Dover is present the chief port of embarkat:on for Calais, Boulogne, Ostend, and other continental towns, and the vast numbers already resorting there both on business and pleasure, will he im measurably increased when the railways of France, Belgium, list land, and Germany era fully brought into operation. In addition to which, the Government Commissioners having selected Dover as a Harbour of Refuge, and recommended the outlay there 1,500,000/.,• it cannot fail of becoming a place of the greatest resort tOr the shipping and commercial interests of the coax try, a Al perhaps the most important town on the southern coast. George Addison, Esq., Bradford, Director of the Liverpool and Leeds Direct Railway John Anderson, Esq., London, Director of the Tring, Reading, and Basingstoks Railway Jo:wit Acton, Esq., J.P., Wigan, Director of the Manchester and W - gan Railway William Ascroft, Esq., the Willows, Iffy, Director of the Stafford shire Potteries, Liverpool, and Manchester Direct Railway Joseph Austin, Esq., Ileddiugley-hill, Leeds, Director of the Leeds In every point of view, therefore, whether for national security, er for travelling excursions, or the invaluable interests of our shipping and commerce, the paramount importance of it cheaper, wore conve nient, and accelerated intercourse between this great port and all Parts of the kingdom, must be sufficiently obvious. This the pre moters fully anticipate wilt be attained by the proposed rAway, which will form a portion of a grand trunk line, completing Ole chain of railway communication ~ p on the - narrow gauge between the south-eastern coast, and Bristol and the western, northern, and mid land counties. _ _ . and York-Railway Ackroyd, Esq., Westhourne Lodge, Ottley, Yorkshire, Di rector of the East and West Yorkshire, the Midlands and Thirsk Junction, and Leeds and York and Midland Junction James Beech, Esq., Grosveror-place, and Brandon, Warwickshire, Director of the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate Railway . Cecil Brook Boothby, Esq., Ashbourne-hall, Derbyshire, Director of the South Union Gabbett Beare, Esq.. Porchester-place, Connaught-square, Director of the Worcester, Shrewsbury, and Crewe 17nion Railway John Bouiton,Esq , Birmingham, Director of the Birmingham, Lich field, and Manchester Railway Thomas Byrom, Esq., Alderman, Wigan, Director of the Manchester and Wigan, and the Liverpool, Preston, and North Unlon Junction The line will commence at the terminus of the South-E:.stel .111211- way at Reigate, proceed thence by Dorkins, Gcdalm'n , J. and Odiham to the Basingstoke station, en the South-Western Rail way. It will then proceed by Andover towards Devizes, 'I row bridge, and Bradford, with a branch to Bath, and pursuing its coarse through the Somersetsbire coal-field, throwing off a branch tower - A Radstock into the heart of the collieries, terminate in a junction with the Bristol and Birmingham Railway at Bristol. By its cour;e through Dorizing, Godahning, Farnham, and Odt 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 junction with the contemplated " Reading, Guildford, and Reigate 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, IStiehlon, and the other se:doing-places in Sussex and Kent; and a vast increase of visitors will undoubtedly be attracted to those places from the interior of England by the accommodation and facilities for travelling which will be 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 west, the present lino will connect Dover towards the south, with Southampton (the packet station for the East and West Indies, &c.), Gosport, and I ortsmouth, and towards the north, with Cheltenham, Gloucester, Worcester, Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool, also with Shrewsbury, Chester, and Holyhead, and In fact with the whole of North and South Wales. At Basingstoke, also, this line writ join the proposed London, Salis bury, and Yeovil Railway, and throw open to Dover and the south eastern counties the populous aid wealthy cities of Salisbury and Exeter, the rich agricultural counties of Wilts, Dorset, Somerset, and Devon, the p its of Plymouth, Devonport, and Falmouth, and the mineral regions of Cornwall. T. Devizes,'Trowbridge, Bradford, and Bath, and the other towns in the vicinity of its course, the benefit . which this line confer cannot :se 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 Dosser and the Downs, pro viding a perfect line for telegraphic communication, end securing to them the whole of the trade between the south-cast 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 princip7e of competition with existing interests which was claimed by the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company for the protection and benefit of the public ; and it Is with no Mar of the rem i t that the promoters of the present undertaking invite attention to cue distinguishing feature it contains, viz., that by the construction of the line from Bristol t , 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 advantage: of the proposed centres station et Hungerford-bridge, and the convenient access to the Thames both there and at Nine Elms, over the distant and inconvenient station of tie Great Western at Paddington. In leiryth the proposed line will be nearly 110 miles (assuming this Convexly to lows 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 passes does not present any i ngineering difficulties of moment, nor will any resi dential or ornamental property be interfered with except under au Ira perative 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 advantageous to the shareholders. The capital proposed to be raised is 1,500,0(0/., in 75,000 shares of 201. 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 4/. per cent. per annum, upsn 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 been 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 ! . meat of the deposits.

The proposed railway is intended to commence on the Trent Valley Railway near Stafford, and proceedin; thence in 'an easterly direction, to pass through, or near to, Tixall, Ilaywood, Colwich, and Abbott's Bromley, to the rapidly-increasing town of Burton upon- Trent, where 1 will run into the Birmingham and Derby Railway, forming the shortest and best practicable route from Stafford to Derby. Le'i.ving 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 a Junction with the Derby and Not tingham Railway ; and thus, by means of these end other railways in progress, form a complete line of railway communication between the central towns of Stafford, Derby, Nottin..diam, 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 shores of the German Ocean on the cast with► those of the Irish Sea on the west, and traversing in its course the rich agricultural districts of the eastern, i n , s o i p d , l: l l o n u d ; rilrliCi;ognittot,ivesn,stionfdsatcactioonzoitartii,nyg, tNhostitinzatna)n,t,Laenid. Lei rester, and Shrewsbury. But another most important advantage that will result from the formation of tills 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, Stoekpott, and Manchester. By the proposed line the distance between Nottingham and Derby and Manchester will be at least from 15 to 20 miles less than by the present circuitous route by Sheffield. The traffic on this line must necessarily be equal, if slot superior, to that of any line in the district. Tile length of the line will be about 33 miles, through a country presenting no difficulties of snore than an ordinary kind for its con struction. The capital proposed to be raised is 600,000!., in shares of 20/. 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 or 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 Om each call until the opening of the line. The Subscriber: Agreement and the Parliamentary Contract must be executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip cer tificates, of which 14 days' notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by any party making default in the execution of those deeds will be forfeited.

In conjunction with the West hiding Union, Liverpool and Leeds, and other projected railways passing through cr near to Halifax, the undertaking now proposed will hum one of the most direct railway emu - mullein ions, as well between the ports of Liverpool and Hull, as between the great manufacturing districts of the west, and the agri cultural distr;ets of the East. • The popnlation residing upon and along the proposed line between Halifax and Mobley exceeds 200,000 persons, who are chiefly en7aged in manufacturing and mining industry —to such a community a rail way passing immediately through it, giving a nearer and more con venient access to the Irish Channel and the Getman Ocean and the intermediate places, is an object of importance, and promises, when accomplished, to confer great advantages on the inhabitants, and to secure to the shareholders an staple return for the capital invested. By this - project the valuable coal fields of W.ke, Batley, Soothill, East and West Ardsley, Lofthome, and Stanley (containing the well known " Bowling and Low Moor," " High Moor," and Stanley Main," beds which re now wrought to a •on siderable extent), will be furnished, for the first time, with the means of cheap and convenient railway transit toHalifax and ether large towns westward, and to Yoric, S IHy, linll, Goole, Grimsby, and various other places eastward. The celebrated flagstone quarries of Northowram and Southowram, which annually expert from Goole, Selby, and Hull, to the eastern coast of England and to the Continent, large quantities of flag,, paving stones, and slates, will supply this line of railway with a col siderable amount of traffic. t t i sa i l i i . t i t, t o s w i il l , t i,l s i l fl o o l f i m v the as - The principal objects of the scheme are-Ist.

It Is also proposed to form a branch or branches from the neigh to those places, and their respective neighbourhoods, the advantages of a direct railway communication with the metropolis. neigh bourhood of Streatham to Mitcham and Tooting, m i • A great pot%ion of the traffic in passengers and goods upon the Brighton and Dover Once 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 ad. ,, c0 „ 1 expense and delay. The removal of this long-felt grievance is a leading object with the promot,rs of the pre sent andertaking. They deem it rlght, 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 wills 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 Tolke- stone, as well as the several places on the South - Eastern line, more easily accessible from that par t of the metropolis. The great amount of traffic at this present time uPon the roads be- tween Croydon, Mitcham, Tootbsg, tc., and London, proves at once tl.at the existing railway facilities do not at all meet the eyigencies of the mass of population to whoM this line will he available: Tice population who reside npon or in the immediate neighbour hood of the proposed line, independent of the metropolis, and belwca n the intended termini, exceeds 100,000, whose wants are alm os t whory supplied from the London markets, &c., and who have, at the present time, no mo d e of conveyance hut upon the turnpike road. In tha transit of bu ildirg materials, corn, co a l, lime, and other heavy goods, from the warehouses and wharfs on the banks of the Thames, and for marketable produce in each_ direction, this line must become to them partieniarlY useful and convent, nt. Some idea may he formcd of the local necessity of this railway. when it is known that the 111.1111bCr.Of passengcts who avail themselves of the-accommodation afforded by the several onmibuses and other pub Ltvehicles, - running upon the turnpike road, have been ascer tained to exceed 2,600 daily. An equal number (at least) proceed By means rf the Leeds and Dewsbury Railway, now in course of construction (which the proposed line will intersect at Batley), the inhabitants of the clothing districts previously mentioned will have the reasiiest access to the Leeds markets and to the country north of Leeds. By a junction at Cleckheaton with the Bradford and Dewsbury branch of the West Riding Union hallway the present scheme will give to Halifax and its populous neighbourhood the shortest railway communication with Dewsbury, and in connexion with other pro posed lines with Barnsley, &c. The same junction at Cleckheaton will give to Bradford and the linrortant iron works at Wilrey, and Low Moor, the nearest route to Selby, Hull, and the cast; consequently this railway company , may fairly lay claim to carry a large portico of the raw material and ma nuracturcd productions, used and produced in that densely-peopled portion of Yorkshire. Frost a point on the main line at or near Poothill, it is intended to make a branch to Wakefield of about five miles down the Alvertherne Valley, there to join the Pontefract and Goole, the Wakefield branch of the London and York, and the Midland Railways. It is evident, therefore, that the proposed railway and its intended branch (aided by the West Riding Union line between Bradford and Cleckheaton) will provide the shortest route hitherto projected from Halifax and Bradford to Wakefield, Doncaster, and the eastern counties. From Halifax to the proposed jui:ct on at Methley the distance will be about nineteen miles ; and, although the Lndulating surface of the country along a portion of the line will occasion some expensive works, yet the proposed capital is amply sufficient to complete the whole of the railway, with its branches and stations. And the pro moters arc enabled to state most conlitkutly that the through and local traffic in passengers, goods, and minerals, will be such as to render this undertaking one of the most profitable in the kingdom. The gradients . are not unfavourable, there are no rivers or canals to cross, and the project does not inter.bre with ornamented property of any kind. The Parliaiy.entary survey is now in progress and will be ready for the forthcoming session. The liability of the shareholders will be limited by the Act of Par liament to the amouut of their shares, and power will be label) to allow interest at 4 per cont. on all deposits and calls from the time of payment to the opening of the line.

This railway is proposed to commence at Uxbridge, proceeding thence to the Southall station of the Great Western Railway, and linens through Heston to Hounslow, there meeting one of the proposed lines to Hounslow from London. Leaving Hounslow the line pro ceeds through Whitton, Twickenham, Teddington, and Hampton, to Kingston, and, crossing the Thames, joins the Kingston station of the South-Western Railway, whence it will proceed to, and terminate at ,Epsom. The towns and-places through which the line passes, or most imme diately affects, contain an aggregate population of about 200,000 persons.

By means also of this line, and the Croydon and Epsom line (now in course of construction), all the before -mentioned towns and places are likewise connected with Croydon. The hnportance of connecting two such towns as Uxbridge and Brentford with Kingston, Croydon, and Epsom, three of the largest market-towns in Surrey, between which the present agricultural traffic is extensive, is too obvious to require comment. A glance at the map will at once show that tine communication now proposed is not only judicious, but, in order to satisfy the requirements of the important and populous district involved, is actually imp ratiye. It will afford to Uxbridge and the towns in Ilertiirrdshire 'north of it, with WII , CII it will he connected by proposed new lines, direct transit to d th b e , G .

This undertaking presents the additional and important advantage of competing with no line at present established; on the contrary, it will be the means of connecting and feeding the several lines enu merated, and several others that are projected; and the engineer reports that it passes over a particularly easy country, and will be capable of construction at about 16,000/. per mile ; and the land owners on the line who have been seen, are favourable to the un dertaking. The length of the line will be about 18 miles. Application for shares must be made in the annexed form, to the solicitors of the Company, Messrs.
