This line of Railway will commence at the junction of the Man. hester and Bir►>zingham, Chester and Crewe, - and Grand Junction Railways, at Crewe, in the county of Chester, and proceed from thence through or near the towns of Market Drayton, Newport, and Shiffnal, in Shropshire, thence through the flourishing town of Kid derminster, to Worcester and Tewkesbury, and to the Bristol Rail way at Gloucester. By this means it will form the most direct route from Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Hull, and Chester to the important ports of Gloucester and Bristol, indeed the most direct line from the north of England to the Bristol Channel. It will, also, in conjunction wtih the proposed Hereford and Worcester, and Swan sea, Merthyr-Tydvil, and Hereford Railways, form the inset advan tageous route from Swansea and the iron districts of South Wales, to Liverpool, Manchester, and Hull. The line will cross the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway at Shiffnal, and the Shropshire Mineral Railway and the Trent Valley Union at the thriving town of Newport. It will form a junction with the two latter railways at Newport, whereby persons and lug gage may be conveyed to Stafford, Derby, the Midland Counties, Staffordshire Potteries, Sheffield, and Hull ; and, in addition to the carriage of heavy goods from Bristol, Gloucester, Worcester, and Kidderminster, to Manchester, Liverpool, the whole of the north of England, and Scotland—will secure a large passenger traffic in the district through which it passes. The proposed railway will be about 87 miles in length, and be tween the two termini of Crewe and Gloucester, will save in distance at least 20 miles, and the journey can be accomplished, at the pre sent rapid rate of travelling, in about two hours. This project as a junction line, connects itself with some of the most important rail ways in the kingdom. It also skirts the large, extensive, and densely populated iron districts of Shropshire and Staffordshire, and in its course passes through a rich agricultural country. It must, there fore, be obvious that there will be a sufficient traffic to pay a high rate of interest on the capital required. There are no engineering difficulties in the country through which the line is Intended to pass, the whole being nearly on a level, and on reference to the map of country, taken from the Ordnance survey, which accompanies the prospectus, the line will appear straight, and will at the same time show the superior advantages it possesses, and that it cannot be surpassed by any existing or projected lines, between the same termini. It will not Interfere with any ornamental property, and no tunnel ling will be required. The liabilities of the Shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions, and interest will be allowed on the deposits and further calls, from the date of the several payments to the opening of the line. Prospeetuses, with Maps and Forms of Application for Shares, can be had from the Secretary on application at the temporary offices of the Company, 3, Abchurch-lane, London; from the Solicitors and Local Agents; also from the following Brokers, viz. :—Messrs.

TO SCR IPHOLDERS, In consequence of modifications of this lir;, rendered necessary by the decisions of Parliament in the late session, and of thc increase of the Parliamentary deposit required by tlre New Standing Orders, the Provisional Committee find it necessary to call in the scrip hitherto issued, for the purpose of replacing it by new scrip, to require an ad ditional deposit of I 2s. per share, and to cause new deeds to be pre pared for the signature of the Proprietors. Parties to whom scrip has been issued are accordingly requested to send in their scrip, on or before the first day of October next, to the Secretary. New letters of allotment will at once be issued to such of the present holders of scrip so sent in, as were original subscribers for their shares; but where the scrip has changed hands, satisfactory references as to the responsibility of the holders will be required by the Directors before new letters of allotment can be Issued ; on the additional deposit being paid (in accordance with the new letters of allotment), and the new deeds being executed, the new scrip will be issued. On and after the 10th of October next, the present scrip (unless it shall have been sent in to the Secretary, and received by him pre viously to that day) will be considered as cancelled, and the shares it represents will be re• allotted. Parties sending scrip are requested to write their names across each scrip certificate for the sake of security, and to send by a post letter, at the same time that they send their scrip, a list of the numbers of the scrip they have dispatched, with their own name, residence, and (if necessary) that of their references, attached in full to the end of such list.

Parrett and Walmsley, Palate yard, Westminster While two gigantic projects are struggling for victory, which, if ob tained, would inevitably prove fruitless to the victor, the dense and wealthy population between Lincoln and York, and between Lincoln and Leeds, are left unsupplied with railway accommodation. Not less ambitious cf 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 . In 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 the terminus of the Cambridge and Lincoln line at Lincoln, the proposed line will he taken by Saxelby and Lea to Gainsborough, where it will cross the Trent, and thence to Maxey-gate, whence a branch will issue to Doncaster. At this lat ter place a communication will be formed with projected lines from 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 Silkstone—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 wilt emanate from the main trunk to Askern, and either by means of the proposed branch to Mir 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 rendered easily accessible. This line will be the shortest between Lincoln and York ; Lincoln and Leeds ; Lincoln and Selby ; York and Selby ; and York and 'The gradients throughout the line are so favourable, that none exceed 164 feet in the mile, an instance unparalleled, if the length of it be taken iiitu consideration.

This railway will connect the important and hitherto neglected town of Barnet with the London and Birmingham and the Great Western Railways, at or near Holsdon-green ; with the Northern and Eastern and the Eastern Counties Railway, at or near Totten ham ; and the proposed Direct London and Manchester, and the Lon don and York Railways. The line, in its course, will unite the town of Barnet with Whet stone, Totteridge, Highwood Hill, Mill Hill, Finchley, Holder's Hill, Hendon, Burrows, Golder's Hill, Gutterhedge, Kingsbury, Neesdon, Wilsdon, Wilsdon Green. Holsdon Green, Kensall Green, Westbourne Green, Maids Hill, Kilbtirn, Hampstead, West End, Highgate, Crouch End, Hornsey, Musn•ell Hill, West Green, Tottenham, Edmonton, Chinfbrd, Stamford Hill, Stoke Newington, Newington Green, Clap ton, Highbury, Holloway, Kingsland, Layton, Stratford, West Ham, Bow, Bromley, Bethnal Green, Limehouse, Horton, Homerton, Hackney, Shacklewell, Dalston,- Islington, St. Pancras, Shoreditch, Blackwell, Euston-square, Paddington; Kensington, Hammersmith; Brompton, Fulham, Chelsea, &c. ; connecting those places with the various railways named, and all those south of the river Thames. The distance from the town of Barnet to the station of the London and Eirminghtun Railway, at Euston-square, by this route, will be 15 miles. The length of the m•t'n line, from the point of junction at Tetten ham to the London and Birmingham Railway, will be 11 miles ; and the length of the branch line to Barnet, will be 4% miles. From the junction with the Birmingham Railway to Chipping Barnet, 9% miles ; from the Decoy (near Brent-street, Hendon), on the proposed Barnet and North Metropolitan Junction Railway, to the Northern and Eastern Counties Railway, by Stamford-hill, 6% miles. There are no engineering difficulties throughout the entire distance. The line will proceed beyond the range of the Highgate and Hamp stead Hills, and the branch from the main line to Barnet will follow the valley of the river Brent to the intended station at Barnet ; thus the expense of construction will be less than any Other metropolitan line of railway, for the above reason, and because it will pass through an agricultural district, avoiding all ornamental property and large collections of houses and buildings. Upon the completion of this railway, a large and daily-increasing population, resident beyond the limits of the metropolitan omnibuses, will be largely benefited, and land and agricultural produce, hitherto affording an inadequate return to their cultivators, will be quad rupled in value. The ancient, populous, and once-flouristing town of Barnet, too, will uow have a railway communication of its own, without depend ing upon the caprice or uncertain goodnature of any company who may hold out a prospect of a branch, in future times, from some of the trunk lines now contemplated. An ample return of profit to the investments of shareholders may be safely anticipated, and will arise from the following sources, amongst others:— 1. From the conveyance of passengers. 2. From the carriage of goods and merchandise from the City and Docks, &c., to the several railways which are intersected I y this line, avoiding the delay and excessive cost of conveyance through London ; also from the conveyance of cattle, &c., more particularly during the period of the large Barnet fairs 3d. From the conveyance of coal, both inland and seaborne fuel, and other commodities of general consumption, the great expense of which has long been felt by all classes as a most grievc•oe ev... The Committee of Management reserve to themselves the power of adopting, upon this line, locomotive power, or Pr4sser's Railway guide and safely wheels, as may be deemed expedient. Applications for Shares in the form annexed (and communi cations from persons desirous of promoting the objects of the Com pany), may be addressed to the Secretary, at the Provisional Offices of the Company, 59, Newman-street, Oxford-street ; to the Joint Solicitors, Edward Elkins, Esq., 59, Newman-street, and G.

That this meeting having duly considered the prospectus and map of the line of the proposed Barnet and North Metropolitan Junction Railway, and on comparing the same with the other pro jected lines, does most unhesitatingly declare that the proposed Barnet and North Metropolitan Junction Railway will afford to the town greater advantages than any line of railway hitherto proposed to come in the vicinity of Barnet, it being the only one which will afford to the residents of the town the advantage of a station, and that it deserves the support of the inhabitants and all others having an interest in Barnet and its vicinity ; and that a petition be pre sented in favour of the line immediately upon the assemblinrof the Houses of Parliament. And thi meeting pledges itself to further the views of the Company, and resolves that a Committee be appointed promote the object and secure the interest of the town of Barnet.

This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda and Ely Vallies, with the South Wales itailway, at a few miles dis tance from the Port of Cardiff; and to open a new mineral district, one of the richest and most important in South Wales, which is at present without the means of transit for its immense and valuable products. It will pass through the central portion of the great coal-field of Glamorganshire, where iron-stone also abounds with the coal in ini mense quantities, and laying, geologically speaking, nearly fiat, and, obtainable, tor the most part, by proper levels. The coal in addition to its being of excellent quality for iron snaking, as is proved at Mer thyr and Aberdeen, is also, like that of those districts, of the very best description for .team purposes, being nearly smokeless, although inflammable, indeed so pre-eminently is the superiority of this de scription of coal established for steam purposes over any other, that the demand for it far exceeds the supply, and promises, accord ing to the opinion of the most eminent marine engineers, to super sede all others for purposes of steam navigation. This source of traffic alone will afford a handsome return for the capital invested, as has been demonstrated in every instance where even tram-roads or canals have been constructed to open the mineral resources of other less promising vallles in Wales than the Rhondda, which is cele brated for the abundance, quality, and facility of obtaining its pro ductions. An inexhaustible supply of limestone (so necessary for the manu facture of iron and for agricultural purposes) may be obtained by means of this Railway, much nearer and cheaper than by any other line. _ _ . This line will afford to the increasing population of the rich vales of Ely and Rhondda a much desired communication with the great market town and port of Cardiff, from whence, at present, they may be said to be almost excluded. It is intended that the line shall commence at Blaen Rhondda, the head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down to a natural pass between the hills at Ffrwd Amws, a distance of eight miles, where it will enter the Ely Valley and proceed down (a further distance of six miles) to Lanelay-bridge, near Lantrissent, and there join the South Wales Railway, thus opening a communication under the most advantageous circumstances as to distance, with all the ports in the British channel. A preliminary survey has already been made by competent par ties, and it is found that the country admits of highly favourable gradients, so much so that it is confidently anticipated that the works will be executed very considerably under the advertised ca pital. The landowners along the line are favourable to this undertaking, and the names of many influential proprietors will be found on the Provisional Committee. _ No Subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of his de posit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Company shall be under the control of the Managing Directors, to whom power is given to allot the Shuts, and to apply the Rinds of the Company in payment of all the expenses incurred In its forma tion, 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 Managing Directors as above), to raise any addi tional capital, to extend or abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, or enter into any arrangements. by a malgamation or otherwise, with any other company or companies, and also to nomi nate the first Directors of the Company. In the allottment of S hares, a pre ference will be given is landowners on the line and other parties locally interested.

The object of this line is to make a short and direct communication between the populous manufacturing and iron and coal districts of Bradford, Cleckheaton, Heckmondwike, Batley, Dewsbury, Barns ley, and Sheffield, with the wool and agricultural districts of Lei cestershire, Derbyshire, Doncaster, Gainsborough, Lincoln, &c., and the port of Boston. The line will form a junction with the West Yorkshire, the Leeds and Dewsbury, and the Manchester and Leeds Railways, at or near Dewsbury; and thence proceed by Darton to Barnsley, and Wombwell, to or near to Wath-upon-Dcame, near Swinton ; where it will join the North Midland Railway, and also meet the proposed line to Doncaster, Bawtry, Gainsborough, and Lincoln ; and form a communication by the existing lines with the port of Boston and the south ; and by the projected Hull and Barnsley Junction Railway ; It will also form a direst lice to Hull, and by the Leeds and Thirak Railway, a direct line to the nortk. .. . ..—. The line will also be continued from Barnsley by Tankersley and Chantltown to Shefleld. A branch will run to the various Ironworks and Colliery Rail ways, near Wentworth ; and another branch will run to the Silk stone Colliery Railways. A direct fine of communication will thus be formed between the important manufacturing places of Bradford, Bierley, Cleckheaton, Gouiersall, Heckmondwlke, Liversedge, Batley, Dewsbury, Ossett, Thornhill, Darton, Barnsley, Ardsley, and Wombwell, to Wath upon-Dearne, Doncaster, Lincolnshire, the port of Boston, and the south, and also to Sheffield ; affording the best possible accommoda.. tion to the rich iron and coal districts of Silkstone, Worsborough, Tankersley, Chapeltown, and Sheffil i ; whilst the wools and raw materials used in the manufactures at Bradford, Pudsey, Earlsheaton, Cleckheaton, Batley, Heekinondwike, Dewsbury, and Barnsley, as well as corn and cattle, will be received by the shortest and most di rect line of transit from Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire. and the southern parts which supply these commodities, in exchange for the manufactures, coals, and minerals of those districts. It must be evident to every one, on looking at the map, that this line is imperatively called for, as up to this period the only rail way communication for the supply of wool and other goods, and the conveyance of passengers to Dewsbury, Ileckmondwike, Batley. Cleckheaton, Bradford, and the intermediate places (each containing a numerous manufacturing population), has been the North ➢tidland line by Normanton—a very circuitous route, as appears by the fol lowing statement of distances of those places : Relative distances from Bradford and Dewsbury to Barnsley and Sheffield, by the present route, and the proposed line : If 11 es .

From Dewsbury - by the present route Sheffield is distant 40 miles ; by the proposed line it will be 21,—0r a saving of 19 miles. The same observations, as to saving of distance, apply to London and all intermediate places ; and it is important to observe that either by the present North Midland line, or by the projected London and York Railway, this proposed line will be the shortest and most direct route from Bradford, Dewsbury, &c., to London. It may also be noticed, that from Swinton to Leeds by this project and the Leeds and Dewsbury line, the distance Is much less than by way of /Connanton. The following table, taken from the Parliamentary Census of 1841, will give some idea of the populous Districts through which the line passes : POPULATION OF PLACES (IN 1841), ON THE LINE OF ROAD.

Power is reserved to continue the line northward to Bradford, if the Company should think fit. Provisions will be inserted in the Act of Parliament to allow inte rest at 4 per cent. on the deposits and calls, from the passing of this Act, until the opening of the railway ; and for limiting the share holders' liability to the amount of their subscriptions. I'ower will also be applied for in the Act (and in the meantime is reserved to the Managing Committee), to abandon or alter any part of the line, and to make branches ; and also to enter into any arrange ments with any other company or compant..

The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway is a direct line from London to Manchester, coming from London to Rugby, alo ng th e London and Birmingham line, and proceeding from Rugby to Hinck ley through Market-Bosworth and Ashby - de-la-Zouch, to Derby, thence to Ashbourne, by Leek to Macclesfield, and along the 3di e . clesfleld and Stockport, and Stockport and Manchester Railways, into Mar. shester. A branch to Buxton is in contemplation. The principle of this railway is to obtain a direct through line be tween some of the most important districts in the kingdom with the least possible amount of new railway, and, consequently, the smallest expenditure of capital. It will also establish the shortest direct communication between Derby and London, Sheffield and London, and between all the towns on the North Midland Railway and London. The Manchester, Derby, and Rugby Railway, will open a direct communication between Manchester and Derby, and will consider ably shorten the distance between Manchester and Nottingham an d Manchester and Leicester. The line from Derby to Rugby will establish the direct communi cation from that town to London , w hich has be en so long considered desirable by the inhabitants.' The same will apply to Sheffield, when the Sheffield and Chester field branch of the North Midland Railway is made. The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, in connexion with the Oxford and Rugby, and Oxford, Southampton, and Gosport Rail way, forms a direct Manchester and Southampton line. THE GREAT ADVANTAGES Of the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, over the other pro jects into Manchester, among others, are— First. That there are only seventy-flue miles of railway to h e made in place of one hundred and eighty-nine. Second. '1 hat it is a more direct line from London to Manchester than even the proposed direct lines. Third. That it interferes with no existing railway property or vested interests. Fourth. That it passes through a District rich in manufactures, agriculture, andanitierals, but which—more especially as regards its p agricultural produce, and a convenient system ro duce, to supply the of intercommunica tion for the conveyance of that agricultural large manufacturing towns in the vicinity—has been hitherto left to tally without railway communication. Fifth. That it passes through the towns in its route, instead of avoiding them. Sixth. That the whole line of railway from Rugby to Manchester will be completed and in working order within ten months from the passing of the Act of Parliament. fievtintli.
