The length of the proposed line will be about sixty miles, and the district t7aversed by it is gently undulating and dehsely peopled. At Its southern terminus, Swindon, it becomes identical with the South and Midlands, by means of which it opens a most direct communica tion hitherto suggested with the harbours of Weymouth, Christ church, Poole, and §ontllampton. At its northern terminus, Illr- Ingham, it communbegtOS with a series of lines, projetted, in pro gress, or completed, which will form the most direct line that can ever probably be constructed between the southern ports of England and the great manufacturing districts. In the alliance of lines forming the Weft Midland, Manchester and Southampton Railway project, a combination of advantages pre sents itself—the result of a design, to a great extent, but of contin gencies also. If it be desirable that the terminus of every railway should be situated at some commercial or populous place, in this re spect the present project is pectiarly fortunate. If Government be resolved on countenancing the shortest and most direct lines, it will be seen, by laying a rule on the map of England from Salisbury to Manchester, that a course due north and south between these places will pass very nearly through the towns mentioned in this prospectus, as being on the proposed line; and actual measurement has shown this line to be the shortest between Southampton and Manchester by 2G miles. By the construction, therefore, of little more than 60 miles of rail, as here proposed, the shortest, most direct, and convenient communication between Manchester and Southampton will be es tablished --a line, also, however superior in position to ethers pro mising similar advantages, may yet be considered as competing with none, but as an independent work, originating at Birmingham and terminating i n th e seaports of Weymouth, Christchureh, Poole, and Southampton. In the allotment of shares in this Company the Directors propose • giving a preference to shareholders in the South and Midlands' Junction Railway Company. Applications for prospectuses and plans may be made, and forms of application for shares had, at the Office of W. B. Jaynes, Esq., Solicitor, 5, Basinghall-street ; and of the following gentlemen:-- London—Messrs, Peppercorn, 2, Old Broad-street ; Mr. J. B.

Parratt and Walmsley, Palau.- yard, Westminster While two gigantic projects are struggling for victory, which, if obtained, would inevitably prove fruitless, the dense and wealthy population bet Ween Lincoln and York, and between Lincoln and Leeds, are left unsupplied with railway accommodation. Not less ambitious cf accomplishing a great public benefit, the projectors of the Lincoln, York, and Leeds Junction Railway have adopted Lin coln (with 30,000 inhabitants), York (with 40,000), and Leeds (with 1 152,000), as the termini of their line ; and, calculating upon the ulti mate success of the Cambridge and Lincoln Bill in the ensuing ses sion of Parliament, propose to complete the whole line of rail from London to York and Leeds by the execution of this design. Leaving Lincoln, the proposed line will be taken by Saxelby and Lea to Gaiilsborough, where it will cross the Trent, and thence to Haxey-gate, whence a branch will issue to Doncaster. At this lat ter place a communication will be formed with projected lines from Manchester and Sheffield to the port of Goole ; and by this arrange ment a communication will be opened with the inexhaustible coal fields of Elsecar and Silkstone—a speeies not inferior to that of Dur ham and Sunderland—as well as with the limestone quarries at Warmsworth, so valuable for building purposes. Proceeding to Thorne, the line reaches Snaith, and, continuing its direct course westward to Selby, near to which it is crossed by the hull and Selby Railway, w ill h ave its northern terminus at the city of York. At Thorne, or some convenient point near to it, an auxiliary line will emanate from the main trunk to Askern, and either by means of the proposed branch to the Wakefield, Pontefract and Goole line to that place, or by an independent course, as may hereafter be deter mined upon, will run through Pontefract direct to Leeds. By this means the whole of the manufacturing districts of the West Riding of Yorkshire and Lancashire will be rendered easily accessible. This line will be the shortest between Lincoln and York ; Lincoln and Leeds ; Lincoln and Selby ; York and Selby ; and York and Hull. The gradients throughout the line are so favourable, that none exceed 1534 feet in the mile, an instance unparalleled, if the length of it be taken into consideration. There will be no tunnels ; the works will everywhere 131 light; no invasion of ornamental property is neces sary; and the local interests have expressed themselves favourable to the project. From the combination of advantages, facilities, and patronage from the great breadth of new country to be supplied with railway accommodation—moderate cost of labour on the line —enormous supply of materials, and encouraging traffic returns—an interest of ton per cent. on vested capital is confidently expected, exclusive of a fair allowance for working expenses. Power will be taken In the Bill to allow interest at the rate of four per cent. on all deposits. The plans and sections of the Lincoln, York, and Leeds Company, being now in the possession of the promoters of this Company, an immense saving of expense will thereby be gained.

The Extension Line will be made by the two Companies jointly, and the shares will be apportioned amongst the respective share holders of each. It is intended that the Norfolk and Grand Union Companies should guarantee four per cent dividend, with a division of profits to' the shareholders of the new line.

The importance of connecting remote parts of England by Rail ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns and districts, can scarcely be better exemplified • than by the Line which is now proposed to form a short and direct channel of inter course between Oxford and Salisbury. Numerous projected lines now before the public will make Oxford at the north, and Salisbury at the south of the intended Railroad the central points from which various radii will diverge to the north-west, north, and north-east of the former, and to the east, south, and west of the latter; and the proposed Line from Cambridge to Oxford, continuing to that city the course of Railway from the north-eastern parts of the island, requires the appliance now suggested to effect a complete means of transit to the western and south-western counties.' The Oxford and Salisbury Direct Railway, in addition to the benefits which will be conferred upon the nation at large, by preferring a direct line of commun'cation . be tween the north-eastern and western and south-western parts of England, will afford to the borough of Abingdon, the market towns of Wantago, Hungerford, and Ludgershall, and the adjacent villages, an important railway accommodation, of which the agricultural districts in which they • are seated stand in much need, and will provide a facility for the interchange of produce be tween tho rural, manufacturing, and commercial population of the kingdom. The want of railway accommodation has long been felt to press unfairly upon the inhabitants of the important and thriving town of Abingdon. Their means and opportunities of competing with the more fortunate traders of those towns which are already provided with di rect channels of transit, are thus severely crippled. The same remark applies in some degree to the market town of Vantage, which, as well as Hungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits and advantages produced by railway traffic. It has therefore been determined to commence the proposedli ne at Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdon to the station of the Great Western Railway at Steventon, thus giving to Abingdon a direct rail road to London. By continuing the projected railway to Vantage, the same facility of transit to London will be afforded to that place; and a perfect line of road from the north-eastern counties will, by a junc tion with the projection from Cambridge to Oxford, be produced, through the towns which have been named, Ilungerford and Ludgers hall to Salisbury, and thence to tke south and western ports and dis tricts. A map of the line, and a statistical report of the whole country Intended to be traversed, is in course of preparation, and with the names of an influential provisional Committee, will very shortly be published. In the meantime, further information may be ob tained from. Messrs. Elmslie and Preston, 47, Moorgate-street, London, solicitors t 6 the undertaking, to whom, at present, applica tion for olowes may be made. _____.......„........., if YNN and ELY RAILWAY- COMPANY.

This railway is intended to commence at the east part of the city of Exeter, neat St. Sidwells, and after passing through Topsham, with a fork at Woodbury by Lympstone to Exmouth, will proceed, in an easterly direction, towards Sidmouth, and thence, near Colyton, Beer, Seaton, Axmouth,- Lyme Regis, and Charmouth, to Bridport. At Bridport the line will divide, taking the course direct to Dor chester, to join the Southampton and Dorchester Railway, and the other, passing near Bridport harbour and Abbotsbury to Weymouth. At Exeter, junctions will be formed with the Bristol and Exeter and North Devon Railways, and at Exmouth with the South Devon, by means of their steam ferry, thus making the most direct route to Plymouth from London. Also at Dorchester and Weymouth it will be connected with the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, as well as with the Dorchester and Southampton at Dorchester. It will be seen, on reference to the map, that by forming a junc tion with the lines of coast railway that have already been con structed or commenced from Exeter westward, and friar Dorchester eastward, and by following the coast as nearly as is practicable be tween its termini, this line will effectually complete a railway com munication from Dover to the Land's End, an undertaking in itself ofgreat national importance, and likely to meet with the cordial sup port of the Government. In fixing the course which this Railway will take, it has been the carefld consideration of the Promoters to project caliy such a Line as will afford the greatest facility of communication to the populous and important towns and fashionable watering places which are situated on and near that part of the Coast which this Railway is particu larly meant to accommodate; whilst, at the same time, the Agri cultural, Manufacturing, and Commercial Interests of this part of the Kingdom have been equally studied. This Line will also open such additional means of eemmanleation to the Port of Weymouth, the large Manufacturing Town and Har bour of Bridport, and the Harbour of Lyme Regis, as must even tually replace them in that high position, when compared with the other Ports of the Kingdom, which they formerly held. The Water ing Places of Exmouth, B udleigh-Salterton, Sidmouth, Charmouth, Lyme-Regis, Weymouth, &c., will be thus thrown open to every part of England and Wales, and accommodated with that facility of ac cess which they alone require to place them on an equal position with other favourite places of resort, for which the picturesque In land and bold Coast-Scenery of Devonshire and Dorsetshire is pre eminently proverbial, and justly entitles them to hold. The following extract from the Report of the Select Committee of the House of Lora on the " Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Rail way," made on the 18th of June, 1345, will show the sense enter tained by that body of the importance of a line of railway in the di rection proposed by the present Company :—" In making their re port, the Committee feel it their duty to state that the great diffi culty with them, in deciding on the Bill referred to them, had arisen from the fear they entertained whether, in allowing the Groat Western Railwa might ome down to the sea at Weymouth, or even be low Yeovil, they not be creating a difficulty as to making a railway in the most desirable manner to Falmouth, the most westerly port in the Channel." The great importance of this railway may be further estimated, from a consideration of the fact that the local population which would be benefited by its construction exceeds two hundred thousand persons. And also that Weymouth, which will be one of the termini of the line, is about to become a great Nationil Harbour of Refuge and Packet-station, by the construction of a breakwater in Portland Roads, in accordance with the recommendation of the Government Commissioners, for which purpose a grant was made during the last session of Parliament for commencing the works. The additional population and traffic, which will thus be attracted to this port, will be very considerable. A preliminary survey has been made, and there are no peculiar engineering difficulties. The length of the main line, ftom Exeter to Dorchester, will be about fifty-two miles; and of the Forks, or exten sions, to Weymouth, and Exmouth, about sixteen miles ; making, in the whole, sixty-eight miles of railway. The sentiments of the landowners are favourable to the construc tion of a railway calculated, as this is, very greatly to benefit their properties, and in the allotment of shares preference will be given to the applications of persons locally interested. Estimates of the traffic have been carefully prepared by the pro moters of the line, from 'which it is evident that an ample re turn will be obtained for the investment of capital in the undertak ing. More detailed traffic tables will, however, be forthwith com piled, as required by the Committees of both Houses of Parliament. The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at 4/. per cent. on the amount of deposit and calls from tke passing of the Act until the completion of the line, and the liability of Shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions. Applications for copies of the prospectus, and for shares, may be made to the Secretary, at the Company's Offices, 62, Moor gate-street ; to the solicitors and local agents ; also to the fol lowing sharebrokers :—Messrs.

It appears that England will be divided longitudinally by four great lines of railway, which will become so many main trunks, ing and intersect e d by numerous lines, both transverseandinotelirgeuce, opening rapid and ready conlMunication with the intermediate dis tricts, with packet station, and with seaport towns. The more easterly of these, which is also the longest, originating at Newcastle upon-Tyne, and passing through York, Peterborough, and Cambridge, may be said to terminate in London, whence all places are accessible. The second line, counting westward, is more tortuous, and has also a common northern terminus with the preceding, by which its ad vantages are materially restricted. This line, descending the Ere wails Vale, and passing through Rugby and Oxford, becomes a South ampton line by falling into the South-Western Railway at Basing stoke. The third longitudinal line, or the most westerly, is still more de fective in design than the preceding; employing the steep and narrow railway called the Birmingham and Gloucester as its first link, it traverses nearly in a right line the least populous and most undulating • Capital 2,400,0001., in 120,000 Shares of 201. each, Spanish reale (Vellon) 2,000, 500.

The present Company has been formed for the construction of a line of railway from Madrid to the cityand port of Valencia, the most central seaport on the Mediterranean. It will open out the re sources of an extensive district of country, eastward from the capital, remarkable for the richness and fertility of Its soil, the varied abun dance of its productions, and the commercial spirit of its inhabitants. This railway is authorised by a special ordinance of her 3lajesty the Queen of Spain; and from its vast importance as a national route of intercommunication her Majesty has been pleased to accompany the grant with all the privileges and immunities which the Crown is empowered to confer upon a railway company. Amongst these may be enumerated 1. A lease of the line and of its branches for 99 years. 2. The gratuitous grant of such Government and corporation lands as may be required for the railway. 3. The free use of all timber, the property of the State, that may be necessary for the works, or for other purposes. 4. The exemption for tea years, to be computed from the com mencement of the works, of all import duties on the machinery, rails, and other articles requisite for the completion of the railway. 5. The entire exemption from all national and local taxes that could otherwise be levied upon the railway, works, or buildings of any description, and upon the capital represented by the shares. 6. The Government is not to interfere with the Company's tariff of charges for the space of forty years from the completion of the works ; and no revision thereof is to take place on the expiration of that period that can sink the profits below 15 per cent. 7. The line is to be classed, by a spe c i a l law, under the title of a " work of public utility," and as such to enjoy the royal patronage an&protection, and all the peculiar privileges attached to important national undertakings. The proposed line, thus largely endowed, is about 240 miles in length, being upwards of 150 miles nearer the capital than the ports of Cadiz and the north coast of Spain, and generally nearer than any other port in the kingdom. Although it has not yet been minutely surveyed, it is well known that there is no similar district of equal extent in the kingdom which presents so few engineering difficulties. For upwards of 80 miles the line will traverse the almost level plain of Valencia ; and emerging from the boundaries of the province, it will follow as nearly as possible the course of the rivers which flow east and west from the central plateau in the province of Cuenca, and approach Madrid by the valley of the Manzanares. The line will either pass through or accommodate the most important towns in the two provinces, which will thus be brought into rapid com munication with the capital on the one side, a seaport on the other. This railway will be the means of supplying Madrid, containing 300,000 inhabitants, entirely dependent for provisions upon the con tiguous provinces, at a cheap rate, with the rich products of the pro vinces of Valencia, which abounds in most valuable mines, and is beyond comparison the most fertile district of Spain. Valencia, brought by this communication within ten 'hours' dis tance of the chief market of Spain, must necessarily become the port at which all vessels with supplies for the metropolis will unload, and the centre of the coasting trade along the whole sea-line from Barcelona to Gibraltar. The traffic in passengers and goods now existing between Madrid and Valencia has been correctly ascertained, showing the following results : The annual number of passengers travelling between Madrid and Valencia, and the intermediate towns, is upwards of 42,000 ; but taking that number at tho present cost of conveyance by stage coaches, private carriages, galeras, and waggons, the amount will be £67,800 The annual weight of goods conveyed between the two intermediate r terg a d nis e iate loe st a ima lities ted is a 4 t ,900,001 ev, from m es a w n h d ic til e h th • • 1,223,400 Assuming that two•fifths only of the existing charges become a source of revenue to the railway, and that the tariff be reduced considerably below the State tariff of Belgium, there will be deducted .. £1,291,200 752,320 Remains .• X 53 • ,sBO Supposing that the present traffic will only be doubled by the railway, although experience has proved the increase to be equal to 300 and 400 per cent., there will be added ..538'880 And add For the transport of troops, military stores, ice., which the Government will substitute for the conveYance , waggons .. • • 25 per Cent., at the least, for the Alicant traffic From which deduct nearly 50 per cent. for maintenance of way, &c. • • • • • • " • • " ' • £1,077,760 50,000 215,952 £1,343,712 671,256 1 Leaving A net profit capital.

One-third of the shares are, by the terms of the concession, con ceded to Spain. The locale of the Company will be in Spain, and it will be Named on the principle of a companies anoninul, agreeably to the commercial code of that country. The affairs of the Company will be conducted by a Board of Di rectors in London, assisted by a highly influential - Committee in Madrid. The remuneration to the Directors will be made in ac cordance with the plan usually adopted in continental railways, and that to the Concessionaires consists of a mere Contingent interest in two - twentieths of net profits, after five per cent, shall have been se cured to the shareholders.

This railway is intended to commence at or near Buckfastleigh, and to join the South Devon Railway at Ford, near Newton ; dis tance, ten miles. This railway, by forming a direct communication with the great trunk line of the county, will open for the manufacturing towns of Ashburton and:Buckfastleigh, and the adjacent agricultural district, the readiest access to the ports of Teignmouth and Torquay, and to the important and increasing markets which these towns and the other watering places on the south coast, as well as Newton, present for the disposal of all kinds of agricultural produce. Ashburton and the surrounding district, rich in mineral wealth, only require a cheap and easy mode of transit to unfold their trea sures, which have hitherto been raised only sparingly, in conse quence of the expense of land carriage. Within the average distance of two miles of Ashburton are thirteen lime kilns, at which are now burnt annually above 50,000 hogsheads of lime. Five slate quarries, in some of which the slate is of the best quality, and has received the approval of some of the first London architects. And within the district which would derive benefit from this railroad, are six tin and copper mines in work, and three more are now about to be worked. The manufactured goods of Ashburton and the adjacent district are of very considerable value—the woollen manufacture alone gives em ployment to nearly 3,000 persons. Large quantities of timber are annually felled and sent to the sea coast, from the wooded district at the back of Ashburton. It has been ascertained that the number of persons travelling from this district to and from the east of Ashburton, amounts to about one thousand weekly. The romantic scenery of the Dart, near Ashburton, now attracts yearly a great influx of visitors. The opening ofthis railway would, by bringing the banks of the Dart within easy access of Exeter, and all the watering places on the southern coast, doubtless much increase the number. To the manufacturer and merchant, the formation of this railway would afford a great boon, by establishing a cheap and easy transit for their goods; to the agriculturist, the saving of one -seventh in the present price of lime would offer a manifest advantage; and on the inhabitants of the district generally great benefit would be conferred by the reduction of at least 251. per cent. in the price of coal and other articles. The Provisional Committee, after careful inquiries as to the antici pated traffic, have reason to believe that the net return will pay a handsome rate of interest on the capital required. The population of the district to be benefited by this railway is above 16,000 The line presents no engineering difficulties. The Directors of the South Devon Railway Company with the authority of a general meeting of their Proprietors, have agreed to take shares to a considerable amount, and are acting in cordial co operation with the Provisional Committee. The arrangements with the South Devon Board embrace a provision for leasing the line on its completion to that Company, and provide for the supervision of the planning and construction of the line by Mr. Brunel. The advantages of attracting to this undertaking the important combination of interests represented by the South Devon Company and its numerous alliances will be readily appreciated. Power will be sought by the Act of Incorporation to allow interest at 4/. per cent. per annum on an deposits and calls from the time of payment until the opening of the line. No liability will be incurred by ary Shareholder beyond the amount of his shares. r Applications for shares may be made to the Provisional Com mittee, at their office, East-street, Ashburton; or to the Solicitors, Mr. Tucker, or Mr. George Caunter, Ashburton ; or to the following Sharebrokers :—Messrs. B. and M. Boyd, New hank-buildings, Lon don; Messrs.
