Besides these sources of traffic, a direct communication will be opened between the north-eastern counties, and Henze Bay, Margate, Ramsgate, and the ports of Ostend, Rotterdam, and the Rhine. The local advantages, from which a large source of revenue must also arise, are as follow:- Ist. The opening to the agriculturists of the districts which this railway will traverse, of a cheap and direct communication with the most important markets of the county of Essex. 2d. The carriage of fish to the London market and elsewhere. 3d. The traffic arising from the carriage of coal from the coast to be distributed on the course of the 1 ne. 4th. The carriage of the celebrated lime of Purfieet for agricultural and for building purposes, along the course of the line, and through out the eastern counties. Besides the traffic of passengers and merchandise which will be de rived from the local population, it is certain that cheap and expedi tious travelling to and from Southend will estabish it as a place of recreation and resort for the population of the metropolis, scarcely second to Gravesend, and form a source of revenue almost Incalculable. The estimated traffic, as shown in the annexed table, from the above sources, shows a clear profit of more than ten per cent. upon the capital, and the payment of interest at four per cent. upon the calls between the passing of the Act and the construction of the rail way will form one of the clauses of the Bill.

The distance between Nottingham and Yarmouth by the pro posed extension will be as short as by the Lynn and Dereham and Lynn and Ely lines, while the traffic to and from the north, from the central, west, and south parts of Norfolk, the north of Cambridge. shire, and the counties of Suffolk and Essex, will be secured for the united undertaking. The Extension Line will be made by the two Companies jointly, and the shares will be apportioned amongst the respective share holders of each. It is intended that the Norfolk and Grand Unioh Companies should guarantee four per cent dividend, with a division of profits to the shareholders of the new line. The direction will consist of an equal number of gentlemen from the Norfolk and Grand Union boards, and Mr. Robert Stephenson will co-operate with Mr. Vignoles as engineer of the line.

In consequence of the favourable reception of this measure by many important landowners and others locally interested, a number of whom have become Members of the Provisional Committee, and the additional evidence of the great traffic, the Managing Directors have resolved upon adopting a Double, instead of a Single Line, and increasing the capital to 500,0001., in 25,000 Shares, of 201. each, and all applications for Shares received up to the present time will be treated in the allotment as made upon the present capital, unless recalled before the 27th instant. PARLIAMENTAR GENTS. Messrs. Hugh Inns Cameron and Ge o r ge Bain,lB, Parliament-street. SECRETARY—Henry Moreing, Esq. At several large,public meetings held in October last, at Brantford, Isleworth, and Hounslow, resolutions were unanimously passed in favour of establishing a railway communication with the metropolis, and the Gazette notices were actually published; but the difficulty of obtaining a suitable terminus in London induced the principal scuento - perofsi frramc. - This impediment has now been overcome, and by a proposed Junc tion with the Central Terminus and the Thames Embankment Rail way, parties travelling by this line will be enabled to proceed directly to the heart of the metropolis ; and by the united Railways, which will ramify from this point, to almost every part of the country without interruption. By the intended Junction, also, with the Great Western Railway, at er near West Drayton, and by the intersection of the Birmingham Railway at litnsington, these important lines will be supplied with direct access to the Central Terminus, and thence to t h e City, or to the Southern and Eastern Lines. The proposed line, which passes through or near the extensive and populous suburbs of Pimlico, Chelsea, Brampton, Kensington, Ham mersmith, Chiswick, and Turnham-green, to the town pf Brentford, and thence to Isleworth, Hounslow, and West Drayton, has received the most cordial approbation and promises of support from the great majority of the inhabitants and other parties locally interested. This line is singularly free from engineering difficulties; and, although there is almost a complete continuity of town and village throughout the whole distance, yet, from the care with which the line has been laid down, so as to avoid property covered with build ings, and to take advantage of open and unoccupied spaces, the value of the ground to be purchased will not be nearly so great as, from the nature of the localities, would be inferred. By the adop tion of the Atmospheric principle, or some equally eligible made of working, the annoyances, inseparable from the locomotive system will be obviated, and the advantage of almost constant trains, so in dispensable to this densely -populated district, will be secured. The population of the various places at which stations are proposed to be erected on the present line is not less than 200,000, and to give some idea of the large amount of traffic which may be calculated upon, it may be stated that the present annual income derived from the carriage of passengers, by omnibuses alone, amounts to above 10,0001. ; under these circumstances, no doubt can be entertained of a very ample return for the capital required for this important work. The preliminary announcements of this undertaking have referred to it as the London, Brentferd, Hounslow, and Great Western Junc tion Company —a title which the Provisional Committee have %pea further consideration, altered to the present designation, in order to distinguish it from other schemes similar in name, but differing in their proposed course. The surveys of the line are completed, and every arrangement will be made for applying to Parliament for an Act in the ensuing session, previously to which the plans will be laid before the Metropolitan Commissioners of Improvement for their approval. Applications for shares, in the subjoined form, may be made, ad dressed to the Provisional Committee, at the temporary Offices of the Company, 18, Parliament-street, to the Solicitors and Parlia mentary Agents, and to the following agents and sharebrokers : Messrs.

Sept. 12, 1845. WELSH SOUTH 1 STOW, FOREST OF JUNCTION EXTENSION RAIL (Registered Capital 900,000?., in 45, To effect this important object, an area of 10 acres of ground (the southern boundary of which is within 500 yards of the Bank 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 1,300,0001. 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. In conjunction with this enlarged plan, it is intended to embrace that of a branch line to the present station of the Eastern Counties Railway in Shoreditch, which will effect an entire junction between 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 to the north of the Thames, and give full development to each of their schemes by creating for them a 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 importance will be realised throughout the whole of this short but very valuable line of railway. 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 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, therefore, 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, filly 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-thire.s 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 following products are derived:— Ann.

The capital, as now extended, will be divided into 65,000 shares of 201. each, upon which a deposit of 21. 9s. 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 compliance 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 deposit 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, on or before the lst of October next, in exchange for which they will obtain a certificate upon which the bankers of the Company will receive the =mint of the difference payable, and, upon producing the receipt and signing the new Parliamentary Deeds, fresh scrip will be delivered to them.

Smith, Esq., Truro In compliance with the suggestion of the Committee of the House of Lords (the measure having previously received the sanction of the Board of Trade, and the approval of the House of Commons), a Orr ther and most accurate survey of the whole line of country traversed between Plymouth and Falmouth has been determined upon, and Mr. Brunel has been instructed to carry out their Lordships' recom mendation. The construction of a line from or near Launceston, by way of Cre diton to Exeter, forming a part of the North Devon scheme, by which it is proposed to give railway accommodation to the northern and central parts of that county, has rendered it most desirable that a junction should be effected between the Cornwall Railway and North Devon line; Mr. Brunel has therefore been instructed to extend his survey with a view to effect this junction, and to afford direct com munication with Exeter and the North of Devon. By the proposed plan the following objects will be obtained—a continuous line of railway from Penzance and Falmounth to Ply mouth, and thence by the South Devon line to Exeter. A direct line by way of Launceston and Crediton to Exeter. From Launces ton a line through Tavistock to Plymouth, and by the North Devon Railway a line through Barnstaple and South Molten to juin the Bristol and Exeter line at Tiverton and Taunton. By the connexion which will thus be formed between the Cornwall Railway and the South Devon, North Devon, and West Cornwall Railways, the most complete and comprehensive system of railway communication will be provided for the West of England, giving the utmost amount of accommodation to all the principal towns and places in the counties of Cornwall and Devon. In the county of Cornwall the towns of Penzance, St. Ives, Mara zion, Hoyle, Cambome, Redruth, Falmouth, Penryn, Truro, St Austell, Lostwithiel, Bodmin, Wadebridge, Liskeard, Launceston and Torpoint, and the great mining, commercial, trading, and agri cultural parishes and districts of the county will have the benefit of railway communication ; while the ports of St. Ives, Portreath, New Quay, and Padstow on the north coast, and Mount's Bay, Falmouth, Mevagissey, Pen tuan,_Cha&NAiibrEOufrczoilcimath: win mrunec distances of the main line In the laying out of the Cornwall Railway advantage will also be taken of the several local railways already formed or now in course of construction. In carrying these objects into effect the Company will have the most cordial co-operation and support of its associated Companies, namely, the Great Western, the Bristol and Exeter, Bristol and Gloucester, the South Devon, the North Devon, and West Cornwall Railways. Considerable progress has already been made in the survey. INCREASE OF CAPITAL. In order to effect the suggested Improvements and extension the capital will be increased by a sum of 600,0001., by the creation of half-shares of 25/. each, upon which a deposit of 21. 101. will be pay able on allotment. These shares will be issued to the Shareholders in the proportion of one half share for each share now held by them, provided application be made by them in the form and manner and within the time hereinafter specified. In cases where the shares were not originally allotted to them the parties must be approved of by the Committee. A portion of the shares will be reserved to meet the requirements of the various local interests. INCREASE OF DEPOSITS. In consequence of the new standing orders of Parliament requiring a deposit of 101. per cent., instead of 51. per cent., as heretofore, it is requisite to call for the further payment of 21. per share on the shares already issued. The Shareholders will therefore be called upon to pay the flirther sum of 21. per share on the shares respectively held by them. All holders of Scrip Certificates or of Bankers' Receipts, are re quested to forward the same to the Secretary, on or before Tuesday, the 30th day of September instant, 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 Certificates, on or before that day, will forfeit all benefit of their shares ; and original subscribers falling by the same day to transmit their Scrip Certificates, or Bankers' Receipts, will forfeit their right to an additional number of shares. Any parties wishing to withdraw, will be entitled to receive 20s. per share, on application to the Bankers, and on giving up their Scrips 011 or before the 30th day of September instant.

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 of the former, and to the east, south, and west of the latter; and the proposed Line from Cambridge to Oxford, continuing to that city the course of Railway from the north-eastern parts of the island, esquires 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 communication be tween the north-eastern and western and south-western parts of Englund, will afford to the borough of Abingdon, the market towns of Wantage, Hungerford, and Ludgershall, and the adjacent villages, an important railway accommodation, of which the agricultural districts in which they aro 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 want of railway accommodation kas 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 Ilungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits and advantages produced by railway traffic. It has therefore been determined to commence the proposedli ne 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 London. By continuing the projected rallwa . y 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, Hungeriord and Lodgers. hall to Salisbury, and thence to tke south and western ports and dis tricts. A map of the line, and a statistical report of the whole country intended to be traversed, is in course of preparation, and with the names of an influential provisional Committee, will very shortly be published. In the meantime, further information may be ob tained from Messrs. Elmslie and Preston, London, solicitors to the undertaking, to whom, at present, applica Um for shares may be made. 47, Moorgate-street, , 1845 , Name in full Residence .........

Independently of its numerous local advantages, it will open a nearly direct communication between the Essex coast and many of the most important places in Holland and Belgium, and more par ticularly with Hamburgh, the Rhine, Ostend, Middleburgh, Antwerp, Rotterdam, and Amsterdam. The extraordinary facilities of intercourse and communication which will thus be provided will form a most important source of revenue; and it is intended that a branch line shall be hereafter formed ftom Orsett, by Baker's-street, Chadwell, Thurrock, and Li.tle Thurrock, via Tilbury, t o G ravesend, which cannot fail to pro cure a large amount of traffic, and will enable parties to poeeed from London to Gravesend in less than an hour ! t or IllealiVi rlir:t e" ..t . , l .....to - jo ne otM ouh u-Yeascls, to-- at all times, for land ing and embarking passengers and general merchandise, and the construction of this railway cannot fail to esbablish it as a packet station of the highest importance to Belgium and Holland as well, as eng ers in t o co to England.

' The distribution of coal throughout the southern portions of the county of Essex and other localities more inland will form an im portant item of revenue, as will the carriage of Purfieet lime for building and agricultural purposes. The great fisheries on the liesex goast will also form a considerable source of profit, and an immense number of persons will avail themselves of the means of this rail way to go to and from the metropolis and the following places, viz., Gravesend, Southend, Sheerness, Herne Bay, Margate, and Ramp.' gate. It is also important to observe that by the sal of the Graves end and Rochester, and the proposed Rochester and Maidstone Rail ways, this line will also provide a valuable medium of communica tion between the centre of Kent and London and the eastern coun ties. The engineers of the line have reported " that neither tunnels nor heavy embankments, nor large excavations will require to be made on any portion of the proposed line ; that it is wholly free from engineering difficulties, and may be construe ed at a compa ratively small cost." The promoters of this railway have great pleasure in stating that" The Eastern Counties Railway Compa ny. .. in a letter to the Solicitors of this Company, dated 9th June, 1545, have signified " that, in the event of the proposed line being eon. structed, they will be very happy to co-operate in affording it all the usual facilities."

It aces the London and Birmingham Railway the whole distance to Birmingham ; from thence it proceeds to Wolverhampton either on the Grand Junction or on th e - Wolverhampton, Dudley, and Birming ham Railway. From Wolverhampton commences the new po-tion of railway, passing through the rich agricultural districts of Newport and White church on to Chester. At Chester it proceeds on the Chester and Birkenhead Railway on to Birkenhead. It is proposed to establish at Birkenhead a steam-ferry, gratis, to Liverpool, across the Mersey, so as to unite both towns into one. A preference in the allotment of shares will be given to the extent of 15,000 to the original shereholders in the Rugby, Derby, and Man chester Railway Company, on their sending in their application for the same. A roper reservation of shares will be made for the London and Birmingham, Chester and Birkenhead, and Warwickshire Railways, being the railways by means of which the project now submitted to the public is the most direct London and Liverpool Railway that can be made. A list of most influential London and Local 'Directors will be pub lished in a few days, together with a detailed list of Bankers, Agents, &c., in the different towns on the line. In the meantime, applications for shares may by addressed to the Solicitor or any of the Agents o the Company, in the following form : DIRECT LONDON AND LIVERPOOL RAILWAY.

This Line will join the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway at Chepstow, and extend westward near to Piercifield, the far-famed Windcliff, and Tiutern Abbey, to the towns of Usk and Pontypool, and over the centre of the great iron and coal field of South Wales, passing near to and through the midst of the extensive iron works and collieries of Monmouthshire and Glamor ganshire, to join the Aberdare branch of the Taff Vale Railway, w i hich connects Merthyr Tydvil and Aberdare with Cardiff—thus forming a much more direct and almost straight Line—by means of the railways already made and projected between those immensely populous districts, and the centre of the kingdom and London, by means of which the journey by land will be shortened between the metropolis and this great seat of industry to four and a half, and between Newport and Cardiff to five hours, which at present, even by the aid of existing railways, cannot be performed in less than frOtn ten to twelve hours. It will be found by reference to the official census of 1831 and 1841, that the average increase of population of the county of Mon mouth exceeded that of any other county in England or Wales ; this fact is • referred to as illustrative of the rising importance of the country through which this railway is intended to pass, and of the very large passenger traffic which may reasonably be calculated upon. The town of Usk, with Ragland, and the rich agricultural district for many miles around, aro supplied by carts from the vicinity of Pontypool with coal and lime, which are there obtained at a cheap rate, and In return cattle and provisions of all kinds, hay, corn, and pit timber to an enormous extent, are sent to the iron works and collieries, where the consumption is immense. This traffic alone must necessarily ensure a considerable revenue to the Company, in dependent of the great traffic from the manufactured iron, fire bricks, and paving stone, which is of superior quality, and in great abundance. The present cost of conveying and delivering iron and tin plates from the works to London, including transit to the port, shipping charges, freight, and insurance, amounts to little less than 20s. per ton, whilst by this railway, and those it is intended to join, the average cost at the rate usually charged for such goods on rail ways will effect a saving of at least 25 per cent., and be conveyed within twenty-four hours, instead of the average voyage round the Land's End of three, and not unfrequently six weeks, and with the very important advantage of d e livering the iron free from rust, which is unavoidable on a sea voyage, in small bars more particu. tarty, causing a deterioration of frem 15s. to 20s. per ton at least. This railway, by means of the Chepstow, Forest of Dean., and Gloucester Junction, and the Birmingham and Gloucester Railways, will open Birmingham as a market for the manufactured iron of South Wales, from which it has been in a measure excluded, ftom the difficult and expensive transit by the River Severn and Canals. Large quantities ofiron ore, known as " Hoematete ore," is imported into Wales, from Lancashire, Cumberland, Devon, and Cornwall; whilst ore of a similar quality, and equal productiveness for iron making, exists in abundance in the Forest of Dean, and may be raised and delivered from thence by means of this and the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway to the different iron works in Monmouthshire and Glamorganshire at an average of from 95 to 30 per cent. less than it costs at present, and at the same time leave a handsome remuneration to the Railway Companies. The Committee of Management have gone very careflilly into estimates of the goods traffic esi.ecially, and they feel justified in expressing a decided opinion that the revenue from this source alone will yield 5 per cent. on the proposed capital of tho Company, in addition to the revenue to be derived from the other traffic. This Railway will pass close to, and within a fe'w miles of, all the iron and tin works of Monmouthshire, and the principal part of those in Glsmorganshire ; and the following short statistic of the extent of those stupendous undertakings will give an idea of the vat importance of the pfosent project. The iron and tin works tem.. menco at Pontypool, and are 1. The Pontymoile Tin and Iron Works 2. The Blaendare Iron and Coal Works 8. The extensive Tin Works of Messrs. Conway, Messrs. Fother gill, and Messrs. Jenkins 4. The Peutwyn, Golonos, and Varteg Iron Works and Rolling Mills S. The British Iron Company 6. The Blaenavon Iron Company 7. The Nantylylo 8. The Coalbrooke Vale `9. The Cwn Celyn and Blaine Company 10. The Beaufort 11. The Ebbw Vale 12. The Victoria Company 13. The Abbercarne, Pontymister, and Tydee Tin Works, Messrs. Lewis 14. The Ti edegar Iron Company 15. The Shirhowey 16. The Rhyniney and Bute Company 17. The Dowlais Iron Works 15. Carfartha. Added to which, in the vicinity, are the extensive works and collieries in the Aberdare Valley, and on either side :of the !Wendel railway are collieries raising and vending about one million and a half tons of coal per annum, which it is not unreasonable to ex pect will be greatly extended, by the facilities offered through the intended railway. In the districts of Merthyr, Aberdare, and westward, thee exts an inexhaustible abundance of a peculiar description of coal, r whicish, though inflammable, is nearly smokeless, and is found to be superior in quality for steam purposes to any yet known. In the London market It meets with a ready sale at 30 per cent. higher than any of the best north country Hartley's ; and notwithstanding the high price, so highly is it esteemed, that the present importation amounts to nearly 100,000 tons per annum. This coal for the most part Is brought from a distance of 24 miles, and shipped at Cardiff, front whence freights to London have averaged from 10s. to 1I s. per ton during the past year; but so uncertain is the supply to the metropo lis, owing to the scarcity of ships on the Welsh coast, and the long and precarious navigation round the Laud's End, that many who are anxious to adopt their engine grates for its use, are deterred from the toe great uncertainty which exists against obtaining a regular and constant supply; these difficulties will be entirely superseded by the proposed railway, and these it is intended to join, with the great additional advantage and impetus to increased use and consumption, that it may be delivered to the consumer at from 2s. to 3s. per ton less price than at present. Under such circumstances, it will not appear unreasonable to those unacquainted with the trade, to expect that the consumption in the metropolis alone will be increased four fold, whilst a new-found trade will be opened out with ChopsteW, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Witney, Oxford, and the numerous inter mediate towns to London, where steam coal is used. It has been considered more judicious to form a separate Company for the Extension line from Chepstow to the Tat' Vale, than to alter the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway Company at present, but powers are proposed to be taken for uniting the two Companies hereafter, with the assent of their respective Boards of Direction. Preference will be given to those locally interested, and to -the holders of Shares in the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway. A reference to the map will show the Importance of this line as forming a direct line of railway communication between the great mineral district of Monmouthshire and Glamorganshires with the heart of the Kingdom and London. It may confidently be stated that in connexion with the Chep stow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction itailway, there Is not a line of railroad in the Kingdom which Wfers greater advan tages to the Shareholders than the presert. Provision will be made in the Act of Parliament which will 'i fr e applied for in the next ses sion to limit the liability of the Shareholder to the amount of his shares, and to allow four per erent. on the calls. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Company shall be under the control of the Managing Directors, to whom power is given to allot the Shares, and to apply the Mnds of the Company in payment of all the expenses incurred in its forma- Hen, and in the preparation of the Plans and Sections submitted to Parliament. Power will be applied for in the Act (and in the meantime is hereby given to the Mtelaging Directors as above), to raise any addi tional capital, to extend or abandon any branch of the line, to make branch lines, or enter into any arrangements, by amalgamation or Otherwise, with any other company or companies, and also to nomi nate the first Directors of the Company.
