which the Great Eastern and Western Railway Company has re-
sponded to the appeal addressed to them, in a memorial signed by
the most influential, landed proprietors and others interested in this
locality, by affording their prompt and zealous aid in forming and
supporting a line of railway from Leominster by this town to unite
with the Great Eastern and Western Railway near the city oi Wor-
cester, but for which prompt response and aid this locality would
havo been deprived of all direct railway communication, the Welsh
Midland Company having, though memorialised, abandoned it, and
the Great Western Company having declined to include it in any of
their schemes ; and that the warmest thanks of this meeting be con-
veyed, through the Chairman, to the Great Eastern and Western
Railway Company for the valuable accommodation which the pro-
posed Worcester and Leominster Railway is calculated to afford to
the town and district of Bromyard.

SOLICITOR{.
litr. Wiliam Barker I New-street, Huddersfield.
Messrs. Brook and Freeman

The object of this undertaking is to form a continuous line of rail-
way from Leeds to Liverpool, by extending the lines already made,
or sanctioned by Parliament, from their respective termini at Hud-
dersfield, in Yorkshire, and Bury, for which extension a line of rail-
way only 25 miles in length is requisite. The proposed line will com-
mence at the Huddersfield station, between which place and Leeds.
Parliament has already sanctioned the formation of railways, and
from Huddersfield the proposed line will proceed by way of Hillhouse'
Eirchencliffe, and Lindley, and thence along the valley between
Stainland and Greet'and, through Bark'sland, the Vale of Ripponden,
and by Rochdale to Bury, in Lancashire, where it will join the ter-
minus of the Liverpool and Bury line of railway.
In addition to completing a direct communication from Liverpool
to Leeds, Hull, and Goole, by the shortest practicable route, and by
a much smeller outlay of capital, than by any other proposed line, it
will provide for a large and important manufacturing population,
hitherto without the advantage of railway accommodation, an outlet
to the south by means of the Huddersfield and Sheffield Junction
Railway, and to Manchester and to North and South Lancashire by
the railways above mentioned, and by the Leeds and Manchester
Railway, by a proposed junction therewith at Rochdale.
This line, when completed, will, in addition to the advantages
which it presents as a through line, pass through a succession of val-
leys thickly studded with mills and manufactories, consuming a
large quantity of raw materials and coal, all of which are brought
irons a distance, and transmitting to other districts the prodnce of
their industry, for which purposes a line of railway has become ab-
solutely necessary, and there can be no doubt that an ample return
will be realised for the outlay of capital required.
The distance between Huddersfield and Rochdale by the present
line of railway is thirty miles, which by the proposed railway will be
reduced to seventeen miles.
The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the right of enter-
ing into any arrangements with existing railway companies that may
appear desirable. And power will be taken by the Act of Parliament
to allow interest to the shareholders at the rate of 41. per cont. per
annum on the amounts paid on their shares from the respective times
of payment to the times of opening the railway.
Applications for shares may be addressed, in the subjoined form, to
any of the undermentioned Rharebrokers, viz.—Messrs. Hill, Fawcett
and Hill, Threadneedle-street, London ; Mr. David Kinnear, Edin-
burgh ; Messrs. W. Moore and Co., Messrs. J. Gatllff and Co.,

The names of a highly-respectable and influential Provisional Com-
mittee will be published in a few days.

This railway will connect the east and west coasts, and form a
direct route from the ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood-on-Wyre, and
Lancaster, to Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Commencing at Lancaster, it
will proceed up the valley of the Lune, by Kirkby Lonsdale, Sedbergh,
and Kirkby Stephen. and thence by the most practicable line to New-
castle. It will run nearly parallel with the *id coach road, which
has hitherto been the principal passenger route from Lancaster to
Newcastle.
It will readily be conceded that great benefits will flow from a
direct railway communication between the coal-fields and mining
districts of Durham and Northumberland, and the important towns
and ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood, Newcastle, Raft Lancaster.
The entire lengtO. of the line is rich in mineral productions—coal,
slate, limestone, ma.-ble, and ether elements of a great local traffic
abound, and cannot to make this one of the most remunerative
projects of the day. A considerable saving of distance between the
important towns on the termini is effected over any existing or pro-
jectedscheme.
It will be reserved to the Committee of Management to make such
alterations in the line, or the a mount of capital required, or other-
wise, as may be deemed most advantageous to the interests c. itbe
Company. Power will be app.:led for to allow interest at the rate
of four per cent. on the calls from the passing of the Act to the
opening of the line, as well as to limit the liability of the shareholders
to the amount of their subscriptiOns only.

The first object of this line is to connect the town of Ilinningham
Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route
and to supply am important link of communication between the town
of Spalding and the eastern coast, and the western and midland
districts.
Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereham,
Lynn, and Bolbeack Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn,
Witham, Castle Bytham, South Wytham, and Wymondham, to a
point on the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near Melton-
Mowbray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mld•
land Counties Railway, an almost direct route to Leicester, and
thence to Coventry and Birmingham by the proposed Coventry,
Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway.
The projected line will fonn the most direct communication be-
tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, aid will, by
means of the proposed lines across the county of Leicester, via Bur-
ton-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincoln, Norfolk,
Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by many miles
than any other line of railway.
It will form, with other projected railways, an almost direct line
across the kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, on the east, to
Aberystwith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the west.
The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. There is no tunnel-
ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary; the line
from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve miles, is very
' level, and may be constructed at a small cost.
It will secure the advantages of railway commanication to a tract
of country at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open-
ing out sources of trade undeveloped for want of the means of transit.
The central midland districts have felt greatly the want of direct
communication with the coast; and this line will at once supply the
deficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire.
It will afford a transit for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei-
cesterehire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon
supply from the north at high prices: it will also secure the advan-
tages of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershire works,
to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, which are at present only
supplied at very high rates; and, in return traffic, the midland dis-
tricts will obtain the advantage of a direct transit An' the stock and
agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk.
Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which Is
the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, and
connected by the River Welland with the German Ocean.
The proposed capital will be sufficient for the construction of the
necessary works and every subsequent expense ; and the income
derivable from the traffic in passengers between Birmingham, Co-
ventry, Leicester, Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Boston, the trans-
port of corn, cattle, and other produce of the great agricultural
districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming
districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland
districts, will he sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay.
The Parliamentary surveys have been commenced, and are now
In active progress, and contracts have been metered into which en-
sure sufficient time for compliance with the standing orders.
Forms of application for shares, plans, and prospectuses may be
had of the Solicitors ; also at the offices of the Company, 4, Tra-

The Commtttees of Direction of these undertakings have great
satisfaction in acquainting the Shareholders, that they have made
arrangements for the lease in perpetuity of both railways, as soon
as they shall have received the sanction of Parliament to the
Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne, and Manchester Railway Company,
at an annual rent of 5 per cent. on the cost of the lines, such rent
to become and remain 534 per cent. as soon as the net profits
realise that return ; and the further profits to be equally divided
between both parties.
The Directors confidently anticipate the certainty of the success
of both projects in Parliament, in consequence of the unusually,
powerful local support which the undertakings have already ob-
tained, and the great assistance from other influential parties,
which the above arrangement with a company already incorporated
has secured, following out, as it does fhlly, the suggestions of the
Board of Trade in connexion with the legitimate extensions east-
ward of the Sheffield, Ashton•under-Lyne, and Manchester Railway.

This line has been projected for the purpose of forming the most
direct communication between Birmingham and the Midland Coun-
ties, and the important and rising port of Aberystwith and the sea-
coast of Wales.
It is intended to commence at the junction of the Welch Midland
and Stour Valley Railways (both of which have projected limes to
Birmingham), between Kidderminster and Bewdley, and proceed from
thence through Cleobnry Mortimer to Ludlow, where it will form •
junction with the Worcester and Portdyallaen and Bridgnorth,
Ludlow, and Wolverhampton Railways. From adlow it will follow
the line of the present mail road, along the Valley of the Teme to
Knighton, from which place it is intended to throw off a branch to
the Craven Arms, to run into the Shropshire Mineral Railway, which
has its terminus at that place. The line twill proceed from
Knighton to Llanidloes, where it will join the projected Manchester
and Aberystwith Railway, and proceed along that line for the re-
mainder of the distance. The use of all projected lines being thus
sought for, the part to be made will not exceed sixty miles ; and as
surveyors are already upon the line, the plans, &e., will all be ready
to go to Parliament in the ensuing session.
The advantages of the present line over any other projected rail-
way between Birmingham and Aberystwith are :—That it is the
most direct route between the respective termini; that it passes
through a district at present unprovided with railway accommoda-
tion ; that by it and the Birmingham, Stamford, and Boston lines, a
regular chain of railway communication is opened between St.
George's Channel and the German Ocean; and by the Great
Eastern and Western line a communication is also opened with
Yarmouth, Norwich, and King's Lynn ; that it will open the slate
mines of Cardiganshire, and the limestone of Radnorshire to Shrop-
shire, and the whole of the midland counties ; while, on the ether
hand, by the branch from the Craven Arms, the coals of Shropshire
will be brought into Radnorshire, Montgomeryshire, and Cardigan-
shire, where that article does not exist, at little more than ens-third
of its present cost. From these and other sources of traffic it must
be obvious that a high rate of interest upon the capital embarked
may be depended upon.
The line throughout the whole distance meets with the most influ-
ential local support, so as to ensure its complete success.
There are no engineering difficulties of any magnitude, and no
ornamental property will be invaded. Should the atmospheric pinci-
ple be fully tested and be found to answer, it will be adopted on this
line.
The responsibility of the shareholders will be limited to the amount
of their subscriptions, and power,,will be taken in the Act to allow in-
terest at four per cent. on the calls. The Committee reserve the
usual power to amalgamate with any other existing Company or
Companies, to limit or vary the line, as to them shall seem most
expedient, in order to carry out the objects of the Company,
Prospectuses, with maps and forms of application for shares, may
be had from the Secretary, at the Office of the Company, 163, Yen_

The chief objects of this Company are to carry into effect a condi-
tional arrangement entered into with Mons. Hallette for the purchase
' of his patent for all Europe, and to sell licenses to use it.
The promoters confidently believe that the atmospheric system of
Mons. Hallette is the most perfect and economical that has been in-
vented for propulsion en railways and canals, and in this opinion
they are supported by that of many eminent men of science and ex-
perienced engineers.
By the arrangement entered into with the inventor, the deposit
will be more than will be required. until a contract to use the
patent on a railway has been actually signed, and under any cir-
cumstances it is believed that 41. per share will be ample to carry out
fully the objects of the Company. The risk, therefore, will be small,
whilst the profit by sale of licenses, &c., in the event of the superiority
of the invention being acknowledged, must be immense.

The Belgian Grand Junction Railway will commence at the several
points of Tirlemont and Landen towards the north, and Huy, Namur,
Gosselies, and Chatelineau (Charleroi) on the south, and will directly
connect the provinces of Brabant, Hainault, Liege, Limburg, and
Namur with each other, and the Government lines of railway, as
also with the several lines of Liege and Namur, Landen and Hassell,
Louvain and Jemeppe, Sambre and Meuse, and by the Great Luxem-
bourg.
The provincei which the railway will unite were found by the
census of 1844 to comprise a population of 2,188,551, and the dis-
tricts which it will traverse are situated in the heart of Belgium, and
corn prise an area of 165 square miles. The entire length of the Bel-
gian Grand Junction Railway will be 102 English miles, and the in-
variable rule of the Belgian Government not to permit any competing
lines, must necessarily ensure to this Company the entire traffic of
the country through which this line will pass.
This portion of the country is emphatically termed the Granary of
Belgium, and, in addition to its vast agricultural produce, is rich in
ironstone, lead, marble, stone, and slate quarries. It has also nume-
rous distilleries, extensive breweries, ironworks, and large manufac-
tories of porcelain, glass, paper, beetroot sugar, gunpowder, &.c.
The great coal-fields of Charleroi and Liege, which are the most ex-
tensive in Belgium, will, by means of this line, be enabled to supply
all parts of the kingdom at a very reduced rate.
A considerable saving will be effected in the cost of iron, and of
the locomotive engines and traffic material, which will be manufac-
tured at the Couvin works ceded to this Company.

The attention of the public and of the civic authorities of this
great metropolis, through the powerful medium of the public press,
has upon several occasions been excited by the detail of numerous
and almost daily occurring accidents on the river Thames. With a
view to abate, if not altogether remove an evil of enormously grow-
ing magnitude, the dangerous navigation of the river, the present
project is put before the public.
Although the chief cause of this danger is acknowledged to be the
blocking up the navigation, by the numberless tiers of colliers and
their attendant barges, and their ingress and egress to and from their
station, still no efficient remedy has been hitherto proposed.
It is admitted by all that the only mode by which this great and
dangerous nuisance can be removed is by a dock, at a considerable
distance from the Pool, and a suitable and most convenient site has
been selected, in every way adapted for the object contemplated ;
and which not only combines facilities, in no ordinary degree, for
coal and coasting vessels to enter at all times of the tide, at a dis-
tance far removed from the Pool (about three miles below Woolwich),
but also at a locality, by the aid of a railway, from which the various
produce may be transmitted within half an hour into the very heart
of the City.
It is proposed to construct a dock at a point in that part of the
river, four and half miles below Blackwell, called Gallion's Reach,
and thence to carry a railway four miles long through East Ham.
Plaistow, and West Ham, to the Eastern Counties Railway at Strat-
ford, where it will join the Northern and Eastern Railway, and form
a central point from which goods may be transmitted to the various
parts of the country which those railways traverse, and to London.
The spot at which the dock and works will be constructed has been
selected as being a part of the river where at the lowest state of the
tide there will always be a sufficiency of water to permit the ingress
and egress of vessels, as a reference to the Admiralty charts will de-
monstrate ; by this arrangement they will be enabled to discharge
their cargoes, leave dock, and take in ballast (which is in the imme-
diate vicinity where the Trinity House dredge is generally working),
almost before they could have even reached their ordinary station in
the Pool, as at present. The great saving in time thus effected, it
is manifest, will be of the utmost consequence and advantage to the
Owners of these vessels ; and by materially decreasing the cost,
would enable them to supply the consumer at 0. much less rate than
at present.
It is intended also to erect a sea-wall and wharf, 1,500 feet long
for the accommodation of passengers by steam-packets and other
vessels passing to and fro. The economy of time thus effected will
be very considerable; for by the aid of this railway (bringing Shore-
ditch and the intended terminus at Finsbury within twenty minutes)
nearly three-quarters of an hour ,will be saved over every other
mode of conveyance.
It is moreover to be remarked that from this spot Gravesend can
be reached in forty minutes, consequently the time consumed, from
Finsbury to Gravesend by this route, would be about one hour.
As the Eastern Counties Railway will be united to all the other
great trunk lines, by means of the northern and southern connecting
line just projected, it may be justly said that the Steam-Packet
Wharf now proposed will be the only metropolitan Continental ter-
minus.
By the construction of this railway, with its very important ad-
junct, a coal and coasting dock, a most valuable addition will be
made to the Eastern Counties revenue by calling into existence a
traffic which, tinder any other circumstances, could not be created;
thereby developing to the proprietors of that extensive line that its
capabilities have hitherto lain dormant, and only required the neces-
sary extension to the Thames with a dock to secure to it a national
depot for produce for all parts of the globe to be disseminated
through the numerous and increasing extensions of the parent line.
The carriage of coal alone would add no insignificant sum to the
hitherto declared dividends of the Eastern Counties, when it is con-
sidered that more than two and a half millions of tons are annualy
imported into the port of London, which amount would be greatly
increased by means of the facility pf railway transmission thus
afforded.
It may be proper to remark that it would be difficult to find, so
near the metropolis, a four miles course in every sense so eligible
for a railway, so free from obstruction, and so cheap of construction,
that the coal traffic of itself would yield an ample return for the
outlay.
