The line of Rails;ray 'intended to be constructed by this Company
will commence at or near Norton Bridge (a station of the Grand
Junction Railway), In the county of Stafford, and proceed from
thence by Eccleshall, Oflley, Norbury, Forton, Newport, Donnington
Wood, Oaken Gates, Priors Lee, Stirchley, Dawley, Madeley, and
Iron Bridge, to Coalbrook-dale ; there, crossing the proposed " Wor-
cester and Crewe Railway," it will pass along the slope of Weill4ek-
edge, by Ruslibury and Eaton-under-Haywood, to Wistanstow, in
the county of Salop, where it will rim into, and form a junction with
the " Shrewsbury, Hereford, and North Wales Railway."
The line will traverse a rich mineral district, and will have a secure
and extensive traffic. by the carriage of coal from the Shropshire
coal-field, to a depot proposed to be formed at Wistanstow, for the
supply of South Shropshire, part of Radnorshire and Herefordshire,
and also from whence it will be conveyed by the "Hereford, Shrews-
bury, and North Wales Railway," into Montgomeryshire and the
neighbouring counties, where coal does not exist. It is impossible to
calculate the extent to which this traffic may be carried, as by the
direct railway communication thus opened between the Shropshire
coal-field, and the important manufacturing towns of Newtown
and Llanldloes, the price per ton will be reduced one-half at
those places, and the flannel manufacturers, now depend-
ing upon water power, will, by the cheapness of coal, be
enabled to employ steam, and to extend their trade in proportion to
the great demand which exists for the Welsh flannels, in preference
to any other. The importance of this subject will have its due weight
with those who so often witness the bad effects upon the trade, caused
by the stoppage of the mills from an insufficiency of water.
A considerable amount of tonnage is now incurred by the Shrop-
shire ironmasters, for the conveyance of lime-stone from the neigh-
bourhood of Much Wenlock to the furnaces, by several transits of
land and water carriage, whereas the proposed railway will convey
it direct into the heart of the works, and at one-third of the expense.
By its junction with the " Grand Junction" and the " Hereford
and Shrewsbury" Railways, this line will form a direct communica-
tion between Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, York and Hull, and
Swansea and South Wales.

As a junction line alone (connecting as it will such important rail-
ways), a large passenger traffic may be depended upon, but when it
is considered that the centre of the line passes through a densely-
populated mining district, and the remainder through a thriving
agricultural neighbourhood, it will be obvious that a sufficient local
traffic exists to pay a highly remunerative interest on the amount of
capital required to be embarked.
The line, which will not interfere with any property of an orna-
mental or costly character, will not exceed 46 miles in length, and
will be constructed at much less than the average cost.
The co-operation of the principal landowners on the line has been
secured, and no opposition is anticipated or can be sustained against
the measure. ,

The liability of the Shareholders will be limited, by the Act, to the
amount of their suhscription to the capital stock ; and power will be
applied for to allow interest at the rate of four per cent. per annum
on the amount of the deposit, and upon the further calls, from the
date of each payment until the .opening of the line ; and the first
deposit being paid, a further call will not be made until the Act of
Parliament shall have been obtained.
Maps of the line, prospectuses, &c., are to be obtained from the

The Committee have the satisfitetien to inform the Shareholders
that they have secured the, St:TV/ORS:CI Joseph Locke, Esq., as en-
gineer of their line.

- • They also refer with much plcnsarefo.tjtdprospeetus of the Cornwall
and Devon Central Railway Company, announcing the intention of that
Company to carry on the Pre direct from Exeter to Fahnont h and
Penzance, whereby a saving ofllft:t miles in distance will be cfr,cted
over the present railway coninnirdeathat between London and the
Land's End.

In connexion with the South-West rn Line, whose projected ter-
mini at Charing-cro and London-bridge _ will bring their traffic into
the heart of London, it is evident that this hoc will not only be the
most direct and shortest, but will also be completed at the least cost,
at nearly fifty miles of the matn_line_of the South-Western, between
London and Basingstoke, will be traversed as part of the line.

pany of the necessity and advantage of forming a Branch line from
Salisbury to Poole, through Wimborne, the Committee, in compliance
with the wishes thus expressed, have determined to carry out this
important object. •

The Hue will commence at Salisbury, and, passing near Downton
and by Fording bridge; 'will proceed en to Wimborne Minster, and
there, joining the Southampton and Dorchester Railway, II ill coin.
plete the direct communication to Foote.
A survey of the cmintry has ben made and the Committee are
enabled to state that the report of the Engiders Ls highly. F atisfactory.
The minute and careful estimates of the traffic, which have already
been made, show a very large return on the amount of capital neces-
sary for the undertaking; and as the line will be constructed and
worked under the management of the Committee of this Company, a
material saving in the ordinary expenses will he effected.
The capital to be raised for this purpose will be 250,0001., which

The objects of the Midland and Thirsk Junction Railway are three-
fold ; firstly, to open up and fully develop one of the richest fields of
Coal and Ironstone in the kingdom ; secondly, to make a Trunk Line
of communication from South to North, between the Midland and
the Leeds and Thirsk Railways ; and, thirdly, in conjunction with
the Midland at Oakenshaw, the Man.-heater and Leeds and the Wake-
field, Pontefract and Goole at Wakefield, the Leeds and Dewsbury at
or near Howley Mills, the Bradford and Leeds at or near Calverley,
and the Leeds and Thirsk at or near Horsforth, to afford to the densely
populated and important manufacturing district through which the
line Is intended to pass, the best facilities for the conveyance of pas-
sengers, merchandise, &c., to all parts of the country.
The intended line runs parallel with none of the projected schemes
of last session, and cannot be said to interfere with any of them; it
is perfectly independent, and imperatively called for.
The quantity of coal procured from different collieres now work-
ing In the Ilowden Clough and Cockersdale Valleys (which are on
the intended line of railway) is about 6,000 tons per week, and when
the railway now projected is formed. it is believed that the average
supply weekly will be upwards of 20,000 tone, so that from this vast
and inexhaustible field of coal, occupying more than 10,000 acres,
and averaging twenty feet in thickness (of workable coal) an unli-
mited supply of the best and cheapest coal in the kingdom will be
available for the London market (via Goole), as well as the more
neighbouring towns of Wakefield, Leeds, Halifax, Bradford, Dews-
bury, Bingley, Keighley, Skipton, Otley, Harrogate, Knaresborough,
Ripon, &c., where in most cases the reduction will be at least
one-half, and in the more distant places much more than this amount
of reduction, and in all which places an abundant supply of good and
cheap coal is of the highest importance. The revenue to be realised
from this source alone, it is believed, will yield a most ample return
for the capital required. _ _

Besides passing through the centre of this immense coal field, the
railway traverses a district affording accommodation to a population
of upwards of 335,000 inhabitants, and whilst affording every accom-
modation to this vast population, whose internal traffic must neces-
sarily be very great, it receives an additional indemnity from the
relative position in which it stands to other lines, so that for inter-
nal resources and external relations its advantages are almost un-
rivalled.

This 'lino affords the most direct communication from North to
South, and will be a nearer route fram Huddersfield, Wakefield,
Manchester, South Lancashire, Cheshire, and all parts of the South,
to that much frequented watering-place, Harrogate, and will form a
most eligible line, with appropriate stations at Wakefield, Alver-
thorpe, Ratley, Drighlington Tong, Pudsey, Stanningley, Calverley,
and Horsforth. The length Of the main line will be about sixteen
miles, and the branches six miles.
The project is warmly supported by the landed and local interests,
and by a large body of mercantile and wealthy individuals its the
above districts, who, confident of a successful Issue, will use every
means for bringing the project before the Legislature next session.
The Company reserve the power of making an extension *Om
their line to Bradford, at the most convenient point for tke convey-
ance of the minerals, Ste., if adequate provision be not made by
another Company.
The liability of each Shareholder will be restricted to tke amount
of his Individual subscription, and interest will be allowed upon all
calls after the rate of 4 per cent. per annum from the Unto the Act is
obtained.
Further information may be obtained of the Solicitors at Leeds
or Bradford, and applications for shams may be ad Tressed to them in
the form subjoined.

It is proposed to commence this line of railway at Birmingham, at
a point contiguous to the railways from the north, and to proceed
thence to or near Henley-in-Arden, Stratford-on-Avon, Shipston,
Chipping Norton, Woodstock, Oxford, Wallingford, and Cavershani,
crossing the Great Western Railway at Reading, thence continuing
in a direct course through or near Oakingham to FanOor3ugh,
where it will cross the South Western Railway, and proceed through
or near Guildford, crossing the London and Portsmouth Atmospheric
Railway, and continuing through or near Godalming, and Horsham.
to Brighton and Shoreham, thus connecting the great manufacturing
districts of Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cheshire, Nottinghamshire, Der-
byshire, and Leicestershire ; the iron and coal districts of Shropshire,
Staffordshire, and Warwickshire ; the Potteries„ the salt-works of
Droitwich, and the entire north of England and Scotland with the
southern districts ; and perfecting a direct line of communication
between the Irish Sea and the Bristol Channel with the English
Channel, at its most important and convenient point.
By this railway the most direct channel of communication via Di-
eppe or Havre, with Parts, the whole of Central Europe, and the
Mediterranean, will be effected.

By the junction of this line with the Portsmouth Atmospheric Rail-
way at or near Guildford, ,the very important port and arsenal of
Portsmouth will be placed in direct communication with Birming-
ham and the whole of the manufacturing districts.
The communication between the important districts accommo-
dated by this illl7' is now carried on by a very circuitous route, sub-
jecting it to great delay, which will be entirely avoided ; and this line
of direct communication between termini of the utmost importance,
without change of carriage between Birmingham and Brighton, and
its consequent expense and loss of time, will also afford great local
accommodation to the fertile, populous, and wealthy districts which
are traversed by it.

To Iderkshlre, Surrey, and Sussex, to which sea-borne coal is now
imported at great coast, and with much uncertainty, Staffordshire
and Warwickshire coal may be conveyed by this railway at a great
reduction in price.

The products of the manufacturing districts will, by this line, find
the most direct communication with Paris and central Europe; and
the interchange of stone, limo, tiles, cattle, wool, grain, malt, and
hops, and all the produce of the districts traversed by this line, will
be greatly facilitated.

The intercourse already existing between the proposed termini of
this line is very considerable, notwithstanding the circuitous and
necessarily expensive route ; but considerable as it is, it must be
evident that such intercourse, whether for business or pleasure, will
be greatly promoted by the construction of this direct railway com-
munication.
There can be no doubt, that important as this line will be found as
a channel for the traffic between the termini, it will derive a great
profit from the traffic of the Northern and Midland Counties, and
the Continent, whilst the railways converging at Birmingham, those
lines which this will intersect, and the new lines now constructing
along the coast, wlll afford communication with the entire of Eng-
land.

The Bill for making a Railway from Plymouth to Falmouth, and
the West Cornwall Railway Bill, having been both rejected by Par-
liament, and the projected South Devon Railway from Exeter to
Plymouth pursuing only a winding awl precarious course along the
margin of the Southern Channel, the great area of Devonshire west
of Exeter, and the whole of the county of Cornwall, are now desti-
tute of railway accommodation.
The object of the present undertaking is to provide an efficient sys-
tem of railway communication for the whole of this Western Penin-
sula ; and as the waste of capital and time, involved in the circuitous
route by Bristol, is greatly coa.plained of, the leading and indispens-
able feature of the project will be to obtain the most direct, punctual,
and economical line between London, Falmouth, and Penzance. As
far as Exeter, that project is already in the hands of the " London
and South-Western," the " London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Junction,"
and the " Yeovil, Dorchester, and Exeter" Companies. It was th-s
Central Line, westward, which the Committee of the House of Lords,
in the Wilts and Somerset Railway Bill, in the late session, obliged
the Great Western Railway Company to pledge themselves not to
oppose ; and which they speak of in their report " as the line which
the best interests of the country require, and which must eventually
be carried direct to Falmouth, the most westerly port in the
Channel."
Under these auspices, and with this strong expression from the
Legislature, it may be considered that a continuous line of railway,
from London, through Salisbury, to Yeovil and Exeter, no less than
thirty miles shorter than the devious course of the Great Western
Railway, is already morally secured. In order, therefore, to com-
plete this great national project thus suggested by the House of
Lords, it remains only to extend this direct Exeter line, without
change of gauge or terminus, direct to Falmouth and Penzance.
The saving in actual distance thus effected, between London and
Falmouth, as compared with the Great Western and its extensions,
amounts to more than fifty miles; whilst the time also saved by
avoiding the passage of the Hamoaze, to say nothing of all other
difficulties involved In that project, was estimated, in the recent in-
quiry before Parliament, as equal to a saving of fifteen or twenty
miles more.
Bearing in mind, therefore, the geographical position of Falmouth
and Penzance, especially the great advantages of the former, as the
most Westemly station for our naval and packet service, and as af-
fording a most secure harbour of refuge in the event of war; and re-
membering, too, that this must eventually become the highway to
the Mediterranean, the East and West Indies, and America, the im-
portance to the Admiralty and Lloyd's, of such a direct railway, with
a continuous and efficient electric telegraph, can hardly be over-rated.
The central district from Exeter, westward, has been recently re-
surveyed, and has been found to afford a main trunk line, with good
locomotive gradients, attainable without engineering difficulties, and
at a reasonable expense ; the general course being aear or through
Crediton, Bow, Hatherleigh, North Tawtou, Okehampton, Launces-
ton, Camelford, Bodmin, St. Columb, St. Austell, (by means of a
branch,) Truro, and Penryn, to Falmouth ;—at Truro, an extension
line through West Cornwall will diverge to Chacewatcr, Redruth,
Camborne, Hayle, (with a branch to St. Ives,) Marazion, and Pen-
zance.
This extension runs for more than 30 miles through the most popu-
lous and flourishing part of Cornwall ; and the Tables of the recently
rejectly West Cornwall Bill showed an existing traffic, through that
district, of 101. per cent. after deducting working expenses. But as
the constructing and working this line by a separate company would
be productive of unnecessary expense and inconvenience to the public,
the line to Penzance, as well as to Falmouth, will form an Integral
portion of the main work under one and the same management.
From Tnro, eastward, the main line will pass several Important
mines; and near Bodmin will throw out a branch through the China
slay district to St. Austell, and its populous raining neighbourhood.
It will also avail itself of the railways now in process of construction
from Nevrquay on the north, and Par on the southern Channel ;
whilst a connexion with the already constructed railway from Both
min to Wadebridge, will open, through the port of I'adstow, the best
communication between Cork, the south of Ireland, and London.
Advancing farther, an opportunity will occur of establishing a traffic
with the well-known Delabole Slate Quarries on the one hand, and the
flourishing Caradon Mines on the other ; whilst the sand supplied by
the Bude Canal, and the lime which abounds in the neighbourhood
of Launceston, will form the subject of most considerable transport
into the highly improvable agricultural districts westward and east-
ward.

'rising onward into Devonshire, a branch will be thrown out from
Le main line to the port of Bideford, thus opening, for the mineral
produce of Wales, a market in Central Devon and Cornwall, which
are destitute of coal ; and another branch will diverge southward by
Tavistock to Plymouth, thus affording the most direct communica-
tion between those towns and Exeter. This branch being also
accessible from Launceston will open for the north and West of Corn-
wall, and for Falmouth, a line to Plymouth, in point of time, shorter
than the lately projected line across the Hamoaze from Plymouth to
Falmouth, Should the traffic, nevertheless, be found to justify an-
other branch from a point near Bodmin, through Liskeard, to Ply-
mouth, such a branch may and will be constructed.
Arriving within fourteen miles of Exeter, the main line will be
Joined from the north by a direct line from Ilfracombe and Barn-
staple to Exeter, and about seven miles further on by the Dartmouth,
Brlxham, Torbay, and Exeter line, an amalgamation of which two
lines is now under consideration, thus affording to these two friendly
companies a direct communication from north to south, from the
Bristol to the English Channel, and carrying their traffic on one com-
mon trunk, on to one common terminus, with the Yeovil line at
Exeter.
The Inspection of a map will better show the importance of this
comprehensive scheme, which overspreads the surface of Devon and
Cornwall, and leaves little to be desired to give full value and effect
to objects of such importance.
The supply and demand created by this large area,—its population,
amounting to more than 600,000,—its Ports, situate on both Chan-
nels,—its Fisheries, Mining, Commercial, and Agricultural advan-
tages,—its exports of Corn, Wool, and Cattle, —its probable con-
sumption of Coal, Manure, and general supplies,—were] fully
gone into in the recent inquiry before the House of Lords, and forcibly
require increased facilities, and diminished cost of transport. The
general evidence, also, given in that House, showed a good remune-
rative existing traffic, without any such increase as may reasonably
be expected from a well-digested system of Branches ; and when the
thrther increase in passenger and general traffic, east and west, is
taken into consideration, which must necessarily arise from bringing
Falmouth, its harbour and foreign relations, and Penzance, with its
much-sought climate and early markets, so much nearer to the Me-
tropolis, and the northern and eastern parts of England than can
possibly be accomplished by any other devisable railway communi-
cation ; and when it is also borne in mind, that from the Peninsular
form of the county of Cornwall, this line, when established, can have
no competitor, it is not too much to assert that this project offers a
very eligible opportunity for the Investment of capital.
The strong feeling in favour of a central line, evinced by public
meetings and petitions from every part of the county of Cornwall
and West Devon ; the support of Noblemen, Magistrates, Merchants,
Mine-owners, and Agriculturists, in the recent struggle: the numerous
and strong assurances of support already received from the landowners
and general interests along the line ; and the hearty concurrence
and co-operation of the Associated Companies, the names of whose
members appear in the: Provisional Committee,, leave no doubt
of the successful issue of the application which will be made to Par-
liament in the next session.

BANEEIII.
The Craven Banking Company, at Settle, Skipton, Burnley,
Clitheroe, Colne, and Keighley
t has long been considered strange, but such is the fact, that In
Craven,
.he large and important districts of North Lancashire
coLaunuctnieshs,irien a
themselves, which may be termed provinces, or almost
no public Fire and Life Assurance Company has yet been established,
although comprising property of every description of hazard to an al-
most incalculable amount.
It is therefore proposed to found a Society or Company, to be
called the NORTH LANCASHIRE and CRAVEN ASSURANCE
COMPANY, under the provisions of the above Act, which will give
to the public all the benefits of a mutual Assurance Company, and
secure to the Shareholders a reasonable amount of profit.
The Company' will be organised, and its rules and regulations de-
fined, by a deed of settlement, to be made pursuant to the Act re-
ferred to, and proper measures will be taken for the purpose of effec-
tually restricting the liability of each Shareholder to the amount of
his or her subscriptions respectively.
By the Act above referred to for the registration of Insurance Com-
panies not more than ten shillings per cent. is allowed to be called
for until the full registration of the Company ; consequently a deposit
of five shillings per share only will be called for on the allotment.
It is probable that not more than 51. per cent. on the amount of
each share will be called for, which experience in similar under-
takings has shown to be abundantly sufficient in the outset, the re-
mainder of the subscribed capital being intended only as a guarantee,
in extraordinary exigencies.
Applications for Shares may be made to the Solicitors, or to-Henry
Alcock, Esq., Solicitor, Skipton ; or to the following Brokers :—Mr.
John Gibbing, Settle; Mr. Thomas Boardman, Blackburn; Mr.

mate can scarcely bo given. It will be sufficient to state that coals,
fish, lime and salt, empty puncheons, shingles, bricks, hoops, lead,
timber, provisions, cattle, flour, tobacco, hardwares, and manufac-
tures gener Ily, form important sources of profit.
The working expenses of the railway will require but a moderate
per centage, sad from all the circumstances already stated, and care-
ful Inquiries into the traffic, there can be no doubt that this line of

railway will yield a very remunerative return upon the capital re-
quired, and the speedy communication established between the Island
and Great Britain, by means of the Royal Mail Steam l'w:ket Com-
pany, will enable the Directors in this country to exercise an efficient
control over the management of affairs in the Island.
The Committee propose to make provision in the Local Act for the
payment of four-and-a-half per cent. interest upon the amount paid
upon the Shares from the passing of the Bill until the opening of the
line.
