To effect this object, use will be made of existing or projected lines, as tar as practicable, and the chain of communica tion will be completed by throwing out new lines, where requisite. Commencing at Birmingham, it is proposed to use the Birmingham and Derby Railway as far as Whitacre, whence a new line, about 29 miles In length, will be made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Castle Dunnlngton, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid land Counties Railway _ _ _ - • • -- " "" The communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will be carried forward as far as Gainsborough, either by the proposed Not tingham and Gainshorough Railway, or by a line springing out of the line from Nottingham to Lincoln, for which an Act was obtained by the Midland Counties Company during the last session of Parliament. From Gainsborough this railway will proceed to Barton-on-the- Humber, or New Holland, in the immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby rendering complete and entire the chain of communication between Birmingham and Hull. By nis project the advantages will result to the public of a Direct line from Birmingham to Nottingham, Birmingham to Gainsborongh, and from Birmingham to Hull; and by means of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Railway, and the intended extension to Ashby-de-la-Zouch, a direct line from Wolvarhampton to Nottingham, and the other towns already enu incratA. The support of several' companies will be enlisted in favour of the lice, which, together with Its own merits, will ensure its success in . . As a considerable portion of the line of communleation is already made, or in progress, the time required for the completion of this great national undertaking will be materially shortened. Independently of the advantages to be derived by a direct commu nication between the important seaport of Hull and the mining and manufacturing districts of Warwickshire and Staffordshire, a large traffic in timber, corn, metals, &c., may be confidently expected. The revenue of the Company, in addition, will be derived from the great thorough traffic from Birmingham and the midland counties to - ..Tettinghaln and Oaimiblarough, and the immense traffic from Bir mingham to Hull, the'port at which the exports arc shipped to Ham bargh, the German States, and the North of Europe ; and from the conveyance of merchandise, agricultnral produce, and cattle from the Southern, western, and midland counties. A preference will be given in the allotment of shares to landowners Co the line, and other local proprietors, as well as to directors and sharehoblen in railways interested in supporting this undertaking. N.) subscriber will he liable beyond the amount of the deposit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his sa!)scription. The usual power will be taken to allow interest at the rate afoul per cent. from the time •f payment upon each call with the opening of the line. No applications will be attended to without a reference to a member of tiie Co nn tee, a banker, or the solicitors to this Company. The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip certifi cates, cf which due notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by any party toakiag default in the execution of those deeds will be for te; te: I .

This railway will commence at the Important town of Wolver hampton, proceeding through or near to Seisdon, Trysull, and Chi verly, to the manufacturing town of Bridgnorth : from thence it will continue through a rich agricultural and populous district to Lud low, and there ran into other proJect,tl lines to all parisof England, North and South Wales, and Ireland, a distance of about thirty-two miles. It will afford direct communication between - Ludlow, •Bridgnorth, and Wolverhampton, ; and, by the South Staffordshire Junction Railway give to those towns and districts the most direct rattle. for passengers and goods to and from the Central, North Eastern, and Eastern parts of the Kingdom, ant from which those towns hare hitherto been excluded by every project of the day. It will convey to the agricultural districts of Herefordshire and South Shropshire, and also to the towns of ltridgnorth and Ludlow, coals and the mineral productions of Statlbrdshire, Worcestershire, ant the Clee-hills, at nearly one-half the present cost of those neces sary articles, and be the means of conveyance for corn, cattle, sheep, cider, wool, and other agricultural productions, as also timber from the before-mentioned agricultural counties, to the heart of the mining and manufacturing districts, which cannot fail to produce an immense traffic. To the towns embraced in this line, the value of obtaining thereby, at the cheapest rate, coal and the necessaries of life, will be of the utmost Importance. . . . . . _ One principal feature in this projection is, that as either Ludlow or Bridgnorth will lie in the direct route of one of the projects to be pro posed to Parliament in the next session, for the most direct commu nication between Ireland and the Metropolis, this line will thereby afford to passengers the easistcommunication to and from the central parts of the kingdom. . . . • It is satisfacti;ry tp the promoters to state, that they have the sanction of the Grand Junction Company, and the cc-operation of the Shrewsburyl Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire Junction, and the South Staffordshire Junction Companies, and that no project has been announced In-competition with its acknowledged claim on put,lic seoport. The whole line is free from engineering difficulties, and can be con structed at a moderate cost, and has obtained the approval of the lauded interest, whose ornamental properties have been strictly protected. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the Company will be under the direction and control of the Committee of Management, who are hereby empowered to enter into such ar rangements as shall best serve the int.'rests of this Company and the public, with existing or projected companies, and also to nominate the first dinctors of the Company.

Z 50,000 For the transport of mails ll'om the respective Governments 10,000 Local traffic in goods and passengers £llO,OOO Deduct the expenses of working the line, calculated at •• • • 30,000 £BO,OOO Thus leaving a profit of 10% per cont. to the shareholders, with every prospect of a considerable increase annually in the traffic, as has been by experience proved to be the result on all the other lines in operation in Belgium, as well as other countries. The projected railroad would pass through a perfectly level tract of country rich in agricultural productions, presenting no natural impediments to its construction, and would • require neither tunnels nor viaducts ; anti the only bridges necessary would be the spanning of a few dykes. Thus the construction would be unattended with heavy expense, and its working, when completed, of the same eco nomical character; for, as experience has shown, the most consider able item in working a railway is the supply of coal for the locomo tives; the proximity to the port of Dunkirk, and the easy access to the Belgian coal fields, obviate this difficulty. This line, which has been already examined by an eminent engi neer, will be about sixty miles in extent from one extremity to the other; will connect in its route the towns of Calais, Gravelines, and Dunkirk, in France, with Furntss, Nieuport, and Bruges, in Bel gium ; thus securing a very important local traffic in goods and pas song: rs, irdepextient of the foreign traffic before alluded to, placing the-possibility of its paying beyond all doubt. Arrangements are in progress and strongly supported by persons of the itighest influence both ia Belgium and France for obtaining tile consent of :he Belgian and French Governments to the above line ; and as it is so obviously advantageous to the former Government to encourage the formation of a line, bringing two such important capitals as Brussels and London within ten hours distance of each other, and the intention of the latter to encourage the formation of a continuous line. cf railway mild the coast, little doubt is entertained by the Di rec:ors in Belgium, France, and England, of such applications proving successful.

In laying before the public the prospectus of this proposed line, it may be mentioned as one of its principal advantages, that it will reduce the passage from London to Brussels, now occupying twenty-four or twenty-six hours, under the most favourable circum stances, and often thirty or forty, to twelve hours, rendering it prac ticable to make the journey with case in one day, and at two-thirds of the present expense. The long, tedious, and uncertain sea voyage will also be avoided from Dover to Ostend, which, to travellers gene rally, and particularly to ladles and invalids, is exceedingly dis agreeable, and often attended with serious consequences. It can hardly admit of a question, that the principal part of the passenger traffic between the two capitals, Londcn and Brussels, to gether with the passenger traffic of the populous cities of Antwerp, and Ghent, the latter being the Manchester of Belgium, and the im portant towns of St. Nieholar and Tierlmond, will be, under these circumstances, drawn into this channel ; and another important ad vantage to the publie, and source of revenue to the Company, will be found In the transmission of the Belgian, German, and Prussian I mails, which are now conveyed by steamers from Dover to Ostend, at a very considerable expense, and with much less certaillif VW . PROVISIONALLY It EG I STERE D. PRE LIM I NARY ANNOUNCEMENT. C A MBRIDG.E and COLCHESTER RAILWAY. Capital 800,0001., in 40,000 Shares of 201. each. Deposit 21. 2s. per Share. This Company has been formed for making the above line of rail way, and a list of the Provisional Committee, containing most influ ential names, will appear in a few days. This railway will commence at the University town of Cambridge, and proceed from thence to Colchester, passing through or near the towns of Linton, Haverhill, Great Yeldham, Hedingham, and Hal stead, proceeding by Thorp and Weeley to Walton-on-the-Naze. On reference to the map, it will be seen that this line will pass through a part of the country at present unprovided with railway ac commodation, and bring the town of Cambridge in close connexion with Colchester and the fast improving seaport town of Harwich, and by means of the railways already formed and proposed to be formed, will open a communication with Yorkshire and all parts of the North, with Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, Manchester, Liver pool, and other large manufacturing towns, and the rich mineral dis tricts of Staffordshire, the important towns of Birmingham and Worcester, North and South Wales, and by the Northampton, Ban bury, and Cheltenham Railway, with all parts of the west cf Eng land, as well as opening a direct comniouication to the important sea port towns on the eastern coast. A considerable Parliamentary grant having been made to improve the harbour of Harwich, a Company has been formed to make large and commodlous docks at that place, and from the fact of Harwich being directly opposite the ports of Holland (thus bringing it in com munication with the railways hi Germany), there Is no doubt but that Harwich will :become a first-rate seaport town for extensive commercial and passenger traffic, and will be a powerful feeder to this line. The town of Colchester is also a seaport, from which coals and goods in large quantities are supplied to Halstead and the adjacent populous towns and villages, and goon's , flour, malt, &c., in larg e quantities are shipped (supplied from the district through which this line is proposed to pass) . to London and other places. Therefore, this line will open a communication much needed, and there cannot be any doubt but that the undertaking is one of great importance, as affording railway accommodation to a large and populous district of country through which it will pass, and that it wid pay a good rate of Interest on the capital invested. From Colchester the hue will proceed to the fast-improving and much-admired watering-place, Walton-on-the -Naze, passing through Thorp and Weeley, and thereby afford railway accommodation from the midland counties to that place of summer resort for sea-bathing. Power will be applied for to allow 4/. per cent. on deposits and all calls until the line is opened. Prospectuses and plans will be forthwith issued, and, in the mean time, applications for shares may be made to the Solicitors, George Weller, isq., t 3, Kin's-road, Bedford-row, London; George Pell, jun., Esq., Wellord, Northamptonshire; and George Cooke, Esq., Northampton.

The pert of Boston affords the readiest outlet for exports from the manufacturing districts to tile north of Europe, and the importance of direct communication from the midland counties to a place ad vantageously situate cannot be over-estimated. Leicester has, or shortly will have, direct communication with Birinhigliam, and all the other important towns In the midland district. The Midland Railway Company is extendine', the communication to Melton Mowbray, by means of its branch front Syston to Peter borough, which passes through that place. There is also a complete line of railway about to be established from Nottingham, through Grantham and Folkingham, to Boston, as well as to Spalding, Wis beach, Lynn, Yarmouth, and other important towns in the eastern counties. The Leicester, Melton Mowbray, and Boston Direct Union Rail way, by forming a line from - Melton Mowbray to Folkingliarn, will supply the only lick wanting to complete a direct through communi cation front Birmingham, Warwick, Worces'cr, Coventry, and the manufacturing districts generally, to Boston, as well as means of existing and projected railways from Wales and the Bristol Channel to that seaport. The lcng'h of the proposed line will not exceed twenty-six miles; and as it will pass through a country very favourable for engineer ing purposes, the expense of construction will, it Is expected, be less than the usual average. The admirable position of this railway can not fail, it is confidently expected, to command a large return, both in passengers and in goads traffic. The Company will be in a situation to deposit the Parliamentary plans and sections in ample time for complying with the standing orders, and enabling them to apply for their Act in the ensuing session.

Woolcombe, Square, Stephens, and Prance, Plymouth SECRETARY (pro tem.)—Edward Hoare, Esq. This railway, being an extension of the Delabole and Rock line, the construction of which, from the deep water of Padstow liar. boor to the vicinity of Camelford, has been already authorised, will unite Padstow and the other ports on the north coast of Cornwall with Plymouth, by the shortest and most advantageous route which can be obtained, and thereby establish a complete and direct com munication between the Bristol and English Channels. It is intended that the principal terminus shall he near Sutton Pool, the centre of the established trade at Plymouth, for the im provement of which a Company with a sufficient capital has been formed. The line will cross the Tamer at or near Sanest), and pro ceeding by Callington approach Launceston, whence it will extend by Carnelford to the Delabole Quarries, and there form a commu nication with the Delabole and Rock Railway, for the formation of which an Act of Parliament, containing ample powers to construct docks and otherwise improve the Harbour of Padstove, has been obtained. Short branches will connect the line with Devonport, Linkenhorn, and Launceston. The Committee reserve power to make such arrangements with the parties interested in the Delabole and Rock Railway as may be deemed advisable for completing the line and extending the utility of the portion of the project to which the powers of their Act apply. Westerly winds prevailing for three-fourths of the year, it is evident that railway communication with Padstow will obtain for that harbour a great part of the trade which now enters the Bristol Channel ; inasmuch as sailing vessels would thence secure a suffi cient offing at all times to prevent the delay constantly occasioned in the ports of that channel to outward-bound ships. The im provement of this harbour will involve the construction of a break water, and thus Padstow will become the haven of refuge for that line of coast, and the seaport of the Bristol Channel. By means of this railway the most direct and expeditious cora munication will be obtained between the southern and eastern ports of Ireland, and the who:e of the north of Cornwall, Launceston, and Callington, with Plymouth and the southern coast of Devon; and in copjunction with the proposed lines of railway through the centre of Devon and Cornwall, it will afford a rapid communication with Exeter, the north of Devon, and the metropolis, on the one side, and Falmouth and the eastern ports of Cornwall on the other. By this route the distance from Launceston to Plymouth will be seven miles less than by the route through Tavistock ; whilst, in. stead of gradients of 1 in 29 and I In 30, as presented on that line, the gradients o❑ this will be perfectly easy, and well adapted for •locomotive power. The line presents few engineering difficulties, and the greater part of it will be constructed at a very moderate cost. The addi. tional expense of crossing the Tamar will be most amply compen. sated for by the cheapness of the construction of the remainder of the line; and the capital may be relied on as being amply sufficient to carry out the undertaking. In case an Act should be ohtained for the construction of a central line of railway through Cornwall and Devon, power is reserved to make arrangements for the use of so much of such line as may be available, and the capital of this Company will be proportionally reduced; and in the event of any Company projecting a railway from Falmsuth to Plymouth, and joining in the expense of the line from Saltash to Sutton Pool, the capital will be further reduced by 156,000/. _ . • : The crossing of the Tamar at Saßash will be effected by a bridge sufficient to accommodate the general traffic a the country, for which a toll will be sought. Power will be taken to purchase the interest of the owners of the ferry existing at that point of the river. The line passes through the best mining districts of the north and east of Cornwall. By means of the proposed branch to Linkenhorn, nearly the whole of the mines in the eastern past of the county will be united, and all the materials and supplies for these misses, with their produce, would be transported on this railway. The Delabole slate quarries are already in active ope ration, several steam-engines being in full work, and more in the course of erection. The traffic will be material:l , augmented by the carriage of state from these quarries, and the supply of ma terials for their working. Added to these sources, the very con siderable traffic of passengers and goods which will be derived from the north of Cornwall and Devon, from Launceston, Calling ton, and, in fact, the whole of the productive corn country through which the line passes, and which chiefly supplies Plymouth and the Government Victualling-office ; the conveyance of Irish produce and passengers from Padstow—of timber and other building materials both from Plymouth and the north coast—of sea sand, most ex tensively used for manure, from the north coast—of lime and limestone from Plymouth—of coals for the supply of the whole dis trict, including the immense quantities consumed in the mines— abundantly demonstrate that few lines of railway are likely to pay a higher rate of interest on the capital to be expended, both from the moderate expense of construction and the immense amount of traffic which must pass over the line. Power will be applied for in the Act to allow interest at four per cent, on the deposit and all subsequent calls until the opening of the line ; and the subscribers' liability, previous to obtaining the Act, will be limited to the amount of the deposit on their reapective shares. The survey is in a state of forwardness, and as the extension line and branches do not exceed thirty-six miles, there is an actual certainty of being fully prepared for an application to Parliament in the ensuing session for an Act of Incorporation. Prospectuses may be obtained on application to Edward Hoare, Esq. secretary, pro tem., at the Company's temporary offices, 15, Basinghall.street ; to the solicitors, Messrs.

S 3 , 3 f:>;ilTZ trIC.P.NS:" r r h 111:7 SECOND EDITION. kOtting -I L' . I LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOJ3ER 17, 1845. Being of tl:eir opinion who hold that " to be wise in time is to be doubly wise,"-- 7 -and that Vrere is a philosophy in CAMPBELL'S axiom, that "coming events cast their shadow 3 before them," which is applicable to all times and all cir cumstances, we entreat attention to a significant announce ment just issued by the Bank of England. That great Coin pany have issued a notice, long expected, of theirdetermina tion to raise their rate of discount on bills and notes to 31, per cent. It is very true that as compared with former years, when its ordinary rates varied from 4/. to 5/. per cent., this is still a moderate scale, although it is advanced from two-and-a-half per cent. But it must be recollected that the affluence of money into the market has been for some time past so extraordinary, as to take the last year quite out of any fair analogy or comparison with its predecessors. The enormous aggregate of previously inactive capital which the fervour for railway investment and speculation has unlocked in all parts of the kingdom, in addition to the still more extensive masses which it has diverted from other sources of appropriation that had previously absorbed them, had the effect of gradually, and for a protracted period, reducing the current value of money fur discount. The activity of the Railway Market has hitherto received no check from any sudden panic, or from untoward disclosures affecting the character of any specific stock of that description which bad been previously in request. There has consequently been no reaction adequate to produce the effect of a sudden contraction of the enterprise which has long communicated, and still im parts, so much vivacity to the Share Market.. There is no thing in the a-pect of the Public Funds to withdraw floating capital to any noticeable extent from that channel of employment in which it has manifested so remarhabl , 3 a t.ndency, of late, to flow.
