MIDLAND, BARNSLEY, DEWSBURY, LEEDS, AND BRADFORD, RAILWAY. Provisionally Registered. The object of this Line is to make a short and direct communica tion between Bradford, Cleckheaton, Heckmondwike, and Dewsbury, with Barnsley, Sheffield, and all intermediate places to London. By the present route from London, the Sheffield and Barnsley passengers and goods are brought by way of Normanton, a distance of 12% miles from Barnsley, and then either by Leeds to Bradford, a distance of at least 20 miles, or by the Leeds and Manchester Line to Brighouse, a distance of at least 20 miles, making the total distance from Barnsley to Bradford, by Leeds, 32 miles, and by the Manchester line, 42 miles. The distance from Dewsbury to Barnsley, by the present Railway. Is 22 miles. The _Dreninmoro or tuts une propose to cum mance this Railway by a junction with the North Midland line, at a point below Barnsley, to Barnsley, and from thence in a direct course to Dewsbury, reserving to themselves the power of making the line to Bradford through the Cleckheaton Valley, provided the West Riding Junction and West Yorkshire amalgamated Companies do not at the next session of Parliament apply to make that part of the line. The line at Dewsbury will make a junction with the Leeds and Dews bury Railway, West Riding Junction, and West Yorkshire Amalgamated Scheme, and the present Manchester and Leeds Rail way, at or near a place called Thornhill Lees, making the distance, as the crow files, to be as follows Barnsley to Bradford.. • • • ••• • • • 19 miles.

Virquain, the Belgian Engineer, extending from Landen, by Wavre and Tervueren, to Brussels, and from Landen, by Manage, to the French frontier. It will commence at Ihe town of Landen, on the Great State Railway, between Ostend And Cologne, and will pass by the towns of Jodoigne, Wavre, Genappe, .t 4 ivelles, and Seneffe, to Manage. It will have a branch from Nivel:es to Braine-le-Comte, which will connect it with the State Railway at the latter place, and thus com plete the communication westward with Tournay and Courtray. This line will be brought into inntaxliate connexion with the pro jected railways from Calais and linnicirk to Lille, by means of a railway from Tournay to Jurbise, the COWeesion of which was passed into a law during the last session of the ;le:glen Chambers; and by a new line from Manage to Erquelines, the law for which has also Passed, it will be connected with the proposed St. Quentin and Creil Railway, thus forming part of a direct communica: ion with Paris. A reference to the map will show the commandjug geographical position of this line; it will form the shortest, and coLsequently the cheapest, communication between the northern and north-Mstern provinces of France, and central and north-eastern Belgium on the one side, and eastern Holland and western Germany on the other. Its local edvanteges are not less conspicuous. It will traverse the mar., of Brabant, the metropolitan province of Belgium, which, according to the Government returns, contains the unusual number of 575 persons to a square mile, and is more highly cultivated, and pays a greater amount of taxes than any one of the nine provinces of this industrious and densely pnpulated country ; it will become the highway for the vast transit of passengers and goods between the provinces of Antwerp and Limbourg on the north-east, French Flan ders on the west, and Hainault on the south, which together contain more than three millions of inhabitants. It will touch the great coal districts of the south, which furnish three out of the four millions of tons, the gross produce of the coal pits of Belgium ; it will supply the Provinces of Brabant. Limboarg, and part of the Province of Antwerp, with the Picton Coal, Which is superior to any other in Belgium for household purposes, and will become the line of exportation of this commodity into Holland and Germany. It will convey from the great quarries of Arquennes to the populous districts of Louvain and to the country beyond, marble and the most esteemed description of building stone that is used iu Holland and Belgium, as well as the lime and lime-stone so much used in the latter country for agricultural and other purposes. From Brabant it will convey to the Manufacturing Districts of Hainault and to the Entre Sambre and Meuse, horses, cattle, and grain —to the North-Eastern provinces the Timber of the Eutre Sambre and Meuse and the iron of Charleroi—and to the Southern provinces a great proportion of the Deals imported at Antwerp. A large portion of the commercial traffic between France and Belgium, which amounts in value to upwards of five-and-a-half millions sterling per annum, is at present principally carried by land, and may therefore be fairly claimed for this central line. The , various intersecting lines which are now in course of formation throughout Belgium, particularly in Brabant, Flanders, and Hainault, will cause the present vast circulation of passengers and interchange of goods to be still further developed, warranting the anticipation of a large amount of profit, and thus placing this undertaking in the first class of permanent investments. A convention (to be ratified at the ensuing session of the Cham bers) has been concluded with the Belgian Govermnent, under which the Concessionaires are empowered to make the line above de scribed, and to hold It absolutely for the term of ninety years (to be computed from the period of its completion), without any power of redemption by the State, and free from all rates, taxes, and charges of every description. Under this Convention, a preference is also granted to the Conces sionaries for the execution of extensions from Wavre to Tervueren on the intended Direct State Line from Brussels to Louvain, and also from Manage to the French frontier. And it is stipulated that the conditions of the " Cahler des Charges," under which the works are to be constructed, shall be the same as those accorded to the West Flanders Railway Company, which are deemed highly favourable. It is now proposed to form a Company for the purpose of raising the capital necessary to carry out this Concession. The sum required will be 850,0001., or 21,250,000 francs, to be di vided into 42,500 Shares of 201. (500 francs) each, on which a deposit, or first instalment, 0121. 108. per Share will be payable on allotment, to provide the caution money, and pay the preliminary expenses, and the cost of the Concession. A second Instalment of 1/. 105. per Share will be required within one month after the passing of the law, and a third instalment of 21. within three months after the day fixed for payment of the second instalment. The other instalments, not ex ceeding 21. each per Share, will be required at intervals of not less than three months, and one month's notice 1%111 be given of each call. The sum of 850,0001. will be amply sufficient to complete the construction of the railway (including stations, locomotives, and other materiel) to defray the cost of the concession—to pay interest at 3 per cent. until the line is opened throughout—and generally to cover all outgoings usually chargeable upon capital. In the allotment of any new shares which may be created for carry ing out the extensions before referred to, the Shareholders in this Company will have the preference. The Company will be constituted a Societe Anonyme, and the liability of the Shareholders will be limited to the amount of their respective subscriptions. Notices of calls - will be given by advertisement into two daily London morning newspapers, and interest at the rate of 5 per cent, per annum win be charged on the amount of all calls in arrear ; and if a call remain unpaid beyond twenty-eight days, the share, or shares, will be subject to forfeiture. Shares will be transferable after three-tenths of the amount shall have been paid up. Shareholders, after full payment of the amount of their shares, will be entitled, on application, to receive certificates payable to bearer, which will pass without transfer, like Exehequer-bills. After the execution of the Acte de Societe, interest will be allowed at the rate of 31. per cent. per annum on the amounts paid on shares from the time of the several payments, up to the period of the open ing of the line throughout. It is to be understood that this undertaking will be managed by the Directors, and that every Shareholder will, by the payment of his deposit, signify his assent to invest them with full powers to settle with the Belgian Government the conditions of the law for the formation of the railway, and of the Acte de Societe constituting the Company. After the opening of the line the profits of the Company will be thus appropriated : A dividend of 51. per cent. will, as a first charge, be payable to the Shareholders. One quarter per cent. will next be transferred to a reserve or sinking fund, to be invested in English Government Securities, which will redeem the capital at the expiration of the lease. The surplus will then be divided into twenty parts, eighteen of which will be apportioned to the Share holders, and the remaining two reserved for the Concessionaries. During the construction of the railway the allowance to the Directors is fixed at 1,5001. per annum. After its completion the amount of their remuneration will be determined by the vote of a general meeting. An accountable receipt will be given to each Subscriber on pay ment of his deposit, which receipt must be exchanged for Certi ficates of Shares at the Office of the Company within thirty days after the first appearance of an advertisement requiring such exchange ; such advertisement to be inserted three times in each of two daily London morning newspapers. Non-compliance with this condition will subject Subscribers to the forfeiture of their deposits. Applications for Shares may be made to the Directors, at the temporary office of the Company, 53, Parliament-street; or through Messrs. Crowder and Maynard, the Solicitors of the Company, 57, Coleman-street, of whom prospectuses, with maps, and forms of ap plication, may be had ; and no application will be attended to unless made in the following form : FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. To the Directors of the Belgian Eastern Junction Railway. . . I request you will allot to me Shares of 20/. sterling (500 francs) each, in your proposed railway, and I agree to accept such Shares as shall be allotted to me, to pay the deposit theron, and to execute the " Acte de Societe," and any other necessary deeds, when required, and to conform in all respects to the statutes and regula tions of the Company.

THE DIRECT LONDON AND HOLYHEAD AND PORT DYNLLAEN RAILWAY. (Provisionally Registered). The public is reepectffilly informed that a Company is in course of formation for establishing a direct communication between London and Holyhead and London and Port Dynllaen, thereby effecting the shortest possible communication between London, Birmingham, and the centre of England, and Dublin and the wholeof•lreland. On reference to the Railway Map of Ireland it will be seen that most of the lines in that country converge either at Dublin or Wick low, the former being nearly in a direct line with Holyhead and the latter with Port Dynllaen. This undertaking will therefore unite in one main llna the whole of the Irish traffic to this country; and wh en the system of railway communication in Ireland is complete, will doubtless obtain a very large proportion of the American passenger traffic which will then pass by Port Dynllaen and Wicklow to Va lentia Bay as the nearest point to the United States and our North Ameriean colonies. The present line is in effect nearly identical with that recom mended by the Government Commissioners in their reports on the communication between London and Dublin, and whicb was then surveyed with much care ; making allowances, however, for the al tered circumstances that have since occurred by the increase of railways in this country, and availing itself as far as possible of ex isting or contemplated lines. It is intended to proceed by the London and Birmingham Railway to Birmingham, and thence by one of the now projected lines to Shrewsbury, or another course will be by the London and Birming ham, Trent Valley, Trent Valley and Shrewsbury Railways to the same point, where this railway commences, and proceeds in the most direct practicable course to a point near Balla, where the line forks ; one branch proceeding to Bangor, where it unites with the Chester and Holyhead and North Wales Railways, employing the former line to Holyhead, and thus avoiding the enormous expense entailed by crossing the Menai Starts; the other branch proceeding through a (Usti ict rich in slate, stone, minerals, &c., by Tremadoc to Port Dynllaen, where it will also unite with the North Wales Railway, which will prove a valuable adjunct to the present ptoject. The importance of the undertaking, not only to the great com panies to which it will prove so important a feeder, but also in a national point of view, as effecting a most considerable saving of time and expense on the route to Dublin and the coast of Ireland, are too great to be overrated, and too obvious to be required to be insisted upon. It is clear that the traffic must be unusually large, and from the surveys made there appears no doubt that the line can be constructed at an average cost. Full particulars, with the names of a most influential Provisional Committee, will be published as soon as a correct estimate of the requisite capital is obtained, and in the meantime no applications for shares can be received.

Protheroe, Esq., 10, Old Jewry-chambers,London This railway is intended to connect the South Wales Railway at Chepstow with Gloucester, Cheltenham, and Birmingham, with the projected Cheltenham, Oxford (and London direct), Gloucester, and Aberystwith, Northampton and Cheltenham, and Manchester and Southampton Railways ; thus forming an uninterrupted line of com munication from the South of Ireland, through Flshgard and Milford in Pembrokeshire, to Gloucester, Cheltenham, Oxford, and London direct, Southampton, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and the North of England, by a less circuitous route than can be effected by any of the projected plans for crossing the Severn below Gloucester, thereby avoiding the difficulties which must necessarily be encoun tered in such an undertaking, and affording the important towns and districts upon the intended lines that accommodation which their im portance entitles them to. The whole of the traffic upon the South Wales line passing to the Eastward of Chepstow will be carried on this line ; added to which the coal and mineral traffic from the Forest of Dean (which, from the Eastern side to Gloucester, has been estimated upon authentic documents and information, at upwards of 300,000 tons ; and from the Western or Lydney and Chepstow side the same amount of traffic may safely be calculated upon), amounting to 600,000 tons per an num (the produce of the Forest alone), must be carried upon the line, independent of the local passenger traffic and an extended trade in the produce of the Forest, which will necessarily follow the facilities offered by the proposed railroad. The revenue from this source alone will give a very handsome di vidend upon the capital to be expended, which is expected will not exceed throe-fourths of the intended capital. It is proposed to make branches to the Collieries and Iron Works in the Forest, to the present or any new Ports which may suggest themselves on the Severn; and to make the River Wye, at Chep stow, attendant tofupoanyn size navigation freest o w , f r t o h me the r t d o a f n feign g o e r rs an e d x d p ffi r t where o n of the Severn, consequent upon the rocks a nd shiftin g sands in that river. It is intended to build a bridge across t he Severn at Gloucester, which will in no way obstruct the navigation; and the p ro p osed Gloucester and Aberystwith Company will no doubt be ready to join this Company in the expense, if they obtain their Act. The cost of the intended line from Chepstow to Gloucester, including the bridge at Gloucester, and the one over the River Wye, at Chepstow, to join the South Wales, with branches to the Collieries, Iron Works, and the Severn, is not expected to exceed 450,0001., but it is intended to provide a capital of 600,0001. to meet any contingencies which may arise. A reference to the map will show the self-evident importance of this line as essential to the perfecting the great project of the South Wales Railway Company (who have obtained their Act of Parlia ment for a railroad from Fishguard and Milford Haven to Chepstow) n connecting it with the principal railways of the kingdonl, at Gloucester, and making it the direct road to Lcndon, via Cheltenham and Oxford, for effecting which projects are now before the public with most influential support. The line is twenty-six miles in length, has no engineering difficulties; the gradients and curves are extremely good, and works light. It may with very great confidence be asserted, that there is scarcely a short line of railroad in the kingdom which offers greater advantages to the Shareholders than the present. Pro vis'on will be made in the Act of Parliament which will be applied for in the next Session to limit the liability of the Shareholder to the amount of his Shares, and to allow four per cent. on the calls.

The main line will'commence from the London and Birmingham Railway, near Harrow, and passing to the north or ]Uxbridge, will proceed up the Valley by Chalfont, near Amersham and Chesham to Missenden and Wendover, and thence to Aylesbury ; from which place it will extend to Buckingham, and passing near Winslow, and approaching Brackley, will terminate by a Junction with the proposed Warwickshire and London Railway, near Banbury. In addition to the line above described, it is intended also to con struct a Railway Item the central station of the London and Bir mingham Railway at Wolverton to Buckingham, and thence through Bicester to Oxford; and in connexion with the line here proposed, the Bedford, and London and Birmingham Company, intend to make a connecting line between Bedford and Wolverton. The proposed Buckingham and London and Birmingham Railway Company (for the construction of a line from Wolverton to Blcester) is amalgamated with this Company. Accurate surveys of the country have been taken by Mr. Robert Stephenson, and it has been ascertained that no engineering difficulty of importance presents itself. The undertaking has already received the sanction and support of a very largo proportion of the Nobility, Gentry, and Proprietors of land through or near whose property it is intended to pats. It is proposed that these lines should be made with the co-operation, and under the direction and superintendence of the London and Birmingham Railway Company; under a lease, in perpetuity, at four per cent. per annum on the outlay, with a conditional arrange ment as to the surplus profits. It is intended to offer the shares in such proportion as the amount of capital will allow of, to the holders of shares in the London, Worcester and South Staffordshire Railway Company, subject to the approbation of the Committee of Management, with the exception of such as may be required for parties having local interests.

The promoters of this Railway, encouraged by the favourable sup port which has been given to the project, and in compliance with various recommendations they have received, hare determined upon the addition of a branch to Birkenhead, which, although it will manifestly tend to the advantage of the Shareholders and the public, will be attended with comparatively little additional outlay. The project will still retain its chief characteristic of a direct railway, and by its connexion, near Warrington, with the Grand Junction Company, is sufficiently comprehensive, without resorting to a com plicated system of branch lines, or materially conflicting with the in terests of existing companies. The line will commence at the city of Chester, and proceed by way of Trafford, Frodsham, and Preston Brook, to Warrington, thence by Lymm and Stretford direct to Manchester. From a point on the main line, near Frodsham, a branch will be taken to join the Chester and Birkenhead Railway, so as to unite Manchester in the most direct manner possible, with the docks now being formed at Bir kenhead. As Manchester, from its geographical position, is the centre of rail way communication between Scotland and the most populous dis tricts of England, so Chester, from a like cause, is the great centre of railway communication between the capitals of Ireland and of Eng land. To connect these two points by a direct and independent line of railway must, therefore, be of the utmost importance, not only in a local point of view, but to the whole commercial intercourse of the country. _ _ This - line will be the most direct route, by Holyhead, to Ireland, and will be, in all respects, by far the preferable channel of Inter course and transit between Ireland and the great manufacturing dis tricts of England. By the railways connecting Chester with Wrex ham, Oswestry, Shrewsbury, Hereford, Gloucester, and South Wales, this will be the nearest route from Manchester to the south western parts of England, and to the minerals of Monmouth and Glamorganshire. The communication with Bristol, Gloucester, and Exeter will be speedy and direct. On reference to the map, it will be seen that a very considerable distance will be saved by this line, as compared with the present circuitous routes by Crewe and by Birkenhead; the former being 52 miles, and the latter 46 miles, while the proposed line is only 34 miles, saving in the one case 18 miles, and in the other 12 miles, besides the serious inconvenience, loss of time, and expense of passing through Liverpool, and crossing the water at that place. It is confidently expected that this line will be the precursor of another scheme, of no ordinary importance—namely, to render 'hester an efficient port for large vessels. This subject was entertained by Sir John Rennie in 1835, and sub sequently, in the same year, by the late Mr. Chapman, who wrote an able report upon the capabilities of the river Dee. It was again nvestigated, in 1837, by Sir John Rennie and Mr. George Remington, and the practicability of forming a good navigable channel for vessels of large burden, together with-docks at Chester, was then thlly and clearly established. The entrance channel would commence at Dawpool. which is easy of access (and infinitely preferab'e, in point of access and safety, to the docks at Liverpool or Birkenhead), for vessels of large burden, during eight hours every tide, both at springs and neaps ; and the till of the lock would be sufficiently low to admit vessels drawing 20 feet water to enter at all tides. This railway, therefore, in connexion with the proposed docks, will render to Chester and Manchester incalculable advantages. To the former it will restore the proper position natural to so important a city ; to the latter it will give another outlet, by sea, to the ma nufacturing districts, free of the heavy port charges, dues, and risks to which the produce is now subject. It has not been thought advisable to combine the two objects in one company at present, bat should it be found requisite, the two may hereafter be amalga mated. . Merits of no ordinary degree, therefore, may fairly be claimed ibr this railway, whether taken in connexion with the proposed docks, eras standing alone, combining as it does all the advantages of any other lines, with this great addition, that it will be the high road to the most convenient outport of Manchester, and will be quite inde pendent of any associations or influences that might tend to oppose the growing desire for a means of direct and independent communi cation between Manchester and the port of Chester. The line has been carefully examined. There are no difficult earth-works to be encountered ; on the contrary it will be cheap, and of easy formation. Power is reserved to the Committee to de viate from the proposed line in the vicinity of Manchester, should ulterior arrangements render it expedient.

THE RISE and PROGRESS of the HYGEIAN or MORISONIAN SYSTEM of MEDICINE. Messrs. MORISON, of the British College of Health, New-roads London, consider that there cannot be a stronger proof of the rise and progress of the Morisonian System than the number of vege table purgative pills which we see daily advertised under different names in the newspapers, all of which proceed upon that system. The followirr , extract of a letter just received from Mr. William Willis, of Winchcomb, Gloucestershire, Messrs. Morison's agent for that place, shows at once the importance of the question at issue be tween Hygeists and Doctors : " I must now say that I feel exceedingly happy in being able to testify to the efficacy of the Universal Medicine ; it has done that in Winchcomb which the diplomaed doctors, under the organic theory, could not do ; it has fetched a man out of the union workhouse, and sent him to provide for himself with his own hands. The disease under which he was suffering was the Evil. Atter taking pills and powders to the amount of 11. 10s. 13d., he was enabled to go forth and seek his own livelihood. You may ask how did he get them? I can tell you ; I never had anything for them. But for this I care not ; my object in becoming your agent is, not that I may get gain, but to establish a system which I believe to be founded in truth — truth always did stand, and always will. (Signed) " WILLIAM WILLIS, Hygeist, " Aug. 19, 1845. but no Doctor." Messrs. Morison deem it their duty to inform the public, that Sir James Graham's Bill recognises, to its ffillest extent, the medical liberty of the subject, and is quite against the principle of doctors making a trade of their medical advice. On this ground, therefore, Sir James deserves the support of all true llygeists. A BATCH OF ONE POUND NOTES.—On Friday, 632!. was paid into the Bank in one pound notes by the trus. tees to the will of James Satcherley, an old man (a beggar ), who died in a cellar in Shadwell some weeks back. After his decease the above notes, together with other moneys, were found concealed, with a species of will, in a cupboard. The notes must have been hoarded many years. DEPLORABLE SUICIDE. While the Dundee steamer was on its passage from that place to Edinburgh, on Thursday last, a woman on board suddenly took off her bonnet and shoes, and before anybody was aware of her intention jumped overboard. The captain immediately stopped and put about the steamer, but the unfortunate woman had sunk and was seen ne more. The name "Margaret Miller" was in scribed on the inside of her shoes.—Edinburgh Evening Post.
