The first object of this line is to connect the town of Birmingham Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route and to supply an important link of communication between the town of Spalding aid the eastern eoast, and the western and midland districts. Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Derekam, Lynn, and Holbeach Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn, Witham, Castle Bytham, south Wytham, and Wymendham, to a point cm the System and Peterborough line of railway near Meitea- Mowbray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mid land Counties Railway, an almost direct route to Leicester, and thence to Coventry and Birmingham by the proposed Coventry, Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway. The projected line will form the most direct commualoation be tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, and will, by means of the proposed lines across the county of Leicester, via Bur ton-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Linosln, Norfolk, Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by many miles than any other line of railway_ It will form, with other projected railways, an almost direct line across the kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, on the east, to Aberystvrith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the west. The entire length will mot exceed thirty miles. There is =tunnel ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary; the line from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve miles, is very level, and may be constructed at a small cost. It will secure the advantages of railway communication to a tract of country at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open ing out sources of trade undeveloped for want of the means of transit. The central midland districts have felt greatly the want of direct communication with the coast ; and this line will at once supply the deficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire. It will afford a transit for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon supply from the north at high prices : it will also secure the advan tages of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershire works, to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, which are at present only supplied at very high rates; and, in return traffic, the midland dis tricts will obtain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk. Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which is the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, and connected by the River Welland with the German Ocean. The every subsequent expense ; and the income derivable from the traffic i n p ass e n gers between Birmingham, Co - Tepuropo works sed ca and will be sufficient for the construction of the necessary capital Co ventry, Leicester, Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Boston, the trans port of corn, cattle, and other produce of the great agricultural districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland districts, will be sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay. The Parliamentary surveys have been commenced, and are now in active progress, and contracts have been entered into which en sure sufficient time for compliance with the standing orders. Forms of application for shares, plans, and prospectuses may be had of the Solicitors ; also at the offices of the Company, 4, Tra falgar-square, Charing-cross, where applications for shares, accom panied by respectable references, may be addressed to the Provi sional Committee.

The Shareholders are hereby informed that the Bin for the London and York Railway having, in the last session, passed the House of Commons, and having also passed the Standing Orders Committee of the House of Lord:, will be resumed at that stage im mediately on the meeting of Parliament, under the resolutions of both Houses giving this privilege to Railway Bills in the state of that of the London and York; and that the notices to that effect, required by those resolutions to be given in certain newspapers during this month of October and in November, are now in course of publication. Having now ascertained the extent of their liabilities consequent upon the very severe and protracted, though successful, contest of last session, the Directors have the satisfaction to find that, though the expenses have been unavoidably great, ample funds remain from the original deposit of 21. 10s. per share to meet any possible cost in the ensuing session ; and as in the case of the London and York Bill, it is not requisite ,under the standing orders, to increase the deposit of 5/. per cent. on the capital already paid, and which continues lodged with the Accountant-General of the Court of Chancery, it will be unnecessary to make any further call upon the shareholders. The Bill for the Wakelield branch, which, for want of time, was not heard last session, Is to be renewed ; and this branch is to be ex tended flout Wakefield Into the town of Leeds. Additional exten sions will also be proposed from Stamford d;rect to Spalding; from Hatfield through St. Alban's to Luton and Dunstable ; and to Hert ford—all which are in course of being surveyed preparatory to the usual deposits and notices required by Parliament. In conformity with the sessional orders under which Bills stand ing over from last session maintain their position in the ensuing session, a new Subscription Contract will be prepared ; and notices will shortly be given to the holders of the London and York and the Bawtry Branch Scrip Certificates of Shares, to send the same in for registry ; and of the time at which the New Deed wi'l be lying fur signature in London and at the principal country towns. . .

Offices, 163, Fenchurch-street, London This line has been projected for the purpose of forming the most direct communication between Birmingham and the Midland Coun ties, and the important and rising pert of Aberystwith and the sea coast of Wales. It Is intended to commence at the junction of the Welch Midland and Stour Valley Railways (both of which have projected lines to Birmingham), between Kidderminster and Bewdley, and proceedfrom thence through Cleobury Mortimer to Ludlow, where it will form a junction with the Worcester and Portdyuliaen, and Bridgnorth, Ludlow, and Wolverhampton Railways. From Ludlow it will follow the line of the present mail road, along the Valley of the Tame to Knighton, from which place it is intended to throw off a branch to the Craven Arms, to run into the Shropshire Mineral Railway, which has its terminus at that place. The line will proceed from Knighton to Llanidloes, where it will join the projected Manchester and Aberystwith Railway, and proceed along that line for the re mainder of the distance. The use of all projected lines being thee sought for, the part to be made will not exceed sixty miles ; and as surveyors are already upon the line, the plans, &c., will all be ready to go to Parliament in the ensuing session. The advantages of the present line over any other projected rail way between Birmingham and Aberystwith are :—That it is the most direct route b-tween the respective termini; that it passes through a district at present nnprovided with railway accommoda tion ; that by it and the Birmingham, Stamford, and Boston lines, a regular chain of railway communication is opened between St. George's Channel and the German Ocean; and by the Great Eastern and Western line a communication is also opened with Yarmouth, Norwich, and King's Lynn ; that it will open the slate mines of Cardiganshire, and the limestone of Radnorshire to Shrop shire, and the whale oY the midland counties ; while, on the ether hand, by the branch from the Craven Arms, the coals of Shropshire will be brought into Radnorshire, Montgomeryshire, and Cardigan shire, where that article does not exist, at little more than ene-thiLd of its present cost. From these and other sources of traffic it muU be obvious that a high rate of Interest upon the capital embarked may be depended upon. The line throughout the whole distance meets with the most influ ential local support, so as to ensure its complete success. There are no engineering difficulties of any magnitude, and no ornamental property will be invaded. Should the atmospheric pinci ple be fully tested and be found to answer, it will be adopted on this line. The responsibility of the shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions, and p,werysill betaken in the Act to allow in terest at four per cent. on the calls. The Committee reserve the usual power to amalgamate with any other existing Company or Companies, to limit or vary the line, as to them shall seem most expedient, order to carry out the objects of the Company. Prospectuses, with maps and fbnns of application for shares, may be had from the Secretary, at the Office of the Company, 161 Fen church-street; from the Solicitors and Local Agents; and also from the following Brokers, viz.:—Messrs.

The object of this railway is to afford local accommodation to the large population lying between Droitwich, Stourbridge, and Wol verhampton, and at the same time to improve tile chain of direct communication between Manchester, Salisbury, and Poole, on the one hand, and between Manchester and Southampton on the other. The line will commence by a junction with the Binningham and Gloucester Railway, near Droitwich, and passing by the saltworks at that place, and through or near the towns of Bromsgrove and Stourbridge, will fall into the intended Grand Central Station at Wolverhampton, whence run connecting lines with all parts of the kingdom. Tho importance of this communication, with reference only to the wants and convenience of Droitwitch, was strongly dwelt upon in Committees of Parliament during the last session, when it was proved that a communication with the port of Southampton, as well as with the agricultural districts of Wilts, Dorset, and Hants, must tend to a very great extension of trade in salt, as well as in iron and coal from the Staffordshire district. Traversing a densely-populated district, and improving the com munication from Liverpool, Manchester, and the north, with the ports and towns 01 the south and west of England, it is obvious th e line must also command a large passenger traffic. The length of railway will be about twenty-four miles. Promoted with the sanction and immediate support of the Manchester and Southampton Company, it is intended, after satisfying the require ments of the district and other important interests, that a proportion of the remaining shares In tho line shall be distributed to such of the shareholders in that Company as shall signify their desire for au al lotment on or before the 10th November next. The levels of the country have already been taken, and active measures iustituted for completion of the surveys, and the Directors confidently hope to bring the measure before Parliament in the en suing session. Applications for shares may be made, in the annexed form, to the Company's solicitor, at Manchester, or at the offices of the Company, 19, Groat George-street, 'Westminster.
