The proposed line le intended to form a connecting line between
the Great Western and the Birmingham Railways, and the most
central part of London, and thus to obviate the serious inconvenienee
arising from the great distance of their respective termini from the
City. It will also meet the expressed wish of the Board of Trade In
favour of a central terminus.

To accomplish this desirable object; the line will commence at the
south-west corner of the new Farringdon-street, passing in a north-
westerly direction to Battle-bridge, and from thence it will proceed
almost in a straight line to the luggage station of the Birmingham
Railway, at Camden-town.

The houses in and about Saffron-hill, and also on the greater part
of the line, are small, and of such a description that their removal
will greatly benefit the neighbourhood, by improving its salubrity,
and Increasing the value of the surrounding property.
The Provisional Committee have satisfied themselves, by careful
surveys, that no engineering difficulties will present themselves in
the construction of this railway, and it may be reasonably expected
to yield a fair profit to the subscribers, as' it is calculated that, by
fares from passengers alone, a return of more than 71. per cent. upon
the capital will be realised, without including what will be received
for ground rents, vault rents, the carriage of goods and cattle, and
also irrespective of the increased •traffic which may reasonably be
anticipated from the lines already formed; or contemplated, to the
north and north-east of London, and 'of which the terminus of this
Company will eventually become the common centre.

NO subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of his subscription,
and power will be taken in the Act of Incorporation to allow 4/. per
cent. interest on deposits and calls, from the period of obtaining the
Act until the completion of the line.

Applications for shares, in the form required by the Registration
Act, as annexed, can be made, addressed to the Company's Solici-

Commencing at a point northward of the Oakley station, on the
Birmingham and Derby portion of the Great Midlands, this railway
will unite with the Trent line, and thence proceed to the towns of
Walsall and Wolverhampton, joining the Grand Junction Railway
and the contemplated lines in the direction of Dudley, Bilston, Kid-
derminster, Stombridge, Stourport, Bewdley, Tenbury. Leominster
and Hereford.
Whilst by these means a communication of great local importance
will be opened- between Nottinghtitn and Derby, Burton, Lichfield
Stafford, the Potteries, and Shrewsbury,—the more important public
necessity will be suppliftl of bringing the producing districts of Lin-
colnshire and Cambridgeshire and the ports of the East of England
into direct contact, by a continuous railway route, with the great
mineral districts of South Staffordshire, the Bristol Channel, and the
ports of South Wales.
The length of railway to be constructed will not exceed thirty
miles, and the distance saved between the towns contiguous to or
beyond the respective termini will be about fifteen.
The country presents no peculiar engineering feature. The line
interferes with no ornamental property, and has the support of the
principal landed proprietors.
In the allotment of Shares provision will be made for landowners
and other local interests, and the residue will be issued to the public,
being shareholders in the Trent Valley Railway Company.
Copies of the _ Prospectus, and forms of application for Shares, with
a map of the proposed line, may be obtained on and after Monday, at
the Company's offices, 68, George-street, Manchester; from Mr.
Birch, at Lichfield ; or at the offices of the Trent Company, 11,

The objects of this undertaking are to provide the shortest prac-
ticable route betwixt the towns of Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds,
and the most direct and independent communication to the Midland
Railway, and thence to the metropolis and the south ; also to open
the rich and extensive coal fields which abound the whole length of
the line.

This project will effect a junction with the Manchester and Leeds
Railway, near to the Wakefield station, and by means of a short
branch, join the Midland Railway near the Oakenahaw station.
. The station of this line at Wakefield will be situate in Westgate, in
the heart of the town, and the railway will pass ftom thence along
the Wrenthorpe Valley, by East Ardsley and Churwell, effecting
at this point a junction with the Leeds and Dewsbury line. From
Chunvell the route diverges by Farnley, passing between Black-gates
and Nisbet-hall, south of Fulneck to Leister Dyke, and thence to
Bradford, where a junction will be effected by means of a branch
with the Leeds and Bradford Railway, and its extension, thus afford-
ing the best means of outlet to Bingley, Keighley, Skipton, Kirby
Lonsdale, and to the west and north-west.

In addition to the importance of establishing the most'direct practi-
cable communication bctwixt the above-mentioned towns, this pro-
ject possesses within itself the elements of one of the best paying
mineral lines in the kingdom, passing as it does through rich and
extensive coal fields, extending the whole length of the proposed
route, great portions of which are already in course of working, and
will, by the favourable gradients of this line, be readily transmitted
not only to Bradford, and the north-west, where fuel is much re-
quired to meet an increasing demand, but also to the eastern coast.
It must be evident to any one conversant wills the position of the
town of Bradford, that notwithstanding the importance to which it
has so rapidly risen. independent of ordinary facilities, either from
inland navigation, or communication by railway, it has not hitherto
received that consideration to which it was entitled, and it is only
fair to assume that had it possessed the same advantages of direct
intercourse as other inland towns, its commercial prosperity would
have still more advanced.

Irrespective, however, of the importance of this line of communi-
cation to the town of Bradford, and viewing it in connexion with
other existing and projected lines of railway, it presents a most
important link in the chain of communication for passengers, mine-
rals, and general mercantile traffic, from Bradford to the metropolis,
and the south, and betwixt the eastern and western coasts. It will
also be the most available source for the transit of wool and general
merchandise from the eastern coast and the south to Bradford, and
for limestone, iron, slates, cattle, and other produce from the west
and north-west, to the south and east.

The important corn and cattle markets of Wakefield -will, by this
project, be the means of diffusing still greater advantages to the most
densely populated districts of the West 'tiding. The facilities of
transit for horned cattle from the north and north-west to Wakefield
have hitherto been extremely limited, whilst the purchasers of grain
from Bradford, Keighley, and the surrounding districts have, for the
want of a more direct route, been debarred from availing themselves
of the most extensive home corn market in the kingdom.

The advantages arising from this undertaking are equally calcu-
lated to benefit the manufacturing interests of the town of Leeds,
which will alike share with the towns of Bradford and Wakefield, the
shortest available route, not only from the eastern coast, by means of

the Wakefield, Pontefiact and Goole Railway, but also- from the
south by u.eans of the projected communication with the Midland
Railway, near to Oakenshaw.

Viewing this line as a completing link in the chain of communica-
tion, not only between the towns of Bradford, Wakefield and Leeds,
but also as effecting a junction between the Midland, Wakefield, Pon-
tefract, and Goole, Leeds • and Dewsbury, West-Riding Junction,
Leeds and Bradford Railways, and the proposed extension to
Keighley, Skipton and the North-West, this railway will be the
means of connecting a greater number of lines, at present alike se-
vered, and unavailable to each other, than, perhaps, any other single
project of the like extent.
The facilities for accommodating the local traffic Will best be
exemplified by the following table of distances :

From-the station at Westgate, Wakefield, to the station near the
Court House, at Bradford.. ..... ........ •..• • .. 13% miles
As the Crow files the distance is.. • • • • •• • • .... • • 12 „

As the Crow flies • .•
From Bradford to Leeds, by means of the same Junction 9

4-aAford.to Leeds, by means of a Junction with

the West Riding Junction, near to Fulneck ........
As the Crow flies....
These are points with respect to distances (taking into account
the peculiar features of the country), between the important towns
of Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds, which will bear comparison with
the best laid-out lines in the kingdom, whilst in cost of construction
this project may be as favourably compared with any existing or
proposed line in the West Riding.

Irrespective, however, of the local traffic which must necessarily
pass along this line, as the shortest route betwixt the towns of
Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds, and apart from the minerals which,
by its means, must find an outlet to the Wakefield, Pontefract, and
Goole, Midland, York, and North Midland, and Hull and Selby Rail-
ways, the staple trade of Bradford will receive an invaluable ac-
quisition.

About 200,000 packs of wool are annually sent to the town of
Bradford, for consumption in the worsted districts of the West
Biding, upwards of two-thirds of which are derived from the south
or south-east, and would, therefore, pass along this railway. Similar
remarks will, to a great extent, apply to bale goods, oil, groceries,
and general merchandise. _ _

The gradients of the line will be peculiarly favourable, admitting
of an almost level plane of nearly five miles in extent in the centre,
with descents in no instance exceeding one in one hundred towards
each terminus.

By the proposed Act the liability of Shareholders will be limited to
the amount of their several subscriptions.

Application for Shares may be made to the Secretary in the fol-
lowing form

The object of this Company is the construction of a Railway con-
necting the important and rising Sea Port of Galway, In which so
many improvements are now In progress, and at which so many pro-
fitable lines of Railway are intended to terminate, with the flou-
rishing commercial towns of Ennis, Limerick, Cork, Waterford, and
Wexford. The opinion of all parties whose local knowledge enables
them to form a judgment on the subject, are unanimous in consider-
ing that this line is one of the most promising, as a paying line,
that can be selected in Ireland, while, from its superior facilities of
construction, there is no doubt but that it may be brought into actual
operation, so as to yield a return of the capital expended upon it at
a much earlier period than any other projected line of Railway in
Ireland.
Prospectuses, together with the names of a highly influential Com-
mittee, are in preparation, and will be issued in a few days.
In the allotment of Shares, a preference will be given to the par-
ties locally interested in the line.

ARMAGH, COLERAINE, and PORTRUSH
RAILWAY.
At a numerous Meeting of Noblemen and Gentlemen connected
with the North of Ireland, held this day, at the Thatched House
Tavern, for the purpose of taking into consideration the most effec•
tual means for obtaining a Suspension of the Standing Orders in the
House of Commons iu favour of the above Company, it was
Moved by the Earl of CuAltxxrdoxx ; seconded by Lord ACHESON,
M.P. ; and unanimously resolved,
That this Meeting, being impressed with the very great import-
ance of the Armagh, Coleraine, and Portrush line of railway, to the
very populous district through which it passes, desires to promote to
the utmost the success of the project through Parliament ; and, with
that view, are most anxious to afford every assistance to the passing
of the Bill during the present session.
Moved by Lord NORTHLAND, M.P. ; seconded by Lord CLAUD lIA.
MILTON, and unanimously resolved,
That the country immediately to be benefited by the Armagh,
Coleraine, and Portrush Railway, being one of the wealthiest and
most populous in Ireland, is entitled to the warmest support of the
different noblemen and gentlemen possessing any influence in the
Legislature; and, inasmuch as the inhabitants have, by petitions,
signed by them in various districts, expressed a unanimous desire
that the standing orders of the House should be suspended, in order
that the Bill for its construction may pass into a law this session,
this Meeting agree to support a petition on the part of the Directors
of the Company for that purpose.
Moved by Capt. JONES, M.P. ; seconded by Capt. BASEsoN, M.P.;
and unanimously resolved,
That this meeting, aware that the object of the standing orders
being complied with, is mainly for the protection of the landowners
and others interested on the line, are of opinion that, after such
expressions of public feeling as those evidenced by the petitions re-
ferred to, a petition on the part of the Directors ought to be imme-
diately presented to the House, praying fbr the suspension of the
standing orders.
Moved by Colonel RAWDEN, 3f.P. ; seconded by Mr. MACDONNELL,
of Glenarm Castle ; and unanimously resolved,
That a petition on the part of the Directors of the _Armagh, Cole-
raine, and Portrush Railway, having been prepared and read to the
Meeting by the Solicitor to the Company, this Meeting is of opinion
that the same should be presented to the Commons House of Parlia-
ment, with the shortest possible delay, that the claims of the Com-
pany may be immediately brought before the Legislature for a sus-
pension of the standing orders in their favour.
Moved by Lord ROSSMORE ; seconded by CHARLES Fox, Esq. ; and
unanimously resolved,
That the several petitions from the local tenantry ana others in
favour of the Armagh, Coleraine, and Portrush Railway to the House
of Commons, and that the standing orders might be dispensed with
this session in its behalf, are entitled to the greatest weight and con-
sideration, and prove at once the importance of the line, and neces-
sity of its early adoption. This Meeting is therefore of opinion that
the same should be immediately presented to the House, and the
proper measures should be adopted with that view.

The Earl Gosford having vacated the chair, and the Earl of Char-
lemont having been called thereto, it was

TflE GREAT SICILIAN RAILWAY.
The shores of the Mediterranean, embracing a Morale of
live thousand leagues, present the most splendid and tempting field
for British enterprise in the whole range of the Old World. Sicily,
the finest island in Europe, not more renowned for its classic associa-
tions than for the fertility of its soil and salubrity of its climate, has
long felt the want of gool internal communication to develop the
mighty resources which lie almost unprofitable over its varied
surface. To supply this want—to explore those mines, and *pen
up their treasures to British enterprise, British skill, and British
industry, a body of highly influential merchants, and of gentlemen
locally interested in the prosperity of the island, have resolved upon
the construction of a railway traversing its entire length and
breadth, and connecting, by branches, with its main trunk all the
minor commercial towns of the interior. This national undertaking
will connect the towns an i cities of Palermo, Castre-Giovani,
Lentini, Augusta, Catania, Messina, as well as the towns of Marsala,
Trapani, and others along the north-west coast, thus giving railway
communication to every important point in the island which may
hereafter prove practicable from the surveys. It commences at Pa-
lermo, one of the most attractive spots on the face of the globe, the
capital of Sicily, which stands on a fertile plain at the head of a
spacious bay, and in its progress touches at Messina, whose harbour
Is four miles in circumference, perfectly land-locked and secure, and
capable, from its great extent and depth, of receiving all the shipping
employed in Sicilian commerce. Catania, the most ancient, and now
one of the most beautiful, cities in the island, and the far-famed Syra-
iiiing:lfeit likisithstiNTElia-Mhte-Tsmw lit a teW days." In me
meantime all further information can be had at the temporary offices
of the Company, 18, Austin-friars, City.
