The wonder would be that the proposed line had not been esta blish .d long before, were it not for one very obvious aid very poten tial reason to which it is owing that this rich district has hitherto been suffered to remain destitute of railway accommodation. The district has been up to this time deprived of the benefits of railway means of transit because it was one of the richest farms of the Birmingham Canal Company ; and it is to overcome the depressing Influence of such a destitution that the present plan has been pro jected. inte intended line will not interfere with any existing line of railway,, but it will materially extend the usefulness of the several lines about to be connected with Dudley, and in particular that gre it miaing district truna line, the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver 14.Inpton Railway, as also the Shrewsbury and South Staffordshire janction ; besides, it will afford to the populous districts around Dudley and Birmingham the direct benefits of 'fair and liberal corn petition in passenger conveyance and in the transit of their industrial products to their principal market. . The number of omnibuses, coaches, and swift canal packet-boats- - . continually travelling.betweeir the termini, - afford • the strongest as snrance of the prospect of a large passenger traffic : while the bulky nature and vast extent of the mining and .minufacturing produce of this well-known district equally vouch Inc that in • goods ; and the whole leaves no doubt but that the financial returns of such an un dertaking must yield an ample remuneration for the capital ex pended. In an engineering point of view, it has been ascertained, by careful slirveys, that the line is highly favourable, and presents not the slightest difficulty;-so fhat altogether there is probably no line of rail Way now before the public so much entitled in every way to the favourable consideration of the parties locally interested, or of capitalists in general. The former have already evinced the warmest interest in the proposed line ; and indeed it is manly owing to Urgent local suggestions that the projected railway has been under taken. No further call (beyond the deposit) will be made until the Act shall be obtained ; and power will be applied for in such Act to allow interest at four per cent. per annum on the deposits and calls frcm the date - of each payment until the opening of the line.

This line will pass in a direct course from Tunbridge, ♦ia Paddock Wood (thus connecting itself with Maidstone) through the parishes of Brenchley, llorsinonden, Goudhurst, Cranbrook, Benenden, llawkhurst, Sandhurst, Rolvenden, Newenden, Northiam, Peas match, Beckley, Iden, and Hayden, to the town and harbour of Rye, and it will embrace a lar: e extent of adjacent country, at pre sent unprovided with, and much requiring, the admitted advantages of railway transit. . . The length of the line will he about 23 miles—a great portion of it will pass through a level country, and the remaining part is free front any material engineering difficulty, or works likely to require any serious outlay, and it is not expected to be necessary to interfere with any residences cr ornamental property. The saving of distance to Rye, and all the other places embraced by this line,will be considerable. The capital required is estimated not to exceed 500,0001. During the last session of Parliament apOication was made for a similar line, partially embracing the same country, when it was shown in detail by evidence produced before the Committee, that the contemplated traffic, atter dericting 4W. per cent. for working ex pcaises, would leave a large per centago upon the invested capital. That line was rejected on the ground that the best direction had not been selected, but with an intimation that the port of Rye was en titled to a direct railway communication with the interior of the ceentry, in the best direction towards London. The present scheme has teen based upon this intimation, taking advantage of the merits and defects which appeared upon that investigation, and as it em braces a more populous and productive country, and passes in a more direct line to London, and will have the benefit of better access to other and more numerous lines, the sources of traffic are consider ably increased, and there is every reason to believe, from what passed during the last session, that the present plait will be favourably enter tained by the Legislature; The chief object is to open the port of Rye to the full benefit of a railway communication, through a populous and productive district, in the direction of London, to the best point at which it can avail itself of the existing and contemplated lines. The imports of Rye, particularly coals, with lime and. other ma nures, are of great importance to the country through which this I:ne will pass, and a cheaper and better mode of transit will much Increase the demand for them, and give the opportunity of great improvement in the cultivation of the adjacent country. A railway through the heart of the chief hop district of the king dom, also producing corn, timber, and hop poke, and communicating at its terminus with a great part of the important cattle district of Romney Marsh, must be a public advantage. The port of Rye is admitted to be the best outlet and quickest route to Paris and to other parts of the Continent, and there can be no doubt if a direct railway should be made to Rye, with a moderate improve ment in the harbour, that it would be much adopted, particularly as a national and commercial communication with France, and by per sons travelling on business.

The object of this undertaking is to form a direct communication between the important town of Carmarthen and the rich mineral dis tricts in the south and east of the county, and to improve the nariga gation of the river Towy by erecting a dock or shipping-place at or near Carmarthen. The projected line will join the South Wales, Welsh Midland, and Great North and South Wales Railways at Carmarthen, and will be connected with the branch of the Llanelly Railway already con structed to the Cross Hands on the Great Mountain. It will thus unite several important railways, and afford ready means of supply ing coal and lime to very extensive districts, the costs of conveying which will he less than the toll payable on the present roads. The southern terminus of the Great North and South Wales Rail way is'at Carmarthen. and no provision is made by the promoters for any communication by it with the coal and lime fields. These pro ducts, before they are conveyed from Carmarthen, must first be brought to that town. The South Wales and W-lsh Midland Railways describe a consider able circuit in communicating with the heart of the mineral dlstrkts. The distance from Carmarthen by each of these lines to the Great Mountain will be about twenty-five miles ; the distance by the line now proposed will not exceed twelve. It is therefore evident that the immense traffic in coal and lime between Carmarthen and the mineral districts must be carried on by the intended railway. A branch from Carmarthen to the Towy at Blackpool will be about two miles long, and another branch in the Gwendraeth Vale will be the same length ; thus making the whole length of the proposed rail way sixteen miles. The line will follow the Vale of Towy as far as Cappeldewy, and then diverge, by way of Porthyrhyd and the Man sell's Arms, to the coal districts. In consequence of the peculiar features of the country, the pro posed line can meet with opposition from no other scheme, as the bold chain of hills running from east to west to the south of the Towy are quite impraCticable at all other points between Llandilo and the sea, a distance of twenty-five miles. This line will follow the only valley intersecting the hills, which presents the most striking facilities for constructing a railway a'ong it, as none of the gradients will exceed 1 in 100, and there will he no occasion for any tunnelling. The cppital required to construct a railway and to effect the im provement of the river will be 140,0001. Calculations have been made of the tonnage carried along the pre sent roasts, and an ample remuneration for the capital invested would be secured even without increased trams. The South Wales, Welsh Midland, and Great North and South Wales Railways radiate from Carmarthen to the west, north, and east of the county ; and the latter line will open communication with the whole of Cardiganshire. All these extensive districts are now mainly supplied with coal and lime from the vicinity of Carmarthen. The traffic in these staple commodities is at present very consider able: as many as 1,000 tons of lime have passed in one day through a single gate on one of the great thoroughfares into Carmarthen. With the facility of conveyance afforded by railways, added to the large extent of country which will be opened by means of the lines alluded to, this traffic will be immensely increased. The project was first mooted about ten years ago. A meeting was held at Carmarthen, attended by a large and influential body of gentry, landowners, and merchants. Resolutions were then unani mously adopted anproving of the scheme, pointing out its advantage to the country and its value as a safe investment. Surveys of the line were afterwards made, which proved that the gradients were easy, and that the country was free from engineering difficulties. Some objections, however, arose, which led to the temporary aban donment of the undertaking ; these difficulties cainot again occur. A large body of influential persons have already signified their appro. bation of the scheme. It will meet with the strenuous support of all the mineral interests in the localities referred to ; and the authori ties, merchants, and influential residents of Carmarthen, will afford every support to carry out an undertaking so beneficial to the inte rests of the town and neighbourhood. The Earl of Cawdor and the other principal landowners on the pro wed line have been consulted, and their consents and approbation have been obtained. The corporation of Carmarthen has just had a carettil survey of the river made, with a view of effecting the improvements in its na vigation now proposed ; and the engineer employed has prepared an able report and supplied an estimate of the expense. It appears suf ficiently evident that, with the outlay 'of a comparatively small sum of money, Carmarthen may be rendered a safe port, easily accessible to ships of very considerable tonnage, even at neap tides. The great depth of water in Black Pool at ebb tide (24 feet) sup plies all the requisites of a wet dock. A railway from the town to that place or a cut to avoid the intermediate shoals and sinuosities will remove all difficulty to the navigation of the river, and with either of these facilities a very large export trade will be insured in coal and other produce of the country. In effecting these improve ments due regard will in every instance be paid to the interests and wishes of the town. Should it be considered preferable to improve the course of the river, the necessity for constructing the branch railway to Black Pool will be obviated, and the consequent outlay saved. Extensive ironworks are now at work in the Gwendraeth Vale, and others on a large scale are about to be erected in the Vale of Ammon. The stores of coal and lime are inexhaustible : several important collieries have been lately owed, and are now ready to pour their teeming wealth into the market, but a want of commu nication with the distant districts of this and the adjoining counties prevents the proprietors reaping the fruit of their enterprise. The line now proposed, forming a junction at Carmarthen with the three great trunk lines, will afford the accommodation so much desired Preparations have been made so as to insure compliance with the standing orders in time to apply for an Act in the ensuing Session. The course to be adopted will depend upon the report of the Govern ment Commissioners. In order that every attention may be secured to local interests, arrangements are now being made to ndd the names of other gentle men of property in the *minty to the provisional committee.l The liability of the shareholders until the act is obtained will be limited to the amount of deposits, and after incorporation to the amount of their subscriptions. Power will be taken in the Bill to allow interest at 41. per cent. per annum on all Deposits and Calls front the time of payment until the opening, of the Enc. Prospectuses and Plans may be obtained from, and applications for Shares to be made to the Solicitors mut Secretary, and the follow ing Brokers, Messrs. Price and Brown, Change-alley, London.

The proposed railway is intended to commence on the Trent "alley Railway near Stafford, and proceeding thence in 'an easterly lirection, to pass through, or near to, Tixall, Haywood, Colwich, and Abbott's Bromley, to the rapidly-increasing town of Burton-upon- Trent, where It will run into the Birmingham and Derby Railway, forming the shortest and best practicable route from Stafford to Derby. Leaving the Birmingham and Derby Railway at Burton upon-Trent, it will proceed along the valley of the Trent by Repton, Swarkestone, and Shardlow, to the Midland Counties Railway at the point where that railway forms ajunction with the Derby and Not tingham Railway ; and thus, by means of these and other railways in progress, forma complete line of railway communication between the central towns of Stafford, Derby, Nottingham, Lincoln, Leices ter, Peterborough, and Boston, on the east, and Shrewsbury, Ches ter, and Holyhead, North Wales, and Ireland, on the west, This railway will, therefore, form the only connecting link re quired in the great chain of railway communication from east and west through the heart of the kingdom, uniting the shbrce of the German Ocean on the east With those of the Irish Sea on the west, and traversing in its course the rich agricultural districts of the eastern, midland, and western counties, and accommodating the important, and populous manufacturing towns of Stafford, Derby-, Nottingham, Lei cester, and Shrewsbury. But another most important advantage that will result from the formation of this line will consist in the fact of its affording, in connexion with the proposed South Union, or Manchester and Potteries Railway, by far the shortest and best route between Derby, Nottingham, Newark, Lincoln, Peterborough, Leicester, and Loughborough, and the extensive and populous dis tricts of the Staffordshire ' Potteries, Macclesfield, Stockport, and Manchester. By the proposed line the distance between Nottingham and Derby and Manchester will he at least from 15 to 20 miles les♦ than by the present circuitous route by Sheffield. The trafile"on this line must necessarily be equal, if not superlot, to that of any line in the district. The length of the line will be about 33 miles, through a country presenting no difficulties of more than an ordinary kind for its con struction. The capital proposed to be raised is 600,0001., in shares of 201. each, upon which a deposit of 21. 2s. per share must be paid upon the allotment. No call will be made until the Act is obtained, and no subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of his deposit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription; and the usual power will be taken to allow interest at four per cent. from the time of payment upon each call until the opening of the line. The Subscribers' Agreement and the Parliamentary Contract must be executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip cer tificates, of which 14 (lays' notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by any party making default in the execution of those deeds will be forfeited.

Commencing at Cambridge, which has now become the traTic centre of the Eastern Counties, by the line of railway intended to be fanned by that Company, this line will proceed to Bedford, there passing near Olney it will cross at or rear the Blisworth Station 01 the London and Birmingham Railway, where it will communicate with the Northampton and Pete; borough line; it will then pro..eed west ward. crossing the Oxford and Rugby line at or near Fenby-Compton to Stratford-on-Aron, there joining the proposed line from Warwick and Leamington to Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the West of England ; continuing its course through Alcester, the Rile will go di rect to Worcester, and thus terminate at the great centre of traffic for the mineral and manufactaring districts of South Staffordshire, stiropshire, and North and South Wales. This proposed lino tiara not interfere with any existing railways, and presenting, as it does, an unbroken line between two great centres of traffic, the importance of the undertaking needs no further comment. Negotiations have been entered into with the Eastern Coun ties Railway Company, by which their support and co-operation will bt ensured for obtaining the line now proposed. An arrangement has also been made with the proposed Rugby, Warwick, and Worcester Company, which this line will join at Al cester, and by means of which the Eastern Counties' traffic will pro ceed to Worcester. Power will be reserved to the Directors to amalgamate with any other existing or projecting Companies, or to vary the line.

This Company has been formed for the purpose of constructing a line in. continuation of the South-Eastern Railway at Reigate, whereby a direct junction will be effected between the whole of the south-eastern coast, including the port and harbour of Dover and the several port, and towns of Southampton, Gosport, Portsmouth, and Bristol ; and, bj means of the Bristol and Birmingham Rail wa y, with Gloucester, Worcester, Birmingham, Manchest er , Li verpool, and the north of England. .. ..._ From its proximity to the Continent, the port of Dover will always is be the most accessible point of the English coast; an expeditiot communication therefore between that and the other ports, harbours, and inland towns of the United Kingdom, mast necessarily 1, s 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 vast 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 Diver as a Harbour of Refuge, and recommended the outlay there of 1,500,0001., it cannot fail of becoming a place of the greatest resort for the shipping and commercial interests of the coun try, and perhaps the most important 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 be sufficiently obvious. This the pro moters fully anticipate will be attained by the proposed railway, which wilyorm a portion of a grand trunk line, completing Ole chain of railway communication , Pon the narrow gauge between the South-eastern coast, and Bristol and the western, northern, and mid land counties. The use will commence at the terminus of the South-Eastern Rail way at Reigate, proceed thence by Dorking, Godalming, 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 it branch to Bath, and pursuing its course through the Somersetshire coal-field, throwing off a branch towards liadstock into the heart of the collieries, terminate in ajunction with the Bristol and Birmingham Railway at Bristol. „ . By its course through Dorking, Godalming, Farnham, and Odi 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 Hants, and afford the means of conveyance of their produce to the great Hop-fair at Weyhill. By its, unction with the contemplated " Reading, Guildford, and Iteizate Railway," it will afford to the inhabitants of Reading, Oxford, and to the midland counties generally, the best and shortest route to the Continent, as well as to Worthing, Hastings, Brighton, and the other watering-places in Sus Sex and Kent ; and a vast increase of v!sitors will undoubtedly be attracted to those places from the Interior of England by the accommodation and facilities for travelling which will he 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 wso r thc present line will connect Dover towards the south, with Southampton (the packet station for the East and West Indies, &c.), Gosport, and.l ortsmouth, and towards the north, with Cheltenham, Gloucester, - Worcester. Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool, also with Shrewsbury, Chester, and tielyhead, and In fact with the whole of North and South Wales. At Basingstoke, also, this lino will join the pro', - ;ose.d London, Salis bury, and Ycoyil Railway, and throw open to Dover awl the south eastern counties the populous to d wealthy cities of Salisbury and Exeter, the rich agricultural coduties of Wilts, Dorset, Somerset, and Devon, the p. its 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 wEI confer cioriot lie 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 tha 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 deserving of their cordial support. In the memorable Parliamentary contest last session between two great rival companies, the Legislature for the first time admitted that principle of competition with existing interests which was claimed by the Oxford, Worcester, and ‘Volverhampton Company for the protection and benefit of the public ; and it is wills no fear of the resu't that the promoters of the present underta kin g invite attention to one distinguishing feature it contains, v iz., that by the construction of the line from Bristol t s 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 centr zl station at Hungerford-bridge, and the con ven i ent access to the Thames both there and at Nine Elms, over the distant and inconvenient station of the 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 p asses does not present any engineering difficulties of moment, nor w ill an y resi dential or ornamental property be Interfered with exce p t under 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 adv anta g eous to the shareholders. The capital proposed to be raised is 1,500,00/., in 75,000 shares of 20/ each, with a deposit of 2/. 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 no subscriber shall be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act has beets obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. The Subscribers' agreement and the Parliamentary Contract will be ready for execution, and the scrip issued Immediately upon pay ment of the deposits. Applications for shares must he addressed to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, No. 12, Gray's Inn- place, only ; but no appli cation will be attended to unless accompanied by a reference to a member of the Provisional Committee, one of the solicitors to the Company, or a banker.
