Wright, Thomas, Esq., merchant, Derby, Director of the Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Worcestershire Junction Railway. ENGINEER—George Remington, Esq. The title of this line sufficiently and correctly explains the object of the undertaking. The Birmingham terminus will be placed in communication with all the other railways having a station in that town, and will be brought as near as practicable to its centre. Proceeding thence in a northerly direction, and on the west side of the Lichfield road, it will pass within a short distance of Sutton Coldfield, and to Lichfield, at the latter of which places there will be a station in communication with the projected Walsall lines. Thence crossing the Trent Valley, near King's Bromley, it will pursue the course of the Blythe Valley, or by or near to Abbots Bromley to Leigh, where it will leave the Blythe Valley, and by a short cutting reach the Tean station on Remington's London and Manchester line at the junction of the Crewe branch, or by a junc tion with whichever of the projected lines to Manchester may be adopted by Parliament. The entire length of the new line to be made will not exceed thirty-four miles, and the whole will be carried over a most favour able country—two-thirds being a water-level. Sections of a great portion of the line have been made, and the en tire Parliamentary survey will be completed by the 9th ofOctober. This railway will afford a route from Birmingham to Manchester eleven miles shorter than by any existing or projected line. It will also give the best and nearest line between Huddersfield, and Bir mingham. It will also furnish a nearer and more direct route from Birming ham to the Potteries than any line made or projected by several mile., assuming any of the projected Pottery lines to have their ter mini at Col*ich, on the Trent Valley, or at Stafford, on the Grand Junction Railway ; thus giving to Manchester, and also the Pot teries, the shortest, easiest, and most direct route to Birmingham. It will also give the nearest line between Huddersfield and Birming ham and Southampton. This railway crosses the projected Leeds and Huddersfield and Wolverhampton Direct Railway. In the Blythe Valley a station will be placed, and communication effected, so as to afford to Birmingham the shortest route by many miles, with Leeds, Huddersfield, Sheffield, and the northern parts of England. In allotting shares every legi timate preference will be given to landholders on the line. It is obvious that the projected line will afford an ample return to the shareholders. For prospectuses, shares, and every information, apply to the solicitors, W. Arnold-Bainbrigge, Esq., Uttoxeter ; or at the Offices of the Company, No. 1, Moorgate, London. - BROKERS. Messrs.

To remedy the evils of delay and inconvenience to which parties are, at the present time, necessarily subjected in proceeding from the west end of the metro polis to Croydon, or the most distant places on the South-Eastern and London and Brighton Railways, as well as the several sea ports and packet-stations on the coasts of Kent and Sussex; and 2d. To supply to the numerous and wealthy inhabitants of the district through which the intended line will pass (at present wholly with out railway accommodation), a greatly improved means for the in terchange of communication with the metropolis, and with each other. Commencing at the intended terminus of the South-Western Rail way, at Hungerford or Waterloo-bridge, the line will take the most practicable route to Kennington, from thence it will follow as near as possible the old turnpike road, passing through or near to the wealthy and populous districts of Stockwell, Clapham, Brixton, Tulse-hill, Streatham, Norwood, Beulah, and Thornton-heath, effect ing a junction at Croydon with the several existing or projected lines from that place. It is also proposed to form a branch or branches from the neigh bourhood of Streatham to Mitcham and Tooting, and thus to extend to those places, and their respective neighbourhoods, the advantages of a direct railway communication with the metropolis. A great portion of the traffic in passengers and goods upon the Brighton and Dover lines is supplied from the west-end of London and the Birmingham and Great Western Railways. The necessity of proceeding to the station at London-bridge, and by the present circuitous route to Croydon, is a serious and unnecessary inconveni ence, entailing additional expense and delay. The removal of this long-felt grievance is a leading object with the promoters of the pre sent undertaking. They deem it right, however, to observe, in lay ing this scheme before the public, that they have no desire to inter fere with existing railway interests, further than is absolutely indis pensable, but that on the other hand it will be their object to yield assistance to, and in return endeavour to secure it, from each com pany with which this line may ultimately be connected. A glance at the map will show, that as a branch or arm of the London and Brighton Railway, this undertaking completes a straight line of communication from the west end of London to Croydon, Reigate, and Brighton, and renders the ports of Dover and Folke stone, as well as the several places on the South-Eastern line, more easily accessible from that part of the metropolis. The great amount of traffic at the present time upon the roads be tween Croydon, Mitcham, Tooting, &c., and London, proves at once that the existing railway facilities do not at all meet the exigencies of the mass of population to whom this line will he available. The population who reside upon or in the immediate neighbour hood of the proposed line, independent of the metropolis, and between the intended termini, exceeds- 100,000, whose wants are almost wholly supplied from the London markets, &c., and who have, at the present time, - no mede of conveyance but upon the turnpike road. In the transit of building materials, corn, coal, lime, and other heavy goods, from the warehohses and wharfs on the banks of the Thames, and for marketable produce in each direction, this line must become to them particularly useful and convenit nt. Some idea may be formed et the local necessity of this nilway ir , en it is known that the number ofpassengers who avail themselves of the aclommodation afforded by the several omnibuses and othe pit lievehiel.. ib. ' nave Leon tweet ' tamed to exceed 2,600 daily. An equal number (at least) proceed by private and other conveyances. Of foot passengers, although no accuiCe estimate eau be formed of them, it is equsidered that they at least number four times that of passengers who travel by con veyance. The tornage of goods it is calculated will be In full pro portion to the receipt from passengers. Experience has fully proved, that on however liberal a scale the probability of future traffic in the transit of goods and passengers has been judged, almost every line of railway has, upon its completion, vastly exceeded the calculated amount. There are, however, in this Instance, reasons for supposing that the extended facilities of com munication will cause more than an ordinary increase In the con veyance of passengers. The country which the line of railway will open is singularly picturesque and beautiful, and in addition to the admired districts of Brixton and Streatham, the long-favoured and much-frequented Beulah and Norwood will be placed within easy access, and become more than ever, objects of interest and delight to the visitor and resident of the metropolis. There can therefore be little doubt but that the present line must become a profitable and eligible scheme for the investment of capital. The promoters of this undertaking have pleasure in announcing that it is approved of, ant will le generally supported by local in fluence. They have caused a partial survey to be made, which will be completed shortly, and they have the assurance of their engineers that there are not more than ordinary difficulties to contend with. The liability of the shareholders will be restricted, by Act of Parlia ment, to the amount of their subscriptions; and power win be applied for in the Bill to allow interest at 4/. per cent. per annum on all calls from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line. Applications for further information, prospectu,es, and shares (in he form annexed), may he addressed to the Solicitors; to the Secre tary, at the offices of the Company, No. 34, Gracechurch-street; or to the following Brokers :—viz., Messrs.

This railway will commence at Sheerness in conjunction with short steam-ferry communication from a point at or near to South end, on the opposite Essex coast, and will proceed from Sheerness by Queenborough to Faversham, where it will form a junction with one of the proposed lines from London by that town to Canterbury and Dover. The integral line will be continued from Faversham to or near to Herne Bay, and from thence to the South-Eastern Extension Railway (now being made), at a point near Sarr, and will then pro ceed on that line direct to Ramsgate eastwards, and direct to Veal south-eastwards. From a point between Herne Bay and Sarr the line will also be carried by a short extens;on to Margate. By this project Afargiee will be placed within 75 miles of the me tropolis, instead of more than 100, as at present, and the, too , b y a direct line through Faversham, at which pl a ce it will meet the Lon don lines. The important town of Ramsgate, no w so ex t e nsively connected with continental communication, will a l so b e th u s afforded a much nearer overland route to London ; and Deal, Ramsgate, Margate, Herne Bay, Sheerness, Chatham, Rochester, Gravesend, Woolwich, Greenwich, and London, will all be placed in immediate or easy con nexion upon one continuous line of railway. By means also of this undertaking, in conjunetbn with the exist ingnveyed t o to a and projected railways proceedi ng t o t h e sou th coast of Essex. the whole of the passengers and traffic from Liverpool, Manches ter, Leeds, Hull, York, and the N or th ern, t h e Midland, and the Eastern via Sheerness , Counties,w ill be w in preferencecir cuitous route through the metropolis, whereby the journey will be shortened more than 50 nines, travelling expenses will be curtaile d, and the serious inconvenience an d d e l ay o f t rans hipment and con veyance from one part of Londo n t o ano th er w h o lly avoided. A glance at the map also will s h ow t h e i mmen se advantage which Dover and the Conti nentand the metropolis itself will enjoy by its being thus aftbrded other routes to the coast of Kent. The millions who annually seek pleasure in excursions to Gravesend, Sheerness, Southend, Herne Bay , Mar g ate, Ramsgate, Deal, and Dover, will have a choice of different routes. They may proceed by railway, on the Essex side of the Thames, to the Thames Haven, Tilbury Fort, or Southend—pass over to Sheer ness by water, and thence proceed direct by this railway—or they may reach Sheerness wholly by water, and then avoid the sea —or, may pass at once from London, on the Surrey side of the Thames, to Sheerness, Herne Bay, Margate, and Ramsgate , by railway in a direct line, cohsuming only about two hours in the journey, and may vary their pleasure by going in one direction and retuniing by another. Independently of the vast multitudes who will thus nn see e k health the above-mentioned towns, and giving a direct line from Sheerness to and recreation, the importance, as a national object, of cocting Dover, together a ith the immense existing traffic in the direction of the undertaking, and the great increase which the improved and enlarged modes of communication throughout Kent will occasion, must be too apparent to need further observation ; and the Commit tee, from careflil inquiry, feel confidence in stating that no scheme of railway has yet been offered to public attention combining greater public and private advantages. About thirty-six miles of new railway only will embrace all the above important objects—viz., from Sheerness to Faversham about Faversham to Herne Bay ... • Thence to Sarr ••••••••• The extension to Margate .. • • .... ..... • t u round 0 to m ber nd p ee re d l , iin it in i a s ry al s m u o n sl y a e d d e , ad and i i be T e h x e ce co e u a n in t g ry ly ha fa s already been Faversham to Margate.

Assuming the northern terminus of the Erewash Railway as its origin, this line will pass through localities totally un provided with railway accommodation, into the populous ma nufacturing districts of Lancashire. It will continue the important line from which it borrows the prefix of its name, from Alfreton, in Derbyshire, where it will be a recipient of traffic from the Cromford Canal—communicating with the Codnor ironworks—along the Dinting Vale, and, obeying the course of the river Derwent, enter Yorkshire, in the vicinity of Saddleworth. In its course, it will pass through or near to Matlock, Ashbourne, Glos sop, Mottram, Hyfield, and Duckenfleld, in reaching which point, the Manchester and Sheffield Railway will be intersected, and the Hud dersfield Canal Railway passed, near to the Rochdale station of the Manchester and Leeds Railway. It is unnecessary to state here the character of the country from lochdale to Blackburn : it will be sufficient to observe, that it is the seat of those manufactures to which England owes her accumulating wealth. The line Ivill'proceed thence through or near to Whitworth and Rossendale, and fall into the East Lancashire Railway, in the ♦icinity of Haslingden. A branch will be thrown out of the trunk line, from the Junction with the East Lancashire line near Haslingden, by Low-Moor iron works and Bacup, to Todmorden. . _ The Erewash ' ixtension will be the only direct route f , - centre of Derbyshire to the great manufacturing ,- t ~,n the _,..ns and chief seaports of Lancashire. It will traverse 2. valley district adorned with the most picturesque Seer" - , at the same time , rich in mineral produce. It --' ' ~-aad, lines of rail , - ..., communicate, laterally, with sever trunk t fl h s e . e l ls . - t d , r d k e l r n s g fl can eld— a l t s h — e and d iu n a i n ll eh t ..... crorrifor - d .. — y, tl a i fb - - Manchester and Leeds—and the Liverpool and Blackburn. To the multiplication of advantaaes which Intersecting railways rer a b n y d no Sl l i e e " llle t l i d a — n and lines of still-water navigation are compelled to afford, the throw ing out of branches from the line itself in so many di. a lions will add still further powers of accommodation, and, when the dense popula tion in the localities traversed is considered, there is every reason to conclude that an ample remuneration for vested capital m ill be ob tained. By following the course of rivers, which, in this instance, fall la with the exact direction of the projected line, highly favourable gra dients are obtained for a considerable part of the length ; and every other section of the country, upon a preliminary survey, has been reported as more than commonly practicable. While the return for capital cannot be questioned, and the necessities of the district de mand accommodation, the expenditure must necessarily fall below the usual amount for works of equal magnitude. To identify this prgiect with that of the Erewash Valley, although not included under, or belonging to the same executive, it is pro posed to allow subscribers in that Company shares in the Erewash Extension : the number to be regulated by the interest retained in the elder project. The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the Share holders beyond the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament is obtained; anti power will be taken hi the Act to allow 4 per cent. in terest upon, all calls.

This line will commence at a point on the Midland Counties Rail way, near Kegworth, and will proceed in a direct line to Nuneaton, and thus, by means of other projected lines, a direct communication will be formed between the important towns of Nottingham, Newark, and Lincoln on the one side, and Birmingham, Coventry, and War wick on the other ; and as there is no doubt the proposed rail. way between Cheltenham and Warwick will be formed, a direct communication will thus be effected between the Severn at Glouces ter, and the Humber at. Great Grimsby. At the same time, a rich mineral and, agricultural district will be supplied with railway ad vantages. The line will pass through a very productive district, intersecting the Leicestershire coal-fields and litneworks, and will afford commu nication, north and south, to the Derbyshire potteries. With such an assured immediate and prospective amount of traffic, the profits on the small capital required cannot fail to be highly remunerative. In consequence of the lines in the course of formation, exclusive of those projected to Great Grimsby, that port will be rendered of the first importance, and it must be obvious that traffic from the district south-west of Warwick will be very great. The distance saved by the proposed line between Leamington, Warwick, Coventry, and Nottingham, will be about twenty miles ; and between Birmingham and Nottingham about six miles. As it is the shortest route from Birmingham to Nottingham and Lincoln, it must secure the traffic from Birmingham to Notting ham, Newark, Lincoln, and the port of Great Grimsby ; and by com comumnlincaantidngthwtiittrhatrfthec Eyewash of those towns to Sheffield, Leeds, York, and the north of Eng'and Coventry, Valley Warwick,ltailßailway at andt LLong the district te nt south generally. It will also afford a direct commueleation between Not tingham and the district bet , een Warwick and Worcester, by means of the projected Worcester, Warwick, and Rugby, and the Warwick and Worcester Railways. T id f° co ur n in tr i a lea cts . have The Parliamentary been entered into with eminent surveyors, which will insur e ample time for a compliance with the standing orders. The e ng i neer also in reports the country to be free from all engineering difficulties, and to iength surveys ofthee are now line active be abo progress,utt wen t a 3 n ' present unusual facilities for the formation of the li ne. entire The Committee havinedetermined upon making provision for com pleting the whole line to Coventry, in case circumstances should ren der such a course expedient, have resolved to raise the capital to 550,0001., in 27,500 shares of 201. each. Any parties who may be desirous of withdrawing their applicaticas in consequence of the above alterations in the project, must signify the same forthwith, otherwise the applicants for shares will be considered as acquiescing therein. Powers for allowance of interest at four per cent. on the paid-up capital will be taken, and the liability of shareholders limited to the amount of their subscriptions, TABLE OF DISTANCES.
