BULKELEY,: Secretary. Offices, London Terminus, Aug. 12, 1845. IRMINGHAM, WOLVERHAMPTON, and _ll-0 STOUR VALLEY RAILWAY. The course whichitis proposed that this line of railway shall take is along or near the banks of the Birmingham Canal to Wolver hampton, with a branch to Dudley. It is rther proposed to carry a line from the above-mentioned line, near Smethwick, by way of Halesowen, Cradley, Stourbridge, Itn.l Kidderminster, down the whole length of the Valley of the Stour, to its junction with the Severn. ..These lines of railway will afford to the vast population, and varied produce and manufactures of the districts thronah which they will pass, the cheapest and shortest communication with the ports of London, Hull, and Liverpool, as well as with the lafge and important districts occupied by the Midland Railways and the North of England. The line from Birmingham to Wolverhampton will form a portion of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway, with the existing Com pany for the formation of which satisfactory arrangements have been made. The object of the parties proposing this scheme of railways is to present to the most important manufacturing interest of Smith Staf fordshire and Worcestershire the greatest facility for the conveyance of their goods to and along the various trunk railways of the king dom at the least possible cost, and no effort will be spared to secure so desirable a result. The B!rrrfngham Canal Company and the London and Birmingham and Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway Companies have con curred to furnish the means of effecting this undertaking and the Stourbridge, Dudley, and Birmingham Railway Company, with their strong local influence, have united their interests to those of this Company. Apprcation will be made to Parliament in the next session for an Act to effect the above purposes. Information may be obtained by applying at the office of the Canal Company in Birmingham, or to Messrs. INOLEBY, WRAGGE, and COPE, Solicitors, and 7 t ßirmingham.

Power will be taken by the Act to allow Four per Cent. interest on the Calls. The services of the Provisional Committee are gratuitous, and their flinctions will cease so soon as Di.ectors shall have been appointed under the Act incorporating the Company. The Management of the Company will be conducted in London. A preference will be given to Shareholders in the following Rail way Companies i—" The Chester and Holyhead," " The Londonderry and Enniskillen," " The Londonderry and Coleraine," " The Wewry and Enniskillen," and "The Dublin and Mullingar." The proposed railway, which is intended to afford a direct and un interrupted comunication between Dublin and Enniskillen, by the way of and embracing the important towns of Trim, Navan, Kells, Cavan, and Belturhet, was recommended by the Railway Commis sioners, in rhe year 1838, as the great arterial line for the North- Western Districts of Ireland. A company having been formed during the last year (called " The Great North Western Railway Company,") for the purpose of bring ing the merits of the line before the public, the necessary surveys, plans, and sections were made, and afterwards deposited, in order to apply for a Bill during the present session of Parliament ; but the Board of Trade having reported in favour of the Kells branch of the Belfast Junction Line, which to a certain extent, was a competing project, the Provisional Directors abandoned the intention of apply ing for a Bill this session, and preferred to bring the merits of the line before the Select Committee, to whom the rival schemes were referred as competing projects. After a searching investigation, which lasted for several days, and the examination of Lord Farnham, General Sir John Burgoyne, Chairman of the Board of Public Works in Ireland, and several other witnesses, from whose evidence the merits of the proposed line, in an engineering and remunerative point of view, were fully substantiated, the select Committee rejected that portion of the competing line comprised in the branch to Kells, on the ground that it might inter fere with the more important inland line then under consideration, w) ich is the line projected by this Company. The course of proceedieg adopted by the Committees of the House of Commons, upon Railway Bills, has given to this Company an ad vantage which has not hitherto been afforded to the public: for the promoters, notwithstanding they did not present any Bill to the House, were heard as projectors of a line of Railway—the snaking of which might influence the Committee in their judgment upon the Bill re ferred to them. This arrangement gave the promoters !the oppor tunity of establishing their case upon evidence ; and the statement now made must be regarded as the result of testimony, and not of mere conjecture. The Provisional Directors established, to the satisfaction of the Committee, the snperiority of this Line over the proposed Branch to Kells, and also the absence of engineering difficulties, as well as the existence of a very extensive traffic ; and they have arranged to pro ceed to Parliament in the ensuing session. They confidently expect that arrangements will he entered into with the Directors of The Bublin and Mullingar, The Londonderry and Coleraine, Londonderry and Enniskillen, and Newry and Ellis killen Railway Companies, whereby these lines will become im portant feeders to the proposed railway, while the traffic of Bally shannon, Lough Erne, and all the North Western Districts, will he brought into rapid and direct communication with Dublin, by reason of the town of Belturbet having been selected as a central point for the concentration of railway and steam-boat traffic. The landed pro prietors along the line are unanimously in favour of the scheme, and county meetings, presidod over by the High Sheriffs, have been held in Cav es and Meath, at which resolutions of approval were adopted. Without going into the detail of the evidence given before the Select Committee of the House of Commons, to whom the Great North Western Project and Belfast Junction Bill were referred, it is considered advisable shortly to state some of the facts which were established by evidence; and after making allowance for the altered circumstances under which thezchemel is now placed before the public, they ~ lay be considered as correct data, whereby the merits of the proposed railway may be estimated. It was proved by Lord Farnham. Sir J. Burgoyne, and others, that the making of the railv. - ay is an object of primary importance, and nearly identical with that recommended by the Railway Corpmissioners in 1538, as one of the great arterial lines best calculated to afford general accommodation, and to develop the resources of the country. That it would afford a much shorter and more direct communication between the north-west of Ireland and Dublin than any railway in progess, or in contemplation, aryl was of so much importance, that, even supposing the Kells branch of the Dublin and Belfast Junction line had been authorised by the Legislature, the direct line to Enniskillen would have been, nevertheless, constructed. . It was also proved that the cattle markets, held twice weekly in Dublin, were greatly frequented by the large graziers and farmers of the county of Meath, who, in the absence of sufficiently remunerative prices in that market, were in the habit of exporting their cattle to Liverpool,'an advantage which they could not obtain from any other port in Ireland. That the passenger traffic between Enniskillen and Dublin is greater than between Enniskillen and Belfast, Newry, and Dun dalk together; and that throughout Ireland passenger traffic has converged towards Dublin, affording as it does the shortest and most fr e quent communication with England ; this traffic must be im mensely increased, when the Chester and Holyhead and Londonderry , and Enniskillen Railways are constructed, as this line will then be come the great medium of commnnication between the counties north and north-west of Dublin, and the metropolis of England. There are upwards of 300 fairs held annually in th e i mme di a te v icinity of the line of railway ; about thirty corn and flour-mills, producing annually more than 35,000 tons of flour and meal. The inhabitants of the country are mostly of altrior class, and likely to avail themselves of the advantages of ra communica tion : from these sources an ample revenue msy be anticipated. The public conveyances are very numerous, affording evidence of an existing passenger traffic not exceeded in the whole of Ireland. There are no le , s than sixteen mail and stage coaches, proceeding, each, upon an average, forty-six miles along the line of railway be tween Dublin and Cavan. The traffic ibetween Cavan and Ennis killen, at the present time (also very considerable), will very greatly increase by the direct means of communication which this line will afford to the passengers, by the Londonderry and Enniskillen Railway proceeding to Dublin and the South. The public and private cars, by which it is well known so gr eat a portion of the passenger traffic is carried on through Ireland, have not been taken into consideration. The Turnpike Trust Returns show, that between Dublin and 'Sayan, a distance of thirty miles, 63,439 horned cattle, and 65,105 sheep and pigs annually travel along the public roads. From the data already in the hands o f the Provisional Committee, taken from the estimate of the Railway Commission in 1838, and ob tained during 'the past year from careful observation of the actual traffic now existing on the lines of road, it may fairly be assumed, that an income of eight or nine per cent. will be derived from the railway, after making a liberal allowance for working expenses. With respect to the engineering, the line presents no difficulty whatever, wilh the exception of about five miles beyond Cavan, the country is uniformly level There will be but one tunnel, of less than 300 yards in length. The gradients are very easy, and the earthwork light.

This railway is proposed to commence at Cambridge, to proceed in a direct line to Northampton, and take its course, by. Fenny Compton, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Alcester, to Worcester. By its junction with the Northern and Eastern Railway at Cam bridge, the London and York Railway near St. Neots, the Leicester end Bedford or South Midland and London and Birmingham Railways, near Northampton, the Oxford and Rugby and the proposed Oxford and Birmingham, or Warwickshire and London Railways, at Fenny Compton, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway at Stratford-upon- Avon, the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton near Wor cester, and the proposed lines into Wales from that city; this rail way will connect Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, and the impor tant towns of Yarmouth, Harwich, Norwich, Ipswich, Bury St. Ed mund's, Lynn, and Cambridge, with the towns and counties of Bed ford, Northampton, Rugby, Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, Banbury, Oxford, Southampton, Coventry, Leamington, Warwick, Birming ham, Worcester, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Tewkesbury, Kiddermin ster, Wolverhampton, Liverpool, Manchester, Bristol, Hereford, Somerset, South Wales, and the South of Ireland. In short this railway will• complete the chain of communication from the east to all parts of England. It will also be the most direct route from London to .Warwick, Leamington, Worcester, Hereford, Kiddermin ster, Stout - bridge, Bromsgrove, Droitwich, and Wales. Connecting a very populous district entirely destitute of railway accommodation ; opening, too, a direct communication between extensive manufactur ing, mineraland agricultural districts, and the best and largest coal fields in the kingdom, thereby considerably reducing the present high price of coals, particularly in the eastern counties. This line must not only be of great public and local advantage, but also insure traffic and passengers, and goods amply remunerative as an investment. The survey made proves the line to be easy of construction, and free from engineering difficulties. The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest , at 4/. per cent. per annum on the deposits, as well as on all future calls, from the date of the passing of the Act till the opening of the railway. - Applications for prospectuses and shares may be made to the Soli citors,' or to the following Sharebrokers, viz. :—Messrs.

The Provisional Directors of the Essex an Suffolk Railway have the pleasure of communicating to the Shareholders that the Parlia mentary Committee have rejected the Preambles of all the Bills which could be considered as coming into competition with the Essex and Suffolk project, and have given an opinion strongly favourable to the views of this Company. The Provisional Directors wishing to avoid the annoyances, delays, and expenses of a vexatious Parliamentary contest, and hoping that the common interests of the localities through which this projected railway would pass, might be conciliated and advanced by a friendly understanding with the Provisional Committee of the Bury and Chelmsford Railway, were most desirous of bringing about an amal gamation with the promoters of that line, and eagerly availed them selves of the opportunity that was afforded them of amicable discus sion, for the purpose of uniting the objects of the two Companies on Mutually satisfactory terms. Five Members of the Provisional Direction of the Essex and Suf folk Company, namely :—Dr. Bowring, M.P., Messrs. Allen, Fitz william, Sykes, and Tatham were nominated on behalf of this Com pany. Mr. Halifax (Chairman), Sir Hyde Parker, Bart., and Mr. Courtold, were appointed by the Bury and Chelmsford Committee, to confer with the Essex and Suffolk Deputation on the question of amalgamation. They met the Deputation from the Essex and Suffolk, and the principle and general basis of snch amalgamation were agreed on. The respective Deputations referred the matter back to their several Committees, and both Committees concurred in sanctioning the general understanding. The Chelmsford and Bury Committee then added Sir John Tyrrel, Bart., and Mr. Greenwood to the former Deputation, and the five were appointed to settle the de tails necessary to give effect to the general arrangement. Resolu tions were passed unanimously, as regarded the Deputation from the Essex and Suffolk Company, and by a majority of the Deputation from the Bury and Chelmsford; making, in the united Committee, a majority of eight to two in favour of the amalgamation, and of the resolutions dependent thereon. In the progress of these discussions, and greatly to the surprise of the Essex and Suffolk Deputation, a resolution was communicated to them (not signed by the Chairman of the Bury and Chelmsford Com pany), stating that the Deputation appointed to conduct the ne gotiation with the Essex and Suffolk Deputation, were "discharged," and 12 resolutions, many of which were wholly incompatible with the arrangements agreed upon, were sent by " the Previsional. Com mittee of the Chelmsford and Bury Railway," to the Provisional Directors of the Essex and Suffolk. On these resolutions the Essex and Suffolk Directors desire to make no further observation than this, that as men of honour, the Chairman of the Bury and Chelmsford (Mr. Halifax), Sir John Tyrell, Bart., M.P., and Sir Hyde Parker, Bart., and several others, felt it their duty to withdraw, and they have withdrawn themselves, from the Bary and Chelmsford direction. These gentlemen continue in friendly co-operation with the:Essex and Suffolk direction, while, in addition to the loss of their valuable services, the Bury and Chelmsford Committee are deprived of their distinguished engineer, Mr. Robert Stephenson, and it is understood Messrs. White and Borrett have retired from the joint solicitorship of that line. To the equitable and honourable spirit in which the negotiations were conducted by the retiring majority of the Chelmsford and Bury deputation, the Essex and Suffolk desire to bear unequivocal testi mony, while on the part of their own deputation, they wish to state, that with every disposition to meet the Bury and Chelmsford Direc tors in the most conciliatory spirit, there existed among themselves, a cordial unanimity of purpose, and they can only express their regret, that a small minority should have thwarted the friendly and judicious intentions of a large majority. The objects of the Essex and Suffolk Provisional Directors having been thus disappointed, by a repudiation of the acts of a majority of the Bury and Chelmsford deputation, a certain number of Shares re main to he disposed of, which it was intended to place in the hands of the united Committee. These Shares are now offered to the public, but a preference will be given to the original subscribers to the Essex and Suffolk line. Shareholders in the Norwich and Brandon and Eastern Counties are requested to mention the fact in their application. There can be no doubt that a railway providing for the important districts between Chelmsford and Thetford, will obtain the sanction of Parliament, in the coming session ; and the Provisional Directors cannot but anticipate the favourable decision of the Legislature. Negotiations are in progress with the Norwich and Brandon and Eastern Counties Railway Companies, and there is every reason to hope, that arrangements will be entered into, satisfactory to the Shareholders, and accommodating the populous localities through which this line is intended to pass. Careful surveys are making of the whole line, and the confidence of the Provisional Directors of the success of the undertaking is unabated. Applications for Shares may be made to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, 24, Moorgate-street ; or to the Solicitors and Local Agents; and to Messrs. Hichens and Harrison, 18, Threadneedle street, London ; J. Jameson, Leeds ; J. Greaves, Liverpool ; and Messrs. Cardwell and Sons, Manchester ;where detailed prospectuses and plans of the line may be obtained. By order, ROBERT MAFLETOFT, Secretary.

This undertakings originally called the Newark one Sheffield Rail way, was, with its extensions, projected "with a view of affording a direct outlet from the greatest corn and cattle' producing districts of England to the dense manufacturing population of Yorkshire and Lancashire ; and for the coals, lime, building-stone, &c. &c., of the Chesterfield, Dronfleld, Mansfield, and Pinxton coal-fields ; of which valuable minerals the whole eastern district is entirely destitute." The Boston, Newark, end Sheffield Railway, carrying out fully these most important objects, commences at the seaport of Boston, passes by Sleaford, touching there the head of the Sleaford Canal, over the river Trent at P' News , near and through the centre of the rich agricultural county of Lincoln, to Hongham Mill, where it crosses and connects itself with the London j aa un ei c ag tion with the Nottingham and Lincoln line, and York Railway, by which it Wits a direct route to Newark and direct communication with Nottingham and way of Bolsover, direct to the terminus at Shef- Gbyrawn Newark,ht h i e h a mi,t it formst . h o e p n e c thence sa p a Derby ; it then proceeds through the towns of Sonthvrell, Farnsfield, Railway.

No direct canal or other conveyance, beyond the ordinary that wi r n all h Wa m y e atoo .3—.n m turnpike roads, provides transit for the commodities of the district. The bulk of the cattle, and the agricultural produce of Lincolnshire, and the large quantities of flour and malt, made at and near the towns of Newark, Mansfield, &c., find their way at present to the markets in the west, chiefly by circuitous water conveyance, and the cost and delay attending their transmission are enormous. The extensive cotton manufactories of Mansfield. Pleasley, etc., also suffer from the same evils, In these respects the saving will be very great to all, by the propos ed railway communication. The farmer, the miller, and the maltster, by the removal of all uncertainty in the transit of their goods, can a t at any time avail themselves promptly of the most favourable markets. In the conveyance of cattle, the benefits of a railway are shared by both dealers and consumers. To the town of Newark the saving in the price of coals will be 40 per cent., and the flour and malt sent thence to Lancashire, Sec., will be conveyed to market in a few hours, in stead of seven or tea days as at present, and at less than half the cost. A friendly company has undertaken to make a railway from Mansfield to Nottingham, with a branch to Clay Cross, and the avidity with which the shares in that project have been taken up, chiefly by parties resident in the locality, proves the great probable utility of the line, which proposes to run into a common station at Mansfield. A glance at the map will show the following important advantages from these proposed combinations: - Ist. A direct communication, shorter than any other existing or projected, between Boston, the great agricultural parts of Lin colnshire and Nottinghamshire, and the populous manufacturing towns of the west--Sheffield, Manchester, Huddersfield, &0., &c., and also between these places and the to w n of Nottingham. 2d.

It is proposed, in th e first instance, to make a railwa y from Callao, Lima, the capital of Peru, the great m ar t o f trade, the chief port, to and general resort of the whole Peruvian nation ; and afterwards to lay such tines on the coa st of the Pacific as may be app rove d of by the Shareholders at a general meeting. The distan , 2e from Callao to Lima is about seven English miles. There is open ground all the way suited to receive the rails, the gra. dient uniform, and no curves, with an abundant supply of water power. It is estimated that the cost of this line will not exceed 50,000/. ; and, when it is considered that it will command the whole traffic of passengers, and the conveyance of goods between the chief port and the capital of Peru, it may fairly be assumed that the un dertaking will be one of unusual profit. Should the operations of the Company be confined to the line be tween Callao and Lima, no further portion of the capital will be called for than may be sufficient to construct that line ; and if the objects of the Company be not carried out, the whole of the deposit-money will be returned.

The nearest point of the coal field to Lincolnshire being thus opened, besides the great boon of supplying that county and the neighbouring districts with coals at a greatly reduced price a large export trade from the great shipping port of Boston may be reason ably expected ; and in these respects no railway existing or projected holds out the prospects of similar advantages 4th. While no other line approaches the coal field at so near a point to the eastward, and at the same time passes direct through the centre of an agricultural county so rich and unoccupied, it also opens quarries of the most valuable building stone, lime, &c.—Mans field and Bolsover Moor —and thus brings into direct communication those valuable minerals of which the whole district east and south east of Newark is destitute. Surveys of the whole line twain a most forward state, and will be shown to any party interested, and wishing for information. A Map of the line will be published shortly. The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance and co-operation of those companies with whose lines of railway they communicate, and as the Boston, Newark and Sheffield line must prove a valuable feeder to them all, they hope that this appeal will not be deemed altogether unworthy of attention. Holders of Newark and Sheffield and Extension Shares, will be entitled to an equal number of shares in the new Company, ill ex change for their scrip certificates or bankers' receipts, which mast be sent immediately to the secretary, at Mansfield, accompanied by a form of application, which will be supplied by post to those who have not already received it. They, as well as landowners ang others locally interested on the line, will receive a preference in the allotment or tne aamtionat shares. Parties who do not apply for an exchange of shares, before the first day of September next, will forfeit their right to them, and be held as having withdrawn from the undertaking.

The Shares, and all payments made thereon, will be forfeited, without notice, should the holder thereof not sign the subscribers' agreement and parliamentary contract as soon as required.

Rose and Messrs. Tindal, Aylesbury Messrs.

The main line will commence from the London and Birmingham Railway, near Harrow, and passimg to the ssorth of Uxbridge, will proceed up the Valley by Chalfont, near Amersham and Chesham to Missenden and Wendover, and thence to Aylesbury ; from which place it will extend to Buckingham, and passing near Winslow, and approaching Brackley, will terminate by a Junction with the proposed Warwickshire and London Railway, near Banbury. In addition to the line above described, it is intended also to con struct a Railway from the central station of the London and Bir mingham Railway at Wolverton to Buckingham, and thence through Bicester to Oxford; and in connexion with the line here proposed, the Bedford, and London and Birmingham Company, intend to make a connecting line between Bedford and Wolverton. The proposed Ituckingham and London and Birmingham Railway Company (for the construction of a line from Wolverton to Bicester) Is amalgamated with this Company. • Accurate surveys of the country have been taken by Mr. Robert Stephenson, and it has been ascertained that no engineering difibulty of importance presents itself. The undertaking has already received the sanction and support of a very large proportion of the Nobility, Gentry, and Proprietors of land through or near whose property it is intended to pass. It is proposed that these lines should be made with the co-operation, and under the direction and superintendence of the London and Birmingham Railway Company; under a lease, in perpetuity, at four per cent. per annum on the outlay, with a conditional arrange ment as to the surplus profits. It is intended to offer the shares in such proportion as the amount of capital will allow of, to the holders of shares in the London, Worcester and South Staffordshire Railway Company, subject to the approbation of the Committee of Management, with the exception of such as may be required for parties having local interests. PROVISIONALLY REGISTERED. The Line will commence at the Terminus of the Manchester and Birmingham Railway at Macclesfield, and passing by the Rudyard Reservoir to Leek, will proceed by the Churnet Valley to Conseil, thence close to Cheadle and Tean, and by Uttoxeter, Bagots Woods and Abbots Bromley down the Blythe, to a point on the Trent Valley Railway north of Lichfield, communicating near there with one of the proposed lines from Dudley er Wolverhamptoz. A glance at the map will show that this will be the most direct line for the London and Manchester traffic, uniting these two great termini by the shortest practicable route in connexion with existing railways, will completely accommodate the local traffic, and throw open several extensive Coal fields and some thousand acres of Wood land to Manchester, the Potteries, and other great marts of the kingdom. This Line is also in some of its principal features the same as that already approved of by the Board of Trade, and partially abandoned by the Churnet Valley Company—will not comprise more than fifty miles of Railway, and passing through the centre of the unoccupied part of the district, does not interfere with tke Grand Junction or any other existing Railway. This and the proposed Line from Crewe to Derby will also well accommodate the Potteries, giving t 3 that important locality a direct route to London, Birmingham, and the South, to Liverpool and the North, and to Derby and the East, and will also afford a transit for the Eastern counties traffic from Derby to Manchester. The co-operation of almost all the principal landowners from near Uttoxeter to near Lichfield having been ob tained, this portion of the line may be considered as secure. A most influential Provisional Committee, consisting of land• owners and manufacturers, and others locally interested, will shortly be published. In the meantime references may be made to Matthew Gaunt, Esq., Highfield House, Leek; or to Thomas Tumor, Esq., Aliuots Bromley, near Uttoxeter. dll - IEi.MSFORD and BURY RAILWAY, by Braintree, Bocking, Halstead, Sudbury, Melford, and Laven ham.

SECRETARY —David Bartie, Esq. Since the formation of the Company for making this railway, and the allotment of the Shares for that part of the line between Chelnis ford and Bury, the practicability, paramount importance, aad supe rior advantages of its plan have been so unequivocally recognised by the Board of Trade, and by the Committee of the House of Commons for the railways of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfelk. that the Provisional Committee have determined to now, at once, adopt the extension of their line, originally projected, from Bury to join the Norwich and Brandon line at Thetford ; thereby to complete the shortest and best communication between London and Norwich, in the direction of the old road, through all the chief central towns of Essex and Suffolk, and at the same time to open a very direct communication with the great trunk lines of the north and w.,st. - For these important objects, to to secured by an extension of only 12 miles, to connect Bury St. Edmund's and Thetford, the Provisional Committee propose to Increase the capital 250,000;., by the issue of 10,000 additional shares; and, for full particulars of the entire plan, refer to their original prospectus. The Chelmsford and Bury line not having been projected in time to bring it before Parliament in the present session in a substantive form, it has been but imperfectly, and merely incidentally, in opposing other lines, that its merits could be at all brought under the notice of the Board of Trade or of the Committee of the House ; but the strong impression made, notwithstanding, in its favour, Is obviously appa rent, both in the reports of the one and in the decisions of the other. The Board of Trade, in stating the considerations upon which it ad vised the rejection of the Norwich Direct line, reported (March 4th, 1843) that " It is necessary to advert to a railway called theCliehns ford and Bury Railway, projected, but not brought before Parliament, the plan, and section, and traffic tables of which have been submitted to the Board of Trade. This railway appears to us to accommodate a more populous district than that intended to be traversed by the London and Norwich Direct Railway. Its section shows that it may be done at a moderate cost ;" (while) " there is a strong local feeling in its law ur, evinced by the memorials which have been re ceived by the Board of Trade from the Inhabitants of Braint,w, Halstead, Sudbury, and other places between Chelmsford and Bury." The Committee of the House of Commons have since not only rejected the Norwich Direct and Bury and Cambridge lines, but the Chairman (Lord Sandon), previous to giving a decision against the Norwich Direct, took occasion to observe that "the Committee was decidedly in favour of the Chelmsford and Bury scheme." To these public testimonials in favour of the Chelmsford and Bury line, the Provisional Committee have the satisfaction of aiding, that by r special arrangement with the solicitor of the Eastern Counties Railway, they are assured of the concurrence and good offices of that important Company in the formation of their line. In allotting their original Shares, the Provisional Committee ne cessarily rejected numerous applicatioxs, of which it may be pre sumed that a considerable number were from parties as highly re spectable as any of those to whom Shares could then be given ; and in the distribution of the additional Shares a reasonable preference will be given to original applicants, as well as to original Share holders. _ _ _ _ Applications for Shares, in the annexed form, may be made to the Secretary, at the Company's Offices, 61, Moorgate-street, Lon don ; to the :..olicitors, or any of the Local Agents ; or to the fol lowing brokers :—Messrs.
