It is proposed by this Company to establish a direct line of commu nication between Birmingham, Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hull, at the smallest outlay 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 he completed by throwing out new lines, where requisite. C omm encing 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 he made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Castle Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid land Counties Railway 'I he communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will be carried forward as far as Gainsborough, 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 Gainsborough 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, Birmingham to Gainsborough, and from Birmingham to II1111; and by meaoa 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 he enlisted in favour of the lice. 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 lime required for the completion of this great national undertaking will be materially shortened. Independently of the advantages to be derived by a direct eamtriu • nication 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 be 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 German States., and the North of Europe ; and from the conveyance of merchandise, 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 of flair per cent. from the time of payment upon each call until the opening. of the line. No applications will he attended to without a reference to a member of tbe Committee, a banker, or the solicitors to this Company. The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must lie executed when the hankers' 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 Solicit°. s, and of the following Stock and Sharcbrckers, viz.:—Messrs. Wells.

London and Birmingham, and the lines of railway proposed to con verge at that town from Cheltenham, and the west from Worcester and from Yi'artvick, the line 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 Louden and Manchester pro pose to pass. It will then proceed, also, in a direct course to the market towns of Uppingham, Oakham, and Grantham, to Lincoln. The - country lying between the towns of Northampton and Gran tham is wholly vithout existing or even proposed railway accommo dation, not only to the south, but ilso to the north. At Lincoln the line will fork, and proceed on the one hand in a northerly direction to the Ow - Irish:no' port of Galesborough, and on the other by a north-eastern course to the market town of Market Raiarn, on the rising port of Great Grimsby. By an Litton with the Sheffield and Great Grimsby Junction Rail way at Market Raisen, a d rect and uninterrupted chain of commu nication will be established between all the above-mentioned districts and the town and port of hull. • 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 addit'on, it will secure the important and increasing local traffic between that town and Market Raisen and Lincoln. From Gainsberough, the termini of several ralways from the north and north-west, this line will carry the traffic to Lincoln, its county town. The traffic from Hull to the mein - Tells, and also to the west, will enter upon this line at Market Raisen, and . proceed thereon to Lincoln. From Lincoln the whole of the traffic passing to the west and the intermediate towns must pass over this line. In tha event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not obtaining the'r Bill, then the traffic from Lincoln 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 cnti:c district between Grantham and Kettering, a distance of more than forty miles, and including the market Wens of Oakham and L'ppingham, is without railway or water-carriage accommoda tion, and the whole of its traffic therefore will travel over this line or railway, which will be in the direct course not only to the west but also to London. At Ketteing 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 country is free from engineering d'fficulties, with one or two exceptions only, and those are more than counterbalanced by the very favourable gradients of by far the greaten portion of the fine ; 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.

The immediate connexion between Yarmouth and' orwich, and all cannot be less than sixty miles, thereby intermediate towns and cities, districts of Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Nottingham, and Lan cashire, will be highly beneficial. i b t y l i t t h The line will commence at Lincoln, at thejunetkin of the projected ra lway from Lynn Regis to Lincoln, and proceed from thence across the country through East Retford to feiheflield, and there join the Sheffield and Manchester Railway. . Should the projected line from Macclesfield to Sheffield be carried into effect, it W.ll then add another important commercial town to those a lready ad verted to, and increase the traffic to a vast extent. A reference to the map will readily show the great import ance and utility of such a line. A more than usual revenue may be calculated I.loon in the goods traffic from those great emporiums of commerce above alluded to, without taking into consideration the immense 1 - ..ssen .er traffic which must necessarily arise upon so important a line of rail way. Every regard will be paid to l ocal 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 inte n d ed line of the advantages which must ac crue from it.

OFFICES—No. 70, King W.l':am-street, 51ansion-house, London The object of the promoi, ts of this Company is to form a direct line of railway, from Bristol aid Bath to Dover; and thus, in effect, unite, connect, or reciprocate with, all the existing and projected lines of railway in the south and south-west and west of England, 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 passengers 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 considerably less than 100 miles, throughout which the strongest encouragemert and support have been manifested towards this railway by the landed proprietors, many of whom have determined to invest capital in the undertaking ; and the engineer's report precludes any apprelien. 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 ohjects 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 be obtained to Devises, All Cannings, Pewsey, Burbage, Shaltorne, West Woodhay, High Clere, and Overton, on to Basin g stoke, ere it will unite with the South Western Railway, and thus from the western counties the distance will be several miles shorter to the metropolis than by any other existing line. It will near Farnborough by means of the South Western Railwa y , proceed on to e Farnborough (a distance of f ourteen miles) whence,l eav in g Farnham to the south, it w ill p ass onward to Ache, G uildfo r d, Gornshall, and Dorking to Riegate, where it will unite with the South Eastern and Dover Railway—(the latter, eighteen miles from Guildford to Reigate will in all probability be constructed by another Company.) In i:s course it will thread its way through the lines of Many of the railways already constructed or projected—the junction of which will not only be estimated as a great public convenience, but prove highly advantageous to the several Companies interested,pro ducing an immense traffic, that must stream from Ireland—fron our great manufacturing districts in the north—the cloth and corn markets of the west of England—the mineral and coal fields of I 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 form a direct communication with France, Belgium, and the CGII - generally. The distance to be saved by this railway will exceed thirty miles from Bath (and all the towns north-west) to I Dover ; while to many of the towns south west of Bristol sixty miles or more will be saved by this railway in union with some of the other lines ; and the often disagreeable and costly necessity (at present existing) of passing through London, to or from Dover, will be entirely obviated, and manufacturers and merchantaln met parts of the country, west and north, or sauth, will be thus en abled to forward and receivegoods direct fruit and to Dover and Folkstona, avo;ding the preset:t inconvenient mode and expense of transtlrence from ralway to railway across London. Ar:y 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 traTc ex. coeds 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 Folkemtone, throughout the whole of the year. Yielding to the metropolis one-half of the number as a large proportion, :he 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 fir 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 other towns, after they arc once placid in railway carriage's, must be greatly z.•ppreciated ; and whirs it i 3 expedient that Expedition and secrecy should he observed in the removal of troops, the means offered by this Company will great!, assist the authorities in facilitating their objects. The railways already constructed or projected with which this hoe cf railway will effect a union or communication, and recip,o 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 Wales by Cheltenham or Oxforsl and 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 pa , tof 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 con bidcred. With these 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 alread' given in this brief exposition, and the great objects intended to be compassed by this Company.
