It is proposed by this Company to establish a direct line of commu nication between Birmingham, Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hull, at the smallest ontlay of capital, and with the least possible injury to existing interests. To effect this object, use will be made of existing or projected lines, as far as practicable, and the chain of communica tion will be completed by throwing out new lines, where requisite. Commencing at Birmingham, it is proposed to use the Birmingham and Derby Railway as far as Whitacre, whence a new line, about 29 miles in length, will be made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Castle Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid - - land Counties Railway The communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will be earned , Orward as far as Oftinsborough, either by the proposed Not tingham and Gainsborough Railway, or by a line springing out of the _ . line from Nottingham to Lincoln, for which an Act was obtained by the Midland Counties Company during the last session of Parliament. From Galusborough this railway will proceed to Barton-on-the- Humber, or New Holland, in the immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby rendering complete and entire the chain of communication between Birmingham. and Hull. By this project the advantages will result to the public of a Direct line from Birmingham to Nottingham, 19 Birmingham to Gainshorough, and from Birmingham to Hull; and by mea,,,, of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Railway, and the intended extension to Ashby-de-la-Zouch, a direct line from Wolverhampton to Nottingham, and the other towns already enu merated. The support of several companies will be enlisted in favour of the li •e. which, together with its own merits, will ensure its success in Parliament. As a considerable portion of the line of communication is already made, or in progress, the time required for the completion of this great national undertaking will be materially shortened. Independently of the advantages to be derived by a direct commu r•ication between the important seaport of Hull and the mining and manufacturing districts of Warwickshire and Staffordshire, a large traffic in timber, corn, metals, &c., may be confidently expected. The revenue of the Company, in addition, will he derived from the great thorough traffic from Birmingham and the midland counties to Nottingham and Gainsborough, and the immense traffic from Bir mingham to Hull, the'port at which the exports are shipped to Ham burgh, the Ge , man States, and the North of Europe ; and from the conveyance of merchai dise, agricultural produce, and cattle from the Southern, western, and midland counties. A preference will be given in the allotment of shares to landowners on the line, and other local proprietors, as well as to directors and shareholders in railways interested in supporting this undertaking. No subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of the deposit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. The usual power will be taken to allow interest at the rate offour per cent. from the time of payment upon each call until the opening of the line. No applications will be attended to without a reference to a member of the Committee, a banker, or the solicitors to this Company. The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must he executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip certifi cates, of which due notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by any party making default in the execution of those deeds will be for feited. Plans and prospectuses, with forms of applications for shares, may be had of the Solicitors, and of the following Stock and Sharebrokers, viz. :—Messrs.

London and Birmingham, and the lines of railway proposed to con verge at that town from Cheltenham, and the west :rout Worcester and from Warwick, the hue will proceed in a direct course to the market town of Kettering, by which place all 'the companies com peting for the line of railway between London and Manchester pro pose topass. It will then proceed, also, in a direct course to the mark( t towns of Uppingham, Oakham, and Grantham, to Lincoln. The count. - v lying between the towns of Northampton and Gran tham is wholly win:chit existing or even proposed railway accommo dation, not Only to the south, but vise to the north. At Lincoln the line will fork, and proceed on the one hand in a northerly direction to the flourishing port of Gainsberough,- and on the other by a north-eastern course to the market town of Market Raisen, on the rising port-of Great Grimsby. By an union with the Sheffield and Great Grimsby Junction Rail way at Market Raisen, a d rcet and uninterrupted chain of commu nication will be established between all the above-mentioned districts and the town and port 'Of Ilull. . The sources of traffic which this line will secure are various and very considerable ; some of them only can be. here enumerated, viz. : Starting from Great Grimsby the line will appropriate to itself the whole of the traffic thence to the metropolis, and also the southern and western districts of the country, and, in addiCon, it will secure the important and increasing local traffic between that town and Market Raisen and Lincoln. From Gainsborough, the termini of several railways from the north and north-west, this line will carry the traffic to Lincoln, its county town. The traffic from Hull to the metropolis, and also to the west, will enter upon this line at Market Balm, and procsed thereon to Lincoln. From Lincoln the whole of the traffic passing to the west and the intermediate towns must pass over this line. In the event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not obtaining Melt' Bill, then the traffic from Lineal to the south and west, and also the metropolis, will pass along this line of railway; the former the whole distance, and the latter at any event to Gran tham, a distance of about twenty-five miles; and should the London and York Company not succeed, such traffic will proceed on to Ket tering or Northampton. The enthe district between Grantham and Kettering, a distance of more than forty miles, and including the market towns of Oakham and UpPingham, is without railway or water-carriage accommoda tion, and the whole of its traffic therefore will travel over this line of railway, which will be in the direct course not only to the west but also to London. At Kettering this line will unite with that one of the now com peting schemes passing that town from Manchester and Leicester to London which shall be successful before Parliament. The countryis free front engineering difficulties, with one or two exceptions only, and those are more than counterbalanced by the very favourable gradients of by far the greater portion of the line ; indeed, for many miles the line will run upon a water level. The lire will not interfere with any ornamental property. The landowners on the line are favourable to the undertaking. The promoters reserve power to alter and vary the route, and ex tend the . proposed line of railway, and to increase the amount of capital, as may be necessary or advisable.

Should the projected line - from Macclesfield to Sheffield be carried into effect, it will then add am;ther, important commercial town to those already ad verted to, and increase the traffic to a vast extent. A reference to the map will readily show the great importan ce and utility of such a line. A more than usual revenue may be calculated upon in the goods traffic from those great emporiums of commerce above alluded to, without taking into consideration the Immense raisen 'et- traffic which must necessarily arise upon so important a line of railway. Every regard will be paid to local accommodation, and a close scrutiny will convince those who are aware of the exigencies of the towns and districts embraced within the scope of the intended line of the advantages which must accrue from it.

OFFICES—No. 70, King William-street, Mansion-house, London The object of the promoters of this Company is to form a d irec t ent line of railway, from Bristol and Bath to Dover; and thus, in e unite, connect, or reciprocate with, all the existing and protected lines of railway In the south and south-west and west ofEng te land, as well also as form a complete communication with Ireland and all the western and Welsh railways, and most of those in the northern and great manufacturing districts, by which p assen g ers and goods to and from Folkestone and Dover, France and Belgium, may be conveyed without the necessity of passing through the me tropolis. The main line to be laid down by the Company will be censiderably less than 100 miles, throughout which the strongest encouragement and support hive been manifestedtowards this railway by the landed proprietors, many of whom have determined to invest capital in the undertaking; and the engineer's report precludes any apprehen sion of engineering difficulties. The great public utility and com. mercial advantages of railway communication between the important places and ports which it is now contemplated to unite must be at once appreciated by reference to a map of the country, and they will be forcibly illustrated by the objects to be attained by this Company. This line is Intended to begin at Bristol by means of the Great Western Railway, and passing through Bath to Bath Hampton it will skirt the valley of the Avon, to Bradford, and thence to Trowbridge. It will then take as straight a direction as can n be obtained to Devises, All Cannings, Petesey, Burbage, Sh'itc'torkee' West Wocdhay, High Clere, and Overton, on to Basingstoke, where it will unite with the South Western Railwsaeyv,„..d from the western counties the distance wi x ll ist t i a n e g tine. It milesill shorter to the metropolis than by any then, by means of the South Western th Railway,miles) il ee)proceed on to near whence, leaving Farnborough (a distance of p iourte o e n ward to Ashe, Guildford, Farnham to the south, will it s a t ' : where it wlll unite with the Carnahan, anti Dorking to es t 3 .f.y_.(the latter, eighteen miles South Eastern and Dover it from Guildford to Reigate will le all probability be constructed by another Company.) In its course it will thread its way through the lines of really of h rail wa ys already constructed or projected — the junction of the ra- w hich will n ot only be estimated as a great public convenience , b u t prove hig hly a dvantageous to the several Companies interested,pro ;ieaing an immense traffic, that must stream from Ireland —from our great manufacturing districts in the north—the CiOtil and Corn markets of the west of England—the mineral and coal fields of Wales, and the hop districts in Kent—all of which point to the formation of this railway as a great desideratum, as well also as to forma direct communication with France, Belgium, and the con tinent generally. The distance to be saved by this railway will exceed thirty miles from Bath (and all the towns north-west) to Dover ; while to many of the towns southwest of Bristol sixty miles or more will be saved by this railway in union with some of the other lines and the eften dilasreeable and costly necessity (at pvent uitting) cf puling through I,ndr_li, to cr from Dover, ------.• will be entire'y obviated, and manufacturers and merchantein mos' parts of the country, west and north, or south, win be thus en.. aided to forward and receivegoods direct from and to Dever an i Folkstone, avoiding the present inconvenient mode and expense of transference from railway to railway across London. i Any attempt to distinguish the number of passengers proceed ing to or from London, or the provinces and the continent by the South Eastern and Dover Railway, would be abortive; but the published statements of that Company show that the traffic ex. ceeds 8,0001. weekly, and the accounts of arrivals at, and departures from Calais, Boulogne, and Ostend, exhibit an astonishing number of persons as passengers to and from England weekly, by Dover and Folkenstone, throughout the whole of the year. Yielding to the metropolis one.half of the number as a large proportion, the remaining half will belong to the provinces and Ireland, who will probably prefer to be conveyed from or to their localities without the annoyance of being compelled to pass through London, es. pecially as the saving of distance alone will considerably diminish expenses. The construction of this line of railway can hardly fail to meet the full approvol of the Government; as, besides its great com mercial utility, the convenience it will afford for the speedy tran. sport of troops from Ireland, or the north. south, or west of Eng land to Dover, in a direct manner, avoiding the present necessity of marching them across London or ether towns, after they are once placed iii railway carriages, must begreatly appreciated ; arid where it is expedient that expedition and secrecy should be observed in the removal of troops, the means offered by this Company will greatly assist the authorities in facilitating their objects. The railways already constructed or projected with which this line of railway will effect a union or communication, and recipro cate, advantages exceed fifty in number (as will be seen by examin. ing any railway map), and all of them must be in direct commu nication with, and will feed, or be fed by The Southern Counties Union, and Bristol, Bath, and Dover Direct Railway ; the most important junctions being those leading to this line from the north and the manufacturing districts by Oxford to Dovor and Brighton, those from Ireland, North Vales by Cheltenham or Oxford arid this railway to Dover or Brighton, and those from the south and west of England' by Salisbury to Dover ; thus effecting a con tinuance and direct intercourse with nearly every part of Eng land, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and the continent. The census returns show that this railway will pass through a country containing a population of upwards of one million, and this number, though large, may be fairly multiplied several times, if all the other parts of the kingdom which will benefit by it be can sidered. With there facts before them, the promoters have not deemed it necessary to put forth estimates of traffic; the soundness of the project being guaranteed by the truths already given in this brief exposition, and the great objects intended to be compassed by this Company.
