THIS Line of Railway will establish a direct and the nearest communication between Cheltenham and Lon don, and Cheltenham and Oxford, and by means of other Lines already carried out, or projected, will afford the nearest route, from both Cheltenham and Gloucester to Brighton, Folkatone, Dover, Southampton, Gosport, Portsmouth, and Cambridge. The West Coast of Ireland, the Midland Districts of England, and South Wales, will also, by this means, be in direct communication with the South and South-East Coasts of England. The Lire will commence at a point on the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway at Cheltenham, and passing close by Northleach, Bamptcn, and the important town of Abingdon, will form a Junction with the Great Western Railway at, or near, Didcot. The Branch to Oxford will diverge from the Main Line at, or near, Bampton. The Town of Cheltenham by this Line will obtain those advantages of direct Railway Communication with all parts of the Kingdom and the Continent, which its im portance demands. A reference to the Map alone will satisfy the Public of the great utility of this Line, of the immense saving of distance effected by it, and the profits which must result to the Shareholders from the vast passenger traffic which will pass over it, fed, as it will be, by sa many other im portant Railway communications. The Engineers have received instructions to make the necessary surveys with the view of continuing this Line from Didcot by Wallingford to Maidenhead. Application will be made in the ensuing Session of Par liament to enable the promoters to carry out the proposed undertaking. The liability of each Shareholder will be restricted by Act of Parliament to the Amount of Subscription, and power will be applied for in the Bill to allow int:rest at 4 per cent. per annum on all calls from the passing of the Act until the opening of the Line. Prospectuses, with Maps of the Lines, may be obtained on application to the Solicitors, or to the following Share brokers ; London, THOMAS Moxosr, Jun., Esq., 69, Old Broad-street ; and J. T.

The lars must also be borne in mind, viz : As REGARDS DISTANCES : First, that the same advan tage over the Sheffield and Lincolnshire (as stated in the last column) from Sheffield is conferred by the Manches ter, Midland, and Grimsby on all places west or north of Sheffield. Secondly, that the same advantage as stated from Man chester accrues to all places west, northwest, and south west of Wortley (a station on the Sheffield and Manches ter), including Thorncliffe, Penistone, Chapeltown, Holm firth, Huddersfield, Halifax. Bradford, Glossop, Ashtrm, Oldham, Todmorden, Liverpool, and the whole of the manufacturing districts of Lancashire. Third, that the same advantage as stated from Rother ham applies to Wakefield. Normanton, Leeds. York, and all other places on the Midland line north of Masbrough. It may also be added that the Manchester, Midland, and Grimsby Junction gives, by its junction at Doncaster with Goole and Doncaster, a direct communicution from Chesterfield and the south, and from Sheffield to Goole, while the Sheffield and Lincolnshire does not accommo date that very important traffic at all. As REGARDS NUMBER OF MILES: To make and ob tain an act, for it is quite clear, from the above table, that the Sheffield and Lincolnshire stands in a strikingly in ferior position. WITH REFERENCE TO VESTED INTERESTS—a right Parliament justly regards so much— First, Rotherham has long enjoyed the advantages of having one of the best cattle markets in England, there being frequently as many as 350 fat beasts and 7,000 to 9,000 fat sheep per week, in addition to which there is a very good corn market. On the other hand, Sheffield has not a market worth naming, and the effect of the Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway being made would be almost entirely to annihilate the Rotherham market.

Third, that the Manchester, Midland, and Grimsby use the miles of the Sheffield and Rotherham Railway (al ready several years in operation), whereas the Sheffield and Lincolnshire propose to make a most expensive series of heavy works across the town of Sheffield, and use no portion of any existing line. Fourth, the Sheffield and Lincolnshire runs parallel for some distance with the Chesterfield Canal, thereby, in the event of that act being obtained, involving the probability of total ruin to that undertaking, but which powerful Company have, to protect themselves, lately brought forward an adverse Line, running the same course as the Sheffield and Lincolnshire for half its entire distance, viz., the sixteen miles from Gainsbro' to Worksop. Fifth, some of the most influential landowners in the district through which it passes are vehemently opposed to the Sheffield and Lincolnshire, whereas the noblemen and gentlemen of the largest property on the Manchester, Midland, and Grimsby Line are warm supporters of it. Com.s are some shillings per ton cheaper at Rotheram than at Sheffield, which, together with the shorter carriage by the Manchester, Midland, and Grimsby, must make it very desireable to the inhabitants of the very important county of Lincoln that the Sheffield and Lincolnshire project should succumb to the superior merits of its rival. As REGARDS THE POPULAR FEELING: It is a noto rious fact that, even in Sheffield, the feeling of the inhabitants (and it has been expressed at public meetings on more than one occasion) is very decidedly against the Sheffield and Lincolnshire scheme. We may, therefore, consider that where " 'Tis best known 'tis least liked. ' THE BOARD OF TRADE have expressed themselves very ecidedly in favour of the Manchester, Midland, and Grimsby, as compared with the Sheffield and Lincoln shire. However a concealment of facts may be necessary to bolster up a weak cause, the discerning public cannot easily be induced to swallow the paragraph (advertised by authority) in the Sheffield papers a few days ago, which states, that " there is no residental ground of objection " to the Sheffield and Lincolnshire. For a pretty sufficiently damning reply to that assertion let the report of the oppo sition of George Savile Foljambe, Esq., and Hutchin son, Esq., before the Committee of the House of Com mons, be read. In conclusion, the public may rest assured that the Manchester, Midland, and Grimsby will go to Parliament with every prospect of success on its own very superior merits, and with that success rendered everything but a dead certainty in consequence of the very powerful sup port guaranteed, and friendly alliance entered into with the most highly influential party of the day. The public are wished to understand that this advertise ment is not issued for the purpose of inducing applica tions for Shares, as it would be'useless to apply, it being Midland, known that all the Shares in the Manchester, Midland, and Grimsby are allotted to highly respectable parties, except a very small number reserved for land owners on the line solely. This line will commence at the most favourable point on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, near to Huy ton, and will proceed through Prescot to St. Helen's, (at which latter place it will form a junction with the St. Helen's and Runcorn Gap Railway,) then passing as near as circumstances will allow to A,hton•in-Mackerfield, it will proceed to the North Union Railway, near to Batn forlong, at which point it will cross over the last-men tioned line, and continuing in a direct line through or near to Westhougbton, it will run into the Bolton and Preston Line as near as practicable to Bolton. From the point of communication with the North Union Railway at Batnfurlong, there will be made a branch through the ex tensive coal fields of Abram and Westleigh to join the Manchester and Wigan Direct Railway at a favourable point near to Atherton. And there will be made another branch from the Trunk line between Prescot and St. He len's, through Eccleston, to terminate at such peint as may be consudered desirable for the coal traffic from that district. _ _ To the towns of Prescot, St. Helen's, and Ashton-in- Mackerfield, the advantages to be derived from the pro posed line will IT incalculable, inasmuch as none of the above towns possess any adequate railway accommoda tion, which is vouched for by tip. fact of the Manufactu rers and other parties engaged in trade in those neigh bourhoods carting their goods to and from Liverpool; and by continuing the line beyond Ashton, there will be afforded to the towns referred to an easy access to Wigan, Belton, and Manchester, and the surrounding places. The most important feature in the proposed railway, more particularly considering the vast increase of traffic which must hereafter centralize at Bolton on the com pletion of the contemplated Liverpool and Leeds Direct railway, and of the railways now in formation to the north of Bolton, is that it will present the most direct communication between the last-mentioned town and Liverpool, and from the favourable nature of its gra dients, will possess unequalled capabilities for working purposes. This railway will also afford (more particularly to Bol ton and the districts beyond) an improved access to Warrington, Runcorn, Birk,- nhead, Chester, and Wales. In reference to the accomplishment in part of these ob jects it may be stated, that the directors of the St. Helen's and Runcorn Gap railway are now taking pre liminary steps for making that line more efficacious for an increased traffic. By the branch to Atherton, the increasing wants of that place and Tyldesley, to and from Liverpool, will be accommodated. _ _ THE Direct London and Liverpool Railway is also a Direct Liverpool and Birmingham Railway. It uses the London and Birmingham Railway the whole distance to Birmingham. From thence it proceeds to Wolverhampton, either on the Grand Junction, or on the Wolverhampton, Dudley, and Birmingham Railway. From Wolverhampton commences the new portion of Railway, consisting of 55 miles only, and passing through Newport and Whitchurch on to Chester. At Chester the Direct London and Liverpool Railway proceeds, on the Chester and Birkenhead Railway, to Birkenhead. It is proposed to establish at Birkenhead a Steam Ferry, gratis, to Liverpool, across the Mersey, so as to unite both towns into one. This Railway has the advantage of passing through the The whole dibtrict through which this railway and its branches will run has been long proved to be one con tinuous coal field, and traffic which will be derived from that commodity alone will be immense.

THIS Railway will commence at B ux t on b y a junction, with the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Mid lands Junction line, and will he carried by Bosley, Mac clesfield, and Congleton to Crewe, by which it will be im mediately connected with the Grand Junction Railway, Warrington, Liverpool, and Birkenhead. From Bosley the line will he continued to Macclesfield, there to unite with the Manchester and Birmingham Rail way. The chief object contemplated by this measure is to open a direct railway communication between Derbyshire, Cheshire, and Lancashire. Consequent on this project, and by means of Compa nies already formed, access will be provided from Che shire and Lancashire, by vi ay of Burton, to Sheffield and the whole of Yorkshire. Accommodating in its course the towns of Maccles field, Leek, Congleton, and Sandbach, (the seat of the silk manufacture,) containing a population of 80,000 in habitants; the line will also invite a very evtensive traffic from the iron districts of Wolverhampton, the manufac tures of the Staffordshire Potteries, the inexhaustible coal fields of Bid.iulph, the salt works of Lawton and the Witches, the mineral districts of North Wales, and a r byshire, the port of Liverpool, and the rising and rapidly increasing commerce of Birkenhead, In alliance with the Grand Junction and Chester and Holyhead Railways, this project will furnish the nearest and best means of intercourse from Yorkshire and the east coast, through D-rhyshire and Cheshire to Ireland. The local traffic of the various districts comprehended in this line will be found of the highest importance. The limestone quarri s of Buxton (probably the best in the kingdom) wilt be open to the iron works of Shrop shire and Staffordshire, and cannot fail to prove a great source of profit. The Cheshire salt works will be furnished with the most direct access to Yorkshire and the seaports on the east coast. The coal fields of Biddulph will be opened by a short branch of about four miles, and a cheap and abundant supply of the very best coals will be thus afford , ..d to the salt and silk districts of Cheshire. Chester and the ra pidly increasing population of Birkenhead and the neigh bourhood on the one hand, and to Buxton and North Derbyshire on the other. The slate quarries of North Wales will be thrown open to the eastern coast by the nearest route. The conveyance of cattle from the Rotherham and Sheffield markets into Cheshire, will form a great ingre dient in the Company's traffic ; whilst the cheese from Cheshire will have immediate means of transit to th• eastern districts; and the silk manufactures of Cheshire insure a direct access into Derbyshire and Yorkshire. The Liverpool and Birkenhead Docks will receive and transmit to all parts of the world the various merchandise and productions of Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Cheshire, and the central districts of England. During the summer months a great accession of visitors and tourists may be expected from Cheshire to Buxton, thence to witness the romantic and beautiful scenery of the River Wye, Bakewell, Chatsworth, Matlock, and Dovedale, to which it is proved there have been nearly 100,000 visitors annually, a number continually increasing. The extraordinary increase of travelling which every additional facility creates, and the unexpected influx of trade which every new railway brings to the district with which it is connected, render it probable that the advan tages which will be actually realized by this line will ex ceed the expectations of the most sanguine of its sup porters. . . . • It is proper to notice that this line will form an impor tant auxiliary to several railways in actual or prospective operation, which it proposes to connect together, without being a competing project to any in existence, and at the same time to observe that no other line can be formed to compete with this. From Crewe'to Buxton the distance is short of twenty six miles, and adding the line to Macclesfield of five miles, and the short branch of four miles to Biddulph, the whole length of railway to be constructed is less than thirty-five miles. The gradients have been carefully examined, and through the chief part of the line, from Crewe beyond Bosley, are extremely favourable, and the remaining portion to Bux ton presents considerably less engineering difficulties than the appearance of the country at the first glance indicates, and none but such as will be easily overcome. The Capital proposed is considered ample for the pur pose of construe ing and working the railway ; and power will be taken in the act to allow £4 per cent. per annum on all call. and deposits, until the line is actually opened. Applicants for Shares, who are personally known to members of the Provisional Committee, are requested to refer to one of such committee; those who hold stock in the Grand Junction, Chester and Birkenhead, and Ches ter and Holyhead Railways, or in the Manchester, Bux ton, Matlock, and Midlands Junction, respectively, are requested to state that fast in their applications. Other applicants will be required to give reference to some Banker or other party of known respectability in London, or the town from which such application is made. A Prospectus and Forms of Applications for Shares may be obtained on application to the Bankers of the Company, in Liverpool, Chester, Manchester, and Con gleton ; to the Solicitors; or to J. DUNCAN, Esq., 72, Lombard-street, London. In the allotment of shares local interests will have due consideration.
