This Undertaking is projected by influential local interests to supply the requ!re,nents of the above important district ; and a reference to the Map will show that it will also complete the communication be tween York, Leeds, and the intermediate towns in the most direct course with London. The surveys have been made by Sir John Mac neill and Junin Thompson, Esq., and the country is found to be fa • vourable to the construction of a railway ; and there is, perhaps, no Um of such imporlance which could be constructed at comparatively so small, an expsnse as the sum named in the estimate. The length of the line will be but about thirty-nine miles ; and by means of this short link, in connexion with existing projects from Nottinghath, a saving will be effected between Leeds and the metro polis exceeding twenty-five miles. It will commence at the projected terminus of the Wakefield, Pon tefract, and Goole Railway, at Pontefract, and from thence proceed throngliMricaster, Tickhill, and Worksop, to the terminus of the Nom edam. Mansfield, and Midland Counties Railway, at Mansfield ; thereby Completin.t, by means of the York and North Midland Rail way, the shortest route from York to Nottingham and London. It will alsci, by the . proposed extension line of the Wakefield, Pontefract and GoOlrfreen. the York and North Midland, near Methley, f orm the nearestline between Leeds. Nottingham, the Midland and South ern Counties, and by the Goole and Doncaster line, an uninterrupted e r n .OPie-WeAt with Goole and the shippi ng p or t s o f the Humber. I will also form a means of communication with the several pro jectel.lines to the rising port of Great Grimsby. It Is a remarkable feature in this line, that there is no competing scheme, nor does it at all interf ere w i th any ornamental or residen tial property. It is not considered essential to enter into the details of traffic ; the value of thelines In the district, in that res pet, Is asufitTent test of Its extent , In addition to which, the railway will become recipient of muck -of the northern traffic, arising (ruin the nunierou with whiCh it is connected, and must also becom e the Grand ra T n ru ch n e k s Line to Condon from the Western part of Yorkshire.

ExotsEzu—Samuel Hughes, Esq., Civil Engineer, Duke-street, Weel minster PROSPECTUS. The object of this Company is to establish the most direct railway communication between Birmingham and Boston. It will commence at Leicester, accovmodating, at the same time, the important lowa@ of Stamford and I)eterborough, in conjunction with the projected line from Birmingham to Leicester, will proceed thence in a direct line through Melton Mowbray, Edenharn, Corby, Folkenham, Donnlngton, and Swineshead, to Boston, so as to form one grand chain to the whole of the manufacturing districts. At Boston it will join the projected line to Great Grimsby, thus opening out the extensive a.lvAntages of a direct communication with Hull, Leeds, Manchester, and otlr‘r important districts conaected with the railways in that locality. At Edenham it will cross the London and York line, or the Cam bridge and Lincoln at Folkenlistm, thus affording the inhabitants of Leicester and its neighbourhood the readiest communication to York and the north, and bringing Boston and its vicinity on the London and York Junction at Edenham, in the shortest direct communica tion with the latter capital. The distance from Leicester to Boston is 63 miles, and from Lei cester to Birmingham 41 miles—making a total of 104 miles. The route of line now proposed is from Leicester to Boston, a distance of 42 miles, and from Leicester to Birmingham, 20 miles—making a total of 62 miles, effecting a saving of 42 miles. By this project, the merchandise of Birmingham, Coventry, and Leicester will be con veyed to Boston in one hour and thirty minutes ; and thus the im portant shipping interests from Boston to Russia, Petereburgh, Nor way, and Denmark, and the whole of the Baltic, will be immensely benefited. Boston is the nearest port to Birmingham, and It may be justly stated, is yet in its infancy as regards its great commercial resources and facilities. The statistical accounts of the Customs at Boston show a most extensive increase of imports from all the northern ports of Europe, viz., timber, deals, fir, flax, and tallow. To the shipping interests of Boston and the manufacturing dis tricts before mentioned, the facilities afforded by this line will be of the greatest importance, and the benefits arising from such an inter course will be incalculable. _ The supporters of thus great enterprise confidently assert that this undertaking is one replete with every facility and advantage to the counties and districts before named ; and as a channel for the safe investment of capital, it may confidently challenge competition with any other line yet projected. The Directors feel confident that an undertaking embracing so many advantages will meet with the support of all those locally in terested ; and they have great pleasure in being enabled to announce that the encouragement and support already received, and from par ties who, from a local knowledge of the country, are best able to form a sound judgment of the result of the proposed line, inspire them with the fullest confidence in their application to Parliament in the ensuing session. The Directors are assured by persons acquainted with the country that there are no engineering dfficulties to encounter, and that the line will not interfere with any ornamental or desirable property. The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest of four per cent. per annum, after passing the Act, on the amount of the subscription paid up ; and that no subscriber shall be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. In the allotment 6f shares a preference will be given to those locally interested. The survey of the line is in active progress, and will be completed for the ensuing session. Prospectuses and forms of application may be had at the offices of the Company, No. 18, Skinner-street, Snow-bill; of the Solicitors, and of the following stock and sharebrokers, and local agents, to all of whom application may be made, accompanied by a reference to a banker, or solicitor, or one of the Provisional Committee, without which none can possibly be attended to : London—Messrs.

It commences at the Faniborough station of the South-Western Rail way, crossing the Great IVestern li^e between Slough and Maiden head, and terminates on the Oxford and Rugby line of railway at Heyford, beyond Oxford, on the route to Birmingham, accommo dating in its course, Bracknell, Sunning-hill,Bagsbot, Ascot, Windsor, Great Marlow, , High Wycombe, Princes Risborough. Thame, Bicester, and many other places at present without railway com munication. It will form the most direct route from London to Banbury, War wick, and Birmingham, and by the Grand Junction Railway to Man chester, Liverpool, Lancaster, and Carlisle, and by the Caledonia' Railway to Glasgow and Edinburgh ; also from Crewe to Chester, Birkenhead, and Holyhead, thus opening the most direct communica tion with Dublin. It will also by the branch to Oxford, in connexion with the Cheltenham and Oxford line, form the most direct route to South Wales, Waterford, and the south of Ireland, as well as by th e Ox ford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line to Worcester, and conse quently to all the central portion of Wales, thus forming the shortest route to all Wales and Ireland. The length of this line will not exceed 64 miles, and it will save an average distance of 14 miles to etch of the before-mentioned places, as compared with the route now traversed by the Great Western Railway. It is satisfactory to state that there are no engineering difficulties, and that the land is the least valuable of any In the coun ties through which this line is intended to pass, avoiding, as it does, parks and ornamental property. To the advantages offered to the above places, by saving about fourteen miles in the transits to London, must be added that of con necting them with the South-Western and the Reading and Reigate lines, affording passengers an opportunity of proceeding to South ampton, Portsmouth, Isle of Wight, Dover, Brighten, and all adja cent places, without the necessity of passing through the metropolis, thereby saving much time and i*oonvenicnce. It will be seen from the ftegoing facts that the formation of this line will afford very great advantages to nearly all parts of England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, as it will materially facilitate the de livery of their many marketable products by opening another and more direct route to London. It is not, therefore, too much te ex pect that, independently of a great local traffic, there will be also an immense through traffic brought on this line, which must pay at least 10 per cent. on the capital required. This is manifest, as the construction of the line will not cost 20,000/. per mile, while the London and Birmingham Railway cost 53,000/. per mile, upon which enormous outlay it continues to pat) , 15 per cent. Shareholders in the Grand Junction, Great Western, South Western, Oxford and Rugby, Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhamp ton, and Birmingham and Oxford Junction Railways will have a pre ference in the allotment of shares after parties locally interested. The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share holders beyond the deposit now - paid, until the Act of Parliament shall be obtained ; and power will be taken in the Act to allow four per cent. interest on all calls until the line be completed, which, from the nature of the ground to be gone over, is not expected to exceed two years. The Committee have decided, lin complian^e with the suggestions of landowners of great influence, to form branches from the Thanse station on the proposed main line to Oxford and Aylesbury, thereby establishing a direct communication between those important places. - Application fbr shares may be made, in the annexed form, to the following sharebrokers :—Londien : Mr. W.

Description Residence .... Reference to GRAND JUNCTION, GREAT WESTERN, and SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY JUNCTION. At a Public Meeting of the Inhabitants of Bicester, held Oct. 3, 1845, the following Resolutions were passed : " That a line of Railway throng it Bicester, connecting that town with the Great Western line at 514.11411, and the Oxford and Rugby line at Hayford, is, in the opinion of this meeting, highly desirable, and would tend greatly to benefit the town and its vicinity." " That the line of railway to be called the Grand Junction, Great Western, and South-Western Railway Junction, appears to this meeting the most comprehensive scheme, and as affording to the t•wn of Bicester and its neighbouthood every facility required. This meetieg cordially co-operates with the Provisional Committee of the above Railway."

This line is projected by the Norfolk Railway Company and the Grand Union Railway Company, and it will form a connecting link between those two lines. Leaving the station of the Norfolk Company at Brandon, the line proceeds via Downham Market to Wisbech, and from thence to Spald ing, being a distance of about 40 miles. At the latter town it joins the Grand Union Railway, which continues via Grantham to Not tingham, thus completing a direct and independent line of communi cation between Yarmouth and Norwich, and Nottingham and the manufacturing districts. The distance between the termini will be as short by the proposed route as by the Lynn and Ely and Lynn and Dereham lines ; whilst the traffic between Nottingham. Yarmouth, and Norwich, and the central, west, and south parts of Norfolk, the north of Cambridge shire, and the counties of Suffolk and Essex, being under the control offriendly Companies, will be secured for this undertaking. Estimates for the traffic are in course of preparation. In the mean time It may be stated that, from the data already furnished respecting some of the important loca sties through which the line passes, added to the fact that it forms part of a direct course of railway communi cation between Manchester and the surrounding manufacturing dis tricts, and the ports of Yarmouth and Lynn, there is no doubt an ample remuneration will be secured for the shareholders. Satisfactory arrangements have been made with the Eastern Counties Railway Company in reference to that portion of the line between Wisbech and Spalding, which has been agreed to be leased by them from the Wisbech and St. Ives Company. If the Wisbech and St. Ives Company succeed in their application to Parliament, the line to be made by this Company will be limited to that part between Wisbech and Brandon ; and in either case the two Companies promoting this line have agreed to take a lease of it at a rental equal to 4 per cent. on the outlay, and a moiety of the sur plus profits. In the allotment of shares preference will be given to the share hoUlers of the Norfolk and Grand Union Railway Companies.

This line will diverge front the line of the Great Eastern and Western Railway, near Worcester, and proceeding by Brom yard, will end at Leominster, at which point it will unite with the proposed lines connecting Hereford and Shrewsbury' with North Wales. The communication by railway between these important towns and the continuous hop and cider districts has been entirely left unprovided for by existing arrangements, and this line is brought forward under the auspices of the Great Eastern and Western Railway Company, on the stroni representations and request of a large and raost influential body of the landed gentry of the neigh bourhood. The object proposed is to make a direct communication between Leominster, Bromyard, and Worcester, which latter town has always been the natural market for the produce of these districts, and to af ford the inhabitants the most direct communication with London, as compared with other lihes, by upwards of 30 miles. No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the act is ob tained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at 41. per cent. on all calls from the time of their respective payments, as well as to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscrip tions.

This Company has been formed for the purpose of opening a line of railway communicatio4. between Calais and Bruges, passing through Important districts of France and Belgium containing a population of above 600,000 inhabitants, and forming a junction with the State Railway at Bruges, which has now become the most direct route to the interior of Belgium, Germany, Prussia, and the countries east of the French frontier. In laying before the public the prospectus of this proposed line, it may be mentioned as one of its principal advantages, that it will reduce the passage from London to Brussels, now occupying twenty-four or twenty-six hours, under the most favourable circum stances, and'often thirty or forty, to twelve hours, rendering it prac ticable to make the journey with ease in one day, and at two-thirds of the present expense. The long, tedious, and uncertain sea voyage will also be avoided from Dover to Ostend, which, to travellers gene rally, and particularly to ladies and invalids, is exceedingly dis agreeable, and often attended with serious consequences. It can hardly admit of a question, that the principal part of the passenger traffic between tho two capitals, London and Brussels, to gether witk the passenger traffic of the populous cities of Antwerp, and Ghent, the latter being the Manchester of Belgium, and the im portant towns of St. Nicholar and Tierlmond, will be, under these circumstances, drawn into this channel; and another imprtant ad vantage to the public, and source of revenue to the Company, will be found in the transmission of the Belgian, German, and Prussian mails, which are now conveyed by steamers from Dover to Ostend, at a very considerable expense, and with much less certainty and ex pedition than if transmitted to Calais, a sea passage of only 24 miles, and usually made in two hours. The traffic and expenditure may be fairly estimated as follows : From 50,000 passengers, who, according to the recent re turns from Ostend and Antwerp, annually visit the Conti nent and return by this route, say, from each, on an ave rage, 10s. each way X 50,000 For the transport of mails from the respective Oovernmenta 10,t.00 Local traffic in goods and passengers 50,000 Deduct the expenses of working the, ooo line, calculat e d at ...• l3o£loooo Thus leaving a profit of 1 0 !4 per cent. to th e s h are holders, £B o ; e rth every respect of a consid , :raldo increase an nua ll y in the traffic, has been by experience pawed to be. the result on a ll t h e other lines in operation in Belgium, a., well as other countries. The projected railroad would pass through a perfectly level tract o f country rich in agricultaral productions, presenting no natural impediments to its construction, and would require neither tunnels nor viaducts ; and the only bridges necessary would be the spanning of a few dykes. Thus the construction would be unattended with heavy expense, and its working, when completed, of the same eco nomical character; for, as experience has shown, the most consider able item is working a railway is the supply of coal for the locomo tives ; the proximity to the port of Dunkirk, and the easy access to the Belgian coal fields, obviate this difficulty. This line, which has been already examined by an eminent engi neer, will be about sixty miles in extent from one extremity to the other ; will connect in its route the towns of Calais, Gravelines, and Dunkirk, in France, with Furness, Nieuport, and Bruges, in Bel gium ; thus securing a very important local traffic in goods and pas sengers, independent of the fereign . tratfic before alluded to, placing the possibility of its paying beyond all doubt. Arrangements are in progress and strongly supported bypersons of the highest influence both in Belgium and France for obtaining the consent of the Belgian and French Governments to the above line ; and as it is obviously the intention of the latter Government to en. courage the formation of a continuous line of railway round the coast, little doubt is entertained by the Directors of such applications proving successful. Application for prospectuses and forms of application may be made at the Company's offices, and the offices of the solicitors, 5, Basins hall-street; and to the following brokers:— London—Messrs.

The object of this line of railway is to connect, by a direct route, the important town and seaport of Bostoa with tha centre of Eng land, by way of Grantham and Melton Mowbray, where It will join the Syston and Peterborough branch of the Midland Counties Railway. It is unnecessary to enlarge upon the advantages which will arise from this railway, which passes through one of the richest and most fertile parts of England. The population is dense, and a glance at the map will show that this line is well laid ont, not only for the direct traffic from Leicester and the Intermediate places to Boston, but also for the general traffic which will no brought to this line by the several railways which will be connected with it. By this railway, which will be about forty-four miles in length, and laid through a country nearly level, it is intended jo pass by or near Swinlshead, Donington, Folkingham, Grantham, Stoke, Roch ford, and Mellon Mowbray. It is evident that this line will be o great convenience and utility, by affording to a part of the country at present deprived of it the advantage of railway commnnication with the counties of Rutlandshire, Leicestershire, Northampton shire, Warwickshire, 844., and thus connecting the agricultural districts of Lincolnshire with the manufacturing parts of England, affording to the latter an easy and accessible means of export for their manufactures. In the allotment of shares, holders in the Midland Counties Rail way will receive a preference, and reservation will be made for the landed interests along the line, whose concurrence and assistance is fully relied on by the promoters, by whom most of the influential landholders have been canvassed ; and, in order to prevent unnes sary trouble, no other applications will be received except those 'Wherein reference is made to a member of the Provisional Commit. tee, to the Solicitors or Bankers, or the following Sharebrokers, from whom prospectuses and plans may be obtained Messrs Sutton, Gribble, and Sutton, Royal Exchange Messrs.
