking is secured beyond a doubt, by the obvious fact that it will not only bring the richest mineral and manufiteturing portions of England much nearer to the two capitals, but it will open for the carriage of the valuable pro duce of these districts the intermediate country not at present pos sessed of any direct line of railway communication. On the other hand, the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Railway will g!ve to London mut the neighbourhood of Birmingham a route to Dublin shorter by nearly seventy miles than that of any other exist ing railroad ; and finally, enable travellers to complete the entire distance in ten hours. It will also ensure two mail deliveries in the day. . . Up to the point where the line approaches Corwen, no engineering difficulties are presented. At Corwen a deviation from the straight line may be requisite to avid tunnelling, after which a straight line will be resumed to Bangor, where that already ii construction will be adopted for the rest of the route to Holyhead ; or, if found de sirable, power will be taken in the Bill to continue an independent line by Reaumaris to Holyhead. After a careful investigation of the traffic arising from passengeri, the conveyance of mineral and agricultural produce, and the direct transmission of the mails, the Directors feel warranted in anticipating a return of at least ten per cent. on the capital invested. A treaty is in progress with a Steam Navigation Company to run powerful steamers between the harbours of Holyhead and Kingston on the arrival of the trains, so that passengers and merchandise may be booked throughout from London to Dublin, including all the inter mediate stations, and be thus enabled to complete the entire distance in ten hours, without the inconvenience so painfully felt of changing from the conveyance of one proprietary to that of another. The railways now in active pr• gress in Ireland, running from Dublin north and south throughout the heart of the island, render it self evident that the chain of communication between the sister countries is, by this present undertaking, rendered at once - complete and Intimate to the last degree. As the leading aim of this Company is to save time and distance, every attention of the Directors, and every advancement in science will be made available to gain the utmost possible amount of speed, com patible with safety, the lines being formed expressly for this end ; while, finally, the very lowest rate of fares will he adopted for both passengers and traffic, and the public will find in the improvement of the inferior carriages, and some additional comforts for those of the first class, that the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Rail way will be placed in advance of any other now existing, and in all Its details will be rendered worthy an enterprise se national in its character. ----- Application will be made for a Bill to incorporate the Company early in the next session. The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow Interest at 4/. per cent. per annum on the amount of the subscriptions paid up ; and no subscri!,er will be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription.

The Committee of Management hereby give Notice that they have COMPLETOD the ALLOTMENT of SHARES, and that t he usual letters are thla , day issued. In the arduous duty of deciding on claims unprecedented, It is believed, in their number and respecta bility, the Committee have been obliged to give a preference to ap plicants locally interested, or likely to bring to bear for tha Company a large share of legitimate influence. The numerous persons, with undoubted claims on the score of wealth and social standing, whose applications have either been passed over or cut down, are requested to accept this reason as the Committee's apology. The Committee desire to add, that while attestations of public support are daily reaching them from the most Influential quarters, the:engineering preparations, under Mr. Braithwaite, are so far ad vanced, that the project cannot fail to be placed before Parliament in a manner the most satisfactory to the Shareholders.

SECRETARY —Harry Burrard Fantail, Esq._ The Provisional Committee of the North London Junction Rail. way Company have great satisfaction In informing their subscribers that negotiations are now pending between the Provisional Commit tee of this Company and the Directors of the Railways north of the Thames of such a character as to assure them that the City terminus of this Company will form the Grand Terminus of all the City traffic north.of London. To effect this important object, an area of 10 acres of ground (the southern boundary of which is within 500 yards of the Bank of England) has been most carefully surveyed and valued, and the re port of the architect and engineer is of so favourable a character as to have induced the Provisional Committee to determine on purchasing the entire site, and it has, therefore, been resolved by them to in crease the capital of this Company to 1,300,0901. The Provisional Committee consider it of paramount importance to secure within the limits of their City terminus, the amplest and most complete accommodation for the traffic of each of the railway companies who may co-operate with them, an object which will be enacted by opening the very extensive and valuable space of ground alluded to, within the centre of the City of London. In conjunction with this enlarged plan, it is intended to embrace that of a branch line to the present station of the Eastern Counties Railway in Shorediteh, which will effect an entire junction between the eastern and western parts of the metropolis ; and at the same time afford a direct communication between the whole of the rail. ways, which reach London lithe north of the Thames, and give full development to each of their schemes by creating for them a common centre within the heart of the metropolis. Independently, therefore, of the almost incalculable local traffic which the position of their City terminus will ensure to this Corn pally, will he added that of those companies also who will eventually co-opera - e with the North London Junction Railway Company, and the perfection of a project of no ordinary magnitude and importance will be realised throughout the whole of this short but very valuable line of railway. A lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the entire district throe gh which this Company proposes to run this Nile; by this means the most casual observer will be enabled to ascertain that the environs of London, north of the Thames, will be placed to immediate communication with the City ; while the dense popu lation of the City will enjoy a facility of connexion with its suburban localities, necessarily affording it the :greatest accommodation. With such important local resources, therefore, together with the vast traffic on which the shareholders of this Company have a right to rely for profit, a large amount of revenue may be fairly and justly anticipated, fully commensurate with the outlay of the proposed capital. That revenue will be derived thus : The daily passenger traffic on the Great Western amounts to 3,345, one-half of which reaches the City. The London and Bir mingham amounts to 4,322 daily, two-thire.s of which reach the City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,400 persons daily, half of whom pass to the West-end of London. The omnibus traffic daily is 30,894 passengers, two-thirds of which may be given to the City. Passengers from the suburban districts reaching the City, now un accommodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily. From these sources the following products are derived:— rer Ann. Passengers from the Great Western and Birmingham Rail way, at 6d. each.. _ . Passengers from the Eastern Counties to the City terminus of this Company, at 3d. each . ..... . 12,061 - . Omnibus passengers' traffic, at 6d. each, as taken at present ..... ......................................... 187,929 142,208 tons of goods and parcels pass annually from the Great Western and the'Londod and Birmingham Rail- ways into the City, at an average cost of carriage of 3s. Gd. per ton throughout. For the carriage of these goods and parcels, therefore, at the reduced cost of 2s. 6d. per ton, a revenua may be derived of ••.••• • • • • • •• • . •• 17,776 From the carriage of goods, parcels, and mails, bringing in to the Eastern Counties Railway Company a revenue of 40,0001. a year, may be derived the sum of •••. • • • . 10,000 The total of their calculations amounts t 0.... £280,289 Deduct 40 per cent. for workers' expenses .. £168,174 Estimated Rental to be received from other Companies for the use of Terminus .. • ... £198,174 Being a revenue of more than 15 per cent. en a capital •f 1,300,0001. _ . The capital, as now extended, will be divided tato 65,000 shares of 201. each, upon which a deposit of 21. 2s. per share will be payable forthwith. • A portion of the shares will be allotted to parties locally interested. The remainder will be distributed amongst the present shareholders and the public generally, upon application being made by them in a manner hereinafter mentioned. The Directors, in compliance with the advice of their Parlia mentary Agents, deem it expedient, in consequence of the recent standing orders of the House of Lords, to require a deposi of 101. per cent. The shareholders are, therefore, requested,• in order to carry this arrangement into effect, to deposit their scrip certificate with the Secretary, on or before the Ist of October next, in exchange for which they will obtain a certificate upon which the bankers of the Company will receive the arn...st of the difference payable, and, upon producing the receiptand signing the new Parliamentary Deeds, fresh scrip will be delivered to them.

Christian and surname in f a x .. Business or Profession • , .. Reference....." " . • •"" ' • • .... —• • This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda and Ely Wallies, with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles dis tance from the Port of Cardiff; and to open a new mineral district, one of the richest and most important in South Wales, which is at present without the means of transit for its immense and valuable products. It will pass through the central portion of the great coal-field of Glamorganshire, where iron-stone also abounds with the coal Ia im mense quantities, and laying, geologically speaking, nearly eat, and, obtainable, for the most part, by proper levels. The coal in addition to its being of excellent quality for iron making, as is proved at Mer thyr and Aberdare, is also, like that of those districts, of the very bat descriptirn for steam purposes, being nearly smokeless, although inflammable, indeed so pre-eminently is the superiority of this de scription of coal established for steam purposes over any other, that the demand for it far exceeds the supply, and promises, accord ing to the opinion of the most eminent marine engineers, to super sede all others for purposes of steam navigation. This source of traffic alone will afford a handsome return for the capital invested, as has been demonstrated in every instance where even tram-roads or canals have been constructed to open the mineral resources of other less promising Tallies in Wales than the Rhondda, which is cele brated for the abundance, quality, and facility of obtaining its pro ductions. An inexhaustible supply of limestone (so necessary for the manu facture of iron and for agricultural purposes) may be obtained by means of this Railway, much nearer and cheaper than by any other line. This line will afford to the increasing populatisi of the rick vales of Ely mill Rhondda a much desired communication with the great market town aid port of Cardiff, from whence, at present, they may be said to be almost excluded. _ It is intended that the line shall commence at Elaen Rhondda, the head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down by a natural pass between the hills at Ffrwd Amws, a distance of eight miles, where it will enter the Ely Valley and proceed down (a further distance of six miles) to Lanelay-bridge, near Lantrissent, and there join the South Wales Railway, thus opening a communication under the most advantageous circumstances as to distance, with all the ports in the Bristol channel. • A preliminary survey has already been made by competent par ties, and it is found that the country admits of highly favourable gradients, so much so that it is confidently anticipated that the works will be executed very considerably under the advertised ca pital. The landowners along the line are favourable to this undertaking, and the names of many influential proprietors win be found on the Provisional Committee. No Subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of his de posit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. Until an Ast of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Company shall be under the control of the Managing Directors, to whom power is given to allot the Shares, and to apply the funds of the Company In payment of all the expenses incurred in its forma tion, and in the preparation of the plans and sections to be submitted to Parliament. Power will be applied for in the Act (and in the meantime is hereby given to the Managing Directors as above), to raise any addi tional capital, to extend or 'abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, or enter into any arrangements, by amalgamation or otherwise, with any other company or companies, and also to nomi nate the first Directors of the Company. In the ailottment of Shares, a preference will be given to landowners on the line and other parties locally interested. Prospectuses and Maps may be had of and applications fbr Shares may be addressed In the form annexed to, W. B. James, Esq. Solicitor, 19, Northumberland-street, Strand; to W. Morgan, Esq. Solicitor, Bridgend, Glamorganshire ; and to the undermentioned Brokers ; but no application for Shares will receive the attention of the Committee, unless accompanied by a reference to one or more of the Provisional Committee, Solicitors, or the Engineers: - - London—Messrs.

The proposed line will commence at the jniection of the Manchester and Leeds, and York and North Midland Railways, near Wakefield, and will terminate by means of a junction with the Eastern Coun ties Railway, at Bedford (to which place it is the intention of that Company to extend their line in the ensuing session of Parliament), and by thus availing itself as far as possible of the existing railways, will complete the most direct and least expensive trunk line, from London to Leeds, York, and Hull. It will pass in its route within an available distance of Wakefield, Pontefract, Doncaster, Rotherham, East Redford, Nottingham, Newark, Grantham, Melton Mowbray, Oaklitun, and Stamford. The importance of such a line is obvious, both from the nature of its cow se (embracing, as it does, a most extensive population within its limits), as also from the absence of any direct communication for the conveyance of passengers and merchandise. By the construction of this railway, railway communication to London will be given to Peterborough and Leicester (by means of the Systole and Peterborough Railway), to Newark and Nottingham, (by the Nottingham and Lincoln line(, and to Shenield and Gains borough, )by the Sheffield and Gainsborough line), by a much shorter route than by any existing railways. Independently of the advantages offered to the towns in the seve ral counties through which this line will pass, the line in itself, con- sidered as a direct trunk line between London and Leeds, is sufficient to justify its formation, it being well known that the existing traffic between these two places would produce such a reture on the capital required, as to admit of a dividend equal to that of any railway in operation; but when it is borne in mind that a company is being formed for the purpose of connecting Glasgow with ;Leeds by means of a junction with the York and Carlisle Railway, no better line can be presented to the public, as it will not only effect a direct communication from Glasgow and the western parts of Scotland to London, but would also connect Edinburgh and the eastern parts of Scotland, as well as Durham and Newcastle (by the York and North Midland, and Great North of England Railway s) with the metropo lis, which would be considerably shorter titan the accommodation ' offered by any other company ; and when cost of construction is con sidered, there cannot be a doubt but that preference would be given to the Great Leeds and London Direct Railway. The fact of the Eastern Counties Railway being connected by a branch line with the East and West India Docks on the river Thames, and the Railway Company leaving recently leased for 999 years the extensive pepper warehouses belonging to those docks, which are capable of receiving 12,000 tons of goods, together with wharfs adjoining, where the shipment and trans-shipment of goods from all parts of the world can take place, is a most important fea ture in favour of the direct communication from the manufacturing towns of Glasgow and Leeds offered by the Great Leeds and London Direct Railway and, by branch railways to the main trunk line, through which all goods from the manufacturing districts could be conveyed at once to these warehouses for shipment, thereby avoiding the present delay and expense of cartage, and in reality establishing an almost direct and in va l ua bl e connexion between the r i vers Cl y de and Thames. It has been ascertained that there are no engineering difficulties, that the w irks will be easy, and the gradients remarkably good, and that it will not materially interfere with any ornamental property. 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. It is proposed to take power in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum on all calls until the opening of the line, and also to extend the line to Hertford on the Eastern Counties lbw, in the event of that Company not prosecuting their lino to Bedford.

The Committee of Management of this Direct Railway beg to ex press regret at the delay in issuing their Letters of Allotment, which has been solely occasioned through the unprecedented number of applications for shares to which they hare been required to give consideration, and which has thrown upon them some very exten- Sive labours, from which, however, they are happy to say they will shortly be relieved, as the Letters of Allotment are now in the course of preparation, and will all be sent to their different destinations by the evening post of to-morrow. The Committee also much regret their inability to make allotments to a very numerous amount of applicants of unexceptionable repute; but tkey have, in every in stance, endeavoured to arrive at their decisions in a manner best cal culated to promote alike the interests of the public and the various shareholders and promoters of this very important project.

The Committee of Management regret that the number of applications for shares (exceeding one million in amount) have made it a very difficult matter to arrange, and they trust that the numerous and respectable claimants for shares, which it was:impos sible for 'the Allotment Committee to accommodate, will take this into their consideration, and assign the failure of their reoest to this reason solely.

COOPER:Eu - 1., sWondedby Mr. IVALs RAIN, and unanimously iesolved— 1. That it is highly desirable that railway communication be esta blished between Hounslow and London, and that it be as direct as the nature of the country will permit, and follow as closely as pos sible the old coach thoroughfare. Proposed by Major JELF SHARP, seconded by B. J. ARMSTRONG, Esq., and unanimously resolved-- 2. That having heard and considered a statement of the course which the projected lino of Mr. Page will take, this meeting is of opinion that such line is most highly calculated to promote the in terests of this town and neighbourhood, and presents a prospect of far greater advantage than any line crossing the river, and not pro ceeding directly to the centre of the metropolis. Proposed by JAMES MONTGOMBEY, E 5., seconded by Mr. KING, . . . . and unanimously adopted— 3. That the line projected by Mr. Page Is particularly entitled to the support of the inhabitants of this town and neighbourhood, for the following amongst other reasons:— I. That it is the line originally proposed by the inhabitants of this district. 2. That it follows the direct course of the ancient thoroughfare from Hounslow to London, without crossing the River Thames. 3. That means having been taken for extending the original ter minus from Milbank to the immediate vicinity of Charing-cross, it presents a more convenient access to tke metropolis than any other line. That this meeting, therefore, pledge themselves to give every as sistance in promoting the success of this line.

The proposed railway will commence at Rugby, on the London and Birmingham Railway, the terminus. of the Midland Counties and Trent Valley Railways, and the point to which several other projected railways converge, and will proceed through •r near to Leamington, Warwick, Stratford-on-Avon, Evesham, Tewkesbury, and Cheltenham, t• Gloucester. The length of the line will be about 56 miles. The advantages that will result from the construction of this line are numerous and highly important, and such as cannot fail to secure a very large amount of local and through traffic, and a highly-re munerative return upon the capital invested. By means of existing and proposed rallwaj 8, it will form a complete chain of railway com munication between the whole of the midland and north-eastern counties of England, the populous cities and towns before-named, and the southern and western districts, and thus bring Leicester, Not tingham, Newark, Lincoln, Gainsborough, Great Gri msb y , and till,. into direct communication with the favourite and fashi onable spas of Leamington and Cheltenham, the richly-productive. and Plymouth, far-famed Vale of Evesham, and the seaports of Gloucester, Bristol, and Falmouth, and those of South Wales. T inhabitants and visitors of the much-stlvortaeinntead directw • ater places of Leamington and Cheltenham, line between those resorts, instead of the pre'sveitlilttchicitiitintonttisireoutttitoenthwroiltigchh Birmingham, affording that faciliiityit o‘fililnatlesroconfl Ord the utmost fa has long been ardently desired; e il visitors who, attracted as well by ofaccess to the "w"mera memory of Shakspcare, annually the beauty of the scenery as the resart to Stratford-on -Avon . To those passengers from the etanedutntobrltgh-ocaffsttliediraenestlteooGf lou- Gl ou cester, the line from Tewkesbury, the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway to Cheltenham, will afford a gre at accommodation. a in distance of at least eight miles, stoppageucl a saving b e sides the delay of the at Cheltenham. AA T ew kesbury it will also form a junction with the proposed line frfnit that place to3latnern aordg te ost diret communication to the n umerous visitors to ' the ff mag in nific h ent m scenery c and inv m igoratin o g atinephere of the celebrated Malvern-hills. To the Inhabit:nth of the ancient and populous borough of Tewkes • bury, this portion of the proposed line will prove immensely advan tageous si.nated within ten miles of the important city and port of Gloucester, they have nevertheless to travel by the present railway route nearly twice that distance, an inconvenience which has already materially affected the trade, and prejudiced the interests of the town. The proposed Pue, running close to the town, will remove this great incon:enimee, and restore its trade to its former state of prosperity. The value of this line to the city and port of Gloucester cannot be too highly estimated, as it will not only open to it inuuea: e sources of traffic from the whole of the eastern and north-eastern enmities, but will very materially lessen the distance between it and.ltirmingham, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire, making Gloucester still more securely the nearest and most accessible outlet for the whole of mat immensely productive manufacturing region 'and it is impossible to Conceive any project better calculated to advance the interests cf Gloucester, than one capable of effect that object. This line will also form an Important junction between the London and Birmingham And Midlands Railways, and the Bristol and Gloucester Railway, and constitute the highway for the traffic of the former, and of all the north-eastern railways, to the proposed Man chester and Southampton Railway at Cheltenham; and the through traffic from the latter source alone is expected to be very great.: It will thus have the effect of connecting the ports of the eastern and north-eastern with those of the western and southern coasts ; of affording the most direct and convenient access from the north and east to the vast mineral regions of South Wales, and of opening new markets for the rich products of the fertile valleys of the Avon and Severe, and the alp icultural districts of Warwickshire and Wor cestershire, in the manufacturing towns and ports of the north. The line will be easy of construction, traversing, as it does, through nearly its whole length, the valleys of the Avon and Severn. The towns through which it will run are very populous, and the country of the richest description ; , and the local traffic will consequently be very great in addition to the through traffic, which ou such a line must necessarily be very extensive.

The first of this line is to connect the town of Birmingham, Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route, and to supply an important link of communication between the town of Spalding and the eastern coast with the Western and Midland districts. Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereham, Lynn, and Holbeach Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn, Witham, Castle Bytham, South Wytham, and Wymondham, to a point on the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near Melton- Mowbray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mid land Counties Railway, an almost direct route to Leicester, and thence to Coventry and Birmingham by the proposed Coventry, Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway. The projected line will form the most direct communication be tweenme.ns the eastern the proposed z l n b iLlai B id cm d s i s s t t r h ie e ts co o u f i t , the kingdom, y ot Leicester, an d y li a l will, Bur ton-upon-Trent, ry ton-upon-Trendt,markets of Lincoln, Norfolk, other by many miles Shropshire, an than any other line of railway. t North oSta 11 1 . 1 ,° ' r a d l e' s b , each r :i l e ig am d r 'e to t on the It will form, with oth er p rojected railways, an almost direct cast line across the kingdom, from Yarmout h, via Norwich, , to Aberys exceed thirty miles. There is no tunnel- The entire length will not m ire via Newton and Shrewsbnry, on the west. . the line - spalding, a distance of about twelve miles, is very from Bourn to .. ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary; level, and may be constructed at a small cost. it will secure the advantages of railway communication to a tract of country at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open ing out sources of trade undeveloped for want of tin means of transit. The central midland districts have felt greatly the want of direct communication with the coast ; and this line will at once supply the deficiency to the greater part of Staffo rdshire and Leicestershire. It will afford a transit for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon supply from the 'north at high prices: it will also secure the advan tages of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershire works, to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, which are at present only supalitarat very high rates; and, hi return traffic, the midland dis tricts will (Alain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Nortiak. Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which is the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, and connected by the River Welland with the (lemma Ocean. The prop,sed capital will be sufficient fur the construction of the necessary works and every subsequent expense ; and the income derivable from the traffic in passengers between Birmingham, Co ventry, Leicester, Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Boston, the trans port of corn, cattle, and other produce of the great agricultural districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland districts, will be sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay. • The Parliamentary surveys have been commenced, and are now in active progress, and contracts have been entered into which en sure sufficient time for compliance with the standing orders. A Provi,ional Committee of gentlemen in now in 'course of for mati, al, al,l will be published, with the prospectuses and plan, on Monday next.
