The formation of a direct line of railway between Hull and rive metropolis. 2. The supply of local railway accommodation to the Important districts embraced by the line. 3. The benefit of railway communication with the metropolis ex tended to a district of country, west of Grantham, upwards of 5u miles in length at present unprovided with that accommodation. 4. The completion of the chain of railway communication between Bristol, Gloucester, the river Severn, and the southern and western counties, and the north-eastern districts of the kingdom and the river Humber, and its ports, Including that of Hull. 5. The connecting of the two important ports of Hull and South ampton by one continuous chain of railways. Commencing at the town of Northampton, in conjunction with the London and Birmingham, the Northampton, Banbury, and Chelten ham, and the other lines of railway proposed to converge at that town from the west, from Worcester and from Warwick, the line will proceed in a direct course to the market town of Kettering, by which place all the companies competing for the line of railway between London and Manchester propose to pass. It will then pro ceed, also, in a direct course by the market towns of Uppingham, Oakham, and Grantham, to Lincoln. The country lying between the towns of Northampton and Gran tham is wholly without existing or even proposed railway accommo dation, not only to the south, but also to the north. Front Lincoln the line will proceed byithe shortest and best practi cable course to Hull. The sources of traffic which this line will secure are various and very considerable ; some of them only can be here enumerated. They are, — Starting from Hull the line will appropriate to itself the whole bf the traffic thence to the Metropolis, Bristol, Southampton, Glouces ter, Oxford, Cheltenham, and the whole of the Southern and Western districts of the kingdom, and, in addition, it will secure the very im portant and Increasing local traffic between Hull and Lincoln and the intermediate towns. In the event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not obtaining their Act of Parliament, then the traffic from the before mentioned places and Lincoln to the south and west, also to the me tropolis, will pass along this line of railway ; the former the whole distance, and the latter in any event to Grantham, a distance of about twenty-five miles ; and should the London and York Company not succeed, such traffic will proceed further toKettering or Northampton. The entice 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 t• the west but also to London. _ ..... At Kette•ing 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. From ihe singularly important advantages which this undertaking presents to the capitalist, as well as to the public at large, the Pro visional Directors do not think it necessary, with reference ito the supposed traffic or otherwise, to say more than that they fully be lieve that the return will be, upon the capital required, highly re munerative. The country is free from engineering difficulties, with one or two exceptions only, and those are more than counterbalanced by the very favourable gradients of by far the greate? portion of the lino ; indeed, for many miles the line will run upon a water level. The lire will not interfere with any ornamental property. The promoters have made every necessary arrangement for the active prosecution of the undertaking, and for applying to Parlia ment in the ensuing session. No call will be made, with the exception of the deposit, till the Act is obtained, and power will be applied for in the Act of Parliament, to allow interest at the rate of 4/. per cent. per annum on all calls from the date of their payment, and to limit the liability of each share holder to the amount of his subscription. The landowners on the line arc favourable to the undertaking. The promoters reserve power to alter and vary the route, to ex tend the proposed line of railway to Great Grimsby or elsewhere, and to increase the amount of capital, as may be necessary or ad visable. Prospectuses and Plans may be obtained on application to any of the several Solicitors or Local Agents, the Secretary, or to the fol lowing Brokers, viz. : —Messrs. reppercorne and Co., 2, Old Broad street ; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39, Lothbury ; or Messrs. Edward Ellis and Co. 33, Threadneedle-street, London; Messrs, Freeman and Son, or Mr. Cornfield, Northampton ; Messrs. Flint and Tootal, Messrs.

SECRETART....-Z• Hubbersty, Esq. y r c e o m n o fe t r e red upon intermediate towns parts of England by rail ways,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 nl i ir i g t r h ta c n a c d e va o n f tag now before the public will make Oxford at the north, and Salisbury advantages tli e conne c tingr a 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 south and west of the latter ; and the proposed line from Cambridge to Oxford, continuin g to that city the cw.: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 western and south-western counties. The Oxford and t alisbury Direct Railway, in addition to the benefits which will be conferred upon the nation at large, by perfecting direct line of communication be tween the north-eastern and western and south-western parts of England, will afford to the borough of Abingdon, the market towns of Wantage, Idungerford, and Ludgershall, and the adjacent villages, an important railway accommodation, of which the agricultural districts in which they are seated stand in much need, and will provide a facility for the interchange of produce be tween the rural, manufacturing, and commercial population of the kingdom. The projected line will bring the Cathedral City of Salis bury into immediate connexion with the City and University of Oxford, combining also the advantage of a direct communication with the sister University of Cambridge ; thus strengthening the ecclesiastical and academical relations of the whole, whilst the com mercial prosperity of the two terminal cities must of necessity be essentially enhanced. 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 severely crippled. The same remark applies in some degree to the market town of Wantage, which, as well as Bungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits, and advantages produced Hy railway traffic. It has therefore been determined to commence the proposed line 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 counties will, by a jute- tion with the projection tram Cambridge to Oxford, he produced, through the towns which have been named, Idungerford and Ludgers hall, to Salisbury, and thence to the south and western ports and dis tricts. The survey is in a state of great forwardness, and will be com pleted in Futricient time to enable tha Company to apply to Parlia ment in the next session ; end the promoters having received general aril most. satKactory a,sarinites of supriort Irons the local gentry, lamlowiteN, traders, aryl infinclitii'.i inhabitants, have reasonable iiToiind to anticipate the unabstt =fed passing of the necessary Act for the formation of the Oxford and Salisbury Direct Railway during the ensuing session.

This Company has been farmed for the purpose of opening a line of railway communlcatio - e. between Calais and Bruges, passing through important districts of France and Belgium containing a population of above 600,000 inhabitants, and forming a junction with the State Railway at Bruges, which has now become the most direct route to the interior of Belgium, Germany, Prussia, and the countries east of the French frontier. _ _ In laying before the public the prospectus of this proposed line, it may be mentioned as one of its principal advantages, that it will reduce the passage from London to Brussels, now occupying twenty-four or twenty-six hours, under the most favourable circum stances, and often thirty or forty, to twelve hours, rendering it prac ticable to make the journey with ease in one day, and at two-thirds of the present expense. The long, tedious, and uncertain sea voyage will also be avoided from Dover to Ostend, which, to travellers gene rally, and particularly to ladies and invalids, is exceedingly dis agreeable, and often attended wirh serious emsequenees. It can hardly admit of a question, that the principal part of the passenger traffic between the two capitals, London and Brussels, to gether with the passenger traffic of the populous cities of Antwerp, and Ghent, the latter being the Manchester of Belgium, and the im portant towns of St. Nicholar and Tierlmond, will be, under these circumstances, drawn into this channel ; and another important ad vantage to the public, and source of revenue to the Company, will be found in the transmission of the Belgian, German, and Prussian mails, which are now conveyed by steamers from Dover to Ostend,i at a very considerable expense, and with much less:certainty and ex pedition than if transmitted to Calais, a sea passage of only 24 miles, and usually made in two hours. The traffic and expenditure may be fairly estimated as follows : From 50,090 passengers, who, according to the recent re- • •: turns from Ostend and Antwerp, annually visit the conti nent and return by this route, say, from each, on rage, 10s. each way £SO 000 For the transport of mails from the respective Govern' 10.3 1 . 10,600 Local traffic in goods and passengers .....• • ... •...i.!••••.' 50,000 - k £llO,OOO Deduct the expenses of working the line, calculated at' •••, , • 30,000 £BO,OOO Thus leaving a profit of 10% per cent. to the shareholders, with every prospect of a considerable increase annually in the traffic, as has been by experience proved to be the result on all the other lines in operation in Belgium, as well as other countries. The projected railroad would pass through a perfectly level tract of country rich in agricultural productions, presenting no natural impediments to its construction, and would require neither tunnels nor viaducts ; and the only bridges necessary would be the spanning of a few dykes. Thus the construction would be unattended with heavy expense, and its working, when completed, of the same eco nomical character; for, as experience has shown, the most consider able item iu working a railway is the supply of coal for the locomo tives ; the proximity to the port of Dunkirk, and the easy access to the Belgian coal fields, obviate this difficulty. This line, which has been already examined by an eminent engi neer, will he absut sixty miles in extent from one extremity to the other ; will connect in its route the towns of Calais, Gravelines, and Dunkirk. in France, with Furness, Nieuport, and Bruges, in Bel gium ; thus securing a very important local traffic in goods and pas scugcrs, independent of the foreign traffic before alluded to, placing the possibility of its paying beyond all doubt. Arrangements are in progress and strongly supported by persons of the highest influence both In Belgium and France for obtaining the consent of the Belgian and French Governments to the above line ; and as it is so obviously advantageous to the former Government to encourage the formation of a line, bringing two such important capitals as Brussels and London within ten hours distance of each other, and the intention of the latter to encourage the formation of a continuous line of railway round the coast, little doubt is entertained by the Directors in Belgium, France, and England, of such applications proving successful. In the event of the applications proving unsuccessful, the deposits will be returned, with the exception of a charge on each share, not exceeding five shillings. Application for prospectuses and forms of application may be made at the Company's offices, and the offices of the solicitors, 5, Basing hall-street; and to the following brokers:— London—Messrs.

Westall The great objects of this company are twofold. The first is to esta• Wish the most direct line of railway communication between all th midland and southern and northern counties of England ; and also with Scotland, by a short junction line of about 22 miles in length from the North Union Railway', at or near Parkside, to apoint on the Manchester and Birmingham Railway, at or near Prestbury, and thence to Macclesfield, there uniting with some one or more of such of the undermentioned proposed lines, to or near that place, as may be sanctioned by Parliament, ind effict a junction with the Trent Val ley, London and Birmingham, and Midland Counties Railways Birmingham and Manchester Direct Railway Churnet and Blyth, or Macclesfield and Lichfield Junction Railway Tenn and Dove Valley North Staffordshire London and Manchester Direct (Remington's and Rastrick's Amalgamated) North Cheshire South Union Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Manchester and Rugby Direct Direct Sheffield and Macclesfield. A continuous line of railway communication will thus be formed from Lyndon, Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and the Potteries, with Wigan. Preston, the ports of Fleetwood and Lancaster, and with Carlisle; and from that place, by the Caledonian Railway, to Edinburgh and Glasgow, and all the important cities and towns in Scotland, thus establishing the most important and uninter rupted, and at the same time the shortest and most expeditious line of communication between the metropolis of England and that of Scotland, and all the intermediate places. In conjunction with the oposed line from Sheffield to Macclesfield, the most direct commu nication between Liverpool and Sheffield will be effected. The second object of this Company is by the proposed branch to Warrington, there uniting with the contemplated line of the Grand Junction Railway Company from that place to the Liverpool and and Manchester Railway, at Huyton, to effect the shortest and most convenient line of communication between Macclesfield, Warrington, and Liverpool. When it is considered that Macclesfield and its environs, with a population of 30,000, must become so important a centre of railway communication from the midland, western, and southern counties of England, and that there is not at present any direct railway front thence, connecting it with all the important manufacturing, coal, and other mineral districts, in the direct line to Scotland, and that this line would meet the existing deficiency, and form the most di rect route, by effecting of saving of sixteen miles in the distance front 'Macclesfield to Parkside and also to Warrington, over any esta blished or proposed line in a northern direction—the desireableness of this project, in a na ional point of view, must, it is presumed, be ad mitted ; anti that it will form an important trunk line of communi cation, over which a larger amount of passenger traffic, agricultural, mineral, and the manufacturing produce would pass, titan any other line of the same length in the kingdom. The advantage which this project offers to the public will be sufficiently apparent, without fur ther comment. The liability of each shareholder will be restricted to the amount of the shares taken; and power will be applied for in the Bill to allow interst, at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum, on all calls Made team the time of payment to the optlnti;,.! of the line. of the t o a pro•,n'es , ;, and, with other neees t4.lay, in order to g, with: to l'arli.ilncut io the ermtlng st,siOn• Plans of the line, and copies of tile prospectus, and forms of ap plication for shares, may be had from the Company's solicitors; or from the following sharebrokers:—Mr. T.

SECRETARY-4011n Trevor, Esq. • This railway will commence at the important town of Wolver hampton, proceeding through or near to Seisdon, Trysull, and Cia verly, to the manufacturing town of Bridgnorth : from thence it will continue through a rich agricultural and populous district to Lud low, and there fall into other projected lines to all paris of England, North and South Wales, and Ireland, a distance of about thirty-two miles. It will afford direct communication between Ludlow, Bridgnorth, and Wolverhampton, Dudley, &c. ; and, by the South Staffordshire Junction Railway give to those town:: and districts the most direct route for passengers and goods to and from the Central, North Eastern, and Eastern parts of the Kingdom, and from which those towns have hitherto been excluded by every project of the day. It will convey to the agricultural districts of Herefordshire and South Shropshire, and also to the towns of Bridgnorth and Ludlow, coals and the mineral productions of Staffordshire, Worcestershire, and the Clee-hills, at nearly one-half the present cost of those neces sary articles, and be the means of conveyance for corn, cattle, sheep, cider, wool, hops, and other agricultural productions, as also timber from the before-mentioned agricultural counties, to the heart of the mining and manufacturing districts, which cannot fail to produce an immense traffic. To the towns embraced in this Pne, the value of obtaining thereby, at the cheapest rate, coal and the necessaries of life, will be of the utmost importance. One principal feature in this projection is, that as either Ludlow or Bridgnorth will lie in the direct route of one of the projects to be pro posed to Parliament in the next session, for the most direct commu nication between Ireland and the Metropolis, this line will thereby afford to passengers the easist.communication to and from the central parts of the kingdom. It is satisfactory to the promoters to state, that they have the sanction of the Grand Junction Company, and the co-operation of the Shrewsburyf Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire Junction, and the South Staffordshire Junction Companies, and that no project has been announced in competition with its acknowledged claim on public suoport. The whole line is free from engineering difficulties, and oan be con structed at a moderate cost, and has obtained the approval of the landed interest, whose ornamental properties have been strictly protected. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the Company will be under the direction and control of the Committee of Management, who are hereby empowered to enter into such ar rangements as shall best serve the interests •f this Company and the public, with existing or projected companies, and also to nominate the first directors of the Company. Power will be taken under the Act to limit the responsibility of Shareholders to the amount of their subscription, and to allow four per cent. interest on the calls. Preference to the allotment of shares will be given to those locally interested, and to the shareholders of lines in connexion with this.

DISTRICT BANKERS. The Branches of the London and County' Joint-Stock Bank a Tunbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Lewes, and Brighton. At Hasting—Measrs. Smith, Hillier, and Co. The object of this company is to effect a direct communicatior by railway, between Tunbridge Wells and Hastings, and alai between Tunbridge Wells and Brighton. The Hastings line (about twenty-two miles in length) will corn.' mence at Tunhridge Wells, and run near Frant, Wadhurst Lamberhurst, Etchingham, Hurst Green, Robertsbridge. Whatlin ton, and Battle, having its terminus at the extremity of Hastin;,.. The Brighton line (about twenty-two miles in length) will corn- , mence at Tunbridge Wells, and take a direct course to Brighter passing near Mayfield, Rotherfield, Uckfield, Little Horsted, am: Lewes, where it will form a junction with the line, which is, nearly completed, between Lewes and Brighton. The numerous visitors and inhabitants of the fashionable watering-places of Tunbridge Wells, Brighton, and Hastings, will thus not merely enjoy the means of rapid communication with each other by railway —an advantage which ought to have been supplied to them before this—but will also have, respectively, when the proposed line from London to Tunbridge is formed, a continued and direct railway to the metropolis. The area embraced within these lines of railway is justly re. markable for the variety and value of its agricultural product , being one of the most extensive hop-districts in England, and no inferior in general fertility to any part of the kingdom ; and when it is considered that the metropolis is the principal, indeed, it may almost be said, the exclusive market for its productions, the profits arising from the conveyance of those productions alone must form (independent of passenger traffic) a very large source of revenue to the shareholders. Even from the already developed resources of the extensive, wealthy, and populous districts through which the Company's lines will run, the most encouraging estimate of results may be justly entertained; and when the Hastings Dock and Harbour Company (which has already been provisionally registered) shall have carried into effect the proposed improvements, the line from that town to Tunbridge Wells must become one of the most profitable in Eng. land, as it will then be the great highway of continental tourists. The route from London to Paris, by Hastings and Dieppe, is de cidedly the most direct, as well as the most interesting, which a glance at the map of Europe will satisfactorily show. . . - . To the town of Hastings and St. Leonard's, the greatept advan tages must accrue from the establishment of a railway, bringin.:: them within two hours of the metropolis, and, through it, by th great line of which it is the focus, connecting them with ever I . portion of the country. An immense increa se in the number ' their opulent :visitors must neeeesarily be the consequence, tl climate of that part of the coast of Sussex being universally cm. • sidered equally salubrious as the most favoured parts of Devon. The Company have in contemplation the formation of a brand from the moat convenient point on their Hastings line, to Wi, chelsea and the town and port of Rye, or to connect that Line wi the Hastings and Ashford Coast line; either of which obje, can be carried out at a very moderate expense, and must con derably increase the value of the principal project. To the inhabitants of Lewes and Brighton, the advantages to' derived from the Hastings line must be great. It will give creased facilities for the transport of the produce of the distri , ". through which it passes, and will complete the railway commin cation between Canterbury, Maidstone, Chatham, Rochester, a other towns in the county of Kent, and Brighton, Chichestc Poitsmouth, Southampton, and other important towns in ti western parts of the country. The existing traffic in passengers and goods (which must 1 materially increased by the establishment of railways) are too w, known to require a detailed statement in this prospectus, _ . _ cannot fail to secure to the shareholders x large interest on ti capital invested. A preliminary survey of the country has been made, and part of it has heed found to offer engineering difficulties of Inc than ordinary character. The liability of the shareholders will be limited to the amot. of their subscriptions, and, in the allotment of shares, a weft x ence will be given to landowners on the respective lines, and oth t parties locally interested. Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at 41. per cen'.. per annum on all calls, previous to the opening of the lines. The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the power mo ki tt g alterations in the line or branches, and of adopting t , atm ospheric principle, it advisable. They are also determin on giving strict attention to economy in the exnenditure of I' capital, and will thereby be enabbd to guarantee low charges the conveyance of passengers and goods, and there cats be , • reasonable doubt, that when the traffic is fairly developed, the n rate of IN. per cent. will be paid, and a surplus left for bran, lines, or a reduction of tolls. The strong feelings in favour of a direct line, evinced on t: part of the public in Hastings and surrounding neighbourhoo the support of the landowners and agriculturists, with the num, ous and strong assurances received in favour of au independ, Company, leave no doubt of the successful issue of an appllcatl to Parliament for an Act next Session. In order that every attention may be secured to local interst arrangements are note being made to add the names of gentlen • • of influence and property in the counties of Kent and Sussex the Provisional Committee. Application for shares, with a reference, may be made, in t form annexed, to the Solicitor, or to the Secretary, pro tern, at I temporary Offices of the Company, No. ;ti, Itasinghali-strt London ; and to the following Sharehrokers :—ln London, Me,• J. and T.
