GREAT NORTH OF FRANCE RAIL-
WAY.
(ROSAMEVS COMPANY.)
A paragraph having appeared in the French Newspapers stating
that this Company is about to form itself into a CompenY for the
purpose of Tendering for the Paris and Lyons EMl*ay, and the Eng-
lish Provisional Committee having in toniZquence received numerous
applications from the Shareholdtrs, think it necessary to state that it
is not their intention tO form a Company for the Line in question.

ELY and BURY ST. EDMUNDS itAILWAY.
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.

(PROVISIONALLY REGISTERED.
C 0 RN WALL and D EVON CENTRAL RAIL-
WAY, from EXETER to FALMOUTH and PENZANCE,
with branches to Plymouth, Tavistock, Bideford, Barnstaple, and St.
Austell, forming, in continuation of the London and South Western—
London, Salisbury, and Yeovil—and Exeter, Yeovil, and Dorchester
Railways, a direct lino from London to Exeter, Falmouth and
Penzance. _ . _

The Line will commence :by a Junction at Ely with the Eastern
°unties, Lynn and Ely, and Ely and Huntingdon Railways, and
willterminate at Bury by a Junction with the Ipswich and Bury
Railway.

E. L. DE PREZ, Secretary.

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 to Ipswich, Colchester,
and Bury, and all that portion of the kingdom, a direct communica-
tion 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.

• PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
rr HE MANCHESTER, HUDDERSFIELD,
A. BARNSLEY, and GOOLE JUNCTION' RAILWAY.

(Provisionally Registered.)

The Legislature ha;ring, during the recent session, sanctioned the
making of a railway from Huddersfield to Manchester, the long-de-
sired object of opening a direct line of railway communication. from
Manchester to the Port of Goole, passing through the Saddleworth
and Marsden Valleys, now presents itself.

Cornwall
Sir Joseph Sawle G. Sawle, Bart., Penrice, Cornwall
Sir Henry Paul Seale, Bart., Mount Boon, Dartmouth, on the Pro-
visional Committee of the Dartmouth, Torbay, and Exeter Rail-

To accomplish this object, it is proposed to make a railway, com-
mencing at or near the station at Huddersfield of the Huddersfield
and Manchester Railway, proceeding through the Kirkburton and
Shelley Valleys, and thence by way of, or near, Barnsley, to Goole.

By the proposed railway, and the intended fluddersfield and Man-
chester Railway, there would be then established one continuo's
line of railways between the Irish Sea and the German Ocean, pass-
ing through Manchester, and connecting the two ports of Liverpool
and Goole; and also several important and populous manufacturing
districts would have the benefit of railway communication, for which
no provision has yet been made by any existing Company, or pro-
posed by any scheme now before the public.
The proposed line would cross the ;North Midland Railway at or
near Cudworth Station, opening a direct communication southwards.

The Portion of the line between Huddersfield and the North MM-
land Railway would pass through or near several of the most ex-
tensive and celebrated coal •fields in Yorkshire ; and the other part
of the line would afford :increased means of attaining the valuable
limestone of Knottingley.
The country through which the line woul I pass generally is of a
favourable character, and presenting few (if any) engineering diffi-
culties; but a survey is now being made, and, when completed, a
detailed Prospectus, with the names of a most influential Provisional
Committee, consisting of landowners, merchants, manufacturers,
and others locally interested, will be published. In the meantime
communications may be made to

This Line, which, subject to the decision of the Gauge Commis-
sioners, will be constructed on the Broad Gauge principle, will com-
mence at the Worcester Station of the Great Eastern and Western
Railway, and, proceeding by Redditch and Henley-in-Arden, will
touch Warwick and Leamington, and end at Rugby, the terminus of
the Midland Counties Railway and of the proposed Rugby and Hunt-
ingdon Junction Railway. It will communicate with Droitwich,
Studley, Alcester, and Stratford-on-Avon.
At Warwick, it will unite with the Birmingham and Oxford Junc-
tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon-
don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway • and at
Rugby, with the London and Birmingham, the Midland Counties,
and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railways.
The country through which it will pass, is thickly populated, and
of the richest description. It presents no engineering difficulties, and
from its population, its manufactures, and agricultural produce, it
possesses sources of such abundant traffic as to render it highly re-
munerative to the Capitalists.
The object proposed is to complete the line of railway communica-
tion between the Western, Midland, and Eastern portions lof the
Kingdom, and a glance at the Map of England will show that this
will be effected in the most direct manner by the present line ; touch-
ing, as it will, at one of its termini, a railway running direct from
Swansea to Worcester, and at the other, the projected line from
Rugby to Huntingdon—from which point a railway communication
has been already provided.
By means of this Railway, the manufactures of all the towns and
the agricultural produce of the country contained within its range,
as well as the Ports on the Eastern and North-Eastern Coast, will
have opened to them a direct and unbroken communication with
the great and densely-populated mineral fields of New South Wales,
as well as the markets of the markets of the Northern portion of the
principality.
The advantages of a direct railway carriage over the more
tedious process of carriage by water, to say nothing of the economy
in saving the expense, as well as the damage incident to many kinds
of goods by the frequent transhipment required by the latter, are
too obvious to demand more than this slight allusion.

To the population: along the line as well as to the Midland and
Northern portions of the kingdom, this undertaking will present the
most direct communication with those towns of fashionable resort—
Leamington and Cheltenham. To the inhabitants of Leamington
and Warwick, it will open the most direct communication with the
city of Worcester and South Wales, whilst to the inhabitants of
Worcester, it will open the markets of the Eastern portions of the
country.
The Shareholders in the several railways proposed to be joined or
intersected, will have a preference in the allotment of shares in this
undertaking.
No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the Act is
obtained, and power will be applied for to allow Interest at four
pounds per centum on all calls from the time of their respective
payments, and to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount
of their subscription.
