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 promised Southampton Manchester and Oxford Junction. Au 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 Munger ford to Swindon. From Petersileld 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 Swindon it is proposed to proceed by the Manchester and Southampton Railway to Chelt nham. and the North of England by the Derbyshire, Worcestershire and Staffordshire Junction, or other existing and contemplated linca. On reference to the map, it will be seen 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, and Dover. It is unnecessary to observe on the daily increasing traffic between Brighton and Dieppe, which the railroad from the latter place to Rouen, and thence to Paris, must greatly augment; thus, by means of the projected line, a direct communication with France, either from Brighton or Dover, will be opened with the northern counties of England. It is obvious that with these advantages the traffic must neces sarily 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 be applied for in the Act to Increase the capitala necessary, to alter the line, or to make such deviations or branches therefrom as may be deemed necessary ; also for 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 gauge, or the principle of atmospheric traction, if preferable. No further call beyond the deposit will be made until the Act shall be obtained. REMINGTON'S LI/11 THE LONDON AND RI ANCHESTER DIRECT INDEPENDENT RAILWAY. r rEIE OXFORD AND SALISBURY Dth .

The title of this line sufficiently and correctly explains the ohlect of the undertaking. The Birmingham terminus will be placed in Communication with all the other railways having a elation in that town, and will be brought as near ae practicable to its centre. Proceeding thence in a northerly direction, And on the west side of the Lichfield road, it will pass within a !Short distance of Sutton Coldfield, and to Lichfield, at the latter of which places there will be a station In commtlnleatiOn with the projected Walsall lines. Thence crossing the Trent Valley, near King's Bromley, it will pursue the course of the Blythe Valley, or by or near to Abbots Bromley to Leigh, where it will leave the Blythe Valley, and by a short cutting reach the Tean station on Remington's London and Manchester line at the junction of the Crewe branch, or by a junc tion with whichever of the projected lines to Manchester may be adopted by Parliament. The length of the main line, from the point of junotien at Totten ham to the London awl Birmingham Railway, will be I l miles ; and the length of the branch line to Barnet, will be 414 miles. From the junction with the Birmingham Railway to Chipping Barnet, 914 miles ; front the Decoy (near Brent -street, Hendon), on the proposed Barnet and North Metropolitan Junction Railway, to the Nortaern and Eastern Counties Railway, by Stainford•hill, 61( ml'ett There are no engineering dillieultles tit - ollghout the entire distance. The line will proceed beyond the range of the Highgate and Hemp stead 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 ar.d 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 oinnlbases, will be largely benefited, and land and agricultural produce, hitherto affording an inadequate return to their cultivators, will be quad rupled in value. ppopulous, communicationan d uncertain o n ce-flourishing n w u h np e o:n ancient, thha evecaa mgontiunraoistfuhiri e n t sgort own, o a w n w i thouto y c f o a r , uy wto depend ingtoe, o may held alit a prospect of a branch, in future times, from some of the trunk lines now contemplated.

The ta s k o f deciding upon claims of ex traordinary extent and respectability has been arduous and painful ; but the Committee have felt it to be their duty to give precedence in the allotment to applicants locally interested, and to such Parties as, from their position in the railway community, can render bene ficial aid and co-operation to the undertaking, to the inevitable ex elusion of vast uninbers of applicants to whose claims, tinder other i circumstances, they would matt willingly have attended. The Committee have the pleasurable (tity of recording the fact, that by every town on the lino between Cheltenham and South ampton, including both those places, and Marlborough, Cirencester. Stockbridge. Romsey, Andover, as well as the town of Poole, a most favourable expression of opinion has been spontaneously offered, and active assistance tendered ; and that from the town of Manchester a Wetly influential petition of nit rchants and traders will convey to Parliament a strong expression of interest in the proposi.d railway. It Is, at the SUMO time, satisfactory to the Committee to add, that in the midst of these active demonstrations In favour of the under taking, the eagineering preparaVons, relating as well to the line from Cheltenham to Southampton, as to the line by Ludgershall to Salisbury and Poole, have been vigorously prosecuted, and that the surveys are in such a state of forwardness as justisea the announce ment that the project will be brought before Parliament In a way sa tisfactory to the subscribers. As regards the additional capital required for the extension line to Poole, the Committee will be prepared to announce the mode in which it w ill be raised so soon as importantnegotlations, now on foot, shall be concluded. - (Re gistered Provisionally.)

This Railway is projected for the purpose of nutting the Rhondda and Ely Vailles, with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles dis tance from the Port of Cardiff; and to open a new mineral distriet, one of the richest and most important In South Wales, which Is at present without the means of transit for its Immense and valuable products. It will pass through the central portion of the great coal-field of Glamorganshire, where iron-stone also abounds wills the coal in im mense quantities, and laying, geologically speaking, nearly fiat, and, obtainable, for the most part, by proper levels. The coal in addition to its being of excellent quality for tram making, as is proved at Mer thyr and Aberdeen, is Also, like that of those districts, of the very best deserlpthm for steam purposes, being nearly smokeless, although Inflammable, indeed so pre-eminently is the superiority of title de scription of coal eetablislied for steam purposes over my other, that the demand for it far exceeds the supply, and promises, accerd- Ing to the opinion of the most eminent marine engineers, to super sede all others fir purposes of steam navigation. This source trails alone will afford a handsome return for the capital invested, AS has been demonstrated in every instance where even tram-roads or canals have been constructed to open the mineral resources of other less premising vailics in Wales than the Rhondda, which is cele brated for the abundance, quality, and thcility of ebtealnoblntgainitaeciprbo fl y uctions. An Inexhaustible supply of limestone (so necessary for th e manu facture of iron and for agricultural purposes) may h means of this Railway, much nearer and cheaper than by any ether Una. _ _ This line will afford to the increasing population of the rich vales of Ely and Rhondda a much desired communication with the great market town and port of Cardiff, front whence, at present, they may be said to be almost excluded. It is intended that the line shall commence at Mien Rhondda, the h te e t a w d e o e f n t t h h e e ß h l i t l o l n s dadtarTfrwall,ely'A,mawnds, a di e ta ed ne d e o o w r n eig to ht a mi n ic\ a q t , u w ra h l ere ' pa7 : proceed will enter the Ely Valley and proceed down (a further distance of six miles) to Lanelay-bridge, near Lantrissent, and there join the South Wales Railway, thus opening a communication ander the most advantageous circumstances as to distance, with all the ports in the Bristol channel. A preliminary survey has already been made by competent par ties, and it is found that the country admits of highly faroural.le gradients, so much so that it is confidently anticipated that the works will be exoented very consitterably ander the advertised ea- pltal. i t ; n a t r u e favourableproprietorst w o i t l h l t b s . t f i o n u el n e d r t 1 1 1 i t n i T e , and T P r o v isional Committee. h t e h lr n cl iv o in w e n i e r o s f alongrn a,many h i e n I f ; No Subscriber will be answerable beyond the amonnt of his de posit until the Act Is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription.
