As to the traffic on the lower portion Of the line, it is evident that

Rotherham, Sept. 13, 1845.

Recurring to the features of this project as a national work, one of
the greatest in point of magnitude, of vital importance in the event of
war, and of almost incalculable advantage to the general and packet
commerce of the kingdom ; it :may not be out of place to quote here
the following expressions of Mir Robert Peel. Speaking of the project
of a direct line from London to Liverpool through the Trent Valley,
which bore much the same relation to the Birmingham and Grand
Junction that this bears to the Great Western and Bristol and Exeter
Railways, he is reported to have said :—" I consider that the com-
munication between the metropolis and the great outports to be not
a question of hours, but a question of minutes." Of the necessity of this
particular line, Parliament has already expressed an opinion ; for in the
report of the Co.mmittee on the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth
line; Which was promoted by the Great Western Railway Company,
It was stated that that Company had been required to pledge itself
not hereafter to oppose a direct line to Falmouth ; and it may be
further observed, that a proposed line from Plymouth to Falmouth
Was last Session rejected, on the ground that it might be supposed
to interfere with that great national object.
The survey of the line has been to a great extent completed, and
correct estimates of the expenditure and returns are in a state of for-
wardness, and the whole will be ready for the next session of Par-
liament.

It Is sufficient, as to these points, here to state that there are no
engineering difficulties in any part of the line which have not been
repeatedly surmounted in other cases ; that the first portion will be
constructed at an unusually small expense ; that the undertaking
will meet with the cordial support, concurrence, and co-operation of
the landowners, and that the Directors arg justified in asserting that
this will prove to be one of the most remunerative railways in the
kingdont.

Powers will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at
our pounds per centum per annum cri the deposits, sad preference
in the allotment of shares will be given to the proprietors of the land
through which the line will pass, and to the shareholders in the
Great Western, the Bristol and Exeter, and other railways connected
with the Direct Western district.
Applications for shares, in the form subjoined, to be addressed to
the solicitors to the Company or to the Secretary.

The line of Railway intended to be constructed by this Company
will commence at or near Norton Bridge (a station of the Gran.
Junction Railway), in the county of Stafford, and proceed from.
thence by Eccleshall, Offley, Norbury, Forton, Newport, Donnington
Wood, Oaken Gates, Priors Lee, Stirchley, Bewley, Madeley, and
Iron Bridge, to Coalbrook-dale ; there, crossing the proposed " Wor-
cester and Crewe Railway," it will pass along the slope of Wenlock-
edge, by Bushbury and Eaton-under-Ilayvrood, to Wistanstow, in
the county of Salop, where It will run into, and form a junction with
the " Shrewsbury, Hereford, and North Wales Railway."
The line will traverse a rich mineral district; and will have a secure
and extensive traffic by the carriage of coal from the Shropshire
coal-field, to a depot proposed to be formed at Wistanstow, for the
supply of South Shropshire, part of Radnorshire and Herefordshire,
and also from whence it will be conveyed by the "Hereford, Shrews-
bury, and North Wales Railway," into Montgomeryshire and the
neighbouring counties, 'where coal does not exist. It is impossible to
calculate the extent to which this traffic may be carried, as by the
direct railway communication thus opened between the Shropshire
coal-Held, and the important manufacturing towns of Newtown
and Llaniclloes, the price per ton will he reduced one-half at
those places, and the flannel manufacturers, now depend-
ing upon water power, will, by the cheapness of coal, be
enabled to employ steam, and to extend their trade in proportion to
. . . _

the great demand which exists for the Welsh flannels, in preference
to any other. The importance of this subject will hare its due weight
with those who so often witness the bad effects upon the trade, caused
by the stoppage of the mills from an insufficiency of water.

A considerable amount of tonnage is now incurred by the Shrop-
shire ironmasters,f or the conveyance of lime-stone from the neigh-
bourhood of Much Wenlock to the furnaces, by several transits of
land and water carriage, whereas the proposed railway will convey
it direct into the heart of the works, and at one-third of the expense.
By its junction, with the " Grand Junction" and the " Hereford
and Shrewsbury" Railways, this line will form a direct communica-
tion between Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, Tork and Hull, and
Swansea and South Wales.
As a Junction line alone (connecting as it will inch important rail-
ways), a large Passenger traffic may be depended upon, but when it
is considered that the centre of the line passes through a densely
populated mining district, and the remainder through a thriving
agricultural neighbourhood, it will be obvious that a sufficient load
traffic exists to pay a highly remunerative interest on the amount of
capital required to be embarked.

The line, which will not interfere with any property of an orna
mental or costly character, will not exceed 46 miles in length, aad
will be constructed at much less than the average cost.
_ _

Such important local co-operation has been secured, that no oppo-
sition is anticipated or can be sustained against the raeasurs.

The liability of the Shareholders wli: be limited, by the Act, to the
amount of their subscription to the capital stock ; and power will be
applied for to allow interest at the rate of four per cent per annul*
ou the amount of the deposit, and upon the farther calls, from the
date of each payment until the opening of the line ; and the first
deposit being paid, a further call will not be nude until the Act •
Parliament shall have been obtained.

This line will commence at or near the Wigston station
of the Midland Counties Railway, will pass by or near
the manufacturing localities of Narborough, Sapcote, Earl
Shilton, ilerhage, and Hinckley, through a district most favourable
for engineering purposes, to a junction with the Trent Valley at Nun-
eaton, thence it continues nearly due west to the Whitacre station of
the Birmingham and Deity Railway, and south-west by Itedivorth
to the Coventry station of the London and Birmingham Company.
The line will communicate with the Swanaington Railway either by
means of the proposed Broughton Astley branch of the Midlands, or
of a separate branch to be formed by this Company ; thereby opening
the entire of the Leicestershire coal-deld to the comities south-east
K Leicester.

The Directors, for the last few months, having used their best
exertions for the interests of the Company, feel it their duty, now
that the surveys, plans, and other arrangements are sorer advanced,
to acquaint their shareholders with the position and prospects of the
undertaking.

The Coventry, Bedworth, and Nuneaton line, which received the
favourable report of the Board of Trade, and was before Parliament
last session, forms part of the present projected plan for connecting
Leicester, Coventry, and Birmingham.
The Directors have, by personal inspection, accompanied by their
engineer, satisfied themselves of the remarkable facilities presented
by the district for executing the greater part of the line ; and from
careful investigation the Directors have the pleasure of Informing the
Shareholders that this undertaking cannot fall to prove a profitable
investment if supported by local traffic only, and with the certainty
that a through traffic from the eastern and western lines, combined
with the great advantages afforded by the junction with the Trent
Valley for the transit of goods to and from Liverpool, Scotlaid, Ire-
land,•and the United States, its importance cannot be over estimated.
From the extent of population accommodated by this railway
—from the convenience afforded to the trade and manufactures of
the Midland Counties—from the vast mineral resources of the dis-
tricts traversed, and from its position in regard to other important,
established, and projected railways, the Directors feel confident that
it will be amply remunerative to the Shareholder, and highly advert-
tegeous to the public.
The capital has been subscribed, and the Parliamentary deeds have
been executed, and the preliminary survey completed.
'A list of a new and highly influential local direction, and a map of
the line, will be published in a few days.

This CoMpany has been formed for the purpose of constructing a
railway from London to Maidstone, and from thence to Ashford,
joining there the South-Eastern Railway to Folkestone, Dover, and
Canterbury, and a branch railway from Ightham, near -tevenoaks, to
Tunbridge.
The main line is intended to commence by a junction with the
London and Croydon Railway, near New Cross, passing through
Lewisham to Bromley, from thence through Otford, near Sevenoaks,
Ightham, Town Mailing, East Mallin7, arid Ditton, to the town of
Maidstone; having a principal station there near Week-street, in
front of the Sessions-house and county gaol, from thence passing
through Ilollingbourne, Ilarkietsham, Lenham, and Charng, to
Ashford. .

The line• to Tunbridge will branch from Ightham, awl take the
course of the valley by West Peckham and Hadlow to Tunbridge,
communicating with the South-Eastern Railway from Tunbridge to
Tunbridge Wells.
The whole length of the lines to be constructed will be sixty-four
miles.

The country has been carefully surveyed, and, with the exception
of a tunnel through the Chalk-hill, near Otford, the works are not
of an expensive character, and the lines are frwe from curves or gra-
dients of an objectionable nature.
The line will be laid down so as to be adapted to the locomotive or
atmospheric principle, which ever mode of propulsion it may ulti-
mately be found most advisable to adopt.
By reference to the map of Kent it will be perceived that the lines
of the proposed railway are those indicated by the natural features
of the country ; that such railways are calculated to effect in the
most advantageous manner the great objects of direct " through"

communication between London and:Folkestone and Dover, and be-
tween London and Tunbridge and Tunbridge Wells, taking the nearest
pr cticable line to Bromley, Sevenoaks, Maidstone, Lenham, and
F Ashford, and by a comparatively trifling expense in forming a short
I branch from Westwell, to join the present railway from Ashford to
• Canterbury, .at Wye, placing the city of Canterbury, and the whole
of the district communicating with that city, within a few miles In
distance and a few minutes in time as near to London as could be
effected by the outlay of a vast sum in the construction of a separate
railway to Canterbury, affording also the means of railway commu-
nication between Canterbury and Maidstone (the county towns of
East and West Kent), and the other principal towns, and generally
throughout the county.
In further explanation of the merits of the proposed lines, it m.iy
be noticed that Maidstone, the county town of Kent, is situate in
the centre of the county, on the river Medway, contains the county
gaol, courts of justice, cavalry depot, and various other public este-
blishments ; that the assizes and sessions are held at Maidstone, and
that the county business generally is there conducted ; that by means
of the central situation of Maidstone, and the advantages of the navi-
gation of the river, a very large wholesale business is carried on
there ; .that the town and immediate vicinity contain numerous and
extensive paper manufactories, mills, breweries, iron founderies, and
other works, and that the district surrounding Maidstone comprises
the most extensive hop and fruit plantations in Kent.
The necessity for the construction of new lines of railway for the
purpose of reducing the distance between London and Folkestone '
and Dover, and between London and Maidstone, has been fully
admitted ; and the want of railway communication between Bromley,
Sevenoaks, Wrotham, and other principal places in the centre of the
county, not only with London, but with the city of Canterbury and
Maidstone, has been of serious injury to a very large portion of the
county. And it has been thought most advisable for the interests of
the county and the public, that a: measure of such local as
as well.as general importance should be undertaken by a Company
formed for the express purpose of carrying out the project ; uninflu-
enced by any conflicting interests, and connected with, and as far as
practicable identified with, the county. It has also been considered
advisable that this measure should be supported entirely upon its own
merits, without attempting to engross the traffic of the northern side
of the county, or to oppose the construction of any railways which
that portion of the county may consider necessary for their accom-
modation. Under this impression, several gentlemen, resident in and
near Maidstone, have, with the general sanction and support of the
landed pro:aletora interested in the measure, and of the inhabitants
of Maidstone united with an influential body of capitalists in the
formation of this Company, with the full intention of carrying out
the project as a measure for the benefit of the county and the public,
feeling confident that the 'very great traffic which this railway must
necessarily command will enable the proprietors' to provide every
accommodation the public can require at a very moderate charge,
and will also afford a very liberal remuneration fur the amount of
capital to be invested in the undertaking.
The Provisional Committee have no reason to anticipate any effec-
tual opposition to a measure so obviously beneficial, and so generally
and powerfully supported by those best qualified to form as opinion
of its merits, and most interested in carrying it into effect.
The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow
interest at 4 per cent. per anuum on the deposit, as well as upon all
future calls, from the date of the passing of the Act until the opening
of the railway, and no shareholder will be liable beyond the amount
of his subscription.
Applications for shares to be made in the usual form, to the Secre-
tary,-at the Company's office; No. 1, Coleman-street-buildings, Moor-
gate-street, London ; to the Solicitors ; or to the following Stock and
Sharebrokers :—Mr. John Wagg, 4, Shorter's-court, Thrognaorton-

The length of the main line will be about forty-three miles ; that
of the branch from Newberry to Frome, four miles seven furlongs.
The line has been careihily laid down after accurate investiga-
tions, and It presents no engineering difficulties whatsoever. There
will he no tunnel or viaduct, or other costly work, and there will be
no heavy cuttings or embankments. The line passes through a fer-
tile, rich, and populous district, and serves all the principal towns in
the county of Somerset, and brings them into connexion with all the
regions traversed by the Great Western and the Bristol and Exeter
Railways, and with the metropolis. It is so obvious that this Grand
Junction Railway must command an immense traffic in passengers
goods, and minerals, that it would he idle to dilate on the subjec
