SOLICITORS. • John Ilethell, 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 adepted ? • The above proposed railway will form the shortest and most di 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 straightline from Rugby to Macclesfield, as an increased expenditure of 200,000/. or 300,000/. judiciously applied in 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 in the saving effected in the annual expense of working, and also, what is of snore importance, to the country in general, by accomplishing, at a much less cost, the same end proposed by an entire and distinct line from London to Manchester. 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 he found necessary, arrangements have been made by which additionaLlines 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, 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 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, Tutbury, Ashlmurne, and Leek, The Company has made arrangements with Use 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 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 be taken in the Act to allow 4/. per cent. interest in all calls.

The Mano.ging Committee of the Leicester and Tamworth Junction Railway Company have determined upon making an•extension from their line, commencing at or near Market Bosworth or Twyeross, and running from thence by or near Atherstone and the Whitacre Junc tion of the Midlands (late Birmingham and,Derhy) Railway to Ilif mingham. 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 distanoe between Lei cester and Birmingham will be seen by the following scale : By Rugby By Tamworth Saving Leicester to Liverpool Leicester to Manchester • 134 ...• .. 104 30 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 inequallLes of the country into consideration, a more direct line does not appear desirable or practicable, and tile 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. Application for Shares may be addressed to the Secretary at the Company's offices, 4, Coleman-street, London ; to the solicitors ; to Messrs. Aston and Scott, Throgmortdu-street, and to Messrs. Oswin and Co., Angel-court, London, No applications will bo attended to unless accompanied by a re ference to a member of the Managing Committee, or to one of the solicitors.

The general traffic route from Liverpool to Leicester is at present very circuitous, being not less than IGO miles, and taking four days to . accomplish, whi'st, 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 river- Pool, the salt works of Cheshire,' the Potteries, and the coal and iron fields of Staffordshire and Shropshire, all of which must be increased by the (Treater facilities of conveyance. -- - It was unanimously resolved that the most energetic measures should be taken to carry the project into effrct, and aided by the powert'ul influence of the Trent Valley Company, with whom the mo , t beneficial atrangeMents have been made, the complete success of the undertaking is placed beyond all doubt. The capital for the Leicester and Tamworth Junction has been subscribed, the Parliamentary deeds have been executed, and the scrips issued. Arrangements are now making for the allotment of shares in the Birmingham Extension, in which due regard will be bad to the scriphoiders of the Leicester and Tamworth Junction Company. The surveys, &c., are in such a state of forwardness as to ensure not only the Leicester and Tamworth line, but the Extension to Birmingham, coming before Parliament in the ensuing session.

The Directors of this Company take the earliest opportunity of acquainting their Proprietors that, acting under the advice of their engineers, Mr. Robert Stephenson and Mr. Bidder, they have de• termined upon 'applying to Parliament in the next session for powers to make the following extensions and branches from the main line of this railway :-Ist. from Wymondham to Disc, and from thence through Eye to Stowmarket, to join the Bury and Ipswich line. 2d. From Reedham along the Waveney Valley through Beccles, Bungay, Ilarlestone, and Di4l3 to Thetford, to join the proposed Essex and Suffolk line. 3d. From East DCreham to Fakenham and Wells. It is proposed to appropriate to the Shareholders in the Diss and Colchester and Wells and Dereham Companies part of the extension capital according to the resolutions of the last general meeti►g, and the remainder Will be offered to the Proprietors Of this Company rateably in proportion to the numbers of their shares. Due notice will be given to each Proprietor of the number of shares allotted to him, and of the time and place appointed for payment of the deposit. By order, RICHARD TILL, Secretary.

The object of this railway is to connect, in the most direct course, 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 been brought 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 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, Grantham, 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 anti merchandise. By the construction of this railway, railway communication to London will be given to Peterborough and Leicester (by arieans 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 tbe 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 IV 4 ei c i o :: Ae e ct G i r l eat a formed for the purpose of connecting Glasgow with Leeds by means of no o direct bettercommunica tion ean b from Glasgow and the Western parts of Scotland to London, but i a 3r j e u s n e c n t t i od on t w o i t t h h e t p h u e b Y l only l eff va ic; would also connect Edinburgh and the Eastern parts of Scotland as well as Durham and Noweastle (by the YbrX Metro North Midland, and Greet North of Ungland Railways), with the polis, which would bo considerably shorter than the accommodation offered by any other Company, and when cost of construction is considered, there c.apThnootabiecta o d f ou th ht e bu E t a t e h w a r t n pr c ef o e u r n en ti c e e s R w an oul w d ay be bei g .n Leeds and London Direct Railway. branch line with the East and West India Docks on the ver Thames, and the Rai , way Company having recently leased for 9L9 years tile extel,ive pepper warehouses belonging to those docks, which are ca:)a 4 ble of reMjvin,,, ,, * 12 = 000 tons of goods, together with wharfs adjoining, where The shipment and trans-shipment of goods from all parts of the worldean 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 puce 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 Parliamel:: is obtained, and afterwards only 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, iu the event of that Company not prosecuting their line to Bedford.

This district I 6 one of the chief seats of our oart factures, and and In th e towns here named, exclusive of the intervening districts, upwards of 30,000 persons art, located. leaving Stourbridge a little to the east, the lino i 4 tAkau tridgeuorth, a town enjoying an active inland t.ra,de, and ppOW l rrtd 7°°14°14 I" To ta n i rf e o s oP n pas mn s, W 0 s, that lilt,. emploYment t,p I*.T.Alhllian of a from I , n i, ter ne,t\r to Muck Wguluok, Droseley, and at 4th:` I C7l is vn% I'M 410 6 h to Shrewsbury, the bile Mends Or Colebrook Dale, and approaching in its course Wellington and Wem enters Whitchurch. From this central places branch will be formed 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 Malpas, have its northern terminus in the city of Chester. In estimating the probable anunnt of revenue which the Worees- S. ter and Chester Railway may be expected to yield, many sources of . -;,.., profit present themselves, such are the dense population located along:, ti. - : the length of the Severn Vale, and the enriching works of industr I 'T:ff. in which they are engaged. Amongst the latter may be mention i . r: the China manufactories of Worcester, the iron, coal, and earthen • ware works at Broseley and other places ; the agricultural proirre " - ,i. brought to Stourport market ; the inexhaustibl4 fields of coal an& ---, mines of iron.ore in_tbe :vicinity of ColebrookDale, Ironbridge, and \ ' ! the districts to the east of Shrewsbury generally. In calculating the cost of construction unusual advantages are 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 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 rouge 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 rortdymillacri 'broad gauge line:— by projected lines a direct communication will be afforded west ward to Swansea and Abervstwith, and, eaz: ward, to Warwick and Northampton, Cambridge, I'eterborough, 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 is stance favourable—that the geological struct•ire of the districts to be traversed is equally so, and that the want of such a line of com munication is acknowledged by the interests seated en its proposed course.

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 persona conversant with the islan I of Jamaica. The average passage by steamer between Montego Bay and King ston, occupies forty-four hours ; and the costs, including expenses on the route, amount to nearly si. 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 thu saving of time, this railway will enable proprietors on the northern side, after payment of the costa 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 porte 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 productive 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, Stc.; and dry stuffs, at present unimported, will again be brought into extensive cultivation. Timber of great variety abounds along the line ; besides the pimento tree, which flourishes spontaneously, there are mahogany, lignum vitte, ebony, Spanish elm, fine cedar, and other trees of enormous bulk. The line will also bring largely into use the valuable palmetto , and various other woods fbr agricultural and household purposes, aad cabinet works. The mineral wealth of the country on the line is very considerable ; lead ere is extremely rich and heavily impregnated with silver; whilst every variety of copper ore is found in abundance. Carbonate of lime, valuable as manure, Ste., of which Long Mountain is com posed, will form a considerable item in the tables of traffic. The peculiarly favourable circumstances attending the construction of this Railway render it highly probable that a considerable portion of the capital demanded will not be required, as every material* necessary for its formation is to be found on the line, and should the atmospheric principle of propulsion be adopted, the necessity fur cat tings and embankments will be generally superseded. A gratuitous grant of the unappropriated land required for the line and the free use of all the timber, stone, Ste., necessary for its con. struction, will, it is expected, be ceded by the Legislative Assembly g —the mineral wealth, which may be developed by the construettew of the line, will accompany the grants of the land, and may be /es.".,ed to capitalists for the benefit of the Shareholders. Of the various imports, and the internal traffic, a satisftetory esti mate can scarcely be given—it will be sufficient to state, that Coals. Fish, Lime and Salt, empty Puncheons, Shingles, Bricks, Hoops. Lead, Timber, Provisions, Cattle, Flour, Tobacco, Hardwares, and Manufactures generally, form important sources of profit. The working expenses of the raily; ay will require but a moderate per centage, and from all the circumstances already stated, and care ful inquiries into tho traffic, there can be no doubt that this line r of railway will yield a very remunerative return upon rho al Mall Steam racket island and Great Britain , by means of the Roy quired, and the speedy eammunication estahlished b e cap ital w. e n t h e n rs in this country to exercise ass Company, will Mild nt°le rovision in the Local Act f r nt of the affairs of the island. effi T c l i l e e n e t the amountpaid ° ' l' ut interest upon shares of 4% per ee • r the Bill until the openingof u ,• , to .ine. caeoulmlte"litteeeperro e p t h o t s e l e i *mt. to make j a , r i k e e , . p shares froru the passitill o- , for shares l et t usual form may hilt made to the Applications at the offices of t he , Provisional Committee, E . e Company, 4. moorgate-street ; to Me ssrs . 1 be and Preston, solicitors. 47, ainorgate-strect, Lon don ; and tlte following Shareb ro k an Mr. S. 11, Ellis, 17, Throgmorton-street ; Messrs.
