Edited by the First Railway Gentlemen of the day. When due weight is given to the important fact that there is now upwards of one hundred millions of the capi tal of this country invested in hallways, and that the im portance and extent of Railway communication is daily and hourly increasing; and when we consider that not only in this country, but in every civilized part of the globe, Railways are rapiltr extending themselves, and gradually superseding the old and more tedious modes of conveyance, it must be apparent to every thinker that an impartial record okfacts, a well-digested series of opinions, and a faithful chionicle of business transactions connected with the all-absorbing topic of the day, mnst be of great value to those so deeply connected with the subjects treated of. The Railway Telegraph will, by its price and mode of publication, accommodate itself to the great mass of the Railway public, more than other Railway Journals have hitherto done; bat while the price of the Paper will be lower than others, the Proprietors confidently anticipate teat none of its patrons will find it in any degree inferior to journals of a 'nigher price. Nothing that untiring de votion to the interests of those connected with Railways, or that a ready access to the e«rlit st and best information can accomplish, will be spared. The Meetings of all the Railway Companies—the Proceedings connected with the proposed Linens—the Progress of Lines in execution—the Debates in Parliament on Railway Subjects—and every event of public in'erest which transpires in the World of Commerce wfil be duly recorded in TUE RASLWAY A Bonus in ready money, at the rate of 15 per cent. on the premiums received. (equivalent to a reversionary bonus of 30 per cent.,) was declared in May, 1842, en all benicial policies on which three annual premiumc had been paid in the December previous. A &vision of the profits takes place every five years, and the holders of beneficial policies can receive their bonuses in ready money, or have them applied in aug mentation of their policies, or in reduction of their future premiums. Assurers may contract to pay their Premiums either in one sum, in a given number of payments, in annual, half-yearly, or quarterly payments, or on the ascending or descending scale. Officers in the Army and Navy on active service, Persons afflicted with chronic and other diseases, and such as are going beyond the limits of Europe, are also Assured at moderate Rates.

T is admitted that a more direct Line of comnannication I between Liverpool and Preston and the North is much wanted, and that it is eesirable there should be a Railway communication from Manchester to Southport, this Com pany is therefore formed fort e purpose of accomplishing these objects, which it. proposes to do at less cost than any other Line as yet before the public, and without inter fering to the same extent with the interests of existirg Companies. It is intended to commence the main Line at a point en the Liverpool and Bury Line, now before Parliament, at or near the village of Kirkby, which is distant about six miles from the Liverpool terminus; proceeding north ward, it passes east of Waddicar and Melling-cum-Cons cough, thence in a direct line to ORNISKIItK, running to the east of 11d.os End,,croising the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, at or near Glover's Bridge, leaving Raiford to the north, and thence proceeds to 14.1ccleston, and 'crossing the river Yarrow, runs into the North Union Railway, at the Junction of the Bolton .and Preston Railway near Buxton Station. The distance from :Kirkby , to the Junction of the Bolton and Preston Line with the North Union Railway-is about In miles, and that length of Line will only be required to effect, in connection with the Liverpool and Bury and North Union Lines, a direct Line from Liverpool to Preston, the entire distance:being 29 miles, which will be traversed in one hour at•the most. It is also proposod , to.connectSouthport, with Oimskirk, Wigan, Bolton, Manchester, and other populous.clistricts, by making Branches from the main Line at .oroaskirk, passing south of Scaribbrick Tank to Southport, and east wardly, towards Skelmersdale, meeting the proposed Branch of the Liverpool and Bury Line at a convenient point near Blagitegate Collieries. The Passenger Traffic between the localities connected Ey this Line of Railway is at present very, considerable, and will be much increased when the Lines in the course of construction and those proposed form an unbroken Railway communication between Liverpool, Preston, Lan caster, Carlisle, Newcastle, .Glasgow, Edinburgh, and the whole Of the North of Great Britain. 41 conjunction with the Preston and Wyre Railway to Fleetwood, this proposed Line will form a anode of ,con veyance for Passengers and Goods to Belfast and the North of Ireland. _ . . . The facility of communication which this Line affordsto - • • -• the t::lllahie Coal fields a Bickerstaffe, Lathatn, and the rest of this important Coal district, insures to the proprie- tors the most important advantages Thine are no difficult or expensive Engineering Works on the Line. thus rendering it all but certain that the esti mate of .1:350,C0'J is amply sufficient, which, when com pared with some of the projects now before the public, shows a very considerable saving in the cost of obtaining a DIRECT communication. The Branches to Southport and Wigan will afford mutual advantages, as they offer easy access to the de lightful andsnuch-frequented watering place of Southport, and a very great increase on the present traffic may fairly be calculated upon. The estimate of revenue, based upon the existing traffic, shows a good return for the capital invested. Means will be taken to obtain an Act of Parliament in the ensuitig Session, with the customary clauses for restricting the liability of each Shareholder, and it is pro posed to allow 4 per tent. interest on the paid-up capital. A number of Shares in this Line will be reserved for the Shareholders of Lines immediately connected with it. Applications for Shares may be made in the form below, to the Solicitors for the Company, to Mr. BURDETT, Solicitor, Marsden-street, Manchester, or to any of the following Sharebrokers :—Messrs.

Provisionally Registered pursuant to 7 and 8 Viet. c. 110. THIS Railway will commence at the Rugby Station of the London and Birmingham Railway, and will pro ceed in nearly a straight line to Derby, using so much of the Leicester and Swannington Railway as lies in its course. From thence it will join the High Peak and Manches ter, Buxton, Matlock, and Midland Railways. The principle of this Railway is to obtain a direct through line between some of the most important districts in the kingdom with the least possible amount of new railway, and consequently the smallest expenditure of capital. The proposed Railway will form a direct continuation of the London and Birmingham Railway, to Manchester, and thus supersede the necessity of any direct Manches ter and London Railway, as the distance to London by this route will be as short as by either of the proposed direct Manchester and London tiailways. It will also establish the shortest direct communication between Derby and London, Sheffield and London, and between all the towns on the North Midland Railway and London. The Manchester, Derby, and Rugby Railway will open a direct communication between Manchester and Derby, and will considerably shorten the distance between Man chester and Nottingham and Manchester and Leicester. The line from Derby to Rugby will establish the direct communication from that town to London, which has been so long considered desirable by the inhabitants. The same wiU apply to Sheffield, when the Sheffield and Chesterfield Branch of the North Midland Railway is made. The support of the London and Birmingham, the North Midland, and Manchester, Buxton, and Midlands Rail ways, may be expected for this line. A report on the line, by one of the most eminent engi neers of the day, is in coarse of preparation ; after which a detailed prospectus, with the names of a most powerful directory, together with the amount of capital, &c., will be published.

THE colony of British Guiana possesses superior phy sical capabilities for the construction of railways, the country near the sea presenting an almost absolute level over an area of several hundred square miles. The entire produce of the district called the east coast, which is in the county of Demerara, consisting of sugar, rum, molasses, &c., as well as the supplies of the planta tions, comprising coals, bricks, lime, lumber, and other bulky articles, are at present conveyed to and from Georgetown, the capital of the colony, and the port at which they must be landed or shipped, in punts and coasting schooners, at considerable risk and expense. It is to this district that the proposed Company intend first to direct their operations, by constructing a railway from Georgetown to Mahaica, a distance of 20 miles, along which line there are, besides sugar plantations, many villages containing a numerous and increasing po pulation. As all the risk and delay, and a great part of the ex pense now incurred in carrying on the traffic would thereby be obviated, there can be no doubt that it would be wholly transferred to this railway. Estimates of traffic, founded upon the tables published by the Royal Agricultural and Commercial Society of British Guiana for the year 1844, have been carefully prepared, from which it appears fairly that, on a moderate scale of charges, and after making a deduction of 40 per cent. for working expenses, a return of 10 per cent. upon the capital of the Company may be expected. The Provisional Committee are also satisfied that a great addition to their contemplated profits will progres sively arise from the continued influx of labour into the colony, as well as from the natural increase of , the popu lation. The existing estates along the line are capable of doubling their present production as soon•as they can (by an accession of labour) be fully cultivated, and thereby yield an adequate profit; and the cultivation of many estates now abandoned, will be resumed. The Committee look forward to an early extension of the Railway towards the county of Berbice, which would still further augment the traffic. There can be no doubt that a project so advantageous as the present in every respect to the interests of all persons connected with British Guiana, will meet with the approbation of her Majesty's Government, and the cordial support of the authorities in the colony, many of the principal residents of which have suggested the present project.... Early steps will be taken for the incorporation of the company by an Act of the Colonial Legislature, to be sanctioned by the Crown, by which due provision will be made for limiting the responsibility of the shareholders to the amounts of their respective subscriptions. Estimates of cost have been already prepared, and the execution of the work will be intrusted to a skilful cngineer, who will be sent out immediately to superintend the construction of the railway. Applications for shares, in'tbe form annexed, and for copies of the Prospectus, may be made to the Hon. Secretary, Henry Hill, Esq., at the West India Com mittee Rooms, Old Jewry, on or before the 25th instant. Copies of the Prospectus may also be bad from A. F.

The coal duty. imposed by the Act 'William IV. for a term of seven years, after having been renewed for seven more, would, in the course of events, have expired on the 31st of December next ; but parliament has come to its aid, and is about to grant it an extended life till the sth of July, 1e62, by which time it will have become such a re spectable old impost, that there will be something like irreverence in wanting to get rid of it.
