Charles, Foster, and Sons Birmingham:--The Town and District Banking Company Yarmouth :—Messrs. Gurney and Co., and Messrs Lacon and Co. This proposed important line of Railway is intended to commence at the Central Station at Wolverhampton, (prom which place lines are projected to Shrewsbury and Wales,) and to proceed by the Grand Junction, and a line of Railway to Walsall, from thence through or near the important and improving Towns of Sutton Coldfield, Atherstone, Hinckley, Market Bosworth, Leicester. Up ningham, Stamford, Peterborough, Wisbeach, Swaffham, East Dereham, to Norwich, where it will join the Nor wich end Yarmouth Railway. The line will pass through a very populous Mining, Manufacturing, and Agricultural District, and in lieu of the present very circuitous and expensive route, it will provide the shortest and most advantageous communica• tion between the Western Midland, and East rn Counties. As this Railway will be a direct line from Wolverhamp ton to Great Yarmouth, and pass through the Midland and Eastern Counties, it is apparent that the Western, Midland, and Eastern Counties will obtain a direct com munication with each other, effecting a Grand Trunk line communicating from East to West through the centre of the kingdom ; and not only will the Commercial and Agricultural interests benefit by this great undertaking, but the important Iron Districts of the Counties of Staf ford and Salop will derive great advantages from the con venient and extensive new Mart which will be opened for their valuable Minerals ; in short, it will be the means of conveying into the Mining and Manufacturing Districts a greater supply of Corn and Cattle, arid into the Agri cultural Districts Merchandize. Iron, and Fuel, and ena ble the Eastern, Midland, and Western Counties of Eng land to exchange their respective Manufactures and Pro - dare as well with each other as with Ireland, and the Midland and Western Counties to reeeice from the Ports of Liverpool, Wisbeach. and Great Yarmouth. the imports from the Continents of Europe and America more speedily and at a much cheaper rate than at present. The commercial advantages and great facilities which the Ports of Wisbeach and Great Yarmouth offer to the Merch.int and Manufacturer evidently point out the ne cessity for a more direct communication between the East of England and the Midland, Western, and Northern Counties than is at present afforded. It. is unnecessary to point out the obvious advantage which the whole Manu facturing and Agricultural Districts in those Counties will derive from having direct access to such Ports, which must become, by their contiguity to the Flemish and Dutch Coasts, the chief medium of transit to those parts of the Continent. The position of the Ports of Wisbeach and Great Yar mouth -bows that they are most con , enienrly situated for connecting the Northern, Western, and Midland Counties with the Continent north of the Tex-l. The Merchants and Inhabitants of the Eastern Ports are now confident that Wisbeach and Great Yarmouth will become the great channel of commercial intercourse between the Northern, Western, Midland, and Eastern Counties of England and the Continent of Europe; and a Company is being formed for the Establishment of Seam Picket Communications between those Ports and the Kingdoms of Bigium and Holland. It is unnecessary, with regard to such a line of Rail way, to give speculative details of Passenger and Goods Traffic, and which may be neci scary where the remunera tive amount is questionable. Tile main feauture of this line of Railway is the establishment of a direct communi cation between Ports and Mineral Districts, the traffic of which it is known will be very great. It is sufficient to state, that it pro nines to be equal to the traffic of the most profitable lines in the kingdom. It must also be obvious that the intermediate traffic be tween the several Towns in a line passing through Central England from West to East will he very considerable, and additionally remunerative to a Railway Proprietary. In the allotment of Shares, a preference will be given to Landowners on the line, Merchants and others locally in terested ; also to Directors and Shareholders in Railways connected with this undertaking. The line will be supported by powerful local influence, and the interests of Noblemen and Gentlemen whose pro perty is affected by it will be in every way consulted. Until the Act of Parliament is obtained, the affairs of the Company will be under the Control of a Committee of Management. No Subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his Deposit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his Subscription.

THE Line of Railway projected under the a bove-named title, has been undertaken at the suvgestion of several influential parties in South Staffordshire, Leicestershire, Rutlandshire, Nor hamptotishire, Cam bridgeshire, and Norfolk, as combining (without being a competing Line with any Railway at present made) all the advantages of !everal projected Lines, with additions of no ordinary value. It connects the important Manufacturing Towns of Wolverhampton, Walsall, and Norwich together. Also the Mineral Districts of StaffMrdshire, and Agricultural District: of Leicestershiro"and Rutlandshire, with the Coast of Norfolk, and Wits affords an easy transit from the Midland Counties ii .h the Kingdoms of Holland and Belgium.

This undertaking ;ill, in a great measure, carry out the objects of the act obtained in 1 25 for making a ship canal for uniting the Bristol and Etiglisn channels. It is intended to form a harbour at Stolford, in Bridgewater Bay, below the mouth of the river Paire.t, the place adopted by the late eminent engineer Mr Telford, alter bestowing great pains in the selection of a suitabb , harli ur and entrance to the canal in the Bristol channel, and to construct a railway from th rice to Bridg , water, Taunton, Ilminster, Crew kerne, Beaminster. Bride rt and its harbour, and trout Iluninster to Chard, Axminster, and Lyme Regis; and, as a branch is intended to be made by the Exeter, Yeovil, and Dorchester Rail.v ay Ccmpuny to Axmouth, a direct communication between the Bristol Channel and three important seaports in the English Channel will he effected. Siolford posses es peculiar advantages for a seaport. There is the deepest water along that coast ; and steam packets and vessels will be able to enter within, and de part from the harbour at all times, without reference to the state of the tide, except vessels of great draught of water, which also will be able to do so very early on the flu , of the tide. It is therefore obvious that SUilford, with the proposed internal railway communication extending throughout the whole of the west o f E ng land, ma y be come the principal packet station and port, on the English side of the Bristcl Channel, for Wales, Ireland, the West Indies, Atnerica, and, indeed all parts of the world. 'I he proposed line of railway passes Combwich, Canning ton, mid Bridgewater, on its route to Taunton, almost on a perfect level. The length from Stolford to Bridgewater will be seven and a half miles; whereas the distance by the river (the navigation of which is very intricate, and continually subject to interruption) is about twenty miles. 'the immense saving in time, expense , and risk is very ap parent. From Bridgewater to Taunton, Ilminster, and Chard the railway will adopt the lines of the Bridgewater and Taunton and Chard Canals. At Bridgewater it is intended to connect the line with the proposed London, Devizes, and Bridgewater Direct Western Railway, whereby thirty miles of distance will be saved between London and Bridgewater. It is also in tended to connect the line with the proposed Bridgewater and Minehead Junction Railway, with the branch from Bristol and Exeter Railway to Yeovil, which passes through or near Langport, South Petherton, and Ilctiester ; and at Taunton with the ntam line of the Bristol and Exeter Railway Company, and the proposed North Devon and Cornwall lines; also with the proposed Exeter, Yeovil, and Dorchester Railway, and the S. u,hern Coast line. This line will intersect every railway which now exists or may be made running estward and westward between the two channels; and rails will be laid down to suit both the broad and narrow gunge carriages, should both guages be adopted in the West of England. The extensive inter communication thus effected cannot fail to secure an im mense traffic in passengers, minerals, largeau and merchandise. The manufac turing''he rtnowilwn•sayop assingf C an through ningt(!n, Bridgewater, Taunton, ll minster, Crewkerne, Benninger, Chard, and Axminster, on its route to the three ports of Bridport, Lyme Regis, and Axmouth, comprising a district containing 2501X10 inhabitants, will be the means of tianspott of Welsh and Forest of Dean coal and calm throughout it, and also the interchanEel communication for merchandize. The commodious harbour of Bridport, in atidltion to the extent of commerce already existing there, will also, to all probability, bocume an advantageous place of export for the coal and iron of South Wales to the Channel - Islands and western pacts of Fran , e, and may also be a packet station, and thus the dangerous and tedious nav'gation round ti.e Land's End, often long protracted in conse quence of the wind, which is favourable for nav;gating one channel, being the reverse for the other, will be avoided. This line will also render the fashionable watering places of Lyme Regis and Charmouth and the important Port of Lyme easy of access from all parts of the King dom. As the Bridgewater and Taunton and the Chard Canals will be pursued, and form about one-half of the entire length of the railway, that portion of the line will occa sion little or no interference with private property, and will effect not only a great saving in the cost of the works, but also in the time of their construction. and render it available for traffic and profit much earlier than would otherwise be the case. Power is reserved to the Provisional Committee to vary the course of the line, and to make extensions or abridg ments thereto, and to enter into such arrangments with any other persons or Company as they may deem expedient. The liability of the shareholders will he coLfiited to the amount of their respective shares, and interest at the rate of £4 per ceutum per annum, will be allowed on the paid up capital until the opening of the line.

The Directors of this Company have now the satis faction to announce to their shareholders that all dif ferences with the Proprietors on the Grarvon line having been satisfactorily arranged, the OPENING OF THAT BRANCH WILL TAKE PLACE WITHOUT DELAY. The Directors have for some time past had in view the great advantages to be derived by the extrusion of their line from Grantor) to Winchburgh. To the noble Pro prietnr of Granton Per, this extension would secure a direct communic ition with Glasgow—to the Shareholders, besides thc entire traffic betw-en these two ports, a very large proportion of the traffic on the Edinburgh and Gl-r.gow railway (the distloce — between Edinburgh and Glasgow being diminishordThy this line by several miles;) —and to the priblie(a speedier and cheaper transit between the two,cifies than at present exists. W.th the- - news, the Directors in tire course of last summer steps towards a survey of the line between their ranton terminus and Winchburgh; and they have directed the necessary Parli , mentary notices to be given for proceeding with their Bill for this extension next session. The line will be of easy constriction, and will not cost more than £200,000, which the directors propose to divide into 10,000 Shins of £2O each, applications for which may be made to Mr. Robert Allan, , harebroker, St. Andrew's-square, Elinburgli ; Mr. Cunningname Illirthwtek, 51, Sr. Vincent-street, Gla.gow ; or to \lr.

THE object,ceihis Railway is to afford the means of direct,ralway communication between Edinburgh and thvtliwns of Portobello, Fisherrow, and Mussel biir-41.1. It is intended to commence at a point at the head of Leith Walk. at one time selected as the terminus of the North British Line, proceedinz by Restalrig to Porto bello, and from thence by Jeppa and Fisherrow to Mus selburgh. The present line of the North British Railway, the sole proposed means of coromunii ation along this route, is both extremely circuitous, and otherwise quite inadequate to supply the inhabitants of the populous towns and vil lages in question with that direct, convenient, and speedy transit which the improved notions of the times entitle them to expect and demand. At Portobello the North British Railway passes con siderably to the south of the town ; the villages of Res talrig and Joppa ate not accommodated at all, while Fisherrow and Musselburgh are placed at least a mile from the s , ation. The line now proposed affords the best and shortest means of communication between Musselburgh and Edin burgh,' while the intermediate towns and villages will be accommodated by its passing through, instead of being m k ee p n t ti a o t n a ed d , is t t h a i n s c l e in f e ro w m ili th st e i n n i . ; iy a a n n d, ae i e n otn so m m o e d o a f tio th n e w c h a i s e e h s at present is not afforded at all. The immense passenger traffic on this line is a matter of notoriety to every inhabitant of Edinburgh and its vicinity, and that it will be used in preference to the North British, there cannce be a doubt, inasmuch as passengers, whether on pleasure or business, invariably prefer those means of communication which are close at hand, and direct to such as are at a distance and cir cuitous. The commit tee have further had their attention directed to the great advantages likely to be derived from the formation of a branch to connect with the proposed Tyne Valley Junction Railway. which would likewise secure for this line the whole direct traffic to and from Had diugton. The survey has been to a great Wert completed, and estimates of the expenditure , traffic. and returns are in preparation. There is not an engineering difficulty in any part of the line, and the greatest portion of it can be constructed at a moderate expense. It may be further stated, that it is in the contemplation of the promoters to afford facilities for supplying the town of Portobello with water, by laying down pipes along the line ; an accommo dation which the inhabitants of that district will duly appreciate. Powers will be taken, in the Act of Parliament, to al low interest at the rate of four per cent. on the deposits, and preterence in the allotments of shares will be given to the proprietors of the land through which the line is a l e in di e does not pay to pass.
