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 situation 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 importsf rom 200,0001. 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. Tho 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 Fahuouth must be reached by railway. The object of this prospectus is to show that no other line than the present can ultimatelyliatisfy the exigencies of the country in regard to this, its most important out Port—" the natural Packet Station of Messrs. Messrs. Messrs. 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 Laud'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 Coinpany. 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), W e stbury, 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 railways between these points, and without a tunnel. From Taunton the Bristol and Exeter Railway (now leased to the Great Western) is traversed to Tiverton, whence it is proposed to carry this line direct to the Land's End, Falmouth, St. Ives, and Benzance, being shorter by about sixty miles than the lately proposed line by way of Plymouth, and effecting, in the whole tistance from London to Falmouth, a saving of about ninety miles. With refT.eot to the traffic on the upper portion of the line it is eedless to say more than that there is already thorough traffic suffi cient to justify the eoustruction of this portion of the Direct Wes tern : that it will shorten the distance from London to Tiverton about 32 miles that it will traverse rich and populous agricultural and manufaciuring receive a large amount of tratilc 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 w ill s h ow 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 quote 'here 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 Birmingham and Grand I .l z n a i a o y n s h h a e t t is h i r s be e pm a t r se reported to t o t he iia G ve rea sa t i l d V : es_t , e , rn and I andßristolconsider rthata h at nEs the e o e Exeter 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- Nva rdzess, 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 landowners, 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 on the deposits, and preference 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 connected with the Direct Western district.

John Bethell, Esq., King William-street, London. Messrs. Joseph and William Heron, and Messrs. Higsoa and Robins, Manchester That another and a more direct line of railway is necessary between the metropolis and the manufacturing districts around Manchester, is now fully admitted, and the question is, which is the best line to be adopted ? The above proposed railway will form the shortest and most di rect route from London to Manchester, and will therefore complete the direct communication with the metropolis at a much less expen - diture of capital than by either of the projected London and Man chester lines (Remington's and Ashurst's), the actual distance to be constructed being only 73, instead of 170 to 180 miles. A careful preliminary survey has determined the promoters of this railway to adopt nearly a straight line from Rugby to Macclesfield, as an increased expenditure of 200,0001. or 300,000/. judiciously applied In the presentperfected state of civil engineering, and at the reduced cost of the execution of earth works, will prove in the end a far greater real economy, both to the Company itself in the saving effected in the annual expense of working, and also, what is of snore importance, to the country in general, by accomplishing, at a much less cost, the same end proposed by an entire and distinct line from Loudon to Manchester. These considerations have not been sufficiently kept in view by other parties who have also proposed to make a railway from Rugby 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 Parliamentary decision on the choice of the London and Brighton Railway is a parallel case, the direct line, although presenting more difficulties to overcome, and involving a greater outlay, having been adopted by Parliament in preference to the many competing projects, in a more or less sinuous direction, which were at that time supported in the House Dy very influential parties. Should it be 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 affording the shortest and most direct route from Manchester to Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth, a feature presented by no other proposed railway. By adopting the Rugby and Oxford branch of the Great Western 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 route, and on this account the project has been warmly supported by the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth Railway Company. The deviations from a perfectly straight line between 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 tke North London Junction Railway Company, whereby it has secured the use of their station (of the extent of six acres) in the centre of the City of London, at the bottom of Moorgate-street, which will prove of the utmost importance to this line. Amidst the many railway projects that now occupy the public mind, and involve a vast outlay of capital, it will readily be conceded 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 investment for capital. _ . . - The shareholders in the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Ports month, in the London and Birmingham, and in the Manchester and Birmingham Railways, will have a preference in the allotment of the shareg. -- - -- - - '- - -- The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share holders beyond the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament is obtained, and power will bo taken in the Act to allow 4/. per cent. interest in all calls.

This facility of intercommunication is imperatively demanded to connect the populous towns of Frankford, Kennitty, Clonaslee, Parsonstown, Banagher, Eyrecourt, Cloghan, Ferbane. Shinrone, Portumna, and Borriskane, with the City of Dublin on the east, and the port of Galway on the west, which object will be effected by the construction of a direct Railway, not exceeding thirty-five miles in length, passing through a country free from engineering difficulties, and avoiding competition with other lines. The large amount of traffic at present existing between Dublin and the towns in immediate connection with the proposed line, with the great increase which must flow as a necessary consequence of the completion of the work, ensuring a highly remunerative return on the capital required to be embarked. A detailed prospectus will be issued on Tuesday.

This line of Railway will commence at the junction of the Man liesr and Bha, Chster an Crewe, and Grand Junction Railw te ays, at C r re m we, in m the e county d of Chester, and proceed from thence through or near the towns of Market Drayton, Newport, and Shiffnal, in Shropshire, thence through the flourishing town of Kid derminster, to Worcester and Tewkesbury, and to the Bristol Rail way at Gloucester. By this means it will form the most direct route from Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Hull, and Chester to the important ports of Gloucester and Bristol, indeed the most direct line from the north of England to the Bristol Channel. It will, also, in conjunction wtih the proposed Hereford and Worcester, and Swan sea, Merthyr-Tydvil, and Hereford Railways, form the most advan tageous route from Swansea and the iron districts of South Wales, to Liverpool, Manchester, and Hull. The line will cross the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway at Shiffnal, and the Shropshire Mineral Railway and the Trent Valley Union at the thriving town of Newport. It will form a junction with the two latter railways at Newport, whereby persons and lug gage may be conveyed to Stafford, Derby, the Midland Counties, Staffordshire Potteries, Sheffield, and Hull ; and, in addition to the carriage of heavy goods from Bristol, Gloucester, Worcester, and Kidderminster, to Manchester, Liverpool, the whole of the north of England, and Scotland—will secure a large passenger traffic in the district through which it passes. The proposed railway will be about 87 miles in length, and be tween the two termini of Crewe and Gloucester, will save in distance at least 20 miles, and the Journey can be accomplished, at the pre sent rapid rate of travelling, in about two hours. This project as a junction line, connects itself with some of the most important rail ways in the kingdom. It also skirts the large, extensive, and densely populated iron districts of Shropshire and Staffordshire, and in its course passes through a rich agricultural country. It must, there fore, be obvious that there will be a sufficient traffic to pay a high rate of interest on the capital required. There are no engineering difficulties in the country through which the line is intended to pass, the whole being nearly on a level, and on reference to the map of country, taken from the Ordnance survey, which accompanies the prospectus, the line will appear straight, and will at the same time show the superior advantages it possesses, and that it cannot be surpassed by any existing or projected lines, between the same termini. It will not interfere with any ornamental property, and no tunnel ling will be required. The liabilities of the Shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions, and interest will be allowed on the deposits and further calls, from the date of the several payments to the opening of the line. Prospectuses, with Maps and Forms of Application for Shares, can be had from the Secretary on application at the temporary offices of the Company, 3, Abchurch-lane, London ; from the Solicitors and Local Agents; also from the following Brokers, viz.:—Messrs.

Tliis is a most attractive, cheap, and readable edition of Chil lingworth's immortal book. It was published in a quarto volume, only a few months prior to the Revolution of 1688, at the earnest solicitation of Tillotson, Stillingfleet, Burnet, and other eminent writers, as one of the most effectual counteractions of Popish prin ciples which were then industriously propagated, and supported by the powerful influence of Court favour. It has long been a very scarce book, and in great request among literary collectors. London : ranted for Thomas Tegg, 73, Cheapside 11
