LON ItON TUESDA It is satisfactory to the promoters to state that they haVe the sanc tion of the Grand Junction Company, and the co-operation of the Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton and South Staffordshire Junction, and the South Staffordshire Junction Companies, and that no project has been announced in competition with its acknowledged claim on public support. The whole Elle is free from engineering difficulties, and can bo constructed at a moderate cost, and has obtained the approval of the landed interest, whose ornamental properties have been strictly pro tected. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the Company will be under the direction and control of the Committee of Management, who are hereby empowered to enter Into such arrange ments as shall best serve the interests of this Company, and the public, with existing or projected Companies, and also to nominate the first Directors of the Company. Power will be taken under the Act to limit the responsibility of shareholders to the amount of their subscription, and to allow four per cent. Interest on the calls. Preference to the allotment of shares will be given to those locally interested, and to the shareholders of lines in connexion with this. No application for shares czn in any case be attended to, unless reference be made to one of the Provisional Committee, the Solicitors, Bankers, or Brokers of the Company. Applications for shares, in the usual form, to 'be made, no ater than the 12th of October, to the respective Solicit Ors and the follow ing Brokers : London-31essrs. Wells, Prinseps, and Westropp, 76, Old Broad street Wolverhampton—Mr. Payne Liverpool—Messrs. Lloyd and Price. co-operafe with the North London Junction Railway Comp toy, and the perfection of a project of no ordinary magnitude and im,iortance - will be realised throughout the whole of this short but very valuab:e line of railway. A lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the entire district through which this Company proposes to rina 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 in 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, thereto: e, together with the 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, Wily commensurate with the outlay of the proposed .. capital. That revenue will be derived thus : 4 The daily passenger traffic on the Great Western amounts to 93,345, one-half of which reaches th e City. Th e L o ndo n an d Bir mingham amounts to 4,322 daily, two-thire.s of which reach the I 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 following products are derived : Per Ann. Passengers from the Great Western and Birmingham Rail- way, at 6d. each...... Passengers from the Eastern Counties to the City terminus of this Company, at 3d. each .... • ... • ... .. ..... ....... 12,061 Omnibus passengers' traffic, at 6d. each, as taken at 142,208 tons of goods and parcels pass annually from the Great Western and the London and Birmingham Rail ways into the City, at an average cost of carriage of 3s. Gd. per ton throughout. For the carriage of these goods and parcels, therefore, at the reduced cost of 2s. Gd. per ton, a revenue may be derived of .......... .•••• • .. • • 17,776 From the carriage of goods, parcels, and mails, bringing in to the Eastern Counties Railway Company a revenue of 40,0001. a year, may be derived the suns of •• • . The total of their calculations amounts to £280,289 Deduct 40 rer scat for workers' expenses •• •••• • • .. £168,174 Estimated Rental to be received from •ther Companies for th• use of Terminus £198,174 Being a revenue of more than 15 per cent. on a capital of 1,300,0001. The coital, as now extended, 1;111 be divided into 65,000 shares of 20/. each, upon which a deposit of 21. 2s. per share will be payable forthwith. A portion of the shares will be allotted to parties locally interested. The remainder will be distributed amongst the present shareholders and the public generally, upon application being made by them in a manner hereinafter mentioned. _ _ The Directors, in oompliance with the advice of their Parlia mentary Agents, deem it expedient, in consequence of the recent standing orders of the House of Lords, to require a deposi of 101. per cent. The shareholders are, therefore, requested, in order to carry this arrangement into effect, to deposit their scrip certificate with the Secretary, or, or before the Ist of October next, in exchange for which they will obtain a certificate upon which the bankers of the Company will receive the amount of the difference payable, and, upon producing the receiptand signing the new Parliamentary Deeds, fresh scrip will be delivered to them.

This Railway will commence at the important town of Wolver hampton, proceeding through or near to Seisdon, Trysull and ClaverleY, to the manufacturing town of Bridgnorth ; from thence it will continue through a rich agricultural and populous district to Ludlow, and there fall into other projected lines to all parte of Eng land, North and South Wales, and Ireland, a distance of about thirty two miles. It will afford direct communication between Ludlow, Brldgnorth and Wolverhampton, Dudley, &c.; and, by the South Staffordshire Junction Railway, give to those towns and districts the most direct route for passengers and Fpods to and from the Central, North Eastern and Eastern parts of the Kingdom, and from which those towns have hitherto been excluded by every project of the day. It win convey to the agricultural districts of Herefordshire and South Shropshire, and also to the towns of Bridgnorth and Ludlow, coals and the mineral productions of Staffordshire, Worcestershire, and the Clee Hills, at nearly one-half the present cost of those ne cessary articles, and be the means of conveyance for corn, cattle, sheep, cider, wool, hops and other agricultural productions, as also timber from the before-mentioned agricultural counties, to the heart of the mining and manufacturing districts, which cannot fail to pro duce an immense traffic. _ _ To the towns emigaeed in this line, the value or obtaining there w, at the ehean,O. rate, coal and the necessaries 01 lire, will be of the ut most importance. - _ . . . . One pt l incipal feature it this la ,, jecthili ie, that ws eith , :r L1i,11,,w or Brldgmorth will lie in the direct route of one of the projects to be pro posed to Parliament in the next session, for the most direct commu nication between Ireland and the metropolis, this line will thereby afford to passengers the easiest communication to and from the cen tral parts of laidom, WORCESTER, HEREFORD, and GLOU CESTER RAILWAY. The Committee of Management, in con<equence of receiving daily applications for shares in this Company, beg to state th it the lists of applkmtions have been closed for some time. The allotment is now in progre=s, and the letters will be issued as soon as the requisite examination has taken place. The Committee regret that the number of shares applied for having so greatly exceeded the number at their disposal, they will be compelled lu all cases greatly to reduce the number applied for, and to omit entirely many applications from respectable parties to whom they would otherwise have been desir ous to make allotments.

William Polhill Kell, Esq., Lewes Robert Foreman, Esq , Solicitor, Tonbridge Wells Benjamin Hall, Esq., Buxted Lodge, near Lichfield. 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 Uckfleld and Rotherfield, thence following the valley to Groombridge, proceed to Tonbridge Wells, and there form a junction with the Tonbridge Wells 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 sell-evident—it will connect Brighton immediately with the populous and fashionable neighbonrhood of Tonbridge Wells, and more mediately 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 are in constant trading communication with Lewes and Brighton, awl will be accommodated by this line :—Bereombe, Ringmer, Istield, Little Horsted, Lichfield Maresfield, Framfield, East Hoatilly, Mayfield, Withyleam, Wadhurst, Newhaven, anti Harbour, 'Waldron, Fletching, Iluxted, Rotherfield, Lamberhurst, Front, Ticeliurst, Groomlyidge, 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 is course of preparation. The preliminary surveys have been com pleted, and no difficulties, engineering or otherwise, present them selyes, but, on the coutrktilen this railway will be of facile construc tion, and easy gradie The line has been ted to the Earl of Li verpoo l an d th e Earl irit of Aeergavenny, throw whose lands the line will run for eeveral miles, and has been approved liy them. The other 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 passing of the Act until the completion of the line, and the liablity 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 tinder 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 tie submitted to Parliament. Power will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime is h ere by 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 he Company.

This Cempany is formed for making a railway from Liverpool to D erby, and will, in conjunction with the Manchester and Rugby Direct, and London and Birmingham Railways, form the nearest route from Liverpool to London. It will commence at Liverpool, and Proceed along the Liverpool and Manchester Hallway to within a short distance of the Whiston Inclined Plane, and thence branch off, in a south-easterly direction, through Warrington, Knutsford, and Congleton to Leek (there joining the Manchester and Rugby Rail way), and from thence through Ashbourne to Derby. The whole length of the proposed line will be about sixty-91x miles. It will be seen by reference to the map that this important line of railway will form the shortest route fronaiverpool to London, and effect a direct chain of communication between Liverpool and Derby, and will thence, by means of the Midlands and other railways, open an unin terrupted route to the more eastern counties, and afford a complete midland communication between the eastern and western parts of the kingdom and the importantintermedlate manufacturing districts. The most important feature in this railway is that it forms the shortest road from Liverpool to London. The distance by itavith the Manchester and Rugby, and London and Birmingham, will Tw only 168 miles, whereas by the present route it is 210 miles, and bY thA Trent Valley Railway 200% miles ; effecting a saving of 22 miles./11" one instance, and 1234 miles in the other. And a‘ regards Liverpool and Derby, the whole distance between Liverpool and Darby will be reduced by this line to about 74 miles, thus decreasing the distance by any present existing railway, at least 46 miles; an advantage which carries in itself the conviction of the necessity there is for the proposed railway, in order to connect more immediately two such important towns, especially when these towns are but the foci, as it were, for other railways from still more distant localities, as before adverted to. The distance also from Manchester to Leek (where the proposed railway will unite with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) will be about 30 miles, and front Leek to Derby about 26% making the whole distance from Manchester to Derby only 56% miles ; and thus diminishing the distance by any present communi cation between those important towns by about 28 miles, an object most desirable to be attained, and of itself quite sufficient to recom mend a line of railway embracing such beneficial results. But great as these results most certainly will be, they are far out weighed by the very important consideration that, in conjunction with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway, it will also be the most direct route from Liverpool to London. The distance from Liverpool to Leek (the proposed point of junc tion with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) is 47)4 miles; from Leek to Rugby, according to the line as proposed by the Man• chester and Rugby Direct Railway, 58 miles, and frem Rugby to Loudon $3 miles ; thus making the whole distance from Liverpool to London 188% miles, instead of 210, by the present route. With regard to the traffic and other details connected with the working of the line, it seems only necessary to revert to the great importance of the towns proposed to be brought into communication with each other, in order to convince the minds of all that the source of revenue thus derived will be immense. There are no engineering difficulties connected with the forming of the line. The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on thst, share holders beyond the deposit now paid until the Act of Parliament, is obtained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 4/. perciin interest on all calls. maps, and shares, may Applications for detailed prospectuses, be made to the Secretary, at the offices, 28, Moorgate-street, at Mr. Bethel's Offices, 7s, King William•street, City, London ; awl at 22, Cross-street, Manchester, and the following Share brokers :—Messrs.

This line of railway, which is about sixty-flve miles in length, is intended to commence at Uttoxeter (the terminus of the proposed Derbyshire, Staftbrdshire, and Worcestershire Junction Railway) and to proceed to Sheffield and Huddersfield. It will form a direct com munication between two of the most import int manufacturing and mining districts in England, viz., South Staffordshire, Huddersfleld, and Sheffield, and Rotherham in Yorkshire ; the South Staffordshire portion including Dadley, Tipton,Walsall, Bileton, Wednesbury, and Wolverhampton. This line will also open a direct railway communication between Leeds, Huddersfield, and the WestOing of Yorkshire and Kidder minster, Worcestershire, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, Taunton, and Exeter, and with Ludlow, Leominster, Hereford, Brecon, Car diff, heath, Swansea, Llanelly, Caermarthen, Milford Haven, Fish guard, Aberystwith, and with Port Dynnlleen, the future outport for Ireland. And also the most direct communication betwees Leeds and Southampton. The line will pass nearly along the Uttoxeter and Caldon Canal to a point near Prestwood, in case the canal be purchased by the pro tnoters of this undertaking. It will proceed through Ehlaston and Mayfield to Ashbourne, thence near Dovedale, Buxton, and Chapel en-la-Frith IN'oodhead anti Hohnfirth to Huddersfield , wher e it will join the Huddersfield and Leeds Railway, and so to Thirsk. It will open new mines, in widltion to those already in work, of lead, coal, iron ore, barytes, and carboniferous and magnesian limestone on the route, in addition to forfning a direct, speedy, and cheap communica tion between the important towns abore mentioned. Arrangements have been made with other companies to run into this line from Sheffield. This company reserves the right to raise additional capital to extend the line to Leeds. Many of the above-mentioned mineral productions are essential to the mining districts of South Staffordshire and Sheffield. The North Staffordshire anti Derbyshire Limestone is much superior to that of South Staffordshire in the fluxion of iron (15 cwt. of the former being equal to a ton of the latter), and producing a bettor quality of ma terial. At present, the mode of transit is very circuitous and expen sive, the line from the Caldon Mines leaving to go by canal round by Etruria, Leek, and the Potteries, to the Dudley and surrounding furnaces, when, by this railway, it would be taken in a straight line to them ; and the Ashbourne, Cromford, Worksworth, and Bakewell country wouldhave an entirely new trade opened to them. The iron stone in the neighbourhood of Sheffield is also becoming very scarce, and great quantities are introduced from Scotland; the same scarcity exists in South Staffordshire ; and the route of this line would fur nish a cheap and good supply, at present not worked, and without a market, both north and south. In addition to these great advan tages, a good local m ar k e t wou ld be opened along the agricultu ral and other parts of the district at present very badly supplied with lime and coal, and that of an inferior quality, and b3e expensive car nage. It is, therefore, next to impossible to calculate tile immense traffic which ' would pour down this line an d the Derbyshire, Stafford shire, aed Worcestershire Junction Ilaniay The calculations which leave been made show very large profit. There are large lead and slate quarries on the line which only want an outlet like the one now contemplated to bring them into full work. The coal is of a superior quality. r i ry a s ni bir e e ' There are also extensive barytesand paint-works y at f A p s e ) Cranford, and other places on the ne. rs of tourists; i, ic tu . nl letrt to icular care wlll is the resort of vast numbe of the line near )oN et . not interfere with or taken, in passing c hange its beautiful a nd romantic character. The convenience, therefore, which this line will afford must necessarily cause a great ; n th, o r passengers, both on business and pleasure. Ironstone is not so abundant in the Smith as in North Staffordshire, aial vast quantities are sent by the tardy, circuitous, anti expensive cana l company, which this and other lines of railway meeting at Uttoxeter will remedy. The gypsum formation runs from Staffordshire to the Humber, and the demand for this article for building, agricultural, and manufac turing purpose.; along this line will be great. The timber from the neighbourhood of the Needwood Forest, Banks, liagots Woods, and Kingston Woods, upwards of 4,000 acres, chiefly finds its way to the Manchester market by a like objectionable route of tardy and circuitous canal convey ance ; whereas this Jim would open a direct, easy, and cheap communication to new Markets. The line has been viewed prior to a detailed survey,.and there are not snore than ordinary engineering 'ditlictiliks. In consequence of the lute Parliamentary decisions, it Is intended to ntakt! this line on the broad itazi7e principle, but the pro moters do not pledge tlit-osselves absolutely to do so.
