ELY and BURY ST. EDMUNDS RAILWAY.
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
°unties, Lynn and Ely, and Ely and Huntingdon Railways, and
illterminate 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 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.
THE MANCHESTER, HUDDERSFIELD,
BARNSLEY, and GOOLE JUNCTION RAILWAY.
(Provisionally Registered.)
The Legislature having, 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.
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 th 3 proposed railway, and the intended Huddersfield and Man-
chester Railway, there would be then established one continuous
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 Mil-
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 wool 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 complettd. a
detailed Prospectus, with the names of a most influential Provisional
Committee, consisting of landowners, merchPnts, manufacturers,
and others locally interested, will be published. In the meantime
communications may be made to

PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE.
•

The Committee of Management have determined, with the powers
given them by the deed of the Company, to relinquish the branch
from Ludlow to Newtown, which will form a necessary part of the
Worcester and Port Dynllaen line projected by the Great Western
Railway Company, and to reduce their proposed capital from
1,250,0001. to 1,000,0001.
As the new standing order of the House of Lords will require 10
per cent. of the proposed capital to be deposited, the Committee have
also determined, in order to obviate the necessity of a further call on
Shareholders before going to Parliament, to distribute the capital
into shares of 25/., deposit 21. 123. 6d. ; allowing holders of the pre-
sent 501. shares to receive twice as many 25/. shares, or any smaller
number they may wish (subject to approval of the names by the
Committee where their shares were not originally allotted to them),
or if any should wish to withdraw, returning them the deposits of
2/. 15s. per share which have been paid up.
All holders of scrip certificates, or of bankers' receipts, are requested
to forward the same to the Secretary on or before SATURDAY, the 20th
of September, and to state at the same time their wishes with respect
to new Shares, by letter in the form below. All holders of Shares
not originally allotted to them, failing to transmit their scrip certifi-
cates on or before that day, will forfeit all benefit of their Shares, and
original Shareholders, failing by the same day to transmit their scrip
certificates or bankers' receipts, will forfeit their right to an additional
number of Shares. Where the scrip certificates or bankers' receipts
are forwarded by ,post, the letter should be registered at the post-
office ; the Secretary will acknowledge their receipt.
The Shrewsbury and Hereford line will be made in cordial co-
operation with the Great Western and South Wales Companios ; and
the Committee are happy to be able to announce that the surveys are
being actively proceeded with.
SIR, —I hereby transmit scrip certificates of the Shrewsbury, Here-
ford, and North Wales Railway Company, Nos. , [or a banker's
receipt for shares,] and I desire to have 251.
shares in the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway Company, under-
taking to pay the additional sum required to make a deposit of
21. 12s. 6d. on each of these shares, and to sign the subscribers'
agreement and Parliamentary contract when required, [or, to receive
back the deposits which have been paid.]

RUGBY, DERRY, AND MANCHESTER
RAILWAY, THROUGH LEEK.
(Provisionally registered, pursuant to 7th and Sth Vic., c. 110.)
Capital, 1,500,0001. in 60,000 Shares of 251. each.
Deposit 11. 7s. 6d. per Share.
In deference to the representations of a deputation from Leek, it
has been decided that the Ruzby, Derby. and Manchester Railway
shall pass through Leek, in place of a branch, as originally designed
and advertised. _ _

The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Riilway is a direct line from
London to Manchester, coming from London to Rugby, along the
London and Birmingham line, and proceeding from Rugby by Hinck-
ley, through Market Bosworth, and Ashby-de-la-Zouch, to Derby,
thence to Ashboume, by Leek, to Macclesfield, and along the Mac-
clesfield and Stockport, and Stockport and Manchester Railways
into Manchester.

A branch to Buxton is in contemplation.
The principle of this railway is to obtain a direct through line be-
tween some of the most important districts in the kingdom with the
least possible amount of new railway, and 4onsequently the smallest
expenditure of capital.
It will also establish the shortest direct communication between
Derby and London, Sheffield and London, and between all the towns
on the North Midland Railway and London.
The Manchester, Derby, and Rugby Railway will open a direct
communication between Manchester and Derby, and will consider-
ably shorten the distance between Manchester and Nottingham and
Manchester and Leicester.
The line from Derby to Rugby will establish the direct communi-
cation from that town to London, which has been so long considered
desirable by the inhabitants.
The same will apply to Sheffield, when the Sheffield and Chester-
field branch of the North Midland Railway is made.
THE GREAT ADVANTAGES
of the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway through Leek over
the other projects into Manchester, among others, are—
First, That there are only seventy-five miles of railway to be
made, in place of one hundred and eighty-nine.
Secondly, That it is a more direct line from London to Manchester
than even the proposed direct lines.
Thirdly, That it interferes with no existing railway property or
vested interests. _

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 and 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-
sala ; and as the waste of capital and time, involved in the circuitous
route by Bristol, is greatly complained 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. An
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 this
Central Line, westward, which the Committee of the House of Lords,
pledge themselves not to
EtlaieilywsapyeaCkoomfpianntyhetior report " as the line which
in the Wilts and Somerset Railway Bill, in the late session, obliged
othpepoGserla
aet
nWdeswtheirnch
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
suggested by the House of
Railway, is already morally secured. In order, therefore, to com-
Lploertdse grermetinnsaotinolnyaltopreoletcli hthtusis
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 Westernly 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
westward, has been recently

at a reasonable expense ; the general course being near or through
Crediton, Bow, Hatherleigh, North Tawton, 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 Chacewater, Redruth.
Cambome, Hayle, (with a branch to St. Ives,) Marasion, 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 10/. 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 Traro, eastward, the main line will pass several important
mines ; and near Bodmin will throw out a branch through the China
clay district to St. Austell, and its populous mining neighbourhood.
It will also avail itself of the railways now in process of construction
from Newquay on the north, and Par on the southern Channel;
whilst a connexion with the already constructed railway from Bode
min to Wadebridge, will open, through the port of Padstow, 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.
Passing onward into Devonshire, a branch will be thrown out from
the 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, bo 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,
Brixham, 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, ftom 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 tire recent inquiry before the House ofLords, 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
flirther 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 tire 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 tire line ; and the hearty concurrence
and co-operation of the Associated Companies, the names of whose
members appear in the', Provisional Committee,S leave no doubt
of the successful issue of the application which will be made to Par-
liament in the next session.
The Act to be applied for will contain the usual clauses for limiting
the liabilities of Shareholders to the amount of their subseriptions,
and for allowing interest at 41. per Cent. per annum, on all Calls,
from the time of payment until the opening of the line.

The great and important object of this undertaking is to connect
by a Railway in the most direct route, and of the least expensive
character, the mail and shipping port of Southampton and the port
and harbour of Poole, with Manchester, Liverpool, and the counties
of Lancashire, Yorkshire, Cheshire, Staffordshire, and Warwick-
shire; in fact, with the whole of the cotton, woollen, salt, pottery,
and iron manufacturing and producing districts.
It is not necessary in this case to enter into the question of ex-
pediency or inexpediency of railway communication, the necessity
and advantage of such a measure being obvious and fully admitted.
This line commencing at Cheltenham, to which point railway com-
munication from the north already exists, proceeds to Cirencester
and Marlborough, and then passing down the peopled and fertile
valley of the Avon to Salisbury, meets with the railway now con-
structing by way of Romsey to Southampton ; thus making the dis-
tance to Southampton as short as by any other practicable route,
and saving the construction of twenty-three miles of railway.
From Salisbury it is intended, still pursuing the valley of the Avon,
to continue the line eighteen miles to Ringwood, where, meeting the
Southampton and Dorchester Line, it communicates with Poole and
the country below as far as Dorchester.
About four miles below Marlborough it is intended to make a
branch in the same course as the Kennet and Avon Canal, about
eight miles long, to Devizes.
It has already been stated, that it is not necessary to enter upon
the question of expediency of railway communication with South-
ampton; but it is proper to state why the line here laid down is pre-
ferable to that from Marlborough by way of Ludgershall and An-
dover to that place. The latter is hilly, comparatively barren, and
uninhabited, and consequently expensive, with very little local
traffic ; and would have to depend in a commensurate degree on
the through traffic for support ; it would also be necessary to make
a line the whole distance, there being no existing line with which
it could unite between Marlborough and Southampton. It is also
open to the objection that it runs from Andover to Southampton
parallel with and at a short distance from the South-Western line of
Railway, which must necessarily leave it a very limited amount of
traffic as respects that distance, even if it should not expose it to the
powerful opposition of that company. On the other hand, this line
passing as it does from north to south, through the heart of the
county of Wilts, a distance of fifty miles, unites the whole of that
county. obtains the traffic now existing between its towns, which is
considerable, and affords with the aid of the branch to Devizes and
the existing and projected railways, easy access from all parts of
Wiltshire to the county town of Salisbury, and also to Devizes, the
alternate assize town.

Thus far, the greater advantages of this route as regards the line
to Southampton only have been spoken of, and important as they
are with reference to the interest of the shareholders, and the accom-
modation of the country traversed, a further advantage, not only to
the shareholders but to the public attained by this project, has yet to
be stated.

By the formation of eighteen miles of railway between Salisbury
and Ringwood, passing by the towns of Downton and Fordingbridge,
the port and harbour and the town and county of the town
of Poole are brought within the operation of this comprehensive
scheme. The harbour of Poole admits vessels up to 400 tons
burden ; and it has been confidently asserted by practical men, that
by a small' outlay improvements might be made to admit ships of
the largest size. There are safe and quiet moorings for vessels, with
ample quays and warehouses, and the dues and charges are about
one-twelfth of the ordinary charges at other ports in England. The
existing local traffic alone would, it is calculated, be sufficient to pay
the Shareholders a remunerating dividend on the outlay required for
making the line from Salisbury to Ringwood. In the item of Potter's
Clay alone there are annually shipped for the Potteries upwards
of fifty thousand tons, which, after reaching Liverpool, have
to be transmitted by inland navigation about sixty miles to reach
their destination, at a total cost for carriage of 20s. per ton—every
ton of which would unquestionably be forwarded from Poole by this
railway. The stone of the Isle of Purbeck, vast quantities of which
are used for flagging and building purposes, would find a much more
extensive and ready market in the Interior of the country, if there
were cheaper and more ready and convenient means of trans-
porting it.

Theannouncement of this project has been hailed with the utmost
satisfaction both in the north and throughout every district over
which the line passes, as well as by every Interest identified with it,
or affected by it.

This Line, which, subject to the decision of the Gauge Commis-
sioners, will be constructed on the Broad Gauge p: inciple, '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 wiil 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 ',of 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.

This Company has been constituted in Paris by the active pro-
moters of the French Rosamel Company for the Great North Line,
for the purpose of tendering for the lease of the projected Railway
from Paris to Lyons ; and as it has been thought advisable by them
to obtain English co-operation, the gentlemen above-named as Di-
rectors in England have, at their solicitation, associated themselves
with the undertaking.

The line of railway has been surveyed and laid out by the French
Government.

It is divided into three sections. The first from Paris to Dijon ;
the second from Dijon to Chalon sur Saute ; and the third from Cha-
lon to Lyons.
The construction of the first and third of these is to be under-
taken by the constituted Company. The second is already in an ad-
vanced stage of construction, and will shortly be completed by the
Government, at the charge, however, of the Company.
The line is to be completed in five years at latest from the date of
the adjudication.

The-maximum term for the lease to be tendered for is fixed al
forty-five years.

The privilege of using the railway now making from Lyons to
Avignon is secured, on terms of equality, to such Company as may
obtain the concesson of this line.

The Government reserves to itself the right of redemption at the
expiration of the first fifteen years, reckoned from the end of the five
years allowed for the making cf the line, at a price to be calculated
on an average of the net profits of the five best years of the seven im-
mediately preceding the redemption.
The law confers on the Company all the powers and privileges re-
quisite for carrying the undertaking into effect, and constitutes it a
" Soceite Anonyme," or corporate body.
Applications for shares are to be addressed to the solicitors,
Messrs. Beavan and Anderson, 2, Adelphi-terrace; or to the Secre-
tary, at the offices'of the Company, 14, Old Jewry Chambers, Lon-
