This company is formed for the purpose of establishing direct railway communication between the important ports of Hull, Great Grimsby, and Southampton. It is intended to effect this desirable object by the construction of a line of railway, commencing at Lincoln, passing Grantham, Oakham, Uppingham, near to Rockingham and Rothwell, and joining the South Midland Railway between Market Harborough and Northampton ; thus forming, in connexion with projected lines of railway from Hull and Grimsby to Lincoln, and from Northampton to Southampton the connecting link in one unifier. rupted chain of railway communication from Hull and Grimsby to Southampton, Gosport, and Poole, and the whole of the south western coast of England. It will also form the most direct route from hull, Great Grimsby, and the whole of Lincolnshire, Rutlandshire, Northam', tonshire, and pa!t of Leicestershire, to Oxford, Banbury, Chel tenham, Gloucester, Bristol, Exeter, and the South and West of England. An inspection of the map will at once show the importance of this undertaking, whether considered in a local or national point of view, forming as it will an intimate connexion between London and the South generally, with the fertile districts of Lincolnshire and the adjacent counties, at present without railway accommo. dation; while its •alue to the South Midland, the Northampton, Banbury, and Cheltenham, the London and Birmingham Railway Companies, and the projected lines south of Northampton (to which it will form a most profitable adjunct) must be obvious. This line will also form junctions at Lincoln with the projected line from London to York, also with the Leicester, Louth, and Grimsby, the Nottingham and Lincoln, and the other proposed lines running to Lincoln; at Grantham with the Nottingham, Vale of Belvoir and Grantham, and the Grand Union; at Oakham with the Syston and Peterborough ; also with the Boston, Stamford, and Birmingham and London, and Manchester Direct. One great and important feature in this railway is, that it does not run parallel with, or in opposition to, any existing line of railway. _ _ The ground has been surveyed, and found to be practicable, pre senting for the most port no engineering difficulties. Satisfactory communications for mutual co.operation have been opened with the several companies, whose interests will be affected by the proposed line. In the meantime the Committee of Manage ment reserve power to amalgamate with any other company, or deviate from the proposed line, or make such extensions and branches as they may hereafter deem advisable. The Subscribers will be held liable only to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum on all calls from the passing of the Act. In consequence of a great portion of the Shares having been already applied for, the period for application must necessarily be very limited. Applications for Shares may be made in the annexed form to the following Sharebrokers -- • London Mr. W.

The objrct of this Company is to establish a direct line of rail way for passengers, goods, and commercial, mining, and agricul. tural produce between the harbour of Watchet on the Bristol Channel, and the harbour of Bridport on the English Channel, and provide means of inland transit for a large proportion of the pro duce at present necessarily sent by the dangerous and uncertain passage round the Land's End, and at the same time afford to the intermediate rich and populous districts ready and convenient rail way communication. The direct line will be 48 miles in length, and will proceed from Watchet tr. Taunton, and thence by Hatch Beauchamp, and by Ilminster to Chard, and by Creukcr••e and Beaminster to Bridport harbour. A branch will proceed out of the line, about mid-way between Watchet and Taunton, directly to Wiveliscombe. All these towns and their neighbourhoods are populous and opulent, and many of them very much so, and the localities are remarkable for their richness, fertility, beauty, and numerous resident gentry. At Wiveli.scranbe this line will avail itself of the North Devon Railway to Taunton, and also westwaa; at Taunton It will enter the station of the Bristol and Exeter Railway, and thence proceed to Mangerton, four miles short of Bridport, where it will unite with the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, one of the Great Western lines of Railway, and thence proceed on that line to Bridport Harbour. It will also cross the proposed line from Yeovil to Exeter about two miles west of Crewkerne. The junction of the two Channels was long since deemed an im portant object. To effect it, surveys were successively made for e ship canal by the late Mr. Bennie, Mr. Telford, and other scientific men, v, ho concurred in the importance of such a work in a na. Bona! point of view ; the design was matured, and in 1824 art Act of Parliament was passed; and it stands recorded as the opinions of Mr. Telford and Captain Nichols, that the canal would afibrd a remuneration to the subscribers of 16 3i per cent, on a capital of 1,712,844/.

The intended line from Minchead to Bridgewater, will meet Staffordshire Potteries Railway-office, 1, Hope-street, Piccadilly, Diancheiter, Oct. 18, 1845, and am this line near Watchet. _ No railway, either made, or being made, or projected, will serve the purposes which this important and favoured line will serve. The country it will pass through possesses a population exceed ing 150,000. It leads to marine watering places of much resort— Weymouth, Lyme, and Seaton on the English Channel shore, and Linton, Mir:Owed, and Blue Anchor on the shore of the Bristol Channel. Taunton, which may now be considered the county town of Soinersetshire, has always been the market and trading town of the country north.west of it, including Watchet and its surrounding district ; the route to which, from London and the north, Is through Taunton. A well remunerating passenger traffic may hence be expected. The country also contains between 80 and 100 mills and fac tories, many of which are worked by steam in aid of water-power, and many more of the proprietors will avail themselves of steam power when coals shall be procurable at a reduced rate by this railway. The millers are most desirous of having the markets of South Wales opened to them. Several influential coal proprietors of South Wales are members of the Provisional Committee. ELY and BURY ST. EDIMUNDS RAILWAY. In consequence of the great number of applications for kharos in this Company which are daily received from all parts cf the country, the Provisional Directors feel it necessary to call the atten tion of the Public to the following Clause in the Prospectus, to the tenns of which they will, in allotting the shares, be compelled most strictly to adhere : " 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 eon be attended to, except from parties locally in terested and of the highest respectability.

Lord George Lennox The country also possesses several extensive lime quarries, for manure; the lime is burnt with culm brought from Wales ; the conveyance both of the culm and lime is at present attended with much expense to the agriculturist. The line will also be of high importance to this agricultural district by opening to it the markets of Taunton, Tiverton, South Alolton, Barnstaple, in the north of Devon, Exeter, and London. The towns of Taunton, ihninster, Chard, Crewkerne, Beaminster, Broadwindsor, Brid port, Axminster, Charmouth, and Lyme Regis, will be connected by the line, and derive from it supplies of coals, culm, timber, dry goods, and other articles of import. The line will afford to those towns and their populous neighbourhoods, increased facilities of communication with other lines of railroad. The usual prevalence of westerly winds during the winter months is so great as to render the passage round the Land's-end very un certain. The facilities offered by the proposed railway will obviate such uncertainty, save many hundred miles of dangerous sea pas sage, and more than compensate for the charges attending reship ment at Bridport from Watchet, particularly in the article .of Welsh coals, new in great demand in and about London for steam. engines, steam-boats, and other purposes. The harbour of Bridport admits vessels at spring.tides of 350 tons burthen; it receives large supplies of coals, culm, flax, hemp, Baltic and American timber, iron, slate, tallow, staves, and nu. merous other articles ; which, in the aggregate, last year, amounted to nearly 40,000 tons, a large portion of which consisted of flax and hemp, for the numerous manufactories of yarns, sailcloth, sacks, nets, lines, twines, and linen goods, which when wrought would pass along the line to the two ports, for shipment, or to other railways. The harbour of Watchet, at spring -tides, admits vessels of 200 tons burthen, and carries on an extensive and important daily trade with the ports of Tenby, Llanally, Swansea, Neath, Cardiff, New port, and Merthyr Tydvil, in coals, culm, corn, flour, and other provisions, cattle, sheep, salt, timber, slates, iron, and other articles of merchandise ; employing twelve vessels belonging to the harbour regularly and exclusively; one trading with Liverpool. It has also a considerable corn, malt, flour, and goods trade with Bristol, and employs therein several vessels regularly Count Bathyany The Hon. F. H. F. Berkeley, M. h. The Hon. A. F.

The port of Watchet, as it is, has the largest and most important trade on the English side of the Bristol Channel. This Railway will increase that trade fourfold, and therewith its own prosperity. The shore contiguous to Watchet exclusively abounds with lime of the most celebrated description, both for water-works and ex terior building, being the same as the universally known and cele brated Aberthaw lime, which also is on the directly opposite coast; and at and around Watchct are extensive corn and flour mills, paper mills, and clothing mills. The foregoing facts show that the line must have a very exten sive goods traffic. It is not intended to put forward Watchet as a packet station either for Ireland or South Wales; nor does this measure require such aid. No portion of the coast of the Bristol Channel, east of Ilfracombe, can have the slightest pretension to be, or be made, a packet station. In the first place, it is obvious that the railway in actual progress from the Government Dock.yard at Pembroke (or llobbe's Point, 100 miles further down the Eris. tol Channel) will take all the packet trade from the south of Ireland : Liverpool takes Dublin;whilst Ilfracombe (50miles west of Watchet), and Swansea (directly opposite to Ilfracombe), maintain a regular steam-packet passenger end goods traffic; and in the second place, all the harbours on the English side east of Ilfracombe are dry, and for a great length, at low water, the shores being very flat, and to construct a harbour on them, to admit large class steamers and to land passengers at all times of the tide, would, if not impracticable, cost an enormous sum. To hold out expectations that either of them might be such packet station, would for the above reasons be delusive. The extended North Devon line of railways will serve the port of Ilfracombe and its packets. A survey has been made by the engineers, who have reported that the line is easy of construction, and will not interfere with any park.

The neighbouring landowners and gentry are favourahle to the measure, and all the merchants and traders both at Watchet and Bridport, as well as the principal coal proprietors in South Wales, and all persons throughout the line, entertain a high opinion of its merits, and earnestly desire it.

Spring-gardens The attention of the public and of the civic autkoriCes of this great metropolis, through the powerful medium of the public press, has upon several occasions been excited by the detail of numerous and almost daily occurring accidents on the river Thames. With a view to abate, if not altogether remove an evil of enormously grow ing magnitude, the dangerous navigation of the river, the present project is put before the public. Although the chief cause of this danger is acknowledged to be the blocking up the navigation, by the numberless tiers of colliers and their attendant barges, and their ingress and egress to and from their station, still no efficient remedy has been hitherto proposed. ' It is admitted by all that the only mode by which this great and dangerous nuisance can be removed is by a dock, at a considerable distance from the Pool, and a suitable and most convenient site has beon selected, in every way adapted for the object contemplated ; and which not only combines facilities, in no ordinary degree, for coal and coasting vessels to enter at all times of the tide, at a dis tance far removed from the Pool (about three miles below NVoolwiclo, but also at a locality, by the aid of a railway, fromwhich the various produce may be transmitted within half an hour into the very heart of the City. It is proposed to construct a dock at a point in that part of the river, four and half miles below Blackwall, called Gallion's Reach, and thencs to carry a railway four miles long, through East Ham, Plaistow, and West Ham, to the Eastern Counties Railway at Strat ford, where it will join the Northern and Eastern Railway, and form a central point from which goods may be transmitted to the various parts of the countt y which those railways traverse, and to London. The spot at which the dock and works will be constructed has been selected as being a part of the river where at the lowest state of the tide there will always be a sufficiency of water to permit the ingress and egress of vessels, as a reference to the Admiralty charts will de monstrate ; by this arrangement they will be enabled to discharge their cargoes, leave dock, and take in ballast (which is in the imme diate vicinity where the Trinity House dredge is generally working), almost before they conld have even reached their ordinary station in the Pool, as at present. The great saving in time thus effected, it is manifest, will be of the utmost consequence and advantage to the owners of these vessels ; and by materially decreasing the cost, would enable them to supply the consumer at a much less rate than at present. It is intended also to erect a sea-wall and wharf, 1,500 feet long, for the accommodation of passengers by steam-packets and other vessels passing to and fro. The economy of time thus effected will be very considerable ; for by the aid of this railway (bringing Shore ditch and the intended terminus at Finsbury within twenty minutes) nearly three-quarters of an hour ,will be saved over every other mode of conveyance. It is moreover to be remarked that from this spot Gravesend can be reached in forty minutes, consequently the time consumed, from Finsbury to Gravesend by this route, would be shout one hour. As the Eastern Counties Railway will be united to all the other great trunk lines, by means of the northern and southern connecting line just projected, it may be justly said, that the Steam-Packet Wharf, now proposed, will be the only metropolitan Continental ter minus. By the construction of this railway, with its very important ad junct, a coal and coasting dock, a most valuable addition will be made to the Eastern Counties revenue by calling into existence a traffic which, under any other circumstances, could not be created ; thereby developing to the proprietors of that extensive line, that its capabilities have hitherto lain dormant, and only required the neccs tary extension to the Thames with a dock to secure to it a national depot for produce for all parts of the globe to i.e diseeminated through the numerous and increasing extensions of the parent line. The carriar ' , of coal alone would add no insignificant sum to the hitherto declared dividends of the Eastern Counties, when it is con sidered that more than two and a half millions of tons are annually imported into the port of London, which amount would be greatly increased by means of the facility of railway transmission thus afforded. I request you will allot to me shares in this under taking, and I agree to take the same or such of them as may be allotted to me upon the terms stated in the prospectus, and to pay the deposit there , m, and sign the Parliamentary Contract and Subscribers' Agreement when required.

Congleton—John Wilson, Esq. Dzrby —Messrs. Dunnicliffe and Severne. This Company has teen formed for the purpose of constructing and maintaining a direct line of railway between the towns of Liverpool and Derby, by proceeding from an independent terminus at Liverpool, or on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, diverg ing in a direct course to Warrington, Knutsford, thence to Congle ton, Leek, Ashbourne, by Brailsford and Langley, to Derby, thus affording railway accommodation (the want of which has for some considerable time been most seriously felt) to four large interme diate manufacturing towns, and completing a direct communica tion to Ireland, Liverpool, and the north-west of England, from Nottingham, Grantham, and the Eastern ports of Boston, Lynn, and Yarmouth ; as also (in conjunction with the Midland Coun ties Railway) from Leicester, Melton Mowbray, Oakham, Stam. ford, Peterborough, Ely, and Cambridge; and forming, by the intended Churnet and Blythe Valley Railway, tho most direct line of communication between Liverpool and London. The importance of the different towns through which this rail way will pass, is sufficient to oonvince all parties that on public grounds alone it is absolutely necessary; and that the immense local traffic not only justifies but demands its formation, independently of the great accession which must necessarily follow, from the advan. tages wl.ich will be given to the several towns and ports above enumerated, and to the various ports south-east of Derby, in opening to them the grand commercial depot and port of Liverpool. The necessity of establishing the most direct railway communi cation between the towns of Liverpool and Derby is self-evident, from the fact of the enormous traffic which at present exists under the most disadvantageous circumstances ; the nearest communica tion by railway being 120 miles, whilst, by the construction of the proposed line, the entire distance will be reduced to about 73 miles, opening at the same time the shortest practicable route between Liverpool, Manchester, and London. • It would be superfluous, in reference to a line presenting so many extraordinary advantages, to encumber the prospectus with details of estimated traffic; for, independent of its possessing the great desideratum of directness, the present local trade, it is well known, will produce a return that evidently must surpass that of any other scheme which has hitherto been projected. It may further be mentioned, as worthy of consideration, that the proposed line, which must necessarily form a " Great Trunk line," interferes with no existing railway, presents no engineering difficulties, and requires no works to cause any delay in its corn - pletion. Power will be taken by the Act of Parliament to allow in terest at the rate of 4/. per cent, per annum on all calls until the opening of the line; and no subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond his subscription. Until an Act of Parliament be obtained, the affairs of the Com. pany will be under the direction and control of the Committee of Management. Power will be applied for in the Act—and, in the meantime, is hereby given to the Committee of Management—to increase the proposed capital, if necessary ; to abandon any part of the line; to make branch lines, or enter into arrangements with any other company or companies; and to nominate the first Direc tors of the Company. In the allotment of shares a preference will be given to all parties locally interested, and shareholders in the different railways communicating with the line. Application for prospectuses, maps, and shares, in the form sub joined, may be made to F. W.

The object of this undertaking is to open a direct line of rail way to connect the Northern, Eastern, and South Essex Railways, by means of a steam ferry from Tilbury Fort to Gravesend, with Tunbridge Wells, Lewes, and Brighton. It is contemplated to proceed from the Eastern Counties Rail way at or near Harlow station to Tilbury, crossing the river by a steam floating-bridge to Gravesend, passing by Cobham, Snodland, Mailing, and Hadlow to Tunbridge, thence by the South. Eastern Railway to Tunbridge Wells, passing Ucklield to Lewes, and thence joining the Brighton, Lewes, and Hastings Railway to Brighton. An inspection of the map will clearly show the great import. ance of this railway, whether considered in a local or national point of view, forming as it will a most useful chain of local com munication for the fertile and populous tracts through which it passes. It will bring the Northern and Eastern Counties, the mouth of ' the Thames, and North Kent, into direct communication, by way of Brighton, with Dieppe and Havre, and thus term, in con. junction with the railways now in progress on the Continent, the shortest possiblp route to Paris and the Mediterranean. By this railway the large population of the North Eastern Coun ties, numbering nearly two millions, will have a direct and easy communication with the whole of the populous and important counties of Kent and Sussex, without going round to London, and thereby avoiding the inconvenience arising from the unconnected lines north and south of the metropolis. The utility of this line to the naval and military service, both in times of peace and war, for the conveyance of troops and stores, is evident. With the existing railways, and those now in progress in Kent and Sussex, a most complete system of local communication will be effected ; and as such, the projeet has been received with the most distinguished approbation and pledges of support from the principal proprietors along the line, and the Corporation of Gravesend have promised their entire sanction to, and will cordially support it. The ground has been carefully surveyed, and found is present no difficulties to the formation of a good working line. The existing local traffic has been ascertained to be amply suf ficient to fulfil the requirements of the undertaking; but a large accession of valuable traffic cannot fail to be the result of the increased accommodotion thus afforded to the public, and rendering the undertaking one of the most important as well as productive lines of railway in that part of the country.
