The whole line is free from engineering difficulties, and can be constructed at a moderate cost, and has olitained the approval of the landed interest, whose ornamental properties have been strictly pro tected. 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 arrange ments as shall best serve the interests of this Company, and the public, with existing or projected Companies, and also to nominate the first Directors of the Company. Power will be taken under the Act to limit the responsibility of shareholders to the amount of their subscription, and to allow four per cent. Interest on the calls. Preference to the allotment of shares will be given to those locally interested, and to the shareholders of lines in connexion with this. No application for shares can in any case be attended to, unless reference be made to one of the Provisional Committee, the Solicitors, Bankers, or Brokers of the Company. Applications for shares, In the usual form, to be made, no ater than the 12th of October, to the respective Solicitors and the follow- lug Brokers : London—Messrs: Wells, Prinseps, and Westropp, 76, Old Broad- st reQt Wolverhampton—Mr. Payne Liverpool—Messrs. Lloyd and Price. co-opera' e with the North London Junction Railway Company, and the perfection of a project of no ordinary magnitude and importance will be realised throughout the whole of this short but very valuable line of railway. A lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the entire district thro7gh which this Company proposes to run this line; by this means the most casual observer will be enabled to ascertain that the environs of London, north of the Thames, will be placed in immediate commuLicatlon with the City ; while the dense popu lation of the City will enjoy a foci ity of connexion with its suburban localities, necessarily affording it the greatest accommodation. With such important local resources, therefore, together with the vast traffic on which the shareholders of this Company have a right to rely for profit, a large amount of revenue may be fairly and justly anticipated, fully commensurate with the outlay of the proposed capital. That revenue will be derived thin; : The daily passenger traffic on the Great Western amounts to 3,345, one-half of which reaches the City. The London and Bir mingham amounts to 4,322 daily, two-thirds of u Welt reach the City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,400 persons daily, half of whom pass to the West-end of London. The omnibus traffic daily is 30,694 passengers, two-thirds of which may be given to the City. Passengers from the suburban districts reaching the City, now no accemmodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily. From these sources the following products are derived: — Per Ann.

The capital, as now extended, will be divided into 65,000 shares of 201. each, upon which a deposit of 21. 2s. per share will be payable forthwith. A portion of the shares will he allotted to parties locally interested. The remainder will be distributed amongst the present shareholders and the public generally, upon application being made by them in a manner hereinafter mentioned. The Directors, in compliance with the advice of their Parlia mentary Agents, deem it expedient, in consequence of the recent standing ord , rs of the House of Lords, to require a deposi cf 101. per cent. The shareholders are, therefore, requested, in order to carry this arrangement into effect, to deposit their scrip certificate with the Secretary, on or before the Ist of October next, in exchange for which they will obtain a certificate upon which the bankers of the Company will receive the amount of the difference payable, and, upon producing the receiptand signing the new Parliameatary Deeds, fresh scrip will be delivered to them.

This Railway will commence at the important town of Wolver hampton, proceeding through or near to Seisdon, Trysull and Claverley, to the manufacturing town of Bridgnorth ; from thence It will continue through a rich agricultural and populous district to Ludlow, and there fall into other projected lines to all parts of Eng land, North and South Wales, and Ireland, a distance of about thirty two miles. It will afford direct communication between Ludlow, Bridgnorth and Wolverhampton, Dudley, &c.; and, by the South Staffordshire Junction Railway, give to those towns and districts the most direct route for passengers and goods to and from the Central, North Eastern and Eastern parts of the Kingdom, and from which those towns have 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 Dridgnorth and Ludlow, coals and the mineral productions of Staffordshire, Worcestershire, and the Clee Hills, at nearly one-half the present cost of those ne cessary articles, and be the means of conveyance for corn, cattle, sheep., cider, wool, hops 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 pro duce 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 ut most 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 easiest communication to and from the cen tral parts of the ttingdom.

The shareholders of the South Midland Railway Company are in formed that arrangements have been made by the Committee of Management with the Board of Directors of the Midland Railway Company for carrying out the original South Midland line with the important additions of a line to Bedford and a branch to Huntingdon, the whole being consolidated in one undertaking, and placed under the management of a joint Board of Direction composed of members of the Boards of the two Companies. The objects, therefore, embraced by the present undertaking am— t. A direct line from Leicester by way of Market Harborough to Northampton, being ; he original South Midland 2. A line diverging therefrom at Market Harborough, and passing by way of Kettering to Bedford ; and 3. A branch from the last-mentioned line, at or near Kettering, to Huntingdon. The capital at present belonging to the South Midland Company will form a portion of the consolidated capital (the remainder being contributed by the Midland Railway Company), and in order to com ply with the Standing Orders of the House of Lords, as recently altered, it is necessary that the deposit of Id. 2s. already paid on the South Midland shares should be increased to 21. 2s. It is also neces sary that the scrip should be called in and re-issued, and new Parlia mentary deeds executed.

Lewes Robert Foreman, Esq , Solicitor, Tonbridge Wells Benjamin Hall, Esq., Busted Lodge, near Uckfleld. This railway is projected to form a direct communication between Brighton and Tonbridge Wells. It will commence at a point of junction with the Brighton and Lewes Railway at the town of Lewes, and proceeding by tha Valley of the Ouse, pass by Uckfleld and Rotherfield, thence following the valley to Groombridge, proceed to Tonbridge Wells, and there form a junction with the Tonbridge Wells branch of the South-Eastern Railway. The length of the line will be about twenty-two miles. The neces sity and advantages of this line of railway are self-evident—it will connect Brighton immediately with the populous and fashionable neighbonrhood of Tonbridge Wells, and more mediately it will con nect Southampton, Portsmouth. Chichester, and the ports of the western coast of Sussex, with the important towns of Maidstone, Chatham, Rochester, Canterbury, and Dover; thus effecting the greatly desired object of the shortest and most rapid communication between Dover and Southampton. The internal communication between Kent and Sussex will be thus rendered complete. The following towns and populous villages are in constant trading communication with Lewei and Brighton, and will be accommodated by this line :—Barcombe, Ringmer, Isfield, Little Horsted, Uckfleld Maresfield, Framfield, East Hoathly, 'Mayfield, Withyharn, Wadhurst, - Newhaven, and Harbour, Waldron, Fletching, Busted, Rothertleld, Lamberhurst, Frant, Ticehurst, Groombridge, Hadfield, Ashurst. The existing local ;.raffic will thus be alone sufficient to prove highly remunerative, exclusive of the great passenger and goods traffic that must of necessity flow into this course as soon as the ne cessary accommodation is afforded. Detailed traffic tables are is course of preparation. The preliminary surveys have been com pleted, and no difaculties, engineering or otherwise, present them selyes, but, on the contrary, this railway will be of facile construc tion, and easy gradients • The line hits - been submitted to the Earl of Liverpool and the Earl of Abergavenny, through whose lands the line will ran for several Miles., and has been approved by them. The other landowners generally are favourable to this line, to which they have pledged their support. The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at the rate of 4 per cent. on all paid-up calls from the passing of the Act until the completion of the line, and the liabi:ity of the shareholders will be limited to the amount of the subscription. • Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Company will be under the control of the Committee of Management for the time being, to whom power is given to allot the shares, and to apply the funds of the Company in payment of all the expenses incurred in its formation, and in the preparation of the plans and sections to be submitted to Parliament. Power will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime is hereby given to the Committee of Management, as above, to raise any ad ditional capital, to abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, or enter into any arrangements with any other company or companies, and also to nominate the first Directors of are Company.

This Cempany is formed for making a railway from Liverpool to Derby, and will, in conjunction with the Manchester and Rugby Direct, and London and Birmingham Railways, form the nearest route from Liverpool to London. It will commence at Liverpool, and proceed along the Liverpool and Manchester Railway to within a short distance of the Whiston Inclined Plane, and thence branch off, 1 0 a south-easterly direction, through Warrington, Knutsford, and Congleton to Leek (thore joining the Manchester and Rugby Rail way), and from thence through Ashbourno to Derby. The whole length of the proposed line will be about sixty-six miles. It will be seen by reference to the map that this important.line of railway will form the shortest route from - Liverpool to London, and effect a direct chain of communication between Liverpool and Derby, and will thence, by means of the Midlands and other railways, open an unin terrupted route to the more eastern counties, and afford a complete Midland communication between the eastern and western parts of the kingdom and the important intermediate manufacturing districts. The most important feature in this railway is that it forms the shortest road from Liverpool to London. The distance by it, with the Manchester an 4 Rugby. and London and Birmingham, will be only 188 miles, whereas by the present route it is 210 miles, and by the Trent Valley Railway 2001 miles ; effecting a saving of 22 miles is one instance, and 12% miles in the other. And as regards Liverpool and Derby, the whole distance between Liverpool and Derby will be reduced by this line to about 74 miles, thus decreasing the distance by any present existing railway, at least 46 miles; an advantage which carries in itself the conviction of the necessity there is for the proposed railway, in order to eonnect more immediately two such important towns, especially when these towns are but the foci, as it were, for other railways from still more distant localities, as before adverted to. The distance also frem Manchester to Leek (where the proposed railway will unite with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) will he about 30 miles, and from Leek to Derby about 26% miles, making the whole distance from Manchester to Derby only 564 miles ; and thus diminishing the distance by any present communi cation between those important towns by about 28 miles, an object most desirable to he attained, and of itself quite sufficient to recom mend a line of railway embracing such beneficial results. But great as these results most certainly will he, they are far out weighed by the very important consideration that, in conjunction with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway, it will also be the most direct route from Liverpool to London. The distance from Liverpool to Leek (the proposed point of junc tion with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) is 47% rail's; from Leek to Rugby, according to the line as proposed by the Man chester and Rugby Direct Railway, 58 miles, and from Rugby to London 83 miles; thus making the whole distance from Liverpool to London 188% miles, instead of 210, by the present route. With regard to the traffic and other details connected with the working of the line, it seems only necessary to revert to the great importance of the towns proposed to be brought into communication with each other, in order to convince the minds of all that the source of revenue thus derived will be immense. There are no engineering difficulties connected with the forming of the line. 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 on all calls. Applications for detailed prospectuses, maps, and shares, may be made to the Secretary, at the offices, 28, 3loorgate-street, at Mr. Bethel's Offices, 78, King William-street, City, London ; and at 22, Cross-street, Manchester, and the following Share brokers:—Messrs.

This line of railway, which is about sixty-five miles is length, is intended to commence at Uttoxeter (the terminus of the proposed Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Worcestershire Junction Railway) and to proceed to Sheffield and Huddersfield. It will form a direct com munication between two of the most important manufacturing and mining districts in England, viz., South Staffordshire, Huddersfield, and Sheffield, and Rotherham in Yorkshire ; the South Staffordshire portion including Dudley, Tipton,Walsall, Bilston, Wednesbury, and Wolverhampton. _ . . . This line Will also open a direct railway communication between Leeds, Huddersfield, and the West Riding of Yorkshire and Kidder minster, Worcestershire, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, Taunton, and Exeter, and with Ludlow, Leominster, Hereford, Brecon, Car diff, Neath, Swansea, Llanelly, Caermarthen, Milford Haven, Fish guard, Aberystwith, and with Port Dynnllaen, the future outport for Ireland. And also the most direct communication betweelt Leeds and Southampton. _ _ The line will pass nearly along the Uttoxeter and Callon Canal to a point near Prestwocxl, in case the canal be purchased by the pro moters of this undertaking. It will proceed through Ellaston and Mayfield to Ashbourne, thence near Dovedale, Buxton, and Chapel en-la-Frith, Woodhead and llolmflrth to Huddersfield, where it will join the Huddersfield and Leeds Railway, and so to Thirsk. It will open new mines, in addition to those already in work, of lead, coal, iron ore, barytes, and carboniferous and magnesian limestone on the route, in addition to forming a direct, speedy, and cheap conununica tion between the important towns above mentioned. Arrangements have been made with other companies to run into this line from Sheffield. This company reserves the right to raise additional capital to extend the line to Leeds. Many of the above-mentioned mineral productions are essential to the mining districts of South Staffordshire and Sheffield. The North Staffordshire and Derbyshire Limestone is much superior to that of South Staffordshire in the fluxion of iron (15 cwt. of the former being equal to a ton of the latter), and producing a better quality of ma terial. At present, the mode of transit is very circuitous and expen sive, the line from the Callon Mines having to go by canal round by Etruria, Leek, and the Potteries, to the Dudley and surrounding furnaces, when, by this railway, it would be taken in a straight line to them ; and the Ashbourne, Cromford, Worksworth, and Bakewell country would have all entirely new trade opened to them. The iron stone in the neighbourhood of Sheffield is also becoming very scarce, and great quantities are introduced from Scotland; the same scarcity exists in South Staffordshire; and the route of this line would fur nish a cheap and good supply, at present not worked, and without a market, both north and south. In addition to these great advan tages, a good local market would be opened along the agricultural and other parts of the district at present very badly supplied with lime and coal, and that of an inferior quality, and by expensive car riage. It is, therefore, next to impossible to calculate the immense traffic which would pour down this line and the Derbyshire, Stafford shire, aed 'Worcestershire Junction Railway. The calculations which have been made show a very large Profit. There are large lead and slate quarries on the line whichlt o nly want an outlet like the one now contemplated to bring them full work. The coal is of a superior quality. There are also extensive barytes and p7ailient;znorekrys at of Ashbourne, Derbyshire Croinford, and other places on the line. Is the resort of vast numbers of tourists; aaien: not to interfere with orl particular care will be taken, in passing of the line near D 0,,,, es change its beautiful and ro mantic t e n i t m u r s a t e n te e r c . essa T ri h l e y atte a therefore, whlch this line will allot, lanax of passengers, both on business and pleasure. Ironstone is not so abundant in the South as in North Staffordshire, and vast quantities are sent by the tardy, circuitous, and expensive canal COM panY, w hich this and other Hoes of railway meet i ng at Uttoxeter will remedy. The gypsum ferination runs from Staffordshire to the Humber, and the demand for this article for building, agricultural, and manufac turing purposes along this line will be great. The timber from the neighbourhood of the Needwood Forest, Banks, Bagots Woods, and Kingston Woods, upwards of 4,000 acres, chiefly finds its way to the 'Manchester market by a like objectionable route of tardy and circuitous canal convey ance ; whereas this line would open a direct, easy, and cheap conununication to new markets. The line has been viewed prior to a detailed survey, and there are not more that; ordinary engineering difficulties.
