Originating at Bicester, by a junction with the Oxford and Cam bridge line through Wolverton, in connexion with the Eastern Coun ties, the South and Midlands Junction will afford facility of inter course with the metropolis in one direction, with Stafford, the Pot teries, Birmingham, Liverpool, and Manchester in the other ; near Woodstock, close to which the projected line will pals, the Oxford and Rugby and Oxford and Worcester Railways cross, presenting opportunities of entering the two great railway arteries of the king dom—the Great Western and the London and Birmingham, the for mer at Dudcot, the latter at Rugby. Proceeding to the manufacturing town of Witney, a line Is crossed communicating with the Stroudwater district of manufactures by the •Oxford and Cheltenham Railway, thence the prejected line trends di rectly S.W., leaving Bampton to the east, antil it reaches Lechlade, a town seated at the efflux of the Thames and Severn navigation with the River Thames, and where a considerable entrepot for mer chandise Is established. Keeping within easy distances of Parringdon, Cricklade, and High worth, it reaches Swindon, a rapidly improving vicinity. At this principal station, where the broad gauge is oroSsed, the Gloucester And Cheltenham line falls into the Great Western. The intersectional the South and Midland Junction with the Great Western at Swindon opens a most extensive and valuable communi cation with London eastward; Bristol, Bath, Gleucester, Chelten- ham, Strfll, westward ; and, by the Gloucester and Aberystwith projected line, with the whole Griffith and South Wales.

The the SatisThetion of stating that the Clonmel and Kilkenny Com pany has been united with this Company, and it is now intended t Make application to Parliament, in the ensuing session , for w o to construct a line of railway from Clorunel to Kilkenny , C arlow , Pers and Wicklow, whereby the former important cities will be brou ght into direct railway communication with the metropolis of Ireland by the nearest route. Negotiations are also In progress with the Waterford and Kilkenny Company, who obtained their Act of Parliament last session, f o r iecnring the support and co-operation of that C ompany to the un d e rtaking ) , which it is confidently anticipated will terminate satis factorily. A reference to the ° m e t a l t ra fne map of the railway Commis idoners will show the great extent of the traffic between the /several towns on the line, and the prospect of its proving highly remunera tive to the shareholders. The requisite capital having been already subscribed for, the allot ment of shares will be proceeded with forthwith ; and as the project has received the unqualified approbation of the landed proprietors along the line, and Is warmly supported by the English Great Western, the Waterford, Wexford, Wicklow. and Dublin Railway Companies, and the other Irish Companies in connexion with that in terest, a portion f the Directors of the Great Western Company forming part of the Committee of Management, the sanction of Par liament to the measure may be most confidently anticipated. Applicants for shares in either Company, before their amalgama tion are at liberty to withdraw the same, if they dqpire to do so, before Monday, the 15th of September, until which time applications for shares in the Clonmel, Kilkenny, Carlow, and Wicklow Company, will be received, addressed to the Secretary, at the Company's offices, 449, West Strand, London. The capital of the Company will be augmented to 1,500,0001., in 75000, shares of 201. each, upon which a deposit of 21. will be re et • j'4 'Ada*, tckineet the new standing orders of Parliament. ...Thwdesignation of the Company will be changed to the 4, Clonmel, Kilkenny, Carlow, and Wicklow Railway Company." By order, Batt. 5, 1845. RICHARD bf. MUGGERIDGE, secretary. ~• R UGBY, DERBY, and MANCHESTER RAILWAY. OBSERVATIONS ON THE REPORT OF MR. CHARLES BLOUNT, ENGINEER TO THE COMPANY. The Provisional Committee find, by reference to the engineer's preliminary report, that the tunnels upon the line, as laid down for the Rugby, Derby and Manchester Railway, are by no means of the ordinary length or occurrence in lines of this magnitude, and that the earth works throughout are not of great difficulty or extent ; the gradients are easy, and, in many parts of the line, extending to entire districts, of a stature exceedingly favourable for the construction of railways for goods and passenger traffic at high velocities. The direction of the line, taken integrally from Rugby to Maccles field, or Manchester inclusive, or between any intermediate 'Mints, is remarkably free from a circuitous or tortuous character, and it happens most felicitously that a line so arterially important in a national point of view, and so certainly to become the great high road between the metropolis and the larger t manufacturing towns and districts of the king dom, is so free from contingent difficulty of all kinds ; while it actually passes through every important townand place situate upon the old high road between the metropolis and the part of the kingdom referred to, pre serving at the same time the strict integrity of a perfectly distinct and independent line, of between seventy and eighty miles in extent considered as a through line, as well as in its local character as a railway between any intermediate points of the line adopted : this principle has been so faithfully followed out as to render these por tions of the line of themselves amply remunerative when considered with regard to local traffic alone ; for example, any such portion of the entire line as shall be executed between Rugby and Derby, or Derby and Ashbourne, would be found presenting returns upon the capital expended in the formation of the line, amply remunerative for the capital expended on the districts to which they refer. In short, it may be announced as a fact that the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway presents the extraordinary feature that any part of its line between any two of its termini would return a profit as a local line ; that, combined, they will form a highly profitable chain of communication; and that almost the whole of the returns for the direct Manchester traffic, both of goods and passengers, to London may be set down as profit. It can hardly be wondered at that this unique and happy result should follow as a matter of course, when we consider that the old high roads (the direction of which, in a general sense, may be said to be the index line of the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway) were made for, existed for, and maintained the whole commercial intercommunication of the country through which they passed. But the constructors of the existing and projected railways having little regard to this intercommunication of the intermediate points of their termini, have laid down their lines not sufficiently in the vicinity of these through lines or high roads, and have therefore divested and destroyed the local traffic of each ludividual district. . To restore, therefore, the original balance of traffic and intercom munication between each terminus of this important line, in its ori ginal and natural direction—taking, at the same time the towns, districts, places, and population—has been the object of the promoters of this measure ; and a special and laborious inquiry by the en gineer, Mr. Charles Blount, has been devoted to this point. The argument which that gentleman adduces for maintaining the principle of going directly through the towns or places proposed to be served by the construction of a railway may be described as fol lows—viz., that in the construction of the old high roads, in what ever part of this kingdom, the engineers who laid them out of neces sity kept in view the shortest possible route lines presenting the easiest inclinations, and lines, which, in all cases, without exception, were directed through the towns presenting the greatest population, and having consequently the greatest need of an easy and a rapid means of intercommunication. Reference to the best maps of this kingdom will exhibit the population, and in consequence the manu facturing districts actually on such lines of common high roads. It might be matter of curious rather than useful inquiry to ascertain how far the towns and places may have enlarged or followed the thread of the direction, or whether their existence and their necessi rtekniatrunt449_4'JA, can preserve its own integrity as a through line for goods or pas sengers traffic, and also preserve at the same moment the shortest and meet direct course between its starting point and its extremity, while it at the same time maintains its same value and relationship between the intermediate places, is manifestly the line to be adopted. Such a line Is the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway. There are but two efficient reasons (and those are most question able) for diverting a main or a trunk line from the lay or dispositions of the towns, or the wants or exigencies of the districts. These may be said to be—that the line presents engineering difficulty in the con struction ; for more uniform or better gradients and less costly works, or otherwise, in an engineering sense, possess some extraordinary ad vantages ; or it may be that the second position to which we have referred shall justify the diversion of the line by reason that it will greatly, or to an important extent, shorten the distance between the two great termini. When, therefore, we find a project laying claim to a district simply because it possesses one solitary feature (save that it may be for a few miles, of no very important number, the short over lines of communication already existing, or over others projected in the same direction), studiously pursuing and threading the long-established stream of population, of manufactures, agricul tural and other produce of every kind, it becomes matter of serious and grave inquiry whether a few miles extra in a line of such extent as the one projected between the metropolis and the town of Mae cbester, but which avoids and sacrifices the moral and commercial interests enumerated, be considered as therefore presenting any real claim to the support of the great communities so largely and so va riously interested in this great question. In times when the means of intercommunication were confined to canals and common roads alone, a saving of eight or ten miles in a run or count of from 100 to 200 miles WAS certainly a matter of safficient importance to justify the old road and canal engineers in adopting a deviation from the great principles which we have laid down as having formed the base or index line of all their operations. The physical re volution which railways, in their construction, have worked upon the commercial relations of this country, and the well-being and the so cial conditions of the people, may not inaptly be said to carry with it its own great means of proving and carrying out in actual practice the seemingly anomalous position of the fhrthest way about the nearest. A short proof of this position of our argument is, that a small deviation from the direct course to meet and to serve great ends is proved to be elementally no objection, time, in fact, being consi dered as annihilating the position of distance. We have used this argument as telling decidedly in favour of those who:may require its assistanceito carry out the relative or other advan tages. of projected lines, rather than that it affords us any other services , anc he n ste of r th ß e ai e l n w g a l y ne , to that pree-yccdeavlZinceral exposition h po c r ia t tr , acterises the maps of our existent railways.

This Line, which, subject to the decision of the Gauge Commis sioners, will be constructed on the Broad Gauge principle, will com mence at the Worcester Station of the Great Eastern and Western Railway, and, proceeding by Redditch and Henley-in-Arden, will touch Warwick and Leamington, and end at Rugby, the terminus of the Midland Counties Railway and of the proposed Rugby and Hunt ingdon Junction Railway. It will communicate with Droitwich, Studley, Alcester, and Stratford-on-Avon. At Warwick, it will unite with the Birmingham and Oxford Junc tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway • and at Rugby, with the London and Birmingham, the Midland Counties, and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railways. The country through which it will pass, is thickly populated, and of the richest description. It presents no engineering difficulties, and from its population, its manufactures, and agricultural produce, it possesses sources of such abundant traffic as to render it highly re munerative to the Capitalists. The object proposed is to complete the line of railway communica tion between the Western, Midland, and Eastern portions lof the Kingdom, and a glance at the Map of England will show that this will be effected in the most direct manner by the present line ; touch ing, as it will, at one of its termini, a railway running direct from Swansea to Worcester, and at the other, the projected line from Rugby to Huntingdon—from which point a railway communication has been already provided. By means of this Railway, the manufactures of all the towns and the agricultural produce of the country contained within its range, as well as the Ports on the Eastern and North-Eastern Coast, will have opened to them a direct and unbroken communication with the great and densely-populated mineral fields of New South Wales, as well as the markets of the markets of the Northern portion of the principality. The advantages of a direct railway carriage over the more tedious process of carriage by water, to say nothing of the economy in saving the expense, as well as the damage incident to many kinds of goods by the frequent transhipment required by the latter, are too obvious to demand more than this slight allusion. To the population: along the line as well as to the Midland and Northern portions of the kingdom, this undertaking will present the most direct communication with those towns of fashionable resort— Leamington and Cheltenham. To the inhabitants of Leamington and Warwick, it will open the most direct communication with the city of Worcester and South Wales, whilst to the inhabitants of Worcester, it will open the markets of the Eastern portions of the country. The Shareholders in the several railways proposed to be joined or intersected, will have a preference in the allotment of shares in this undertaking. No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the Act is obtained, and power will be applied for to allow Interest at four pounds per centum on all calls from the time of their respective payments, and to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscription.

WILLIAM WILDE, Secretary. September 6, 1845. RUGBY, DERBY, AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY, THROUGH LEEK. (Provisionally registered, pursuant to 7th and Bth Vic., c. 110.) Capital, 1,500,000/. in 60,000 Shares of 251. each. Deposit 11. 7s. 6d. per Share. In deference to the representations of a deputation from Leek, it has been decided that the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway shall pass through Leek, in place of a branch, as originally designed and advertised. The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway is a direct line from London to Manchester, coming from London to Rugby, along the London and Birmingham line, and proceeding from Rugby by Hinck ley, through Market Bosworth, and Ashby-de-la-Zouch, to Derby, thence to Ashboume, by Leek, to Macclesfield, and along the Mac clesfield and Stockport, and Stockport and Manchester Railways into Manchester. A branch to Buxton is in contemplation. The principle of this railway is to obtain a direct through line be tween some of the most important districts in the kingdom with the least possible amount of new railway, and consequently the smallest expenditure of capital. It will also establish the shortest direct communication between Derby and London, Sheffield and London, and between all the towns on the North Midland Railway and London. The Manchester, Derby, and Rugby Railway will open a direct communication between Manchester and Derby, and will consider ably shorten the distance between Manchester and Nottingham and Manchester and Leicester. The line from Derby to Rugby will establish the direct communi cation from that town to London, which has been so long considered desirable by the inhabitants. The same will apply to Sheffield, when the Sheffield and Chester field branch of the North Midland Railway is made. THE GREAT ADVANTAGES of the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway through Leek over the other projects into Manchester, among others, are— First, That there are only seventy-five miles of railway to be made, in place of one hundred and eighty-nine. Secondly, That it is a more direct line from London to Manchester than even the proposed direct lines. Thirdly, That it interferes with no existing railway property or vested interests. Fourthly, That it passes through a district rich in manufactures, agriculture, and minerals, but which—more especially as regards its agricultural produce, and a convenient system of intercommunication for the conveyance of that agricultural produce, to supply the large manufacturing towns in the vicinity—has been hitherto left totally without railway communication. Fifthly, That it passes through the towns in its route, in place of avoiding them. Sixthly, That the whole line of railway from Rugby to Manchester will be completed and in working order within ten months from the passing of the Act of Parliament. Seventhly, That the maps, plans, estimates, and other documents required by the standing orders of Parliament, will be lodged with the Parish Clerks, the Clerks of the Peace for the Counties, and the Parliamentary offices, on the 10th day of November next, being, twenty days within the time required by the regulations of Parlia ment. The Report of the Engineer of the Company is already completed, and will be made public in a few days, upon which a further and full prospectus, with the names of the Provisional Directors, will be published.

The Committee of Management have determined, with the powers given them by the deed of the Company, to relinquish the branch from Ludlow to Newtown, which will form a necessary part of the Worcester and Port Dynllaen line projected by the Great Western Railway Company, and to reduce their proposed capital from 1,250,0001. to 1,000,0001. As the new standing order of the House of Lords will require 10 per cent. of the proposed capital to be deposited, the Committee have also determined, in order to obviate the necessity of a further call on Shareholders before going to Parliament, to distribute the capital into shares of 251., deposit 21. I2s. 6d. ; allowing holders of the pre sent 501. shares to receive twice as many 251. shares, or any smaller number they may wish (subject to approval of the names by the Committee where their shares were not originally allotted to them), or if any should wish to withdraw, returning them the deposits of 21. 15s. per share which have been paid up. All holders of scrip certificates, or of bankers' receipts, are requested to forward the same to the Secretary on or before SATURDAY, the 20th of September, and to state at the same time their wishes with respect to new Shares, by letter in the form below. All holders of Shares not originally allotted to them, failing to transmit their scrip certifi cates on or before that day, will forfeit all benefit of their Shares, and original Shareholders, failing by the same day to transmit their scrip certificates or bankers' receipts, will forfeit their right to an additional number of Shares. Where the scrip certificates or bankers' receipts are forwarded by ,post, the letter should be registered at the post office ; the Secretary will acknowledge their receipt. The Shrewsbury and Hereford line will be made in cordial co operation with the Great Western and South Wales Companies ; and the Committee are happy to be able to announce that the surveys are being actively proceeded with.

" be constructed by this Company will commence at or near Norton Bridge (a station of the Grand Junction Railway), in the county of Stafford, and proceed from thence by Eccleshall, Oiney, Norbury, Forton, Newport, Donnington Wood, Oaken Gates, Priors Lee, Stirchley, Dawley, Madeley, and Iron Bridge, to Coalbrook-dale ; there, crossing the proposed " Wor cester and Crewe Railway," it will pass along the slope of Wenbick edge, by Rushbury and Eaton-under-Haywood, to Wistanstow, in the county of Salop, where it will run into, and form a junction with the " Shrewsbury, Hereford, and North Wales Railway." The line will traverse a rich mineral district, and will have a secure and extensive traffic by the carriage of coal from the Shropshire coal-field, to a depot proposed to be formed at Wistanstow, for the supply of South Shropshire, part of Radnorshire and Herefordshire, and also from whence it will be conveyed by the " Hereford, Shrews bury, and North Wales Railway," into Montgomeryshire and the neighbouring counties, where coal does not exist. It is impossible to calculate the extent to which this traffic may be carried, as by the direct railway communication thus opened between the Shropshire coal-field, and the important manufacturing towns of Newtown and Llanidlocs, the price per ton will be reduced one-half at those places, and the flannel manufacturers, now depend ing upon water power, will, by the cheapness of coal, be enabled to employ steam, and to extend their trade in proportion to the great demand which exists for the Welsh flannels, in preference to any other. The importance of this subject will have its due weight with those who so often witness the bad effects upon the trade, caused by the stoppage of the mills from an insufficiency of water. A considerable amount of tonnage is now incurred by the Shrop shire ironmasters, for the conveyance of lime-stone from the neigh bourhood of Much Wenlock to the furnaces, by several transits of land and water carriage, whereas the proposed railway will convey it direct into the heart of the works, and at one-third of the expense. By its junction with the " Grand Junction" and the " Hereford and Shrewsbury" Railways, this line will form a direct communica tion between Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, York and Hull, and Swansea and South Wales. As a junction line alone (connecting as it will such important rail ways), a large passenger traffic may be depended upon, but when it is considered that the centre of the line passes through a densely populated mining district, and the remainder through a thriving agricultural neighbourhood, it will be obvious that a sufficient local traffic exists to pay a highly remunerative Interest on the amount of capital required to be embarked. - The line, which will not interfere with any property of an orna mental or costly character, will not exceed 46 miles in length, and will be constructed at much less than the average cost. _ The co-operation of the principal landowners on the line has been secured, and no opposition is anticipated or can be sustained against the measure. amount t l liability theirity osf subscription h p a ti r o e n ho to l d e the r s ca wil p l it be al applied for to allow interest at th e ra t s o f f our p er cen t p e r annum li sto m c it k ed ;, ab nd power A e cp w t i o ll th be e on the amount of the deposit, and upon the further calls, from the date of each payment until the opening of the line ; and the first deposit being paid, a further call will not be made until the Act Of Parliament shall h ave b een obtained.

The Bill for making a Railway from Plymouth to Falmouth, and Bill, having been both' rejected by Par t'. i h a e rn W e n e t s , and the projected South Devon Railway from Exeter to Plymouth pursuing only a winding and precarious course along the margin of the Southern Channel, the gr ea t are a of Devonshire west of Exeter, and the wh ole of the county of Cornwall, are now desti tute of railway accommodation. The object of the present undertaking is to provide an efficient sys tem of railway comm unication fo r the whole of this Western Penin sula ; and as the was te of ca p ital and time, involved in the circuitous route by Bristol , is greatly corpplain e d o f , th e l ea di ng an d indispens able feature of the project will be to obtain the most direct, punctual, and economical line between London, Falmouth, and Penzance. As t i e los r, aalreadyd and o Exeter" Companies. It was this in the hands of the " London n, Salisbury, and Yeovil Junction," which the Committee of the House of Lords, in n a nne r ddnt the South-Western , " oa ihw E uetL x hi.l e i_tn t ysw e ee r a: , :twsvi t dt h eel a sr, that project p :oe r rtrr o dhe j s,he e e cet, Dorchester, Railwayin, R th a e ll y w s a p y ea C k a o la f p i a n a t y he t4 ir report " as the line which in the late session, obliged d er ew e s s th t e s irneh of the country requir e , an d w hi c h m ust eventually pledge themselves not to the h h p c e p ob G see r s e t; a ta t nn W t be carried direct to Falmouth, the most westerly port in the Channel." Under these auspices, and with thi s s t rong ezpressioa from the Legislature, it may be considered that a continuous line of railway, from London, through Salisbury, to Yeovil and Exeter, no less than thirty miles shorter than the devious course of the Great Western Railway, is already morally secured. In order, therefore, to com plete this great national project thus suggested by the House of Lords, it remains only to extend this direct Exeter line, without change of gauge or terminus, direct to Falmouth and Penzance. The saving in actual distance thus effected, between London and Falmouth, as compared with the Great Western and its extensions, amounts to more than fifty miles; whilst the time also saved by avoiding the passage of the Hamoaze, to say nothing of all other ual to a saving of fifteen or twenty Bearing in mind, therefore , the geographical position of Falmouth dgmulftlireczumlbetioeforserie.nvroalvrleidaminentht,ataspreoqjeet, was estimated, in the recent in and Penzance, especially the great advantages of the former, as the most Westernly station for our naval and packet service, and as af fording a most secure harbour of ieflige in the event of war; and re membering, too, that this must eventually become the highway to the Mediterranean, the East and West Indies, and America, the im portance to the Admiralty and Lloyd's, of such a direct railway, with a continuous and efficient electric telegraph, can hardly be over-rated. The central district from Exeter, westward, has been recently re surveyed, and has been found to afford a main trunk line, with good locomotive gradients, attainable without engineering difficulties, and at a reasonable expense ; the general course being near or through Crediton, Bow, Hatherleigh, North Tawton, Okehampton, Launces ton, Camelford, Bodmin, St. Columb, St. Austell, (by means of a branch,) Truro, and Penryn, to Falmouth ;—at Truro, an extension diverge to Chacewater, Redruth, b w ra i n li ch to SL Ives,) Maranon, and Pen- This extension runs for more than 30 miles through the most popu lous and flourishing part of Cornwall; and the Tables of the recently rejectly West Cornwall Bill showed an existing traffic, through that district, of 101. per cent. after deducting working expenses. But as the constructing and working this line by a separate company would be productive of unnecessary expense and inconvenience to the public, the line to Penzance, as well as to Falmouth, will form an integral portion of the main work under one and the same management. From Trviro, eastward, the main line will pass several important mines; and near Bodmin will throw out a branch through the China clay district to St. Austell, and its populous mining neighbourhood. _x. construction Whim a connexion with the already constructed railway from Bod- min to Wadebridge, will open, through the port of Padstow, the best communication between Cork, the south of Ireland, and London. Advancing farther, an opportunity will occur ef establishing a traffic with the well-known Delabole Slate Quarries on the one hand, and the flourishing Caradon Mines on the other ; whilst the sand supplied by the Bude Canal, and the lime which aboands in the neighbourhood ef Launceston, will form the subject ef most considerable transport into the highly improvable agricultural districts westward and east ward. Passing onward into Devonshire, a branch will be thrown out from the main line to the port of Bideford, this opening, for the mineral produce of Wales, a market in Central Devon and Cornwall, which are destitute of coal ; and another branch will diverge southward by Tavistock to Plymouth, thus affording the most direct communica tion between those towns and Exeter. This branch being also accessible from Launceston will open for the north and West of Corn wall, and for Falmouth, a line to Plymouth, in point of time, shorter than the lately projected line across the Hamoaze from Plymouth to Falmouth. Should the traffic, nevertheless, be found to justify an other branch from a point near Bodmin, through Liskeard, to Ply mouth, such a branch may and will be constructed. Arriving within foutteen miles of Exeter, the main line will be joined from the north by a direct line from Ilfracombe and Barn staple to Exeter, and about seven miles fhrther on by the Dartmouth, Brixham, Torbay, and Exeter line, an amalgamation of which two lines is now under consideration, thus affording to these two friendly companies a direct communication from north to south, from the Bristol to the English Channel, and carrying their traffic on one com mon trunk, on to one common terminus, with the Yeovil line at Exeter. The inspection of a map will better show the importance of this comprehensive scheme, which overspreads the surface of Devon and The supply and demand crea ted by amounting to more than 600000,, Cornwall, and leaves little to be desired to give full value and effect to objects of such importance. this large area,—its population, gumption of Coal, Manure, —its Ports, situate on both Chan nels,-its Fisheries, Mi n i ng, C om mercial, and Agricultural advan tages,—its exports of C orn , Wool, and Cattle,—its probable con and general supplies,—were] fully gone into in the recent inquiry before the House of Lords, and forcibly require Increased facilities, and diminished cost of transport. The general evidence, also, given in that House, showed a good remune rative existing traffic, without any such increase as may reasonably be expected from a well-digested system of Branches; and when the further increase in passenger and general traffic, east and west, is t:ken into consideration, which must necessarily arise from bringing Falmouth, its harb our an d f ore i g n relations, and Penzance, with its much - sought climate and early markets, so m uch ne a rer to the Me tropolis, and the nort h ern an d eas t e rn parts of England than can possibly be accomplished by any other devisable railway communi cation; and when it is also borne in mind, that from the Peninsular form of the county of Cornwall, this line, when established, can have no competitor, it is not too much to assert that this project offers a very eligible opportunity for the investment of capital. The strong feeling in favour of a central line, evinced by public meetings and petitions from every part of the county of Cornwall and West Devon ; the support of Noblemen, Magistrates, Merchants, Mine-owners, and Agriculturists, in the recent struggle : the numerous and strong assuranc es o f su pp o rt a lready received from the landowners and general interests along the line ; and the hearty concurrence and co-operation of the Associated Companies, the names of whose members appear in the; Provisional Committee , leave no doubt of the successful issue of the application which will be made to Par liament in the next session. The Act to be applied for will contain the usual clauses for limiting the liabilities of Shareholders to the amount of their subscriptions, and for allowing interest at 41. per Cent. per annum, on all Calls, from the time of payment until the opening of the line. The Provisional Committee reserve ;to themselves the power of nuking such alterations in the Main Lille, or Brancheo, wig an Of ;, wil N ORTHERN LINE of FRA.?. BRANCHES.

Poole—Messrs. Ledgard and Co. The great and important object of this undertaking is to connect by a Railway in the most direct route, and of the least expensive character, the mail and shipping port of Southampton and the port and harbour of Poole, with Manchester, Liverpool, and the counties of Lancashire, Yorkshire, Cheshire, Staffordshire, and Warwick shire ; in fact, with the whole of the cotton, woollen, salt, pottery, and iron manufacturing and producing districts. It is not necessary in this case to enter into the question of ex pediency or inexpediency of railway communication, the necessity and advantage of such a measure being obvious and fully admitted. This line commencing at Cheltenham, to which point railway com munication from the north already exists, proceeds to Cirencester and Marlborough, and then passing down the peopled and fertile valley of the Avon to Salisbury, meets with the railway now con structing by way of Romsey to Southampton ; thus making the dis tance to Southampton as short as by any other practicable route, and saving the construction of twenty-three miles of railway. From Salisbury it is intended, still pursuing the valley of the Avon, to continue the line eighteen miles to Ringwood, where, meeting the Southampton and Dorchester Line, it communicates with Poole and the country below as far as Dorchester. About four miles below Marlborough it is intended to make a branch in the same course as the Kennet and Avon Canal, about eight miles long, to Devizes. It has already been stated, that it is not necessary to enter upon the question of expediency of railway communication with South ampton; but it is proper to state why the line here laid down is pre ferable to that from Marlborough by way of Ludgershall and An dover to that place. The latter is hilly, comparatively barren, and uninhabited, and consequently expensive, with very little local traffic ; and would have to depend in a commensurate degree on the through traffic for support ; it would also be necessary to make a line the whole distance, there being no existing line with which it could unite between Marlborough and Southampton. It is also open to the objection that it runs from Andover to Southampton parallel with and at a short distance ftom the South-Western line of hallway, which must necessarily leave it a very limited amount of traffic as respects that distance, even if it should not expose it to the powerful opposition of that company. On the other hand, this line passing as it does from north to south, through the heart of the county of Wilts, a distance of fifty miles, unites the whole of that county, obtains the traffic now existing between its towns, which is considerable, and affords with the aid of the branch to Devizes and the existing and projected railways, easy access from all parts of Wiltshire to the county town of Salisbury, and also to Devizes, the alternate assize town. Thus far, the greater advantages of this route as regards the line to Southampton only have been spoken of, and important as they are with reference to the interest of the shareholders, and the accom modation of the country traversed, a further advantage, not only to the sharehplders but to the public attained by this project, has yet to be stated. _ _ . . . By the formation of eighteen miles of railway between Salisbury and Ringwood, passing by the towns of Downton and Fordingbridge, the port and harbour and the town and county of the town of Poole are brought within the operation of this comprehensive seheme. The harbour of Poole admits vessels up to 400 tons burden ; and it has been confidently asserted by practical men, that by a small outlay improvements might be made to admit ships of ample quayS - alia WarermaSenfailligiVtitalq2PPßfen vesse ls,wi.th. one-twelfth of the ordinary charges at other ports in England. The existing local traffic alone would, it is calculated, be sufficient to pay the Shareholders a remunerating dividend on the outlay required for making the line from Salisbury to Ringwood. In the item of Potter's Clay alone there are annually shipped for the Potteries upwards of fifty thousand tons, which, after reaching Liverpool, have to be transmitted h 3 inland navigation about sixty miles to reach their destination, at a total cost for carriage of 20s. per ton—every ton of which would unquestionably be forwarded from Poole by this railway. The stone of the Isle of Purbeck, vast quantities of which are used for flagging and building purposes, would find a much more extensive and ready market in the interior of the country, if there were cheaper and more ready and convenient means of trans porting it. The announcement of this project has been hailed with the utmost satisfaction both in the north and throughout every district over which the line passes, as well as by every Interest identified with it, or affected by it.

The line of railway has been surveyed and laid out by the French Government. It is divided into three sections. The first from Paris to Dijon ; the second from Dijon to Chalon sur Sane; and the third from Cha lon to Lyons. The construction of the first and third of these is to be under taken by the constituted Company. The second is already in an ad vanced stage of construction, and will shortly be completed by the Government, at the charge, however, of the Company. • The line is to be completed in five years at latest from the date of the adjudication. The maximum term for the lease to be tendered for is fixed at forty-five years. The privilege of using the railway now making from Lyons to Avignon is secured, on terms of equality, to such Company as may obtain the concession of this line.
