Samuel Holdsworth, Esq Tlus Railway will proceed from York to Lancaster, about 72 miles, by the most direct practicable route, and pass near Knaresborough, Harrowgate, Long Preston, : Settle, and many other important places. The counties of York and Lancaster comprise a population of 3,500,000 persons, and are, perhaps, the most wealthy and populous divisions of the kingdom. The roads between York and Lancaster are mostly carried over the tops of hills, and, in winter, are nearly impassable. This line will pass along the valleys, and the journey, now rarely made by coach within twelve hours, may be performed on the railway in two hours and a half. It will provide facilities of access to all the great ma nufacturing, mining, and agricultural districts of the north of England, to the Isle of Man, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales; to Hamburgh, by connecting Morecambe Bay and Fleetwood Harbour on the west coast with the port of Hull on the east coast ; to the Lakes of Westmore land and Cumberland; to Harrowgate, celebrated for its unrivalled sulphur, mineral, and chalybeate springs ; and to the important intermediate districts between York and Lancaster, which abound with valuable minerals and raise vast q uantities of live stock and agricultural produce. Many places near the intended course of the line are known to possess inexhaustible supplies of lead, iron, slate, limestone, freestone, and other useful minerals, but these are now comparatively unavailing from the great cost of coals and carriage. The railway will rapidly develope these sources of prosperity, by introducing coals at a low price, and providing cheap carriage for mineral produce of every kind ; it will also furnish a most desirable means of transit for passengers and merchandise to and from every part of the kingdom, and a cheap conveyance for immense quantities of live stock and agricultural produce from the rural to the manufacturing and mining districts. Many completed and projected railways will intersect this line, and greatly facilitate traffic and int( rcourse in every di rection. With the Directors of these railways, and of various others which have a station at York or Lancaster, the Committee will endeavour to make arrangements likely to prove mutually beneficial, and they have much pleasure in stating that the landowners along the line are extremely favourable to the undertaking, and consider it will materially augment the value of thtir possessions and prove advantageous to the country and the shareholders. It has been fully ascertained that the proposed line pre sents but few engineering difficulties, and that, although it will pass through some very hilly districts, it may be constructed along valleys, and with favourable gradients throughout nearly its entire course. The liability of the lders will be restricted by Act of Parliament to unt of their subscriptions, and power will be in the bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum on all calls, from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line. Applications for Shares may be addressed, in the form annexed, to the undermentioned Brokers, viz. :—Messrs. B. and M. Boyd, Princes-street; Messrs.

RUGBY, DERBY, AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY. [PROVISIONALLY REGISTERED.] CAPITAL: £1,500,000, jn 60,000 , SHA/iES of £25 , , each. DEPOSIT, £1 7s. 6d. per Share. THE RUGBY, DERBY, AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY is a Direct Line from London to Man chester, coming from Lon e r7 ro to Rugby along the London and Birmingham Line, ane pceeding from Rugby by Hinckley through Mar -Bosworth and Ashby-de-la- Zouch, to Derby, the eto Ashbourne and Macclesfield, and along the Ma esfield and Stockport, and Stockport and Manchester Railways, into Manchester. Branches to Leake and Buxton are in contemplation 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. 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 betwem Manchester and Derby, and will considerably short, n 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 bas 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. TUE GREAT ADVANTAGES Of the Rugby, Derby and Manchester Railway, over the other projects into Manchester, among others, are— First,—That ther are only seventy-five miles of Rail way to be made in place of one hundred and eighty-nine. Secondly,—Tbatit is a more direct line from London to Manchester than even the proposed Direct Lines. Thirdly,—That lit interferes with no existing Railway Property or Vested Interests. Fourtbly,—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 offintercommunication 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 co mpleted, 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. In the meantime communications may be addressed to THOMAS GEORGE SMITH, Esq., 2, Warnford-court, Throgmorton-street ; JOHN Fox, Esq., Solicitor, and THOS. JONES, Esq., the Company's Agent, Ashborn ; E. KEMP JERVIS, Esq., Solicitor, Hinckley ; G. GREAVES, Esq., Derby ; Messrs. J. B. and D. NitusoN, Liverpool, and to the Comp an y 's Solicitor, THOMAS GIBSON BREWER, Esq., 14, Gray's Inn-square. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Name Reference eventually be carried direct to Falmouth, the most west erly Port in the Channel." Under these auspices, and with this strong expression from the Legislature, it may be considered that a conti nuous Line of Railway, from London, through Salisbury to Yeovil and Exeter, no less than thirty miles shorter than the devious course of the Great Western Railway, is already morally secured. In order, therefore, to com plete this great national project thus suggested by the House of Lords, it rzmains only to extend this direct Exeter Line, without change of guage or terminus, direct to Falmouth and Penzance. The saving in actual distance thus effected between London and Falmouth, as compared with the Great Western and its extensions, amounts to more than fifty miles ; whilst the time also saved by avoiding the passage of the Hamoaze, to say nothing of all other difficulties involved in that project, was estimated, in the recent in quiry before Parliament, as equal to a saving of fifteen or twenty miles more. Bearing in mind, therefore, the geographical position of Falmouth and Penzance, especially the great advantages of the former, as the most westernly station for our Naval and Packet Service, and as affording a most secure Har bour of Refuge in the event of war; and remembering, too, that this must eventually become the highway to the Mediterranean, the East and West Indies, and America, the importance to the Admiralty and Lloyd's of such a direct Railway, with a continuous and efficient Electric Telegraph, can hardly be over-rated. The Central District from Exeter, Westward, has been recently re-surveyed, and has been found to afford a main Trunk Line, with good locomotive gradients, attainable without Engineering difficulties, and at a reasonable ex pense ; the general course being near or through Crediton, Bow, Hatherleigh, North Tawton, Okehampton, Laun ceston, Carnelford, Bodmin, St. Columb, St. Austell, (by means of a branch.) Truro, and Penryn, to Falmouth ; at Truro, an extension line through West Cornwall will diverge to Chacewater, Redruth, Camborne, Hayle (with a branch to Sc. Ives,) Marazion, and Penzance. This extension runs tor more than thirty miles through the most populous and flourishing part of Cornwall ; and the tables of the recently-rejected West Cornwall Bill shewed an existing traffic, through that district, of £lO per cent., after deducting working expenses. But as the constructing and working this Line by a separate Com pany would be productive of unnecessary expense and in convenience to the Public, the line to Penzance, as well as to Falmouth, will form an integral portion of the main work under one and the same management. From Truro, eastward, the main line will pass several important mines ; and near Bodmin will throw out a branch through the China Clay district to St. .Austell, and its populous mining neighbourhood. It will also avail itself of the railways now in process of construction from Newquay on the north, and Par on the southern channel, whilst a connexion with the already constructed railway from Bodmin to Wadebridge, will open, through the port of Padstow, the best communication betwee n Co r k, th e South of Ireland, and London. Advancing further, an opportunity will occur of establishing a traffic with the well known Delabole Slate Quarries on the one hand, and the flourishing Caradon Mines on the other; whilst the sand supplied by the Bude Canal, and the lime which abounds in the neighbourhood of Launceston, will form the subject of most considerable transport into the highly improvable agricultural districts westward and eastward. Passing onward into Devonshire, a branch will he thrown out from the main line to the port of Bideford, thus opening, for the mineral produce of Wales, a market in Central Devon and Cornwall, which are destitute of Coal ; and another branch will diverge southward by Ta vistock to Plymouth, thus affording the most direct com munication between those towns and Exeter. This branch being also accessible from Launceston, will open for the north and west of Cornwall, and for Falmouth, a line to Plymouth, in point of time, shorter than the lately pro jected line across the Homoaze from Plymouth to Fal mouth. Should the traffic, nevertheless, be found to jus tify another branch from a point near Bodmin, through Liskeard to Plymouth, such a branch may and will be constructed. Arriving within fourteen miles of Exeter, the main line will be joined from the north by a direct line from Ilfra combe and Barnstaple, to Exeter, and about seven miles further on by the Dartmouth, Brixham, Torbay, and Exeter line, an amalgamation of which two lines is now under consideration, thus affording to these two friendly companies a direct communication from north to south, from the Bristol to the English channel, and carrying their traffic on one common trunk, on to one common terminus, with the Yeovil line at Exeter. The inspection of a Map will better show the import ance of this comprehensive scheme, which overspreads the surface of Devon and Cornwall, and leaves little to be desired to give full value and effect to objects of such im portance. The supply and demand created by this large area,—its population, amounting to more than 600,000,—its ports, situate on both channels,—its Fishing, Mining, Commer cial, and Agricultural advantages,—its exports of Corn, Wool, and Cattle,—its probable consumption of Coal, Manure, Mining, and general supplies,—wer fully gone into in the recent inquiry before the House of Lords, and forcibly require increased facilities, and diminished cost of transport. The general evidence, also, given in that house, showed a good remunerative existing traffic, without any such increase as may reasonably be expected from a well digested system of Branches ; and when the further in crease in passenger and general traffic, east and west, is taken into consideration, which must necessarily arise from bringing Falmouth, its harbour and foreign relations, and Penzance, with its much sought climate and early markets, so much nearer to the Metropolis and the North ern and Eastern parts of England than can possibly be accomplished by any other devisable railway communica tion; and when it is also borne in mind, that from the Peninsular form of the County of Cornwall this Line. when established, can have no competitor, it is not too much to assert that this project offers a very eligible op portunity for the investment of capital. The strong feeling in favour of a Central Line, evinced by Public Meetings and Petitions from every part of the County of Cornwall and West Devon, the support of No blemen, Magistrates, Merchants, Mine Owners, and Agriculturists, in the recent struggle; the numerous and strong assurance of support already received from the land-owners and general interests along the line; and the hearty concurrence- and co-operation of the Associated Companies, the names of whose members appear in the Provisional Committee ;—leave no doubt of the success ful issue of the application which will be made to parlia ment in the next session. The Act to be applied for will contain the usual clauses for limiting the liabilities of Shareholders to the amount of their Subscriptions, and for allowing interest at £4 per cent. per annum on all Calls, from the time of payment until the opening of the line. The ?rovisional Committee reserve to themselves the power of making such alterations in the Main Line, or Branches, and also of entering into such arrangements for the constructiou of those Branches, by Auxiliary Compa nies, as may be deemed advisable. The Deposit will be payable on the Allotment of the Shares. It is intended to proceed to an early allotment, giving a preference to local applicants, and to the Share holders in the above-named Associated Companies. The usual Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be executed by the Shareholders when called upon. Applications for Shares in the form annexed, (accom panied by a satisfactory reference,) should be addressed to T. H. TILLY, Esq., Solicitor, Falmouth, or to LEWIS CROMBIE, Esq., Interim Secretary, 63, Moorgate-street, London ; or to the following Brokers :—Messrs. TUCKER, BARNETT, and Co., Birchin-lane, or H.

L. S. TREL AWN EY, Bart., Lord Lieu tenant of the County of Cornwall, seconded by J. K. LETHBRIDGE, Esq., " That the general interests of the County of Cornwall, as well as of the public at I irge, absolutely require that no trunk-line should be sanctioned through the County which does not afford the most direct, central, safe, and continuous Railway communication from Falmouth and Penzance to London." Moved by J. H. TREMAYNE, Esq., seconded by C. B SAWLE, Esq., " That this Meeting pledges itself to support that Rail way project which shall be best calculated substantially to carry out that great principle." Moved by W. A. 11. ARUNDELL, Esq., seconded by H. WILLYAMS, Esq., _ - - • • " That the thanks of this Meeting are due to the Noble men and Gentlemen who have come forward in aid of the County of Cornwall ; that the Prospectus be adopted, and the Provisional Committee immediately formed, for the purpose of effectually carrying out the Cornwall and De von Central Railway." PROSPECTUS The Bill for making a Railway from Plymouth to Fal mouth, and the West Cornwall Railway Bill, having been both rejected by Parliament, and the projected South Devon Railway from Exeter to Plymouth pursuing only a winding and precarious course along the margin of the Southern Channel, the great area of Devonshire, West of Exeter, and the whole of the County of Cornwall, are now destitute of railway accommodation. The object of the present undertaking is to provide an efficient system of Railway communication for the whole of this Western Peninsula ; and as the waste of capital and time, involved in the circuitous route by Bristol, is greatly complained of, the leading and indispensable fea ture of the project will be to obtain the most direct, punc tual, and economical line between London, Falmouth, and Penzance. As far as Exeter, that project is already in the hands of the "L on d on an d South Western," the " London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Junction," and the " Yeovil, Dorchester. and Exeter" Companies. It was this central line, westward, which the Committee of the House of Lords, on the Wilts and Somerset Railway ' Bill, in the present session, obliged the Great Western Railway Company to pledge themselves not to oppose, and which they speak of in their report " as the line which the best interests of the Country require, and which must KENNET AND AVON CANAL NAVIGATION PROPOSED CONVERSION of the CANAL into the LONDON, NEWBURY, and BATH DIRECT RAILWAY, BY HUNGERFORD, MARLBOROUGH, DEVIZES, TROW BRIDGE, AND BRADFORD. A T a MEETING of the Proprietors at large of Shares -C1 in the Kennet and Avon Canal Navigation, held at the Railway Hotel, Reading, on Tuesday, the 26th day of August, 1845, pursuant to public advertisement, fur the purpose of considering the propriety of applying to Par liament in the next session for power to convert the said canal into a Railway, or make a Railway along the line of the said Canal, and for making any extension thereof, or of joining with any other party or parties in making the same, _ _ Admiral DULDAS, C. 8., M.P., in the Chair, It was unanimously resolved, That application be made to Parliament in the next ses sion for the necessary powers for converting the canal into a railway from Newbury and Hungerford to Bath, and for this purpose to take power to increase the capital of the Company by any sum not exceeding £800,000; and the Committee of Management are hereby empowered and requested to take all necessary steps, and make such application to Parliament, with full authority to make such alterations and deviations in the line for the purpose of improving the same as they shall think fit. That the increased capital of £BOO,OOO be raised by the creation of new shares at £l5 each, and that each proprie tor of Kennet and Avon shares be offered two new shares in addition to each one present share. That interest at the rate of £4 per cent. per annum be paid on deposits and calls on new shares. That the proposed railway be called " The London, Newbury, and Bath Direct Railway." In pursuance of the foregoing resolutions, the Proprie tors are invited to apply for shares in the subjoined form, addressed to the Principal Clerk at the Company's Office at Marlborough, on or before SATURDAY, the 13th in stant.

Lang, Esq., 37, Great George-street, Westminster THIS Railway will commence at a suit a bl e p o i n t o f th e Edinburgh Branch of the Caledonian Railway, at or near Mid-Calder, and proceed westwards by easy and con venient gradients, accommodating the populous towns and villages of Livingstone, Bathgate, Blackburn, Whitburne, and Clarkstone, to the Airdrie District, where it will form a junction with the existing and projected Lines to Glas gow and the west of Scotland. - The populous district traversed by this Railway, is one of the richest in Scotland. It abounds in Ironstone, Coal, Limestone, and other Minerals ; and it only re quires the advantages of Railway accommodation to de velope its resources. The revenue as a Mineral Line alone should suffice to yeild the largest return legally exigible by Railway Pro prietors; and when it is considered that, by the junctions already referred to, this Line will form a direct, short, and uninterrupted route between the Cities of Edinbu.gh and Glasgow, and connect East, West, and Mid-Lothian, and the whole of the Eastern Counties of Scotland, not merely with Glasgow, but with the Counties of Renfrew, Ayr, Wigton, and Kircudbright, and their important Seaports, it would be difficult to overvalue the present Line as a great national undertaking. To those acquainted with the district it is unnecessary to point out the immense local importance of this Line and its dependencies ; and to the inhabitants of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Greenock, and all the other Towns in the East and West of Scotland, it would be superfluous to men tion the advantages of such a Line, wkether as respects safety and comfort, or economy and expedition ; but for the benefit of those at a distance, it may be well to state, that, while it avoids objectionable tunnels, viaducts, and other heavy works, it is also shorter by at least one-sixth, of the whole distance than any other Line between the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, and will farther be the means of conveying, without transhipment, Passengers and Goods from the East to the West Coast. The largest proprietors along the Line have already given their most cordial assent to this undertaking; and there cannot be a doubt that, as it will meet the demands of the public, it will in due time receive the sanction of the legislature.
