This Company is formed for establishing works for the manufacture of rails and merchant iron. _ _ _ The Provisional Committee have succeeded in securing for the Company productive coat and iron mines in actual operation, and a large extent of valuable mineral property, on which there is a fur nace erected, which will be in blast in two months. These properties are situated in the midst of ironworks, which are in the highest state of prosperity. At the present cost of raising the minerals, rails and bar iron can be manufactured, at the proposed works, for 4/. ss. per ton, or less ; and there can be no doubt that the iron trade will long remain in its present prosperous condition from the number of railroads now in execution and projected—the profits, therefore, of the proposed Company must be enormous. There is, in fact, every probability that the present healthy state of the iron trade will long continue, and for the reason, that the old mineral districts of Great Britain are not capable of increasing their productions to any considerable extent, many of the celebrated mines in Stafforishire being nearly exhauste ; added to this, iron is now so largely applied, not only for railroads, but also to building, to naval architecture, and to such numerous other purposes, that it appears certain many years must elapse before the supply of iron can exceed the demand. At the present time, although the orders for the railroads, for which Bills have been obtained, and those for the foreign raiiroads now in execution, have not c , ane into the market, yet all the large stocks of iron have been consumed. _ The price of merchant iron is now firm at St. per ton, and when it is considered that every twelve miles of the ordinary railroad, or eight miles of that on the atmospheric system, will absorb mote than one blast furnace will produce in a year, it may be fairly estimated thst there will be a further and extensive rise in the price of that metal. _ _ The Committee have pleasure in stating, that such is the confidence of the vendors in the undertaking that they have signified their in tention of connecting themselves with this Company by taking, in shares, a considerable amount of the purchase-money. The Provisional Committee refrain from giving any particular es timate of profits, as such must, in a great degree, depend on the state ethe iron trade; from reports of the engineers and mineral surveyors, however, it would appear that should the price of rails fall, even as low as five guineas per ton, yet a profit of 12 per cent. might still be relied on. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The Company will be registered under the Joint-Stock Registra tion Act, which virtually limits the liability of each shareholder to the amount of his shares. The first call of 21 , after the legal deposit, will be payable imme diately on the complete registration of the Company in conformity with 7th and Bth Vic., cap. 110. It is not anticipated that more than 101. per share will be required, and no calls will be made at shorter intervals than four months, and in sums not exceeding 21. per share. The plans of the property and the reports of the engineers and mineral sarverors may be examined at the Offices of the Company.

D UDLEY and BIRMINGHAM JUNCTION RAILWAY, Combining the broad and narrow gauges, in continuation of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line. Capital 200,0001., in 10,1,00 Shares of 20/. each. Deposit 2/. 10s. per Share. (Provisionally Registered.) This line will commence at the station of tl;e Oxford, Worcester. and Wolverhampton Railway, at Dudley, and run into the line of the Grand Junction Company near to Birmingham. It will traverse or pass in the immediate vicinity of the following populous manu facturing towns and places, v;z., Great Bridge, Swan..-Village, Old bury, West Bromwich, Handsworth, and Smethwick, and in its course it . v.ol afford railway accommodation to a manufacturing and mining .Ropulation of upwards of a quarter of a million. -- The names of the places of the proposed termini, and the above indication of the course orthe,, intended line, must abundantly sa tisfy every one that it presents the certainty of a lucrative traffic both in goods and in passengers. It is almost unnecessary to speak further of so plain a necessity as that of railway accommodation for such a district. The wonder would be that the proposed line had not been esta blished long before, were it not for one very obvious and very poten tial reason to which it is owing that this rich district has hitherto been suffered to remain destitute of railway accommodation. The district has been up to this time deprived of the benefits of railway means of transit because it was one of the richest farms of the Birmingham Canal Company ; and it is to overcome the depressing influence of such a destitution that the present plan has been pro jected. The intended line will not interfere with any existing line of railway, but it will materially extend the usefulness of the several lines about to be connected with Dudley, and in particular that great mining district trunk line, the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver hampton Railway, as also the Shrewsbury and South Staffordshire Junction; besides, it will afford to the populous districts around Dudley and Birmingham the direct benefits of fair and liberal com petition in passenger conveyance and in the transit of their industrial products to their principal market. The number of omnibuses, coaches, and swift canal packet-boats continually travelling between the termini, afford the strongest as surance of the prospect of a lar, e passenger traffic : while the bulky nature and vast extent of the mining and manufacturing produce of this well-known district equally vouch for that in goods ; and the whole leaves no doubt but that the financial returns of such an un dertaking must yield an ample remuneration for the capital ex pended. In an engineering point of view, it has been ascertained, by careful surveys, that the line is highly favourable, and presents not the slightest difficulty, so that altogether there is probably no like of rail way now before the public so much entitled in every way to the favourable consideration of the parties locally interested, or of capitalists in general. The former have alreauy evinced the warmest I interest in the proposed line ; and indeed it is mainly - owing to I urgent local suggestions that the projected railway has been under taken. No further call (beyond the deposit) will be made until the Act shall be obtained ; and power will be applied for in such Act to allow interest at four per cent. per annum on the deposits and calls from the date of each payment until the opening of the line. An influential Provisional Committee will be published in a few days. Applications for shares will be received until the 14th instant, and may be addessed to Mr. F. T.

SECRETARY—Harry Burrard iarnall, Esq. The Provisional Committee of the North London Junction Rail way Company have great satisfaction In informing their subscribers that negotiations are now pending between the Provisional Commit tee of this Company and the Directors of the Railways north of the Thames of such a character as to assure them that the City terminus of this Company will form the Grand Terminus of all the City trail° north of London. To effect this important object, an area of 10 acres of grouad (the southern boundary of which is within 500 yards of the Bank of England) has been most carefully surveyed and valued, and the re port of the architect and engineer is of so favourable a character as to have induced the Provisional Committee to determine on purchasing the entire site, and it has, therefore, been resolved by them to in crease the capital of this Company to 1,300,0001. The Provisional Committee consider it of paramount importance to secure within the limits of their City terminus, the amplest and most complete accommodation for the traffic of each of the railway companies who may co-operate with them, an object which will be effected by opening the very extensive and valuable space of ground alluded to, within the centre of the City of London. In conjunction with this enlarged plan, it is intended to embrace that of a branch line to the present station of the Eastern Counties Railway in Shoreditch, which will effect an entire junction between the eastern and western parts of the metropolis ; and at the same time afford a direct communication between the whole of the rail•. ways, which reach London tothe north of the Thames, and give full development to each of their schemes by creating for them a common centre within the heart of the metropolis. Independently, therefore, of the almost incalculable local traffic which the position of their City terminus will ensure to this Com pany. will he added that of those companies also who will eventually 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 lithographie sketch now publishing will accurately define the entire district through 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 communication with the City ; while the dense popu lation of the City will enjoy a fad 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 thus : 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 which reach the City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,408 persons daily, half of whom pass to the West-end of London. The omnibus traffic daily is 30,894 passengers, two-thirds of which may be given to the City. Passengers from the suburban districts reaching the City, now un accommodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily. From these sources the following products are derived:— Per Ann. Passengers from the Great Western and Birmingham Rail- way, at 6d. each.... ........ •• • • •• . Passengers from the Eastern Counties to the City terminus of this Company, at 3d. each . • • • • • • • .• • • • • .. • ..... 12,961 Omnibus passengers' traffic, at 6d. each, as taken at present.... • .... ••••••.•••• • • • • • • • • • • • • • ........ 187,929 142,208 tons of goods and parcels pass annually ikons the Great Western and the London and Birmingham Rail ways into the City, at an average cost of carriage of 3s. 6d. per ton throughout.

CONSULTING ENGINEER—CharIes Fox, ENGINEERS. Elijah Galloway, Esq. James Bullivant Tomalin, Esq. This line will commence at a point on the Midland Counties Rail way, near Kegworth, and will proceed in a direct line to Nuneaton, and thus, by means of other projected lines, a direct communication will be formed between the important towns of Nottingham, Newark, and Lincoln on the one side, and Birmingham, Coventry, and War wick on the other ; and as there is no doubt the proposed rail way between Cheltenham and IVarwisk will be formed, a direct communication will thus be effected between the Severn at Glouces ter, and the Humber at Great Grimsby. At the same time, a rich mineral and . ; agricultural district will be supplied with railway ad vantages. The line will pass through a very productive district, intersecting the Leicestershire coal-fields and limeworks, and will afford commu nication, north and south, to the Derbyshire potteries. With such an assured immediate and prospective amount of traffic, the profits on the small capital required cannot fail to be highly remunerative. In consequence of the lines in the coarse of formation, exclusive of those projected to Great Grimsby, that port will be rendered of the first importance, and it must be obvious that traffic from the district south-west of Warwick will be very great. The distance saved by the proposed line between Leamington, Warwick, Coventry, and Nottingham, will be about twenty miles ; and between Birmingham and Nottingham about six miles. As it is the shortest :route from Birmingham to Nottingham and Lincoln, it must secure the traffic from Birmingham to Notting ham, Newark, Lincoln, and the port of Great Grimsby ; and by com municating with the Erewash Valley Railway at Long Eaton, it must command the traffic from Coventry, Warwick, and the district south of those towns to Sheffield, Leeds, York, and the north of England generally. It will also afford a direct communication between Not tingham and the district bet, een Warwick and Worcester, by means of the projected Worcester, Warwick, and Rugby, and the Warwick and Worcester Railways. The entire length of ' the line will be about twenty-four miles. The Parliamentary surveys are now in active progress, and contracts have been entered into with eminent surveyors, which will insure ample time for a compliance with the standing orders. The engineer also reports the country to be free from all engineering difticulties, and to present unusual facilities for the formation of the line. The Committee having determined upon making provision for com pleting the whole line to Coventry, in case circumstances should ren der such a course expedient, have resolved to raise the capital to 550,0001., in 27,500 shares of 201. each. Any parties who may be desirous of withdrawing their applications in consequence of the above alterations in the project, must signify the same forthwith, otherwise the applicants for shares will be considered as acquiescing they n. Powers for albwance of interest at four per cent. en the paid-up capital will be taken, and the liability of shareholders limited to the amount of their subscriptions. TABLE OF DISTANCES.

One of its objects is the conversion of that canal into a railway (as far as it may be available), so as to give the most complete system of railway accommodation from Great Grimsby, Wainfleet, Horncastle, Louth, Lincoln, Gainsborough, Retford, and Worksop, to Sheffield, Rotherham, Chesterfield, Bakewell, Buxton, Stockport, Manchester, Liverpool, and Birkenhead; also the most direct communication from east to west, with Macclesfield, Congleton, Crewe, Chester, Bangor, and Ireland ; as well as nearly direct access to the Staffordshire Potteries and iron districts of North Staffordshire; also to Shrewsbury and North and South Wales. Southward, it will give a good communication to Derby, Birmingham, Droitwich, Chel tenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and Southampton. This line will commence at Lincoln, and go nearly direct to East Retford, Worksop, and Chesterfield, where it it will join the Mid land Railway, the Chesterfield and Sheffield Pailway, and also the proposed North Derbyshire lines, which proceed direct to Manchester and Liverpool, and North Staffordshire. In length it will be about 56 miles. A section of the line will commence at Gainsborough, and join the main line at East Retford : a branch will be made from Worksop to join the Midland near Beighton, so as to give railway accommoda tion to Rotherham and the nortern districts. This branch will take the course of the Chesterfield Canal, which it is proposed to use in its construction. A glance at the map will at once show the importance of this national undertaking. In connexion with other lines it will form the most direct and valuable trunk line from east to west than has yet been offered for public support ; it will join together nearly by a direct route the most important manufactur ng towns of Lancashire and North Staffordshire, with the rich corn-growing districts of Lin coln and Nottinghamshire, and will give to the rising ports of Great Grimsby and Wainileet a most perfect access from nearly all the great manufacturing districts of the west.

It win offer a great advantage to the public from its union with the Chesterfield Canal, tensive local accommodation, by affording many more points of con tact with the consumer. It is thought unnecessary to present any detailed estimate of traffic, as it must be obvious from the :above outline of the objects to be accomplished, and the rich, populous, and productive agricul tural and manufacturing districts to be traversed and connected, and the extent of inexhaustible coal-fields and lime and stone quarries in the Immediate neighbourhood of the line, that the project presents a most advantageous investment for capital, and will afford an ample remuneration to the shareholders ; in proof of which reference may de made te the printed yearly accounts of the Chesterfield Canal Company, which for an average of 10 years, commencing in 1834, show a dividend of above 9/. ger cent. per annum. Independently, however, of the local traffic, the through traffic between the ports on the east coast, and the various districts to the west, and the exports and imports which will be conveyed, cannot fail to be most productive, and to give the shareholders a good retit for the outlay of their capital. which this To the inhabitants of the various towns and districts line traverses a complete system of railway calledforth a accommodationspon will be g ta is i ie eo n , ; is and offe t r l i o e f s bare upp mentionsupport from theof almost pervoeje A general survey of the line h as already been tions have been given for the necessaryground surveys, with a view session of obtaining an Act in the en suin g of Parliament, and such surveys are in so forward a sta te as to preclude the possibility of dis appointment.

The line will proceed thence through or near to Whitworth and Rossendale, and fall into the East Lancashire Railway, in the vicinity of Ilaslingden. A branch will be thrown out of the trunk line, from the Junction with the East Lancashire line near Haslingden, by Low-Moor iron works and Bacup, to Todmorden. The Erewash Extension will be the only direct route from the centre manufactu ~ centre of Derbyshire to the great rin g towns and chief seaports of Lancashire. It will traverse a valley district adorned with the most picturesque scenery, and, at the same time, rich in mineral produce. It wi 1 commanieftn, laterally, with several trunk lines ofrailway, and will be fed by no less than /lye working canals— the Cromford—the Manchester and Shdlldd—the Huddersfield—the Manchester and Leeds—and the Liverpool and Blackburn. To the multiplication of advantages which intersecting r a il ways and lines of still-water navigation are compelled to afford, the throw ing out of branches from the line itself in so many directions will add still further powers of accommodation, and, when the dense popula tion in the localities traversed is considered, there is every reason to conclude that an ample remuneration for vested capital will be ob tained. - By tbllowing the course of rivers, wilob, in ibis inatfuce, fail in .~ , , , 7 - :>>.,,. , ''''' f,'-t I ''',!.-.:"..'„.i4.4„,..zei;i1,,.-:. , . ------_ 7 /-- ' -.
