While two gigantic projects are struggling for victory, which, if
obtained, would inevitably prove fruitless, the dense and wealthy
population bet Ween 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 1
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 Lincoln, the proposed line will be taken by Saxelby and
Lea to Gaiilsborough, where it will cross the Trent, and thence to
Haxey-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 speeies 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
will emanate from the main trunk to Askern, and either by means
of the proposed branch to the 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
Hull.

The gradients throughout the line are so favourable, that none exceed
1534 feet in the mile, an instance unparalleled, if the length of it be
taken into consideration. There will be no tunnels ; the works will
everywhere 131 light; no invasion of ornamental property is neces-
sary; and the local interests have expressed themselves favourable to
the project.
From the combination of advantages, facilities, and patronage
from the great breadth of new country to be supplied with railway
accommodation—moderate cost of labour on the line—enormous
supply of materials, and encouraging traffic returns—an interest of
ton per cent. on vested capital is confidently expected, exclusive of a
fair allowance for working expenses.
Power will be taken In the Bill to allow interest at the rate of four
per cent. on all deposits.

The plans and sections of the Lincoln, York, and Leeds Company,
being now in the possession of the promoters of this Company, an
immense saving of expense will thereby be gained.

The Directors have the satisfaction to inform their Shareholders
that arrangements have been concluded with the Norfolk Company
for an extension of the line from Wisbeach, via Downham Market,
to Brandon, thus completing an independent line of communication
from Yarmouth and Norwich to Nottingham and the manufacturing
districts, and securing by the alliance the passing of the traffic over
the entire portion of the Grand Union and Extension Line referred
to. The distance between Nottingham and Yarmouth by the pro-
posed extension will be as short as by the Lynn and Dereham and
Lynn and Ely lines, while the traffic to and from the north, from the
central, west, and south parts of Norfolk, the north of Cambridge.
shire, and the counties of Suffolk and Essex, will be secured for the
united undertaking.
The Extension Line will be made by the two Companies jointly,
and the shares will be apportioned amongst the respective share-
holders of each.
It is intended that the Norfolk and Grand Union Companies should
guarantee four per cent dividend, with a division of profits to' the
shareholders of the new line.
The direction will consist of an equal number of gentlemen from
the Norfolk and Grand Union boards, and Mr. Robert Stephenson
will co-operate with Mr. Vignoles as engineer of the line.
Further particulars will be shortly advertised.

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
The importance 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-east 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
course of Railway from the north-eastern parts of the island, requires
the appliance now suggested to effect a complete means of transit to
the western and south-western counties.'
The Oxford and Salisbury Direct Railway, in addition to
the benefits which will be conferred upon the nation at
large, by preferring a direct line of commun'cation . be-
tween the north-eastern and western and south-western
parts of England, will afford to the borough of Abingdon,
the market towns of Wantago, Hungerford, and Ludgershall, and
the adjacent villages, an important railway accommodation, of which
the agricultural districts in which they • are seated stand in much
need, and will provide a facility for the interchange of produce be-
tween tho rural, manufacturing, and commercial population of the
kingdom.

The want of railway accommodation has long been felt to press
unfairly upon the inhabitants of the important and thriving town of
Abingdon. Their means and opportunities of competing with the more
fortunate traders of those towns which are already provided with di-
rect channels of transit, are thus severely crippled. The same remark
applies in some degree to the market town of Vantage, which, as
well as Hungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits
and advantages produced by railway traffic.
It has therefore been determined to commence the proposedli 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 Vantage, the
same facility of transit to London will be afforded to that place; and
a perfect line of road from the north-eastern counties will, by a junc-
tion with the projection from Cambridge to Oxford, be produced,
through the towns which have been named, Ilungerford and Ludgers-
hall to Salisbury, and thence to tke 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, further information may be ob-
tained from. Messrs. Elmslie and Preston, 47, Moorgate-street,

tion for olowes may be made.

This railway is intended to commence at the east part of the city
of Exeter, neat St. Sidwells, and after passing through Topsham,
with a fork at Woodbury by Lympstone to Exmouth, will proceed, in
an easterly direction, towards Sidmouth, and thence, near Colyton,
Beer, Seaton, Axmouth,- Lyme Regis, and Charmouth, to Bridport.
At Bridport the line will divide, taking the course direct to Dor-
chester, to join the Southampton and Dorchester Railway, and the
other, passing near Bridport harbour and Abbotsbury to Weymouth.
At Exeter, junctions will be formed with the Bristol and Exeter and
North Devon Railways, and at Exmouth with the South Devon, by
means of their steam ferry, thus making the most direct route to
Plymouth from London. Also at Dorchester and Weymouth it will
be connected with the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, as well as
with the Dorchester and Southampton at Dorchester.
It will be seen, on reference to the map, that by forming a junc-
tion with the lines of coast railway that have already been con-
structed or commenced from Exeter westward, and friar Dorchester
eastward, and by following the coast as nearly as is practicable be-
tween its termini, this line will effectually complete a railway com-
munication from Dover to the Land's End, an undertaking in itself
ofgreat national importance, and likely to meet with the cordial sup-
port of the Government.
In fixing the course which this Railway will take, it has been the
carefld consideration of the Promoters to project caliy such a Line as
will afford the greatest facility of communication to the populous and
important towns and fashionable watering places which are situated
on and near that part of the Coast which this Railway is particu-
larly meant to accommodate; whilst, at the same time, the Agri-
cultural, Manufacturing, and Commercial Interests of this part of
the Kingdom have been equally studied.
This Line will also open such additional means of eemmanleation
to the Port of Weymouth, the large Manufacturing Town and Har-
bour of Bridport, and the Harbour of Lyme Regis, as must even-
tually replace them in that high position, when compared with the
other Ports of the Kingdom, which they formerly held. The Water-
ing Places of Exmouth, Budleigh-Salterton, Sidmouth, Charmouth,
Lyme-Regis, Weymouth, &c., will be thus thrown open to every part
of England and Wales, and accommodated with that facility of ac-
cess which they alone require to place them on an equal position
with other favourite places of resort, for which the picturesque In-
land and bold Coast-Scenery of Devonshire and Dorsetshire is pre-
eminently proverbial, and justly entitles them to hold.
The following extract from the Report of the Select Committee of
the House of Lora on the " Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Rail-
way," made on the 18th of June, 1345, will show the sense enter-
tained by that body of the importance of a line of railway in the di-
rection proposed by the present Company :—" In making their re-
port, the Committee feel it their duty to state that the great diffi-
culty with them, in deciding on the Bill referred to them, had arisen
from the fear they entertained whether, in allowing the Groat
Western Railwa might ome down to the sea at Weymouth, or even be-
low Yeovil, they not be creating a difficulty as to making a
railway in the most desirable manner to Falmouth, the most westerly
port in the Channel."
The great importance of this railway may be further estimated,
from a consideration of the fact that the local population which would
be benefited by its construction exceeds two hundred thousand
persons.
And also that Weymouth, which will be one of the termini of the
line, is about to become a great Nationil Harbour of Refuge and
Packet-station, by the construction of a breakwater in Portland
Roads, in accordance with the recommendation of the Government
Commissioners, for which purpose a grant was made during the last
session of Parliament for commencing the works. The additional
population and traffic, which will thus be attracted to this port, will
be very considerable.
A preliminary survey has been made, and there are no peculiar
engineering difficulties. The length of the main line, ftom Exeter to
Dorchester, will be about fifty-two miles; and of the Forks, or exten-
sions, to Weymouth, and Exmouth, about sixteen miles ; making, in
the whole, sixty-eight miles of railway.
The sentiments of the landowners are favourable to the construc-
tion of a railway calculated, as this is, very greatly to benefit their
properties, and in the allotment of shares preference will be given
to the applications of persons locally interested.
Estimates of the traffic have been carefully prepared by the pro-
moters of the line, from 'which it is evident that an ample re-
turn will be obtained for the investment of capital in the undertak-
ing. More detailed traffic tables will, however, be forthwith com-
piled, as required by the Committees of both Houses of Parliament.
The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow
interest at 4/. per cent. on the amount of deposit and calls from tke
passing of the Act until the completion of the line, and the liability
of Shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions.
Applications for copies of the prospectus, and for shares, may be
made to the Secretary, at the Company's Offices, 62, Moor-
gate-street ; to the solicitors and local agents ; also to the fol-
lowing sharebrokers :—Messrs. B. and M. Boyd, 4, New Bank-

It appears that England will be divided longitudinally by four great
lines of railway, which will become so many main trunks,
ing and intersected by numerous lines, both transverseandinotelirgeuce,
opening rapid and ready conlMunication with the intermediate dis-
tricts, with packet station, and with seaport towns. The more
easterly of these, which is also the longest, originating at Newcastle-
upon-Tyne, and passing through York, Peterborough, and Cambridge,
may be said to terminate in London, whence all places are accessible.
The second line, counting westward, is more tortuous, and has also
a common northern terminus with the preceding, by which its ad-
vantages are materially restricted. This line, descending the Ere-
wails Vale, and passing through Rugby and Oxford, becomes a South-
ampton line by falling into the South-Western Railway at Basing-
stoke.
The third longitudinal line, or the most westerly, is still more de-
fective in design than the preceding; employing the steep and narrow
railway called the Birmingham and Gloucester as its first link, it
traverses nearly in a right line the least populous and most undulating

The present Company has been formed for the construction of a
line of railway from Madrid to the cityand port of Valencia, the most
central seaport on the Mediterranean. It will open out the re-
sources of an extensive district of country, eastward from the capital,
remarkable for the richness and fertility of Its soil, the varied abun-
dance of its productions, and the commercial spirit of its inhabitants.
This railway is authorised by a special ordinance of her 3lajesty
the Queen of Spain; and from its vast importance as a national route
of intercommunication her Majesty has been pleased to accompany
the grant with all the privileges and immunities which the Crown is
empowered to confer upon a railway company. Amongst these may
be enumerated-
1. A lease of the line and of its branches for 99 years.
2. The gratuitous grant of such Government and corporation lands
as may be required for the railway.
3. The free use of all timber, the property of the State, that may be
necessary for the works, or for other purposes.
4. The exemption for tea years, to be computed from the com-
mencement of the works, of all import duties on the machinery,
rails, and other articles requisite for the completion of the railway.
5. The entire exemption from all national and local taxes that
could otherwise be levied upon the railway, works, or buildings of
any description, and upon the capital represented by the shares.
6. The Government is not to interfere with the Company's tariff
of charges for the space of forty years from the completion of the
works ; and no revision thereof is to take place on the expiration of
that period that can sink the profits below 15 per cent.
7. The line is to be classed, by a special law, under the title of a
" work of public utility," and as such to enjoy the royal patronage
an&protection, and all the peculiar privileges attached to important
national undertakings.
The proposed line, thus largely endowed, is about 240 miles in
length, being upwards of 150 miles nearer the capital than the ports
of Cadiz and the north coast of Spain, and generally nearer than any
other port in the kingdom. Although it has not yet been minutely
surveyed, it is well known that there is no similar district of equal
extent in the kingdom which presents so few engineering difficulties.
For upwards of 80 miles the line will traverse the almost level plain
of Valencia ; and emerging from the boundaries of the province, it
will follow as nearly as possible the course of the rivers which flow
east and west from the central plateau in the province of Cuenca,
and approach Madrid by the valley of the Manzanares. The line
will either pass through or accommodate the most important towns
in the two provinces, which will thus be brought into rapid com-
munication with the capital on the one side, a seaport on the other.
This railway will be the means of supplying Madrid, containing
300,000 inhabitants, entirely dependent for provisions upon the con-
tiguous provinces, at a cheap rate, with the rich products of the pro-
vinces of Valencia, which abounds in most valuable mines, and is
beyond comparison the most fertile district of Spain.
Valencia, brought by this communication within ten 'hours' dis-
tance of the chief market of Spain, must necessarily become the
port at which all vessels with supplies for the metropolis will unload,
and the centre of the coasting trade along the whole sea-line from
Barcelona to Gibraltar.
The traffic in passengers and goods now existing between Madrid
and Valencia has been correctly ascertained, showing the following
results :
The annual number of passengers travelling between
Madrid and Valencia, and the intermediate towns, is
upwards of 42,000 ; but taking that number at tho
present cost of conveyance by stage coaches, private
carriages, galeras, and waggons, the amount will be £67,800
