The proposed line of railway will commence at or near the harbour at-Lyme Regis, in the eounty of Dorset, and proceed from thence through Lyme, Up-Lyme, Axminster, Chardstock, Chard, and. Ilmiuster, and terminate at Taunton, in the county of Somerset, where it will join other important lines, and - be the meet's of transit for passengers and traffic to the most important places in the locality, as well as throughout the kingdom. The length of the line will be about twenty-six miles, and, from the preliminary survey which has been taken, it appears there are no extraordinary difficulties, nor will it interfere with ornamental property. The support of the principal landowners and other influential parties on the line has been secured ; and taking into consideration the short anti easy communication with the coast of France aid the Channel Islands, and the accommodation far shipping of considerable tonnage which it is proposed to effect by the extension of the present harbour, the shareholders cannot fail to derive a permanent and still Increasing advantage from the vast augmentation of traffic by passengers and merchandise, as well as from abroad and coast wise, as to and from the whole interior of the kingdom, with which the line M ill be connected by existing and progressing railways. The beauty and situation e f Lyme Regis as a place of resort for visitors is well known; anti on the plans now proposed fir facili tating the intercourse wish the interior, and connecting the two opposite Channels, being carried into effect, it is beyond all question clear, that the trade and mercantile prosperity of the port, as well as the extent and importance of the town. and the several places con nected with it by the projected line, must be immensely increased. This hue will establish a lucrative trade in lime, manures, fish, agricultural and mineral produce, particularly from the principality of Wales, which must necessarily tend to render this undertaking of tvrt..3 tittudgit wii:en tt will - pass. The improvement of the port and harbour at Lyme, and its exten sion so as to admit vessels of a larger class of merchantmen and steamers, esnaot fail to command the attention and support of all persons from Salisbury westward to Exeter, together with Bristol, Bath, the principality of Wales, and all parts of the north, visiting or trading w lb the Channel Islands, France, and other parts of the Continent, thus making the port of Lyme to those places what Southampton is now to London and its contiguity. The peculiar privilege secured !ty Act of Parliament, exempting the shipping of the port of Lyme from the Dover and Ramsgate harbour dues, payable by all other coasti rg vessels, as also the advantages of its being a bonded port, must not be overlooked. The enlargement anl extension of the harbour at Lyme Regis into a port of reluge, must be considered as of great national importance. This.harbour is accessible with winds which prevent entrance into any other ports in the Great Western Bay (being the only one in the whole of that extensive bay without a bar), and its importance, even in its present state, may be estimated by the following extract It main Roberts's " History of Lyme Regis," giving . the substance t :a report of a Committee of the House of Commons : LYME REGIS HARBOUR. " A Committee of the House of Commons was engaged in in . quiries respecting the repairs required, and entered into ex aminations as to considering the pier a national work. The re . suit was that this harbour was the best in the bay ; that in spring titles, at high-water, it is open to vessels of 120 to 150 - tons, awl with draught of 14 feet ; that notwithstanding the circumstances of its being a dry harbour, it is in some respects preferable to the bar harbours on the coast, some of which no vessel dare run for with the wind blowing violently on the - shore, accompanied with a high sea ; for, should a vessel strike - on the bar at the entrance of a harbour, she might pass over the bar and sink in deep water ; but when a vessel strikes the • ground at Lyme, she must be under clrcumstas ces of shelter and comparative security, being then protected by the outer • most part of the cobb, unless her draught of water be very great. "Hound the outermost part of the stones at the end of the Cobb, . which break the sea, there is, at low water, spring tides twelve feet. It has proved the means, in many instances, of saving vessels with their crews, which would otherwise have been Inevitably lost. The regularity of the cattle trade between the west of Eng land and the Islands of Guernsey and Jersey (a trade in time . of war of great importance), depends on the peculiar position . of this harbour, which makes it accessible with winds that prevent entrance into other ports of the West Bay."—lteport of Committee. During the late war, the Government contractors fer supplying the army in the Channel Islands, selected this port as the best for the sbitment of cattle. In the month of November, 1815, one vessel from this harbour made four passages to those islands when vessels from tither ports could not go to sea. Many ships from India and other places, wind-bound in the Channel, have been compelled to laud their passengers at Lyme, no other port being accessible during cer tain contrary winds. Many lives and vessels have been saved, even in the present state of the Harbour, and, when enlarged, its value in a national point of view, as a harbour of rang; will be incalculable. The saving In distance by landing at Lyme, instead of going round the Laud's-End, to or from Bristol, will be several hundred miles, and Independently of this large saving in distance, the certainty of the proposed communication, by avoiding the chances of delay through contrary winds, is perhaps still more important in a mer cantile light. The capital intended to be raised is 800,0001., divided into 40,000 shares 0(201. each. A deposit of 21. 2s. per share must be paid, upon allotment, and no. call will be made until the Act of Parliament shall be obtained, authorising the construction of the works. The liability of the shareholders will be limited, by the Act, to the amount of their respective subscriptions to the capital stock; and power will be applied for, to allow interest at the rate of 4/. per cent. per annum, on the amount of the deposits, and upon the further calk until the opening of the line. Power will also be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime power is given to the Committee of Ma nagement to increase the capital, if necessary; to alter or abandon any part of the line ; to make branches therefrom ; or enter into ar rangements with any other company, or companies. The Parlia mentary contract and the subscribers' agreement will be required to be duly executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip certificates, of which clue notice will be given ; and the deposits 'paid by parties making default in the due execution of the Parliamentary contrast and subscribers' agreement, within the time limited by suet notices will be absolutely forfeited.

M.A. This railway will connect Manchester with Milford Haven,. by the shortest practical route, and reduce the distance between those ter mini to 180 miles. The line commences at Crewe, and passes through or near to the towns of Nantwich, Whitchurch, Ellesmere, Oswestry, Welchpool, Montgomery, Newtown, Llanidloes, Tregaron, Lampeter, Newcastle Emlyn, Newport, Haverfordwest, and Milford. Short branches will be made to Aberystwith and Cardigan. Milford Haven is the most capacious and secure harbour in the British Islands. By taking the tide it may be entered without a pilot either by day or night, even with contrary winds. Its situa tion at the southern extremity of Pembrokeshire renders it, for ves sels homeward-bound, from the continent of America, the coast of Africa, the East Indies, China, and the Mediterranean, the easiest port to gain ; and the outward-bound ship may sail from thence with the wind in any quarter, and immediately-11nd herself in the Atlantic, free from the dangers and expense of a long Channel voyage, The proposed railway will connect the Lancashire and Yorkshire manufacturers with Milford Haven, and afford the like advantage to the North of England and Scotland. The expenses on the carriage of exported and imported goods, which the proposed railway will greatly lessen, or altogether save, are— First—The wages and victualling of the ship's crew during the voyage through St. George's Channel and the Irish Sea, which varies from two days to three weeks, averaging a third of the whole voyage from the United States. Secondly—lnsurance of the ship and cargo during that time. Thirdly—The channel light dues, pilotage, steam tug, and the river dues, dock dues, and town dues of Liverpool. Lastly—The expensive warehouseing, and eight or nine shillings per ton carriage by the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. The carriage by ralway of a ton of goods from Milford Haven to Mancliester.(lBo miles) will be 15s. at Id. per mile, and it. 2s. 6d. at the rate of 13/ d. per mile. L , cxl traffic.—The summer passenger traffic to Aberystwith, which is the most fashionable watering-place of the western coast, and to other parts of Cardigan Bay, is estimated to exceed that upon the Scarborough Railway, lately constructed. of kinds This line will be the means of transmitting supplies from the manufacturing districts to the great bulk of the Welsh po pulation—and returning agricultural produce and live stock, as :well as the flannel manufactures of Newtown and Welshpool—and will at ford access to a variety of stone, slate, lime, coal, lead, and other mi nerals, required to be carried to various places, for the purposes building, of agriculture, and of manufacture. A direct connexion with the salt works of Cheshire, through which the railway route to Manchester will pass, is equally advantageous to the Company and to the shipping interests of Milford Haven ; and the certainty of a direct communication being shortly opened between this line and the Staffordshire Potteries, by one or other of the pro jected railways in that direction, adds another important item of traffic in crates. The extensive flannel manufactories of Newtown (known as the Leeds of Wales). of Welchpool, and Llanidloes, and the valleys of the Severn and the Teifl, will be connected with the Yorkshire and Lan cashire markets ; and the founderies, potteries, tanneries, and malt and lime kilns of this industrious and thriving population will form a considerable source of local traffic. The Committee reserve power to alter the northern terminus, by extending the line to Altrincham, if requisite, and to make such arrangeemnts with railway companies, either for adopting other lines for a portion of the route, or for reciprocal working and mileage rates of carriage, as they may think proper and consistent with the great object of opening a cheap and direct through communication between Manchester and Milford Haven. Power will be applied for in the Dill to allow interest at the rate of 41. per cent. upon the amount of the deposits until the line is opened, and no shareholder will be liable for more than the amount of his subscription. In the allotment of shares a preference will be given to appiica• lons from persons locally interested. Applications for shares may be addressed to the Secretary, at the Company's Offices, No. 2, Norfolk-street, Manchester, and to the local agents ; and prospectuses, plans, and forms of application may be had at tile following sharebrokers :—Messrs.

It will commence in junction with the Leeds and Thirst Rail way at Wath, near Ripon, and following the route, as near as may be, of the Old Leeming-lane coach road, will proceed to a point near Masham, thence by way of Bedele, Catterick, Richmond, Middleton Tyas, Barton, and Mantleld, to Bishop Auckland, where it will Join the Northumberland and Lancashire Junction Railway The length of the projected line will be about forty miles, which will render the distance between the important towns of Leeds and Newcastle thirty miles shorter than by any existing, and fifteen miles shorter than by any proposed, line of railway. It will traverse districts abounding with coal, ironstone, lime, and agricultural produce, hitherto shut out from the advantages of rail way communication with the markets of the populous and manufac turing districts of Yorkshire and Lancashire. As this line will join the Yorkshire and Glasgow Union Railway near Bedale, the Lancashire and North Yorkshire Railway near to Richmond, and the Leeds and Thirsk Railway at Wath, it will afford the means of conveying coal, at moderate charges, to the extensive agricultural districts through which these several railways are pro posed to pass. The coke produced in the Auckland district already commands an universal preference over that supplied from any other part of the kingdom, and is accordingly in great request on all the principal lines, and the proposed railway will afford the most direct and con venient outlet fer it to the midland districts, where the demand will be unlimited. From the most careful and diligent inquiry it has been ascertained that the coal and coke are alone sufficient to yield an ample return for the capital employed in the construction of the line, independently of the present, and continually increasing traffic, in passengers and merchandize, which experience has hitherto found to result, wherever the facilities of railway communication has been provided. The attempts now making to constitute Leeds the great centre of railway communication between the northern and southern parts of the kingdom, for which its geographical position and commercial importance offer so many facilities, must necessarily render the New castle and Leeds Direct Aailway an important trunk line. The surveys are already made, and the line has been found to present no engineering difficulties, and to be of easy and inexpensive con struction. All other preliminary steps have likewise been taken to obtain the Act in the ensuing session of Parliament. _ Applications for Shares to be made at the offices of the Solicitors to the Company, to the Secretary, and to the following agents and stock, and share-brokers :—London--Mr. Simon, Warnford-court ; Mr. C.

This line will be about fifteen miles in length, and, viewed only as a local connecting line between Dundee and Forfar, it is in a great degree called for by the manufacturers, merchants, and farmers of the district. It will beyond all question, from this source alone, have a traffic sufficient for ample remuneration to the shareholders. For far is the county town, and there is necessarily a considerable inter course with Dundee. To parties locally versant with this manufac turing district, the very extensive traffic and intercourse between population of the district Dundee connect e a d n , d v i F t h o rf t a h r e a li r n e e l b k o n u o t w 00 1 000 T h . e Dundee, from its prnximity to Forfar, and its extensive shipping capabilities, is the proper and convenient port for exporting the pro duce of the district, but at present there is n o di rect railway com munication.present between Dn:1(1 ee n measure performed by horse carriage, an expensi ve an d t e di ous Thepro d cess Forfar expense y of doubletra ns m w i h t t a i t n ; but the formation of this railway will open up a direct and cheap communication, and will unquestionab!y benefit the trade and agriculture of the district. The line passes through a rich agricultural district, for the pro duce of which the farmers will by it find an easy and expeditious transit to Dundee, both for the consurnpt and exportation ; and the agricultural value of the lands will be considerably increased by the direct communication with the town and harbour of Dundee, and the railways running south from the Tay. The extensive pave ment and slate quarries around Forfar and along the district will be greatly enhanced by the line, as a cheap and easy access to Dundee for exportation will thus be afforded. The promoters of this railway, viewing the extensive local traffic, the junction with the whole railways before enumerated in con nexion with the great English trunk railways, have no hesitation in submitting this under taking to the public, not only as one necessarily called.for by the mercantile, manufacturing, and agricultural inte rests of the district, and public co iveniency, but more especially by its being the direct centrical line, forming a continuation of the rail way communication by the Edinburgh and Northern and Glasgow Junction lines, through the counties of Fife and Forfar, to Aberdeen and the north of Scotland. _ ..... As a safe investment for capital, this line, being thus in the midst of a great manufacturing district, and from the present formation of railway communication at both ends, will present the sure prospect of being highly advantageous. The district has already been surveyed, and pre'ents no difficulty to the formation of the railway; and the proprietors and tenants along the line are understood to be very favourable to the under taking. _ The requisite Parliamentary notices have been given, so that the Bill may be introduced and passed in the ensuing Session ; and the Company's engineer will immediately proceed to finish a minute survey of the whole line and termini at Dundee and Forfar.

' This line will pass in a direct course from Tunbridge, via Paddock wood (thus connecting itself with Maidstone), through the parishes of Brsnchley, Horsmonden, Goudhurst, Cranbrook, Benenden, llawkhurst, Sandhurst, Rolvenden, Newenden, Northiam, Peas marsh, Beckley, Iden, and Playdcn, to the town and harbour of Rye, and it will embrace a large extent of adjacent country, at pre sent unprovided with, and much requiring the admitted advantages of railway transit. The length of the line will be about twenty-five miles, a great portion of it will pass through a level country, and the remaining part is free from any material engineering difficulty, or works likely to require any serious outlay, and it is not expected to be necessary to interfere with any residences or ornamental property. The saving of distance to Rye, and all the other places embraced by this line, will be considerable. The capital required is estimated not to exceed 500,0001. - During the last session of Parliament application was made for a similar line, partially embracing the same country, when it was shown in detail, by evidence produced before the Committee, that the contemplated traffic, after deducting 401. per cent. for work. ing expenses, would leave a large per centage upon the invested capital. That line was rejected on the ground that the best direc tion had not been selected, but with an intimation that the port of Rye was e titled to a direct railway communication with the inte rior of the country, in the best direction towards London. The pre sent scheme has been based upon this intimation, taking advantage of the merits and defects which appeared upoi that investigation, and as it embraces a snore populous and productil e country, ard passes in a more direct line to London, and will have the benefit of better access to other and more numerous lines, the sources of traffic are considerably increased, and there is every reason to believe, front what passed during the last session, that the present plan will be favourably entertained by the Legislature. The chief object is to open the port of Rye to the full benefit of 11 railway communication, through a populous and productive district, in the direction of i ondon, to the best point at which it can avail itself of the existing and contemplated lines. The imports of Rye, particularly coals, with lime and other manures, are of great importance to the country through which the line will pass, and a cheaper and better mode of transit will much increase the demand for them, and give the opportunity of great im provement in the cultivation of the adjacent country. A railway through the heart of the chief hop district of the king dom, also producing corn, timber, and hop-poles, and communicating at its terminus with a great part of the Important cattle district of Romney Marsh, must be a public advantage. The port of Rye is adrititted to be the best outlet and quickest rout to Paris and to other parts of the Continent, and there can be no doubt if a direct railway should be made to Rye, with moderate improvement in the harbour, that it w0..1d be much adopted, particu cularly as a national and commercial communication with France. and by persons travelling on business.

SECRETARY —Edward Hart Hart, Esq. Orncrs—No. 1, Royal Exchange-buildings, London ; and 36, Upper Temple street, Birmingham. It is proposed by this Company to establish a direct line of commu nication between Birmingham, Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hull, at the smallest outlay of capital, and with the least possible injury to existing interests. To effect this object, use will be made of existing or projected lines, as far as practicable, and the chain of communica tion will be completed by throwing out new lines, where requisite. Commencing at Birmingham, it is proposed to use the Birmingham and Derby Railway as far as Whitacre, whence a new line, about 29 miles in length, will be made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Castle Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station ou the Mid land Counties Railway The communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will be carried fbrward as far as Gainsborough, either by the proposed Not tingham and Gainsborough Railway, or by a line springing out of the line from Nottingham to Lincoln, for which an Act was obtained by the Midland Counties Company during the last session of Parliament. From Gainsborough this railway will proceed to Barton-on-the- Humber, or New Holland, in the Immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby rendering complete and entire the chain of communication between Birmingham and Hull. By this project the advantages will result to the public of a Direct line from Birmingham to Nottingham, IP Birmingham to Gainsborough, and from Birmingham to Hull; and by means of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Railway, and the intended extension to Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Alrewas, a direct line from Wolverhampton and Dudley to Nottingham, and the other towns already enumerated. The support of several companies will be enlisted in favour of the line, which, together with its own merits, will ensure its success in Parliament. As a considerable portion of the line of communication is already made, or in progress, the time required for the completion of this great national undertaking will be materially shortened. Independently of the advantages to be derived by a direct commu nication between the important seaport of Hull and the mining and manufacturing districts of Warwickshire and Staffordshire, a large traffic in timber, corn, metals, &c., may be confidently expected. The revenue of the Company, in addition, will be derived from the great thorough traffic from Birmingham and the midland counties to Nottingham and Gainsborough, and the immense traffic from Bir mingham to Hull, theport at which the exports are shipped to Ham burgh, the German States, and the North of Europe ; and from the conveyance of merchandise, agricultural produce, and cattle from the southern, western, and midland counties. A preference will be given in the allotment of shares to landowners on the line, and other local proprietors, as well as to directors and shareholders in railways interested in supporting this undertaking. No subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of the deposit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. The usual power will be taken to allow interest at the rate offour per cent. from the time of payment upon each call until the opening of the Hne. No applications will be attended to without a reference to a member of the Committee, a banker, or the solicitors to this Company. The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must he executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip certifi cates, of which due notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by any party making default in the execution of those deeds will beton. felted.

This line is intended to commence at Louth, and to proceed, by way of Market Rasen, to the town and port of Gainsborough. in the county of Lincoln; and is projected for the purpose of completing a direct communication with the towns of Rotherham, Sheffield, Man chester, and Liverpool, and thus affording to the rich grazing and agricultural divisions of the county a ready access to those towns, which have always been the natural markets for the produce of the district ; and at the same time to provide a certain and speedy transit for manufactured goods and other articles of merchandise. The communication by railway between these important towns has not, by existing arrangements, been provided for, except by very circuitous routes ; indeed, that part of the line from Market Rasen to Gainsborough has been entirely overlooked ; and therefore the pre sent one has been proposed to meet the wants of the district on the strong representations and request of a large and respectable body of gentry deeply interested in the success of the scheme. It is useless to dwell in the present day upon the advantages of railway communication, as those towns which do not avail them selves of the facilities afforded must eventually sink in importance. To Louth and the surrounding neighbourhood especially the pro posed line cannot fail to be of paramount Importance, as opening, in dependently of passengers' traffic, a directineans of transit for cattle, corn, goods, &c., &c., to and from all the great Yorkshire, Lancashire, and other important markets. An examination of the map will at once show this, and also the connexion of the proposed line with ether important railways both in Lincolnshire, the adjacent counties, and all parts of the kingdom. To those acquainted with the town of Louth and its neighbour hood, it is unnecessary to point out the immense exrortation of p o r t a tdi t fl i su e tl i r i Ste o ubt f y; p a ala i ynn a ty i to i e ft i o i te e t) a t e e frl r , coal L uut i t v i e e s r po t o h l e , S p h r e e p ffi e e s l e t d i , 'i n d e w o t t h l l e r a ff g cattle, corn, wo o l, & c., to the Yorkshire markets, or the large im portation d d s procured thel plentiful n t e a . m T u t e t t e ' c c h e m e ar a r t t e r e a t e e () a t d a n e a T y e y r e c l a y n ta b g e , therefore, upon the testimony of the highly -respectable parties en gaged in commerce and agriculture who honour the present Com pany with support, have pleasure in announcing that the traffic re turns will be of a highly satisfactory character. It is no slight advantage in this scheme, that it cannot be said to interfere with existing railways. The main feature is the improve ment of communication between important towns by the old na• tural roads, and thus affording facilities to the agricultural and com mercial interests, and to the public generally, in and through a dis trict where a railway is essentially necessary for Its ultimate and lasting prosperity. A careful survey of the line has been made, and the engineer's report is of a very favourable character. He states that "the line is a very good one ; it will pass for the most part along the surface of the ground , it does not cross any main road, nor any ornamental property, or interfere with the mansions of the landowners ; the and no engineerin g di& No subscriber will be answerable beyond the amo un t of his deposit tisoeiallitsiesof occur v a o t u a ra a b y l pe c i h a aocter throughout, until the Act is obtained, and then net beyond the amount of his sub and power will be applied for in the Act of Parliament to interest at the rate of 4/. per cent. per annum on all calls until locally interested • but no ' to landowners and parties applica tion can be attended to unless accompanied with a satisfactory re ference.Upgate, Louth ; and applications sexed addressed to the Solicitors, to the Secre tary, information may be obtained r at sh a t r h es e , Co in mp t a h n e y's a,ces, form, may be c g hat :t b o e c r k s, an a d nd mea S sra ha . r p e e b p ro p k er e e r e s ra :— . il ta re ry ss , rs. a E n w d Mr. Newall and Mr. John and Co., 2, Old Broad-street, London ; the Hall, Liverpool; Messrs.
