SECRETARY, pro tem—John Devereux Pugh, Esq. This line is intended to be made from Wrexham, through Holt and Nantwich to Crewe. Its length will be about 23 miles, and it will be a direct communication between the most populous district of North Wales, and one of the most valuable mirreral fields in the kingdom ; and Crewe and the manufacturing districts of Cheshire, Lancashire, Stafford• shire, and Yorkshire, being a nearer route than any now existing or contemplated, by upwards of 12 miles. It is satisfac torily proved by the evidence of persons best qualified to give a correct opinion oq the subject, that the district of Wrexham (even exclusive of what may be called the Ruabon district) possesses in exhaustible supplies of coal, ironstone, lime, and lead, of the best quality; the extent of the coal-field is about eight miles long by two broad, and the limestone is of much greater extent ; the ver tical section of coal presents 14 successive strata of coal, of which 10 are workable; these strata give 40 feet 6 inches of solid coal, sup posing there to be 15 cwt. of coal to the cubic yard, and deduct ing one.tenth for old workings, and one.third for waste, faults, &c., there remains 18,517,920 tons of coal in a square mile.—(See Evidence given before Parliament on the North Wales Mineral Railway Bill.) The valise of the ironstone in the whole area of 16 miles is esti mated at 35,400,9941. The importance of connecting this wealthy district with the towns before named is too obvious to require a moment's comment. By means of the cheap and expeditious transit provided by this line, the coke manufactured in the neighbeurhcod of Wrexham (which is proved to be superior to any other, see evi dence before mentioned) will be conveyed to Crewe, for the supply of the numerous railways centering at that place, at one-third the present price; the revenue to be derived from this source must be immense. The whole district through which this line will pass is now supplied with coal, coke, lime, and slates from the mines and quarries in the neighbourhood of Wrexham at a very high price, in consequence of the carriage being so expensive. The average prices (per ton) of coal, coke, and lime, at Nantwlch and Crewe, exclusive of carriage, are as follows : At Nantwich, Coal .. Os. 2d. Coke 90 Lime ... l6 0 At Crewe, Coal •••• • 00000000 ••• 9 0 Coke „ Lime This railway will afford the means of supplying coal, lime, and coke at one-third the above prices. Among the multifarious railway schemes now before the public, the most legitimate and also.the most likely to yield a fair remu nerative return on the outlay, are the traverse railways projected with the object of supplying the existing want of railway transit across the country. The line will not interfere with any parks or property of an or namental character, and will be constructed at much less than the average cost. The Provisional Directors have no reason to expect any ef f ectual oppo,ition to a measure so obviously beneficial both to the public and the landed proprietors, and so: powerfully supported by those best qualified to form an opinion of its merits. With respect to engineering, the line presents no difficulty whatever, the gradients are very easy, and the earthwork light. The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest, at 41. per cent. per annum, on the deposits as well as upon all future calls from the date of the passing of the Act until the opening of the railway, and no shareholder will be liable beyond the amount of his subscription. In the allotment of shares preference will be given, to a oertain extent, to the proprietors of land through which the line will pass, and to shareholders in the Manchester and Birmingham, the Man. Chester and Birmingham Continuation, the North Wales Mineral, and the Staffordshire Potteries, Liverpool and Manchester Direct Railways. Applications for shares must be made in the annexed form to the solicitors, or to the following sharebrokers —Mr. Langton, Ex change-court, Exchange-street East, Liverpool ; Messrs. Cameron, Cazenove, and Taunton, Liverpool; Mr. Thomas Moxon, jun., 69 Old BroadZstreet, London ; Mr. W. G. Seed, 15, St. Ann's-square, Manchester ; Mr. Nathaniel Lea, Birmingham ; and Messrs. Standish and Bleckett, Leeds; of whom prospectuses and maps of the line may be obtained.

The main line of this railway will be about fifteen miles in length. Commencing at the Wortley Station, on the Sheffield and Manchester Railway, it will pass through the town of Silkston, and near to Dodworth, accommodating the whole of that valuable mining district with the most ready outlet for its celebrated coal to all parts of the kingdom. It proceeds by Darton, Chapelthorpe, and Sandal, to Wakefield, where it will join the Leeds and Man. chester, and the newly projected railways to Leeds and Harrogate, and to Pontefract and Goole. The inhabitants of Barnsley will also be accommodated by a branch to that town, from the main line, giving them direct and easy communication with the north and south. The distance from Leeds to Sheffield by this line, and its con nexions northwards, will be only thirty-two miles; by the present route it is thirty-eight miles. The distance from Wakefield to Sheffield by this line will be only twenty-three miles ; it is now, by way of Normanton, thirty-one miles ; and by way of Oakenshaw, twenty-eight miles, between two and three of which are by omni bus. Besides this saving of actual distance, the tedious stoppages at Masborough and Normanton, the delays of which are often equal to twenty miles of travelling, will be avoided, A careful survey has been made, by an experienced surveyor, who reports that the line from Wakefield to Silkston will run with easy gradients nearly en the surface of the ground for the greater part of the way; and that the only work of any mag nitude will be a tunnel, about six hundred yards long, at Woolley common, which will occasion in the approach to it from Wake field an ascending gradient of 1 in 108. The works between Silkston and Wortley arc of a heavier character, but in no part will the gradient be more than lin 112. The ruling gradient will be about 1 in ISO. This undertaking, in connexion with other railways, is in tended to accomplish the following very important objects :—First, a direct line of communication between London and Leeds, the Northern Counties and Scotland. Secondly, the opening of the extensive and valuable coal-fields of Silkston, Dodworth, Barns ley, and the adjacent districts, to the manufacturing and other towns of Yorkshire, the ports of Hull, Selby, Goole, Great Grimsby, and Boston, and also to the Metropolis, and the Mid land, and Western counties. Thirdly, the accommodation of the inhabitants of the places through which this railway will pass, with those facilities of conveyance for passengers, of which, from the almost entire absence of good roads, as well as railways, they have hitherto been destitute. An examination of the Map will show how well these objects will be attained by means of this railway. At its northern termi nus, Wakefield, it will be connected with the Leeds and Manches ter Railway, continued to the Midland and the lines extending from it to the north and east, with the projected Wakefield and Harrogate and Wakefield and Leeds lines (the latter a branch of the Leeds and Dewsbury from Churwell), and through it with the Leeds and Thirak, the Leeds and Bradford, and other railways, to the north.west and Scotland. And at Wortley, its southern terminus, it will be connected with the Sheffield and Manchester Railway, the projected Manchester, Midland, and Great Grimsby, and the Sheffield and Lincolnshire lines, the Sheffield and Great Grimsby Railway, the projected Sheffield and Chesterfield Railway, and the various new projects from Sheffield to the northern parts of Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and the west. The quantity of coal which this railway will make directly accessible to all parts of the kingdom may be estimated from the following statements given in evidence before a Committees of the House of Commons :—The township of Barnsley contains 2,010 acres of coal bed, Barughs 5,080 acres, Dodworth, 6,219 acres, Silkston, 4,040 acres. The quantity of coal in the Silkston main alone is thirty-seven millions three hundred and fourteen thou sand tons, and the quantity likely to be raised from the entire dis trict through which the railway will pass, is not less than seventy eight millions of tons. Pits may be sunk close by the railway, and will require only an engine to lift the coals perpendicularly, and pour them into the trucks. In addition to this, an opportunity will be afforded of turning to better account a bed of iron-stone underlying a space of 5,080 acres. The construction of this railway would so cheapen the transit of coal to York, Hull, and all intermediate towns to the north and east, and westward to Glossop, Ashton, Manchester, Stock port, and other towns in Cheshire, that the owners of this valu able mineral would be able successfully to compete with those of Durham and Lancashire. The inexhaustible mineral traffic which will thus be developed —the means which this railway will afford of improved transit be. tween Leeds end Sheffield, so long a desideratum is the inhabitants of these, the two largest towns in Yorkshire—the opening of direct railway communication with Barnsley, from which that important manufacturing town has hitherto been excluded—its con. flexion with the line projected to Harrogate, whither so many thousands of visitors annually resort in pur suit of health and pleasure, constitute a summary of advantages which cannot fail to recommend this project to public favour and support. It is calculated that the traffic in minerals alone will yield a lucrative return to the Shareholders; while the extraordinary increase of travelling which every ad ditional facility creates, and the surprising influx of trade which every new railway brings to the district through which It passes, adding largely to the profits of the undertaking, render it pro bable that the advantages which will actually be realised by this project will exceed the most sanguine expectations of its pro. rooters.

It is proposed :to form a railway from the south to the north of Ireland, commencing at Limerick and ending at Clones, a distance of 122 miles, with a branch from Parsonstown, through Roscrea, to Templemore, of 18 miles This railway will proceed north.. wards by Killal3e, Nenagh, Clcughjordan, Shinrone, Parsonstown, Banagher, Shannon Harbour, Athlone, Ballymahon, Kenagh, Long ford, Granard, Arvagh, Cavan, and Ballyhaise, to Clones, at which point it will meet the traffic supplied by the Belfast and Bally mena, the Ulster, the Newry and Enniskillen, the Dundalk and Enniskillen, and the Coleraine, Londonderry and Enniskillen Rail ways, thus concentrating, in its northern terminus, the intercourse of all the lines in that important portion of the country; and on the south, being in direct communication with the various existing and projected lines to Cork, Waterford, Limerick, Tralee, &c., it will bring the two extremes of the kingdom into immediate con. nexion, effectually open up the interior of the country, and neces sarily tend to develop its almost hidden resources, while the fact of the line crossing the direction of all the channels of communi. cation from east to west of the country, without competing with any of them, forms a singular and strikingly advantageous feature in the undertaking. Detailed prospectuses, with a plan, and forms of applications for Shares, may be obtained on application to the Secretary, to the Solicitors, or any of the principal Stock and Sharebrokers in the kingdom, through any of whom applications may be transmitted, and at the London Offices of the Company.

This undertaking is designed to supply the wants of an exten sive mineral and populous district, the claims of which to railway accommodation have long bees recognised, and various projects brought forward to secure the local traffic which is admitted to be sufficient to support a railway ; this line will not only accomplish that desirable object, but also possess the ad•antage of forming a direct communication, by the shortest possible route (in connexion with existing and projected railways), between two of the most important divisions of the kingdom. It is intended to commence by a junction with the projected railways that will centre at Uttoxeter, from which town it will proceed by Rochester to Ashbourne, Wirksworth, Cromford, Mat tock (where it will join the Manchester, Buxton, and Matlock Railway), and thence to or near Chesterfield, forming a junction with the North Midland Railwar, thereby giving to Ashbeurne a direct communication with Londo❑ by Uttoxeter, and will confer advantages to Wirksworth and other towns on the line, by means_ of the Manchester, Buxton, and Matlock Railway, •ia Derby. The line will be about thirty-five miles long, and the most direct communication that can be formed between Sheffield, York, Leeds, and other populous manufacturing towns of the north and the r north-easttheßristol, densely-populated of England (by means of the projected railways that will diverge from U t t oxe t er ) w i t h the Staffordshire Potteries, Stafford, Shropshire, the l;West of England districts ,o and f Sout h South Staffordshire,lvaie..

The district is destitute of water comm un i cation, with the exception of the Cromford Canal, which t at e right prominent angl es, resourcesand iit is i s of onl y necessary o h advert th the country to show the magnitude of the local traffic. The price of coals on all parts of the line is very high, being carted a distance of 10 to 15 miles. The cost of this indispensable artiee of consumption will be retticed nearly one half. The northern portion of the line will be cheaply supplied from the col lieries which abound on the North Midland Railway, and the town of Ashbourne and the locality ( as t o price) will be almost placed in immediate contiguity with the Che a dl e Coal Field, where ex t ens ive mines of the Yard coal are wo r k e d , which produces an intense p a u t The line will pass se v e ral valuable q ua rries of Derbyshi re mar b le which is extensive l y u,ed in all pasts of the ki ngdom ; and al so numerous lead -smelting works and r olling m ll*, produci ng l arge ia:ie heat, and is highly approved of both for d omestic and manu. f poses. quantities of pig and she et lead. It will afford an i nex h austible supply of lime for the hi g hly cultivated land on th e b anks of the for the article s mann Dove and Southward. It w ill o p en the Derbyshire mi nes to the Zinc Smelting Works in the ne i g hbourhood of Cheadle, and will afford a direct communication with Sheffield 'actured at those works, which at pre sent are carted to Derb y , a distance of more than twenty miles. Already a large cattle traffic exists with the wall) , which will unquestionably be greatly augmented by the facilities of this rail way, large importations of Scotch and Yorkshire cattle will be brought for fattening on the luxuriant pastures of the Dove, tak ing in return to the markets of the manufacturing towns, the corn, cheese, wool, and other produce of the extensive and fertile agri cultural district which surrounds the Staffordshire terminus of this railway. It will bring the already large cheese and cattle fairs of Uttoxeter and Ashbourne into greater importance. The iron furnaces of South Staffordshire consume annually more than half a million tons of limestone : some estimates make the quantity exceed a million tons. It is well known that the iron masters give a decided preference to the limestone at the south of the Peak, over any other that has hitherto been tried; the very great fusibility of this stone rendering it peculiarly suitabie as a flux for reducing the stubborn iron ores of South Staffordshire, and were it not for the dilatory and expensive means of transit from Froghall, it would now be used to the total exclusion of all other kinds. The proximity of this railway to the iron district, the tact of its entering the limestone range at the most southern extremity, and the advantage of excavating the stone immediately on the line of rails, cannot but ensure to it a very large share of this enormous TUE CENTRAL SUSSEX ; or, SOUTH.

James, Esq., 5, Basinghall-strect, City. Henry Padwick, Esq., Horsham. The object of this line is to establish a direct and rapid commu nication between the great naval and military depots at Ports mouth, Chatham, and Sheerness, as well as to afford to the Cen. tral districts of Sussex increased facilities of intercourse with the adjoining counties to the eastward and westward. Commencing at the Bishops Stoke station of the South-Western Railway, this line will proceed in an easter:y direction to Bishops Waltham, Petersficld, Midhurst and Petworth, at which place it will unite with a branch from Portsmouth. The main trunk will teen continue by Petworth to Horsham, where it will fall into the Crawley and Horsham branch of the London and Brighton Rail way. Making use of that branch, it will proceed from Crawley to East Grinstead, and thence in a north.easterly direction till it meets the South-Eastern Railway at the Fonbridge station, at which point the Brighton. Lewes, and Tonbridge-wells Railway will join, so that this rrojeA will also be an extension of that scheme to Rochester, Chatham, New Brompton, Sheeerness, and Gravesend; then continuing in the same direction i: will fall into the Maidstone and Rochester line, at Lower Mailing, which takes a direct course to Rochester and Chatham. The Ports mouth branch will leave the trunk line at Billingshurst, and pass through Putborough direct to Chichester, and reach Portsmouth by the Chichester and Portsmouth Railway. The following towns will receive railway accommodation by this line :—Chatham, Rochester, Caxton, Lower Mailing, Addington, Plaxtall, Tunbridge, Penshurst, Cawden, East Grinstead, Cor_ hampton, Horsham, Itchingfield, Billinghurst, Wisborough Green, Til!ington, Petworth, Midhurst, Petersfiekl, East Mean, bison Stoke, Bishops Waltham. And by the Portsmouth branch :—Pulborough, Chichester, Emsworth, Havant, Portsea, and Portsmouth. A reference to the map will show that this line, if carried into effect, besides affording to the rich and extensive district of central Sussex a lateral railway communication, with which it is at pre sent wholly unprovided, will establish the most direct means of in tercourse between the whole of the south of England, from the Isle of Wight, westward, irciuding the great cities and ports of Ports mouth, Southampton, Salisbury, Poole, Weymouth, Dorchester, Exeter, Plymouth, and Fal.nouth, which will be connected by various projected lines, and the rich and populous county of Kent, with its important towns of Maidstone, Rochester, Chatham, Sheer. ness, Canterbury, and Dover, —being even more direct by thirty one miles that the coast line between Dover and Southampton ; uniting, also, the much.frequented watering.places of the Kentish coast, from Herne Bay round to Folkstone, with those of the Isle of Wight, and the coasts of Dorsetshire and Devonshire; and, above all, bringing the great arsenals of the kingdom, Plymouth included, into direct intercommunication and close approximation. It should be observed, that this railway will also prove a far more direct means of communicaticn than any existing line be tween the Arsenals of Woolwich and Deptford on the one hand, and Portsmouth en the other. By means of the Brighton Railway, as far as Horsham, and thence by the proposed line to Portsmouth, troops, seamen and naval and military stores, may be conveyed be tween these great arsenals with a saving of 21 miles above any existing railway, especially affording immense convenience to the troops constantly passing out to the East Indies and other colonies, by the avoidance of the circuitous and tedious navigation from Gravesend. In this point of view, this line will prove of essential value to the Government, and must be regarded in the light of a great national undertaking; and, moreover, cannot fail of proving highly remunerative to the shareholders. The opportunity will be afforded, by means of this railroad, of establishing the electric telegraph between the most important naval and military depots of the kingdom. As regards local traffic, this line will not compete with any existing railroad, but rather prove beneficial to all; and by means of the various lines already projected from London, Dorking, Guilford, and other parts north, to the coast of Sussex, which will cross the proposed line, this latter will afford a direct access from the central district of Sussex to all parts of the kingdom. The merits of this line, already set forth, are greatly enhanced by its peculiarly direct character—by its remarkable facilities of construction, and by its •ery slight interference with ornamental property. The entire length of the line will he 111 miles, of which 19 miles are either already made, or about to be constructed by other companies, leaving 92 miles to be laid down by the " Central Sussex, or Southampton, Portsmouth, Chatham, and Sheerness Direct Railway Company." The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at 4 per cent. on all paid-up calls from the passing of the Act until the completion of the line, and the liability of the shareholders will be limited to the amount of the subscription. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Company will be under the control of the Committee of Manage ment for the time being, to whom power will be given to allot the shares, and to apply the funds of the Company in payment of all the expenses incurred in its forthation, and in the preparation of the plans and sections to be submitted to Parliament. Power will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime is hereby given to the Committee of Management, as above, to raise any additional capital, to abandon any part of th e li ne, or ma k e branch lines, to enter into any arrangements with any other company or companies, and also nominate the first Directors of the Company. . _ All communications with reference to this line, m a y b e a dd resse d to W.

The cost of the stone and expenses of delivery by the canal from Froghall to the iron district, amount to 7s. per ton, and by this railway, after allowing a remu nerative toll, would be laid down at less than 4s. per ton. _ The visitors to the Peak are alrea.ly very numerous. Let this romantic scenery (which may be justly termed the Switzerland of the centre of England) be opened to the Indus rious artisans who chiefly compose the great hives of population with which this railway will communicate. Let this beautiful scenery be made easily accessible to this class of persons at a trifling sacrifice both of time and money, and the revenue from this source alone during the summer months will be found to be of no inc.nisider. able amount. The projectors feel convinced that this railway contains the ele ments of great prosperity, and that as an investment it offers more than ordinary security. There can be no doubt of a profitable return for the capital, and the nature of the country presents in superal le obstacles to the formation of any other ;ine which can materially compete with it.

The object of this line is to form the nearest possible route from Hull to Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, and other places, in connexion with the Midland Railway and its Extensions. The line is intended to commence at a junction with the Hull and Selby Railway at or near Gilberdyke, and from thence con. tinue in a direct HMO through or near Linton, Bellasize, Laxton, Skelton, Goole, Thorne, Fishlake, Bramwith, Hatfield, Armthorp, Doncaster, Sprotboro', (and its extensive Limestone Fields) Co nistsro', Hooton, Rotherham, and to join the Midland Railway at Maabro'. The following are some of the advantages this line possesses:— It will, by a junction with the proposed Manchester, Huddersfield, and Great Grimsby Railway, at Doncaster, effect a savin g b e t ween Hull and Manchester, and between Hull and Liverpool, of about forty miles, over any existing route. It wiil form a junction upon a level with the proposed London and York at Doncaster, and thus open the shortest route from the termini of these projected lines to London and Edinburgh, a n d also the most direct route to Chesterfield, Nottingham, Derby, and Birmingham. It will form a direct route from hull to Sheffield through Goole, Thorne, and Doncaster. It will form a direct line from Hull to Barnsley, and the inex haustible coal-fields of Srlkstone, Worsbro' Cawthorne, Bretton, Billingley, Barugh, and also to the limestone fic'ds in the neigh bourhood of Doncaster, which will be of great benefit to the agri.. cultural districts of Lincolnshire and the East and North Ridin g , of Yorkshire, It will, by the saving of distance and of stoppage, accelerate the mails between Bull and Sheffield, and Bull and Manchester, at least two hours. The whole of the country has been carefully surveyed, and the report of the engineer is exceedingly satisfactory. No engineering difficulties exist, nor will any ornamental or re sidential property be interfered with, and the line is comparatively a straight one. The cost of construction is very much below the average, owing to its being a surface line nearly the whole distance, and the im mense traffic that will pass over it must render it highly remune. rative to the shareholders. An influential provisional committee is now forming, and the m ay also be addressed to the France belw names of the gentlemen comprising it will be shortly announced. J.

This Company has been formed for the purpose of constructing and maintaining a direct line of railway between the towns of Liverpool and Derby, by proceeding from an independent terminus at Liverpool, or on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, diverg ing in a direct course to Warrington, Knutsford, thence to Congle ton, Leek, Ashbourne, by Brailsford and Langley, to Derby, thus affording railway accommodation (the want of which has for some considerable time been most seriously felt) to four large interme diate manufacturing towns, and completing a direct communica tion to Ireland, Liverpool, and the North-west of England, fsom Nottingham, Grantham, and the Eastern posts of Boston, Lynn, and Yarmouth ; as also (in conjunction with the Midland Coun. ties Railway) from Leicester, Melton Mowbray, Oakham, Stam. ford, Peterborough, Ely, and Cambridge; and forming, by the intended Churnet and Blythe Valley Railway, the most direct line of communication between Liverpool and London. The importance of the different towns through which this rail way will pass, is sufficient to convince all parties that on public grounds alone it is absolutely necessary; and that the immense local traffic not only justifies but demands its formation, independently a the great accession which must necessarily follow, from the advan tages which will be given to the several towns and ports above enumerated, and to the various ports south-east of Derby, in opening to them the grand commercial depot and port os Liverpool. The necessity of establishing the most direct railway communi cation between the towns of Liverpool and Derby is self-evident, from the fact of the enormous traffic which at present exists under the most disadvantageous circumstances ; the nearest communica tion by railway being 120 miles, whilst, by the construction of the proposed line, the entire distance will be reduced to about 73 miles, opening at the same time the shortest rracticable route between Liverpool, Manchester, and London. . . It would be superfluous, in reference to a line presenting so many extraordinary advantages, to encumber the prospectus with details of estimated traffic; for, independent of its possessing the great desideratum of directness, the present local train, it is well known, will produce a return that evidently must surpass that of any other scheme which has hitherto been projected. . _ . . It may further be mentioned, as worthy of consideration, that the proposed line, which must necessarily form a " Great Trunk line," interferes with no existing railway, presents no engineering ditilculties, and requires no works to cause any delay in its com - pletion. Power will be taken by the Act of Parliament to allow in terest at the rate of 41. per cent, per annum on all calls until the opening of the line, and no subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond his subscription. Until an Act of Parliament be obtained, the affairs of the Com pany will be under the direction and control of the Committee of Management. Power will be applied for in the Act—and, in the mean time, is hereby given to the Committee of Management—to increase the proposed capital, if necessary ; to abandon any part of the line; to make branch lines, or enter into arrangements with any other company or companies; and to nominate the first Direc tors of the Company. In the allotment of shares a preference will be given to all parties locally interested, and shareholders in the different railways communicating with the line.

Aime, Esq , 62, King William.street, pro tern. This important line of railway was sanctioned by the Canadian Legislature, in the last Session. The line of the Great Western Railway of Canada, as authorised by the Act, is 245 miles in length, commencing near Fort Erie, opposite to the town of Buffalo, and terminating at Windsor, on the Detroit river, opposite to the town of Detroit. Its whole courie lies within the British territory ; and it traverses the most fertile and populous portion of the province of Upper Canada, passing through the town of Hamilton, at the head of the navgiga tion of Lake Ontario, and intersecting the Niagara, London, Gore, and other districts, containing numerous towns and villages, with a rapidly increasing population. The importance of such a line for national purposes, and for the interests of Canada, is so obvious as to have ensured the favour and support of the Government ; while at the same time, it forms a direct trunk line fir the traffic of the principal towns and districts of Upper Canada with one another, and with the seat of Government ; and for the stream of passengers and emigration which flow from this country by way of the St. Lawrence to the upper province. The principal feature of the undertaking, however, as a commer cial enterprise, consists in its uniting this character of a main artery for the local and provincial purposes of Upper Canada with that of a completing link in the great system of thorough commu nication between the North Western Slates of America and the upper Valley of the Mississippi on the one hand, and the cities of New York and Boston, and the Sea Board of the Atlantic, on the other. , A reference to the map will show that the town of Buffalo, which is the eastern terminus of the Great Western Railway of Canada, is the focus of the various communications by which the traffic of the interior is conveyed to the Atlantic, among which , may be mentioned the Erie Canal, the New York and Erie Rail road, 460 miles in length from New York to Buffalo, the Boston and Buffalo Railroad, 560 miles in length, and various other lines of railroad which radiate from Buffalo in different directions through the States of New England and New York. The western terminus, Detroit, is, in like manner, the focus of the extensive railway and canal communication of the North ' Western States, including Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and the upper part of Ohio, of which a large portion are already completed, and in:successful operation. The State of Michigan, far instance, although the latest settled and least populous of those States, has already upwards of 700 miles of railway completed or in progress; among which is a main trunk line of 200 miles in length, in direct continuation of the Great Western Railway of Canada, from Detroit to St. Joseph, on the Michigan Lake, of which 110 miles are now open, and upon which a dividend of 7 per cent. was paid last year. The stream of traffic between Detroit and Buffalo is now carried on entirely by the circuitous and dangerous navigation of Lake Erie, which is closed during half the year. Its importance may be judged of from the fact, that upwards of 60 large steamers, averaging 450 tons burden, and 160 horse power each, are employed en Lake Erie, in addition to 300 sailing vessels of the united tonnage of 20,000 tons; and it appeared from an official return, that the number of passengers entering and leaving Buffalo, during the summer season, averaged 1,000 daily, and that upwards of 100,000 passengers were carried by the steamers upon the Lake during five months. The passage between Detroit and Buffalo, by first-class steamers, occupies, under the most favourable circumstances, about thirty six' hours, and the navigation is suspended during half the year; while, during the remainder, it is liable to frequent interruptions from the storms to which Lake Erie is peculiarly subject; while, by the railway, the journey will be performed at all seasons in twelve or fourteen hours. There can be no reasonable doubt, therefore, that the railway will at once absorb the greater portion of the traffic, and will be. come, in connexion with the systems of railway communication at either extremity, the high road for the traffic of the Western States with the Atlantic. No competing line can be made to divert this traffic, as the Great Western Railway of Canada affords the most direct route between Buffalo and Detroit ; and any other line, to connect these points, would have to wind round the south shore of Lake Erie, increasing the distance by at least 125 miles. The importance of these considerations will be abundantly mani fest from the simple fact, that the population of the provinces of the United States, for whose traffic the Great Western Railway of Canada will furnish the principal outlet, exceeds 2,500,000, and has increased at the following extraordinary rate, viz.:— Population in 1810.IPopulation in 1840. Michigan Indiana 24,250 683,314 Illinois Ohio And the increase both here and in Upper Canada is now going on at at undiminished rate. Without dwelling upon the prospects of eventual traffic which must result from the rapid progression of population, and the de velopment of the resources of the North American States and Canada, and which render the present undertaking so peculiarly inviting with a view to permanent investment, it may be sufficient to state, with regard to the present and existing traffic 1. That the Michigan Railway, which is a continuation of the line of the Great Western Railway of Canada into a more remote and less populous district, although only partially opened, pays a dividend of seven per cent., and the other railways open in this State, pay dividends of from six to ten per cent. 2. That the lines of rail way i►► New York and New England, which complete the communication between Buffalo and the Atlantic, although competing with the Eric Canal and with one another for the trans which will be concentrated on the Great Western Railway of Canada, pay dividends of from seven to ten per cent. 3. That the existing passenger traffic between Buffalo and De. troit, supposing two-thirds of it only to be carried by the railway, and making no allowance for the increase of travelling which would be occasioned by the increased facility of communication, would, according to an estimate taken by the Company's engineer, in Canada, be sufficient to pay seven per cent. on the cost of con struction, without taking into account the local traffic of Canada, or the traffic in goods and merchandise. The line is of a peculiarly easy character, traversing for the greater part of its distance a level plateau, and involving no heavy enginewing works. The land will be obtained at an inconsiderable cost, and the whole preliminary expenses which have been in. curred in obtaining the Act, kc., do not exceed 1,0001. As a proof of the cheap manner in which railways may be con. structed in America, it may bo instanced t hat the glichiEn Railway, which, as already mentioned, forms a t on tinuation of I" Great Western of Canada, has been actually cot istrueted at a MO* including station and working stock, of 0,600/.1 afar mile; a nd OM' the various railways centering at Buffalo have be , to similarly C pkted, at a cost averaging from 3,00 01 . to 4,000/4 p er mile. There is no doubt that the Great Western B ailway of Canada traversing an easier country, and with better :COINS to mate rials, might be constructed at Ls low a cost as Any of Gat se railwalss " h at it has been thought prudent to frame the estinant e with a vie* a more solid and enduring work, resembling- -more nearly l i la character the railways of this country ; and th e z-nount of MOP has been fixed accordingly upon a revised astim, ate considerably higher than the average cost of railways in the, United States. There is no ditlicul:y in letting the works to :respectable co' " tractors in Canada, and ts the excution will be forthwith COOI menced, and the works are of such an easy cbara stet, It is co°' fidently expected that the whole line will be o p ened In the cosine of the year 1848. The concession under the Company's Act is of the niost foal' able description, being unlimited in respect of tolls and charge, and also of duration, subject to a rigi't to the Government to pu t, cooler'. case the railway after 40 years, upon payment of a NUM to '2O per cent. upon the capital, pro aide d the railway Shal of l ; t1) : the average of the preceding 40 years Waive paid a dividend less than NI per cent.
