This Important lino, commencing at the terminus oftutrhheigMtston,cvlitieosi
ter and Sheffield Railway,
Sheffield, will proceed. in ain
directpo by
Hope,
/fathers:we, twoleton, Chapel-en-lc-Frith, and Whaley (the great
canal-port of the Potteries), to the terminus of the Manchester and
Niacciesticid Railway, at Macclesfield, the total Ivngth of the line
being nearly thirty milos.
The importance of connecting these termini would, aim; be
sufll-
cient to ensure full support to the present undertaking, from the
dense population, manufacturing influence, and general traffic of the
towns In question ; but when It Is considered that this connexion, or
Junction, stands in the very centre of the entire railway system of
England, and that it will complete the chain of railway commu ni
cation and transit between the river Humber, the towns of Sheffield
and Mace:esfield, the Staffordshire Potteries, the Salt Wiches of
Cheshire, the city of Chester, the docks of Liverpool anti Birkenhead,
Bangor Ferry, and the harbour of Holyhead, the advantages are too
manifest to be for a moment questioned.
The surveys are now in progress, and will be completed without
delay, in order to go to Parliament'
at the ensuing session.
In the aHotinent of shares, the applications from parties resident
on the line will be preferred.

The shareholders of the South Midland Railway Company are in-
formed that arrangements have been mile by the Committee of
Management with the Board of Directors of the Midland Railway
Company for carrying out the original South Midland line with the
important additions of a line to Bedford and a branch to Huntingdon,
the whole being consolidated in one undertaking, and placed under
the management of a joint Board of Direction composed of members
of the Boards of the two Companies.
The objects, therefore, embraced by the present undertaking aro—
I. A direct line from Leicester by way of Market Harborough to
Northampton, being . he original South Midland
2. A line diverging therefrom at Market Harborough, and passing by way of Kettering to Bedford ; and
3. A branch from the last-mentioned line, at or near Bettering, to
Huntingdon.
The capital at present belonging to the South Midland Company
will form a portion of the consolidated capital (the remainder being
contributed by the Midland Railway Company), and in order to com-
ply with the Standing Orders of the House of Lords, as recently
altered, it is necessary that the deposit of 11. 2s. already paid on the
South Midland shares should be increased to 21. 2s. It is also neces-
sary that the scrip should be called in and re-issued, and new Parlia-
mentary deeds executed.

The shareholders in the South Midland Company are therefore re-
quired to pay, on or before the 25th day of October next, the further
sum of 1/. per share on the shares respectively held by them, and for
this purpose to deposit with the Secretary, at the Company's ollises.
Leicester, the scrip now held by them, together with an application

increased deposit will be issued within three days after the registry
of the ccrip, and on the production of the bankers' receipt and the
execution of the new Parliamentary contract, the new scrip cer-
tificates will be issued.
. _

All scrip in respect of which the shareholders shall fail to tae the
neeessary steps for payment of the required deposit within the
specified period will be forfeited.

Forms of application for registry and exchange of scrip may be ob-
tained by applying to the Secretary, at the Company's offices.

ENGINEER.

This Railway Is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda
and Ely Verne; with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles dis-
times from the Port of Cardiff; and to open a new mineral district.
ono of the richest and most important in South Wales, which is at
present without the means of transit for Its Immense and valuable
products.

It will pass through the central portion of the great coal-field of
Glamorganshire, where iron-stone also abounds with the coal in'im-
mense quantities, and laying, geologically speaking, nearly flat, and,
obtainable, for the most part, by proper levels. The coal in addition
to its being of excellent quality for iron making, as is proved at Mer-
thyr and Aberdeen, is also, like that of those districts, of the very
best description for steam purposes, being nearly smokeless, although
Inflammable, indeed so pre-eminently is the superiority of this de-
scription of coal established for steam purposes over any other,
that the demand for it tar exceeds the supply, and promises, accord-
ing to the opinion of the most eminent marine engineers, to super-
sede all others for purposes of steam navigation. This source of
truffle alone will afford a handsome return for the capital invested,
as has been demonstrated in every lnstanee where even traM-roads or
canals have been constructed to open the mineral resources of other
less promising vallies in Wales than the Rhondda, whieb is cele-
brated for the abundance, quality, and facility of obtaining its pro-
ductions. _ .

Au Inexhaustible supply of limestone (so necessary for the manu-
facture of iron and for agricultural purposes) may be obtained by
moans of this Railway, much nearer and cheaper than by any other
lino.

This line will afford to the increasing population of the rich vales
of Ely and Rhondda a much desired communication with the great
market town and port of Cardiff, frora whence, at present, they may
be said to be almost excluded.

It is intended that the line shall commence at Blaen Rhondda, the
head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down to a natural pass
between the hills at Ffrwd AMA'S, a distance of eight miles, where It
will enter the Ely Valley and proceed down (a further tilstanoe of
six miles) to Lanelay-bridge, near Lantrissent, and there Join the
South Wales Railway, thus opening a communication seder the most
advantageous circumstances as to distance, with all the ports in the
Bristol channel.
A preliminary survey has already been made by competent par-
ties, and it is found that the country admits of highly rayonaiik,
gradients, so ranch so that It Is con anticipated that the
workspital. will be executed very conslicrablydenitirier the advertised ca-
