SOLICITORS—Messrs. Watts, Galsworthy, and Galsworthy, 19, Ely-

The first line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the
Loughborough station on the Midland Counties line, and pro-
ceed through the Vale of Sheepshead, to Pegs Green Colliery,
near to the terminus of the Leicester and Swannington Rail-
way', and front thence through the coal-fields of Swannington
and Cole-Orton to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. It will thence proceed across
the Moira Coal-field and through the rich agricultural districts of
Seal, Clifton Campville, and Edingale, to the Birmingham and Derby
Railway, which it will cross near to Elford Park Farm, and thence
traverse the Valley of the Tame until it reaches Alrewas, where it
will form a junction with the branch of the Trent Valley line now in
progress of making. At this point it also meets the proposed South
Staffordshire line, by which means it reaches Lichfield, and by means
of one of the proposed lines it will afford communication with Bir-
mingham.
From Loughborough the line will be thrther continued to A sfordby
on the Syston and Peterborough Railway, now in progress, awl by
means of this latter line, a direct intercourse will be opened with
Melton Mowbray and the various towns through which that route
passes to Peterborough.
Bymeans of its junction with the Trent Valley line at Alrewas, the
Grand Trunk reaches Colwich, and there meets the proposed North
Staffordshire line, which proceeds through the heart of the Potteries
to Newcastle-under-Lyme, Leek, and Macclesfield. By means also
of the same Trent Valley line at Alrewas the Grand Trunk pro-
ceeds through Rugeley to Stafford, thus completing its route, and
forming a connecting line between the Midland and Grand Junction
Railways. This branch of the Hoe was formerly surveyed by Mr.
Rastrick, and approved of by him as a canal communication, so that
no engineering difficulties exist.

The second line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the
Derby station, and taking the course of the Derby Canal proceed to
Chellaston, where there are extensive plaster-works, and thence
by Swarkestone to the river Trent, which it will cross near to
the ferry at Weston Cliffe, and so proceed to Kings Newton
and Melbourne. From the latter place it will pass by the
village of Wilson to Breedon-on-the-Hill, where there are extensive
lime-works, and thence proceed by Staunton Harold, communicat-
ing by a branch line with the lead, lime, and coal works there ;
thence by the Loant Colliery to Worthington Rough, where it will
follow the line of the Cole-Orton and Swannington Railway until its
junction with the first line *l' the Grand Trunk at or near the Pegs
Green Colliery, and so proceed from thence to Ashby-de-la-Zouch.
At Ashby-de-la-Zouch the Grand Trunk forms a junction with the
proposed Nottingham and Birminghsm, and with the proposed Great
Manchester, Rugby, and Southampton Railways. Its importance as
a line for passengers is too obvious for comment, forming as it does a
complete junction between those two great thoroughfares, the Mid-
land and Grand Junction Railways, and by its branch from Derby to
Ashby-de-la-Zouch another complete junction between the Great
Northemi and Southern lines now in progress, thus opeaing a direct
line of communication to all parts of the kingdom.
As a line for traffic, the Grand Trunk will form the most direct
transit to the Leicestershire, Staffordshire, and Shropshire iron and
coal fields, to the Burton breweries, to North and South Wales, and
Ireland to Scotland, and all parts of the north, and to the eastern,
southern, and western parts of the empire. It will also be the
nearest and most direct communication from the cast to the north-
western manufacturing districts, as well as become the great route
from all parts of the kingdom to the midland counties of England.
The mineral resources are of the very highest order. The Moira
coal-field is inexhaustible, whilst the coal-beds at Stnunton Harold
alone comprise the finest quality of Kennel to a depth of seven feet,
with a super stratum of main coal to a depth of six feet. The sub-
stratum is yet to be worked. There are beds of Kennel and main
coal at Cole Orton of equal quality, though net of equal depth with
those of Staunton Harold, whilst the main coal at Swannington is nn-
rivalled, being, in fact, the bowl of the Leicestershire and Derbyshire
coal strata. It is needless to describe the beneficial results which
must arise from this opening of the midland coal district to the Lon-
don and southern markets.

At Staunton Harold and Calke exist rich veins of lead ore, now in
fall course of working.
The properties of the Breedon, Staunton Harold, and Ticknall lime
are so well knossu to agriculturists and others, that an extension of
traffic for so valuable a commodity into mere remote districts must
be of the utmost importance to the practical farmer.
In approaching the Trent, on leaving the lime district, the Grand
Trunk will fall in with most valuable quarries of millstone grit, ser-
viceable for paving and building purposes, and for which a ready
market would be found along the lino. The country also abounds
in gypsum, of which immense quantities are used in Birming-
ham and elsewhere: these markets will thus become opened for the
quarries at Chellaston.
Anew and extensive outlet will also he opened for the earthenware
of Wooden Box and Griesloy Potteries.
Until the Act of Parliament be obtained, the affairs will be under
the control of the Committee of Management, to whom power is
given to allot the shares and apply the funds of the Company in
payment of all proper expenses in the formation of the Company and
otherwise.

Power will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime the
Committee of Management take power, to alter or extend the lines,
to make branch lines, to abandon any part of the line, to raise addi-
tional capital, and to enter into arrangements with any other Com-
pany or C'unpanies.
Application for shares most be made in the usual form to the soli-
citors to the Company, Messrs. Watts, Galsworthy, and Galsworthy,
19, Ely-place, Holborn, Loudon ; to the Secretary, at the Offices of
the Company, 3, Adelaide-place, London-bridge ; and to the fol-

TO
In consequence of modifications of this line, rendered necessary
the decisions of Parliament in the late session, and of the increase of
the Parliamentary deposit required by the New Standing Orders, the
Provisional Committee find it necessary to call in the scrip hitherto
issued, for the purpose of replacing it by new scrip, to require an ad-
ditional deposit of 12s. per share, imd to cause now deeds to be pre-
pared for the signature of the Proprietors. Parties to whom scrip
has been issued are accordingly requested to send in their scrip, on
or before the first,dsy of October next, to the Secretary. New letters
of allotment will'at once be issued to such of the present holders of
scrip so sent in, as wore original subscribers for their shares; but
where the scrip has changed hands, satisfactory references as to the
responsibility of the holders will be required by the l)irectors before
new letters of allotment can be issued ; GUI the additional deposit
being paid (in accordance with the new letters of allotment), and the
new deeds being executed, the new scrip will be issued.
On and after the 10th of October next, the present scrip (unless it
shall have been sent in to the Secretary, and received by him pre-
viously to that day) will be considered as cancelled, and the shares it
represents will be re-allotted. Parties sending scrip are requested to
write their names across each scrip certificate for tile sake of security,
And to send by a post letter, at the same time that they seed their
scrip, a list of the numbeni of the scrip they have dispatched, with
their own name, residence, and (if necessary) that of their references,
attached In hill to the end of such list.

The geographical position of Worcester has caused its adoption as
the point where the broad gauge trunk:Aries of the west areto have a
common terminus. From Oxford the Great Western Company have
decided on constructing a line of rail :—another proje,t under the pa-
tronage of the same powerful direction is now before the public,
uniting Worcester with Warwick ; and, that the broad gauge will be
carried from Worcester into Wales, and to the Irish packet stations
on that coast, is now no longer doubtful. This undertaking will com-
plete a series of great avenues of iron-road, whose ramification
from Worcester will render every part of the kingdom directly
accessible from that city. Passing up the Severn Vale, where
it will disclose • a succession of picturesque scenes, it reaches
Stourport, and proceeding thence through Kidderminster, arrives at
Bewdley. This district is one of the chief seats of our carpet manu-
factures, and in the towns here named, exclusive of the intervening
districts, upwards of 30,000 persons arc located. Leaving Stourbridge
a little to the east, the line is taken to aridgenorth, a town enjoying
an active inland trade, and possessing woollen manufactures and iron
works, that give employment to a population of about 15,000. Pass-
ing through or near to Much Wenlook, Broseley-, and Madeley, from
which place there will be a branch to Shrewsbury, the line ascends
Colebrook Dale, and approaching in its oeurge Wellington and Warn
enters Whitchurch. From this central place a branch will be formed
to NorWich via Stoke, forming a junction with the Liverpool and
Crewe Railway. The trunk line will continue from Whitchureli, and
passing through pr near Malpas, have its northern terminus in the
city of Chester.

lit estimating the probable amount of revenue which the Worces-
ter and Chester Railway may be expected to yield, many sources of
profit preSent themselves, such are the dense population located along
the length of the Severn Vale, and the enriching works of industry
in which they tre engaged. Amongst the latter may be mentioned
the china marufactories of IVercester the iron, coal, and earthen-
ware works at Broseley and other places; the agricultural province
brought to Stourport market ; the inexhaustible fields of coal and
mines of iron ore in the vicinity of Colebrook Dale, Ironbridge, and
the districts to the east of Shrewsbury generally.

In calculating the cost of construction unusual advantages are also
obvious. Ths line traverses a district affording levels of several
miles in exteat, and with a surface peculiarly favourable. The resi-
dent populsit:on, disappointed by the postponement of promised pro-
jects, have warmly espoused the present, and the labouring winds.-
Um being familiar with mining operations, will be found better
qualified for the execution of railway works here than in many:other
localities.
As a link in the railway network of England, or as auxiliary
to exiatiog or projecte4 Wles poing is v4riott3 directione, t'ew

schemes hitherto proposed appear to afford greater inducement
for investment, or a wider range of accommodation for traffic and
travelling. This project constitutes a lengthened link in the chain
that will connect • Liverpool with Bristol, the grand trunk of the
West of England ;—its southern terminus, Worcester, ►s the half-
way station of the London and rortdynnllaen broad gauge :
by projected lines a direct communication will be attonled west-
ward to Swansea and Aberyetwith, and, eastward, to Warwick and
Northampton, Cambridge, Peterborough, narwhal, Lynn, Lincoln,
ani Bull.

The line has been repeatedly and careiblly examined by the Com-
pany's acting engineer, who reports that the rail Ihr many miles may
N laid on the natural level—that the gradients are in every in-
stance favourable—that the geological struct•ire of the districts to
N traversed Is equally co, and that the want of such a line of com-
munication is acknowledged by the Interests seated on its proposed
Course.

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.

The Itarortance of connecting remote parts of England by Rail-
ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns
and districts, can scarcely be better exemplified than by the Line
which is now proposed to form a short and direct channel of inter-
course between Oxford and Salisbury. Numerous projected lines
now before the public will make Oxford at the north, and Salisbury
at the south of the intended Railroad the central points from which
various radii will diverge to the north-►west, north, and north-cast of
the former, and to -the east, south, and west of the latter; and the
proposed Line from Cambridge to Oxford, continuing to that city the
eo•:rse of Railway front the north-eastern parts of the island, requires
the appliance now suggested to effect a complete means of transit to
time western and south-western counties.

The Oxford and i.alishary Direct Railway, in addition to
the benefits which Will he conferred upon the nation at
large, by preferring a direct line of communication be-
tween the north-eastern and western and south-wester►
parts of Engkmd, will afford to the borough of Abingdon,
the market towns of Wantage, Hungerford, and Ludgershall, and
the adjacent villages, en important railway accommodation, of which
the agricultural districts in which they aro seated stand in much
need, and will provide a facility for the interchange of produce be-
tween the rural, manufacturing, and commercial population of the
kingdom.

The want of railway accommodation Las long been felt to press
unfairly upon the inhabitants of the important and thriving town of
Abingdon. Their means and upportunitiee of competing with the more
fortunate traders of those towns which are already provided with di-
rect clianuels of transit, are thus severely crippled. The same remark
applies in some degree to the market town of \Vantage, which, n. 5
well as Hungertbrd and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits
and advantages produced by railway traitio.
It has therefore been deternithod to commence the propeeevitt ne at
Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdon to the station of the Great
Western Railway at Steventon, thus giving to Abingdon a direct rail-
road to London. By continuing the projected railway to \Ventage, the
sonic facility of transit to London will be afforded to that place; and
a perfect line of road from the north-eastern counties will, by n junc-
tion with the projection Irons Cambridge to Oxford, be produced,
through the towns which have been named, Hungenord and Lodgers-
ball to Salisbury, and thence to the south and western ports and dis-
tricts.

A map of the line, and a statistical report of the whole country
intended to be traversed, is in course of preparation, and with the
names of an influential provisional Committee, will very shortly
be published. In the meantime, thrther information may be ob-
tained from :Messrs. Elmslie and Preston, 47, Moorgate-street,
London, solicitors to the undertaking, to whom, at present, applica
lion for shares may be made.

This line will commence at the Long Eaton station of the Midland
Counties Hallway, and will proceed in a direst line to or near Castle
Donington, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Measham, and Market Bosworte
hr
Nimenton; joining, at Market Bosworth. the Birmingham brnucli,
projected by the Tamwort h and Leiverter Company, and at Numeet au.
the projected Coventry, Nuneaton, Birmingham, and Leicester
Railway, at the point where that line crosses the Treat Valley Doe.
Thus a direct communication will be formed between the important
towns of Nottingham, Newark, and Lincoln on the one aide, and
Birmingham, Coventry, and Warwick on the other side, at the Ramo
time supplying a rich mineral and agricultural district with railway
advantages.
A reference to the map will show that this railway Will also orgn.
mend other collateral advantages.
There is no doubt that the proposed railway eoraranntenthm tr
tWeen Cheltenham and Warwick will bo etTeeted, in which else tats
proposed line will till up the railway chasm nt present existing be-
tween the counties of Gloucester and Worcester, and Nottingham
and Lincoln. and thus form a direct line from the Severn at Glouces-
ter to the Humber at Great Grimsby. An amalgamation of the (heat
Grimsby and Sheffield Junction with the Grimsby Bock Company
being now determined on, a large amount of capital will be expended
in rendering Great Grimsby a port of the first importance ; and Itt
must be obvious that the traffic to that port, from the district eouth-
west of Warwick, will be very great.
The distance saved by the proposed line between Lsemlngten,
Warwick, Coventry. and Nottingham will be about fourteen Intloti
and between Birmingham and Nottingham (by either of the preujent
_ea_
lines from Birmingham to Leicester) the saving will be about r2stocr_
miles. Being so much the shortest route from
