L Y and BURY ST. EDMUNDS RAILWAY.
J A Company is in the course of formation for the construction
of a Railway from the city of Ely to the town of Bury St. Edmunds.
The line will commence by a junction at Ely with the Eastern
Counties, Lynn and Ely, and Ely and Huntingdon Ralways, and will
terminate at Bury by a junction with the Ipswich and Bury Railway.
Its object is to preserve the mercantile connexion which has for
generations subsisted between the county of Suffolk, the town of Bury,
and the port of Lynn, and to afford Ipswich, Colchester, and Bury,
and all that portion of the kingdom a direct commtnication with the
manufacturing districts.
The distance from Bury, and consequently from all places eastward
of that town to Peterborough, the point at which so many lines pass-
ing from the south and east to the north and north-west converge,
will by the Ely and Bury line be ten miles shorter than the route to
that city by way of Cambridge.
A detailed Prospectus will be issued immediately.

mIDLAND, BARNSLEY, DEWSBURY,
LEEDS, AND BRADFORD, RAILWAY.

. • Provisionally Registered.
The object of this Line is to make a short and direct communica-
tion between Bradford, Cleckheaton, Heckmondwike, and Dewsbury,
with Barnsley, Sheffield, and all intermediate places to London. By
the present route from London, the Sheffield and Barnsley passengers
and goods are brought by way of Normanton, a distance of 12% miles
from BarnsleY, and then either by Leeds to Bradford, a distance of
at least 20 miles, or by the Leeds and Manchester Liue to Brighouse,
a.distaxiee of at least 20 miles, making the total distance from Barnsley
to Bradford,- by Leeds, 32 miles, and by the Manchester line, 42
miles. The distance from Dewsbury to Barnsley, by the present
Railway, is 22 miles. The promoters of this line propose to cont-
inence this Railway by a junction with the North Midland line, at a
point below Barnsley, to Barnsley, and from thence in a direct course
to Dewsbury, reserving to themselves the power of making the line
to Bradford through the Cleekheaton Valley, provided the West

Riding Junction and West Yorkshire amalgamated Companies do not
at the next session of Parliament apply to make that part of the line.
The line at Dewsbury will make a junction with the Leeds and Dews-
bury Railway, West Riding Junction, and West Yorkshire
Amalgamated Scheme, and the present Manchester and Leeds Rail-
way, at or near a place called Thornhill Lees, making the distance, as
the crow files, to be as follows
Barnsley to Bradford..
Barnsley to Dewsbury .......
Barnsley to Leeds •.. . ...
This line will, therefore, effect the following saving in distances :
To Derby, London, &c. from Bradford, about.. 11 miles.
To Barnsley from Bradford....
To Sheffield from Bradford ....
To Barnesley from Dewsbury..
To Barnsley from Leeds .

........ 19 miles.

The proposed line, in conjunction with the Leeds and Dewsbury,
West Riding Junction and West Yorkshire Railways, will bring, by
the shortest route, to the populous manufacturing districts between
Barnsley, Dewsbury, and Bradford, the traffic from Leicester, Derby,
London, &c.
This Railway will also open one of the richest coal districts in the
kingdom.
If the present'Hull and Barnsley Junction Railway project should be
obtained, this Railway will be a direct line to Hull. And in conjunc-
tion with other projects now before the public, will be a direct line,
from Sheffield, Barnsley, Dewsbury, &c., to the North.
When the survey is completed a detailed prospectus, with the names
of the Provisional Committee, will be published. The Capital re-
quired for the undertaking to be divided into Shares of 201. each, and
two guineas deposit will then also be announced.
Applications for Shares may be made to Charles Robert Scholes,
Registered Solicitor to the Company, Dewsbury; or to Messrs. Sud-
low, Sons, and Torr, Solicitors, 20, Chancery-lane, London.

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 Frodsharn, 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
railwy communication between the capitals of Ireland and of Eng-
land. a
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
18
,
while the proposed line is only 34 miles, saving in the one case
miles, and in the other 12 miles, besides the serious inconvenience, loss
of time, and expense of passing through Liverpoolan
, d croising 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
'hester 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
nvestigated, 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 Chester, was then fully and
clearly established.
The entrance channel would commence at Davrpool, which is easy
of access (and infinitely preferable, 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
:ill 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 advantagmpes. 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, tot
eshe ma d
-
nufacturing districts, free of the heavy port charges, ,an
risks to which the produce is now subject. It has not been thought
advisable to combine the two objects in one company at present,
but 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,
ores 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 convinient outport of Manchester, and will be quite inde-
pendent of any associations or influences that might tend to oppose
the growing desire for a means 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 fbrmation. Power is reserved to the Committee to de-
viate from the proposed line in the vicinity of Manchester. should
ulterior arrangements render it expedient.

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, arid that the deposit required be 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.

Steps were taken about three months past for the formation of this
Company, and applications were received for a large number of
Shares ; but before proceeding to an allotment, the Committee and
the Projector deemed it advisable to have direct information from
Jamaica on subjects connected with the line—the probable cost of the
land through which it would pass—the engineering difficulties, if any
—and other matters connected with the line. They have received
this information and set it forth herewith.
The Provisional Directors have now determined to bring the Com-
pany forward, and to extend the line as far as Aunotta Bay : the

•
At the latter place it will join the line intended to be formed to
Kingston, and thus unite the most populous and rich districts of the
North with the South by a junction With the Jamaica Junction and
South Midland Line, and the capital and shipping port of Kingston,
and afford a quick and cheap mode of transit for passengers and
goodwill
eseukly one, under the present sys-
tem the means of a daily corn-
tem ; and whilst these facilities will be offered, it bias fair to prove
;ataionnd,bayt
highly beneficial to the Shareholders : for when it is considered that
isc
the existing difficulties of approach from one town to another (no
the
mail or stage coaches running), and also the badness of many of the
,saininsetetiaduloci
harbours and inlets, are such as to retard the shipment of the pro-
duce of the soil and merchandize ; it may be fair to presume that
a large portion of it will find its way to and from Kingston for sale or
shipment.
This Company is formed to obviate these difficulties, and to offer
this cheap and certain means of conveying passengers and" goods, and
to open a more general communication, and thus promote the inte-
rest of the landowner, the planter, the agriculturist, the merchant,
and' all other classes of persons, and the very valuable island in
general.
The Directors are authorised to state that they anticipate every
support and patronage from the Governor and Legislature of the
island; and they wish to establish a perfect understanding be-
tween this and the other companies already formed, and, with this
view, they offer to give a preference of shares, to the extent of one
share for every two, held in the original Kingston and Spanish Town
Line, and the like proportion to the holders of shares in the Jamaica
Junction and South Midland Lines, Provided they apply for them on
or before the 3d of September.
A reserve of shares will be made for persons resident in Jamaica.
The applicants for shares under the former prospectus are at
liberty to withdraw their letters of application, or to permit theta to
remain for consideration under the present plan.

NEWRY and ENNISKILLEN RAILWAY
COMPANY.

At the FIRST GENERAL of this COMPANY, held
in pursuance of the Act of Ineorporat:on, at the Company's Office in
Newry, on Wednesday, the 20th August, 1845, •
THOMAS G. IIENRY, Esq., J.P., in the Chair,
_ _ .

the Secretary read the notice of the Ist instant, published in the pre-
scribed newspapers, calling this meeting. . . .

The secretary also read the following report of the Provisional
Committee :
"REPORT TO THE FIRST ORDINARY MEETING.

" The Provisional Committee, in submitting to the proprietors the
following statement, have to congratulate them on the success which
has attended the efforts made for the formation of the Company, and
obtaining the Act of Incorporation, which received the royal assent
on the 21st of July last.
The Committee, when Appointed in October last, had much diffi-
culty to contend with, in consequence of the shortness of the period
within which the Company, then only projected, had to be formed—
the capital to be subscribed for•--the surveys to be made—and the
other steps to be taken, so as to bring the undertaking before the
Board of Trade, and properly prepared for the opposition which
there was every reason to expect in Parliament from other com-
panies, whose preparations were then far advaneed.
Having prepared and issued the prospectus of the Company, your
Committee immediately proceeded to look for the necessary profes-
sional assistance, and were fortunately able, after some little delay,
to secure the services of gentlemen of experience, well qualified
for the duties to be performed; and your Committee feel it due tc
them to state that they devoted themselves zealously to the business,
and their exertions have conduced, In a great degree, to the
success of the undertaking.

" A deputation from the Committee proceeded to London, and
with the assistance of the solicitors there, established a highly in-
fluential London Committee, who cordially co-operated with the de-
putation; and, by their continued attention, have most effectually
promoted the interests of the Company.
" The Committee, in many communications with the Board of
Trade, strongly urged the merits of their case, but were disap-
pointed in their expectations, on finding that Board d. termined
to report, as they afterwards did, against the construction of
that part of the line between Newry and Armagh, under the erro-
neous impression that the Dublin and Belfast Junction Railway
(then also under their Consideration) would afford sufficient
accommodation to the town of Newry. Your Committee, however,
being convinced that adequate accommodation could not be so af-
forded, and that the interests, not only of the town of Newry, but of
the public in general, required a direct Railway from Newry to
Armagh, considered it their duty to proceed in Parliament for the
entire line, according to the original prospectus; and, notwithstand-
ing the report of the Board of Trade and the powerful opposition of
rival companies, the propriety of the course taken has been fully
established by the result of the contest, in the progress of which it
was distinctly proved, to the satisfaction of the Committee of the
House of Commons, that a due regard to the public convenience de-
manded the entire railway projected by the Newry and Enniskillen
Railway Company, and that the undertaking would be remunerative
to the proprietors, taking into account only the existing traffic be-
tween the termini, and without giving credit for the increase which
might fairly be expected from the construction of other lines of rail-
way, and for some of which Acts have since been obtained.
" Your Committee feel bound to state, that, at great personal
inconvenience, a deputation from their body, consisting of Mr. John
Boyd, Mr. Lyle, Mr. Jennings, and Mr. Irvine, proceeded to London,
where the three last-mentioned gentlemen remained from their
homes and business, actively engaged for the advantage of the
Company, during a period of several months, and until the success
of the measure was secured. In mentioning the services by indivi-
duals the kind assistance and untiring exertions of that lamented
Nobleman,-the late Marquis of Downshire, must be especially noticed,
as well as the great advantages the Company have derived from the
support and personal attendance of the present Marquis, and the in-
defatigable exertions, both in and out of Parliament, made by the
Viscount Newry and Morrie. The Committee regret, that from the
short interval allowed by Parliament to elapse between the passing
of the Act, and the first general meeting of the Company, they have
been unable to get in all the accounts, so as to be in a situation to
present a detailed statement of the funds, and that they can, at pre-
sent, only state, that after discharging such accounts as have been
rendered, and making paying to the engineers, solicitors, and Par-
liamentary agent, on account of their claims, they have a balance
in hands of over 24,0001. ; and recommend to the incoming
Directors that they immediately proceed to ascertain and settle
the outstanding liabilities, and; with as little delay as possible, pre-
pare and submit to the Proprietors their detailed account.
"Your Committee have felt the necessity of maintaining a cordial
intercourse between the English and Irish Shareholders, who are
mutually interested in the success of this important work, and ar-
rangements have been accordingly entered into for continuing a
London Committee, which cannot fall to have the effect of securing,
by en interchange of advice and co-operation, the best interests of the
Shareholders at large.
"Your Committee have, further, to report that the necessary
investigations are being actively proceeded with, under the directions
of the engineer, for the construction of the line ; and that, having
regard to the present state of the funds of the Company, the Com-
mittee do not think that it will be necessary to make an early call
upon the Proprietors.
" The election of thirteen Directors and two Auditors, for'the en-
suing year, is the business for which the first ordinary meeting has
been called, pursuant to the Act of Parliament."
Resolved—On the motion of Mr. JOHN HANCOCK, seconded by Mr.

P. MunritY:—

That the report now read be adopted and printed, and circulated
among the Shareholders.
The following noblemen and gentlemen were then elected Directors
for the year :
The Viscount Newiy and Morns, Lord Edwin Hill, the Hon. John
zell, Francis Carvil, Thomas G. Henry, and Hill Irvine, Esqrs.
Mr. George Scott and Mr. James M'George were elected Auditors.

This railway will commence at the city of Worcester, proceeding by
the fashionable watering-place of Great Malvern to, the increasing
market town of Ledbury, whence it will be carried through the fertile
district of Much Marcie and Dymock, within an easy distance of
Newent to Ross, a distance of about 28 miles.
At this latter celebrated resort for visitors, it is intended to join the
Monmouth and Hereford and South Wales Railways, the Bills for
on of which leave received the Royal Assent during the
the completion
last session; and a reference to the map will demonstrate that this
project will not only become a valuable addition to these important
lines, but will supply the only link wanted to complete a direct main
trunk railway between South Wales (embracing the Ports of Fish-
guard, Pembroke, Llanelly, Swansea, Neath, Cardiff, and Newport),
and Worcester, South Staffordshire, Birmingham, Liverpool, and the
North.
Applicants for Shares, who are personally known to the Members
of the Provisional Committee, are requested to refer to one of such
Committee ; all other applicants will be required to give a reference
to some banker or other person of known respectability in London,
or the town from which the application is made.
The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest at four
per cent. per annum on the amount of subscription paid up, and no
subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his de-
posit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond his subscription.

EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY COMPANY.
The Directors of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, observ-
ing that, in the Advertisements of the Chelmsford and Bury Railway
Company, it is stated that their particular line is supported and
sanctioned by the Eastern Counties Railway Company, have to an-
nounce that no such support or sanction has been given.
The Company's engineer, Mr. Robert Stephenson, has been In-
structed to examine the entire district, and to advise upon the line
of railway to be constructed through it, which the Eastern Counties
Railway Company must sanction as most conducive to public inte-
rest. By order of the Board,
A BULKELEY, Secretary.

THE DIRECT LONDON AND HOLYHEAD
AND PORT DYNLLAEN RAILWAY.

(Provisionally Registered).

The public is respectfully informed that a Company is in course of
formation for establishing a direct communication between London
and Holyhead and London and Port Dynllaen, thereby effecting
the shortest possible communication between London, Birmingham,
and the centre of England, and Dublin and the whole of Ireland,
On reference to the Railway Map of Ireland it will be seen that
most of the lines in that country converge either at Dublin or Wick-
low, the former being nearly in a direct line with Holyhead and the
latter with Port Dynllaen. This undertaking will therefore unite in
one main lina the whole of the Irish traffic to this country ; and when
the system of railway communication in Ireland is complete, will
doubtless obtain a very large proportion of the American passenger
traffic which will then pass by Port Dynllaen and Wicklow to Va-
lentia Bay as the nearest point to the United States and our North
American colonies. _

The present line is in effect nearly identical with that recom-
mended by the Government Commissioners in their reports on the
communication between London and Dublin, and which was then
surveyed with much care; making allowances, however, for the al-
tered circumstances that have since occurred by the increase of
railways in this country, and availing itself as far as possible of ex-
isting or contemplated lines. . .

It is intended to proceed by the London and Birmingham Railway
to Birmingham, and thence by one of the now projected lines to
Shrewsbury, or another course will be by the London and Binning-
ham, Trent Valley, Trent Valley and Shrewsbury Railways to the
same point, where this railway commences, and proceeds in the
most direct practicable course to a point near Balla, where the line
forks ; one branch proceeding to Bangor, where it unites with the
Chester and Holyhead and North Wales Railways, employing the
former line to Holyhead, and thus avoiding the enormous expense
entailed by crossing the 3fenai Starts ; the other branch proceeding
through a district rich in slate, stone, minerals, &c., by Tremadoc to
Port llynllaen, whero it will also unite with the North Wales
Railway, which will prove a valuable adjunct td the present
ptoject.
The importance of the undertaking, not only to the great com-
panies to which it will prove so important a feeder, but also in a
national point of view, as effecting a most considerable saving of

time and. expense on the route to Dublin and the coast of Ireland,
are too great to be overrated, and too obvious to be required to be
insisted upon. It is clear that the traffic must be unusually large,
and from the surveys made there appears no doubt that the line can
be constructed at an average cost.

Full particulars, with the names of a most influential Provisional
Committee, will be published as soon as a correct estimate of the
requisite capital is obtained, and in the meantime no applications for
