This railway will connect the east and west coasts, and form a direct ronte from the ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood-on-Pyre, and Lancaster, to Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Commencing at Lancaster, it will proceed up the valley of the Lune, by Kirkby Lonadale, Sedbergk, and Kirkby Stephen, and thence by the most practicable line to New castle. It will run nearly parallel with the old coach road, whick has hitherto been the principal passenger route front Lancaster to Newcastle. It will readily be conceded that great benefits will flow torn a direct railway communication between the coal-Ilelds and mining districts of Durham and Northumberland, and the important towns and ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood, Newcastle, and Lancaster. The entire length of the line is rich in mineral productions—coal slate, limestone, marble, and other elements of a great local traffic aboand, and cannot fail to make this one of the raost remunerative projects of the day. A considerable saving of distance between the important towns on the termini is effected over any existing or pro jected scheme. It will be reserved to the Committee of Management to make such alterations in the line, or the amount of capital required, or other wise, as may be deemed most advantageous to the interests t. /the Company. Power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate of four per cent. on the calls from the passing of the Act to the opening of the line, as well as to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscriptions only.

The allusion to the meting which took place in Manchester on the 24th of October last with the Committee of the Sheffield, Buxton, Leek, Potteries, and Crewe Railway, contained in the circular of the 3d November, signed " G. C. Holland, Chairman," and addressed to the applicants for shares in the proposed Great Grimsby, Sheffield, the Potteries, and Grand Junction Railway, is evidently, from the ambiguity of its phraseology intended to serve a particular purpose. The proposal for an amalgamation of the two undertakings above named was made by the promoters of the Great Grimsby, Sheffield, the Potteries, and Grand Junction Railway, and not by the Pro visional Directors of the Sheffield, Buxton, Leek, P tteries, and Crewe Railway. The latter feel that the adoption of say other course than the one they decided upon on the 24th ult. could not have proved otherwise than injurious to the interest of their shareholders. It is stated in the circular, that negotiations are now pending, with every prospect of success, of a nature which must materially enhance the value of this undertaking; in reply to which it is sufficient to state that, whatever the negotiations here alluded to may be, none whatever are pending between the Sheffield, Buxton, Leek, Pot tcries, aad Crewe, and Great Grimsby, Sheffield, the Potteries, and Grand Junction Committees.

At a meeting of the Provisional Committee of this undertaking, held at Radley's Hotel, on Wednesday, the sth instant, it was una nimously resolved to apply for powers to construct a branch line about four miles in length, from Elmsted to Alresford, thus connect ing the town of Colchester with the deep water of the river Colne, at the nearest point, and where vessels of 500 tons can discharge their cargoes with safety, by means of which Colchester will be com pletely established as a seaport tows. The engineers reported that the cost of this branch, with all suit able works, would not exceed 50,0001., and it was resolved to increase the capital by that amount accordingly, and instructions were given for the necessary survey being forthwith proceeded in. As the allotment of shares will not take place until the standing orders are complied with previously to the 30th instant, applications for prospectuses, plans, and shares, will continue to be received by the solicitors and brokers already advertised.

The first object of this line is to connect the town of Birmingham Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route and to supply an important link of commanication between the tows of Spalding aid the eastern coast, and the western aid midland districts. Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Derekam, Lynn, and Holbeack Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn, Witham, Castle Bytham, South Wytham, and Wyntondham, to a point on the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near Melton- Mowbray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mid laid Counties Railway, an almost direct route to Leicester, and thence to Coventry and Birmingham by the proposed Coventry, Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway. The projected line will form the most direct communication be tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, and will, by means of the proposed lines across the county of Leicester, via Bar ton-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Linen'', Norfolk, Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to sack other by many miles than any other line of railway. It will ferns, with other projected railways, an almost direct line across the kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, on the east, to Aberystwith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, oa the west. , , — The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. There la ao tunnel ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary; the line from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve riles, is very level, and may be constructed at a small coat. It will secure the advantages of railway communication tea tract of country at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open ing out sources of trade undeveloped for want of the means of transit. The central midland districts have felt greatly the want of direct communication with the coast; and this line will at once supply the deficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire. It will afford a transit for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon supply from the north at high prices: it will also secure the advan tages of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershire works, to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, which are at present only supplied at very high rates; and, in return traffic, the midland dis tricts will obtain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk. Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which is the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, and connected by the River Welland with the German Ocean. The proposed capital will be sufficient for the construction of the necessary works and every subsequent expense ; and the lissome derivable from the traffic in passengers between Birmingham, Co ventry, Leicester, Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Boston, the trans port of corn, cattle, and other produce of the great agricultural districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland districts, will be sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay. The Parliamentary surveys have been commenced, and are now in active progress, and contracts have been entered into which en sure sufficient time for compliance with the standing orders. • Forms of application for shares, plans, and prospectuses may be had of the Solicitors ; also at the offices of the Company, 4, Tra falgar-square, Charing-cross, where applications for shares, accom panied by respectable references, may be addressed to the Provi sional Committee. 1 FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

This line has been projected for the purpose of forming the most direct communication between Birmingham and the Midland Coun ties, and the important and rising pert of Aberystwith and the sea coast of Wales. It is intended ti comrneace at the junction of the Welch Midland and Stour Valley Railways (both of which have projected lines to Birmingham), between Kidderminster and Bewdley, and proceed from thence through Cleebury Mortimer to Ludlow, where it will form a junction with the Worcester and Portdynllaen, and Bridgnortk, Ludlow, and Wolverhampton Railways. From Ludlow it will fellow the line of the present mail read, along the Valley of the Tem* te Knighton, from which place it is intended te throw off a branch to the Craven Arms, to run into the Shropshire Mineral Railway, which has" its terminus at that place. The Lime %will proceed from Knighton to Lianidloes, where it will join the projected Manchester and Aberystwith Railway, and proceed along that line far the re mainder of the distance. The use of all projected lines being thus sought for, the part to be made will not exceed sixty miles ; and as surveyors are already upon the lino, the plans, Sec., will all be ready to ge to Parliament in the ensuing session. The advantages of the present lime ever any other projected rail way between Birmingham and Aberystwith are :—That it is the most direct route between the respective termini; that it passes through a district at present anprovided with railway accommoda tion ; that by it and the Birmingham, Stamford, mid Roden lines, a regular chain if railway communication is opened between St. George's Channel and the German Ocean; and by the Great Eastern and Western line a communication is also opened with Yarmouth, Norwich, and King's Lynn ; that it will open the slate mines of Cardiganshire, and the limestone of Radnorshire to Shrop shire, and the while of the midland counties ; while , on the ether hand, by the branch from the Craven Arms, the coals of Shropshire will be brought into Radnorshire, Montgomeryshire, and Cardigan shire, where that article does not exist, at little more than one-third of its present cost. From these and other sourees of trails, it must be obvious that a high rate of interest upon the capital embarked may be depended upon. The line throughout the whole distance meets with the most influ ential local support, so as te ensure its complete 'Recess. There are a* engineering difilealties of any magnitude, and no ornamental property will be iavaded. Should the atmospheric pinei ple be fully tested and be found to slower, it will be adopted on this line. The responsibility of the shareholders will be limited to the meant of their subscriptions, and powerlwill betaken in the Age to allow hi terest at four per cent. on the calls. The Committee reserve the usual power to amalgamate with any other existing Company or Companies, to limit or vary the line, as to them shall seem most expedient, in order to carry oat the objects of the Company.

This line is intended as a connecting link between the Trent Valley and Wolverhampton, Chester, and Birkenhead Junction Rail ways. It will commence at Stafford, and terminate at Market Drayton, and is essentially requisite to perfect the communication between London, Chester, and Holyhead. Though the tine will not exceed thirteen miles in length, it will afford immense accommodation to an important district of Stafford shire and Shropshire, through which it will pass; and by means of the lines with which it is Intended to communicate, it will effect the shortest possible route from London to Liverpool, from London to Birkenhead, and from London to Ireland. A saving of not less than thirty miles will thus he accomplished. It will thus become a most important adjunct to the proposed Wolverhampton, Chester, and Birkenhead Junction Railway; but the prominent feature in the scheme is this—that by bringing ' Stafford into immediate conjunction with Market Drayton and Chester, all the advantages of the proposed Trent Valley Continua tion Lino to Holyhead, will be realised without the enormous sacrifice of time and capital inseparable from the carrying out of such a project, which, however, is impracticable. It is obvious that such a scheme will be of the utmost general benefit, as it will materially shorten the distance between the eaDitals of England and Ireland, and tend to a still further development of the great industrial resources of the two countries. As an investment, its eligibility cannot be disputed, as the feilowing lines of railway will be important tributaries to its revenue :—The London and Birming ham, Trent Valley, Great Western, Birmingham, Oxford and Brighton, Birmingham and Southampton, Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton ' Birmingham, Dudley and Wolverhampton, Bir • mingham, Bristol, and Gloucester, and Grand Junction Railways. The lines in the vicinity of Liverpool will also become valuable tribu taries to it. Although this line is proposed by a Company distinct from that of the Wolverhampton, Chester, and Birkenhead Junction Railway, yet, if it should be found expedient and practicable, the two Companies may be amalgamated. At all events, the shareholders in the Wol verhampton, Chester, and Birkenhead Company, will have the pre ference in the allotment. It is intended to proceed to Parliament in the ens ting Betake, ES the plans and surveys are in a very forward state- FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SMARM.

The chief objects of this Company are to carry into effect a co tional arrangement entered into with Mons. 'toilette for the purchase of his patent for all Europe, and to sell licenses to ace it. The promoters confidently believe that the atmospheric system of Mons. Hallette is the most perfect and economical that has been In vented for propulsion en railways and canals, and in this opinion they are supported by that of many eminent men of science and ex perienced engineers. By the arrangement entered into with the inventor, tees deposit will be more than will be required until a contract e the patent on a railway has been actually signed, and under any cir cumstances it is believed that 4/. per share will be ample to carry out fully the objects of this Company.

The object of this railway is to afford local accommodation to the large population lying between Droitwich, Stourbridge, and Wolver hampton, and at the same time to improve the chain of direct com munication between Manchester, Salisbury and Poole, on the one hand, and between Manchester and Southampton on the other. The line will commence by a junction with the Birmingham and Glou cester Railway, near Droitwich, and passing by the salt works at that place, and through or near the towns of Brontsgrove and Stour bridge, will fall into the intended Grand Central Station at Wolver hampton, whence run connecting lines with all parts of the kingdom. The importance of this communication, with reference only to the wants and convenience of Droitwich, was strongly dwelt upon in Committees of Parliament during the last session, when it was proved that a communication with the port of Southampton, as well as with the agricultural districts of Wilts, Dorset, and Hants, must .tend to a very great extension of trade in salt, as well as in iron and coal from the Staffordshire district. Traversing a densely populated district, and improving the com munication from Liverpool, Manchester, and the north, with the ports and towns of the south and west of England, it is obvious the line must also command a large passenger traffic. The length of railway will be about twenty-four miles. Pro moted with the sanction and immediate support of the Manchester and Southampton Company, it is intended, after satisfying the re quirements of the district and other important interests, that a proportion of the remaining shares in the line shall be distributed to such of the Shareholders in that Company as shall signify their desire for an allotment on or before the 10th of November instant. The levels of the country have already been taken, and active measures instituted tar completion of the surveys, and the Directors confidently hope to bring the measure before Parliament in the ensuing session.

The Committee take this opportunity of stating that the deposits upon shares have been fatly paid ; that the survey of the line from Cheltenham to Southampton will be completed this week ; that, as to a considerable portion of their line to Poole, the survey will also be completed within a few days ; and the remainder in full time for the requisite parliamentary deposits. As regards the portion of line between Salisbury and Poole, the Committee have concluded a friendly arrangement with the London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Jnnction Company, for their participation, to a limited extent, in that line.

To Medical Gentlemen, Invalids, and all persons requiring a night light, the invention will prove in valuable, being the best, safest, and most economical ever produced ; it will also be serviceable in halls and passages. It can be carried in perfect safety without extinguishing the light, supplying a desidera tum that has been long felt. It is free from danger, uncertain burn ing, and the offensive odour and smoke arising from rushlights and other night lights, and so portable that it will be found a great com fort to Ladies or invalids travelling.

PALMER and CO. invite the attention of the public to their new and beautiful patterns of Lamps in richly Enamelled Papier Machee and Ormolu, which may be seen at all the lamp ware houses and ironmongers in town and country. These Lamps give the light of the best Argand Lamp, and are now preferred to any other light yet introduced, as their increasing sale for many years, notwithstanding the many novelties both in Oil and Spirit Lamps which are constantly appearing, proves. The MID-SIZE LAMP will be very economical and suitable for ordinary use; the candles for it have three wicks, giving an excellent light at an expense of one penny for three hours. Purchasers should be particular to notice whether the name of PALMER and CO. is on the Lamps they buy, as many badly-constructed lamps, not made by them, are sold.

NICOLL have received permission, according to the specification in the Act 6 and 7 Vict., cap 65, to alter and otherwise adapt the coat, known as the REGISTERED PALETOT, to be suitable for winter wear, and it is now being made of a thicker ma terial, viz., of milled Llama cloth ; it is waterproofed by the new method, which, it is well known, does not unnecessarily confine the heat of the body, but the material, when thus operated upon, remains as porous as other that has not undergone this process, the effect being that it does not sop, and will turn a stout shower of rain, bat not that of 24 hours' duration. Nicoll's Registered Paletot for winter wear is a garment that is warm without being heavy, which, even for travelling, the necessity of wrapping up in a cumber some manner, has of late years been found needless, distances being so much shortened by present railway and other conveyanoes. Nicoll's Registered Paletot, used alone as a morning frock coat, net over another, is found to be a most agreeable garment for walking exercise ; and from the skilfhl way it is formed, it does not confine the chest or shoulders, but has an equally neat and gentlemanly appearance when worn in cold wet weather, or in the evening over a morning or dress coat. The price is three guineas, that for summer wear being two. It may be ob served that those principles are retained that has obtained for the Registered Paletot the patronage of mere than one of the Crowned Heads of Europe. The Prince Consort, Prince George of Cambridge, the chief members of the Court, prin cipal families in the kingdom, who it is well known are distinguished in their taste for perfect neatness of dress. The Regis tered Paletot having therefore necessarily excluded anything vulgar or outre in appearance, would alone recommend itself to the noticeof the respectable members of the middle classes, was it not further as sisted by its moderate price, being for ready money. It may be ob tained of the principal tailors of the chief provincial cities; but as only most of the respectable firms are appointed agents, any attempt on the part of others will thus by the public be at once detected, and such attempts, when known, will be visited by the penalties provided in the Act beforementioned ; and in furtherance of which a reward of fifty pounds will be paid for information that may lead to the conviction of such parties by 11.
