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 and the other ports, harbours, and inland:towns of the United Kingdom, must necessarily be regarded as a great national advantage. Dover is at present the chief port of embarkation for Calais, Boulogne, Ostend, and other continental towns, and the vest numbers already resorting there both on business and pleasure, will be im measurably increased when the railways of France, Belgium, Hol land, and Germany are fully brought into operation. In addition to which, the Government Commissioners having selected Dover as a Harbour of Refuge, and recommended the outlay then , of 1,500,0001., It cannot fall of becoming a place of the greatest resort for the shipping and commercial interests of the coun try, and perhaps the most hnportant town on the southern coast. - . . ...... In every point of view, therefore,. whether for national security, or 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 great port and all parts of the kingdom, must ho sufficiently obvious. This the pro.. motors 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 lire will commence at the terminus of the South-Eastern Rail way at Reigate, proceed thence by Dorkin;, Godahning, Farnham, and Odiham to the Basingstoke station, on the South-Western Rail way. It will then proceed by Andover towards Devizes, Trow bridge, and Bradford, with a branch to Bath, and pursuing its esurse through the Somersetshire coal-field, throwing off a branch towards Radstock into the heart of the collicries,",:terminate in a junction with the Bristol and Birmingham Railway at Bristol. By its course through Dorking, Godalming, Farnham, and Ckli ham, it will supply the railway accommodation so much required by those towns, and connect the rich and fertile hop districts of Surrey, Kent, and South Rants, and afford the means of conveyance of their produce to the great Hop-fair at Weyiiiit. By its junction with the contemplated " Reading, Guildford, and Reigate Raihvay," it will afford to the inhabitants of Reading, Oxford, and to the midland counties generally, the best and shortest route to time Continent, as well as to Worthing, Hastings, Brighton, and the other watering-places in Sussex and Kent ; and a vast increase of visitors will undoubtedly be attracted to those places from the interior of England by the accommodation and facilities tbr travelling which will be accomplished by this and the proposed railway from Reading. By its intersection of the South-Western Railway at Basingstoke, and of the proposed Manchester and Southampton Railway further west, the present line will connect Dover towards the south, with Southampton (the packet station for the East and West Indies, &c.), Gosport, and I ortsmouth, and towards the north, with Cheltenham, Gloucester, Worcester, Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool, also with Shrewsbury, Chester, and Holyhead, and in fact with the whole of North and South Wales. At Basingstoke, also, this line will join the proposed London, Salis bury, and Yeovil Railway, and throw open to Dover and the south eastern counties the populous and wealthy cities of Salisbury and Exeter, the rich' agricultural counties of Wilts, Dorset, Somerset, and Devon, the ports of Plymouth, Devonport, and Falmouth, and the mineral regions of Cornwall. To Devizes, Trowbridge, Bradford, and Bath, and the other towns in the vicinity of its course, the benefit which this line will confer camot 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 securing to them the whole of the trade between the south-east 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 aeser.lng of their c o r di a l sopnor r In the memorable Parliamentary contest last session between two great rival companies, the Legislature for the first time admitted that princip7e of competition with existing interests which was claimed by the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company for the protection" and benefit of the public ; and it is with no fear of the result that the promoters of the present undertaking invite attention to one distinguishing feature it contains, viz., that by the construction of the line from Bristol t, Basingstoke, the Box Tunnel will be avoided, and a new and independent communication will be established between Bristol and London, by a shorter line on the narrow gauge than by the devious course of the Great Western, inde pendently of all the advantages of the proposed central station at llungerford-bridge, and the convenient access to the Thames both there and at Nine Elms, over the distant and inconvenient station of tile Great Western at Paddington. In length the proposed line will be nearly 110 miles (assuming this Company to have the construction of that portion between Reigate and Dorking, for which plans have been deposited by the South- Eastern Company)—the country through which it passes does not present any engineering difficulties of moment, nor will any resi dential or ornamental property be interfered with except ander an imperative necessity. A reserve of shares will be made for landowners on the line, and the Committee also retain to themselves the power to vary the course of the line with reference to any arrangements with existing interests and projected lines that may be considered advantageous to the shareholders. The capital proposed to be raised is 1,500,0001., in 75,000 shares of 201. each, with a deposit of 21. 2s. per share, to be paid on allotment. Power will be taken by the Act to allow interest, at 41. per cent. per annum, upon all deposits and subscriptions until the opening of the line, and uo subscriber shall be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act has been obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription.

Brook and Freeman, The object of this undertaking is to form a continuous line of rail way frmn Leeds to Liverpool, by extending the lines already made, or sanctioned by Parliament, from their respective termini at Hud dersfield, in Yorkshire, and Bury, in Lancashire, through the inter vening country between Huddersfield and Bury, for which extension a line of railway only 23 miles in length is requisite. The proposed line will commence at the Huddersfield station, between which place and Leeds Parliament has already sanctioned the iormation of rail ways, and from Huddersfield the proposed line will proceed by way of Hillhouse, Birchencliffe, and Lindley, and thence along the valley between Stainland and Greetland, through Balk!sland, the Vale of Ripponden, and by Rochdale to Bury, in Lancashire, where it will join the terminus of the Liverpool and Bury line of railway. In addition to completing a direct communication from Liverpool to Leeds, Hull, and Goole by the shortest practicable route, and by a much smaller outlay of capital,than by:any other proposed line, it will provide for a large and important manufacturing population, hitherto without the advantage of railway accommodation, an outlet to the south by means of the Huddersfield and Sheffield Junction Railway, and to Manchester and North anA South Lancashire by the railways above mentioned, and by the Leeds and Manchester Railway, by a proposed junction therewith at Rochdale. This line when completed will, in addition to the advantages which it presents as a through line, pass through a succession of valleys thickly studded with mills and manufactories, consuming a large quantity of raw materials and coal, all of which are brought from a distance, and transmitting to other districts the produce of their in dustry, fur which purposes a line of railway has become absolutely necessary, and there can be no doubt that au ample return will be realised for the outlay of capital required. The distance between Huddersfield and Rochdale by the present line of railway is thirty miles, which by the proposed railway will be reduced to seventeen miles. The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the right of en tering into any arrangements with existing railway companies that may appear desirable. And power will be taken by the Act of Par liament to allow interest to the shareholders at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum on the amounts paid on their shares from the respective times of payment to the times of opening the railway. Applications for shares may be addressed, in the subjoined form, to any of the undermentioned Sharebrokers, viz.—Messrs.

This railway will commence by a junction with the lines of the Eastern Counties, the Lynn and Ely, and the Ely and Huntingdon, Railways, at the city of Ely, and proceed thence, via Mildenhall, to Bury St. Edmunds, forming there a junction with the railway from that town to Ipswich, now in course of construction. The town of Bury St. Edmunds and the adjacent districts, and all the country through which the line will pass, have for generations drawn their supply of coals, timber, deals, wine, oil-cake, tar, flag stones, and other general merchandise, from the port of Lynn, and have transmitted thither their own corn, flour, wool, fruit, and other agricultural produce, for shipment to the northern markets. While the proposed line will affect the local object of preserving the mercantile connexion that has so long subsisted between the county of Suffolk and the port of Lynn, it will effect the national one of affording to the ports of Ipswick and Harwich, and the im portant towns of Colchester and Bury St. Edmunds, a direct com munication with Lancashire, Yorkshire, and the north, and, by means of the Ely aad Huntingdon, and the propose. Rugby and Huntingdon Railways, with Birmingham and the west. From these sources a most ample return on the capital required for the undertaking may be confidently relied on. The line is singularly easy of construction, the estimated cost, in cluding every contingency, being little above 8,0001. per mile ; it will not interfere with ornamental grounds of any kind, and it is not anticipated that any opposition will be offered by the landowners. The Provisional Directors are to be at liberty to take all such measures as they may deem requisite for obtaining the necessary powers to construct the line or any part thereof, with such branches, extensions, or alterations, as they shall be advised to adopt ; and for such powers, or any of them, they are to have power to increase the amount of the capital, to lease or sell the line to, or amalgamate the same with, the Lynn and Ely, Ely and Huntingdon, and Lynn and Dereham Railway Companies, or any or either of them, or any other company or companies. It is proposed to raise the capital by issuing 10,000 shares of 201. each, a deposit of 21. 2s. per share (in compliance with the Standing Orders of Parliament) to be paid on allotment. There will be as interval of two months between the calls, and not more than 51. per share will be called for at one time. A Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract, in such form and with such clauses as the Provisional Directors may think right, will lie for signature at the offices of the Solicitors, in London and Lynn, on payment of the deposit. Arrangements will be made for transmitting the deeds to the principal provincial towns in or near which the shareholders may reside, due notice whereof will be sent to every shareholder by post. As under arrangements entered into with the Lynn and Ely, Ely and Huntingdon, and Lynn and Dereham, Railway Companies, a large proportion of the capital has been appropriated to the holders of shares in those companies, a very limited number of shares only is at the disposal of the Provisional Directors, and no application for shares, therefore, eats be attended to, except from parties locally interested and of the highest respectability, by whom applica tions may be made, in the annexed form, on or before the 13th October, 1845, to the Secretary, at the Company's Offices, Lynn, Norfolk, or to the respective solicitors ; no application, however, can in any case be attended to unless accompanied by a reference to one of the Provisional Committee, or to the Solicitors or Bankers of the Company. To the Provisional Committee of the Ely and Bury St. Edmunds Railway. I request you to allot me shares of 201. each in the above undertaking, and I hereby engage to accept the same, or any less number which may be allotted to me, and to pay the deposit thereon, and to execute the Parliamentary Contract and Subscribers' Agree. went when required.

The line, in its course, will unite the town of Barnet with Whet stone, Totteridge, Highwood Hill, Mill Hill, Finehley, Holder's Hill, Hendon, Burrows, Golder's Hill, Gutterhedge, Kingsbury, Neesdon, Wilsdon, Wilsdon Green.

The distance front the town of Barnet to the station of the London and Birmingham Railway, at Euston-square, by this route, will bo _ _ 15 miles. The length of the main line, from the point of junction at Totten ham to the London and Birmingham Railway, will he 11 miles ; awl the length of the branch line to Barnet, will be 4y, miles. From the junction with the Birmingham Railway to Chipping Barnet, 934 miles ; from the Decoy (near Brent-street, Ilendon), on the proposed Barnet and North 3letropolitan Junction Railway, to the Northern and Eastern Counties Railway, by Stamford-hill, 6 1 . r There are no engineering difficulties throughout the entire distance. The line will proceed beyond the range of the Highgate and Hamp stead Hills, and the branch from the main line to Barnet will follow the valley of the river Brent to the intended station at Barnet ; thus the expense of construction will be less than any other metropolitan line of railway, for the above reason, and because it will pass through an agricultural district, avoiding all ornamental property and large collections of houses and buildings. Upon the completion of this railway, 'a large and daily-increasing population, resident beyond the limits of the metropolitan omnibuses, will be largely benefited, and land and agricultural produce, hitherto aftording an inadequate return to their cultivators, will be quad rupled in value. The ancient, populous, and once-flourishing town of Barnet, too, will now have a railway communication of its own, without depend ing upon the caprice or uncertain goodnature of any company who may hold out a prospect of a branch, in future times, from some of the trunk lines now contemplated. An ample return of profit to the investments of shareholders may be safely anticipated, and will arise from the following sources, amongst others:- 1. From the conveyance of passengers. 2. From the carriage of goods and merchandise from the City and Docks, &c., to the several railways which are intersected by this line, avoiding the delay and excessive cost of conveyance through London ; also from the conveyance of cattle, &c., more particularly during the period of the large Barnet fairs 3d. From - the conveyance of coal, both inland and seaborne fuel, and other commodities of general consumption, the great expense of which has long been felt by all classes as a most grievcts ev...

The entire distance being completed in about 18 miles. The importance of this railway, though only 18 miles In length, will be at once seen by an inspection of the map, when the following points will be self-evident. 1. That the port of Wisbech is the nearest sea-port for Birming ham, Stafford.shire, snd the Midland districts of England. 2. That this line will open the whole of the manufacturing and mineral districts of the Midland Counties and the Potteries to Wis bech, the nearest ixirt for Belgium, Holland, Germany, and the nor thern States of Europe. _ _ 3. That by the formation of this line a direct railway ommunica- Hon will be opened between the port of Wisbech, and the ports of Southampton, Bristol, Gloucester, and Liverpool. 4.

The intrortauce of connecting remote parts of E..gland by Rail ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon lutennediate towns and districts, can scarcely be better exemplified than by the Line which is Low proposed to form a short and direct channel of inter course between Oxford and Salisbury. Numerous projected lines now before the public will make Oxford at the north, and Salisbury at the south of the intended Railroad the central points from which various radii will diverge to the north-west, north, and north-east of the former, and to the east, south, and west of the latter; and the proposed Line from Cambridge to Oxford, continuing to that city the ccr.:rse of Railway from the north-eastern parts of the island, requires the appliance now suggested to effect a complete means of transit to the westeni and south-western counties. The Oxford and :;alisbury Direct Railway, in addition to the benefits which will be conferred upon the nation at large, by preferring a direct line of connutin , cation be tween the north-eastern and western and south-western parts of England, will afford to the boron2ll of Abingdon, the market towns of Wantage, Ilungerford, and Ludgershall, and the adjacent villages, an important railway accommodation, of which the agricultural districts in which they are seated stand in much reed, and will provide a facility for the interchange of produce be tween the rural, manufacturing, and commercial population of the kingdom. The want of railway- accommodation has long been felt to press unfairly upon the inhabitants of the important and thriving town of Abingdon. Their means and opportunities of competing with the more fortunate traders of those towns which are already provided with di rect channels of transit, are thus sevetay crippled. The same remark applies in some degree to the market town of Wantage, which, as well as Hungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits and advantages produced lay railway traffic. It has therefore been determined to commence the propose& ne at Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdon to the station of the Great Western Railway at Steventon, thus giving to Abingdon a direct rail road to London. By continuing the projected railway to Wantage, the same facility of transit to London will be afforded to that place ; and a perfect line of road from the north-eastern muffles will, by a junc tion with the projection from Cambridge to Oxford, be produced, through the towns which have been named, Ffungeriord and Ludgers hall to Salisbury, and thence to the south and western ports and dis tricts. _ . • . A map of the line, and a statistical report of the whole country intended to be traversed, is in course of preparation, and with the names of an influential provisional Committee, will very shortly be published. in the meantime, further information may be ob tained front Messrs. Elmslie and Preston, 47, Moorgate-street, London, solicitors to the undertaking, to whom, at present, applica tion for shares may be made. "MiNNII.
