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 probabilit if ,future traffic in the transit of goods and passengers has been Pada*, ist every line of railway has, upon its completion, vastly . ex he calculated amount. Th e r e are, however, in this instance, r*oils for supposing that the extended facilities of com munication will cause more th an an or di nary i ncrease i n the con veyance of passengers. Tim 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, - and will he 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 net more than ordinary difficulties to contend with. The liability of tlitiii)eareholders will be restricted, by Act of Parlia ment, to the aninktflPof 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 opens .of the line.

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 limit 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 ofa 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 frem Birming ham to the Potteries than any line made or projected by several miles, assuming any of the projected Pottery lines to have their ter mini at Colwicb, on the Trent Valley, or at Stafford, on the Grand Junction Railway ; thus giving to Manchester, and a:so 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 he placed, and communication effected, so wet° 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.

To remedy the evils of delay and inconvenience to which parties arc, 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 communicatiox with the metropolis, and with each other. _ . Commencing at the intended terminus of the South-Western Rail way, at llungerford 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 lug 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 Croyd on , 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 tile 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 be 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, &e., and who have, at the present time, no mode of conveyance but upon the turnpike road. In the transit of building materials, corn, coal, lime, and other heavy goods, from the warehouses and wharfs on the banks of the Thames, and for marketable produce in each direction, this line must become to them particularly useful and convenient. Some idea may be fonned of the local necessity of this railway wren it is known that the number ofpassengers who avail themselves of the accommodation afforded by the several omnibuses and other pub lie "'chides, running upon the turnpike-road, have been ascer tained to exceed 2,600 daily. An equal number (at least) proceed' by ptivate and other conveyances. Of foot passengers, although no accurate estimate sea be formed of them, it is considered that iEI tl4'.

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 ti 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 Margate will be placed within 75 miles of the me tropolis, instead of more than 100, as at present, and the, too, by a direct line through Faversham, at which place it will meet the Lon don lines. The important town of Ramsgate, now so extensively connected with continental communication, will also be thus 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 conjunctbn with the exist ing and projected railways proceeding to the south coast of Essex, the whole of the passengers and traffic from Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Hull, York, and the Northern, the Midland, and the Eastern Counties, will be conveyed to Dover and the Conti nent via Sheerness, in preference to a lengthened and cir cuitous route through the metropolis, whereby the journey will be shortened more than 50 miles, travelling expenses will be curtailed, and the serious inconvenience and delay of transhipment and con veyance from one part of London to anotherwholly avoided. A glance at the map also will show the immense advantage which the metropolis itself will enjoy by its being thus afforded other routes to the coast of Kent. The millions who annually seek pleasure in excursions to Gravesend, Sheerness, Southend, Herne Bay, Margate, 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, consuming only about two hours in the journey, and may vary their pleasure by going In one direction and returning by another. Independently of the vast multitudes who will thus seek health and recreation, the importance, as a national object, of connecting ail the above-mentioned towns, and giving a direct line from Sheerness to Dover, together with 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, trust be too apparent to need further observation; and the Commit tee, from careful inquiry, feel confidence in stating that no schem e e t railway has yet been offered to public attention combining gr ea t er 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 • • ...• • • • ....... 36 The country has already been preliminary surveyed, and found to be exceedingly favourable. Indeed, it is almost a dead flat from Faversham to Margate. The landed proprietors are not only willing but desirous that the undertaking should be accomplished, and it is at the request of many of them that the promoters have determined on prosecuting it. The Committee reserve the power of making branches to Canter bury and to Deal, if circ umstances should h ereafter render it ad visable. The liability of the shareholders will be restricted to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be applied for in t n t i ll e e p ß as il s l io to g allow interest, at 4 per cent. per annum on all calls, from of the Act until the opening of the line.

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 Dement, enter Yorkshire, in the vicinity of Saddleworth. In its course, it will pass through or near to Matlock, Ashbourne, Glos sop, Mottram, Hyfield, and Duckentield, 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 Rochdale 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 will proceed thence through or near to Whitworth and Rossendale, and fall into the East Lancashire Railway, in the vicinity 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 Baum, to Todmordcn. The Erewash Extension will be the only direct route from the centre of Derbyshire to the great manufacturing towns and chief seaports of Lancashire. It will traverse a valley district adorned with the most picturesque scenery, and, at the same time, rich in mineral produce. It wid commanicatz, laterally, with several trunk lines ofrallway, and will be fed by no less than live working canals-- the Cromford—t he Manchester and Shcflidd --the Huddersfield—the Manchester and Leeds—and the Liverpool and Blackburn. To the multiplication of advantages which intersecting railways e u as b o e n to o and lines of still - water na v ig ation are com p elled to afford, the throw ing out of branches from the line its e lf in s o m a n y direAtons will add rt v ver y will s till further powers of accommodation , and, when the dense popula tionconcliundteh that i l a o t c localities t i n e s ampletraversedio rem un remuneration aconsidered, for e therested capital is bikowing the come of rivers, which, in thin induce, fall in N OTTINGHAM, BIRMINGHAM, AND COVENTRY JUNCTION RAILWAY, Uniting Warwick, Coventry, and Birmingham, with Nottingham, Newark, and Lincoln.

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 Warwic'c will be formed, a direct communication will thus be effected between the Severn at Glouces ter, end the Dumber 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 limeworks, 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 coarse 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 municating with the Erewash Valley Railway at Long Eaton. it must command the traffic from Coventry, Warwick, and the district south of those towns to Sheffield, Leeds, York, and the north of Eng' and generally. It will also afford a direct commuisication between Not tingham and the district between Warwick and Worcester, by means of the projected Worcester, Warwick, and Rugby, and the Warwick and Worcester Railways. _ _ The - entire length of the line will be about twenty-four miles. The Parliamentary surveys are now in active progiess, and contracts have been entered into with eminent surveyors, which will insure ample time for a compliance with the standing orders. The engineer also reports the country to be free from all engineering difficulties, and to present unusual facilities for the formation of the line. The Committee havinglletermined 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 applications 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.

It must, there fore, be obvious that there will be a sufficient traffic to pay a high rate of interest on the capital required. _ There are no engineering difficulties in the country through which the lice is intended to pass, the whole being nearly on a level, and on reference to the map of country, taken from the Ordnance survey, which accompanies the prospectus, the line will appear straight, and will at the same time show the superior advantages it possesses, and that it cannot be surpasssd by any existing or projectedlines between the same termini. It will not interfere with any ornamental property, and no tunnel ling will be required. Application is Intended to be made, in the ensuing session of Par liament, for a direct line of railway (of which a survey has been made) from Southampton to Kidderminster, and by which a ready communication will be afforded to the meat southern ports of England. The liabilities of the Shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions, and interest will he allowed on the deposits and further calls, from the date of the several payments to the opening of the line. 4 Prospectuses, with maps and forms of application for shares; can be bad from the Secretary on application at the temporary offices of the Company, 3, Abchurch-lane, London; from the Solicitors and Local Agents; also from the following Brokers, viz. :-3fessrs.
