That another and a more direc t s .4 1ine of railway the metropolis and the manufacturing districts around Manchester is adopted. the question is, WI The above proposed railway will form the shortest and most di rect. route from Lo n d on to Manchester, and will therefore complete t the direct commual ca ti on with ns metropoli s a t a much l ex projected L on d on and Men. diture of capital tha n by either of the es s Chester lines (Reminit on ' s and A h eonstrosted being only 73, insesseso 170 to 1110 miles.urses), the ac t ual distan an f ce to be A careful preliminary survey has determ ined railway to adopt nearly a straightune the pro mo t ers of this an increased expenditure of 200,0001 . or 3 50,0001. Rugby to ma cc l es tl eid, s the prossent perfected state of civil engineering,' oool. judicially applied in of the execution of earth works, will prov eh r t si at the r e d uce d cost real economy, both to the Company Its e lf in th e he end a far greater the annual expense of working, and also, what is saving eff ec t ed in of more to the country in general, by accomplishing, at amportance, much less cost, the same end proposed by an entire and distinct line from Londo n t o Manchester. These considerations have not been sufficiently kept in view by other parties who have also proposed to make a rail way from Rugb y to Macclesfield, but who, by deviating from the direct tract to pursue valleys and to avoid the irregularities of the face of the country , obviously lose the advantages proposed by this Company. The Pe rli am e n ta ry decision on the choice of the London and Brighton Railway is a parallel case, the direct line, although presenting more difficulties to overcomesafid involving a greater outlay, having been adopted by Parliament In preference to the manycompeting projects, in a more or less sinuous direction, which were at that time supported in the House by very influential parties. fhould It No found necessary, arrangements have been Made by which additional lines of rails will be laid between Rugby and Lon don on the London and Birmingham Railway, whereby the surplus traffic northwards will be abundantly provided for. This line also possesses the singular advantage of aftbrding the Aorta* sag _post direct route from Manchester to Southamp t on , Gosport,Rirtandilth, sti testate presented by no other proposed railway. By adopting the Rugby and Oxford branch of the Great Weitern as far as Didcot, and thence the proposed Oxford, Southamp ton, Gosport, and Portsmouth line, the distance from Manchester to Southampton will be twenty-three miles less than by any other rout e and on this account the project has been warmly supported by th Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth Railway Company. The deviations from a perfectly straight line be ween Rugby and Macclesfield to avoid high ranges of hills, ornamental parks, or valuable buildings are very slight, and the line in general offers no engineering difficulties of any magnitude. The towns more directly interested as a local line are Nuneaton, Hinckley, Atherstone, Market Bosworth, Burton-upon-Trent, Tutbury, Ashbourne, and Leek. The Company has made arrangements with the North Londo Junction Railway Company, whereby it has secured the use.) station (of the extent of six acres) in the centre of the City of Londmi, at the bottom of Moorgate-street, which will prove of the utmost - g importance to this line. Amidst the many railway projects that now occupy the public g mind, and involve a vast outlay of capital, it will readily be conceded El that a line that will attain such important results at so small an outlay of capital, and the time required for its construction, and without interfering with any existing vested interests, must meet ". with general approbation, and at the same time offer a very excellent ••?. " 0 • investment for capital o The shareholders in the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Ports mouth, in the London and Birmingham, and in the Manchester and Birmingham Railways, will have a preference in the allotment of ti the shares. The deeds will provide that ro call shall be made on the share holders beyond the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament is obtained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 41. per cent. Interest on all Calls.

S. and J. R. Poole At Tiverton At Truro At Penzance At Falmouth The object of this line is to effect a direct communication between London and the Land's End. In a national point of view such a line is indispensable. With the advantage of a direct railroad, Falmouth, from its positioa at the western extremity of the kingdom, would undoubtedly long since have been the principal port on that coast. With the advantage of at least 280 miles of heavy road, that place has attained its high po sition as a Packet Station. Southampton, with far less natural ad vantages, has, since the opening of the South-Western Railway, in creased its imports from 200,000/. to 3,000,0001. per annum. At Bris tol, before the opening of the Great Western Railway, the imports were declining ; since then they have very considerably increased. The merits of a line to the Land's End as an investment for ca pital, it was not left to the present Company to discover. The Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Railway having already reached Exeter, it has been in contemplation to extend that line to Fal mouth by way of Plymouth ; and various other projects have been set on foot on the conviction that Falmouth must be reached by railway. The object of this prospectus is to show that no other line than the present can ultimately satisfy the exigencies of the country in regard to this, its most important outport—" the natural Packet Station of the empire." The present project is distinguished by this—that it is direct. It is as nearly as possible a straight line from London to the Land's End. The London, Bath, and Bridgewater Company having amalga mated with this Company, the immense local influence commanded by them will now contribute to the great national object of a direct line ; while means have been taken for securing the traffic and afford ing all the accommodation contemplated by that Company. The Direct Western availing itself of the Great Western Railway so far as Reading, pursues its course by or near Newbury, Hunger ford, Great Bedwin, Marlborough, Devizes, the manufacturing dis trict of Trowbridge (from which a diverging line will be carried by Bradford direct to Bath), Westbury, Frome, Shepton Mallet, Wells (from which another diverging line will be taken to Bridgewater), Glastonbury to Taunton, being shorter by about thirty-two miles than any existing or project e d ra ilways between these points, and without a leased From Taunton the Bristol and Exeter Railway (now pro d to the Great Western) is traversed to Tiverton, whence It Is Posed to carry this line direct to the Land's End, Falmouth, St. Ives, and Pen7ane • lately p roposed i iheei, being shorter by about sixty miles than the di, anea from London y way of Plymouth, and effecting, in the whole \Vita ren,,,, t needless to say more clam to justify the tern ; that it will tothe to Falmouth, a saving of about ninety miles. traffic between London and Tiverton, it is c than that there is already thorough traffic ' sufli onstruetion of this miles that the cut - portion of the Direct Wes tern tame from London to Tiverton . about 32 it will traverse nth aud PoPulous agricultural and manufacturing districts, and receive a large amount of traffic as well from railways now In course of construction as from ethers pro jected, with every chance of success. As to the traffic on the lower portion of the line, it is evident that the vast number of merchant vessels continually detained in the Channel by adverse winds, would effect an immense saving both in Insurance and time, by discharging their cargoes at Falmouth, and at once transmitting them to their destination by means of this railway; and therefore—without speculating on the extent to which the ports on either side of the great promontory of the Land's End may, by means of this railroad, attract the commerce respectively of Bristol and Southampton ; to what extent the inexhaustible mineral wealth of Cornwall, and the unrivalled agricultural resources of Devonshire may be further developed, or the genial climate of Penzance and Mount's Bay, " the Montpellier of England," attract a larger propor tion of winter visitants—it is obvious that this line will command a traffic both in goods and passengers, from its western terminus, the amount of which may be said to be without limit. A glance at the map will make it.manifest that no competing trunk line can ever be established between Tiverton and the Land's End. As between Taunton and Reading, an inspection of the map will show a vast ex tent of midland district, comprising rich and populous parts of So mersetshire, Dorsetshire, and Wiltshire, now altogether destitute of railroad accommodation. Recurring to the features of this project as a national work, one of the greatest in point of magnitude, of vital importance in the event of war, and of almost incalculable advantage to the general and packet commerce of the kingdom ; it may not be out of place to quo te h e re the following expressions of Sir Robert Peel. Speaking of the project of a direct line from London to Liverpool through the Trent Valley, which bore much the same relation to the Binningham and Grand Junction that this bears to the Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Railways, he is reported to have said : —"I consider that the com munication between the metropolis and the great outports to be not a question of hours, but a question of minutes." Of the necessity of this particular line, Parliament has already expressed an opinion ; for in the report of the Committee on the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth line, which was promoted by the Great Western Railway Company, it was stated that that Company had been required to pledge itself not hereafter to oppose a direct line to Falmouth; and it may be further observed, that a proposed line from Plymouth to Falmouth was last session rejected, on the ground that it might be supposed to interfere with that great national object. The survey of the line has been to a great extent completed, and correct estimates of the expenditure and returns are in a state of for wardness, and the whole will be ready for the next session of Par liament. It is sufficient, as to these points, here to state that there are no engineering difficulties in any part of the line which have not been repeatedly surmounted in other cases ; that the first portion will be constructed at an unusually small expense ; that the undertaking will meet with the cordial support, concurrence, and co-operation of the lan'lowners, and that the Directors are justified in asserting that this will prove to be one of the most remunerative railways in the kingdom. Powers will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at four pounds per centum per annum an the deposit s , ca d pre f erence in the allotment of shares will be given to the proprietors of the land through which the line will pass, and to the shareholders in the Great Western, the Bristol and Exeter, and other railways coanected with the Direct Western district.

LOCAL AGENTS. It appears that England will be divided longitudinally by four grem lines of railway, which will become so many main trunks, intersec- Mg and intersected by numerous lines, both transverse and oblique, opening rapid and ready communication with the intermediate dis tricts, with packet stations, and with sea-port towns. The more easterly of these, which is also the longest, originating at Newcastle upon-Tyne, and passing through York, Peterborough, and Cambridge, may be said to terminate in London, whence all places are accessible. The second line, counting westward, is more tortuous, and has also a common northern terminus with the preceding, by which its ad vantages are materially restricted. This line, descending the Ere wash Vale, and passing through Rugby and Oxford, becomes a South ampton line by falling into the South-Western Railway at Basing stoke. The third longitudinal line, Or the most westerly, is still more de fective in design than the preceding ; employing the steep and narrow railway called the Birmingham and Gloucester as its first link, it traverses nearly in a right line the least populous and most undulating Parts of Gloucester, Berks, Wilts, and Hants ; and, properly speaking, has no independent terminus. A large longitudinal section of the kingdom—the West Midland district—a districrinviting a similar species of accommodation from concentrated local advantages, still remains unprovided with a chief trunk line ; and it is contemplated to remedy this deficiency by the present undertaking, or a fourth longitudinal line. Adopting Birmingham as a northern terminus of the West Mid land, Manchester, and Southampton Railway, it is proposed to carry a line through or near to Stratford-on-Avon, thence between Moreton, Stow, Northleach, Fairford, Cricklade, and Swindon, where it will merge in the South and Midlands' Junction Railway. The length of the proposed line will be about sixty mile!, and the district traversed by it is gently undulating and densely peOpled. At its southern terminus, Swindon, it becomes identical with tha South and Midlands, by means.of which it opens a most lirect communica tion liitherto suggested with the harbours of Weyinouth, Christ church, Poole, . and Southampton. At its northern terminus, Bir mingham, it communicates with a series. of lines, projected,,,in pro gress, or completed, w hi c h will f orm the most direct line that can ever be constructed between the southern ports of England and the great manufacturing districts. In the alliance of Laos forming the West Midland, Manchester, and Southampton Railway project, a combination of advantages pre sents itself—the result of a design, to a great extent, but of contin gencies also. If it be desirable that the terminus of every railway should be situated at some commercial or populous plaee, in this re spect the present project is peculiarly fortunate. If Government be resolved on countenancing the shortest and most direct lines, it will be seen, by laying a rule on the map of England from Salisbury to Manchester, that a course due north and south between these places will pass very nearly through the towns mentioned in this prospectus, as being on the proposed line; and actual measurement has shown this line to be the shortest between Southampton and Manchester by 26 miles. By the construction, therefore, of little more than 60 miles of rail, as here proposed, the shortest, most direct, and convenient communication between Manchester and Southampton will be es tablished--a line, also, however superior in ptr-ition to others pro mising similar advantages. may yet be considered as competing with none, but as an independent work, originating at Birmingham and terminating in the seaports of Weymouth, Christchurch, Poole, and Southampton. In the allotment of shares in this Company the Directors propose to give a preference to the original shareholders of the South and Midlands' Junction Railway Company. _ Applications for prospectuses and plans may be made, and forms of application for shares had, at the Office of W.

The great difficulty, delay, and expense attending the transit of passengers and goodsfiom liii . igston to Montego Bay and the inter mediate ports, either by sea or land, is well known to all persons conversant with the islan I of Jamaica. The average passage by steamer between Montego Bay and King. ston, occupies forty-four hours ; and the costs, including expenses on the route, amount to nearly 51. each passenger, while the quickest journey by land occupies three days, and the expenses, including horse hire, reach nearly 201. By the railway the whole line will be traversed in eight hours, at an expense not exceeding an average of 30s. per passenger. The difference in the freights between the northern and southern sides of the island and England is such, that independently of the saving of time, this railway will enable proprietors on the northern side, after payment of the costs of transit, to ship their produce at much lass expense than at present, and will afford them the advan tage of sh'pping at all times from the very exce'lent harbour of King ston, instead of being confined, as they now are, to the exposed ports f the east and north of the island. The line will commence at a spacious quay, to be constructed at Kingston Harbour, with a depth of water sufficient for vessels of the largest tonnage employed in the export trade of the Island ; at or near to which point it is proposed to form a Junction -with the King ston and Spanish Town Railway, and proceed thence by or'near Rock Fort, Yallahs, Morant Town, Port Morant, Plantain Garden, Man chioneal Harbour, Port Antonio, Buff Bay, Anotto Bay, Port Maria, t. Ann's, Duncan, Martha Brae, and terminate at or near Montego 1 ay. By these means a line of intercommunication will be formed h etween the most important and populous places, and facility offered for carriage of the produce of the most productive portion of the island. Through the southern portion of the line, the physical features are gentle elevations, almost parallel to the principal range of moun tains, which run east and west, nearly the length of the island ; the eastern portion, from Port Morant to Plantain Garden, is almost level ; while the northern runs through an exceedingly rich country, rising into hills separate from each other by spacious vales. The whole of the country traversed by the line abounds in the staple ar tcles of sugar, coffee, rum, molasses, ginger, pimento, and other Spices, dye wood, drugs, &c. ; and as more than one-third of the land is still uncultivated, the production of these articles will, by the increased facility for traffic, be greatly increased ; and cotton, indigo, cocoa, &c., and dry stuffs, at present unimported, will again be brought into extensive cultivation. Timber of great variety abounds along the line ; besides the pimento tree, which flourishes spontaneously, there are mahogany, lignum vitx, ebony, Spanish elm, fine cedar, and other trees of enormous bulk. The line will also bring largely into use the valuable palmetto, and various other woods for agricultural and household purposes, aid cabinet works. The mineral wealth of the country on the line is very considerable ; lead ore is extremely rich and heavily impregnated with silver ; whilst every variety of copper ore is found in abundance. Carbonate of lime, valuable as manure, &c., of which Long Mountain is com posed, will form a considerable item in the tables of traffic. The peculiarly favourable circumstances attending the construction of this Railway render it highly probable that a considerable portion of the capital demanded will not be required, as every material* necessary for its formation is to be found on the line, and should the atmospheric principle of propulsion be adopted, the necessity for ant tinge and embankments will be generally superseded. A gratuitous grant of the unappropriated land required for the line, and the free use of all the timber, stone, &c., necessary for its con struction, will, it is expected, be ceded by the Legislative Assembly ; —the mineral wealth, which may be developed by the construction of the line, will accompany the grants of the land, and may be leased to capitalists .. T the benefit of the Shareholders. Of the vatic is imports, and the internal traffic, a satisfactory esti mate can sea cely be given —it will be sufficient to state, that Coals, Fish, Lime and Salt, empty Puncheons, Shingles, Bricks, Hoops, Lead, Timber, Provisions, Cattle, Flour, Tobacco, Hardwares, and Manufactures generally, form important soxrces of profit. The working expenses of the railway will require but a moderate per centage, and from all the circumstances already stated, and care ful Inquiries into the traffic, there can be no doubt that this line of railway will yield a very remunerative return upon the capital re quired, and the speedy communication established between the island and Great Britain, by means of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, will enable the Directors in this country to exercise an efficient control over the management of the affairs of the island. The Committee propose to make provision in the Local Act for the payment of 4% per cent. interest upon the amount paid upon the shares from She passing of the Bill until the opening of the line.

SOLICITORS—Messrs. Tilson and Squance, Coleman-street, This Company is formed to supply the valuable island of Trinidad with the advantages of railway communication. No part of the British dominions appears to present greater natural facilities for their construction, or to afford a better prospector return for the capital required to be invested. From the time that the island was ceded to the British Crown, at the peace of Amiens, it steadily advanced until the abolition of slavery, when it sustained a severe check, in common with the other colonies, though its production was not diminished in the same pro portion. The fertility of its soil, and the high wages of labour, have since that period attracted emigrants from all parts, and especially from the other West India Islands—so that cultivation has been gradually restored, as will be seen by the official statement of exports. And, according to the census lately taken, the population appears to have increased in the same period fifty per cent. As the arrangements now made for encouraging Immigration pro mise to bring a large accession of labour into the colony, so the re i s every probability that its production will be progressively aug mented. It may be doubled without any addition to the existing establishments: and it is capable of indefinite extension, there being still in the possession of the Crown upwards of a million of acres of the finest virgin land within the tropics. With the increase of popu lation, and the prosperity of agriculture, there would of course be a corresponding increase of traffic. In forming a system of railway communications which will suit the present condition of Trinidad, and which will yield an immediate re turn, it is, therefore, desirable to contemplate their gradual extension with the advancement of the colony. An outline of such a plan has been submitted to the Secretary of State for the Colonies ; and, although no conclusive arrangement can be made without the assent of the Legislative Council of the island, Lord Stanley has intimated that "he is willing to give every en couragement he can to the proposed undertaking, consistently with his duty of watching over the interests of the colony, and that he will recommend the subject to the favourable consideration of the Local Government." _ _ . Under this recommendation it is expected that a great part of the land, as well as all the timber, which may he required for the con struction of the railways, and the works connected therewith, will be obtained gratuitously from the Crown ; and it is also confidently be lieved that individual proprietors will in like manner grant the land for the lines that may intersect their estates. The precise course of the=e lines will depend, in some degree, upon this encouragement. It is further anticipated that liberal grants of Crown lands, contiguous to the railways, will be made in connexion with their progressive extension. These concessions, while justly made in consideration of important public advantages, will be of great value to the Company, both im mediately and prospectively. As the Company will be able to conduct the transport of produce, and the conveyance of passengers, at ono-third, or even one-fourth, of the present expense (which appears to be from three to four shillings per ton per mile), with the additional advantage of cer tainty at all seasons, and protection from waste and plunder, there can be no doubt that their railways will command the whole of the existing traffic in the districts which they are to traverse, as well as any increase which may arise. It appears that a single line, with passing places, sufficient to ac e.,niiodLite four-fifths of the cultivatcl parts of the colony, may he constructed for the amount of capital now proposal ; and upon a. careful examination oz"the probable revenue, the PrOvisioneCom mittee are Satisfied that it will yield a large return. It is proposed that the Engineer of the Company shall proceed forthwith to Trinidad, accompanied by an adequate number of Sur veyors, for the purpose of surveying the intended lines ; and that no plan shall be finally adopted until he makes a detailed report. He will be put in communication with Au influential Ana intelligent Committee in the colony, who will afford the r p ost cordial co-opdal tion and support. for Provision will be made in the Act coma siting the CompanY limiting the responsibility of the Shareholders to the amount of the' respective subscriptions.
