The project has been registered, full particulars of which will appear in a few days. WILLIAM PROTHEROE, Secretary. 10, Old Jewry Chambers. PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT. THE BRISTOL AND DOVER DIRECT JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY, connecting Bristol, Wales, and the important Western and North-western Districts with Kent and France. (Provisionally Registered.) Capital 800,0001., in 32,000 Shares of 251. each. Deposit 2/. 15s. per Share. In pursuance of the new Standing Orders of the House of Lords. This line is projected for the purpose of affording a direct communi cation between the two great ports mentioned in its title, and to effect this purpose it is proposed to commence at Devizes, which by other projects is about to be placed in connexion with Bath and Bristol. It will then pass in a south-easterly direction through or near and giving a communication to the populous and important towns of Lud gershall, Andover, Whitchurch, Basingstoke (where the Southampton Railway has a station), Ociiham, and Farnham to Godalming. Here it will form a junction with other lines, which will complete the communication to the Reigate station of the London and Dover Rail way • or, should it be necessary, in consequence of the failure of any of the projected railways in this locality, the present project will itself be extended to Dorking and Reigate, at which latter point the Brighton Railway is united with the Dover.

The object proposed by this railway is, as well to supply the wants of the district through which it passes, as to complete the chain of railway communication between the eastern and midland counties and the western district, including the whole of North and South Wales. _ _ . The country embraced by this line is of the richest description, and thickly populated. By means of this, and the existing and projected lines of railway, the whole of the ports in the eastern and north-eastern counties, in- 1 eluding the manufacturing city of Norwich, and towns of Leicester, Nottingham, Sheffield, feeds, and the whole of Yorkshire will be brought in' dir'ect communication with the mineral districts of North and South Wakes, the salt district of Droitwich, and the river Severn. The promoters of this line submit to the public, as a most import ant consideration, the alfating of those causes of loss and inconveni ence which, along the line of country over which this railway will pass, are experienced from water carriage being from necessity at present a principal mode of transit for heavy goods and merchandise, and which,i n the winter season, is productive of the most evil con sequences to those eng: wed in commerce. A manifest advantage tn the Shareholders will be the extent of traffic which will be secured And appropriated by the present undertaking, in lieu of that which hitherto has been engrossed by the more dilatory course of wain' carriage. As a public advantage to the inhabitants generally of the above-mentioned districts, the promoters submit that the equa lisation in prices of the produce and merchandise which the opening of this line of railway is calculated to produce is of the high est importance, and oite of the principal benefits which this and other similar undertakings are alone capable of producing. The proposed line will commence at Rugby, the terminus of the Midland Counties and Trent Valley Railways, and also of the pro posed Rugby and Huntrmgdon Junction Railway, and proceed from thence near to the towns of Leamington, Warwick, and Alcester, and end at the City of Worcester. At Worcester this line will form a junction with the several Welsh railways, the Shrewsbury, Wor cester, and Crewe Rail/ray, and the Oxford, Worcester, and Wol verhampton Railway. At Warwick it will unite with the Birmingham and Oxford Junc tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway. And at Rugby with the London and Birmingham, the Midland Counties, and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railway. To the inhabitants of Rugby as well as to those of the Midland, Eastern, and Northern Counties this line will afford a direct com munication with the fashionable towns of Leamington and Chelten ham, as well as the whole of the Western Counties. ' To the inhabitants of Leamington and Warwick it will give a direct communication with the City of Worcester and North and South Wales, now so much needed. And to the inhabitants of Worcester, in addition to providing the nearest route to London via Warwick, it will be an outlet to the Eastern Counties and ports, and afford great facilities for the increase of the manufactories now carried on in that city. ---.-..- - The whole of the country has during the present month, August, 1845, been most carefully surveyed by the engineers, and they report it to be free from engineering difficulty, and well adapted for a rail way, and the provisional. Directors entertain no doubt that the line will be made under the average rate of expense incident to similar undertakings, and, from the statistics in their possession, that the traffic will afford an ample return for the capital invested. The line will not interfere with any ornamental property, and the landowners are favourable to the undertaking. The Shareholders in the several Railways proposed to be joined or intersected will have a preference in the allotment of shares in this undertaking, No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the Act is obtained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at 4/. per centum on all calls, from the time of their respective payments, and to limit the liability of the Shareholders to the amount of their sub rcriptions. The Directors reserve po• ver to themselves to amalgamate with any existing or projected line of railway ; to vary the route ; to make all desirable extensions; and to increase the capital as may be advisable or necessary. Prospectuses, with a Plan, will be published in a few days, and may then be obtained on application to the several solicitors, and to any of the following share brokers, viz., Messrs. Peppercorne and Co., 2, Old Broad-street ; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39, Loth bury, London ; 3fessrs. Payee and Freer, Leicester ; Messrs. Alston and Gage, Liverpool ; Mess' . s.

This Line, which, subject to the decision of the Gauge Commis sioners, will be constructed on the Broad Gauge principle, will com mence at the Worcester Station of the Great Eastern and Western Railway, and, proceeding by Redditch and Henley-in-Arden, will tcuch Warwick and Leamington, and end at Rugby, the terminus of the Midland Counties Railway and of the proposed Rugby and Hunt ingdon Junction Railway. It will communicate with Droitwich, Studley, Alcester, and Stratford-on-Avon. At Warwick, it will unite with the Birmingham and Oxford Junc tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway ; and at Rugby, with the London and Birmingham, the Midland Counties, and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railways. The country through which it will pass, is thickly populated, and of the richest description. It presents no engineering difficulties, and from its population, its manufactures, and agricultural produce, it possesses sources of stub abundant traffic as to render it highly re munerative to the capitalists. The object proposed is to complete the line of railway communica tion between the Western, Midland, and Eastern portions of the Kingdom, aud a glance at the Map of England will show that this will be effected in the most direct manner by the present line ; touch ing, as it will, at one of its termini, a railway running direct from Swansea to Worcester, and at the other, the projected line from Rugby to Huntingdon—from which point a railway communication has been already provided. By means of this Railway, the manufactures of all the towns and the agricultural produce of the country contained within its range, as well as the Ports on the Eastern and North-Eastern Coast, will have opened to them a direct and unbroken communication with the great and densely-populated mineral fields of South Wales, as well as the markets of the Northern portion of the principality. To the population along the line as well as to the Midland and Northern portions of `he kingdom, this undertaking will present the most direct communication with those towns of fashionable resort— Leamington and Cheltenham. To the inhabitants of Leamington and War wick, it will open the most direct communication with the city of Worcester and South Wales, whilst to the inhabitants of Worcester, it will open the markets of the Eastern portions of the country. The Shareholders in the several railways proposed to be joined or intersected, will have a preference in the allotment of shares in this undertaking. No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the Act is obtained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at four pounds per centum on all calls from the time of their respective payments, and to limit the liability of the shareholder, to the amount of their subscription.

The line of Railway intended to be constructed by this Company will commence at or near Norton Bridge (a station of the Grand Junction Railway), in the county of Stafford, and proceed from thence by Eccleshall, (Wiley, Norbury,' Porton, Newport, Bennington Wood, Oaken Gates, Priors Lee, Stirchley, Bewley, Madeley, and Iron Bridge, to Coalbrook-dale ; there, crossing the proposed " Wor cester and Crewe Railway," it will pass along the slope of Wenlock edge, by Rushbury and Eaton-under -Haywood, to Wistanstow, in the county of Salop, where it will run into, and form a j u nction •ith the " Shrewsbury, Hereford, and North Wales Railway.. The line will traverse a rich mineral district, and will have a secure and extensive traffic by th e carriage of coal from the Shr opshire coal-field, to a depot proposed to be formed a t Wistanstow, for the supply of South Shropshire, part of Radnorshire and also from whence it will be conveyed by the "and Herefordshire, Hereford, Shrews bury, and North Wales Railway ," into Mont g omer y shi re and the neighbouring counties, where co al does not exist. It is impossible to calculate the extent to which this traffic may be carried, as by the direct railway communication thus opened between the Shropshi re coal-field, and the important manufacturing tow ns of Newtown and Llanidloes, the price per ton will be reduced one-half at those places, and the fla nnel manufacturers, now depend ing upon water power, will, by the cheapness of coa l , be enabled to employ steam, and to extend their trade in proportion to , the great demand which exists for the Welsh flannels, in preference to any other. The importance of this subject will have its due weight with those who so often witness the bad effects upon the trade, caused by the stoppage of the mills from an insufficiency of water. A considerable amount of tonnage is now incurred by the Shrop shire ironmasters,f or the conveyance of lime-stone from the neigh bourhood of Much Wenlock to the furnaces, by several transits of land and water carriage, whereas the proposed railway will convey it direct into the heart of the works, and at one-third of the expe nse. By its junction with the " Grand Jutiction" and the " Hereford and Shrewsbury" Railways, this line will form a direct communica tion between Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, York and Hull, and Swansea and South Wales. as be depended upon, As a junction line alone (connecting ;twill such important rail ways), e large passenger trsffic ma y but when it is considered that the centre of the line passes through a densely populated mining district, and the remainder through a thriving agricultural neighbourhood. It will be obvious that a sufficient local traffic exists to pay a highly remunerative interest on the amount of capital required to be embarked. The line, which will no ; interfere with any property of an orn a mental or costly character, will not exceed 46 miles in length, and will be constructed at mud' less than the average cost. Such important local co-operation has been secured, that no oppo sition is anticipated or can be sustained against the measure. The nobility of the Shareholders whl . be limited, by the Act, to the Per annum amount of their subscription to the capitol stock ; and power will be of the line ; and the first applied for to allow interest at the rate of four per cent. on the amount of the deposit, and upon the further calls, from the date of each payment until the opening deposit being paid, a further call will not be made until the Act a eye., are to be obto.lned from the Parliament shall have been obtained.

The Managing Committee of the Leicester and Tamworth Junction Railway Company have determined upon making an extension from their line, commencing at or near Market Bosworth or Twycross, and running from thence by or near Atherstone and the Whitacre Junc tion of the Midlands (late Birmingham and Derby) Midway to Bir mingham. In the allotment of i.hares; - due regard will be had to the interests of the scrip holders in the Leicester and Tamworth Junction Railway Company. The surveys are in progress, and the line is re ported as easy of construction, and free from engineering difficulties. The twofold advantages offered by this project give it a manifest superiority over every other scheme which has yet been devised for traversing this rich and extensive, but hitherto unintersected portion of the Midland Counties. The Leicester and Tamworth Junction, as originally projected, brings, by means of the Trent Valley Railway, the important manufacturing town of Leicester and the Midland and Eastern Counties into immediate communication with the mining districts and wool markets of Staffordshire and Shropshire, the great towns of Liverpool and Manchester, and the intervening :localities ; whilst the projected extension affords the shortest practicable railway route from Leicester to Birmingham, and the western and south western counties of England. The saving in distance between Lei cester and Birmingham will be seen by the following scale : By Rugby By Tamworth Saving _ . . . . Leicester to Liverpool - ..... ....• 117 Leicester to Manchester .... 134 ... ... 104 ........ 30 Leicester to Birmingham • ... 49 The construction of the Birmingham extension in conjunction with the Leicester and Tamworth Railway gives this project an evident advantage in point of expense over any independent line from Lei cester to Birmingham ; and, taking the inequalities of the country into consideration, a more direct line does not appear desirable or practicable, and the saving which which will be effected of more than half the expense which must attach to the construction of an inde pendent line from Leicester to Birmingham is a most important consideration. Application for Shares may be addressed to the Secretary at the Company's offices, 4, Coleman-street, London ; to the solicitors ; to Messrs. Aston and Scott, Throgmortoh-street, and to Messrs.

This short but very important Lino of Railway will commence at the nearest point on the Trent Valley Railway to the City of Lich field, and proceed through a rich and populous country, by Shenetone, Sutton Coldfield, and Erdington, to the town of Birmingham. The length of the Line will be only about sixteen miles, and a glance at the map will suffice to show the very numerous advan tages which this Railway offers. The projected " South Union Rail way," from Manchester, joins or falls into the Trent Valley Railway just below Lichfield, and, proceeding along the Trent Valley Line, via Tamworth and Rugby, will form the shortest and most direct route from Manchester to London, but will leave Birmingham on the west, which can only be reached by the circuitous route through Tamworth, a distance of twenty-five miles. The proposed Birmingham and Lichfield Railway will effect an ex tension of the South Union, North Staffordshire, and other projected Railways, from Lichfield in a direct Line to Birmingham, and thus save no less than nine miles in the twenty-five, and constitute the shortest and best line between Manchester and Birmingham yet de vised. As to the returns to be expected for the capital embarked, it is sufficient to mention, that in addition to the very large income aris ing from the local passenger and goods traffic (the latter of which is very great, as most of the agricultural supplies of Birmingham, the emporium of the Midland Counties, and its densely populated neigh bourhood, are derived from the vicinities of, and must pass along this Line), every passenger direct from Manchester to Birmingham must necessarily proceed along the projected Railway, should either of the lines from Manchester to Lichfield be made. This line will also form the nearest route from Derby and the North to Birmingham. The Capital proposed to be raised is 300,000/., in 15,000 Shares of 201. each. A deposit of 21. ,2s. per Share will be requited to be paid upon the allotment, to the credit of the Directors with the Bankers of the Company. No call will be made until the Act of Parliament shall be obtained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow Interest at 41. per cent. per annum, upon the amount of each call, from the date of payment until the opening of the line, and Subscribers will not be answerable beyond the amount of their Shares. The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract, which shall contain a clause empowering the Directors to amalgamate with any other Railway now formed, or to be formed, to extend or make Branch Lines, or transfer, mortgage, or dispose of the present un dertaking for the benefit of the Company, as they may deem proper, will be ready on the day fixed for the payment of deposit, and will be required to be executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for certificates of Scrip ; and the shares of any Subscribers making default in the execution of those deeds within the time limited, of which fourteen days' notice will be given, will be absolutely forfeited.. No application for shares can be attended to, unless accompanied by a reference to a member of the Provisional Committee, one of the Solicitors, Agents, or a Banker.

The object of this line of Railway is to complete the chain of coast communication, and form a connexion with lines already_ established or projected with reasonable hopes of success. It will commence at or near the city of Limerick, and taking a nor therly direction, proceed through the counties ofClare, Galway, Mayo, and Sligo, terminating at Sligo, by a junction with the Sligo and Ennis killen Railway, and accommodating on its route the important cities and towns of Limerick, Ennis, Gort, Loughrea, Athenry, Monivea, Tuam, Ballinrobe, Castlebar, Westport, Foxford, Ballina, Kilalla, Swineford, Streamstown, and Sligo, which town being connected with the north, east, and south, by the different lines through Enniskillen, London derry, Coleraine, Belfast, Armagh, Newry, Dundalk, Drogheda, Dublin, Wicklow, Wexford, Waterford, Cork, Killarney, Valentia, Tralee, and Limerick, the establishment of this line will cause Ire land to present a completeness of locomotive communication which no other country in the world enjoys. The country through which the proposed line travels is most fertile in mineral and agricultural products; it embraces many extensive coal fields, whose advantages it will extend to all parts of Connaught and Ulster; and intersecting, as it does, so many metropolitan lines of railway, it will develope those advantages in an equal degree to the province of Leinster. The lead, iron, marble, and slate works on its route, will be rendered available to the most distant parts of the island, and perhaps not the least advantage, in a national point of view, will be the establishment of an intercourse between the population of the extreme north and that of the extreme south, as well as placing the trade of, and communication with, Scotland, within the easy reach of all towns of any importance in Ireland. Added to this the cer tainty that on the completion of the projected southern, eastern, and western lines, the noble natural harbours on the Atlantic shore of Ireland will become the British depots of American traffic, and most probably the established packet stations for postal communication between the two countries, it is impossible to over-rate the value of this truly national projection. The counties which this railway traverses abundantly supply the English markets with cattle, pigs, Re. This line, communicating with so many ports, will afford the greatest facilities for the shipping of this portion of trade, some idea of the extent of which may be formed from the fact of upwards of five hundred fairs being held annually in its immediate vicinity, among them, the fair of Ballinasloe, ac knowledged the greatest for sheep and cattle in the British islands. It has been ascertained that the country presents great engineering facilities for the construction of a railway, and in communications which have been received from the landowners along the line, the greatest anxiety is manifested for its completion. The subscribers will be held liable only to the extent of their first deposits until an Act of Parliament is obtained, and afterwards only to the amount of their subscriptions. Power will be applied for in the Act—and in the meaenectsimsaeryls; hereby given to the Committee—to increase the capittilr,alLii to alter or abandon any part of the line, to makeb onipa i i i ii ir ; s a , n o d r enter into arrangements with any oth er company or c also to nominate the first directors of the companY• The Parliamentary contract a nd subscribers' Agreement will be ready for signature on payme nt of therd,eupwo,sil;,s. s main It will be seen in the pla n that the nd receive lntersect m t frohemmany a con lines, and will thus contribute and m erchandise traffic. te, s id era bl e amount in been made , a return of at least 10 p a ssenger P ro m the estimates th at have I p er cent. must be rea lised on the capit a .

The geographical position of Worcester has caused its adoption as the point where the broad guage trunk lines of the west are to have a :tommon terminus. From Oxford the Great Western Company have lecided on constructing a line of rail :—another project under the pa tronage of the same powerful direction is now before the public, uniting Worcester with Warwick ; and, that the broad gauge will be carried from Worcester into Wales, and to the Irish packet stations on that coast, is now no longer doubtful. This undertaking will com plete a series of great avenues of iron-road, whose ramification from Worcester will render every part of the kingdom directly accessible from that city. Passing up the Severn Vale, where it will disclose a succession of picturesque scenes, it reaches Stourport, and proceeding thence through Kidderminster, arrives at Bewdley. This district is one of the chief seats of our carpet manu factures, and in the towns here named, exclusive of the intervening districts, upwards of 30,000 persons are located. Leaving Stourbridge a little to the east, the line is taken to Bridgenorth, a town enjoying an active inland trade, and possessing 'woollen manufactures and iron works, that give employment to a population of about 15,000. Pass ing through or near to Much Wenlock, Broseley, and Madeicy, from which place there will be a branch to Shrewsbury, the line ascends Colebrook Dale, and approaching in its course Wellington and Wem, enters Whitchurch. From this central place a branch will be formed to Norwich via Stoke, forming a junction with the Liverpool and Crewe Railway. The trunk line will continue from Whitchurch, and passing through or near Malpas, have its northern terminus in the city of Chester. In estimating the probable ammnt of revenue which the Worces ter and Chester Railway may be expected to yield, many sources of profit present themselves, such are the dense population located along the length of the Severn Vale, and the enriching works of industry in which they are engaged. Amongst the latter may be mentioned the China manufactories of Worcester, the iron, coal, and earthen ware works at Broseley and other places; the agricultural produce brought to Stourport market ; the inexhaustible fields of coal and mines of iron ore in the vicinity of Colebrook Dale, Ironbridge, and the districts to the east of Shrewsbury generally. In calculating the cost of construction unusual advantages are also obvious. The line traverses a district affording levels of several miles in extent, and with a surface peculiarly favourable. The resi dent population, disappointed by the postponement of promised pro jects, have warmly espoused the present, and the labouring popula tion being familiar with. mining operations, will be found better qualified for the execution of railway works here than in many other localities. As a link in the railway network of England, or as auxiliary w to existing or projected lines passing In various directions, schemes hitherto proposed appear to afford greatefriidt), cement for investment, or a wider range of accommodatiorto torn t k h chain tra ffic and travelling.
