EVENING, OCTOBER 10, 1845. One of the first objects of this Company will be to obtain a most central and accessible terminus In London, and Farringdon-street has been fixed upon for that purpose. It is proposed to make a tunnel from that point to the Groat Western station, from whence tke line will be continued in as direct a course as possible to l!olyhesd in its progress it will pass through or near to the following towns: — Rickm - answorth, Chesham, Wen: . lover, and Aylesbury; it will then Proceed to within a short distance of Bice'ster and Deddington, and from thence to Banbury ; it will touch upon Kineton or Kingtown, thence proceed onward to Strarord-on-Avon, approach within a short distance of Warwick, Alcester, and Worcester, where It will cross the Birmingham aed Gloucester Railroad near to Bromsgrove, and proceeding thence to Kidderminster, Bridgnorth, and Wenlock, near to Broseloy and Coalbrookdule, will enter the Vale of the Severn, which it will traverse to Shrewsbury; it will thence con tinue its route up the course of the Severn, and passing into the Vale of the River Vyrnwy, wit proceed to Llan-y-mynech, Llaurhaladr, and Mschnant, accommodating Welchpool, Oswestry, and Llangollen. At this point there are three passes, which have been inspected, and it remains for the engineer to select one as au entrance or passage into the Vale of the River Dee, when the line will proceed round by Corwen into the Valeta the River Alwen, from whence it will run nearly parallel with the great Holyhead Mail-ccach•road, by Pentre voelas to Capel Cerrig, it will then descend the Vale of Nant Francoa to Bangor and Holyhead. This line will In its progress feed, and be also fed by the most consi siderable railroads of the kingdom, particularly those of the Great Western ; the Birmingham, Gloucester, and Bristol; the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton ; the London and Birmingham ; and the South Staffordshire Itaflway. As this last line will connect Dudley, Bilaton, Wednesbury, Walsall, and Lichfield with the Derby Railway and the Grand Junction Railway, it would be superfluous to expatiate on the advantages of bring ing all those important centres of the coal and iron trade and other traffic, and the vast coal and iron fields of Shropshire into close intercourse, and thus establishing the cheapest and quickest means of transit between the minerals of Shropshire and the furnaces of Staffordshire, and the markets of Dublin, London, and Birmingham. The success of the undertaking is secured beyond a doubt, by the obvious fact that it will net only bring the richest mineral and manufacturing portions of England much nearer to the two capitals, but it will open for the carriage of the valuable pro duce of these districts the intermediate country not at present pos sessed of any direct line of railway counnanication. On the other hand, the Grand London and DuanA;;;;XlM;ticl Railway will give to London and the neighbourhood of Birmingham a routs to Dublin shorter by nearly seventy miles than that of any Other exist ing railroad ; and finally, enable travellers to complete the entire distance In ten hours. It will also ensure two mail deliveries in the day. . _ Up to the point where the line approaches Corwen, no engineering ditliculties are presented. At Corwon a deviation from the straight line may be requisite to avoid tunnelling, after which a straight line will be resumed to Bangor, where that already in construction will be adopted for the rest of the route to Holyhead ; or, If found de sirable, power will be taken in the Bill to continue an independent line by Beaumaris to Holyhead. After a careful investigation of the traffic arising from passengers, the conveyance of mineral and agricultural produce, and the direct transmission of the mails, the Directors fe :1 warranted in anticipating a return of at least ten per cent. on the capital invested. A treaty is in progress with a Steam Navigation Company to run powerful steamers between the harbours of Holyhead and Itingston on the arrival of the trains, so that passengers and merchandise may be booked throughout from London to Dublin, including-all the inter mediate stations, and be thus enabled to complete the entire distance in ten hours, without the Inconvenience so painfully felt of changing from the conveyance of one proprietary to that of another. The railways new in active progress in Ireland, running from Dublin north and south throughout the heart of the island, render it self evident that the chain of communication between the sister countries is, by this present undertaking, rendered .at once complete and intimate to the last degree. As the leading aim of this Company is to save time and distance, every attention of the Directors, and every advancement in science wilt bo mad* available to gain the utmost possible amount of speed, com patible with safety, the lines being formed expreally for this end ; while, finally, the very lowest rate of fares will he adopted for both passengers and traffic, and the public will find in the improvement cf the inferior carriages, and some additional comforts for those of the first class, that the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Rail way will be placed in advance of any other now existing, and in all its details will be rendered worthy an enterprise so national in its character. Application will be made for a Bill to incorporate the Company. early in the next session. The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow Interest at 4/. per cent. pzr a• num on the amount of the subscriptions paid up ; and no subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription.

SECRETARY—John retherick, Esq., pro tem. This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda and Ely Vaßies, with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles dis tsnce from the tort of Cardiff; and to open a new mineral district, ono of the richest and most important in South Wales, which is at present without the means of transit for its immense and Yaluablo products. It will pass through the central portion of the great coal-field of Glamorganshire, where iron-stone also abounds with the coal in im mense quantities, and laying, geologically speaking, nearly flat, and, obtainable, for the most part, by proper levels. The coal in addition to its being of excellent quality for ire' making, as is proved at Mer thyr and Aberdare, is also, like that of those districts, of, the very best description for steam purposes, being nearly smokeless, although inflammable, indeed so pre-eminently Is the superiority of this de scription of coal established for steam purposes over any other, that the demand for it far exceeds the supply, and promises, accord ing to the opinion of the most eminent marine engineers, to super sede all others for purposes of steam navigation. This source of traffic alone will afford a handsome return for the capital invested, as has been demonstrated in every instance where even tram-roads or canals have been constructed to open the mineral resources of other less promising vallies in Wales than the Rhondda, which is cele brated for the abundance, quality, and facility of obtaining its pro ductions. An inexhaustible supply of limestone (so necessary for the manu facture of iron and for agricultural purposes) may be obtained by means of this Railway, much nearer and cheaper than by any other line. This line will afford to the increasing population of the rich vales of Ely and Rhondda a much desired communication with the great market town aid port of Cardiff, froni whence, at present, they may be said to be almost excluded. It is intended that the line shall commence at Blaen Rhondda, the head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down by a natural pass between the hills at Ffrwd Amws, a distance of eight miles, where it will enter the Ely Valley and proceed down (a further distance of six miles) to Lanelay-bridge, near Lantriasent, and there join the South Wales Railway, thus opening a communication under the most advantageous circumstances as to distance, with all the ports in the Bristol channel. A preliminary survey has already been made by competent par ties, and it is found that the country admits of highly favourable gradients, se much so that it is confidently anticipated that the works will be executed very considerably' under the advertised ca pital. The landowners along the line are favourable to this undertaking, and the names of many influential proprietors will be found on tke Provisional Committee. No Subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of his de posit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Covpany shall be under the control of the Managing Directors, to whom power is given to allot the Shares, and to apply the funds of die Company in payment of all the expenses incurred in its forma tion, and in the preparation of the plans and sections to be submitted to Parliament.

Hubbersty, Esq. • 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 if the former, and to the south and west of the latter • and the proposed line from Cambridge to Oxford, continuing to that city the course if 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 commua'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 Wantage, liungerford, 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 the rural, manufacturing, and commercial population of the kingdom. The projected line will bring the Cathedral City of Salis bury into immediate connexion with the City and University of Oxford, combining also the advantage of a direct communication with the sister University of Cambridge ; thus strengthening the ecclesiastical and academical relations of the whole, whilst the com mercial prosperity of the two terminal cities must of necessity be essentially enhanced. 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 Wantage, 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 proposed lino 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 Linden. By continuing the projected railway to Wantage, 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, Hungerford and Ludgers hall, to Salisbury, and thence to the south and western ports and dis tricts.

This Company has been formed for the purpose of constructing a line in continuation of the South-Eastern Railway at Reigate, whereby a direct junction will be effected between the whole of the south-eastern coast, including the port and harbour of Dover and the several ports and towns of Southampton, Gosport, Portsmouth, and Bristol ; and, by means of the Bristol and Birmingham Railway, with Gloucester, Worcester, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and the north of England. From its proximity to the Continent, the port of Dover will always be the most accessible point of the English coast; an expeditious communication therefore between that and tke other ports, harbours, and inland.towns of the United Kingdom, must necessarily be regarded as a great national advantage. Dover is at present the chief port of embarkation for Calais, Boulogne, Ostend, and other continental towns, and the vast numbers already resorting there both on business and pleasure, will be im measurably increased when the railways of France, Belgium, Hol land, and Germany are fully brought into operation. In addition to which, the Governmer4 Commissioners having selected Dover as a Harbour of Refuge, and recommended the outlay the. , • of 1,500,0001., it cannot fall of becoming a place of the greatest resort for the shipping and commercial interests of the coun try, and perhaps the most important town on the southern coast. In every point of view, therefore, whether for national security, or for travelling excursions, or the invaluable interests of our shipping and commerce, the paramount importance of a cheaper, more conve nient, and accelerated intercourse between this great port and all parts of the kingdom, must be sufficiently obvious. This the pro motel's fully anticipate will be attained by the proposed railway, which will form a portion of a grand trunk line, completing the chain of railway communication upon the narrow gauge between the south-eastern coast, and Bristol and the western, northern, and mid land counties. The line will commence at the terminus of the South-Eastern Rail way at Reigate, proceed thence by Dorking, Godalming, Farnham, and Wiliam to the Basingstoke station, on the South-Western Rail way. It will then proceed by Andover towards Devizes, Trow bridge, and Bradford, with a branch to Bath, and pursuing its course through the Somersctshire coal-field, throwing off a branch towards Radstock into the heart of the collieries,' L terminate in ajunction with the Bristol and Birmingham Railway at Bristol. By its course through Dorking, Godalming, Farnham, and OR ham, it will supply the railway accommodation so much required by those towns, and connect the rich and fertile hop districts of Surrey, Kent, and South Hants, and afford the means of conveyance of their produce to the great Hop-fair at Weyhill. By its junction with the contemplated " Reading, Guildford, and Reigate Railway," It will afford to the inhabitants of Reading, Oxford, and to the midland counties generally, the best and shortest route to the Continent, as well as to Worthing, Hastings, Brighton, and the other watering-places in Sussex and Kent ; and a vast increase of visitors will undoubtedly be attracted to those places from the interior of England by the accommodation and facilities fur travelling which will be accomplished by this and the proposed railway from Reading. By its intersection of the South-Western Railway at Basingstoke, and of the proposed Manchester and Southampton Railway further west, the present line will connect Dover towards the south, with Southampton (the packet station for the East and West Indies, &c.), Gosport, and Portsmouth, and towards the north, with Cheltenham, Gloucester, Worcester, Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool, also with Shrewsbury, Chester, and Holyhead, and in fact with the whole of North and South Wales. At Basingstoke, also, this line will join the proposed London, Salis bury, and Yeovil Railway, and throw open to Dover and the south eastern counties the populous acd wealthy cities of Salisbury and Exeter, the rich agricultural counties of Wilts, Dorset, Somerset, and Devon, the p,rts of Plymouth, Devonport, and Falmouth, and the mineral regions of: Cornwall. To Devizes, Trowbridge, Bradford, and Bath, and the other towns in the vicinitrof • Its course, the benefit which this line will confer cannot be too highly estimated; to the coal districts of Somerset shire it will open large and constant markets both In Bristol and to the south and east, while to the inhabitants of Bristol especially, con necting its channel with the Straits of Dover and the Downs, pro viding a perfect line for telegraphic communication, and securing to them the whole of the trade between the south-east of England and the west and south of Ireland, it seems difficult, considering the enor mous traffic which must necessarily flow to that city, to conceive a project more deserving of their cordial support. In the memorable Parliamentary contest last session between two great rival companies, the Legislature for the first time admitted that principle of competition with existing interests which was claimed by the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company for the protection and benefit of the public ; and it is with no fear of the result that the promoters of the present undertaking invite attention to one distinguishing feature it contains, viz., that by the construction of the line from Bristol t, Basingstoke, the Box Tunnel will be avoided, and a new and independent communication will be established between Bristol and London, by a shorter lino on the narrow gauge than by the devious course of the Great Western, inde pendently of all .the advantages of the proposed central station at Hungerford-bridge, and the convenient access to the Thames both there and at Nine Elms, over the distant and inconvenient station of the Great Western at Paddington. In length the proposed line 'Will be nearly 110 miles (assuming this Company to have the construction of that portion between Reigato and Dorking, for vrldch plans have been deposited by the South- Eastern Company)—the country through which it passes does not present any engineering difficulties of moment, nor will any resi dential or ornamental property be interfered with except ander an imperative necessity. A reserve of shares will be made for landowners on the line, and the Committee also retain to themselves the power to vary the course of the line with reference to any arrangements with existing interests and projected lines that may be considered advantageous to the shareholders. The capital proposed to be raised is 1,500,0e01., in 7.5,000 shares of 201. each, with a deposit of 21. 2s. per share, to be paid on allotment. Power will be taken by the Act to allow interest, at 41. per cent. per annum, upon all deposits and subscriptions until the opening of the line, and no subscriber shall be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act has beex obtained, end then not beyond the amount of his subscription. The Subscribers' Agreement and the Parliamentary Contrast will be ready for execution, and the scrip issued Immediately upon pay ment of the deposits. Applications for shares must be addressed to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, No. 12, Gray's Inn• place, only ; but n.) appli cation will be attended to unless accompanied by a reference to a member of the Provisional Committee, one of the solicitors to the Company, or a banker.

This railway is projected to form a direct communication between Brighton and Tonbridge Wells. It will commence at a point of junction with the Brighton and Lewes Railway at the town of Lewes, and proceeding by the Valley of the Ouse, pass by Ucktleld and Rotherfield, thence following the valley to Groombridge, proceed to Tonbridge Wells, and there form a junction with the Tonbridge Welts branch of the South-Eastern Railway. The length of the line will be about twenty-two miles. The neces sity and advantages of this line of railway are self-evident—it will connect Brighton immediately with the populous and fashionable nelghbonrhood of Tonbridge Wells, and more naediately it will con nect Southampton, Portsmouth, Chichester, and the ports of the western coast of Sussex, with the important towns of Maidstone, Chatham, Rochester, Canterbury, and Dover; thus effecting the greatly desired object of the shortest and most rapid communication between Dover and Southampton. The internal communication between Kent and Sussex will be thus rendered complete. The following towns and populous villages aro in constant trading communication with Lewes and Brighton, and will be accommodated by this line :—Barcombe, llingmer, Isnold, Little Honsted, Uckdeld Maresfield, Frampfield, Eust lloathly, Mayfield, Wlthyham,Wadhurst, Newhaven, and Harbour, Waldron, Fletching, Buxted, Rotherfield, Lamberhurst, Frant, Ticehurst, Groombridge, Hartfield, Ashurst. The existing local traffic will thus be alone sufficient to — prove highly remunerative, exclusive of the great passenger and goods traffic that must of necessity flow into this course as soon as the ne cessary accommodation is afforded. Detailed traffic tables are in course of preparation. The preliminary surveys have been com pleted, and no difficulties, engineering or otherwise, present them selyes, but, on the contrary, this railway will be of facile construc tion, and easy gradients The landowners generally are favourable to this line, to which they have pledged their support. The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at the rate of 4 per cent. on all paid-up calls from the passliv , of the Act until the completion of the line, and the liability of the shareholders will be limited to the amount of the subscription. • Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Company will be under the control of the Committee of Management for the time being, to whom power is given to allot the shares, and to apply the funds of the Company in payment of all the expenses incurred in its formation, and in the preparation of the plans and sections to be submitted to Parliament. Bower will be applied for in theAet, and inthe meantime Is hereby given to the Committee of Management, as above, to raise any ad ditional capital, to abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, or enter into any arrangements with any other company or companies, and also to nominate the first Directors of the Company. Applications for copies of the prospectus and shares, in tie usual form, may be made to the promoter, William Hallett, Esq., Brighton; to W. B. James, Esq., London; to W. P.
