The title of this line sufficiently and correctly explains the object f the undertaking The Birminghtu a terminus will be placed in communication with all the other rails rays having a station in that town, and will be brought as near as practicable to its centre. Proceeding thence in a northerly direction s, and on the west side of the Lichfield road, it will pass within a short t distance of Sutton Coldfleld, and to Lichfield, at the latter of which . - places there will be a station in communication with the projected Walsall lines. Thence crossly tg the Trent Valley, near King's Bromley, it will pursue the enure is otf the Blythe Valley, or by or near to Abbots Bromley to Leif- ;11, where it will leave the Blythe Valley, and by a short cutting re *oh the Teals station on Remington's London and Manchester lir eat the junction of the Crewe branch, or by a junc tion with which lever of the projected lines to Manchester may be adopted by Parld 'talent. The entire len 4th of the new line to be made will not exceed thirty-four miles, , and the whole will bs carried over a moat favour able country—tv ro-thirds being a water-level. Sections of a g neat portion of the line have been made, and the en tire Parliamentary survey will be completed by the 9th ofOctober. This railway trill afford 'a route from Birmingham to Manchester eleven miles shot :Ler than by any existing or projected line. It will also give the bee x and nearest line between Huddersfield, and Bir mingham. It will also ft* I fish a nearer and more direct route from Birming ham to the Potts tries than any line made or projected by several miles, assuming any of the projected Pottery lines to have their ter mini at Colwich, on the Trent Valley, or at Stafford, on the Grand Junction Raw ty ; thus giving to Manchester, and also the Pot teries, the shor' test, easiest, and most direct route to Birmingham. It will also giv s the nearest line between Huddersfield and Birming ham and South. impton. This railway crosses the projected Leeds and Huddersfield and Wolverhampto a Direct Railway. In the Blythe Valley a - station will be placed, and • communication effected, so as to afford to Birmingham the shortest ne rte by many miles, with Leeds, Huddersfield, Sheffield, and the norti it am parts of England.

To remedy the evils of delay and inconvenience to which parties are, at the present time, necessarily subjected in proceeding from the west end of the metro polis to Croydon, or the most distant places on the South-Eastern and London and Brighton Railways, as well as the several sea-ports and packet-stations on the coasts of Kent and Sussex; and 2d. To supply to the numerous and wealthy inhabitants of the district through which the intended line will pass (at present wholly with out railway accommodation), a greatly improved means for the in terchange of communication with the metropolis, and with each other. Commencing at the intended terminus of the South-Western Rail way, at Hungerford or Waterloo -bridge, the line will take the most practicable route to Kennington, from thence it will follow as near as possible the old turnpike road, passing through or near to the wealthy and populous districts of Stockwell, Clapham, Brixton, Tulse-hill, Streatham, Norwood, Beulah, and Thornton-heath, effect ing a junction at Croydon with the several existing or projected lines from that place. It is also proposed to form a branch or branches from the neigh bourhood of Streatham to Mitcham and Tooting, and thus to extend to those places, and their respective neighbourhoods, the advantages of a direct railway communication with the metropolis. A great portion of the traffic In passengers and goods upon the Brighton and Dover lines is supplied from the west-end of London and the Birmingham and Great Western Railways. The necessity of proceeding to the station at London-bridge, and by the present circuitous route to Croydon, is a serious and unnecessary inconveni ence, entailing additional expense and delay. The removal of this long-felt grievance is a leading object with the promoters of the pre sent undertaking. They deem it right, however, to observe, in lay ing this scheme before the public, that they have no desire to inter fere with existing railway interests, further than is absolutely indis pensable, but that on the other hand it will be their object to yield assistance to, and in return endeavour to secure it, from each com pany with which this line may ultimately be connected. A glance at the map will show, that as a branch or arm of the London and Brighton Railway, this undertaking completes a straight line of communication from the west end of London to Croydon, Reigate, and Brighton, and renders the ports of Dover and Folke stone, as well as the several places on the South-Eastern line, more easily accessible from that part of the metropolis. The great amount of traffic at the present time upon the roads be tween Croydon, Mitcham, Tooting, &c., and London, proves at once that the existing railway facilities do not at all meet the exigencies of the mass of population to whom this line will be available. The population who reside upon or in the immediate neighbour hood of the proposed line, independent of the metropolis, and between the intended termini, exceeds 100,000, whose wants are almost wharfs wholly supplied from the Lond on markets, &c., a n d who have, at t r and i a is , on the banks of corn, coal, lime, and the present time, no mode o f conve y ance but u p on the turnpike helanyythgeootarsa,nfsrlomhe u t other ro the Thames, and for marketable p roduce in each directi on , this line must become to them particularly u seful and convenient. o f t biding warehouses ma Some idea may be formed of the local necessity of this railway W' en it is known that the number ofpassengers who avail themselves of the accommodation afforded by the several omnibuses and other publieiehicles, running upon the turnpike-road, have been ascer tained to exceed 2,600 daily. An equal number (at least) proceed by private and other conveyances. Of foot passengers, although no accurate estimate NM be fora* of Wow, 0 is considere4 that they at least number four times that of passengers who travel by con veyance. The tonnage of goods it is calculated will be in full pro portion to the receipt from passengers. Experience has fully proved, that on however liberal a scale the probability of future traffic in the transit of goods and passengers has been judged, almost every line of railway has, upon its completion, vastly exceeded the calculated amount. There are, however, in this instance, reasons for supposing' that the extended facilities of com munication will cause more than an ordinary increase in the con veyance of passengers. The country which the line of railway will open is singularly picturesque and beautiful, and in addition to the admired districts of Brixton and Streathain, the long-favoured and much-frequented Beulah and Norwood NN , id be placed within easy access, and become more than ever, objects of interest and delight to the visitor and resident of the metropolis. There can therefore be little doubt but that the present line must become a profitable and eligible scheme for the investment of capital. The promoters of this undertaking have pleasure in announcing that it is approved of, awl will Ise generally supported by local in fluence.

The integral line will be continued from Faversham to or near to Herne Bay,; and from thence to the South-Eastern Extension Railway (now being made), at a point near Sarr, and will then pro ceed on that line direct to Ramsgate eastwards, and direct to Deal south-eastwards. From a point between Herne Bay and Sarr the line will also be carried by a short extension to Margate. By this project Marga'e will be placed within 75 miles of the me tropolis, instead of more than 100, as at present, and that, too, by a direct line through Faversham, at which place it will meet the Lon don lines. The important town of Ramsgate, now so extensively connected with continental communication, will also be thus afforded a much nearer overland route to London ; and Deal, Ramsgate, Margate, Herne Bay, Sheerness, Chatham, Rochester, Gravesend, Woolwich, Greenwich, and London, will all be placed in immediate or easy con nexion upon one continuous line of railway. By means also of this undertaking, in conjunction with the exist ing and projected railways proceeding to the south coast of Essex, the whole of the passengers and traffic from Liverpoo l, Manchester, Leeds, Hull, York, and th e N or th ern , the Midland, and the will polis , whereby the Eastern Counties, be conveyed to Dover a nd the Conti nent via Sheerness, in p re f erence t o a lengthened and cir cuitous route through the m e t ro journey will be shortened more than 50 miles, travelling expenses will be curtailed, and the serious inconvenience and delay of transhipment and con veyance from one part of London to another wholly avoided. A glance at the map also will show the immense advantage which the metropolis itself will enjoy by its being thus afforded other routes to the coast of Kent. The millions who annually seek pleasure in excursions to Gravesend, Sheerness, Southend, Herne Bay, Margate, Ramsgate, Deal, and Dover, will have a choice of different routes. They may proceed by railway, oa the Essex side of the Thames, to the Thames Haven, Tilbury Fort, or Southend — p ass over to Sheer ness by water, and thence proceed direct by this railway —or they may reach Sheerness wholly by water, and then avoid the sea —or, may pass at once from London, on the Surrey sidesof the Thames, to Sheerness, Herne Bay, Margate, an d Ramsgate, by railway in a direct line, consuming only about two hours in the journey, and may vary their pleasure by going in one direction and returning by another. Independently of the vast multitudes who will thus seek health and recreation, the importance, as a national object , o f connectin g all the above-mentioned towns, and solving a direct line from Sheerness to Dover, together with the immense existing traffic in the direction of the undertaking, and the great increase which the improved and enlarged modes of communication throughout. Kent will occasion, must be too apparent to need further observation ; and the Commit tee, from careful inquiry, feel confidence in stating that no scheme of railway has yet been offered 111) public attention combining greater public and private advantages.

Assuming the northern terminus of the Erewash Railway as its origin, this line will pass through localities totally un provided with railway accommodation, into the populous ma nufacturing districts of Lancashire. It will continue the important line from which it borrows the prefix of its name, from Alfreton, in Derbyshire, where it will be a recipient of traffic from the Cromford Canal—communicating with the Codnor ironworks—along the Dinting Vale, and, obeying the course of the river Derwent, enter Yorkshire, in the vicinity of Saddiewerth. In its course, it will pass through or near to Matlock, Ashbourne, Glos sop, Mottram, Hy - field, and Duckenfield, in reaching which point, the Manckester and Sheffield Railway will be intersected, and the Hud dersfield Canal Railway passed, near to the Rochdale station of the Manchester and Leeds Railway. It is unnecessary to state here the character of the country from Rochdale to Blackburn : it will be sufficient to observe, that it is the seat of those manufactures to which England owes her accumulating wealth. The line will proceed thence through or near to Whitworth and Rossendale, and fall into the East Lancashire Railway, in the vicinity of Haslingden. A branch will be thrown out of the think line, from the Junction with the East Lancashire line near Haslingden, by Low-Moor iron works and Bacup, to Todmorden. The Erewash Extension will be the only direct route from the centre of Derbyshire to the great manufacturing towns and chief seaports of Lancashire. It will traverse a valley district adorned with the most picturesque scenery, and, at the same time, rich in , mi 1 1 the the Cromford—the Manchester and Sheffield —the Huddersile linenseeralf r s prod. ltv s u y c e ith l d t w w i b c e o m fix m l b u y n I n c o a t l e e , s a :h e are: flue working k s 7 , l: y e several n t run k Manchester and Leeds—and the Liverpool and Blackburn. ih To the multiplication of advant a g es which intersecting railways avays re and lines of still-water naviga tion are compelled to afford,will add still the throw ing out of branches from the line itself in so many directions popula tion in the for vested capital will be ob mt, considered,an, d when the theis every dens e r ess ol t o con clude that an ample remuneration By followind the course of rivers, which , in. this instance, fiat further powers es alitiotfra'Veecrs accommodation , isi with the exact direction of the projected line, highly favourable gra dients are Obtained for a considerable part of the length ; and every other section of the country, upon a preliminary survey, has been reported as more than commonly practicable. While the return for capital cannot be questioned, and the necessities of the district de mand accommodation, the expenditure must necessarily fall below the usual amount for works of equal magnitude. To identify this project with that of the Erewash Valley, although not included under, or belonging to the same executive, it is pro posed to allow subscribers in that Company shares in the Erewash Extension : the number to be regulated by the interest retained in the elder project. The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the Share holders beyond the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament is obtained ; and power will be taken in the Act to allow 4 per cent. in terest upon all calls.

This line will commence at a point on the Midland Counties Rail way, near Kegworth, and will proceed in a direct line to Nuneaton, and thus, by means of other projected lines, a direct communication will be formed between the important towns of Nottingham, Newark, and Lincoln on the one side, and Birmingham, Coventry, and War wick on the other ; and: as there is no doubt the proposed rail way between Cheltenham and Warwick will be formed, a direct communication will thus be effected between the Severn at Glouces ter, and the Humber at Great Grimsby. At the same time, a rich mineral and: agricultural district will be supplied with railway ad vantages. The line will pass through a very productive district, intersecting the Leicestershire coal-fields and limeworks, and will afford commu nication, north and south, to the Derbyshire potteries. With such an assured immediate and prospective amount of traffic, the profits on the small capital required cannot fail to be highly remunerative. In consequence of the lines in the course of formation, exclusive of those projected to Great Grimsby, that port will be rendered of the first importance, and It must be obvious that traffic from the district south-west of Warwick will be very great. The distance saved by the proposed line between Leamington, Warwick, Coventry, and Nottingham, will be about twenty miles ; it and A s is Birminghambe t t h w e ee sb n or test;routs Lincoln, it must secure the traffis from Birmingham is Notting ham, Newark, Lincoln, and the port of Great Grimsby ; and by com municating with the Erewash Valley Railway at Long Ea ton, is mast f au rom d N B o t t rts tin in gh g a h m ant atitt Nottingham six ttinm ghil. ames command the traffic from Coventry, Warwick, and the district south of those towns to Sheffield, Leeds, York, and the north of England generally. It will also afford a direct commusication between Not tingham and the district between Warwick and Worcester, by means ef the projected Worcester, Warwick, and Rugby , aid the Warwick and Worcester Railways. The entire length of the line will be about twenty-four miles. Th e Parliamentary surveys are now in active progress, and contracts have ilin line t e o s Coventry, for the forma tion r i:mti case on o e f ire the umg line. tan should ten der been entered into with eminent surveyors, which will insu re amp l e time for a compliance with the standing orders. The engineer also reports the country to be free from all engineering difftculties, and to ees The Committee having determined upon making provisi on f or com pleting present theunusual whole such a course expedient, have resolved to ra i se th e cap it a l t o 550,00 W., in 27,500 shares of 201. each. Any parties who may be desirous of withdrawing their applications in consequence of the above alterations in the project, must signify the same forthwith, otherwise the applicants for shares will be considered as acquiescing therein. Powers for allowance of interest at four per cent. en the paid-up capital will be taken, and the liability of shareholders limited to the amount of their subscriptions. TABLE OF DISTANCES.
