No part of England , however , iiillbe included in theepemtions of the jyresent Company . ] ' ( PROVISIONALLY REGISTERED l'UUSUAST TO Ttli ANU Sth YIC Cap .

[ A move detailed Prospectus , containing the names of the Trustees , the Board of Directors , and a most powerful Provisional Committee , with a complete list of the Bankers , Counsel , Engineers , Solicitors , Secretaries , , Share-brokers ( London and Provincial ) , with all the officers of the company , is in course ol'formation , and will shortly be ready for delivery . ] PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT . AMID the many and the mighty records of man ' s discoveries in the arts and sciences wliich owe their existence to the unceasing energies and boundless wealth of this commercial empire , posterity will search in vain the historical monuments ot'departed ages , to discover one more wonder ful or valuable in the annals of a nation ' s greatness , than the iron roa d ' s of the nineteenth century—those magnificent highways of commerce , which , extending in every direction their gigantic trunks and literally countless branches , and intersecting in . its length as in its brcad ^ u the entire Kingdom of Great Britain , arc , to tive extent of soaio thousand miles , momentarily trav " sed with almost lightning rapidity , by the potent agency of Steam . Most truly hsw it been observed that " the philosophy of railroads is only now beginning to be comprehended by the universal w " ori ( i . < ia ;| v an ( j vapidly they arc developing new an important views of society ; they arc , m fact , Ki-sustainin ^ social instruments , that by cheapening innumerable commodities , and diminishing the ; ost of transit , are not only increasing consumption , but crca ng , as it were , in savings new enterprise- "^ yf capital new want 1 * " p tf '' - " . v changes ' yet await them ( and , doubtless , there arc some ) , they arc changes merely of progression 'Tom onostago of improvement to another : but sooner or later the adoption of railroads must become universal , though the broad guage , bv reason of its supposed increased salcty with increased speed , should ultimately clash with the narrow , and tho maximum of our present velocity should become the minimum ot speed hereafter , for while an engine manufactured in ISM cannot accomplish the dutuice between London and Liverpool in less than six hours , we behold another constructed in lSdo traversing the same space m less than four . . .. ,, „ , * . The assertion may appear , at first mention , astounding to those quite unacquainted with the lact , and in hapny ignorance of the great-advantages of railroads , even as investments , yet so highly remunerative Has been the actual interest only , paid by Railway Companies on the amount ot money called lor up > to the present time , that the efieet has positively been to create a new and independent property toi iiailwaj Shareholders , over and above the gross amount of capital advanced by them , oi upwards ot ONE HUNDRED MILLIONS STERLING . , The primary and the principal , object of this Company is to accomplish , on tic move extensive field of continental Em-ope , as well asfin our British possessions ; throug hout the world , what England , with all her wealth , and all her energies , has , from her very limited extent alone , only succeeded as yet in carrying out comparatively in miniature , viz ., the construction of Railroads ; in other words , to accomplish , by steam power a still more gigantic scheme of passenger traffic on land than those extensive fleets ot steamers , known as the various Foreign Steam Navigation Companies of England , have hitherto maintained at sea . With such important views , and national as well as individual interests sincerely at lieart , accredited Directors , with ample resources at their command in several instances most favourably connected , in all practically and intimately acquainted with the various localities they arc destined to proceed to , will be specially delegated , on behalf of the Company , to enter into ncgociations with Continental States and British and Foreign Governments , and by contracts of the most favourable nature tor the interest of . Shareholders in the present Company , to secure the concession of the many exceedingly valuable lines ot railway which to the extent of several thousand miles throughout tho world , still await the immediate ^ application only of British enterprise , combined with British capital , to be effectually and successfully carried out . An engineering staff , on a scale of liberality sufficiently great to meet tlic magnitude ot the undertaking , and as perfect in its several appointments as the verv highest order of merit ( supported by unexceptionable testimonials ) , can constitute it , will accompany a cho ' scn body of the Directors throughout their travels to guidD thoir judgment on scientific questions , and to report on eng ineering matters , such as earth-works , costs of construction , and the precise nature of the several soils and gradients . t The Directors purposely omit all mention of engineering difficultie s , because , with the single exception of physical imposaibilitics , experience daily proves that they resolve themselves into the simplc . question of expense , and consequent amount of interest , and are therefore , more properly speaking , matters for the special consideration of financiers ( rather than of eng ineers ) , by whom they will be fully debated and disposed of . ¦ With a view to ensure not only names of b > h . commercial statding , and possessing likewise extensive influence with Foreign States , but also practically efficient working Directors , the Executive of this Company has been constituted liberally remunerative ; thus every Director , will feel that in his own personal services lies the secret power of rendering the present project only the first of a scries of eminently successful undertakings , in the interest of all of which he must necessari !) participate . Every grant for a Railroad secured by the successful negotiations of tliis _ Company , will be constituted a separate and distinct Railway Company , and every holder of Shares herein will be entitled to the call at par of a proportionate number of the new shares in every Company , aocording to the number ho may possess in the present one : such claim to bo made by the production of tho original shares at the Company ' s oSieo seven clear days previous to every allotment of shares in each Company .

The deposit of 10 s . per share will be invested in approved securities , and the interest arising tlicivlinm will be carried to a fund for defraying in part tlie expenses of the C ' ompanv connected with its . nciicn ' management . " . ° ' " Although the net of subscribing for shares in any of the subsequent Companies which may result fro : ii the present one , has been expressly stated as being quite optional on the part of a Subscriber " hereto , it . is , perhaps only proper to state , in addition , that on any occasion of an original Shareholder declining to tala ' suels now shares , and relinquishing his right of claiming shares in every new Company , he will be at perfect liberty to withdraw bis original deposit money on giving thirty-one days' notice to that cii ' ect ; and t he Directors expressly guarantee that the total deduction for expenditure ( at home and abroad ) shall not ultimately exceed from live to ten shillings on each deposit ; these expenses , however , will bo defrayed , as they are incurred , in equal proportions by the various Companies establiscd from time to ( line through tile successful negotiations of the present one , and thus the full amonnt of the original deposit will bo returned , nut only without any deduction , but with the addition of tlic various bonuses . The bonus ( annual or commuted ) given by every Foreign Company for each separate act of concession willi ) G carried , as before explained , to m \ aceuimilivtisig fund , " lor the benciit of tlie Shareholders in this Company ( through the aid , in fact , of whose capital the caution money deposited with Continental States for securing the concessions of such foreign lines will have been primarily , although temporarily , advanced ) , and will , when all the various lines nvo conceded for which the Directors intend to propose the necessary advance of capital , bo divided in proportion to the amount of deposit money advanced by euth original Shareholder , which deposit will then Ijo returned in full , together with all accumulations , A . subscription , fav one ov uiotoshaves in any Company will carry with it and imply ail adhesion io tJio statutes , rules , and regulations of such Company , and to all rights and privileges thereto attaching ; hut it has been rendered optional on the part of Shareholders herein to accept or dediiic such shares previous to his or her act of subscription . Negotiations of a highly important nature with several Foreign States will , in a very brief period , lie fullv and unreservedly communicated to the Shareholders ; and , without a mere direct reference at the present time , to the objects actually contemplated , it may , perhaps , not be considered premature to sta e that a sh ' . ivt time only will elapse before the announcement of some most important accessions to the interest'of ( he present Company .

Loxpcw Cms Exauaex , te Oct . lo-The wast week ' s arrivals of English wheat , barley , onfe beans , and flour Lave been , the time of year considered , on a verv moderate scale ; but those of peas have proved extensive . Of Irish oats , £ only a limited quantity has been received ; while the total imports of all grain of foreign produce has been be ! o-v average ones . Fresh up . to-day , coastwise as well as by land-afmage a : id samples , tnly a nioJeratesuppW of wheat of home produce came to hand , and that for the icost part of middling quality . The show of sninjilo j was , therefore , seamy , ' owing to which tlic increased attendance of buyers , both twa and country , :: nd the unfavour . ib ' e accounts received respecting the harvest iu the north of England , the wheat trade ruled bridle , at an advance in the
currencies obtained on Monday List of from Is . to 3 $ per qv-, being an improvement on Friday ' s rates oi quite Is ., ami at which most of the parcels on offer were speedily disposed of by the factors . S : ill , however , tiic trade did not close fo briskly as at the opening of the market . The show of free foreign wheat wa » by no means large , t ! : crc being much inquiry for that description of grain ; holders were firm , and would not sell , exeep ! at a l'isc of from 2 s . to 3 s . per qr ., at which amount of improvement ; a large business wis transacted . For corn under lock there was a good speculative inquiry , and Is . to 2 s . per qr . more was paid for fine wheats . Although there were no orders on the market for the purchase of either barlev , ( Kits , beans , or peas for shmincnt to the
continent , those articles were steady , and previous rates were well supported . The supply of English barley was very small ; hence the sale far it was somewhat sefcive , at a rise in the quotations of Is . per qr . For the best parcels of malt , we had a ready demand at Is . per qr . more money ; wlulc the value of other kinds was freely supported . Comparatively speaking , very few samples were- unsold at the market ' s close . We had a very short supply of oats on sale . For all kinds the sale was active , at Is . per qr . more money . The best parcels of beans commanded an advance of Is . per qr . ; other kinds being held at extreme figures . Of peas the sale was by no means large , at Jalc rates . Fioiir steady , and most of the millers were askius lusher figures .

PRO S PECTUS . ''F ^ JIE Direct London and Liverpool Railway is - s- iiho n Direct Liverjiool and Birmingham Railway . It ' uses tho London and Birmingham Railway the whole distance to Birmingham . From thence it proceeds to Wolvcrhampton either on the Grand Junction , or on the Wolverhampton , Dudley and Birmingham Railway . From Wolvcrhampton commences the new portion of Railway , consisting of 55 miles only , and passing through Newport and Whitchurch , ' on to Chester . At Chester the Direct London and Liverpool Railway proceeds on the Chester and Birkcnhead Railway to Bii'kcnlicad . It is proposed to establish at Birkcnhead a Steam Ferry gratis to Liverpool across the Mersey , so as to unite both ' . owns into one .
This Railway has the advantage of passing through the towns On its route , without materially Increasing the distance . The principle of she Direct London and Liverpool Railway , as in the case of the llugby , Derby and Manchester Kaihvay , is to obtain a Direct through Line between some of the most populous districts in the kingdom , with the least possible amount of new Railway , and consequently the smallest expenditure of capital . The Direct London and Liverpool Railway opens up an entirely new District , at the same time that it interferes but slightly with existing Railway interests .
The maps , plans , estimates , and other documents required by the standing orders ol' Parliament will bo lodged with the Parish clerks , the clerks of the peace Tor the counties , and the parliamentary offices , on the 24 th d .-iy of November , being six days within tlie time required by tlic regulations of Parliament . A preference in the allotment of Shares will be given , to the extent of 15 , 000 , to the original Shareholders in the Riujby , Derby , and Manclieslcr Railway Company , oii tiiciv sending in their applications for the same . A proper reservation of Shares will be made for the London and Birmingham , Chester and Birkenhcad , and Warwickshire Railways , beinj ; tlie Railways h . v means of which the project how submitted to the public is tiie mast Direct London and Liverpool Railway that can be made . As the applications are exceedingly . numerous , a very early day will be named for closing the lists .

jSaval PuEMiuTioxs . —Tlic accounts from all the naval arsenals of the kingdom agree in stating that unusual activity prevailsat present in the fitting out of vessels of war of every description ; and we h ave heard within the last ibw days that a peremptory notice has been sent round by * the Lords of the Admiralty to the different manufacturers of steam-boat machinery who are working for the government , informing them that tlie machines which they have in hand for government must be greatly at the precise time fixed , and that , if they arc not , " the full penalties
for the breach of contract will be enforced against them . This activity in preparing the means for defensive w , iifare is accompanied with equal activity in'fortifying the naval stations of the empire , so as to render them safe against any sudden attack . Coupling all these circumstances with the sudden movements of the squadrons in the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Seas , it is difficult to resist the conclusion that the government considers war a possible event , ami that it is placing itself in a position to meet any difficulties which may arise on either side of the Atlantic . —Liverpool Times .
