and Mochnant, accommodating Welchpool, Oswestry, and Llangollen.
Ant this point there are thmn asses, which have imen inspected, 13114
it 'remains for the engineer Ito select 'One as an entrance or passage
Into the Valeof the River Dee, when the line will proceed round by
Corwen into the Vale of the River Aiwen, from whence it will run
nearly parallel with the great Holyhead Mall-c,ach-road, by Pentre-
voelas to Capel ( 'errig, it will then iescend the Vale of Sant Francon
t o Bangor and Holyhead.
This line will in its progress feed, and be also fed by the most consi-
elderable railroads of the kingdom, particularly those of the Great
Western ; the Birmingham, Gloucester, aid Bristol ; the Oxford,
Worcester, and Wolverhampton ; the London and Birmingham ; and
the South Staffordshire llallway. As this last line will connect
Dudley, Bilston, Wednesbury, Walsall, and Lichfield with the
Derby Railway and the Grand Junction Railway, It would
be superfluous to expatiate on the advantages of bring-
ing all those important centres of the coal and iron trade and
other traffic, and the vast coal and iron fields of Shropshire
into close intercourse, and thus establishing the cheapest and
quickest means of transit between the minerals of Shropshire and the
furnaces of Staffordshire, and the markets of Dublin, London, and
Birmingham. The success of the undertaking is secured beyond a
doubt, by the obvious fact that it will not only bring the richest
mineral and manufacturing portions of England much nearer to the
two capitals, but it will open for the carriage of the valuable pro-
duce of these districts the intermediate country not at present pos-
sessed of any direct line of railway communication. On the other
hand, the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Railway will
gye to London and the neighbourhood of Birmingham a route to
Dublin shorter by nearly seventy miles than that of any other exist-
ing railroad ; and finally, enable ts avellers to complete the entire
distaste, in ten hours.
It will also ensure two mail deliveries in the day.

I7p to the point where the line approaches Corwen, no engineering
difficulties are presented. At Corwen a deviation from the straight
hue may be requisite to avoid tunnelling, after which a straight line
will be resumed to Bangor, where that already In construction will
be adopted for the rest of the route to Holyhead ; or, if found de-
sirable, power will be taken in the Bill to continue an independent
line by Beaumaris to Holyhead.
After a careful investigation of the traffic arising from passengers,
the conveyance of mineral and agricultural produce, and the direct
transmission of the mails, the Directors fes I warranted in anticipating
a return of at least ten per cent. on the capital invested.

A tr•aty is in progress with a Steam Navigation Company to run
powerful rteamers between the harbours of Holyhead and Kingston
on the arrival of the.trains, so that passengers and merchandise may
be booked throughout from London to Dublin, including all the inter-
mediate stations, and be thus enabled to complete the entire distance
in ten hours, without the inconvenience so painfully felt of changing
from the conveyance of one proprietary to that of another. The
railways new in active pr gress in Ireland, running from Dublin
north and south throughout the heart of the island, render it self-
evident that the chain of communication between the sister countries
is, by this present undertaking, rendered at once complete
and intimate.. to ..the last degree. As the leading aim of
this Company is to save time and distance, every attention of
the Directors, and every advancement in science wilt be made
available to gain the utmost possible amount of speed, com-
patible with safety, the lines being formed expressly for this end ;
while, finally, the very lowest rate of fares will be adopted for both
passengers and traffic, and the pnblic will find in the improvement of
the inferior carriages, and some addith,nal comforts for those of the
first class, that the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Rail-
way will be placed in advance of any other now existing„and in all
its details will be rendered worthy an enterprise so national in its
character.

Application will be made for si Bill to incorporate the Company
early in the next session. The usual power will be taken by the It_ct
to allow interest at 41. per cent. per annum on the amount of the
subscriptions paid up; and no subscriber will be answerable for more
than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then not
beyond the amount of his subscription.

Applications for Shares may be made, in the subjoined form, to the
following Solicitors, Brokers, and Agents :—Mr. Roger Mortimer,
Throgmorton-street, London; B. R. Pemberton, Esq., Atherton-
buildings, Mr. Wm. Berl, and Messrs. Schultz and Carr, Liverpool;

inanediata communication with the City ; while the dense popu-
4aiion ofitreitylvill enjorafaci 4tx of celtineximwvsith its suburban
localities, necessarily affording it the 'greatest accommotiltion.
With such important local resources, therefore, together with the
vast traffic on which the skareholders of Ibis Company have a right
to rely for profit, a large amount of revenue may be fairly and justly
anticipated, fully commensurate with the outlay of the proposed
capital. That revenue will be derived thus :
The daily passenger traffic on the Great Western amounts to
3,345, one-half of which reaches the City. The London and Bir-
mingham amounts to 4,322 daily, two-thin- sof which reach the
City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,403 persons daily, half
of whom pass to the West-end of London. The omnibus traffic daily
is 30,894 passengers, two-thirds of which may be given to the City.
Passengers from the suburban districts reaching the City, now un-
accommodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily.
From these sources the following products are derived :

way, at 6d. each.. • • ............ •. ••• • • ......... ..... Z 52,523

This important line, commencing at the terminus of the Manches-
ter and Sheffield Railway, in the populous manufacturing town of
Sheffield, will proceed, in a direct course, by or through Hope,
Hathersage, Castleton, Chapel-en-le-Frith, and Whaley (the great
canal-port of the Potteries), to the terminus of the Manchester and
Macclesfield Railway, at Macclesfield, the total length of the line
being nearly thirty miles.
The importance of connecting these termini would, al me, be suffi-
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 communi-
cation and transit between the river Humber, the towns of Sheffield
and Macclesfield, the Staffordshire Potteries, the Salt Wiches of
Cheshire, the city of Chester, the docks of Liverpool and 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 allotment of shares, the applications from parties resident
on the line will be preferred.

Applications for prospectuses and shares to be made at the offices of
the Company's Solicitors, Messrs. Cattarns and Fry, 62, Mark-lane,

The Provisional Committee of the North London Jun ction Rail-
way. Company have great satisfaction in informing their ._
sunscribersr(wisienal Commit-
that negotiations are now pending between the I
tee of this Company and the Directors of the ltailwa)8 north of the
Thames of such a character as to assure them that the City terminus
of this Company will form the Grand Terminus of all the City traffic
north of London.
To effect this important object, an area of 10 acres nfgraux, (the
southern boundary of which is within 500 yards of the Bank of
England) has been most carefully surveyed and valued, and the re-
port of the architect and engineer is of so favourable a eh, __ _,
tracrer as i o
have induced the
itsProviional Committee te determine on purchasing
the entire site, and has, therefore, been resolved b, them to in-
crease the capital of this Company to 1,300,0001.
The Provisional Committee consider it of paramount importance
