This Company is formed for establishing works for the manufacture
of rails and merchaalt iron.... . _

-..-
The Provisional Committee have succeeded in securing for the
Company prodnetive coal and iron mines in actual operation, and a
large extent of valuable mineral property, on which there is a fur-
nace erected, which will he in blast in two months.
These properties are situated in the midst of ironworks, which are
In the highest state of prosperity.
At the present cost of raising the minerals, rails and bar iron can
be manufactured, at the proposed works, for 4/. ss. per ton, or less ;
and there can be no doubt that the iron trade will long remain in
its present prosperous condition from the number of railroads now In
execution and projected—the profits, therefore, of the proposed
Company must be enormous.
There Is, in fact, every probability that the present healthy state
of the iron trade will long continue, and for the reason, that the old
mineral districts of treat Britain are not capable of increasing their
productions to any considerable extent, many of the celebrated mines
In Staffordshire being nearly exhausted; added to this, iron is now
so largely applied, not only for railroads, hut also to building, to
naval architecture, and to such numerous other purposes, that it
appears certain many years must elapse before the supply of iron
can exceed the demand.

At the present time, although the orders for the railroads, for
which Bills have been obtained, and those for the foreign railroads
now in execution, have not come into the market, yet all the large
stocks of iron have been consumed.
The price of merchant iron is now firm at A/. per ton, and when it
is considered that every twelve miles of the ordinary railroad, or
eight miles of that on the atmospheric system, will absorb more than
one blast furnace will produce in a year, it may be fairly estimated
that there will be a further and extensive rise in the priceZof that
metal.

The Committee have pleasure in stating, that such is the confidence
of the vendors in the -undertaking, that they have signified their in-
tention of connecting themselves with this Company by taking, in
shares, a considerable amount of the purchase-money.
The Provi clonal Committee refrain from giving any particular es-
timate of pr,)fits, as ouch must, in a great degree, depend on the
state of the Iron trade ; from reports of the engineers and mineral
surveyors, however. it would appear that should the price of rails
fall, even as low as five guineas per ton, yet a profit of 12 per cent.
might still be relied on.

The Company will be registered under the Joint-Stock Registra-
tion Act, which virtually limits the liability of each shareholder to
the amount of his shares.

The first call of 21., after the legal deposit, will be payable imme-
ciLitely on -the complete registration of the Comp Any in conformity
with 7th at id Bth Vic., cap. 110. It is not anticipated that more than
107. per share will be required, and no calls will be made at shorter
intervals ti tan four months, and in sums not exceeding 2/. per share.

The plan s of the property and the reports of the engineers and
mineral surveyors may be examined at the Offices of the Company.

dressed to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, No. 32,

D UDLEY and BIRMINGHAM JUNCTION
RAILWAY,
Combining the broad and narrow gauges, in continuation of the
Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line.
Capital 200,0001., in 10,000 Shares of 201. each.
Deposit 21. 10s. per Share.
(Provisionally Registered.)

This line will commence at the statron of the Oxford, Worcester,
and Wolverhampton Railway, at Dudley, and run into the line of
the Grand Junction Company near to Birmingham. It will traverse
or pass in the immediate vicinity of the following populous manu-
facturing towns and places, v;z., Great Bridge, Swan Village, Old-
bury, West Bromwich, Handsworth, and Sinethwick, and in its
course it will afford railway accommodation to a manufacturing and
mining population of upwards of a quarter of a million.
The names of the places of the proposed termini, and the above
indication of the course of the intended line, must abundantly sa-
tisfy every one that it presents the certainty of a lucrative traffic
both in goods and in passengers. It is almost unnecessary to speak
further of so plain a necessity as that of railvray accommodation for
such a district.

The wonder would be that the proposed line had not been esta-
blished long before, were it not for one very obvious and very poten-
tial reason to which it is owing that this rich district has hitherto
been suffered to remain destitute of railway accommodation. The
district has been up to this time deprived of the benefits of railway
means of transit because it was one of the richest farms of the
Birmingham Canal Company ; and it is to overcome the depressing
influence of such a destitution that the present plan has been pro-
jected.
The intended line will not interfere with any existing line of
railway, but it will materially extend the usefulness of the several
lines about to be connected with Dudley, and in particular that
great mining district trunk line, the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver-
hampton Railway, as also the Shrewsbury and South Staffordshire
Junction; besides, it will afford to the populous districts around
Dudley and Birmingham the direct benefits of fair and liberal com-
petition in passenger conveyance and in the transit of their industrial
products to their principal market.
The number of omnibuses, coaches, and swift canal packet-boats
continually travelling between the termini, afford the strongest as-
prance of the prospect of a large passenger traffic : while the bulky
nature and vast extent of the mining and manufacturing produce of
this well-known district equally vouch for that in goods ; and the
whole leaves no doubt but that the financial returns of such an un-
dertaking must yield an ample remuneration for the capital ex-
pended.
In an engineering point of view, it has been ascertained, by careful
surveys, that the line is highly favourable, and presents not the
slightest difficulty, so that altogether there is probably no lime of rail
way now before the public so much entitled in every way to the
favourable consideration of the parties locally interested, or of
capitalists in general. The former have already evinced the warmest
interest in the proposed line ; and indeed it is mainly owing to
urgent local suggestions that the projected railway has been under-
taken.

No further call (beyond the deposit) will be made until the Act
shall be obtained ; and power will be applied for in such Act to
allow interest at four per cent. per annum on the deposits and
calls from the date of each payment until the opening of the line.
An influential Provisional Committee will be published in a
few days.
Applications for shares will be received until the 14th instant, and
may be addessed to

The Provisional Committee of the North London Junction Rail-
way Company have great satisfaction in informing their subscribers
that negotiations are now pending between the Provisional Commit-
tee of this Company and the Directors of the Railways 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 of grouad (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 character as to
have induced the Provisional Committee to determine on purchasing
the entire site, and it has, therefore, been resolved by them to in-
crease the capital of this Company to 1,300,0801.

The Provisional Committee coOsidei it of paramount importance
to secure within the limits of their City terminus, the amplest and
most complete accommodation for the traffic of each of the railway
companies who may co-operate with them, an object which will be
effected by opening the very extensive and valuable space of ground
alluded to, within the centre of the City of London.
In conjunction with this enlarged plan, it is intended to embrace
that of a branch line to the present station of the Eastern Counties
Railway in Shorediteh, which will effect an entire junction between
the eastern and western parts of the metropolis ; and at the same
time afford a direct communication between the whole of the rail-
ways, which reach London tothe north of the Thames, and give
full development to each of their schemes by creating for them a
common centre within the heart of the metropolis.
Independently, therefore, of the almost incalculable local traffic
which the position of their City terminus will ensure to this Com-
pany, will be added that of those companies also who will eventually
co-operate with the North London Junction Railway Company, and
the perfection of a project of no ordinary magnitude and importance
will be realised throughout the whole of this short but very valuable
line of railway.
A lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the
entire district through which this Company proposes to run this line;
by this means the most casual observer will be enabled to ascertain
that the environs of London, north of the Thames, will be placed in
immediate communication with the City ; while the dense popu-
lation of the City will enjoy a fact .ity of connexion with its suburban
localities, necessarily affording it the greatest accommodation.
With such important local resources, therefore, together with the
vast traffic on which the shareholders of this 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. Tkat revenne 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-thirds of which reach the
City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,409 persons daily, half
of whom pass to the West-end of London. The omnibus traffic daily
is 30,594 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 produots are derived:—

SECRETARY—Stillingtleet Locker, Esq.

Assuming the northern terminus of the Erewash Railway,
as its origin, this line will pass through localities totally un-
provided with railway accommodation, into the populous ma-
nufacturing districts of Lancashire. It will continue the
important line from which it borrows the prefix of its name,
from Alfreton, in Derbyshire, where it will be a recipient of
traffic from the Cromford Canal—communicating with the Codnor
ironworks--along the Dinting Vale, and, obeying the course of the
river Dement, enter Yorkshire, in the vicinity of Saddieworth. In
its course, it will pass through or near to Matlock, Ashbourne, Glos-
sop, Mottram, Hyfield, and Duckenfield, in reaching which point, the
Manchester and Sheffield Railway will be intersected, and the Hud-
dersfield Canal Railway passed, near to the Rochdale station of the
Manchester and Leeds Railway.
It is unnecessary to state here the character of the country from
Rochdale to Blackburn : it will be sufficient to observe, that it is the
seat of those manufactures to which England owes her accumulating
wealth. The line will proceed thence through or near to Whitworth
and Rossendale, and fall into the East Lancashire Railway, in the
vicinity of Haslingden.
A branch will be thrown out of the trunk line, from the Junction
with the East Lancashire line near Haslingden, by Low-Moor iron-
works and Bacup, to Todmorden.
The Erewash Extension will be the only direct route from the
centre of Derbyshire to the great manufacturing towns and chief
seaports of Lancashire. It will traverse a valley district adorned
with the most picturesque scenery, and, at the same time, rich in
mineral produce. It will communicate, laterally, with several trunk
lines of railway, and will be fed by no less than five working canals—
the Cromford—the Manchester and Sheffield—the Huddersfield—the
Manchester end Leeds—and the Liverpool and Blackburn.
To the multiplication of advantages which intersecting railways
and lines of still-water navigation are compelled to afford, the throw-
ing out of branches from the line itself in so many directions will add
still further powers of accommodation, and, when the dense popula-
tion in the localities traversed is considered, there is every reason to
conclude that an ample remuneration for vested capital will be ob-
tained.
By Ibllowlng the some of rivers, which, in this hAtAUCe! fall 4;

with the exact direction of the projected line, highly favourable gra-
dients are obtained for a considerable part of the length; and every
other section of the country, upon a preliminary survey, has been
reported as more than commonly practicable. While the return for
capital cannot be questioned, and the necessities of the district de-
mand accommodation, the expenditure must necessarily fall below
the usual amount for works of equal magnitude.
To identify this project with that of the Erewash Valley, although
not included under, or belonging to the same executive, it is pro-
posed to allow subscribers in that Company shares in the Erewash
Extension : the number to be regulated by the interest retained in
the elder project.
The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the Share-
holders beyond the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament is
obtained; and power will be taken in the Act to allow 4 per cent. in-
terest upon all calls.

Prospectuses, maps, and forms, may be had at the Offices of Hull
Terrell, Esq., solicitor, 30, Basinghall-street, London ; G. Cressy
Hall, Esq., solicitor, Alfreton ; George Henry Richardson Cox, Esq.,
Spondon, Derbyshire; and the following Sharebrokers :—Messrs.

This line will commence at a point on the ➢tidland Counties Rail-
way, near Kegworth, and will proceed in a direct line to Nuneaton,
and thus, by means of other projected lines, a direct communication
will be formed between the important towns of Nottingham, Newark,
and Lincoln on the one side, and Birmingham, Coventry, and War-
wick on the other ; and+ as there is no doubt the proposed rail-
way between Cheltenham and Warwick will be 'formed, a direct
communication will thus be effected between the Severn at Glouces-
ter, and the Humber at Great Grimsby, At the same time, a rich
mineral and, agricultural district will be supplied with railway ad-
vantages.

The line will pass through a very productive district, intersecting
the Leicestershire coal-fields and limeworks, and will afford commu-
nication, north and south, to the Derbyshire potteries. With such
an assured immediate and prospective amount of traffic, the profits
on the small capital required cannot fail to be highly remunerative.
In consequence of the lines in the coarse of formation, exclusive of
those projected to Great Grimsby, that port will be rendered of the
first importance, and it must be obvious that traffic from the district
south-west of Warwick will be very great.
The distance saved by the proposed line between Leamington,
Warwick, Coventry, and Nottingham, will be about twenty miles ;
and between Birmingham and Nottingham about six miles. As
it is the shortest :route from Birmingham to Nottingham and
Lincoln, it must secure the train* from Birmingham to Notting-
ham, Newark, Lincoln, and the port of Great Grimsby ; and by com-
municating with the Erewash Valley Railway at Long Eaton, it must
command the traffic from Coventry, Warwick, and the district south
of those towns to Sheffield, Leeds, York, and the north of England
generally. It will also afford a direct communication between Not-
tingham and the district between Warwick and Worcester, by means
of the projected Worcester, Warwick, and Rugby, and the Warwick
and Worcester Railways.

The entire length of the line will be about twenty-four miles. The
Parliamentary surveys are now in active progress, and contracts have
been entered into with eminent surveyors, which will insure ample
time for a compliance with the standing orders. The engineer also
reports the country to be free from all engineering difficulties, and to
present unusual facilities for the formation of the line.
The Committee having determined upon making provision for com-
pleting the whole line to Coventry, in case circumstances should ren-
der such a course expedient, have resolved to raise the capital to
550,0001., in 27,500 shares of 201. each. Any parties who may be
desirous of withdrawing their applications in consequence of the
above alterations in the project, must signify the same forthwith,
otherwise the applicants for shares will be considered as acquiescing
therein.

Powers for allowance of interest at four per cent. ea the paid-up
capital will be taken, and the liability of shareholders limited to the
amount of their subscriptions.

This railway project will join Manchester to Lincoln by nearly a
straight line, and has been formed by an union with the Chesterfield
Canal Company. One of its objects is the conversion of that canal
Into a railway (as far as it may be available), so as to give the most
complete system of railway accommodation from Great Grimsby,
Wainfleet, Horncastle, Louth, Lincoln, Gainsborough, Retford, and
Worksop, to Sheffield, Rotherham, Chesterfield, Bakewell, Buxton,
Stockport, Manchester, Liverpool, and Birkenhead; also the most
direct communication from east to west, with Macclesfield, Congleton,
Crewe, Chester, Bangor, and Ireland ; as well as nearly direct access
to the Staffordshire Potteries and iron districts of North Staffordshire ;
also to Shrewsbury and North and South Wales. Southward, it will
give a good communication to Derby, Birmingham, Droitwich, Chel-
tenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and Southampton.
This line will commence at Lincoln, and go nearly direct to East
Retford, Worksop, and Chesterfield, where it it will join the Mid-
land Railway, the Chesterfield and Sheffield Railway, and also the
proposed North Derbyshire lines, which proceed direct to Manchester
and Liverpool, and North Staffordshire. In length it will be about
56 miles.

A section of the line will commence at Gainsborongh, and join the
main line at East Retford : a branch will be made from Worksop to
join the Midland near Beighton, so as to give railway accommoda-
tion to Rotherham and the nortern districts. This branch will take
the course of the Chesterfield Canal, which it is proposed to use in
its construction.
A glance at the map will at once show the importance of this
national undertaking. In connexion with other lines it will form
the most direct and valuable trunk line from east to west than has
yet been offered for public support ; it will join together nearly by a
direct route the most important manufactur ng towns of Lancashire
and North Staffordshire, with the rich corn-growing districts of Lin-
coln and Nottinghamshire, and will give to the rising ports of Great
Grimsby and Wainfivet a most perfect access from nearly all the
great manufacturing districts of the west.
The project, comprehensive and integral in itself, interferes with
no vested interests, and will form a considerable auxiliary and feeder
to the various lines with which it connects itself. It will offer a great
advantage to the public from its union with the Chesterfield Canal,
for that portion of the canal, not used for the railway, will give ex-
tensive local accommodation, by affording many more points of con-
tact with the consumer.

It is thought unnecessary to present any detailed estimate of
traffic, as it must be obvious from the :above outline of the objects
to be accomplished, and the rich, populous, and productive agricul-
tural and manufacturing districts to be traversed and connected, and
the extent of inexhaustible coal-fields and lime and stone quarries in
the immediate neighbourhood of the line, that the project presents a
most advantageous investment for capital, and will afford an ample
remuneration to the shareholders ; in proof of which reference may
be made to the printed yearly accounts of the Chesterfield Canal
Company, which for an average of 10 years,
show a dividend of above 91. per cent. per annum.
