SECRETARY—A. A. Flint, Esq. BANKERS—Messrs. Rogers, Olding, and Co. LOCAL AGENT—H. H. Tarleton, Esq., Birmingham. The title of this line sufficiently and correctly explains the object of the undertaking. The Birmingham terminus will be placed in communication with all eke other railways having a station in that town, and will be brought as near as practicable to its centre. Proceeding thence in a norilierly direction, and on the west side of the Lichfield road, it will pass within a short distance of Sutton Coldfield, and to Lichfield, at the latter of which places there will be a Cation in communication with the projected Walsall lines. Thence crossing the Trent Valley, near King's Bromley, it will pursue the course of the Blythe Valley, or by or near to Abbots Bromley to Leigh, where it will leave the Blythe Valley, and by a short cutting reach the Teen station on Remington's London and Manchester line at the junction of the Crewe branch, or by a junc tion with whichever of the projected lines to Manchester may be adopted by Parliament. The entire length of the new line to be made will not exceed thirty-four miles, and the whole will he carried over a most favour able country—two-thirds being a water-level. Sections ofa great portion of the line have been made, and the en tire Parliamentary survey will be completed by the 9th or - October. This railway will afford a route from Birmingham to Manchester eleven miles shorter than by any existing or projected line. It will also give the best and nearest line between Huddersfield, and Bir mingham. It will also furnieh a nearer and more direct route from Birming ham to the Potteries than any lisle made or projected by several miles, assuming any of the projected Pottery lines to have their ter mini at Colwicie on the Trent Valley, or at Stafford, ou the Grand Junctiou Railway; thus giving to Manchester, and 11.60 the Pot teries, the shortest, easiest, and most direct route to Birmingham. It will also give the nearest line between Huddersfield and Birming ham and Southampton. This railway crosses the projected Leeds and Huddersfield and Wolverhampton Direct Railway. In the Blythe Valley a station will be placed, and communication effected, so as to afford to Birmingham the shbrtest route by many miles, with Leeds, Huddersfield, Sheffield, and the northern parts of England. In allotting shares every legi timate preference will be given to the landholders on the rare. It is obvious that the projected line will afford an ample return to the shareholders.

Burten-upon-Trent —Burton, Uttoxeter, and Ashbouri Union Bank Stafford—Messrs. Stevenson, Salt, and Co. 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 ibbott's Bromley, to the rapidly -Increasing town of Burton-upon- Trent, whore it will run into the Birmingham and Derby Railway, t)rming the shortest and best practicable route front Stafibrd to Derby. Leaving the Birmingham and Derby Railway at Burton upon-Trent, it will proceed along the valley of the Trent by Repton, Swarkestone, anti 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, form a complete line of railway communication between the central towns of Stafford, Derby, Nottingham, Lincoln, Leices ter, Peterborough, and Boston, on the east, and Shrewsbury, Chea 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 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 atibrdin,g, 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 leas 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. . Thy 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 630,0001., 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 tbr scrip cer tificates, of which 14 days' notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by any party making default in the execution of tliose deeds will be forfeited. • G RAND JUNCTION and MIDLANDS UNION RAILWAY.

In submitting this undertaking to the public, the promoters are Influenced no less by a conviction of its importance as a direct con necting line between the important towns of Chichester and Ports mouth and the metropolis, than by its grand national importance in affording a direct communication between the two great naval and military arsenals of Creat Ittitain.—Portsmouth and Chatham. The projected undertaking, by proceeding to the two termini at Chichester aad Portsmouth. will extend the facilities of communica tion with the coast branches of railways along the south of England, connecting itself with Brighton to the eastward, and Southampton towards the west. By the main line falling into the Brighton Rail way th,ii advantage of two termini in London will be secured—the one at tits Bricklayers' Arms, and the other at London-bridge—the latter of which, from its proximity to the Custom Howse, and the several docks on the Thames, is acknowledged to be the best position for a London terminus for merchandise of all descriptions. The line of railway intended to be constructed by this Company will commence at or near the Henn' station near Reigate, on the Lon don and Brighton Railway, a distance of 21 miles front Loudon bridge. In its course to Portsmouth it will pass through or near Reigate, Nowdigate, Capol, Ockley, Ewhurst, Rudgwick, Cranley, Alfold, Billinghurst, Wisborough-green, Plaistow, llaslemere, Chiddingfold, North Chapel, Kirdford, Petwurth, Midhurst, Chi'grove, Stoughton, Racton, Westhounte, and Emsworth, at or near which last inentioned place this projected line will join the Chichester and Portsmouth Rail way to Portsmouth. At the earnest recommendation of some of the principal land 4,viners, branches are proposed to be made to Godalming and Peters field. The branch to Godalming will be from a point in the main line between Plaistow and 'North Chapel; and the branch from Petersfleld will join the main line at a point between itlidhurst and !lepton. These extensions of this undertaking have rendered an in crease necessary in the amount of the capital originally fixed on ; !nit from the increased accommodation which these branches will ,afford, the promoters of the undertaking feel coini lent that a com mensurate profit will result to the shareholder. A branch is proposed to be made from Dorking to join the main line at or near Capel. r. , this course the entire distance to travel betwcep. London and Portsmouth will be abridged to 73 miles, a distance considerably shorter than that by which any line hitherto projected bctweer London and Port-mouth has proposed to pass, and also pursuing a route more populous and productive than any hitherto presented to public notice. It will Involve the construction of only 45 miles of railway to complete the coarse between the Redhill station (near Reigate) and Emsworth. From Lo:idon to Reigate by the London and Brighton 21 miles. Railroad is . The junction to be made by this Company is •••••• • • • • • • 45 „ From the point near Emsworth to Portsmouth by the Chichester and Portsmouth Railway is 7 „ Total distance from London to Portsmouth • • • • • 73 miles. From Chilgrove a line of seven miles will be constructed, and which will place Chichester In direct communication with London. The distance between Chichester and London by this route will be 62 miles. Trains will run direct between London and Chichester, without stopping at Chllgrove. Inasmuch as the existing line of railway to Dover branches off from the London and Brighton Railroad at Reigate, this projected line will open up a communication by railroad between Portsmouth and Dover. From an inspection of the map, it will be seen that the Redhill station, near Reigate, lies nearly in a direct line between Ports mouth and Chatham, and in pursuing the line of communication to the last-mentioned naval and military depot, this line will pass through or near to the towns of Bletchingley, Godston, Limpsfield, Westerham, Seven Oaks, Tcrlithani ' Town Malting, Wrotham, Off ham, Snocliend, Lower Halting, and Weuldliam. The distance between Chatham and Reigate will involve the making of 31 miles of railroad, and the line of railroad between Portsmouth and Chatham will extend over 82 miles. To the naval and military establishments of this kingdom the construction of this projected line will afford the most important fa cilities in the transit of troops, stores, baggage, &c. &c., diminishing the tardy course of communication which at present necessarily exists between Portsmouth and Chatham, at present usually extend ing over the space of two days, and placing them hi that direct com munication with each other which, in two hours, er thereabout, will enable the journey between them to be made. The formation of a direct , line of railway between Portsmouth and Chatham will afford the opportunity of establishing, by the electric telegraph, that celerity of communication so important to be obtained between places of national importance. The warm support of the principal landowners en the greater part of the line is pledged to this undertaking. The Previsional Committee abstain from making any special re ference to the contemplated profit to result from carrying into effect this u;idertaking, feeling convinced that the extent et traffic through the po r mots and rich districts over which this line and its branches ittnruetiilty of all e riojectenfo,,!), rn ass en is t i s n u t tli b c a i t e r n e t s ly pec k t irwn, and is decisive of the Applications for the shares, in the form given below, to be made to the soticito. - s and Local Agents, or to any of the f o ll o wing Brokers :—licessrs.

Harts, Esq, • This railway is proposed to commence at Uxbridge, proceeding thence to the Southall station of the Great Western Railway, and then 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. To the inhabitants of the important town of Uxbridge, this line presents the most direct communication with the metropolis, adopt ing the old course taken by the coaches, viz., through Hillingdon, Hayes, Southall, ?cc., contrasting favourably with the present cir cuitous route to London, by coach or omnibus to West Drayton, and thence by the Croat Western Railway. With the present limited railway accommodation, the corn returns of Uxbridge show an in crease of 30 per cent. upon the average of the last two years. The weekly market at Southall is second in importance to Smitk field, anA it is attended by the graziers and butchers from all parts of the neighbouring country and the metropolis. Ily means of this line, anti one of the proposed lines from London to Hounslow, which this will intersect, Brentford, the county-town of Middlesex, and the Thames, will be brought into immediate con nexion with Uxbridge; the traffic between the last-named towns hat hitherto materially helped to produce the large dividends of the Grand Junction Canal. By means also of this line, and the Croydon and Epsem line (now in course of construction), all the before-ntentioued towns and places are likewise connected with Croydon. . The importance of connecting two such towns as Uxbridge and Brcutford 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 the communication now proposed is not only judicious, but, in order to satisfy the requirements of the important and populous district involved, is actually imperative. It will afford to Uxbridge and the towns in Hertfordshire north of it, with wh!ch it will be connected by proposed new lines, direct transit to the Great Western, Southampton, and Portsmouth Railways, and by the established lines, ' southward, to Shoreham, Brighton, Dover, Ramsgate, and all the south and south-eastern parts of th kingdom, avoiding the loss of time and great inconvenience of going ronn'l by the metropolis. So also as to Brentford, Hounslow, King ston, and Epsom—it will afford to them access to the Great Western, London and Birmingham. and Northern and Eastern lines; and by this line, in connexion with one proposed to Hounslow from the me tropolis, and the other proposc and established lines north and south of it, easy access will be afforded to Hampton-court, Epsom, and other favourite places of resort. There can be no doubt, therefore, that the passenger traffic alone will be sufficient to pay a very large dividend on the outlay. The average number of persens visiting Hampton-court in the summer months amounts to about 18.000 per week. The supply by the county of Kent and western division of Middle sex of the north and north-western markets with trait during the season, would, by this line, be immensely increased, and form another source of income to the Company. 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 capabk 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. Watts;Galsworthy, and Galsworthv, to whom also all communications from parties locally interested should be addressed, at their offices, No. 19, Ely-place, Holborn ; also to the lbllowing local solicitors, Henry Norton, Esq., Uxbridge ; C.

Rees Mogg, Cholwell, near Bristol PABLIAMENTARY AGENT —Cadwallader F. Waddy, Esq. SEGRETARY—CharIes 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 ellected 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, by means of the Bristol and Birmingham Beltway, with Gloucester, Worcester, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and the north of England. From its proximity to the Continent, the port of Dover will always he 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 be regarded as a great national advantage. Dover is at present the chief port of embarkaVon for Calais, Boulogne, Ostend, and other continental towns, and the vast numbers already resorting there both on business and pleasure, will be hn 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 thorn of 1,500,0001., it cannot fall of becoming a place of the greatest resort for the shipping and commercial interests of the count try, a 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 pre motels 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 ipon the narrow gauge between the south-eustent coast, and Bristol and the western, northern, and mid land counties. The lbw will commence at the terminus of the South-Eastern Rail way at Reigate, proceed thence by Dorking, Godalming, Farnham, and Odiham to the Basings.oke 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 Somersetshire coal-Held, 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 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, 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 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 west, the present line will connect Dover towards the south, wi th 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, else with Shrewsbury, Chester, and Hely - head, and in fact with the whole of North and South Wales. At Basingstoke, also, this lino w;11 join the proposed London, Salis bury, and Yeovil Railway, and throw open to Dover and the south eastern counties the populous a;:d 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 or Cornwall. To Devizes, Trowbridge, Bradford, and Bath, and the other towns in the vicinity of its course, the bmetit which this line wil confer emriot :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 Dover and the Downs, pro viding a perfect Tina 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 immerable 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 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 to Basingstoke, the Box Tunnel mill be avoided, and a new and independent 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 petulantly of all the advantages of the proposed central station at Hungerford-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 perative necessity. A reserve of shares will be made for landowners on the line, and he 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 Ix! considered aavantagcous to the shareholders. ..... The capital proposed to be raised is 1,500,000/., 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 4/. per cent. per annum, upon all deposits and subscriptions until the opening of the line, nnd 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' greement and the Parliamentary Contract will be ready for execution, and the scrip issued immediately upon pay- tent of the deposits.

The establishment of the above railway will effect two great and important objects :—first, the supply of the metropolis and its vicinity with coal fully twenty per cent. cheaper than by the pre sent mode of transit : secondly, by the exclusion of passenger traffic to diminish the risk of accidents. The Bosrd of Trade, in reference to the latter, have in their report upon the subject, laid great stress on the importance of separating the passenger from goods trains ; and the Select Committee on the Coal Trade recommend that every means of promoting a new supply of coal should be encouraged. The existing lines from the north being already crowded to excess with trains of every class, travelling at velocities varying front fifteen to fifty miles per hour, and new railways being almost daily projected as feeders to the great trunk lines, the already prodigious traffic on those lines must be still further augmented; so that it may be truly assumed, that the addition thereto of several millions of tons of coals and goods is out of the question. It, therefore, becomes manifestly necessary, with a view to public convenience, and to supply the metropolis and the intermediate districts with coals from the coal fields in the north (from which at present the greater proportion is supplied) that an independent railway, devoted exclusively to the conveyance of coals and goods at a moderate and regular speed, should be constructed from Newcastle to Lunden. It is, therefore, intended to confine this railway to carriage of coals and goods only ; and it is mc,rtained that the conveyance by railway of large quantities, for loeg distances, at a moderate speed, and at comparatively low rates, will be as profitable as the carriage of passengers at a greater velocity, The actual ex perienc e of the London and Birmingham Railway affords a safe ground for calculation; the expenses on that line for the year 1544 being 1,4721. p mile; at the same rate per mile, 2,000,000 tons of coal annually may be cr rought the entire distance from Newcastle; this quantity is about one-half of the present importation from London, making on the average from 13,000 to 14,000 tons daily. The extreme fluctuations to which the price of coal is subject from irregularity in the supply, dependent as it is on the uncer tainty of the winds and weather, has hitherto operated against the estabishment of manufactories on the banks of the Thames, From the same cause, also, London has, at times narrowly escaped total darkness, the gas works not being able to obtain their regular supply of coals. In the course of the last five years the prices of household coal, on the Coal Exchange, have fluctuated between 14s. Gd. to 275. per ton, and last winter the price rose even to 355. per ton ; the high prices always occurring at a season when the scarcity, and consequently increased price of coal, is most distress ' ing to the poor. The removal of the colliers from the Pool is an important con ' sideration, as it will necessarily render the navigation of the Thames safer for all other vessels: and it is no valid objection to this undertaking, that it will supersede, in a great measure the employment of collier ships, because it is now ascertained, be. yond ad doubt, that coals can be brought to London by railway at 20 per cent less than those sea-borne ; and, therefore, London mill be supplied from Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and South Wales, unless the present project, or one offering equal advantages to the northern coal-owners, in their certain and fast approaching compe!ition with the Infant collieries, be carried into effect. In addition to the through traffic, accommodation will be afforded to the intermediate districts for the conveyance of coals and goods, which will materially increase the revenue of the Company. The estimated cost of the line is 5,000,0001, and the traffic, in coals alone, will give a net return of 10 per cent. It is proposed to raise the required capital in 200,000 shares of 251. each ; deposit 21. 12s. ed, per share, the subsequent calls to be made in the usual way. The customary clauses will be inserted in the Act, limiting the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their respective shares. Interest, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum will be allowed on all calls between the passing of the Act and the opening of tha railway, Prospectuses, with fuller information and in detail, together with Forms of Application, may be obtained on applying to the Solicitors of the Company, Messrs.
