The course of the line will be from the junction of the eastrrn counties, the Harwich and the Ipswich Railway at Colchester, by or near Earl CoLne, Coggleshall, Braintree, Dunmow, Bishop-Stortford, Widford, Ware, Hertford, Hatleld, St. Alban's, Watford, Riekmans worth, Cheneys, Amersham, Beaconsfield, lligh Wycombe, Great Marlow, Henley-on-Thames, to Reading, forming a junction with other lines to Southampton and Portsmouth. The southern exten sion branches off from the main line at Rickmansworth, to Uxbridge, Upton, and Windsor. The line will, In its course, run directly through seventeen market towns, containing together a population of 110,000 inhabitants, and will. within three miles of its coarse, have a population of more than 300,000 inhabitants; and owing to the peculiar angle it makes with other railways, it will, jointly, with the Northern and Eastern, be the nearest route from Braintree and Dunmow to London ; and, by the London and York And this line, the nearest from Ilertford and St. Alban's to London ; and the nearest route, by this line and the Lon don ' and Birmingham, from Amersham, Wycombe, and Marlow to London, besides saving from ten to forty miles in the cross distance of ti•.e.whole towns in the interior, and the several ports. Atone end of this line are four sea-ports and extensive docks, viz., Mlldon, Colchester, Harwich, and Ipswich. From Maldon, there are upwards of 100,000 quarters of corn and seed annually exported, ex clusive of home consumption ; in addition, there is great trade in timber, stone; slate, Hine, chalk, and oil-cake, all of which will be brought on this line, and open a direct communication from these ports to the malting districts of Newport, Bishop-Stortford, Ware, and Hertford. Colchester and Ipswich have become mast important ports, and need no remark; and Government has made a grant for the construc tion of a Refuge Harbour ftt Harwich, and a great Packet Station is to be established there, which by this line will command the whole of the passengers and merchandise traffic from the Midland,llSouth, and the 'Western Districts, for the north of Europe. At the other termini of this line are Gosport, Portsmouth, and Southampton, the latter of which is rapidly becoming ono of the most important ports in England. The line will open the only direct com munication from Southampton, and Portsmouth Dockyard, to the . whole of the Midland and Eastern Counties; and communicate with five of the principal established railwayri in England, 112., South- Western, Great Western, London and Birmingham, Northern and Eastern, and Eastern Counties, and will not be in opposition to either of them, but contribute t• augment their respective traffic. The whole line has been examined by the Company's Engineers, and presents no engineering difficulty. Powers Wlll be applied for in the 11111, to allow Interest at the rate of 41. per cont. per annum, on all calls made from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line.

This important line will commence at Brighton,, and (passing through or contiguous to the towns of Steyning, Petworth, Mid hurst, Petersfleld and Alresford) will join at the Andover Road sta tion of the South-Western Railway, the proposed. Southampton Munches er and Oxford junction. An arrangement has been entered into with the latter Company, and it is proposed by means of their projected line, that the Brighton and Cheltenham Railway shall proceed through Hunger ford to Swindon. From Peterstield a short branch will be made to Chichester where, nearly at the same point of junction, the London and Ports mouth direct will intersect the line in its way to Portsmouth. From Sw ndon it is proposed to proceed by the Manchester and Southampt n Railway to Chelt nham, aid the North of England by the Derbyshire, Worcestershire and Staffordshire Junction, or other existing and contemplated lines. On reference to the map, it will be wen that the primary' object to be obtained by the formation of this line will be the immediate connexion of the northern, western, and the whole of the manufac turing counties, and North and South Wales, with the southern coast !and the populous and fashionable towns of Brighton, Hastings, awl Dover. • . It is unnecessary to observe on the daily increasing traffic between i fl f r lE. ig t l ii i gs t l o : n bn,d. o a i n.l us Dicppe, which the railroad from the latter place to Rouen, and theace to Paris, must greatly augment; thus, by means of the projected line, a direct eommunicatien with France, either from Brighton or Dover, will be opened with the northern countlee that with these advantage.; the traffic must neces— eerily be large, the line passing through the centre of Sussex, con taining a population of about 300,000, at present almost devoid of 'railway accommodation. Power will sc applied for in the Act to increase the capital, f necessary, to alter the line, or to make such deviations or branches' therefrom as maybe deemed necessary •, also fir the purposes of amal gamation with other Companies, should the same be found desirable. The Company reserves to itself the option of adopting the broad or narrow viuge, or the principle of atmospheric traction, if preferable. No further call beyond the deposit will be made 'until the Act shall be obtained. In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to parties locally interested, and to the shareholders in the lines 'with whick this Company will be connected. Application for shares may be made to the Secretary, and to the following Sharebrokers, of whom provectuses, with maps of the line, may be obtained:—London—Messrs.

In compliance with the suggestion of the Committee of the House of Lords (the measure having previously received the sanction of the Board of Trade, and the approval of the Mouse of Commons), a far ther and most accurate survey of the whole line of country traversed between Plymouth and Falmouth has been determined upon, and Mr. Brunei has been instructed to carry out their Lordships' recom inendation. The construction of a line from or near Launceston, by way of Cre diton to Exeter, forming a part of the North Devon scheme, by which it is proposed to give railway accommodation to the northern and central parts of that county, has rendered it most desirable that a junction should be effected between the Cornwall Railway and North Devon line; Mr. Brunel has therefore been instructed to extend his survey with a view to effect this junction, and to afford direct com nitmication with Exeter and the North of Devon. By the proposed plan the following objects will be obtained—a. continuous line of railway from Penzance and Falmouth to Ply mouth, and thence by the South Devon line to Exeter. A direct line by way of Launceston and CreditOn to EXOter From Launces ton a line through Tavistock to Plymouth, and by the North Devon Railway a line through Barnstaple and South Molten to join the Bristol and Exeter line at Tiverton and Taunton. By the connexion which will thus be formed between the Cornwall Railway ancrthe South Devon, North . Devon, and West Cornwall Railways, the most complete and comprehensive rystem of railway communication will be provided for the west of England, giving the utmost amount of accommodation to all the principal towns and places in the counties of Cornwall and Devon. . In the county of Cm - UM/all the towns of Penzaree, St. Tires, Mara zion, Hayle, Camborne, itartith, Falmouth, Penryn, Truro, St. Austell, Lostwithiel, Bodmin, Wadebridge, Liskeard, Launceston, and Torpoint, and the great mining, commercial, trailing, an be d agri cultural parishes and districts of the county, will have thebenefit o railway communication ; while the ports or St. Ives, PortreatFstlhm, on Net Quay, and Padstow on the north coa st, and Mount's Bay, h, Mevagissey, Pentuan, Charle stown, Par. Fowey, and Looe, on the south coast, will be connected with or brought within very mode rate distances of the main line. In the laying out of the Com Wall Railway advantage will also be taken of the several local railways already formed or now In course - of construction. Considerable progress has already been made in the survey. In carrying these objects into effect, the Company will have the most cordial co-operation and support of its aasociated,cOmpanhis— namely, the Great Western, the Bristol and Exeter, Bristol and Gloucester, the South pever., the North pvyon, pig `Vest Cornwall Raihysys, not interfere with any existing railways, and presenting, as it does, an unbroken line between two great centres of traffic, the importance of the undertaking needs no further comment. Negotiations having been entered into with the Eastern Coun ties Railway Company, by which their support and co-operation will be ensured for obtaining the line now proposed. An arrangement has also been made with the proposed Rugby, Warwick, and Worcester Company, which this line will join at Al crater, and by means of which the Eastern Comities' traffic will pro ceed to Worcester. Power will be reserved to the Directors to amalgamate with any other existing or projecting Companies, or to vary the line.

This Cernpany is formed for making a railway from Liverpool to Derby, and will, in conjunction with the Manchester and Rugby Direct, and London and Birmingham Railways, form the nearest route from Liverpool to London. It will commence at Liverpool, and proceed along the Liverpool and Manchester Railway to within a short distance of the Whiston Inclined Plane, and thence branch off, in a south-easterly direction, through Warrington, Knutsford, and Congleton to Leek (there joining the Manchester and Rugby Rail way), and from thence through Ashhourne to Derby. The whole length of the proposed line will be about sixty-91x miles. It will be seen by reference to the map that this important line of railway will form the shortest route from , Liverpool to London, and effect a direct chain of communication between Liverpool and Derby, and will thence, by means of the Midlands and other railways. open an unin terrupted route to the snore eastern counties, and afford a complete midland communication between the eastern and western parts of the kingdom and the important intermediate manufacturing districts. The most important feature in this railway is that it forms the shortest road from Liverpool to London. The distance by it, with the Manchester an9l Rugby, and London and Birmingham, will be only 158 miles, whereas by the present route it is 210 miles, and by the ' Trent Valley Railway 200 1 ,6 miles ; effecting a saving of 22 miles in one instance. and 1234 miles in the other. And as regards Liverpool and Derby, the whole distance between Liverpool and Derby will be reduced by this line to about 74 miles, thus decreasing the distance by any present existing railway, at least 46 miles ; an advantage which carries in itself the conviction of the necessity there is for the proposed railway, in order to connect more immediately two such Important towns, especially when these towns are but the foci, as it were, for other railways from still more distant localities, as before adverted to. The distance also from Manchester to Leek (where the proposed railway will unite with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) will be about 30 milts, and from Leek to Derby about 26)4 relies, making the whole distance from Manchester to Derby only 5614 miles ; and thus diminishing the distance by any present communi cation between those important towns by about 28 miles, an object most desirable to be attained, and of itself quite sufficient to recom mend a line of railway embracing such beneficial results. But great as these results most certainly will be, they are far out weighed by the very important consideration that. in conjunction with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway, it will also be the most direct route from Liverpool to London. The distance from Liverpool to Leek (the proposed point of Jane- Bon with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) is 4734 miles; from Leek to Rugby, according to the line as proposed by the Man chester and Rugby Direct Railway, 58 miles, and from Rugby to London $3 miles; thus making the whole distance from Liverpool to London 18834 miles. instead of 210, by the present route. With regard to the traffic and other details connected with the working of the line, it seems only necessary to revert to the great importance of the towns proposed to be brought into communication with each other, in order to convince the minds of all that the source of revenue thus derived will be immense. There are no engineering difficulties connected with the forming of the line. 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, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 41. per cent interest on all calls. Applications for detailed prospectuses, maps, and shares, may be made to the Secretary, at the offices, 28, Moorgate-street, London ; at Mr. Bethel's Offices, 78, King William-street, City, and at 22, Cross-street, Manchester, and the following Share brokers:--Messrs.

(9jo is o l ci ol, ster, Worcester, Birmingham; Manchester, Liverpool, and the north of England. . : • From its proximity to the Continent, the port of Dover will always be the most accessible point of the English coast ; an expeditious communication therefore between•that Mid the other ports, harbours, and inland towns of the United Kingdom, must necessarily be regarded . as a great national advantage. Dovertii„tit present the chief port of e mb ar k a ti on f o r Calais, Boulogne, °Mend, and other continental towns, and the vast numbers 'already resorting there both on business and pleasure, will be im meamirablyslncieased when the railways - of France, Belgium, 1101- IMI, and Germany are fully brought into operation. In nlilition to which, the Government - Ciimmissioners having selected Dover as a Harbour of Refuge, :and recommended the outlay I thae,,.,l pt 1,500,0001., it cannot fall of becoming a place of the greatest resort for the shipping and commercial Interestsoftostt.efmoisr try, and perhaps the most important town en the southern e In every point of view, therefore, whether for national security, cot for. travelling excursions, or the invaluable interests of our shipping and commerce, the paramount importance of a cheaper, more conve nient, and accelerated intercourse between this gre at port and all parts of • the kingdom, must be sufficiently obviOns. This the pro moters fully anticipate will be attained by the proposed railway. which Will form a portion of a grand trunk line, cOMpleting the chain of railway communication upon the narrow gauge between the south-eastern coast, and Bristol and the western, northern, and mid land counties. The line will commence at the terminus of the Sriuth-Eastern Rail way at Reigate, proceed thence by Dorking, Godalming, Farnham, and Odlham to the Basingstoke station, on the South-Western Rail way. It will then proceed by Anderrer towards Devizes, Trow bridge, and Bradford, with a branch to Batt', and pursuing its course through the Somersctshire coal-field, throwing off a branch towards Radatock in the heart of the collieries, terminate in ajunction With the Bristol and Birmingham Railway at Bristol. By its course through Dorking, Godalming, Farnhlun. and by Odi ham, it will supply the railway accommodation so mar Yee those towns, and connect the rich and fertile hop districts Pf Stirrer, uired Kent, and South Hants, and afford the means of conveyance of Mar produce to the great Hop-fair at Weyhill. By its junction with the contemplated " Reading, Guildfot d, and Reigate Railway," it will afford to the inhabitants of Reading, o.7ford, and` to the midland counties generally, the best and shortest route IO the Continent, as well as, to. Worthing, Hastings, Brighton, and thco other watering-places in Sussex and Kent 1 and a vast increase tl visitors will undoubtedly be attracted to those places from the interior of England by the accommodation and facilities for travelling which will he accomplished by'this and the proposed railway from Ratufftv.;. - By its intersection of the South-ll'estern Railway at Basingstoke. and of the proposed Manchester and Southampton Railway further west, the present line will connect Dover towards the south, w ii?r Southampton (the packet station for the East and West Indies, Ise.). Gosport, and Portsmouth, and towards the north, with Cheltenham, Gloucester, Worcester, Birmingham, Mancitetiter, and Lirerpool, - also w ith Shrewsbury, Chester, and Holyhead, and in fact with the whole of North and south Wales. At Itasingstoke, also, this line will join the proposed London, Sans. bury, and Yeovil Railway, and throw open to Dove; and the uth eastern counties the populous* and wealthy cities of S.:lisbor./ . a t a Exeter, the rich agricultural counties of Wilts, Dorset, Sm n ' 7,. \ and Devon, the p.-rtS of Plymouth, Devonport, anti Falmoni,h, le. the mineral regions of Cornwall. To Devizes, Trowbridge, Bradford, and Bath, and the other toren:, in the vicinity of its course, the benefit which this line will confer cannot be too highly estimated; to the coal districts of Somerset shire it will open large. and constant markets both in Bristol and to the south and east, while to the inhabitants of Bristol especially, con necting its channel with the Straits of Dover and the Downs, pro viding a perfect line for telegraphic communication, and seming to them the whole of ,the trade between the south-cast of England and the west and south of Ireland, it seems difficult, considering the enor mous traffic which must necessarily flow to that city, to conceive A project more deserving of their cordial support. In the memorable Parliamentary contest last session between two great rival companies, the Legislature for the first time admitted that princip'e of competition with existing interests which was claimed by the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company her the protection, and benefit of the public ; and it is with no fear of' the resu't that the promoters of the present Undertaking• inviter attention to one distinguishing feature it contains, viz., that by the construction of the line from Bristol to Basingstoke, the Box Tumid - will be avoided, and a new and independent comMtinication will be established between Bristol and London, by a shorter line on tire , narrow gauge than by the devious course of the Great Western, tilde- ! pendently of all the advantages of the proposed central station at Ilungerford-bridge, and the convenient access to the Thames Isditr there and at Nine Elms, over the distant and incontenient eratiOn of the Great Western at Paddington. In length the proposed line will be nearly 110 miles (assuming Bel t Company to have the construction of that portion between and Dorking, for which plans have been deposited by the . Eastern Company)—the country through which it passes dove 74 present any engineering difficulties of moment, nor will any fOll - or ornamenfal property be interfered with except iindereau imperative necessity. A reserve of shares will be made for landowners on the line, ono the Committee also retain to themselves the power to vary the condo of the line with reference to any arrangements with existing intereete and projected lines that may be considered advantageous to 07e. sharehol&rs.
