The object of this railway is to connect, in the most direct course,
the important and increasing manufacturing town of Leeds with the
metropolis, the want of which has long been felt, and is too univer-
sally adknowledied to need any comment, and it is under this con-
viction that this important undertaking, Inter several minute exa-
minations of the country through which it will pass, has been brought
forward.
The proposed line will commence at the jnnction of the Manchester
and Leeds, and York and North Midland Railways, near Wakefield,
and will terminate by means of a junction with the Eastern Coun-
ties Railway, at Bedford (to which place it is the intention of that
Company to extend their line in the ensuing session of Parliament),
and by thus availing itself as far as possible of the existing railways,
will eemplete.the most direct and least expensive 'trunk line, from
London to Leeds, York, and Hull. It will pass in its route within an
available distance of Wakefield, Pontefract, Doncaster, Rotherham,
East Redford, Nottingham, Newark, Grantham, Melton Mowbray,
Oakham, and Stainford,
The importance of such a line Is obvious, both from the nature of
its cow se (embracing, as it does, a most extensive population within
its limits), as also from the absence of any direct Communication
for the conveyance of passengers and merchandise.
. By the construction of this railway, railway communication to
London will be given to Peterborough and Leicester (by means of
the Syston and Peterborough Railway), to Newark and Nottingham,
(by the Nottingham and Lincoln line(, and to Sheffield and Gains-
borough, )by the Sheffield and Gainsborough line), by a much shorter
route than by any existing railwaj s.
Independently, of the advantages offered to the towns in the seve-
ral counties,through which this line will pass, the line in itself, con-
sidered its a direct trunk line between London and Leeds, is sufficient
to justify its formation, it being well known that the existing traffic
between these two places would produce such a returis on the capital
required, as to admit of g dividend equal to that of any railway in
operation; but when it is borne in mind that a company is being
formed for the purpose. of conneatin; Glasgow and Leeds by
of ?junction with the York and Carlisle Railway, no better
line cats be pregented to the public, as it will not only effect a direct
communication from Glasgow and the -western parts of Scotland to
London, but would also eeisneet Edinburgh and the eastern parts of
Scotland, its well as Durham and Newapstle (by the York and North
Midland. and Great Not th of England-Raliwa) a) with the metropo-
lis, which would he considerably shorter than the accommodation
offered by any other Company ; and when cost of construction is con-
sidered, there cannot be a doubt but that preference would be given
to the Great'Leeds and London Direct, Railway.
The fact of the Eastern' Counties Runway being connected by a
branch line wills the. East and West India Docks on the river
Thames, and the Railway Company having recently -leased for 999
years the extensive pepper Warehouses belonging to those docks,
which are capable of receiving MOD tons of goods, together with
wised; adjoining, *here the shipment awl trans-shipment of goods
from all parts of the world can take place, is a most important fea-
ture in favour of the direct communication from the manufacturing
towns of Glasgow and Leota offered by the Great Leeds and London
Direct Railway and, by branch FaijWays to the main trunk line,
through which all goods from the Maintfaelliring districts could be
ennveyed at opge to these warehouses for shipttiplt, thereby avoiding
the present delay alp" expense of cartage, and in reality establishing
an almost direct and incehiaVie ConnexiOn' between the rivers Clyde
and Thames.
It has been ascertained that there era 40 engineering difficulties,
that the w irks will be easy, and the gradients resnarkelily good, and
that it will not materially interfere with any orilamentel property.
The subscribers will be held liable only to the extent of their first
deposits, until an Aet of Parliament is obtained, and afterwards only
to the amount of their subscriptions,
It is proposed to take power in the Uhl to filloW Interest at 4 per
cent, per annum on all calls until the opening of the line, and also
to extend the line to Hertford on the Eastern Counties lisle, in the
event of that Company not prosecuting their line to Bedford.

This line is projected ,by the Norfolk Railway Company and the
Grand Union Railway Company, and it will form a connecting link
between those two lines.
Leaving the station of the Norfolk Company at Brandon, the line
proceeds via Downham Market to Wisbech, and from thence to Spald-
ing, being a distance of about 40 miles. At the latter town it joins
the-Grand Union Rai'lvey, which continues via Grantham to Not-
tingham, thus completing a direct and independent lino of communi-
cation between Yarmouth and Norwich, and Nottingham and the
manufacturing districts.
The distance 'between the termini will bo as short by the proposed
route as by the Lynn and Ely and Lynn and Doreham lines ; whilst
the traMe between Nottingham, Yarmouth, and Norwich, and the
central, west, and south parts of Norfolk, the north of Cambridge-
shire, and the.countles of Suffolk and Essex, being under the control
Of friendly Companies, will be secured for this undertaking.
Eltimittes for the traffic are In emirs° of preparation. In the mean-
time it may be stated that, from the data already furnished respecting,
some of the important locattles through whieh the line passes, added
to the fact that it forms part.of a .direct course of railway communi-
cation betwetti Manchester and the surrounding manufacturing dis-
tricts, and the ports of Yarmouth and Lynn, there is no doubt an
ample remuneration will be secured for the shareholders.
Satisfactory arrangements have been made with the Eastern
Counties Railway Company in referenee to that portion of the line
between Wished' and Spalding, which has been agreed to be leased
by them (row the Wisbech and St. Ives ConinaltY,
If the Wisbeeh and St. Ives Company succeed in their application
to Parliament, the nue to be made by this Company will be limited
to that part between WisbeelLand Brandon ; and in either case the
two Companies promoting tide line have agreed to take a lease of it at
a rental equal to 4 per cent. on the outlay, and a moiety of the sur-

It is proposed by this Company to establish a direct line of commu-
nication between Birmingham, Nottingham. Gainsborough, and Hull,
at the smallest outlay of capital, and with the least possible injury to
existing interests. To effect this object, use will be made of existing
or projected lines, as far as practicable, and the chain of communica-
tion will he completed by throwing.out new lines, where requisite.
Commencing at Birmingham, it, is proposed to use the Birmingham
and Derby Railway as far as. Whitacre, whence a new line, about 29
miles in length, will be Made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and
Castle Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid.
land Counties Railway
The communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, It will be
carried forward asfar as Gainsborough, either by the proposed Not-
tingham and Gaitishorough Railway, or by a line springing oat of the
line from Nottingham to Lincoln, for which an Act was obtained by
the Midland Counties COmpany during the last session of Parliament.
From Gainsborough this railway will proceed to Barton-on-the-
Humber, or New Ilollaud, he the immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby
rendering complete and entire the chain of communication between
Birmingham and Hull.
By this project the advantages will result to the public of a
Direct line front Birmingham to Nottingham,.
•• Birmingham to Gainsborough,
and from Birmingham to Hull;
and by means of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Railway,
and the intended extensioli to Ashby-de-la-Xnuch, a direct line from
Wolverhampton to Nottingham, alai the other towns already enu-
merated.
The support of several companies will be enlisted in favour of the
lice, which, together with its own merits, will ensure its success la
Parliament.

'-:F-eT

As a considerable portion of the Rae of communication is already
made, or in progress, the time required for the completion of this
great national undertaking will be materially shortened.

nicationi between the important seaport of Dull and the mining ao

SOLICITORS.
Messrs. Thompson and .Jepson, (llossop
➢lessrs. Edward and R. William Bennett, Manchester

The promoters of this undertaking contemplate, as their first object,
to supply a very populous and rapidly-increasing manufacturing dis-
trict with the advantages which will.l,c afforded by the intended line
of railway, and which have long been sought for.
The line will diverge front the Sheffield and Manchester Railway
at or near Dukinfield, taking its course near the densely populated
and extensive manufacturing districts of Newton, Hyde, Compstall,
and Marple, passing thence near New Millr, Hayfield, Whaley-bridge,
and Chapel-en-le-Frith (with a short branch to Buxton), it will
follow the course of the valley of the Der went, and to a point at or
near Belper, where it is propestd to join the Great Midland and also
the West Midland Railways.

By the construction of this railway; a saving of twenty miles will be
effected over any other line in existence between the manufacturing
districts of Oldham, Rochdale, Ashton, Staley, Newton, and llyde,
with their population of 300,0 0, and the favourite places of resort,
Buxton, Matlock, and the picturesque scenery of North Derbyshire.
The minerals of Derbyshire, with which the country abounds, will,
by the proposed line of railway, be brought into more extensive use,
and at a much cheaper rate in the manufacturing districts.
The saving distance between Manchester and Derby with the
eastern coast will be ilfty-lour miles.

The line has been carefully examined, and with the greatly-im-
proved facilities for the construction and working of railways, a good.
line may be made at an average cost.

The local traffic alone will pay eight per cent. on the cost of on.
struction.
negotiations are now in progress with important c.oinpanies
which there is every reason to believe will be satisfe.ctorily con-
cluded ; if so, they will render this the most complete project that has
been offered to the public.
Applications for shares, of which there is only a limited number at
disposal of the Provisional Committee, may be made in the subjoined
form to the solicitors and to the undermentioned brokers :—➢iessra.
Cardwell and Sons, Messrs. Johnson, Bradley, and Walker, and Mr.
Thomas Ellison, Manchester.

A more detailed prospectus, with the complete list of the Provi—
sional Committee, will be issued shortly.

This railway will commence at Sheerness in conjunction with a
short steam-terry communication from a point at or near to South-
end, on the opposite Essex coast, and will proceed from Sheerness
by Queenborough to Faversham, where it will form a junction with
one of the proposed Linos from London by that twit to Canterbury
and Dover.
The integral line will be continued from Faversham to or near to
Herne Bay, • and from thence to the South-Eastern Extension
Railway (now being made), at a point near Sarr, and will then pro-
ceed on that line direct to Ramsgato eastwards, and direct to Deal
south-eastwards.. From a point between Herne Bay and Sarr
the
line will also be carried by a short extension to Margate.
By this project Margee will be placed within 75 miles of the me-
tropolis, instead of more than 100, as at ?resent, and that, too, by a
direct line through Faversham, at which place it will meet the Lon-
don llnes,

The Important town of Ramsgate, now so extensively commeted
with continental communication, will also be thus afforded a much
nearer overland route'to London ; and Deal, Ramsgate, Margate,
Herne Bay, Sheerness, Chatham, Rochester, Gravesend, Woolwich.
Greenwich, and London, will all be placed in immediate or easy con-
nexion upon one continuous line of railway.
By means also of this undertaking, in conjunctim with the exist-
ing and projected railways proceeding to the south coast of Essex,
the whole of the passengers and trafte from Liverpool, Manchester,
Leeds, Hull, York, and the :Northern, the Midland, and the
Eastern Counties, will be conveyed to Dover and the Conti-
nent via Sheerness, in preference to a lengthened and cir-
cuitous route through the !metropolis, whereby the journey will be
shortened more than 50 miles, travelling expenses will be curtailed,
and the serious inconvenience and delay of transhipment and con-
veyance from ene part of London to another wholly avoided.
A glance at the map also will show the immense advantage 'which
the metropolis itself will enjoy by its being thus afforded other routes
to the coast of Kent. The millions who annually seek pleasure in
excursions to Gravesend, Sheerness, Southend, Herne Bay, Margate,
Ranisgate, Deal, and Dover, will have a choke of different routes.
They may proceed by railway, on the Ess'Cfc side of the Thames, to
the Thames Haven Tilbury Fort, or Southend—pass over to Sheer-
ness by water, and thence proceed direct by this railway—or they
may midi Sheerness wholly by water, and then avoid the sea—Or,
may pass at once from London, on the Surrey side of the Thames,
to Sheerness, Herne Bay, Margate, and Ramsgate, by railway in a
direct Rile, consuming only about two hours in the journey, and may
vary their pleasure by going in one direction and returning by
another.
Independently of the vast multitudes who will thus seek health
and recreation, the importance, as a national object, of connecting al 1
the above-mentioned towns, :and giving a direct line from Sheerness to
Dover, together with the immense ,xisting traffic in the direction of
the undertaking, and the great increase which the improved and
enlarged modes of communication throughout: Kent will occasion,
must be too apparent to need flirt/ter observation ; and the Commit-
tee. from careful inquiry, feel confidence in stating that no scheme of
railway has yet been offered to public attention combining greater
public and private advantages.
About thirty-six miles of new railway only will embrace all the
above important objects—viz., from Sheerness to Faversham
