The promoters of this Railway, encouraged by the favourable sup-
port which has been given to the project, and in compliance with
various recommendations they have received, have determined upon
the addition of a branch to Birkenhead, which, although it will
manifestly tend to the advantage of the Shareholders and the public,
will be attended with comparatively little additional outlay. The
project will still retain its chief characteristic of a direct railway,
and by its connexion, near Warrington, with the Grand Junction
Company, is sufficiently comprehensive, without resorting to a com-
plicated system of branch lines, or materially conflicting with the in-
terests of existing companies.

The line will commence at the city of Chester, and proceed by way
of Trafford, Frodsham, and Preston Brook, to Warrington, thence
by Lymm and Stretford direct to Manchester. From a point on the
main line, near Frodsham, a branch will be taken to join the Chester
and Birkenhead Railway, so as to unite Manchester in the most
direct manner possible, with the docks now being formed at Bir-
kenhead.

As Manchester, from its geographical position, is the centre of rail-
way communication between Scotland and the most populous dis-
tricts of England, so Chester, from a like cause, is the great centre of
railway communication between the capitals of Ireland and of Eng-
land. To connect these two points by a direct and independent line
of railway must, therefore, be of the utmost importance, not only in
a local point of view, but to the whole commercial intercourse of the
country.

This line will be the most • direct route, by Holyhead, to Ireland,
and will be, in all respects, by far the preferable channel of inter-
course and transit between Ireland and the great manufacturing dis-
tricts of England. By the railways connecting Chester with Wrex-
ham, Oswestry, Shrewsbury, Hereford, Gloucester, and South Wales,
this will be the nearest route from Manchester to the south-
western parts of England, and to the minerals of Monmouth and
Glamorganshire• The communication with Bristol, Gloucester, and
Exeter will be speedy and direct. On reference to the map, it will
be seen that a very considerable distance will be saved by this line,
as compared with the present circuitous routes by Crewe and by
Birkenhead; the former being 52 miles, and the latter 46 miles,
while the proposed line is only 34 miles, saving in the one case 18
miles, and in the other 12 miles, besides the serious inconvenience, loss
of time, and expense of passing through Liverpool, and crossing the
water at that place.
It is confidently expected that this line will be the precursor of
another scheme, of no ordinary importance—namely, to render
Chester an efficient port for large vessels.
This subject was entertained by Sir John Rennie in 1835, and sub-
sequently, in the same year, by the late Mr. Chapman, who wrote an
able report upon the capabilities of the river Dee. It was again
investigated, in 1837, by Sir John Rennie and Mr. George Remington,
and the practicability of forming a good navigable channel for vessels
of large burden, together with docks at Chestsr, was then fully and
clearly established.
The entrance channel would commence at Dawpool, which is easy
of access (and infinitely preferab'e, in point of access and safety, to
the docks at Liverpool or Birkenhead), for vessels of large burden,
during eight hours every tide, both at springs and neaps; and the
call of the lock would be sufficiently low to admit vessels drawing 20
feet water to enter at all tides.

This railway, therefore, in connexion with the proposed docks,
will render to Chester and Manchester incalculable advantages. To
the former it will restore the proper position natural to so important
a city ; to the latter it will give another outlet, by sea, to the ma-
nufacturing districts, free of the heavy port charges, dues, and
risks to which the produce is now subject. It has not been thought
advisable to combine the two objects in one company at present,
hut should it be found requisite, the two may hereafter be amalga-
mated.

Merits of no ordinary degree, therefore, may fairly be claimed fbr
this railway, whether taken in connexion with the proposed docks,
or as standing alone, combining as it does all the advantages of any
other lines, with this great addition, that it will be the high road to
the most convenient outport of Manchester, and will be quite inde-
pendent of any associations or influences that might tend to oppose
the growing desire for a moans of direct and independent communi-
cation between Manchester and the port of Chester.
The line has been carefully examined. There are no difficult
earth-works to be encountered ; on the contrary it will be cheap,
and of easy formation. Power is reserved to the Committee to de-
viate from the proposed line in the vicinity of Manchester, should
ulterior arrangements render it expedient.

HARWICH PIER and DOCKS, and BIR-
MINGHAM and CENTRAL-ENGLAND GRAND JUNC-
TION RAILWAY.

Provisionally Registered, pursuant to Act 7 and 8 Victoria, cap. 110

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
This hallway is intended to commence at the port of Harwich, and
proceed from thence to a junction with the London and Birmingham
Railway, at or near Blisworth.
The Commissioners appointed by the Crown to inquire into the
most eligible situations for Harbours of Refuge, have reported upon
Harwich, as the finest and only safe Harbour along the East Coast
of England, and from its situation and extent, one of very great im-
portance to the trade of this country. The Commissioners, in their
Report, urged upon the Government the necessity for taking imme-
diate measures for the improvement of Harwich Harbour, as a work
of national importance ; and a Parliamentary grant has been made
for that purpose.

This Company is established with a view of carrying out more ex-
Atnsively tliktobjects of the Goverment, by the construction of a
Pier and Docks, and by opening up tile shortest and most direct com-
munication between the port of Harwich and the port of London, the
Western and Midland Counties, and the manufacturing districts; and
for the purpose of bringing into more immediate connexion the great
commercial ports of England with the port of Harwich, as the grand
outlet to all parts of Northern and Central Europe, by means of
whose existing and projected Railways an unlimited flow of commer-
cial and passenger-traffic to and from this country will necessarily be
created ; whilst the important and populous districts traversed by the
line (as yet unprovided with the means of railway communication)
will derive all the vast advantages of the most speedy internal, as
well as foreign intercourse.
The line is now being surveyed, on the completion of which a de-
tailed prospectus, with the names of the Provisional Committee and
the amount of capital required, will be published; and in the mean-
thne applications for further information may be addressed to W.
Scott, Esq., at the Offices of the Company, 63, Moorgate-street.

The line of Railway proposed between Uttoxeter and Dudley has
been undertaken at the suggestion of several influential parties, as
combining (without being a competing line with any railway at pre-
sent made) all the advantages of several projected lines, with addi-
tions of no ordinary value. The town of Uttoxeter, in the Dove Val-
ley, is itself the centre of a rich agricultural district, supplying al-
ready the markets of Dudley, Tipton, Walsall, Bilston, and Wednes-
bury, with cheese cattle, and agricultural produce, but by a very
expensive and dilatory mode of transit. All the proposed lines
communicating with Manchester, London, and the Potteries,
must necessarily pass to or near Uttoxeter. Already the Chur-
net Valley, Derby and Stafford, Derby and Crewe, Teals,
and Dove Valley, North Staffordshire, Manchester Direct Inde-
pendent, Leicester and Ashby lines of railway, project a station at
Uttoxeter. Assuming either of these former, or some equivalent, to
pass this will be the best route from Manchester, Macclesfield, the
Potteries, Hull, Sheffield, and the north to the mineral districts of
South Staffordshire, and to Kidderminster, Worcester, and South
Wales. By the Leicester and Ashhy line, which will communicate
by its, branch to Uttoxeter, traffic of great part of the east of
England will be available for Staffordshire and the west.
Commencing at Uttoxeter, the line will be carried over
favourable ground to Abbott's Bromley, thence to Rugeley, where
it will fall into the Trent Valley Railway Station, by Channock
Chase, along the Rising Brok Valley, to Hednesford, and thence by
Walsall across the Grand Junction Railway, through Wednesbury
and the mineral districts of South Staffordshire to Dudley ; there it
will join all those railways that will connect the Staffordshire coal-
field with Worcester, Ludlow, and Porthdynllaen on the south-west,
Aberystwith, Merthyr Tydvil, Swansea, Hereford, on the west and
south. In fact, it will unite by the nearest route the east and west
of England.
The line will fall into and cross the Trent Valley, Midlands, and
Grand Junction Railway at Walsall, and from Cannock afford direct
communication with Wolverhampton (where it will run into the
broad gauge railway) from Leeds, and Huddersfield, and the north
and east of England. _ _

The populatiOn on the line exceeds 300,000, and the ordinary traffic
arising from internal sources alone is sufficient to maintain the rail-
way, and afford more than ample remuneration to the shareholders.
As a junction line (with the present immensely increasing public
favour to railway travelling) it is scarcely possible to compute tb
amount of passenger traffic, but it must necessarily be very great.
Since this line was registered, a company has been formed for ex-
tending it by a junction at Uttoxeter, to Huddersfield, Leeds, and
Sheffield, by way of Ashbourn, and by this means immense mines of
lead, iron, stone, and coal of Derbyshire, the products of the paint
manufactories and barytes works at Ashboume, Cromford, &c., will
be opened, and with those already m work, find a ready transit to
Walsall and Birmingham, Dudley, and Wolverhampton. The in-
crease of passengers, attracted by ready means of conveyance to the
romantic country of Dovedals, and the High Peak, will be necessarily
very great.

The copper, ore, lime, and coal, abounding in the Caldon and the
Ribden mines, will be transmitted by this line to the manufacturing
districts of Staffordshire, Warwickshire, and South Wales, and it will
afford a direct communication between Leeds, Huddersfield, and
Southampton, and it will also be the nearest route to Southampton
from Manchester, via Uttoxter, by the London and Manchester
Direct Independent Line, or whatever railway should ultimately
pass between Manchester and London, as forming the shortest route
to the metropolis, a line which, it is now admitted on all hands, must
be carried. _

This Company reserves the right to raise additional capital to com-
plete the line from Dudley to or near the Droitwich station, on the
Birmingham and Gloucester Railway.

The object of this Company is to establish a railway from London to
Exeter direct, through Salisbury and other considerable towns, hither-
to deprived of that great improvement of the age. The most impor-
tant feature, however, of this undertaking will be, that it will establish
an uninterrupted, direct, and sdeedy communication between the me-
tropolis and our largest maritime ports—Plymouth and Falmouth,
and thus form an immediate transit to the extreme part of the west
of England. To the shipping interest, both at home and abroad, this
facility will be of the utmost importance, and if war should unfortu-
nately arise, the advantages of such a line are evidcnt.

upon a sufficiently comprehensive view to afford " a direct organic
communication" with the metropolis: and it is apparent that an en-
tire line, under the management of one Company, is far preferable
to any other communication now available or projected. This line of
railway is offered to the public as affording not only an independent
and direct intercourse between the metropolis, Exeter, and the va-
rious important towns upon it, but will effect a saving of thirty miles
and upwards, in the circuitous and expensive route by Bristol.
The opinion of Sir Robert Peel is particularly applicable to this
project—that the tendency of the improvements which are' almost
daily introduced, was decidedly in favour of the shortest and most
direct lines ; and it is deserving of remark, that when the Wilts and
Somerset Railway Bill (which has lately received the royal sanction)
was before Parliament, its projectors were required to pledge them-
selves that they should not offer hereafter any impediment to a direct
line to Falmouth, being precisely such ass undertaking as the one now
proposed, thereby proving the importance attached by Parliament to
direct communications, and the London and York having obtained
the consent of the House of Commons to their Bill, after a prolonged
opposition, shows the weight attached to direct independent railways.
It is proposed that this railway shall take its course between the
Great Western and the South-Western, as far as Kingsclere—though
it will not in any way interfere with those lines—and is the course
actually suggested by the Board of Trade in its Fourth Report,
sec. 42, by which an opening was made in this very line, stating that
there is nothiag in the present settlement of existing railways to
prevent a shorter or competing line to Exeter being brought forward.
The Direct London and Exeter Company intend to form their ter-
minus in the most central part of London which can be obtained. It
will be in the immediate vicinity of Sloane-street and Knightsbridge.
It is also intended that this Company shall join the railway projected
to cross the Thames, and thus effect ass immediate connexion with a
central terminus at Hungerford-brldge.

From the London terminus the line_ will branch off to or near

Hammersmith, Turnharn-green, Brentford, Isleworth, Hounslow,
Staines, Egham, Bagshot, Ascot, Bracknell, Binfield, Wokingham,
Kingsclere, Andover, and Salisbury ; Shaftesbury, Sherbourne,
Yeovil, Crewkerne, Axminster (or from Salisbury to Cranbourne,
Blandford, Dorchester, Bridport, Axminster), and Iloniton, to Exeter.
The line chosen was nearly the one adopted by the Itomans ; and
as they, whenever practicable, adopted the straight line, the Com-
mittee intend, as nearly as possible, following their example. This
road was also the old mail coach line, until the circuitous course of
the Great Western, in the infancy of railway traffic, diverted the
traffic from it.
The line of this railway will pass through Staines, as before ob-
served; and it is proposed to form a branch to Windsor, it being re-
presented that that mode of immediate communication with the
metropolis will be most congenial to the wishes of the inhabitants of
that town and its vicinity. The Committee are, therefore, desirous
of accomplishing that object, and invite the immediate and active
co-operation of the landholders and inhabitants of Windsor to this
part of their scheme especially.
To the sporting world, also, this undertaking offers a desideratum
which has long been felt ; it is calculated the number of persons
annually visiting Ascot and Egham Races exceeds 250,000 ; this line
will pass in the immediate vicinity of these race-courses; and near
Ascot a handsome and commodious station will be erected for the ac-
commodation of the public. The traffic tables which are now in
course of preparation will, when completed, be published ; but from
the official returns, and other sources which have come within the
Committee's cognisance, a very ample interest for the capital neces-
sary for this undertaking is shown, and as the traffic, from the great
accommodation this railway will aford to every description of pro-
perty in the district through which it will pass, will be greatly in-
creased, so also will be the financial returns.
The rejection of the Bill before Parliament of the Plymouth and
Falmouth line, induces the Committee to propose an immediate ex-
tension of the direct line from Exeter to Falmouth. Prospectuses for
this extension will be published as soon as the plans and survoys are
matured, and in the allotment of shares for this part of the line pre-
ference will be given to the original holders of shares in the Direct
London and Exeter Company, and the landowners on the Falmouth
line.

Since the formation of the Company for making this railway, and
the allotment of the Shares for that part of the line between Chelms-
ford and Bury, the practicability, paramount importance, and supe-
rior advantages of its plan have been so unequivocally recognised by
the Board of Trade, and by the Committee of the House of Commons
for the railways of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, that the Provisional
Committee have determined to now, at once, adopt the extension of
their line, originally projected, from Bury to join the Norwich and
Brandon line at Thetford; thereby to complete the shortest and best
communication between London and Norwich, in the direction of the
old road, through all the chief central towns of Essex and Suffolk,
and at the same time to open a very direct communication with the
great trunk lines of the north and west.
For these important objects, to be secured by an extension of only
12 miles, to connect Bury St. Edmund's and Thetford, the Provisional
Committee propose to increase the capital 250,0001., by the issue of
10,000 additional shares; and, for full particulars of the entire plan,
refer to their original prospectus.
The Chelmsford and Bury line not having been projected in time to
bring it before Parliament in the present session in a substantive form,
it has been but imperfectly, and merely incidentally, in opposing other
lines, that its merits could be at all brought under the notice of the
Board of Trade or of the Committee of the House ; but the strong
impression made, notwithstanding, in its favour, is obviously appa-
rent, both in the reports of the one and in the decisions of the other.
The Board of Trade, in stating the considerations upon which it ad-
vised the rejection of the Norwich Direct line, reported (March 4th,
1845) that "It is necessary to advert to a railway called theChelms-
ford and Bury Railway, projected, but not brought before Parliament,
the plan, and section, and traffic tables of which have been submitted
to the Board of Trade. This railway appears to us to accommodate a
mere populous district than that intended to be traversed by the
London and Norwich Direct Railway. Its section shows that it
may be done at a moderate cost ;" (while) " there is a strong local
feeling in its favour, evinced by the memorials which have been re-
ceived by the Board of Trade from the inhabitants of Braintree,
Halstead, Sudbury, and other places between Chelmsford and Bury."
The Committee of the House of Commons have since not only
rejected the Norwich Direct and Bury and Cambridge lines, but the
Chairman (Lord Sandon), previous to giving a decision against the
Norwich Direct, took occasion to observe that "the Committee was
decidedly in favour of the Chelmsford and Bury scheme."

Mr. William Meyrick, 2, Furnival's Inn, London

The object of this undertaking is to supply railway communication
to the towns and districts lying between the London and Birmingham,
and tke Great Western Railways, giving them the best means of access
to the metropolis, and connecting them also with the Northern and
Diestern lines of railway, as well as with Oxford and the South.
The main line will commence from the London and Birmingham
Railway, near Harrow, and passing to the north of Uxbridge, will
proceed up the Valley by Chalfont, near Amersham and Chesham to
Missenden and Wendover, and thence to Aylesbury ; from which
place it will extend to Buckingham, and passing near Winslow, and
approaching Brackley, will terminate by a Junction with the proposed
Warwickshire and London Railway, near Banbury.
In addition to the line above described, it is intended also to con-
struct a Railway from the central station of the London and Bir-
mingham Railway at Wolverton to Buckingham, and thence through
Bicester to Oxford; and in connexion with the line here proposed,
the Bedford, and London and Birmingham Company, intend to make
a connecting line between Bedford and Wolverton. '
The proposed Buckingham and London and Birmingham Railway
Company (for the construction of a line from Wolverton to Bicester)
is amalgamated with this Company.
Accurate surveys of the country have been taken by Mr. Robert
Stephenson, and it has been ascertained that no engineering difficulty
of importance presents itself.
The undertaking has already received the sanction and support of
a very large proportion of the Nobility, Gentry, and Proprietors of
land through or near whose property it is intended to pass.
It is proposed that these lines should be made with the co-operation,
and under the direction and superintendence of the London and
Birmingham Railway Company; under a lease, in perpetuity, at
four per cent. per aunum on the outlay, with a conditional arrange-
ment as to the surplus profits.
It is intended to offer the shares in such proportion as the amount
of capital will allow of, to the holders of shares in the London
Worcester and South Staffordshire Railway Company, subject to the
approbation of the Committee of Management, with the exception
of such as may be required for parties having local interests.

CHESTER and MANCHESTER DIRECT
RAILWAY.
At a meeting of the Committee of Management of this under-
taking, held this day, it was resolved that, in order to comply with
the standing orders of the House of Lords, as recently altered, it is
expedient to reduce the amount of each share to 201., and to extend
the number to 50,000, and that the deposit required bo 21. 2s. on each
share, and that, in consequence of this alteration in the amount and
number of shares and the deposit required, the period within which
shares must be applied for be extended to the 28th instant for the
London applications, and to the 30th instant for country applications.

The entire line has been partially surveyed, and the essential bene-
fit arising from avoiding the elbow of Bristol been ascertained beyond
a doubt. The plans, sections, and books of reference will be ready
within the time prescribed by the Standing Orders of Parliament,
and application will be made for a Bill to incorporate the Company
early in the next session. The usual power will be taken by the
Act to allow interest at 4/. per cent. per annum, after passing the Act,
on the amount of the subscriptions paid up, and that no subscriber
shall be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the
Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his sub-
scription.
In case Parliament should not sanction the present undertaking,
which every active means will be taken to secure, the money de-
posited, deducting the necessary expenses attending the projection,
will be returned to the shareholders.

The Committee have been in communication with many influential
landowners on the line, from whom promises of support have been
obtained, and earnestly invite the co-operation and assistance of all
parties holding property upon it, desirous of furthering the object in
view, whose names, it is requested, may be communicated to the
Committee or to the solicitor to the Company forthwith.

THE CORN TR ADE.
The critical state of the weather involving the probability of
a deficient and wet harvest, and the consequent serious effects upon
our commercial and monetary affairs are beginning to excite pUot
apprehension. Under such circumstances, correct information as to
the probable produce of the harvest at home and abroad, and u to
the stock ofgrain on band on the continent and in the western wtopd
is of the highest importance. No trouble or expense is spared to
nish such information in the MARK-LANE EXPRESS AND
