Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereham, Lynn, and Rolbeach Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn, Witham, Castle Bythans, South Wytham, and Wymondham, to point of the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near Melton- Mowbray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mid- land Counties Railway, an almost direct route to Leicester, and thence to Coventry and Birmingham by the proposed Coventry, Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway. The projected line will form the most direct communicatien be tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, and will, by means of the proposed lines across the county of Leicester, via Bur ton-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincoln, Norfolk. Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by many miles than any other line of railway. It will form, with other projected railways, an almost direct line across the kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, on the east, to Aberystwith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the west. The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. There is no tunnel- • ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary ; the line from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve melee, is very level, and may be constructed at a small cost. It will secure the advantages of railway communication to a tract of country at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open ' ing out sources of trade undeveloped for want of the means of transit. The central midland districts have felt greatly the want of direct communication with the coast; and this line will at once supply the aeficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire. It will afford a transit for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei cesterahlre coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon supply from the north at high prices: it will also secure the advan tages of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershire works, to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, which are at present only i supplied at very high rates; and, in return traffic, the midland dis • tricts will °Main the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk. Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which is the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, and connected by the River Weiland with the German Ocean. • The proposed capital will be sufficient for the construction of the necessary works and every subsequent expense ; and the income derivable from the traffic in passengers between Birmingham, Co ventry, Leicester. Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Boston, the trans port of corn, cattle, and other produce Of the great agricultural districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland districts, will be sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay. The Parliamentary surveys have been commenced, and are now in active progress, and contracts have been catered int. which en sure sufficient time for compliance with the standing orders. Forms of application for shares, plans, and prospectuses may be had of the Solicitors ; also at the offices of the Company, 4, Tra falgar-square, Charing-cross, where applications for shares, accom panied by respectable references, may be addressed to the Provi sional Committee.

At, 1t meeting of the Provisional Committee, held thit day at Rad ley% Hotel, New Bridge-street, It was resolved to reduce the capital of this Company to 280,0001., being the estimate for the main and branch lines and the pier, it having been deemed advisable not to apply for powers for the con struction of docks, warehouses, &c., as originally contemplated. The engineer reported that the whole of the Parliamentary surreys were ccmpleted with respect to the main land, and that the surveys on the branch line to Thorpe-le-Soken would be concluded within a week or ten days. Resolutions were adopted expressive of a determination to proceed with the, application to Parliament in the ensuing session ; but that the allotment of shares should be deferred until after the deposit of the plans and sections on or previously to the 30th November next.

This line has been projected for the purpose of forming the trim direct communication between Birmingham and the Midland Coun ties, and the important and rising pert of Aberystwith and the sea coast of Wales. It is intended to commence at the junction of the Welch Midland and Stour Valley Railways (both of which have projected lines to Birmingham), between Kidderminster and Bewdley, and proceed from thence through Cleobury Mortimer to Ludlow, where it will form a junction with the Worcester and Portdyellaen, and Bridgnorth, Ludlow, and Wolverhampton Railways. From Ladlow it will follow the line of the present mail road, along the Valley of the Teme to Knighton, from which place it is intended to throw off a branch to the Craven Arms, to run into the Shropshire Mineral Railway, which has its terminus at that place. The line will proceed from Knighton to Lianidloes, where it will join the projected Manchester and Aberystwith Railway, and proceed along that line for the re mainder of the distance. The use of all projected lines being that sought for, the part to be made will not exceed sixty miles ; and as surveyors are already upon the line, the plans, :co., will all be ready to go to Parliament in the ensuing session. The advantages of the present line over any other projected rail way between Birmingham and Aberystwith are :—That it is the most direct route between the respective termini; that it passes through a district at present unprovided with railway accommoda tion ; that by it and the Birmingham, Stamford, and Boston lines, a regular chain of railway communication is opened between St. George's Channel and the German Ocean; and by the Great Eastern and Western line a communication is also opened with Yarmouth, Norwich, and King's Lynn ; that it will open the slate mines of Cardiganshire, and the limestone of Radnorshire to Shrop shire, and the whelk of the midland counties ; while, on the ether hand, by the branch from the Craven Arms, the coals of Shropshire will be brought into Radnorshire, Montgomeryshire, and Cardigan shire, where that article does not exist, at little more than sue-third of its present coat. From tkese and other sources of traftlis it must be obvious that a high rate of interest upon the capital embarked may be depended upon. The line throughout the whole distant" meets with the most infia ential local support, so as to ensure its complete success. There are no engineering difficulties of any magnitude, and no ornamental property will be invaded. Should the atmospheric pinci pie be fully tested and be found to answer, it will he adopted on this line. The responsibility of the shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will betaken in the Act to allow in terest at four per cent. on t h e calls. The Committee reserve the usual power to amalgamate with any other existing Company or Companies, to limit or vary the line, as to them shall seem most expedient, in order to carry out the objects of the Company. Prospectuses, with maps and forms of application for shares, may be had from the Secretary, at the Office of the Company, 163, Fen church-street; from tke Solicitors and Local Agents; and also from the following Brokers, viz. :.—Messrs.

The.

In pursuance of this arrangement, the line of the Manchester and Milford Haven Railway will commence by a junction with the other line, near Llangerrig, Winstead of at Crewe. The capital is reduced to 1,300,000/.; and a portion of the Shares have been granted to the ether Company.

Six, —Observing that doubts have been expressed whether in many of the various railway schemes now before the public the de posits on the capital have been paid, or, if paid, have been properly applied, the Committee think it right to state, that the deposits on the shares allotted in this railway have been duly paid, and that a sum exceeding three-fourths of the amount has been invested iu Consols in the names of Trustees for the Company.

In consequence of the great number of applieations for share n this Company which are daily received from all parts of the country, the Provisional Directors feel it necessary to call the atten tion • lthe Public to the following Clause in the Prospectus, to the terms of which they will, in allotting the shares, be o•Inpolled most strictly to adhere:— " As, under arrangements entered hits with the Lynn and Bly, Ely and Huntingdon, and Lynn and Dereham Railway Companies, a large proportion of the capital has been appropriated to the holders of shares in those Companies, a very limited number •f shares only is at the disposal of the Provisional Directors, and no application for shares therefore can he attended to, except from parties locally in terested and of the highest respectability.

LONDON and YORK RAILWAY' The Shareholders are hereby informed that the Bill for the London and York Railway having, in the last session, passed the House of Commons, and having also passed the Standing Orders Committee of the House of Lord, will be resumed at that stage im mediately on the meeting of Parliament, under the resolutions of both Houses giving this privilege to Railway Bills in the state of that of the London and York; and that the notices to that effect, required by those resolutions to be given in certain newspapers during this month of October and in November, are now in course of publication. Having now ascertained the extent of their liabilities consequent upon the very severe and protracted, though successful, contest of last session, the Directors have the satisfaction to find that, though the expenses have been unavoidably great, ample funds remain from the original deposit of 21. 108. per share to meet any possible cost in the ensuing session ; and as in the case of the London and York Bill, it is not requisite .ender the standing orders, to increase the deposit of 51. per cent.i on the capital already paid, and which continues lodged with the Accountant-General of the Court of Chancery, it will be unnecessary to make any further call upon the shareholders. The Bill for the Wakefield branch, which, for want of time, was not heard last session, is to be renewed ; and this branch is to be ex tended from Wakefield into the town of Leeds. Additional exten sions will also be proposed from Stamford direct to Spalding ; from Hatfield through St. Alban's to Luton and Dunstable ; and to Hert ferd—all which are in course of being surveyed preparatory to the usual deposits and notices required by Parliament. In conformity with the ?sessional orders under which Bills stand ing over from last session maintain their position in the ensuing session, a new Subscription Contract will be prepared ; and notices will shortly be given to the holders of the London and York and the Bawtry Branch Scrip Certificates of Shares, to send the same in for registry ; and of the time at which the New Deed will be lying for signature in London and at the principal country teams. The cost of the Wakefield and other branch lines herein-men tioned. is to be provided for by means of forty thousand (40,000) scrip Extension Shares of the value of 251. each, with a deposit of V. 10s., being ten (10) per cent. as required by Parliament, to be allotted to the Proprietors of the original or existing London and York and Bawtry Scrip Shares of 501. each in the proportion of One Extension Share of 251. for Three of the Scrip Shares of 501.—and the Subscription Contract for the branch lines will be ready for sig nature at the same time as the New Deed for the London and York original line.

The object of this railway is to afford local accommodation to the large population lying between Droitwich, Stourbridge, and Wol verhampton, and at the same time to improve the chain of direct communication between- Manchester, Salisbury, and POOle, an the one hand, and between Manchester and Southampton on the other. The line will comtnence by a junction with the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway, near Droitwich, and passing by tilesaltworks at that place, and through or near the towns of Broi usgrove and Stourbridge, will fall into the intended Grand Central. Station at Wolverhampton, whence run connecting lines with all parts of the kingdom. The importance of this communication, with reference only to the wants and convenience of Droitwitch, was strongly dwelt upon in Committees of Parliament during the last session, when it was proved that a communication with the port of Southampton., as well as with the agricultural districts of Wilts, Dorset, and Hants, must tend to a very great extension of trade in salt, as well as in iron and coal front the Staffordshire district. Traversing a densely-populated district, and improving the com munication from Liverpool, Manchester, and the north, with the ports and towns of the south and west of England, it is obvious the line must also command a large passenger traffic. The length of railway will be about twenty-four miles. Promoted with the sanction and immediate support of the Manchester and Southampton Compdny, it is intended, after satisfying' the require ments of the district and other important interests, that a proportion of the remaining shares in the line shall be distributed to suck of the shareholders in that Company as shall signify their desire for an al lotment on or before the 10th November next. The levels of the country have already been taken. and active measures instituted for completion of the surveys, and the Directors ,confidently hope to bring the measure before Parliament in the en suing session. Applications for shares may be made, in the annexed form, to the Company's solicitor, at Manchester, or at the offices of the Company, 19, Great George-street, Westminster.

Edinburgh—National Bank of Scotland: The Directors of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway Company, having completed the whole of their arrange ments, and having been compelled to refuse at least three-fourths of the applications for shares in their line, have had their attention forcibly and repeatedly called to the necessity of a direct communi cation between Salisbury and Swindon, the station on the Great Western Railway by which the most direct and remunerative con nexion will be formed between Southampton and Manchester. The advantages in point of speed to be derived from the broad gauge, as also the superiority of the gradients obtained by the route of the Valley of the Avon, together with the Importance of placing the city of Salisbury on the main trunk line from the north to Southampton, must insure to this undertaking the sanction of tha Legislature and the local support of the towns and districts through which the line will pass. - - - _ .
