This line of Railway will commence at the junction of the Man.

hester and Bir►>zingham, Chester and Crewe,- and Grand Junction
Railways, at Crewe, in the county of Chester, and proceed from
thence through or near the towns of Market Drayton, Newport, and
Shiffnal, in Shropshire, thence through the flourishing town of Kid-
derminster, to Worcester and Tewkesbury, and to the Bristol Rail-
way at Gloucester. By this means it will form the most direct
route from Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Hull, and Chester to the
important ports of Gloucester and Bristol, indeed the most direct
line from the north of England to the Bristol Channel. It will, also,
in conjunction wtih the proposed Hereford and Worcester, and Swan-
sea, Merthyr-Tydvil, and Hereford Railways, form the inset advan-
tageous route from Swansea and the iron districts of South Wales,
to Liverpool, Manchester, and Hull.
The line will cross the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway at
Shiffnal, and the Shropshire Mineral Railway and the Trent Valley
Union at the thriving town of Newport. It will form a junction
with the two latter railways at Newport, whereby persons and lug-
gage may be conveyed to Stafford, Derby, the Midland Counties,
Staffordshire Potteries, Sheffield, and Hull ; and, in addition to the
carriage of heavy goods from Bristol, Gloucester, Worcester, and
Kidderminster, to Manchester, Liverpool, the whole of the north of
England, and Scotland—will secure a large passenger traffic in the
district through which it passes.
The proposed railway will be about 87 miles in length, and be-
tween the two termini of Crewe and Gloucester, will save in distance
at least 20 miles, and the journey can be accomplished, at the pre-
sent rapid rate of travelling, in about two hours. This project as a
junction line, connects itself with some of the most important rail-
ways in the kingdom. It also skirts the large, extensive, and densely
populated iron districts of Shropshire and Staffordshire, and in its
course passes through a rich agricultural country. It must, there-
fore, be obvious that there will be a sufficient traffic to pay a high
rate of interest on the capital required.
There are no engineering difficulties in the country through which
the line is Intended to pass, the whole being nearly on a level, and
on reference to the map of country, taken from the Ordnance survey,
which accompanies the prospectus, the line will appear straight, and
will at the same time show the superior advantages it possesses, and
that it cannot be surpassed by any existing or projected lines, between
the same termini.

It will not Interfere with any ornamental property, and no tunnel-
ling will be required.
The liabilities of the Shareholders will be limited to the amount of
their subscriptions, and interest will be allowed on the deposits and
further calls, from the date of the several payments to the opening of
the line.

Prospeetuses, with Maps and Forms of Application for Shares, can
be had from the Secretary on application at the temporary offices

TO SCR IPHOLDERS,

In consequence of modifications of this lir;, rendered necessary by
the decisions of Parliament in the late session, and of thc increase of
the Parliamentary deposit required by tlre 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 I 2s. per share, and to cause new 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 day 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 were 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 Directors before
new letters of allotment can be Issued ; on 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 the sake of security,
and to send by a post letter, at the same time that they send their
scrip, a list of the numbers of the scrip they have dispatched, with
their own name, residence, and (if necessary) that of their references,
attached in full to the end of such list.

While two gigantic projects are struggling for victory, which, if ob-
tained, would inevitably prove fruitless to the victor, the dense and
wealthy population between Lincoln and York, and between Lincoln
and Leeds, are left unsupplied with railway accommodation. Not less
ambitious cf accomplishing a great public benefit, the projectors of
the Lincoln, York, and Leeds Junction Railway have adopted Lin-
coln (with 30,000 inhabitants), York (with 40,000), and Leeds (with
152,000), as the termini of their line ; and, calculating upon the ulti-
mate success of the Cambridge and Lincoln Bill. In the ensuing ses-
sion of Parliament, propose to complete the whole line of rail from
London to York and Leeds by the execution of this design.
Leaving the terminus of the Cambridge and Lincoln line
at Lincoln, the proposed line will he taken by Saxelby and
Lea to Gainsborough, where it will cross the Trent, and thence to
Maxey-gate, whence a branch will issue to Doncaster. At this lat-
ter place a communication will be formed with projected lines from
Manchester and Sheffield to the port of Goole ; and by this arrange.
ment a communication will be opened with the inexhaustible coal
fields of Elsecar and Silkstone—a species not inferior to that of Dur-
ham and Sunderland—as well as with the limestone quarries at
Warmsworth, so valuable for building purposes.
Proceeding to Thorne, the line reaches Snaith, and, continuing its
direct course westward to Selby, near to which it is crossed by the
Hull and Selby Railway, will have its northern terminus at the city
of York.
At Thorne, or some convenient point near to it, an auxiliary line
wilt emanate from the main trunk to Askern, and either by means
of the proposed branch to Mir Wakefield, Pontefract and Goole line
to that place, or by an independent course, as may hereafter be deter-
mined upon, will run through Pontefract direct to Leeds. By this
means the whole of the manufacturing districts of the West Riding
of Yorkshire and Lancashire will be rendered easily accessible.
This line will be the shortest between Lincoln and York ; Lincoln
and Leeds ; Lincoln and Selby ; York and Selby ; and York and
'The gradients throughout the line are so favourable, that none exceed
164 feet in the mile, an instance unparalleled, if the length of it be

This line will diverge from the line of the Great Eastern and
Western Railway, near Worcester, and proceeding by Brom-
yard, will end at Leominster, at which point it will unite with the
proposed lines connecting Hereford and Shrewsbury with North
Wales.
The communication by railway between these important towns
and the continuous hop and cider districts has been entirely left
unprovided for by existing arrangements, and this line is brought
forward under the auspices of the Great Easter* and Western
Railway Company, on the strong representations and request of a
large and most influential body of the landed gentry of the neigh-
bourhood.
The object proposed is to make a direct communication between
Leominster, Bromyard, and Worcester, which latter town has always
been the natural market for the produce of these districts, and to af-
ford the inhabitants the most direct communication with London, as
compared with other lines, by upwards of 30 miles.
No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the act is ob-
tained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at 41. per cent.
on all calls ttom the time of their respective payments, as well as to
limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscrip-
tions.

SECRETARY (pro tem.)—A. Doull, Esq.

This railway will connect the important and hitherto neglected
town of Barnet with the London and Birmingham and the Great
Western Railways, at or near Holsdon-green ; with the Northern
and Eastern and the Eastern Counties Railway, at or near Totten-
ham ; and the proposed Direct London and Manchester, and the Lon-
don and York Railways.
The line, in its course, will unite the town of Barnet with Whet-
stone, Totteridge, Highwood Hill, Mill Hill, Finchley, Holder's Hill,
Hendon, Burrows, Golder's Hill, Gutterhedge, Kingsbury, Neesdon,
Wilsdon, Wilsdon Green. Holsdon Green, Kensall Green, Westbourne
Green, Maids Hill, Kilbtirn, Hampstead, West End, Highgate, Crouch
End, Hornsey, Musn•ell Hill, West Green, Tottenham, Edmonton,
Chinfbrd, Stamford Hill, Stoke Newington, Newington Green, Clap-
ton, Highbury, Holloway, Kingsland, Layton, Stratford, West Ham,
Bow, Bromley, Bethnal Green, Limehouse, Horton, Homerton,
Hackney, Shacklewell, Dalston,- Islington, St. Pancras, Shoreditch,
Blackwell, Euston-square, Paddington; Kensington, Hammersmith;
Brompton, Fulham, Chelsea, &c. ; connecting those places with the
various railways named, and all those south of the river Thames.
The distance from the town of Barnet to the station of the London

and Eirminghtun Railway, at Euston-square, by this route, will be
15 miles.

The length of the m•t'n line, from the point of junction at Tetten-
ham to the London and Birmingham Railway, will be 11 miles ; and
the length of the branch line to Barnet, will be 4% miles. From the
junction with the Birmingham Railway to Chipping Barnet, 9%
miles ; from the Decoy (near Brent-street, Hendon), on the proposed
Barnet and North Metropolitan Junction Railway, to the Northern
and Eastern Counties Railway, by Stamford-hill, 6% miles.
There are no engineering difficulties throughout the entire distance.
The line will proceed beyond the range of the Highgate and Hamp-
stead Hills, and the branch from the main line to Barnet will follow
the valley of the river Brent to the intended station at Barnet ; thus
the expense of construction will be less than any Other metropolitan
line of railway, for the above reason, and because it will pass through
an agricultural district, avoiding all ornamental property and large
collections of houses and buildings.
Upon the completion of this railway, a large and daily-increasing
population, resident beyond the limits of the metropolitan omnibuses,
will be largely benefited, and land and agricultural produce, hitherto
affording an inadequate return to their cultivators, will be quad-
rupled in value.

The ancient, populous, and once-flouristing town of Barnet, too,
will uow have a railway communication of its own, without depend-
ing upon the caprice or uncertain goodnature of any company who
may hold out a prospect of a branch, in future times, from some of
the trunk lines now contemplated.

An ample return of profit to the investments of shareholders may
be safely anticipated, and will arise from the following sources,
amongst others:—

1. From the conveyance of passengers.
2. From the carriage of goods and merchandise from the City and
Docks, &c., to the several railways which are intersected I y this
line, avoiding the delay and excessive cost of conveyance through
London ; also from the conveyance of cattle, &c., more particularly
during the period of the large Barnet fairs
3d. From the conveyance of coal, both inland and seaborne fuel,
and other commodities of general consumption, the great expense
of which has long been felt by all classes as a most grievc•oe ev...
The Committee of Management reserve to themselves the power
of adopting, upon this line, locomotive power, or Pr4sser's Railway
guide and safely wheels, as may be deemed expedient.
Applications for Shares in the form annexed (and communi-

ENGINEER.

This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda
and Ely Vallies, with the South Wales itailway, at a few miles dis-
tance from the Port of Cardiff; and to open a new mineral district,
one 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 ini-
mense quantities, and laying, geologically speaking, nearly fiat, and,
obtainable, tor the most part, by proper levels. The coal in addition
to its being of excellent quality for iron snaking, as is proved at Mer-
thyr and Aberdeen, is also, like that of those districts, of the very
best description for .team 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 far 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
traffic alone will afford a handsome return for the capital invested,
as has been demonstrated in every instance where even tram-roads or
canals have been constructed to open the mineral resources of other
less promising vallles in Wales than the Rhondda, which is cele-
brated for the abundance, quality, and facility of obtaining its pro-
ductions.

An inexhaustible supply of limestone (so necessary for the manu-
facture of iron and for agricultural purposes) may be obtained by
means of this Railway, much nearer and cheaper than by any other
line. _ _ .

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, from 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 Amws, a distance of eight miles, where it
will enter the Ely Valley and proceed down (a further distance of
six miles) to Lanelay-bridge, near Lantrissent, and there join the
South Wales Railway, thus opening a communication under the most
advantageous circumstances as to distance, with all the ports in the
British channel.
A preliminary survey has already been made by competent par-
ties, and it is found that the country admits of highly favourable
gradients, so much so that it is confidently anticipated that the
works will be executed very considerably under the advertised ca-
pital.
The landowners along the line are favourable to this undertaking,
and the names of many influential proprietors will be found on the
Provisional Committee. _

No Subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of his de-
posit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of
his subscription.
Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this
Company shall be under the control of the Managing Directors, to
whom power is given to allot the Shuts, and to apply the Rinds
of the Company in payment of all the expenses incurred In its forma-
tion, and in the preparation of the plans and sections to be submitted
to Parliament.
Power will be applied for in the Act (and in the meantime is
hereby given to the Managing Directors as above), to raise any addi-
tional capital, to extend or abandon any part of the line, to make
branch lines, or enter into any arrangements.
by amalgamation or
otherwise, with any other company or companies, and also to nomi-
nate the first Directors of the Company.
In the allottment of Shares, a preference will be given is
landowners on the line and other parties locally interested.
Prospectuses and Maps may
be had of, and applications for
shares, may be addressed in the form annexed to, W. 11. James,
Esq., Solicitor, 5, Basinghall-street, London ; to W. Morgan, Esq.,

The object of this line is to make a short and direct communication
between the populous manufacturing and iron and coal districts of
Bradford, Cleckheaton, Heckmondwike, Batley, Dewsbury, Barns-
ley, and Sheffield, with the wool and agricultural districts of Lei-
cestershire, Derbyshire, Doncaster, Gainsborough, Lincoln, &c., and
the port of Boston.

The line will form a junction with the West Yorkshire, the Leeds
and Dewsbury, and the Manchester and Leeds Railways, at or
near Dewsbury; and thence proceed by Darton to Barnsley, and
Wombwell, to or near to Wath-upon-Dcame, near Swinton ; where
it will join the North Midland Railway, and also meet the proposed
line to Doncaster, Bawtry, Gainsborough, and Lincoln ; and form a
communication by the existing lines with the port of Boston and the
south ; and by the projected Hull and Barnsley Junction Railway ;
It will also form a direst lice to Hull, and by the Leeds and Thirak
Railway, a direct line to the nortk.

.. . ..—.
The line will also be continued from Barnsley by Tankersley and
Chantltown to Shefleld.

A branch will run to the various Ironworks and Colliery Rail-
ways, near Wentworth ; and another branch will run to the Silk-
stone Colliery Railways.

A direct fine of communication will thus be formed between the
important manufacturing places of Bradford, Bierley, Cleckheaton,
Gouiersall, Heckmondwlke, Liversedge, Batley, Dewsbury, Ossett,
Thornhill, Darton, Barnsley, Ardsley, and Wombwell, to Wath-
upon-Dearne, Doncaster, Lincolnshire, the port of Boston, and the
south, and also to Sheffield ; affording the best possible accommoda..
tion to the rich iron and coal districts of Silkstone, Worsborough,
Tankersley, Chapeltown, and Sheffil i ; whilst the wools and raw
materials used in the manufactures at Bradford, Pudsey, Earlsheaton,
Cleckheaton, Batley, Heekinondwike, Dewsbury, and Barnsley, as
well as corn and cattle, will be received by the shortest and most di-
rect line of transit from Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire.
and the southern parts which supply these commodities, in exchange
for the manufactures, coals, and minerals of those districts.

It must be evident to every one, on looking at the map, that this
line is imperatively called for, as up to this period the only rail-
way communication for the supply of wool and other goods, and the
conveyance of passengers to Dewsbury, Ileckmondwike, Batley.
Cleckheaton, Bradford, and the intermediate places (each containing
a numerous manufacturing population), has been the North ➢tidland
line by Normanton—a very circuitous route, as appears by the fol-
lowing statement of distances of those places :

The present distance to Sheffield from Bradford is about 31 miles ;
by the proposed line it will be 31,—0r a saving of 20 miles.
From Dewsbury- by the present route Sheffield is distant 40 miles ;
by the proposed line it will be 21,—0r a saving of 19 miles.
The same observations, as to saving of distance, apply to London
and all intermediate places ; and it is important to observe that either
by the present North Midland line, or by the projected London and
York Railway, this proposed line will be the shortest and most direct
route from Bradford, Dewsbury, &c., to London.
It may also be noticed, that from Swinton to Leeds by this project
and the Leeds and Dewsbury line, the distance Is much less than by
way of /Connanton.
The following table, taken from the Parliamentary Census of 1841,
will give some idea of the populous Districts through which the line
passes :

_ _

A careful suryey of the line and branches has been made by the
engineer, a d the scheme will be submitted to Parliament at the ap-
proaching session.
Power is reserved to continue the line northward to Bradford, if
the Company should think fit.

Provisions will be inserted in the Act of Parliament to allow inte-
rest at 4 per cent. on the deposits and calls, from the passing of this
Act, until the opening of the railway ; and for limiting the share-
holders' liability to the amount of their subscriptions.
I'ower will also be applied for in the Act (and in the meantime is
reserved to the Managing Committee), to abandon or alter any part of
the line, and to make branches ; and also to enter into any arrange-
ments with any other company or compant..
A liberal portion of the shares will be reserved for the landowners
and others having local interests; and such companies as this lino
may form junctions with, or with which this Company may be con-
nected.

Applications for shares (iv the form given below), and for pro-
spectuses, may be made to the Solicitors, and also to Mr. Charles
Dyson, Sharebroker, Boar-lane, Leeds ; Messrs. Wilson and Hells-
