The formatisn of this Company has originated with gentlemen having extensive local interests, for the purpose of effecting direct railway communication between London and Hastings, using a por tion of the existing railways to complete the most direct line, as well As assist in extending railway accommodation in the south-eastern district, " and will be the only direct line wider local management between London and Hastings." The line will be constructed for working either with atmospheric power or locomotive steam-engines, as may be proved to be most advantageous previous to the perma nent way being laid. It is also proposed to make aline of railway from Tunbridge Wells to Lc..ves and Brighton, by a junction with the coast line at Lewes, and thus open lines of communicntion with the populous towns in North licit and the southern coast. It is further contemplated to establish a branch to the town and port of Eye, or to connect the Direct Hastings line with the Hastings and Ashford coast line, for which an Act was obtained last session. To the inhabitants of Tunbridge Wells, Maidstone, Rochester, Chatham, Sheerness, Gravesend, &e., it will 'afford direct and speedy arrest to Hastings, Brighton, Eastbourne, Worthing, and the neigh bouring seaporte, as well as the eastern and western parts of Sussex. To tile inhabitants of Hastings and St. Leonard's the advantages to be derived from the formation of this line will be evident. Bring ing the Metropolis within a two hours' journey, It must of necessity greatly increase the already well-established reputation of those jaitiy-eelebrated watering-places, and bring to them an increased number of visitors, who are now deterred from residing there by rea son of the absence of railway acconunodation. To the inhabitants of Lewes and Brighton the advantages are pro portionately great. - Pausing, as the proposed line will do, through a great agricultural district, it will give increased facilities for the transport of the produce of those dietricts. In 180 f; that eminent engineer, the late Mr. John Rennie, pro jected a harbour and dock, at Hastings; and subsequently, Mr.Cubitt, C.E., and Mr. Brooks, Cll., surveyed the coast, and projected har bour., in the seine situation; there can be no doubt a considerable portion of continental traffic must pass from Hastings to the opposite ports on the French coast, the direct line between London and raris being through Hastings. The exiitin; trade and fishery of Hastings is ample to pay live per cent. en the coast of the harbour, pier, and dock, and the natural result of such accommodation opposite so many ports on the French coast, must be that of threefold increase. Strict attention to economy will be given in the expenditure of the capital, thereby guaranteeing to the public low charges for the con veyance of passengers and goods, and there eau be no reasonable doubt, that allen the traffic is fairly developed, the full rate of 10 per cent. *ill be paid, and a surplus left for branch lines, or a reduction of fares. In drawing attention to the merits of this undertaking it should be observed that the formation of a trunk line between the metropolis and Hastings, one of the most healthy and fashionable watering-places in the kingdom, which Is increasing in estimation the more its valua ble re sources are developed, in addition to the formation of a harbour, pier, and dock—the great improvement in steam navigation—the establishment of railways between Paris and the ports on the French coast opposite Hastings, " render this one of the most important, as well as direct lines of communication between London and Paris," as reference to the map will clearly point out. There are no engineering difficulties ; and the lines are under survey, for the purpose of depositing plans, &c., previous to the en suing s ession of Parliament. The liability of the Shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions, and in allotment of shares, a preference will be given to landowners on the respective lines ; and power will be se cured in the Act to allow 4 per cent. on paid-up capital previous to opening the lines. Irotpectuses and plans of the line, with forms of application for allarer, may be had at the solicitors, at the temporary offices of the company, and at the following sharebrokers London—J.

The placing of Wisbeach, the natural port of this rich and exten sive agricultural district, In immediate connexion with Huntingdon, the focus of six railways, must be a great accommodation, and of paramount importance to that port ; added to which, it has long been desired by the mercantile community of both towns.

L ONDON to DUNGENESS POINT. (Provisionally Regis t ered.) A Company has been formed 'or the purpose of making a harbour and docks at DUNGENESS POINT and connecting them by means of a short line with the Tunbridge and Rye Harbour Railway to London. A view of the map will at once show the great national advantage of this harbour as a port of refuge, and the certainty of its becoming the port for the whole of the French and Peninsular traffic, being a considerable saving in distance both by land and sea, in comparison with the present routes by Dover and Folkstone. The merits of this scheme will be best estimated by a reference to the report of the Government Commissioners on the projected har bours of refuge. Prospectuses, with the names of the Committee and 1 details of the plan, will be published in a few days ; meantime all communications may be addressed to William Best, Esq., solicitor, 35, Lincoln's Inn-folds. Preference in the allotment of shares will be given to holders of scrip in the Tunbridge and Rye Harbour Rail way, and the French Companies in connexion with this line.

To remedy the evils of delay anti 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 ad. 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 ett Iltmgerford or Waterloo-bridge, the line will take the most h or practicable route to Kennington, from thence it will follow near to as near a st s possible the old turnpike road, passing throug 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 respt.ctive 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 ptoceeding 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 nndertaking. 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 in c h,_ 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 amoant of traffic at the present time upon the roads be tween Croydon, Mitcham, Tooting, Lc., 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 arc almost wholly supplied from the London markets, &c., and who have, at the present time, no mode of conveyance but upon the turnpike road. In the transit of building materials, corn, coal, 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 particularly useful and convenient. Some idea may be formed of the local necessity of this railway, when it is known that the number ofpassengers who avail themselves of the accommodation afforded by the several omnibuses and other public vehicles, running upon the turnpike-road, have been ascer tained to exceed 2,609 daily, An equal number (at least) proceed by private and other conveyances. Of foot passengers, although no accurate estimate can be formed of them, it is considered 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 an 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. The - e 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 Streatham, the long-favoured and much-frequented Beulah and Norwood will 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 thereibre 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, an I will be generally supported by local in fluence. They have caused a partial survey to be made, which will be completed shortly, and they have the assurance of their engineers that there are not more than ordinary difficulties to contend with. The liability of the shareholders will be restricted, by Act of Parlia ment, to the amount of their subscriptions; and power will be applied for in the Bill to allow interest at 4/. per cent. per annum oa all calls from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line.

The proposed railway is intended to commence on the Trent Valley Railway near Stafford, and proceeding thence in an easterly direction, 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, funning 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 Rcpton, 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 and other railways in progress, form a complete line of railway communication between the central towns of Stafford, Derby, NottinOiam, 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, forni 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 east with those of the Irish Sea on the west, and traversing in its course the rich agricultural districts of the eastera, midland, and western counties, and accommodating the important, and populous mantraicturing 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 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 not superior, 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 600,000 t., in share 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 he 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 days' notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by any party making default in the execution of those deeds will be forfeited. G RAND JUNCTION and MIDLANDS UNION RAILWAY. Notice is hereby given, that no further Applications for Shares win be received. By order of the Committee, W. A. ROSS, Secretary. 1, Royal Exchange Bnildings, Ilth October, 1845. PRELIMINARY ANNOUN EMENT. HALIFAX AND fIULL DIREt;T, AND lIULL, GOOLE, GRIMSBY, AND YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND GRAND JUNCTION (at or near Methley) RAILWAY, via, Ilipperholme, Lighteliffe, Cleckheaton, Mills-bridge; Gomersal, Birstal, Batley, Hanging Heaton, Ardsleys, Lathouse, Stanley to Methley, with a branch to Wakefield. (Provisionally Registered.) Capital 600,0001. in 30,000 shares of 201. each. Deposit 21.25. per Share, in compliance with the Standing Orders of Parliament, The Object of this railway is to provide for the above-named densely populated and rapidly improving manufacturing, towns and villages, a dirict and convenient outlet towards York, Selby, Hull, Goole, Grimsby, and the east. In conjunction with the West Riding Union, Liverpool and Leeds, and other projected railways passing through or near to Ilalith7c, the Undertaking now proposed will form one of the most direct railway communications, as well between the ports of Liverpool and HO, as between the great manufacturing districts of the west, and the agri cultural districts of the East. The population residing upon and along the proposed line between ?Willa and Metbley exceeds 200,000 persons, who are chiefly engaged in manufacturing and mining industry—to such a community a rail way passing immediately through it, giving a nearer and snore con venient access to the Irish Channel and the Gelman Ocean and the intermediate places, Is an object of importance, and promises. when accomplished, to confer great advantages on the inhalaants, and to secure to the shareholders an ample return for the capital invested. .„ ..... _ By this project the valuable coal fields of W.ke, Batley, Soothill, Ealt and West Ardeley, Lofthouse, and Stanley (containing the well known " Bowling and Low Moor," " High Moor," and Stanley Main," beds which re now wrought to a von siderable extent), will be furnished, for the first time, with the means of cheap and convenient railway transit toHalifax and other large towns westward, and to York, Selby, Hull, Goole, Grimsby, and various other places eastward. The celebrated flagstone quarries of Northowram and Southowram, which annually export from Goole, Selby, and Hull, to the eastern coast of England and to the Continent, large quantities of flags, paving stones, and slates, will supply this line of railway with a considerable amount of traffic. By means of 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 readiest 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 Railway 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 important iron works at Wibsey, and Low Moor. the nearest route to Selby, Hull, and the east ; consequently this railway company may fairly lay claim to carry a large portion of the raw material and ma nufactured productions, used and produced in that densely-peopled portion of Yorkshire. From a point on the main line at or near Soothill, it is intended to make a branch to Wakefield of about five miles down the Alverth , rpe 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 junet on at Methley the distance will he about nineteen miles ; and, although the ndulating 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 are enabled to state most confidently 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 arc not unfavourable, there are no rivers or canals to cross, and tile project does not interfere with ornamented property of any kind. The Parliamentary 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 'lament to the amount of their shares, And power will be taken to allow interest at 4 per cent. on all deposits and calls from the time of payment to the opening of the line. A more enlarged prospectus, togett,er with the names of an infinen tial Provisional Committee, will slrjrtly be published; in the mean time, every information may be ' btained of the solicitors, to whom application for shares may be Iratde in the subjoined form. A pre ference will be given in the alb ,tment to landowners on the line and parties locally interested. By order, _ _ .

The Direct London and Liverpool Railway is also a Direct Liver pool and Birmingham Railway It uses the London and Birmingham Railway the whole distance to Birmingham)—lrorn thence It proceeds to Wolverhampton, either on the Grand Junction, or on the Wolverhampton, Hadley, and Bir mingham Railway From Wolvothampton commences the new portion of railway, consisting of 55 miles only, and passing through Newport and Whitchurch on to Chester. At Chester the Direct London and Liverpool Railway proceeds on the Chester and Birkenhead Railway to Birkenhead. It is proposed to establish at Birkenhead a steam ferry, gratis, to T,iverpool across the Mersey so as to unite both towns into one, LOCA frOLICITOBS, G. F.

Rees Mogg, Cholwell, near B-th PARLIAMENTARY AGENT—Cadwallader F. Waddy, ESQ. 4 .IECRETARY--Charles Martin, Esq. 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 ports and towns of Southampton, Gosport, Portsmouth, and Bristol ; and, b 3 mesas of the Bristol and Birmingham Railway, with Gloucester, Worcester, Birmingham, 'Manchester, Liverpool, and the north of England. From its proximity to the Continent, the port of Dover will always be the most accessible point of the English coast; an expeditious communication therefore between that and the other ports, harbours, and inland towns of the United Kingdom, must necessarily regarded as a great national advantage. Dover is at present the add port of embarkation for Calais, Boulogne, Ostend, and other continental towns, and the vast numbers already resorting there both on business and pleasure, will b• 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 Dover as a Harbour of Refuge, and recommended the outlay there • of 1,500,000/., it cannot fail of becoming a place •f the greatest resort fin• 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 will form a portion of a grand trunk line, completing the chain of railway communication t.pon the narrow gauge between the south-eastern coast, and Bristol amid the western, northern, and mid land counties. The lino 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 a branch to Bath, and pursuing its course through the Somersetsbire coal-field, throwing off a branch towards Radstock into the heart of the collieries, terminate in ajunctiou 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, Ker.t, and South Hants, and afford the means •f conveyance •f their produce t• 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, Brighton, and the other watering-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 fbr 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 farther west, the present line will connect Dover towards the south, with Southampton (the packet station for the East and West Indies, &c.), Gosport, and Fortsmouth, 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 will join the proposed London, Salis bury, and Yeovil Railway, and throw open to Dover and the south eastern counties the populous arid wealthy cities of Salisbury and Exeter, the rich agricultural counties of Wilts, Dorset, Somerset, and Devon, the p,,rts of Plymouth, Devonport, and Falmouth, and the mitt 4ral regions of Cornwall. To Devizes, Trowbridge, Bradford, and Bath, and the other towns in the vicinity of its course, the benefit ;which this line will confer cantiot be 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, end securing to them the whole of the trade between the 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 Wolverhampton Company for the protection and benefit of the public; and it is with no fear of the resu't that the promoters of the present undertaking invite attention to one distinguishing feature it contains, viz., that by the construction of the line from Bristol t.' Basingstoke, the Box Tunnel will he avoided, and a new and indepet:dent communication will he 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 th• proposed central station at Hungertbrd-bridge, and the convenient 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 passes does not present any engineering difficulties of moment, nor will any resi dential or ornamental property be interfered with except 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 advantageous is the shareholders. The capital proposed to be raised is 1,500,000/., in 75,000 shares of 201. each, with a deposit of 21. 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 heels obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. The Subscribers' A greement 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.
