John Bathell, Esq., King William-street, London. Messrs, Joseph and William Heron, and Messrs. Higsoa and Robins ; Manchester That another and a more direct line of railway is necessary between the metropolis and the manufacturing districts around Manchester, is now fully admitted, and the question is, which is the best line to be adopted ? The above proposed railway will form the shortest and most rect route from London to Manchester, and will therefore complete the direct communication with the metropolis - at a much less expen diture of capital than by either of the projected London and Man chester lines (Remington's and Ashurst's), the actual distance to be constructed being only 73, instead of 170 to 180 miles. A careful preliminary survey has determined the promoters of this railway to adopt nearly a straight line from Rugby to Macclesfield, as an increased expenditure of 200,000/. or 300,000/. judiciously appliedin the present perfected state of civil engineering, and at the reduced cost of the execution of earth works, will prove in the end a far greater real economy, both to the Company itself hi the saving effected in the annual expense of working, and also, what is of more importance, to the country in general, by accomplishing, at a much 12si cost, the same and proposed by an entire and distinct line from London to Afar.chester. These considerations have not been sufficiently kept in view by 'other parties who have also proposed to make a railway from Rugby to Macclesfield, but who, by deviating from the direct tract 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 is a parallel case, the direct line, although presenting more difficulties to overcome, and involving a greater outlay, having been adopted by Parliament in preference to the many competing projects, in a more or less sinuous direction, which were at that time supported in the House by very influential parties. Should It be found necessary, arrangements have been made by which additional lines of rails will be laid between Rugby and Lon don on the London and Birmingham Railway, whereby the surplus traffic northwards will be abundantly provided for. This line also possesses the singular advantage of affording the shortest and most direct route from Manchester to Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth, a feature presented by no other proposed railway. By (adopting the Rugby and Oxford branch of the Great Western as far as Didcot, and thence the proposed Oxford, Southamp ton, Gos.pOrt, and Portsmouth line, the distance from Manchester to Southampton will be twenty-three miles less than by any other route, and On this account the project has been warmly supported by the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth Railway Company. The deviations from a perfectly straight line between Rugby and Macclesfield to avoid high ranges of hills, ornamental parks, or valuable buildings are very slight, and the line in general offers no engineering difficulties of any magnitude. The towns more directly interested as a local line are Nuneaton, Hinckley, Atherstone, Market Bosworth, Burton•upon-Trent, Tuthury, 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 '.Hind, 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 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 investment for capital. The shareholders in the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Ports mouth, in the London and Birmingham, and in the Manchester and Birmingham Railways, will have a preference in the allotment of the shares. The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share holders beyond the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament is obtained, and power will bo taken in the Act to allow 4/. per cent. interest in all calls. Application for detailed prospectus, maps, and shares, may be made to the Secretary, at the Officcs, 78, King William-street, City, London, and at 22, Cross-street, Manchester; and the following sharebrokers :—Messrs.

Tbe general traffic route f rom Liverpool to Leicester is at present very circuitous, being not less than 160 miles, and taking four clays to accomplish, whilst, by means of the Leicester and Tamworth Railway, the distance will be shortened, and goods conveyed at a much cheaper rate in the space of a few hours. The traffic report was equally gratifying —an immense quantity of heavy goods are daily conveyed to Leicester from Liver fields of Staffordshire and Shropshire, all of which must be increaaed by the greater facilities of conveyance. It was unanimously resolved that the most energetic measures should be taken to carry the project into effect, and aided by the powerful influence of tile Trent Valley Company, with whom the most beneficial arrangements have been made, the complete success of tile undertaking is placed beyond all doubt. The capital for the Leicester and Tamworth Junction has been sabseribed, the Parliamentary deeds have been executed, and the snips issued. Arrangements are now making for the allotment of shares in the Birmingham Extension, in which due regard will be bad to the scripholders of the Leicester and Tamworth Junction Company. The surveys, &c., are in such a state of forwardness wile ensure r,t only the Leicester and Tamworth line, but the Extension to Birmingham, coming before Parliament in tile ensuing session.

The length of the main line, from the point of junction at Totten ham to the London and Birmingham Railway, Will be 11 miles ; and the length of the branch line to Barnet, will be 4% miles. From the junction with the Birmingham Railway to Chipping Barnet, 9% miles; from the Decoy (near Brent -street, Hondon), on the proposed Barnet and North Met ro p o lit an Junction Railway, to the Northern and Eastern Counties Railway, by Stamford -hill, 6% miles. There are no engineering difficulties throughout the entire distance. The line will proceed beyond the range of the Highgate and Hamp stead Hills, and the branch from the main line to Barnet will follow the valley of the river Brent to the intended station at Barnet ; thus the expense of construction will be less than any other metropolitan line of railway, for the above reason, and because it will pass through an agricultural district, avoiding all ornamental property and large collections of houses and buildings.

The object of this railway is to connect, in the most direct coarse, the important and increasing manufacturing town of Leeds with the Metropolis, the want of which has long been felt, and is too univer sally acknowledged to need any comment, and it is under this con viction that this important undertaking, after several minute exa minations of the country through which it will pass, has bee' brouzht forward. The proposed line will commence at the junction Of the Manches ter and Leeds, and York and North Midland Railways, near Wake field, and will terminate by means of a junction with the Eastern Counties Railway at Bedford (to which place it is the intention of that Company to extend their line in the ensuing session of Parlia ment), and by thus availing itself as far as possible of the existing railways, will complete the most direct and least expensive trunk I 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, Granthurt, Melton Mowbray, Oakham, and Stamford. The importance of such a line is obvious, both from the nature of its course (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 Syston and PeterborOugh Railway), to Newark and Nottingham (by the Nottingham and Lincoln line), and to Sheffield and Gainsbo rough (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 several counties through which this Line will pass, the Line in itself consi dered 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 return 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 communica tion 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 Railways), with the Metropolis, which would be considerably shorter than the accommodation offered by any other Company, and when cost of construction Is considered, there cannot be a doubt but that preference would be given to the Great Leeds and London Dire ct Railway. The thct of the Eastern Counties Railwiy being connected by a branch line with the East and West In lia Docks on the ver Thames, and the Rai:e ay Company having recently leased for 9:9 years the exte is ve repper warehouses belonging to those doas, which are etpable 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 whole of the manufacturing dis tricts 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 an invaluable connexion between the rivers Clyde and Themes. It has been ascertained that there are no engineering difficulties, that the works 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 Parliarneni: is obtained, and afterwards orey 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 line, In the event of that Company not prosecuting their line to Bedford. Applications for Shares (in the form annexed) may be made to J. B. Gibson, Esq., 9, Copthall-court, and Messrs.

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 before 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 doubtful. 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 Bewdley. This district is one of the chief seats of our carpet manu factures, and in the towns here named, exclusive of the intervening districts, upwards of 30,000 persons are located. Leaving Stourbridge a little to the east, the line is taken to Bridgenorth, a town enjoying an active inland trade, and possessing woollen manufactures and iron works, that give employment to a population of about 15,000.

In the allotment of shares, due regard will be had to the interests of the scrip holders in the Leicester and Tamworth Junction Railway Company. The surveys are in progress, and the line is re ported as easy of construction, and free from engineering difficulties. The twofold advantages offered by this project give it a manifest superiority over every other scheme which has yet been devised for traversing this rich and extensive, but hitherto unintersected portion of the Midland Counties. The Leicester and Tamworth Junction, as originally projected, brings, by means of the Trent Valley Railway, the important manufacturing town of Leicester and the Midland and Eastern Counties into immediate communication with the mining districts and wool markets of Staffordshire and Shropshire, the great towns of Liverpool and Manchester, and the intervening localities ; whilst the projected extension affords the shortest practicable railway route from Leicester to Birmingham, and the western and south western counties of England. The saving in distance between Lei cester and Birmingham will be seen by the following scale : By Rugby By Tamworth Saving Leicester to Liverpool ...• • • 147 Leicester to Manchester .. • . 134 .• Leicester to Birmingham .... 49 .......... 35 .... •. • • 14 The construction of the Birmingham extension in conjunction with the Leicester and Tamworth Railway gives this project an evident advantage in point of expense over any independent line from Lei cester 'to Birmingham ; and, taking the inequalities of the country into consideration, a more direct line does not appear desirable or practicable, and the saving which which will be effected of more than half the expense which must attach to the construction of an inde pendent line from Leicester to Birmingham is a most important consideration.

The great difficulty, delay, and expense attending the transit of Passengers and goods from Kingston to Montego Bay and the inter mediate ports, either by sea or land, is well known to all persons conversant with the Wan I of Jamaica. The average passage by steamer between Montege Bay and King ston, occupies forty-four hours ; and the costs, including expenses on the route, amount to nearly W. each passenger, while the quickest journey by land occupies three days, and the expenses, including horse hire, reach nearly 201. By the railway the whole line will be traversed in eight hours, at an expense not exceeding an average of 30s. per passenger. The difference in the freights between the northern and southern sides of the island and England is such, that independently of the saving of time, this railway will enable proprietors on the northern side, after payment of the costs of transit, to ship their produce at much less expense than at present, and will afford them the advan tage of shipping at all times from the very excellent harbour of King ston, instead of being confined, as they now are, to the exposed ports of the east and north of the island. The line will commence at a spacious quay, to be constructed at Kingston Harbour, with a depth of water sufficient for vessels of the largest tonnage employed in the export trade of the Island ; at or near to which point it is proposed to form a junction with the King ston and Spanish Town Railway, and proceed thence by or near Rock Fort, Yallahs, Morant Town, Port Morant, Plantain Garden, Man chioneal Harbour, Port Antonio, Buff Bay, Annotto Bay, Port Maria, St. Ann's, Duncan, Martha Brae, and terminate at or near Montego Bay. By these means a line of intercommunication will he formed between the most important and populous places, and facility offered for carriage of the produce of the most predictive portion of the island. Through the southern portion of the line, the physical features are gentle elevations, almost parallel to the principal range of moun tains which run east and west, nearly the length of the island ; the eastern portion, from Port Morant to Plantain Garden, is almost level ; while the northern runs through an exceedingly rich country, rising into hills separate from each other by spacious vales. The whole of the country traversed by the line abounds in the staple ar ticles of sugar, coffee, rum, molasses, ginger, pimento, and other spices, dye wood, drugs, &c. ; and as more than one-third of the land is still uncultivated, the production of these articles will, by the increased facility for traffic, be greatly increased ; and cotton, Indigo, cocoa, &c., and dry stuffs, at present unimported, will again be brought into extensive cultivation.

A gratuitous grant of the unappropriated land required for the line, and the free use of all the timber, stone, fke., necessary for its con struction, will, it is expected, be ceded by the Legislative Assembly ; —the mineral wealth, which may be developed by the construction of the line, will accompany the grants of the land, and may be leased. to capitalists for the benefit of the Shareholders.

Colebrook Dale, and approaching In its course Weill! enters IVhitchurch. From this central place a brand to Norwich via Stoke, forming a junction with tin Crewe Railway. The trunk line will continue from V passing through or near Malpas, have its northern I city of Chester. In estimating the probable annunt of revenue will tar and Chester Railway may be expected to yield, profit present themselves, such are the dense populatii the length of the Severn Vale, and the enriching we.. in which they are engaged. Amongst the latter may be mentioned time China manufactories of Wercester, , the iron, coal, and earthen ware works at Broseley and other places; the agricultural proiuoo brought to Stourport market ; the inexhaustible fields of coal and mines of iron ore in the vicinity of Colebrook Dale, Ironbridge, and the districts to the east of Shrewsbury generally. In calculating the cost of construction unusual advantages arc also obvious. The lino traverses a district affording levels of several miles in extent, and with a surface peculiarly favourable. Tho resi dent population, disappointed by the postponement of promised pro jects, have warmly espoused the present, and the labouring popula tion being familiar with mining operations, will be found better qualified for the execution of railway works here than in many other localities. As a link in the railway network of England, or as auxiliary to existing or projected lines passing in various directions, few schemes hitherto proposed appear to afford greater inducement for investment, or a wider range of accommodation for traffic and travelling. This project constitutes a lengthened link in the chain that will connect Liverpool with Bristol, the grand trunk of the West of England ;--its southern terminus, Worcester, is the half way station of the London and Portdynnllaen broad gauge line : by projected lines a direct communication will be afforded west ward to Swansea and Aberystwith, and, ea.V.ward, to Warwick and .Northampton, Cambridge, Peterborough, Harwich, Lynn, Lincoln, and Hull. The line has been repeatedly and carefully examined by the Com pany's acting engineer, who reports that the rail for many miles may be laid on the natural level—that the gradients are in every in stance favourable—that the geological strueVire of the districts to be traversed is equally so, and that the want of such a line if com munication is acknowledged by the interests seated en its proposed course.
