The distance between Nottingham and Yarmouth by the pro posed extension will be as short as by the Lynn and Dereham and Lynn and Ely lines, while the traffic to and from the north, from the central, west, and south parts of Norfolk, the north of Cambridge shire, and the counties of Suffolk and Essex; will be secured for the united undertaking. The Extension Line will be made by the two Companies jointly, and the shares will be apportioned amongst the respective share holders of each. It is intended that the Norfolk and Grand Union Companies should guarantee four per cent dividend, with a division of profits to the shareholders of the new line. The direction will consist of an equal number of gentlemen from the Norfolk and Grand Union boards, and Mr. Robert Stephenson will co-operate with Mr. Vignoles as engineer of the line.

Parratt and Walmsley, Pease yard, Westminster While two gigantic projects are struggling for victory, which, if obtained, would inevitably prove fruitless, the dense and wealthy population between Lincoln and York, and between Lincoln and Leeds, are left unsupplied with railway accommodation. Not less ambitious of accomplishing a great public benefit, the projectors of the Lincoln, York, and Leeds Junction Railway have adopted Lin coln (with 30,000 inhabitants), York (with 40,000), and Leeds (with 152,000), as the termini of their line; and, calculating upon the ulti mate success of the Cambridge and Lincoln Bill Ia the ensuing ses sion of Parliament, propose to complete the whole line of rail from London to York and Leeds by the execution of this design. Leaving Lincoln, the proposed line will be taken by Saxelby and Lea to Gainsborough, where it will cross the Trent, and thence to Haxey-gate, whence a branch will issue to Doncaster. At this lat ter place a communication will be formed with projected lines (ruin Manchester and Sheffield to the port of Goole ; and by this arrange ment a communication will be opened with the inexhaustible coal fields of Elsecar and Silltstone—a species not inferior to that of Dur ham and Sunderland—as well as with the limestone quarries at Warmsworth, so valuable for building purposes. Proceeding to Thorne, the line reaches Snaith, and, continuing its direct course westward to Selby, near to which it is crossed by the Hull and Selby Railway, will have its northern terminus at the city of York. At Thorne, or some convenient point near to it, an auxiliary line will emanate from the main trunk to Askern, and either by means of the proposed branch to the Wakefield, Pontefract and Goole line to that place, or by an independent course, as may hereafter be deter mined upon, will run through Pontefract direct to Leeds. By this means the whole of the manufacturing districts of the West Riding of Yorkshire and Lancashire will be Tendered easily accessible. This line will be the shortest between Lincoln and York ; Lincoln and Leeds ; Lincoln and Selby ; York and Selby ; and York and 7he gradients throughout the line are so favourable, that none exceed 5% feet in the mile, an instance unparalleled, if the length of it be taken into consideration. There will be no tunnels ; the works will everywhere be light ; no invasion of ornamental property is neces sary; and the local interests have expressed themselves favourable to the project. Frei' the combination of advantages, facilities, and patronage from the great breadth of new country to be supplied with railway accommodation—moderate post of labour on the line—enormous supply of materials, and encouragteg truffle returns—an interest of ten per MIL on vested capital is penfidently expected, exclusive of a fair allowance for working expenses. Power will be taken In the Bill to allow interest at the rate of four per cent. on all deposits. The Plans and sections of the Lincoln, York, and Leeds Company, being now in the possession of the promoters of this Company, an Immense saving of expense will thereby be gained.

The Importance of connecting remote parts of England by Rail ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns and districts, can scarcely be better exemplified than bathe Line which is how proposed to form a short and direct channel of inter course between Oxford and Salisbury. Numerous projected lines now before the public will make Oxford at the north, and Salisbury at the south of the intended Railroad the central points from which various radii will diverge to the north-west, north, and north-east of the former, and to the east, south, and west of the latter; and the proposed Line from Cambridge to Oxford, continuing to that city the course of Railway from the north-eastern parts of the island, requires the appliance now suggested to effect a complete means of transit to the western and south-western counties. The Oxford and Salisbury Direct Railway, in addition to the benefits which will he conferred upon the nation at large, by preferring a direct line of communtcation be tween the north-eastern and western and south-western parts of England, will afford to the borouih of Abingdon, the market towns of Vantage, Hungerford, and Ludgershall, and the adjacent villages, an important railway accommodation, of which the agricultural districts in which they are seated stand in much need, and will provide a facility for the interchange of produce be tween the rural, manufacturing, and commercial population of the kingdom. The want of railway accommodation has long been felt to press unfairly upon the inhabitants of the important and thriving town of Abingdon. Their means and opportunities of competing with the more fortunate traders of those towns which are already provided with di rect channels of transit, are thus severely crippled. The same remark applies in some degree to the market town of %Vantage, which, as well as Hungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits and advantages produced by railway traffic. It has therefore been determined to commence the proposedli ne at Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdo n to the station of the Great Western Railway at Steventon, thus giving to Abingdon a direct rail road to London. By continuing the projected railway to IVantage, the same facility of transit to London will be afforded to that place ; and a perfect line of road from the north-eastern counties will, by a junc tion with the projection from Cambridge to Oxford, be produced, through the towns which have been named, Hungerford and Ludgers hall to Salisbury, and thence to the south and western ports and dis tricts. A map of the line, and a statistical report of the whole country intencloti 1.9 be traversed, is in course of preparation, and with the names of an fefluential provisional Committee, will very shortly be published. In th e mean ti me, h ir i*i; information may be ob tained from Messrs. Elmslte and .

Weymouth—Gtorge Arden, H.q. Bridport—E. Nicholetts, Esq. Sidmouth—Edwin Church Everitt, Esq. This railway is intended to commence at the east part of the city of Exeter, neat St. Sidwells, and after passing through Topsham, with a fork at Woodbury by Lympetone to Exmouth, will proceed, in an easterly direction, towards Sidmouth, and thence, near Colyton, Beer, Seaton, Axmouth, Lyme Regis, and Charmouth, to Bridport. At Bridport the line will divide, taking the course direct to Dor chester, to join the Southampton and Dorchester Railway, and the other, passing near Bridport harbour and Abbotsbury to Weymouth. At Exeter, junctions will be formed with the Bristol and Exeter and North Devon Railways, and at Exmouth with the South Devon, by means of their steam ferry, thus making the most direct route to Plymouth from London. Also at Dorchester and Weymouth it will be connected with the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, as well as with the Dorchester and Southampton at Dorchester. It will be seen, on reference to the map, that by forming a junc tion with the lines of coast railway that have already been con structed or commenced from Exeter westward, and from Dorchester eastward, and by following the coast as nearly as is practicable be tween its termini, this line will effectually complete a railway com munication from Dover to the Land's End, an undertaking in itself ofgreat national importance, and likely to meet with the cordial sup .port of the Government. In fixing the course which this Railway will take, It has been the careful consideration if. the Promoters to project only such a Line as will afford the greatest facility of communication to the populous and important towns and fashionable watering places which are situated on and near that part of the Coast which this Railway is particu larly meant to accommodate ; whilst, at the earn. time, the Agri cultural, Manufacturing, and Commercial Interests of this part of the Kingdom have been equally studied. This Line will also open such additional means of communication to the Port of Weymouth, the large Manufacturing Town and Har bour of Bridport, and the Harbour of Lyme Regis, as 'must even tually replace them in that high position, when compared with the other Ports of the Kingdom, which they formerly held. The Water ing Places of Exmouth, Budleigh-Salterton, Shimouth, Charmouth, Lyme-Regis, Weymouth, &c., will be thus thrown open to every part of England and Wales, and accommodated with that facility of ac cess which they alone require to place them on an equal position with other favourite places of resort, for which the picturesque In land and bold Coast-Scenery of Devonshire and Dorsetshire is pre eminently proverbial, and justly entitles them to hold. The following extract from the Report of the Select Committee of the House of Lords on the " Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Rail way," made on the 18th of June, 1845, will show the sense enter tained by that body of the importance of a line of railway in the di rection proposed by the present Company :—" In making their re port, the Committee feel it their duty to state that the great diffi culty with them, in deciding on the Bill referred to them, had arisen from the fear they entertained whether, in allowing the Great Western Railway to come down to the sea at Weymouth, or even be low Yeovil, they might not be creating a difficulty as to making a railway in the most desirable manner to Falmouth, the most westerly port in the Channel."

This railway is Intended to commence at or near Buckfastleigh, and to join the South Devon Railway at Ford, near Newton ; dis tance, ten miles. This railway, by forming a direct communication with the great trunk line of the county, will open for the manufacturing towns of Ashburton and jluckfastleigh, and the adjacent agricultural district, the readiest access to the ports of Teignmouth and Torquay, and to the important and increasing markets which these towns and the other watering places on the south coast, as well as Newton, present for the disposal of all kinds of agricultural produce. Ashburton and the surrounding district, rich in mineral wealth, only require a cheap and easy mode of transit to unfold their trea sures, which have hitherto been raised only sparingly, in conse quence of the expense of land carriage. Within the average distance of two miles of Ashburton are thirteen lime kilns, at which are now burnt annually above 10,000 hogsheads of lime. Five s'ate quarries, in some of which the slate is of the best quality, and has received the approval of some of the first London architects. And within the district which would derive benefit from this railroad, are six tin and copper mines in work, and three more are now about to be worked. The manufactured goods of Ashburton and the adjacent district are of very considerable value—the woollen manufacture alone gives em ployment to nearly 3,000 persons. Large quantities of timber are annually felled and sent to the -sea coast, from the wooded district at the back of Ashburton. It has been ascertained that the number of persons travelling from this district to and from the east of Ashburton, amounts to about one thousand weekly. The romantic scenery of the Dart, near Ashburton, now attracts yearly a great influx of visitors. The opening of this railway would, by bringing the banks of the Dart within easy access of Exeter, and all the watering places on the southern coast, doubtless much increase The great importance of this railway may be further estimated, from a consideration of the fact that the local population which would be benefited by its construction exceeds two hundred thousand persons. And also that Weymouth, which will be one of the termini of the line, is about to become a great National Harbour of Refuge and Packet-station, by the construction of a breakwater in Portland Roads, in accordance with the recommendation of the Government Commissioners, for which purpose a grant was made during the last session of Parliament for commencing the works. The additional population and traffic, which will thus be attracted to this port, will be very considerable. _ A preliminary survey has been made, and there are no peculiar engineering difficulties. The length of the main line, from Exeter to Dorchester, will be about flfty-two miles; and of the Forks, or exten sions, to Weymouth, and Exmouth, about sixteen miles ; making, In the whole, sixty-eight miles of railway. The sentiments of the landowners are favourable to the construc tion of a railway calculated, as this is, very greatly to benefit their properties, and in the allotment of shares preference will be given to the applications of persons locally interested. the number. To the manufacturer and merchant, the formation of this railway would afford a great boon, by establishing a cheap and easy t rans it for their goods; to the agriculturist, the saving of one -seventh in the present price of lime would offer a manifest advantage; and on the inhabitants of the district generally great benefit would be conferred by the reduction of at least 251. per cent. in the price of coal and other articles. The Provisional Committee, after careful inquiries as to the antici pated traffic, have reason to believe that the net return will pay a handsome rate of interest on the capital required. The population of the district to be benefited by this railway is above 16,000 The line presents no engineering difficulties. • The Directots of the South Devon Railway Company with the authority of a general meeting of their Proprietors, have agreed to take shares to a considerable amount, and are acting in cordial co operation with the Provisional Committee. Th e arrangements with the South Devon Beard embrace a pro v i sion f or leasing the line on its completion to that Company, an d p rovide for the supervision of the planning and construction of the li n e b y Mr . Brunel. The advantages of attracting to this undertaking the i mpor t ant combination of interests represented by the South Devon Company and its numerous alliances will be readily appreciated. Power will be sought by the Act of Incorporation to allow interest at 41. per cent. per annum on all deposits and calls from the time of payment until the opening of the line. No liability will be incurred by any Shareholder beyond the amount of his shares. Applications for shares may be made to the Provisional Com mittee, at their office, East-street, Ashburton ; or to the Solicitors, Mr. Tucker, or Mr. George Canister, Ashburton ; or to the following Sharebrokers :—Messrs.

It appears that England will be di videdlongitudinally by four great lines of railway, which will become so manymain trunks, intersec leg and intersected by numerous lines, both transverse and o i tlique, opening rapid and ready oommunieation with the intermediate dis tricts, with packet stations, and with seaport towns. The more easterly of these, which is also the longest, originating at lieWellatie; upon-Tyne, and passing through York, Peterborough, and (ambridgo, may be said to terminate in London, whence all places are accessible. The second line, counting west Ward, is more tortuous, and has also a common northern terminus with the preceding, by which its ad vantages are materially restricted. This line, descending the Ere- Wash Yale, and passing through Rugby and Oxford, becomes a South, ampton line by falling into the South-Western Railway at Basing stoke. The third longitudinal line, or the most westerly, is OW more de fective in design than the preceding; employing the steep and narrow T aih viiY COO Ow Illrraingham and Woumster as its first link, it tweiies uorly tp a riiitt hue the least povulous and most undulating Ni. 16,571.

A large longitudinal section of the kingdom—the West Midland district—a district inviting a similar species of accommodation from concentrated local advantages, still remains unprovided with a chief trunk line ; and it is contemplated to remedy this deficiency by the ➢resent undertaking, or a fourth longitudinal line. Adopting Birmingham as a northern terminus of the West Mid land, Manchester, and Southampton Hallway, it is proposed to carry a line through or near to Stratford-on-Avon, thence between Moreton, Stew, Nerthleach, Fairford; Cricklade, and Swindon, where it will merge in the South and Midlands' Junction Railway. The length of the proposed line will be about sixty mile•, and the district traversed by it is gently undulating and densely peopled. At its southern terminus, Swindon, it becomes identical with tha South and Midlands, by means of which it opens a most direct communica tion hitherto suggested with the harbours of Weymouth, Christ . church, Poole, and S - attliampton. At its northern terminus, Illr- Ingham. it communicates with a series of lines, projected, in pro gress, or completed, which will form the most direct line that can ever probably be constructed between the southern ports of England and the great manufacturing districts. In the alliance of lines forming the West Midland, Manchester and Southampton Railway project, a combination of advantages pre sents itself—the result of a design, to a great extent, but of contin gencies also. If it be desirab!e that the terminus of every railway should be situated at some commercial or populous place, iu this re spect the present project is peculiarly fortunate. If Government be resolved on countenancing the shortest and most direct lines, it will be seen, by laying a rule on the map of England from Salisbury to Manchester, that a course due north and south between th,se places will pass very nearly through the towns mentioned in this prospectus, as being on the proposed line ; and actual measurement has shown this line to be the shortest between Southampton and Manchester by 2G miles. . By the construction, therefore, of little more than GO miles of rail, as here proposed, the shortest, moat direct, and convenient communication between Manchester and Southampton will be es tablished —a line, also, however superior in moitiou to others pro mising similar advantages, may yet be considered as competing with none, but as an independent work, originating at Birmingham and terminating In the seaports of Weymouth, Christchurch, l'oole, and Southampton.

The present Company has been formed for the construction of a line of railway from Madrid to the city and port of Valencia, the mist central seaport on the Mediterranean. It will open out the re sources of an extensive district of country, eastward from the capital, remarkable for the richness and fertility of its soil, the varied abun dance of its production., and the commercial spirit of its inhabitants. empowered o ain t oute ot ihf, ee This Qr Le, r ie a t ! intercommunicationwl o w oft a sh y cp fa all tei; u i e t e. l do n a rlf b , t privilege,st' wsen a i s :3: fete company. sini importance ach, ple s ased g f it tsoah l tit accompany toe r hee, °arnolu Majesty iwi; ics n is be enumerated 1. A lease of the line and of its branches for 99 years. 2. The gratuitous grant of such Government and corporation lands as may be required for the railway. 3. The free use of all timber, the property of the state, that may be necessary for the works, or for other purposes. 4. The exemption for ten years, to be computed from the com mencement of the works, of all import duties on the machinery, rails, and other articles requisite for the completion of the railway. 5. The entire exemption from all national and local taxes that could otherwise be levied upon the railway, works, or buildings of any description, and upon the capital represented by the shares. 6. The Government is not to interfere with the Company's tariff of charges for the space of forty years from the completion of the works ; and no revision thereof is to take place on the expiration of that period that can sink the profits below 15 per cent. 7. The line is to be classed, by a special law, under the title of A " work of public utility," and as such to enjoy the royal patronage and protection, and all the peculiar privileges attached to important national undertakings. The proposed line, thus largely endowed, is about 240 miles in length, being upwards of 150 miles nearer the capital than the ports of Cadiz and the north coast of Spain, and generally nearer than any other port in the kingdom. Although it has not yet been minutely surveyed, it is well known that there is no similar district of equal extent in the kingdom which presents so few engineering difficulties. Fur upwards of 80 miles the line will traverse the almost level plain of and emerging from the bo un d ar i es of the province, it will 'lei follow as nearly as possible the course of the rivers which flow east and west from the eentral plateau in the province of Cuenca. and approach Madrid by the valley of the Manzanares. The lin♦ will either pass through or accommodate the most important towns in the two provinces, which will thus he brought into rapid Com munication with the capital on the one side, a seaport on the other. This railway will be the means of supplying Madrid, containi ng 300,000 inhabitants, entirely dependent for provisions upon the con tiguous provinces, at a cheap rate, with the rich products of the pro vinces of Valencia, which abounds in most valuable mines, and is beyond comparison the most fertile district of Spain. Valencia, brought by this communication within ten hours' dis tance of the chief market of Spain, must necessarily become the port at which all vessels with supplies for the metropolis will unload. and the centre of the coasting trade along the whole sea-line from Barcelona to Gibraltar. The traffic in passengers and goods now existing between Madrid and Valencia has been correctly ascertained, showing the following results : The annual number of passengers travelling between Madrid and Valencia, and the intermediate towns, is • - upwards of 42,000 ; but taking that number at the present cost of conveyance by stage coaches, private carriages, mg, eighta e r as, of and goods The annualconveyed e be a t ir e, n wag co g n o v n e s y , from which the return is estimated at cities and the intermediate localities is 4,900.002 ern ,•• cutthe'lltwbe) £67,800 1,223,400 X 1,291,500 Assuming that two•fifths only of the existing charges become a source of revenue to the railway, and that the tariff be reduced considerably below the State tariff of Belgium, there will be deducted . • , 752,320 ---- Remains • • • • • • .g 53 ,880 Supposing that the present tratßc will only be doubled by the railway, although experience has proved the increase to be equal to 300 and 400 per cent., there will be added ..
