This • line will commence at or near the Wigeton station at the Midland Counties Railway, will pass by or near the manufacturing localities of Narborough, Sapeote, Earl Burbage, and 'Hinckley, through a district most favourable 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-weat by Bedworth to the Coventry station of the London and Birmingham Company. The line will communicate with the Swanaington Railway either by means of the proposed Broughton Astley branch of the Midlands, or of a separisee branch to be formed by this Company ; thereby opening the entire of the Leiceetershire coal-field to the counties south-east Of Leicester. The Directors, fbr the last few months, hiving used their best exertions for the Interests of the Company, feel it their duty, now that the surveys, plans, and other arrangements are solar advanced, to acquaint their shareholders with the position and prospects of the undertaking. The Coventry, Bedworth, And Nuneaton line, which rete - , - ved the favourable report of the Board of Trade, and was befon Parliament last session, forms part of the present projected - Plan for connecting Leicester, Coventry, and Birmingharp, '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 carefhl 1 lit tigation the Directors have the pleasure of informing the !thareho l that this undertaking cannot fail to prove a profitable inveSithent if supported by local traffic only, and with the certainty that . through traffic from the eastern and western lines, 'combined with the great advantages afforded by the junction with the Trent Valley for the transit 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 —frern 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 been subscribed, and the Parliamentary deeds have been executed, and the preliminary survey completed. A list of a new and highly influential local direct's', and a neap of the ltue, will be published in a few lays. By order, 71.`CASSIY, Secretary pro tem.

Manchester Railway, is a direct line from London to Manchester, coming from London to Rngby along the London and Birmingham line, and proceeding from Rugby to Hinckley, through Market-Bosworth and Atliby-de-la-Zouch. to Derby, thence to Ashbonrne, by Leek, to 3!,beclesfield, and eking the Maockusfield and Stockport, and Stock./2, - ,,rt and Manchester Railways, into Manchester. A branch to Buxton is in eolllemplation. The principle of this ralitvay is to obtain a direct through line be tween some of thi most important districts in the kingdom with the lmst possible amount Of new railway, and consequently the smallest erpenditure of etes,',tal. It wil l also P:.,tOblish the shortest direct communication between Derby and -, T - 4noon, Sheffield and London, and betweemall the towns on the l'7 , ,eth Midland Railway and London. 'rat Manchester, Derby and Rugby Railway will open a direct tolomunication between. Manchester .and Derby`, and will considerably shorten the distance between Manchester and Nottingham, and Man chester 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 to Sheffield, when the Sheffield and Chester field branch of the North Midland Railway is made. The Rugby, Derby, mud Manchester Railway; in connexion with the Oxford and Rugby and Oxford, Southampton and Gosport Railways forms a di rect Manchester and Southampton TIVI GREAT ADVANTAGES of the Rugby, Derl',y, and Manchester Railway over the ether pro jects into Marict;•ster, among others, are— First, 11,- .4t there arc only seventy-five miles of railway to be made, place of one hundred and eighty-nine. condly, That it is a more direct line from London to Manchester Vaal' even the proposed direct lines. Thirdly, That It interferes with ne existing railway property or 'rested interests. Fourthly, That it passes through a district rich in manufactures, agriculture, and minerals, but which—more especially as regards its wrlcultural produce, and a convenient system of intercommunication fbr the conveyance of that agricultural produce, to supply the large manufacturing towns in the vicinity—has been hitherto left totally tritlinut railway communication. Pifthly, That It passes through the towns in its route, instead of bolding il ixthlY, That the whole line of railway from Rugby to Manchester will be completed and in working order within ten months from the pasting of the Act of Parliament. Scventhly, That the maps, plans, estimates, and other documents Tequlred by the standing orders of Parliament, will be lodged with the Parish Clerks, the Clerks of the Peace for the Counties, and the Parliamentary ofaces, on the 10th of November next, being twenty days within the time required by the regulations of Parlia ment.

The geographical position of Worcester has caused its adoption as the point where the broad gunge trunk lines of the west are to have a common terminus. From Oxford the Great Western Company have decided on constructing a line of rail :—another project under the pa tronage of the same powerful direction is now beibre the public, uniting Worcester with Warwick ; and, that the broad gauge will be carried from Worcester into Wales, and to the Irish packet stations on that coast, is now no longer doubtfttl. This undertaking will com plete 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 Bewilley. 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 is little to the east, the line is taken to laridgenorth, 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, Broseley, and Madeley, from which place there will be a branch to Shrewsbury, the line ascends Colebrook Dale, and approaching in its course Wellington and !Nem, i enters Whitchurch. From this central place a branch will be formed 1 to Norwich via Stoke, forming a junction with the Liverpool 'and Crewe Railway. The trunk line will continue from Whitchurch, and passing through or near }repro,' have its northern terminus in the city of Chester. , In estimating the probable am cunt 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 Broaeley and other places ; the agricultural prtiluce brought to Stourport market; the inexhaustible fields of coal And mines of iron ore in the „vicinity of Colebrook Dale, Ironbridgel and the districts to the east of Shrewsbury generally. In calcubsting the cost of construction unusual advantages ar 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 of promise pro jects, have warmly espoused the present, and the •labouring lila tion being familiar with mining operations, will be found letter po 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 directionsf, few schemes hitherto proposed appear to afford greater inducetnent for investment, or a wider range of accommodation for traffic and travelling. This project constitutes a lengthened link in the Chain that will connect Liverpool with Bristol, the grand trunk or the West of England ;,—its southern terminus, Worcester, is theihalf , way station of the London and Port Dynnllaen broad gauge lisle by projected lines a direct communication will be afforded eat berystwith, and, eastward, to Warwic and iv ward to Swansea and A Northampton, Cambridge, Peterborough, Harwich, Lynn, Li coln, and Bull. The line has been repeatedly and carefully examined by the Com pany's acting engineer, who reports that the rail for many milcitt r nay be laid on the natural level—that the gradients are in eve in , stance favourable—that the geological structure of the districts to • be traversed is equally so, and that the want of such a lin e o f om munication is acknowledged by the interests seated en its pro Posed Potter ß .

The object of this undertaking is to supply the northern part of Norfolk with that railway accommodation of which it is at present wholly destitute. It embraces all the towns in this extensive dis trict, and affaidi direct communication between them and the City of Norwich, which is tke great mart for tke agricultural produce of the county. 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 Rivet Bure; and to the maltsters - and traders of the district, in tha transmission of their commodities, and by placing them within easy communication of the ports and places from which coals and goods of . every kind consumed in the district, are obtained. Thy: distinction which Cromer has deservedly obtained, as a most delightful watering-place, will now be considerably enhaiced by the direct communication thus established between it and all parts of the kingdom. The unanimous and most cordial support of the merchants and tradeis ofßoiwtch is given to this project, as carrying out the prin . ciple of direct communication • for which they have so earnestly contended. _ TAis line will be made with the co-operation and support of the 'Norfolk. Railwity Company. (the amalgamated Norwich and Yar mouth, and Norwich and Brandon Companies) ; and powers will be taken to ratify agreements made with the Directors of that Compaay tbr leasing it at 4 per cent. per annum on the outlay, and an equal division of the surplus profile. . " • Competent engineers have already surveyed the line, and hale re ported most favourably on the project, which is free from engineering difficUlty. The greatest care has been taken to select thefts which is best for the ptiblic interest, and at the same time to avoid interference with any ornamental property. . . . .

The object of this line of Railway is to complete the shain of coast communication, and form a connexion with lines already established 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 ofaire, 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, Loughrea, Athenry, Monivea, Tuam, , Ballinrobe; Castlebar, Westport, Texford, Ballina, Kilalla, Swineford, Streamstown, and Sligo, which town being connected with the north, east, and south, by the different lines through Enniskillen, London- Newry, Dundalk, Drogheda, Waterford, Killarney, Cork, Valenti*, Wexford,elt, 'Armagh, Tralce, and Limerick, the establishment of this line will eause Dublin,derr Colerain e, Wlkl ow B elfast, 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 develops those advantages ha an equal degree to the province of Leinster. The lead,' iron, marble, and elate 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 point of view, will "be the establishment of an intercourse between the population of the extreme north and that of the extreme south, as well as placing the trade of, and communication with, Scotland, within the easy reach of all towns of any importance in Ireland. Added to this the cer tainty that en the completion of the projected southern, eastern, and western lined, 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, &c. This line, communicating with so many ports, will afford the greatest facilities for the shipping of this portion of trade, 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 Leld liable only to the extent of their first depoSits until an Act of Parliament is obtained, and afterwards only to the amount of their subseriptions. Power will be applied for in ther 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 which 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 the mineral 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 considerable amount in passenger and merchandise traffic. From the estimates that have been made, a return of at least 10 per cont. must be realised on the capital.

S. and J. R. Poole At Tiverton At Truro • • • At Penzance • • • At Falmouth - The object of this line is to effect a direct communication between London and the Land's End. In a national point of view such a line is indispensable. With the advantage of a direct railroad, Falmouth, from its 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 200,000/. to 3,000,0001. 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, Bath, and Bridgewater Company having amalga inated 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 allthe accommodation contemplated by that Company. The Direct 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 'triet of Trnwhridge (from which a diverging line will be carried by Bradford dire& to Bath), Westbury, Frome, Shepton Mallet, Wells (horn which 'another diverging line will be taken to Bridgewater), • GlestonburY 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 - Beate' 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 I distance from London to Falmouth, 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 already thorough traffic suffi cient to justify the construction of this portion of the Direct Wes tern ; that, it will shorten the dist ance from London to T iverton I nod 32 miles that it will travel* , rich. alid populous agricultural ftii tilanttfacttiring districts, and receive a large amount of traffic as eel fiom itlittittfe tit* , iii Cbitite of eonstruction as from others pro jected itig.c of with every chance gtiecCfg; . tu °l e e re i htin e t r P-a es rt Se id is h 6 e k on i tn ii ii ii l B ly ; ' it it €6i ~ et t than ~Za. detained tt fire Channel by - .d.tii - erse winds wotild, effect sit itintienie saving, both. fn Insurance anti time, by discharging their ctirgoeti 3Zt i itlntottth, and tit Once transmitting them to their deitlinitten hylneanii of this ittilway; and therefore—without speculating on the eXttiii tb *lnch the Otte 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 district, comprising rich and populous parts of So inersetshire, 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 the general and packet commerce of the kingdom-; it Imay 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 Birmingham and Grand Junction that this bears to'the Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Railways, be is reported to have said :—" I consider that the corn mimication between the metropolis and the great outports to be not a question of hours, but a question of minutes." Of the necessity of this parttcular line, Paillamen tiles already expressed an opinion ; for in the report of the Committee on the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth line, which was prbmoted 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 Falmouth wag last session rejected, on the ground that it might be supposed to interfere wills that •gieat 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. _ _ _ . . iowers will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at Our pounds per centum per annum 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.

That another and a more direct line of railway is necessary bet en the metropolis and the manufacturing districts around Mancheste , is now fully admitted, and the question is, which is the best line t be adopted. The above proposed railway will form the shortest and mos di rect route from London to Manchester, and will therefore comp ate the direct communication with the metropolis at a much less ex n diture of capital than by either of the projected London and 1 n-. Chester lines (Remington's and Ashurst's), the - Irani distadco to lye Col3Bthllbto4 sin oat fin, instead of ITO to 130 A careful preliminary survey has determined the promoters or this railway ti adopt iu ally a straight lane from dinghy ti3liscelesfleld, 5 an increased expenditure of 20e i e00/. or 350,0001. judicially' tipptied iu ihe present perfected state of civil enelus,soitc, and at the reduced t'Ogt (If the elccution of earth works, will prove ftt the end a far great& foal Ectinhjii V, heal to the Company itself in the SiiVieu effected in the jtiintikl eli p k,te dif,9yking, and also, what is of more inittartance, to the country iri gthomil, by accomplishing, at a much less cost, the 4&6 pr ope l led b 3 min ;Ind distinct line from London to These considertitions have not been sufficiently kept in view by other parties who have 1/1- proposed to make a railway from Rugby to Macclesfield, but who, by eleVialttg from the direct traot to pursue valleys and to avoid the irregularities of the face of the country, obviously lose the advantages proposed by this-Company. The Parliamentary decision on the choice of the London and Brighton Railway 1B 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 be 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 try no ether proposed railway. By adopting the Rugby and Oxford branch Of the Great Western as far as Didcot, and thence the proposed Oxford, Santini:9u 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 Taluable buildings are very slight, and the line in general offers no engineering difficulties of any magnitude. Theitowns 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 be 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 nvesiment 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 hare a preference in the allotment of till 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 Shenetone, Sutton Coldfleld, and Erdington, to the town of Birmingham. The length of the Line will be only about sixteen miles, tnd a glance at the map will su ffi ce to show the very numerous a van tages which this Railway offers. The projected " South.Unioa 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 London, but will leave Birmingham on the west, which can only he reached by the circuitous route thiough Tamworth, a distance of twenty-five miles. 1 The proposed Birmingham and Lichfield Railway will effect an ex tension of the South Union, North Staffordshire, and other projected Railways, flora 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 Birmingharri, the emporium of the Midland Counties, and its densely populated rrigh 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 be raised is 300,0001., in 15,000 Shares of 201. 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 4/. per gent. 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 he 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 he 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.
