IlailwaY °Mena, Kendal, Sept. 2, 15411, YORK, HULL, and EAST and WEST YORK SHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY. (Provisionally Registered.) The importance of a direct line of railway from the City of York to the port of Hull, which shall, at the same time, give the greatest extent of accommodation to the intermediate district, now wholly de prived of the means of railway transit, is. so apparent, that a com pany has been formed for the construction of a line, commencing by a Junction with the London and York, and Leeds and York Railways, at or near York, to the towns of Pocklington, Market Weighton, Bever ley, and terminating at the extensive East Docks, now in course of construction at Hull, with a branch from the main line, com mencing at or near Market Weighton, to Selby, thus affording the shorteat and most direct communication from Newcastle and the whole of the north of England, a well as from Skipton, Colne, ()Hey, and the northern part of Lancashire, by the proposed Lancashire and Yorkshire North,Eas' ern Railway, to the important port of Hull, and at the same time forming a complete connexion between the several towns of York, Hull, Beverley, Driffield, Bridlington, Market Weigh ton, Pocklington, and Selby. The advantages which will be tkus secured to the whole of the East Riding, will appear by a reference to the map ; and negotiations are now pending by whirls this line will be promoted in friendly conjunction wjth other important railways ix the west of Yorkshire and Lancashire. The proposed branch from Market Weighton to Selby will give to a rich and very highly cultivated portion of the East Riding the shortest line for the transmission of its agrlculural produce to the markets of Leeds, Wakefield, and the eonsuming districts, and secure the return of coals, lime, and manures, at a greatly reduced cost ; while the terminus of the main line at the East Docks at Hull will save the large expenditure which, without the construction of this line, must be incurred in the carriage of merchandise across the town. The works will be of very easy construction. A survey is now being made, and a detailed prospectus, with the names of a highly in fluential Provisional Committee, together with the amount of capital, and further particulars, will be announced in a few days.

This railway will proceed from York to Lancaster (about 72 miles) by the most direct practicable route, and pass near Knareeborough, Harrowgate, Long Preston, Settle, and many other important places. The counties of York and Lancaster c om p rise a population of 3,500,000 persons, and are, perhaps, the most wealthy and populous divisions of the kingdom. The roads to;:tween York and Lancaster are mostly carried over the tops of hills, and, in winter, are nearly impassable ; this line will pass along the valleys, and the journey, now rarely made, by coach, within twelve hours, may be performed, on the railway, in two hours and a half. It will provide facilities of access to all the great manufacturing. mining, and agricultural districts of the north of England, to the Isle of Man, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales; to Hamburgli, by connecting Morecombe Bay and Fleetwood Harbour on the west coast with the port of Hull on the east coast ; to the lakes et Westmoreland and Cumberland; to Harrowgate, celebrated for its unrivalled sulphur, mineral, and chalybeate springs; and to the important intermediate districts between York and Lancaster, which abound with valuable minerals, and raise vast quantities of live stock and agricultural pro duee. Many places near the intended course of the line are known to possess inexhaustible supplies of lea!, iron, slate, limestone, free stone, and other useful minerals, but these are now comparatively unavailing, from the great cost of coals and carriage. The railway will rapidly develop these sources ofprosperity, by introducing coals at a low price, and providing cheap carriage for mineral produce of every kind; it will also furnish a most desirable means of transit for passengers and merchandise to and from every part of the king dom, and a cheap conveyance for immense quantities of live stock and agricultural produce from the rural to the manufacturing and mining, districts. Many completed and projected railways will intersect this line, and greatly facilitate traffic and intercourse in every direction. With the Directors of these railways, and of various others which have a station at York or Lancaster, the Committee will endeavour to make arrangements likely to prove mutually bene ficial, and they hare much pleasure in stating that the landowners along the line are extremely favourable to the undertaking, and con sider it will materially augment the value of their possessions and prove advantageous to the country and the shareholders. It has been fully ascertained that the proposed line presents but few engineering difficulties, and that, although it will pass through some very holy districts, it may be constructed along valleys, and with favourable gradients throughout nearly its entire course. The liability of the shareholders will be restricted by Act of Parliament to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be applied for in the Bill to allow interest at four per cent. per annum on all calls, from the passing of the Act to the opening of the line.

Hodgson PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS. w a n ti o t s r of The the di ob s j t e ri c e t t p th ro r p s or a w by hi t c h h is it ra p i ass lwa ss y . is as , as to we co ll m to pl e s u ts ppl t y he th el e railway communication between the eastern and midland counties and the western district, including the whole of North and South Wales. The country through which the line will pass is of the richest description, and thickly populated. By means of this, and the existing and projected lines of railway, the whole of the ports in the eastern and north-eastern counties, in cluding the manufacturing city of Norwich, and towns of Leicester, Nottingham, Sheffield, and Leeds, will be brought in direct com munication with the mineral districts of North and South Wales, and the salt district of Droitwich. The promoters of this line submit to the public, as a most import ant consideration, the abating of those causes of loss and inconveni ence which, along the line of country over which this railway will pass, are experienced 'tom water carriage being from necessity at present a principal mode of transit for heavy goods and merchandise, and which, in the winter season, is productive of the most evil con sequences to those engaged in commerce. A manifest advantage to the Shareholders will be the extent of traffic which this line will secure and appropriate, in lieu of that which hitherto has been engrossed by the more dilatory course of water carriage. As a public advantage to the inhabitants generally of the country through which this line will pass, the promoters submit that the equalisation in prices of the produce and merchandise which the opening of this line of railway is calculated to produce is of the high est importance, and one of the principal benefits which this and other similar undertakings are alone capable of producing. The proposed line will commence at Rugby, the terminus of the Midland Counties Railway, and also of the proposed Rugby and Hunt ingdon Junction Railway, and proceed from thence near to the towns At Worcester this line will forma Junction . titCfri -` ",,• ester. railways, the Shrewsbury, Worcester, an. --,;,,L ileveral and the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway. At Warwick it will unite with the Birmingham and Oxford Junc tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway. And at Rugby with the London and Birmingham, the Midland Counties, and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railways. To the inhabitants of Rugby as well as to those of the Midland, Eastern, and Northern Counties this line will afibrd a direct com munication with the fashionable towns of Leamington anti Chelten ham, as well as the whole of the Western Counties. To the inhabitants of Leamington and Warwick it will give a direct communication with the City of Worcester and North and South Wales, stow so much needed. And to the inhabitants of Worcester, in addition to providing the nearest route to London via Warwick, it will be an outlet to the Eastern Counties and ports, and afford great facilities for the increase of the manufactories now carried on in that city. The whole of the country has during the present month been most carefully surveyed by the engineers, and they report it to be tree from engineering difficulty, and well adapted for a railway; and the pro visional Directors entertain no doubt that the line will be made under the average rate of expense incident to similar undertakings, and from the statistics in their possession, that the traffic will afford an ample return for the capital invested. The line will not interfere with any ornamental property, and the landowners are favourable to the undertaking. The Shareholders in the several Railways proposed to be joined or intersected will have a preference in the allotment of glares in this undertaking. No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the Act is obtained, and power will be applied for t. allow interest at 4/. per eentum on all calls, from the time of their respective payments, and to limit the liability of the Shareholders to the amount of their sub scriptions. The Directors reserve power to themselves to amalgamate with any existing or projected line of railway; to vary the route ; to make all desirable extensions; and to increase the capital as may be advisable or necessary. Prospectuses, with a Plan, will be published in a few days, and may then be obtained on application to the several solicitors, and to any of the following share brokers, viz., Messrs. Peppercorne and Co., 2, Old Broad-street ; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 89, Loth bury, London ; Messrs. Payne and Freer, Leicester ; Messrs. Alston and Gage, Liverpool ; Messrs.

GENTLIEMEN,—We regret our not being able to report that we have succeeded in our efforts to obtain for you the objects of our Associa tion ; our best energies have been devoted to the subject, but from the altered state of the circumstances which has now arisen, oar Company, as at present constituted, is not in a position to compete for the Leave. At the time our Company was formed, it was undereood that the Government would provide the land for the line and stations, and possibly would undertake the earthworks. The capital we then proposed (60 millions of francs), was considered sufficient to provide all that the Company, under that state of circumstances, would have required ; but after much doubt and delay, the Government have at length determined that their lessees shoull undertake the purchase of the land, as well as the entire construction and working of the Rail way. The Bill has now passed the Chambers in that form, and has fixed the Capital at 80 millions (irrespective of the Grenoble Branch). Having, as we interpret our engagement to the Subscribers, neither power to undertake on their behalf the purchase of land, nor adequate funds for that larger purpose, we are under the necessity of announcing the dissolution of the present Subscription, and we have accordingly only ffirther on this bead to inform you, that we now hold the deposits subject to the order of the several Subser.bas, and ready to be immediately returned in exchange for the letters of allot ment and banker's receipts. We would now invite your attention to the copy of the statutes, which have been framed and adopted for the regulation of a new Company for making and working the proposed line. You will observe, that it is mainly under the same direction, and in many respects of the same character as that which we originally proposed The capital is necessarily larger, and the powers vested in those w ho have the conduct of the undertaking of a much more gen,ral char c ter. We desire to refer you in particular to articles 4-22-23-- 24-28-56. We are empowered to offer to each Shareholder in the former Company who shall, on or before the 20th of September next, and in the manner we are about to mention, declare his option to accept them, the same number of Shares in the new Company as he holds in the original Company, with or without one additional Share in respect of every five original Shares, and in order to faci hate the neee , sary arrangements, we have prepared such forms as will enable the Subscribers to express their wishes with convenience. They are ready, and may be applied for at 62, King William-street, City, be tween Eleven o'clock, a.m. and Three o'clock F.M. We beg to add, that in the event of receiving at this office no coin munication respecting any particular allotment of Shares in the original Company on or before the 20th of September next, i the .to posit thereon will be held subject to the order of the party it he it, and it will be entirely out of our power to ex ur tend e, : , the pre above-mentioned day the option which we have sec al sent Proprietors to join the new Compan y. tinued - confidence in the It is tight :we should express merits of the undertaking, and our r")ecoinwineulatimani to the Sub scribers to renew their investments inothe rent Serva Com pnts,y.

The principle of this important railway scheme is an extension of the North Staffordshire Railway. from Uttoxeter southward, through Burton-upon-Trent, by Swadlingeote, Gresley, and Moira, to Ashby de-la-Zouch, Market-Bosworth, and Hinckley, uniting, In the direc tion of Leicester, with the proposed Leieester and Bedford, and South Midland Railways, and south of Hinckley, with the Midland Railway at or near Ullesthorpe. The. main objects of the scheme am— t. To secure the best practicable direct line from London to Man chester and Liverpool. 2. To provide the beat and most complete railway communication for the important mining, manufacturing, commercial, and landed in terests of the extensive district yet untraversed by railways, which lies between Uttoxeter on the north and Leicester on the south. The line of the proposed railway takes the most direct praticable route from Manchester to a point near Hinckley, from which it opens two communications with London—one by the Midland Railway to Rugby, and thence by the London and Birmingham Railway—the other by the Leicester and Bedford, or South Midland Railway, through Market Harborough to Pedford and Ilitchin, and thence by the London and York Railway. Thus combining the advantage, never before attempted, of the most direct route, with the choice of two approaches to London—a result attained by the promotion rather than the sacrifice or injury of any existing railway interest. In this scheme the public interest has been the sole consideration, and it is confidently expected that public support will follow. In the adaptation of this scheme to the local interests of the dis trict, for the first time opened by it, the same principle has been the guide. It opens fairly and fully the great coil-fields of Moira, Swadling cote, and Swannington. It traverses the pottery districts of Swad lingcote, Newhall, Gresley, and the neighbourhood; It provides most ample accommodation for the increased and rapidly-increasing trading and manufacturing interests of Leicester and Burton-upon- Trent, and their neighbourhoods. It approaches as near as practi cable to every town in the district of Hinckley, Market-Bosworth, Ashby-de-la-Zouch (with its celebrated baths), Burton, and Tutbury. It interferes with no residential or ornamental property, and the support of many of the most influential landholders is already secured in Its favour. The " Midland Union" also connects itself with the Leicester anti Birmingham, and Boston, Stamford, and Birmingham Railways, and by this connexion opens the most direct and complete eastern and western communication yet projected. By means of the Boston, Stamford, and Birmingham Railway, ' and the various other Railways in East Anglia, an easy and direct communication is opened between Burton-upon-Trent, and the corn producing counties of Lincolnshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk. By means of the Coventry Branch of the Leicester and Birming ham Railway, and the direct access to Rugby, secured by the pro posed junction with the Midland Railway, the most advantageous op portunities are afforded to the Moira, Swadlingcote, and other Collieries of the district, for sending coals to Leamington, Warwick, and the southern markets.' By means of the short diverging Line to the Trent Valley Railway, at Athersione, the communication between Leicester and Tainworth is fully provided for. Upon a careful examination of the details of this scheme, to which public attention is earnestly invited, its advantages will be found to be such as not only to supersede the necessity of a direct indepen dent Line from London to Manchester, but to secure to the important local interests of the district traversed by it more complete and be neficial accommodation than any direct and independent line could, by reason of its more extended objects and interests, afford to give.

This project is intended to form the most direct communication between the important grazing country of the Lincolnshire Marshes and the large manufacturing and consuming districts of the Midland and Northern Counties ; and to establish an immediate connexion between the East Coast and South \Voids of Lincolnshire, and the various coal fields in Yorkshire, Derbyshire, and Staffordshire, thereby facilitating the export of corn, wool, cattle, and other agri cultural produce, and the import of coal, timber, stone, slate, seeds. oil-cake, and artificial manures. By this line (in communication with other railways), Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Wakefield, Nottingham, Derby, Stafford, the Potteries, and other important manufacturing towns, will be placed in direct counexiou with Hamburgli, liottex dam, Antwerp, and the principal seaports of the north of Europe ; between which places and Waintleet the voyage will be several hours shorter than from either Ruff or Grimsby. There is a good passenger traffic generally throughout the line, Swelled by the large and numerous fairs, held at Lincoln, Horncastle, Spilsby, Partnev, Burgle, and Wainfleet (for horses, cattle, and sheep), and by the visitors to Skegness, one of the principal watering places on the Lincolnshire coast, the whole of which will be mate rially increased by railway accommodation. The improvement of the extensive harbour of Wainfleet haven, and the forming there a perfect shipping station for the manufactur ing districts; is one of the important features in this undertaking. This haven possesses natural roadsteads of a superior description, offering a safe anchorage for shipping of any burthen, in .24 test of water, at ebb tide, close to the shore at Gibraltar Point. Any num ber of ? ships can ride safely at anchor; and large fleets of pierchant men frequently resort thither for safety during the prel - alence of northerly gales, an advantage imperfectly possessed by both Hull and Grimsby; added to which, a great saving will be effected In the Cus tom, dock, and harbour dues, as well as in pilotage and insurance. No sea works of any magnitude will be required. The length of the proposed line will be about 40 tai/es, and the country does not present any engineering diffictilties. No railway in aistence Al in contemplation provides accom modation for the district of country through which this line will pass. Application has been made to the principal landowners ou the line, and no objection is anticipated. A portion of the Shares will be reserved for parties locally into and the remainder will be allotted to persons giving un exceptionable references. No Shareholder will be liable beyond Ids subscription. The Subscribers' Agreement will contain ►owers to the Provisional Committee to run,into other railways now or hereafter to be mate, and to alter the termhd of the proposed line, so that the maiu ob ject of the scheme be carried out.

Independent of the thorough traffic, which will necessarily be con siderable, the local traffic is alone sufficient to justify the construc tion of this line, and the promoters let% themselves warranted in stating, that from a careful estimate of traffic on data accurately, taken, a profit of at least ten per cent, will be realised, after deduct ing forty per cent. for working expenses. By this line of railway, the great quarries of limestone at Buxton and the neighbourhood (which have been proved to be the best for all purposes), will be thrown open to the Staffordshire and Shrop• shire iron works (where 2,000,000 toile are consumed annually in the fluxion of iron), as well as to other parts, and no doubt will form a great source of profit to the Company. It will also open the shortest and best line for the conveyance of salt from the Cheshire salt works, and also of the Staffordshire and Shropshire pig iron, and pottery ware, to the ports of Galusborougb; Grimsby and Mull, and to Sheffield, and the manufacturing districts of Yorkshire. It also throws open the great lead, copper, iron, stud slate mines in North and South Wales. The extensive coal fields of Norton-in-the-Moors (about six miles front Leek), through which the line passes, and will thereby afford to Buxton and other places iu Derbyshire. a cheap and abundant supply of excellent coal qt a greatly reduced cost. In addition to the large mineral traffic which this line will possess. the conveyance of merchandise will tiirm a souree of tOnsideratle profit. besides the general passenger traffic. there must in the stam mer months he a great accession of visitors from lreland, North and Soul' Wales, Chester, and the Staffordshire Potteries to Ituston. Bakewell, Chatsworth, Matbxek. Dovedale, &c., to which places it has been proved that 90,000 persons mutually resort for the beueni of their health, and on pleasure exenr,ions. Companies have bent formed to make a line of railway from MeV field to Boston, and Stoke-upon-Trutt to Cre we, and Norton-bridge, to join the Grand Junction Railway, with each of which Companies the Committee are in communication, and arrangements will be made with them so that the proposed Company will only have to make the connecting link between the two places, namely, from Buxton to Stoke-upon-Trent, to complete the entire line. The distance to be made by this Company is nearly 22 miles; and . the engineering character is such as to instify the promoters in de daring the proposed capital amply sufficient kw its construction, and for sudh mineral branches as the district may require.

They regret that, in consequence of the overwhelming number of applications for shares which they have received, they have been compelled materially to reduce the amounts allotted, in almost every instance, and, in in numerous cases, wholly to pass over the claims of highly respect able and influential parties to whom they would have willingly made allotments, had the number of shares at their disposal enabled them so to do. They trust, therefore, that those applicants whose expec tations may have been disappointed will accept this explanation as a sufficient apology ; and as applications for shares still continue to arrive, the Committee are constrained to repeat mph- farmer notice, that it is altogether out of their power to e ,, ntei:tajnthm......_ .

At a MEETING of the INHABITANTS of the TOWN and NEIGHBOURHOOD of LEDBURY, convened by the Great Eastern and Western Railway Company, held at the Feathers Hotel, Ledbury. this day, at which meeting a deputation from the Worcester and South Wales Junction Railway Company attended. ROBERT BIDDULPH, Esq., having been unanimously called to the Chair, It was moved by Captain Joras, and seconded by the Rev. JOEMPU HIGGINS, " That it is the opinion of this meeting that the line projected by the Worcester and South Wales Junction Hallway Company will be the most beneficial to the town and neighbourhood of Ledbury, in asmuch as it will perfect a direct main trunk line of railway from South Wales (embraclng the ports of Swansea, Cardiff, and Newport), to Ledbury, Worcester, South Staffordshire, Birmingham, and the North." Amendment moved by JAMES MARTIN, Esq., and seconded by the BEV. J. UNDERWOOD, That it is the opinion of this meeting that it is not yet in pos session of sufficient infbrmation to enable it to decide on the merits of the respective lines."

William Nash, Esq., Chairman Francis Ede, Esq., Deputy-Chairman Francis Bennett Goldney, Esq. Edward Harvey, Esq. Charles Holbrooke, Esq. John Illidge, Esq. • Edward Knight, Esq. John Marten, Esq. John Moss, Esq. Herbert Taylor, Esq. The Committee of Management beg to inform those parties who have applied for Shares in this undertaking that the allotment is now completed, and that the letters of allotment will be issued on Saturday next, the 6th instant. They regret that, in consequence of the numerous applications, more delay hs taken place than was at first anticipated. All applicants not rece a iving letters of allotment must not consider that their applications were overlooked, but that the great demand for Shares over and above the number to be allotted nece ssarily prevented their being granted. The Committee are happy to be able to inform their Subscribers that nearly the whole of the landowners along the line have promised their support, and that they have also secured the co-operation of many influential local gentlemen. These advantages, coupled with the intrinsic merits of the under taking, lead the Committee confidently to anticipate a successful result to their application to Parliament next session. The surveys are being proceeded with, and all the requisite measures are being taken for a due compliance with the standing orders. E. D. CHATTAWAY. =CDs, 62, Itoorgate4treet, London, Sept. 3, 1845,
