Sir,—Many Members of our Committee arc aware that the nego tiations with the larger Companies, whose interests are identified with this project, and whose support the Committee 'were led to ex pect, retarded for a considerable time the surveys and other pre liminaries required by the standing orders of Par‘iatnent ; never theless, until within these few heurs, we felt confident that our ar rangements were such as to secure a compliance with those orders ; but the engineers whose services we fully relied upon, have disap pointed us, and we are this day only reluctantly brought to the conclusion that there is not sufficient time to complete the survey► of this important line with that extreme care wLich we deem requisite in presenting any new project to the ensuing: session. We feel Wined, however; by the numerous and substantial expres sions of support we have received, in pressing upon the Committee the necessity of continuing their cordial. co-operation in aid of this project, entertaining as we do, in common with others of no mean authority, the full conviction that it must eventually receive the sanction of the Legislature.

Capital, 800,0001., in 40,000 Shin es of 201. each. Deposit, 21. 2s. per Share. This Company has been formed for making the above line of rail way, and a list of the Provisional Committee, containing most in fluential names, will appear in a few days. This railway will commence at the University town of Cambridge, and proceed from thence to Colchester, passing through or near the towns of Linton, Haverhill, Great Yeldham, Hedingllauf, and Hal stead, proceeding.by Thorp and Wesley to Walton-on-the-Naze. On reference to the map, it will be seen that this line will pass through a part of the country at present unprovided with railway accommodation, and bring the town of Cambridge in close connexion with Colchester, and the fast improving seaport town of Harwich, And by means of the railways already formed and proposed to be formed, will open a communication with Yorkshire and all parts of the north, with Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, Manchester, Liver pool, and other large manufacturing towns, and the rich mineral districts of Staffordshire, the important towns of Birmingham and Worcester, north and south Wales, and by the Northampton, Ban bury and Cheltenham Railway, with all parts of the west of England, as well as opening a direct communication to the important seaport towns on the eastern coast. A considerable Parliamentary grant having been made to improve the harbour of - Harwich; a Company has been formed to make large and commodious docks at, that place, and from the fact of Harwich being directly opposite the ports of Holland (thus bringing it in communication with the railways In Germany) there is no doubt but that Harwich will become a first-rate sea-tort town for exten sive commercial and passenger traffic, and will be a powerful feeder to this line. The town of Colehester is also a sea-port, from which coals and goods in large quantities are supplied to Halstead and the adjacent populous towns and villages, and goods, flour, malt, &c., in large quantities are shipped (supplied from the district through which this line is.proposed to pass) to London and other places. Therefore this line will open a communication much needed, and theretannot ba any doubt but that the undertaking is one of great importance, as affording railway accommodation to a large and po pulous district of country through which it will pass, and that it will pay a good rate of interest on the capital invested From Colchester the line will proceed to the fast-improving and much admired watering-place, Waltontbn the-Naze, passing through Thorp and Wesley, and thereby affording railway accommodation from the Midland Counties to that place of summer resort for sea bathing. Power will be applied for to allow 4/. per cent. on deposits an all calls until the line is opened. I Prospectuses and plans will be forthwith issued, and, in the meantime applications for Shares may be made to the solicitors, George Weller, Esq. 8, King's-road, Bedford-row, London; George Pell, jun., Esq.

The Provisional Committee of the North London Junction Rail way Company have great satisfaction in informing their subscribers that negotiations are now pending between the Provisional Commit tee of this Company and the Directors of the Railways north of the Thames of such a character as to assure them that the City terminus of this Company will form the Grand Terminus of all the City traffic north or London. To effect tkis important object, an area of 10 acres rovedoe (the southern boundary of which is within 500 yards of k of England) has been most carefully surveyed and valued, and the re port of the architect and engineer is of so favourable a character as to have induced the Provisional Committee to determine on purchasing the entire site, and it has, therefore, been resolved by them to in crease the capital of this Company to 1,300,0801. The Provisional Committee consider it of paramount importance to secure within the limits of their City terminus, the amplest and most complete accommodation for the traffic of each of the railway companies who may co-operate with them, an object which will be effected by opening the very extensive and valuable space of ground alluded to, within the centre of the City of London. Counties In conjunction with this enlarged plan, it is intended to embrace that of a branch line to the present station of t he Eastern Co Railway in Shoreditch, which will effect an entire junction etween the eastern and western parts of the metropolis ; and at the same time afford a direct communication between the whole of the rail ways, which reach London tothe north of the Thes, and givegie full d eve l o pment to each of their schemes by creating for e common centre within the heart of the metropolis. Independently, therefore, of the almost incalculable local traffic which the position of their City terminus will ensure to this Com pany, will be added that of those companies also who will eventually co-operate with the North London Junction Railway Company, and the perfection of a project of no ordinary magnitude and will be realised throughout the whole of this sho rt but very valuable line of railway'. importance A lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the entire district through which this Company proposes to run this line; by this means the most casual observer will be enabled to ascertain that the environs of London, north of the Thames, will be placed to immediate communication with the City ; while the dense popu lation of the City will enjoy a fad' ity of connexion with its suburban localities, necessarily affording it the ;greatest accommodation. With such important local resources, therefore, together with the I vast traffic on which the shareholders of this Company have a right to rely for profit, a large amount of revenue may be fairly and justly anticipated, fully commensurate with the outlay of the proposed capital. That revenue will be derived thus : The daily passenger traffic on the Great Western amounts to 3,345, one-half of which reaches the City. The London and Bir mingham amounts to 4,322 daily, two-thirds of which reach the City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,400 persons daily, half of whom pass to the West-end of London. The omnibus traffic daily is 30,894 passengers, two-thirds of 'which may be given to the City. Passengers from the suburban districts reaching the City, now un accommodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily. From these sources the folowing products are derived: — Per Ann. - - ditto - - - Burnley - - - Bradford - - Staffordshire - Wakefield - Pontefract - Derbyshire - - Manchester ditto London - Herefordshire - - Marsden - - Bury - Maltby Sheffield - .

The proposed line 'will com mence at the Huddersfield station, between which place and Leeds. Parliament has already sanctioned the formation of railways, and awn Huddersfield the proposed line will proceed by way of Hillhouse' Birchencliffe, and Lindley, and thence along the valley between Stainland and Greetland, through Bark'sland, the Vale ofßipponden, and by Rochdale to Bury, in Lanuashire, where it will join the ter minus of the Liverpool and Bury line of railway. In addition to completing a direct ceminilnieation from Liverpool to Leeds, Hull, and G;Oole, by the Shortest practicable route, and by a much smaller 0e:,..1ay of capital, than by any other proposed line, it will provide fo: a large and important manufacturing poplation, hitherto wit s .iout the advantage of railway accommodation, an outlet to the so,th by Means of the Huddersfield and Sheffield Junction Rails r~~ and to Manchester and to North and South Lancashire by the railways above mentioned, and by the Leeds and Manchester J .. ..enemy, by a proposed junction therewith at Rochdale. This line, when completed, will, in addition to the advantages which it presents as a through line, pass through a succession of val leys thickly studded with mills and manufactories, consuming a large quantity of raw materials and coal, all of which are brought from a distance, and transmitting to other districts the produce of their industry, for which purposes a line of railway has become ab solutely necessary, and there can be no doubt that an ample return will be realised for the outlay of capital required. The distance between Huddersfield and Reehiale by the present nue of railway is thirty miles, which by the proposed railway will be reduced to seventeen miles. The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the right of enter ing into any arrangements with existing railway companies that may appear desirable. And power will be taken by the Act of Parliament to allow interest to the shareholders at the rate of 4/. per cent. per annum on the amounts paid on their shares from the respective times of payment to the times of opening the railway.

It will run nearly parallel with the old coach road, which has hitherto been the principal passenger route g ro in Lancaster to ffewCastle.

In submitting this undertaking to the public, the promoters—a numerous and highly influential class—have been influenced no less by the general facilities presented for its construction, by the fa vourable character of the country through which it is intended to pass, than by the conviction of its great local and general import ance as a direct line between North and South Wales, Shrewsbury, Lichfield, Tamworth, Derby, and Leicester, and the Midland and Eastern Counties generally. To effect this desideratum, the formation of a new 1 ine of 19 or 2!' j miles only will be required; communicating with the Trent Vr: de , Railway at Lichfield, and uniting with the Shrewsbury , Wolver:aanti;'. ton Dudley and Birmingham, or Shrewsbury, Wolverhamp on , and South Staffordshire Junction Railways, at Shiffnal. It is a remarkable fact that Shrewsbury, the ou.: Le t of North Wales, has been hitherto altogether disregarded in ' s h e range et . ex isting railways, particularly towards the east, t l 4O nearest being at the distance of 28 miles. The town of Shrewsbury, now 95 miles from Leicester by road and railway, will, by means of this and the other projected lines, be brought within 65 miles. When the ordinary passenger italic, and the vast transit of cat tle, together with the coal, mineral, and agricultural, districts to be traversed, are considered, it is obvious that the construction of this line will insure to the Company a most lucrative return for the Capital employed ; and that, as an investment, it must rank among the most advantageous of modern undertakings, whilst it will im part advantages of the highest importance, both to England and the principality. The immense droves of Welsh and Shropshire cattle will at once be conveyed into the important cattle markets of Derby shire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk, whilst, in return, the agricultural produce of those coun ties will be sent into the densely-populated localities of Birmingham and Wolverhampton, and the Staffordshire, Shropshire, and Welsh several projected railways passinTheg from Worcestershire and ironworks. Herefordshire in the direction of Chester. and Liverpool, will be im portant tributaries to the revenue of thi s line, which will be still f ur ther augmented by its joining ttie Grand Junction, near to the Spread Eagle Station, at a short ''.,stance from Wolverhampton. The facilities which Will be P:cforded to visitors to Matlock, and the rest of the picturesque Scenery of Derbyshire, and of North Wales and A brystwith, r i s well as to travellers via Holyhead to Ireland, will still furthe:. conduce to the general utility of the project.

This line is designed to open a direct communication Detwt4f2 tka towns of Eirmlngham and Boston. The advantages to be derived by a rich, progressing, and populous town, such as Birmingham, the great manufacturing centre of the kingdom, having a direct communication with a port on the eastern coast facing the Continent, and that port the nearest to It by goo. graphical position, need but to be mentioned to be appreciated. The name of Birmingham speaks for itself; the capacity and value of Boston as a commercial port is daily Increasing, end re.- quires but little enterprise to enable it to compete with some of our best ports. It is proposed that this line should commence at Leicester, where it will form a continuation of the direct line from Birmingham to that town, and proceeding by or near Melton Mowbray, Corby, Folkenham, and Donnington, terminate at BoSion; thus affording a direct communication between Birmingham and its important manu facturing districts—Rugby, the great railway centre of England, and Boston, their nearest seaport, which eventually must command the traffic of the districts with which it is in connexion and the oppo site ports of the Continent. A glance at the map will show how this line is fed, and the towns in its neighbourhood supplied with railway accommodation by the in tersecting lines ; but in the event of the London and York line not obtaining its Act, it is proposed by this Company to construct a branch to Grantham. The country is easy, presenting few or no engineering difficulties. Another advantage held out by this project is the improvement of the harbour of Boston, whereby it will be restored to that eminent position it formerly held among the ports and harbours of the kingdom. The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest Ed 4 per cent. per annum after passing the Act, on the amount of the subscription paid up. No subscriber shall be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. A more detailed Prospectus will be issued in a few days, containing the names of many influential Gentlemen locally interested in the proposed line.

At a meeting of proprietors of the Bristol and Exeter T way Company, held at the offices of Mr. Henry Britten, No. 17, Small-street, Bristol, on the 21st of October, 1845, convened toe the purpose of taking into consideration the provisional agreement en tered into between the Directors of the 'above Coiapany end the Directors of the Great Western Railway Company, for the sale to the latter of the Bristol and Exeter Railway, and adoptl.l4 6uC4 reigS• lutions thereupon as might be deemed advisable, Mr. WILLIAM CROSS in the Chair, It was Resolved,—lst. That this meeting, looking at the pat 1111 f, yearly reports, especially the last two, made by the Directors of tike Bristol and Exeter Railway Company to the proprietors of thatCetwe pany—at the present receipts—and the gradually increasing truffle upon the Bristol and Exeter Railway, with the prespect of * still much greater traffic from its various branches and the already formed South Devon and projected North Devon and Cornwall lint% and also at the value of the shares which the Bristol end Exeter Company possesses in the former two lines—and at the sante limo making every allowance for the disadvantage of a possible compettng line direct from London to Exeter (estimated by the Great Western Company itself at 4 per cent.)—cannot but consider the provisional agreement made by the directors of the Bristol and Exeter Railway Company, for the sale of their railway and effects to the Great Western Railway Company, as a most improvident bargain, highly detrimental to the interests of the shareholders in the former tinder taking, and involving an unjustifiable sacrifice if the property of the Bristol and Exeter Railway Company, to which the proprietors ot that company ought not to submit or assent ; and that measures be forthwith adopted to ascertain the sense of the proprietors in general upon the matter, and if they shall concur in opinion with this meet ing, to ensure their co-operation in preventing the confirmatiou o f that agreement. 2d. That for these purposes a Committee be formed, cousiguna the following gentlemen ; M Mr. C. F. Dan& Mr. J. S. Tripp Mr. C. F. Thornley Mr. J. Prowse Mr. Thomas Lucas With power to add to their number; and that Mr. Henry Bfittall b 3 requested to act as the secretary and legal adviser of the Com.- mittee. 3d.

T Ci R e L SI I P Ud p E I 6 C ete n TU a direst . .3orandaktion St .- This railway is intended to o nwLmeedsand commenceN cian junction Newcastle. It with the Leeds and Thlrsk Rail way at Wath, near Ripon, and following the route, as near as ma, be, of the Old Leeming-lane coach road, will proceed to a point near Masham, thence by way of Bedale, Catterick, Richmond, Middleton, Tyas, Barton, and Manfleld, to Bishop Auckland, where it. will join the Northumberland and Lancashire Junction Railway The length of the projected line will be about forty milaS, which. will render the distance between the important towns of Leeds and Newcastle thirty miles shorter than by any existing, and allo w , miles shorter than by any proposed, line of railway. It will traverse districts abounding with coal, ironstone. lime, and agricultural produce, hitherto shut out from the advaatages of ralt r way communication with the markets of the populous and manti*... turing districts of Yorkshire and Lancashire. As this line will join the Yorkshire and Glasgow Union Railway near Bedale, the Lancashire and North Yorkshire Railway near to Richmond, and the Leeds and Think Railway at Wath, it will afford the means of conveying coal, at moderate charges, to the extensive agricultural districts through which these several railways are pro posed to pass. The coke produced in the Auckland district alrea4y commands an universal preference over that supplied from anylralser part of the kingdom, and is accordingly in great request on all the principal lines, and the proposed railway will afford the most direct and con venient outlet for it to the midland districts, where the demand will be unlimited. From the most careful and diligent inquiry it has been ascertained that the coal and coke are alone sufficient to yield an ample return for the capital employed in the construction of the line, independently of the present, and continually increasing traffic, in passengers and merebandize, which experience has hitherto found to resnit, wherever the facilities of railway communication has been provided , The attempts now making to constitute Leeds the great centre of railway communication between the northern and southern parts of the kingdom, for which its geographical position and commercial importance offer ao many facilities, must necessarily render the New castle and Leeds Direct Railway an important trunk line. The surreys are already made, and the line has been found to present , no engineering difficulties, and to be okrfhaelivaaestnyiieaknnetwd:lsneexbpeoessin taken e t; o st b r r u p ct rn i i o tih n e: . tions for Shares to be made at the offices of the &littera: AActllinotithieerenrsrelluinmgisn:SrYsionB t e e f P I g ' to the Company, to the Secretary, and to the following agents an): stock, and share-brokers: —London—fir.
