This line will cc:rnmebee near city ;Oporto, and continuing

through Lamego, will traverse the very heart of the great Wine dis-
trict of Portugal to Torre de Moncervo, within a few miles of the
Spanish frontier. •
The manifest advantages of this line render comment•almost un-
necessary. Preliminary surveys have established the I'a4t that' there
are no engineering difficulties of importance to overcome, and the
traffic of the country is even now so great, that no reasonable doubt
can exist as to the lucrative nature of this investment. • .

The improved state of-affains in the Peninsula will eventually ensure
the extension of this line to the ancient and populous city. of Sala-
manca, and the very heart of fipain. It is difficult to estimate the.
beneficial results, of the completion of- such a line. An Immense dis-
trict of the most fertile country in Europe will be brought Into imme-
diate contiguity with the sea-coast, and theme, by consequence, with
England and all the maritime nations of the world.
The Provisional Committee avail themselves of the earliest possible
opportunity to apprise the public that such legal measures will be,
adopted, as must afford the Subscribers to this Company ample pro-
tection.

In consequence of the negotiation now pending, the Prospectuses
are unavoidably (Iclayed a few days.

The promoters of this Railway have great- satisfaction in an-
nouncing that they have received a favourable report *dm Alexander
Gilds, Esq.,' civil engineer, Aberdeen. The undertaking is now proved
to be practicable ; and it will very soon be shoWn that it will be profit-
able—because, as this line is the shortest to all the:Northern Coun-
ties, not excepting Inverness, it will obtain, to a great extent, the
traffic between these counties and the south. The superiority of
thisline, as publicly announced on the 25th ult., is indeed already
partially ,demonstrated by several snbsequent attempts, to appro-
priate some portion of it. The noblemen and gentlemen, more im-
mediately interested in-0 The Direct Northern Railway," ;vitt -no

neer, and take every precaution to ascertain the probable traffic be.
fore presuming to issue any detailed prospectus;

" This Railway is projected to continue the line ,of communication
from the terminus of the proposed Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and
Midlands Junction Railway at Amber-gate to Nottingham ; which by a
junction at Nottingham with one of the proposed- Eastern lines will
complete the nearest and most direct route from Nottingham and the
Eastern Counties to Manchester, Liverpool, and Holyhead, and by a
junction with the Midlands Railway, in the.parish of Sawley,.by the
Erewash Valley, the nearest route from Lancashire and Yorkshire to
the South. .

The town and environs of Nottingham contain a population of up-
words of 100,000 persons, extensively employed in the cotton, silk
and lace manufacture, and.this line, by its connexion with the pro-
posed Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midlands Junction Railway,
will reduce the distance upwards of seventy miles from that important
district to Manchester and Liverpool, as, compared with existing
routes; and the same advantage will also be derived by the towns of
Leicester and Loughborough.

Independently of the great traffic which, as part of the main trunk
line from the agricultural districts of Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire,
Norfolk, and Suffolk, to the- manufacturing, districts •of Lancashire
and Chesldre, it will pass through it very poptilous; Manufacturing,
and rich mineral district, the local traffic from which will alone re-
turn a fair remuneration for-the capital invested.
It will also pass through the extensive Nottinghamshire and Derby-
shire coal-field; and by its• junction WO the Midlands Railway, at
Amber-gate, and its c >ntiguity to the limestone and gritstone quarries
of Derbyshire,. afford an unlimited quantity of Coal, lime, and building
stone to a large district at present only partially and expensively sup-
plied with those important :products.. • •
In addition to the income to be thus derived from the local,
mineral, and passenger traffic,. a large revenue will accrue from
the line, considerably cheapening the transit of cattle, corn, and other
produce of the Eastern Agricultural COunties, and also of cotton, silk,
and Other raw materials, now brought by a circuitous, dilatory, and
expensive route, from Liverpool. and Manchester, to- be used in the
staple tradeC of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, and Leicestershire,'
and the'transmission of valuable.manufactured goods to Liverpool for
exportation. '
The railway will provide-an • easy and cheap access from Notting-
ham and the eastern part of England to. Matlock, Buxton, Bakewell,
Chatsworth, and Haddon, and the romantic scenery of the Peak, and,
by opening objects so rich in their attraction, will beyond doubt conf'-
mand a large proportion of that pleasureStravelling public by which
existing lines have so much benefited.
The Proprietors of the canals in the-district through which the line.
will traverse,.it is confidently• believed, Will 'amalgamate their inte-
rests upon such equitable terms as will icioVe:adviuttageotis to the
Shareholders in this Company. _ • . .

A preliminary survey of the country has Veen niade, and it has
been ascertained that the gradients are remarkably good, and the
cost of construction not expensive.
