This Railway has the further advantage of taking the only practicable line which the country affords, and must, then ..are, exclusively com etition, the extensive traffic wand, _ of these districts, both present and prospective The great extent of the existing traffic in passengers, cattle, sheep, wool, fish, coal, minerals, and agricultural produce, is proved by the fact, that it at present employs _ . numerous sailing vessels, besides six powerful steamers, with stage coaches, and the whole of this traffic must necessarily be engrossed by the proposed Railway. _ _ It is well known that t - . e harbour of Oban is One of tt safest roadsteads on the west coast of Scotland,_and is, in fact, greatly resorted to as a harbour of refuge for vessels of all sizes. The town of Oban, therefore, would necessarily become the great depot and centre of trade between the Low Country and all parts of the Western Isles and north-west of Scotland ; and thus a constant traffic in goods as well as passengers, would be kept up on the proposed Railway. The extensive salmon and other fisheries north and west of Oban will afford in themselves a large amount of traffic; and, from the markets that will be opened by the Railway, there is no doubt that the number and extent of these fisheries will greatly increase. The Igricultural produce and wool, which is annually exported in large quantities, will also prove a steady source of income. The cattle and sheep of the whole North-western High lands will also form an important item of traffic, as by means of the Railway they can be conveyed to Falkirk, and all the other markets of the south, without the dete rioration in quality or loss of time at present experienced, and at much less expense Upwards of 8,000 cattle and 40,000 sheep annually pass through Oban, on their way to the markets; and more than 9,000 cattle and 70,000 sheep join at Tyndrum, from Invernessshire and other parts, all of which pass along at least one-half of the proposed Line ; and there can be no doubt that large quantities of sheep and cattle, which at present find their way to the Low Country by uther routes than Oban and Tyndrum, will be sent by this Railway. _ _ The agricultural produce of the Western Highlands has of late years greatly increased by the application of the improvements in husbandry, and the facilities to be afforded by the Railway will give an impetus to farther cultivation, which will be attended with the most bene ficial results. There are large tracts of land at present nearly unavailable, which only require the opening of a constant market, and the certainty of a profitable return, to induce their cultivation to a great extent, in which the use of artificial manures will be extensively required; thus creating a source of traffic along the Railway to and from all parts. The breeding and feeding of cattle will also be greatly extended, and graziers will be enabled at once to send fat cattle to the market, instead of the present disadvantageous mode of disposing of them in a lean state. . . . A very considerable traffic will also arise from the ex tensive and important lead mines belonging to the Mar quis of Breadalbane and to other proprietors, the opera tions in which, owing to the facilities of transit, and the present great demand for, and high prices of lead/ will be greatly increased. The lime trade of Lismore, and other places near the line—the trade in slates, from the well known and extensively wrought quarries of Easdale and Ballachulish, and the transport of stones from the various quarries along the line, will all form important elements in the traffic of the railway. The entire district inter sected by the line is wholly without coal, and the trade in that indispensable article of consumpt will be very con siderable. _ _ The passenger traffic on the line will also be very exten sive. In its whole course it embraces the finest scenery in the highlands of Scotland. It winds along Lochlornond, through the romantic Glenfalloch, and again along Loch awe, by the base of Ben Cruachan and the Pass of Brander, thence by Loch Etive to Oban, passing Castle Culchuran, Inverawe House, the Falls of Connell, and Dunstaffnage and Dunolly Castles. It will also form the direct mode of access by Oben, to the far-famed Island of Staffs, the classic lona, the Coolin Hills, Lovat's Cave, and other interesting places, well known as the annual resort of tourists from all parts of Europe. It cannot fail also to become the favourite resort of those numerous parties of pleasure and for recreation from the large manufacturing towns, now so much adopted on existing railways. After the most careful inquiry, there cannot be a doubt that the traffic on this important and interesting line will be fully sufficient to afford a handsome return to the capitalist. The whole country traversed by the railway has recently been most minutely examined, and levels taken by the Engineers, who have given a most favourable report of its practicability. The gradients along the most part of the line are of the easiest description. There are no tun nels, and no works of difficulty involving an unusual expense. The length of the line is about 68 miles, and the ex pense estimated at about £600,000 ; but, to meet con tingencies, the capital has been fixed at £700,000. The greater number of the landowners along the line have expressed their approval of it, and many of them are active in promoting it. 71 usual provision will be made to limit the li ability of Shareholders to the extent of their shares, and to allow interest at the rate of four per cent. on all calls from the passing of the act to the opening of the line. A deposit of £2 10s. on each share will be required on allocation. Applications for shares must be made in the annexed form to the Solicitors and Agents, and also to the following Sharebrokers :—Mr. Robert Allan, Messrs. Robertson and Co., Mr. Albert Cay, Messrs.

THE necessity of affording Railway - communication X between Birmingham and the adjacent Districts and the Towns of Warwick, Leamington, and Banbury, has called for the revival of a Line in connection with the Lon don and Birmingham and Midland Railways, from the point of Junction between those Lines at Hampton-in- Arden to Warwick and Leamington, for which Plans and Sections were deposited by the Birmingham and Derby Railway Company (now united with the Midland) in 1841 and 1842, with a continuation of such Line from War- wick and Leamington to Banbury, where it will join the intended Buckinghamshire Railway ; and in order to effect a connection between Birmingham and the Midland Railways and Stratford, Evesham, Cheltenham, and the West by a Railway which will at the same time include Warwick and Leamington in its course, it is proposed to extend the Line from Warwick to Stratford-upon-Avon, and thence down the Valley of the Avon to Evesham and on to the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway, near Ashchurch ; and a connecting Line between the main Lines from Stratford-on-Avon to the neighbourhood of Banbury will be added, with the view of giving the most complete accommodaticm to the district in all directions. These Lines of Railway will:afford, by the Junction at Hampton-in-Arden, the most direct communication be tween Birmingham and the whole of the North of Eng land and the Towns and Districts on the Midland Rail ways, with the Towns of Warwick, Leamington, Ban bury, and the district traversed by the proposed Bucking hamshire Railway, as well as with Oxford and the South, —at the same time Warwick and Leamington, and the adjacent districts will be directly connected with Strat ford-on-Avon, Evesham, Cheltenham, and the West of England. _ The rejection, by the Legislature, of the London, Wor cester, and South Staffordshire project, has made some modification necessary in the details of the original pro posal of this Railway, the objects of which, however, remain essentially the same. Its importance is increased by the proposal of the Buckinghamshire Railway (from Banbury through that county to London), with which its interests are so intimately connected. These objects are considered of so much importance by the Local interests that their full support has been obtained for carrying them into effect. The London and Birmingham and Midland Companies unite in ro-operation to insure the most effectual cora.. pletion of the objects in view. _ _ Careful surveys of the whole Country have been made, under the direction of Mr. ROBERT STEPHENSON, and application will be made to Parliament for an Act in the next Session. No further application for Shares can be received PROVISIONALLY REGISTERED.

RAILWAY is a Direct Line from London to Man chester, coming from London to Rugby along the London and Birmingham Line, and proceeding from Rugby by Hinckley through Market-Bosworth ,and Ashby-de-la- Zouch, to Derby, thence to Ashbourne and Macclesfield, and along the Macclesfield and. Stockport, and Stockport and Manchester Railways, into Manchester. Branches to Leake atid , Buxton are in contemplation. The principle of thisrailway 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. 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. Thr same will apply to Sheffield, when the Sheffield and Chesterfield branch of the North Midland Railway is made.

Charles Naylor, Esq., Leeds. THIS Company is formed for the construction of a Railway from Liverpool to Leeds, in a direct course, passing from near the Bur) Terminus of the Liverpool and Bury Railway, throngh Bury, Rochdale, and Halifax, to Leeds. By this Line a saving of nearly thirty miles will be effected over the present tedious and circuitous route. The Surveys for deposit with the Clerks of the Peace have been ordered, and the Provisional Committee will take every necessary measure for bringing the Line before Parliament in next Session, confident of a successful re sult. In the mean time, it is sufficient to add, that this Line is most powerfully supported, and is imperatively called for to connect Leeds with Liverpool in a direct route, and to join the latter port by Railway with Hull on the opposite coast. The traffic through this district in goods alone is such, that, spite of the advantages conferred by the present circuitous Railways, so large a proportion of the traffic between Liverpool and Leeds is carried by the tedious route of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal that the Shares of the latter Company, on which £lOO have been paid. continue selling at £555. For the investment of Capital few undertakings can present such advantages as the present, accommodating as it will an immense and daily increasing traffic, and running through the heart of the manufactilting districts. If arrangements beneficial to this Company can be made with other existing or projected Lines, the Provisional Committee will take power to enter into and carry out such arrangements, and these may result in such a Line being constructed between the proposed termini, in com bination with existing Lines, as may enable the Directors materially to reduce the amount of the capital. Applications for Shares, i n th e f o ll ow i ng f orm , accom panied with satisfactory References, (without which no application will, on any account, be attended to,) may be made to the SOLICITORS, or to the following BROKERS:— namely, THEODORE UZIELLI, Esq., 75, 011 Broad-street, London; Messrs.

THE GREAT ADVANTAGES Of the Rugby, Derby and Manchester Railway, over the other projects into Manchester, among others, are— First,—That then- are only seventy-five miles of Rail way to be made in place of one hundred and eighty-nine. Secondly,—That it is a more direct line from London to Manchester than even the proposed Direct Lines. Thirdly,—That it interferes with no existing Railway Property or Vested Interests. Fourthly,—That it passes through a district rich in Manufactures, Agriculture, and Minerals, but which — more especially as regards its agricultural produce, and a convenient system of intercommunication for the convey ance of that agricultural produce, to supply the large ma nufacturing towns in the vicinity—has been hitherto left totally without Railway communication. Fifthly,—That it passes through the towns in its route in place . of avoiding them. Sixthly,—That the whole line of Railway from Rugby to Manchester will be completed and in working order within ten months from the passing of the Act of Parlia ment. Seventhly,—That the Maps, Plans, Estimates, and other Documents required by the Standing Orders of Parliament, will be lodged with the Parish Clerks, the Clerks of the Peace for the Counties, and the Parliamen tary Offices, on the 10th day of November next, being twenty days within the time required by the regulations of Parliament. The Report of the Engineer of the Company is already completed, and will be made public in a few days, upon which a further and full Prospectus, with the names of the Provisional Directory will be published.
