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 ofhladdleworth. In its course, it will pass through or near to Matlock, Ashhournc, Glos sop, Mottram, Ilyfield, and Duckenfield, in reaching which point, the Manchester 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 stato 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 trunk line, from the Junction with the East Lancashire line near Hasltngden, 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 is mineral produce. It wbl communicat!, laterahv. with several tr..7ik lines o:*railway, and will be fed by no less than five working canals— the Cromford—the Manchester and Sit:al-id—the Iluddersfield—the Manchester and Leeds—and the Liverpool and Blackburn. To the multiplication of advantales which intersecting railways and lines of still-water navigation are compelled to afford, the throw ing out of branches from the line itself hi so many directions will add still further powers of accommodation, and, when the dense popula tion in the localities traversed is considered, there is every reason to conclude that an ample remuneration for vested capital will be ob tained. uy folloWing the connect rivers, 1411014 in fist instance, fall in .£395 Il 1 346 2 3 296 13 4 247 4 5 le in De- ss s, 10 11 , f.l -•,,„, IF ;•:—. ..tot ‘)..„, A. • X ... 4„, ];ey ~A, 4 .:‘.

While the return for crpital 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 Le 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 tuest upon all calls.

The object of this rAway is to _afford to the inhabitants residing within a circle of about ten in les.south of the Thames the means of a safe, ftequent, and s:Tody communication with the heart of the City. It is proposed to hate a central terminus in Queen-street, Cheap side, with a direct line of railway over Southwark-bridge to the Ele phant and Castle, and thence by radiating• branches to accommodate the localities of Kennington, Brixton, Streatham, Croydon, Clap ham, Balhani, 'footing, Mitcham, Walworth, Cathberwell, Peckham, Dulwich, Norwood, the Kent-road, Deptford, Greenwich, Black heath, Charlton, Woolwich, Wandsworth, Putney, Mbrtlake, ant Blanton 7, completing the chain of.Conunnnicat on with the South- Western at Wandsworth, and with the London and Brighton and South-Eastern Lice at Croydon. It is needless to point out in this preliminary announcement the enormous passenger traffic which may be expected on this railway, when it is considered that the portion of the suburbs to which uc conuriodation 13 to tie afthided contain a population of between seven and eight hundred thousand persons, requiring daily inter course with the City. . - - As this lin , : will be constructed upon the atmospheric principle, and the present public roads will be adopted as far as practicable, the cost will not bear comparison with that of railways in general, and it is estimated that it will p to the sh,reholders of the under taki,ig a remunerating profit of not less . than 10 per cent., even reckoning the conveyance of passengers at the low rates of from 3d. to 6d. for the whole, or any part of the distance, to say nothing of the enormous traffic in parcels awl gcods.

This line will pass in a direct course from Tunbridge, via Paddock Wood (thus connecting itself with Maidstone) through the parishes of Brenchley, Horsmonden, Goudhurst, Cranbrook, Benenden, Hawkhurst, Sandhurst, Rolvenden, Newenden, Northiam, Peas match, Beckley, Iden, and I'layden, to the town and harbour of Rye, and it will embrace a lar, e extent of adjacent country, at pre sent unprovided with, and much requiring, the admitted advantages of railway transit. The length of the line will be about 25 miles—a great portion of it will pass through a level country, and the remaining part is free from any material engineering difficulty, or works likely to require any serious outlay, and it is not expected to be necessary to interfere with any residences or oniamental property. The saving of distance to Rye, and all the other places embraced by this line,will be considerable. The capital required is estimated not to exceed 500,000/. During the last session of Parliament application was made for a similar liue, partially embracing the same country, when it was Fltown in detail by evidence produced before the Committee, that the contemplated traffic, after deducting 40/. per cent. for working ex penses, would leave a large per centage upon the invested capital. That line was rejected on the ground that the best direction had not been selected, but with an intimation that the port of Rye was en titled to a direct railway communication with the interior of the coutary, in the best direction towards London. The present scheme hes been based upon this intimation, taking advantage of the merits and defects which appeared upon that investigation, and as it em braces a more ropulous and productive country, and passes in a more direct line to London, and will have the benefit of better access to other nail more numerous lines, the sources of traffic are consider ably hicreased, and there is every reason to believe, from what passed during the last session, that the present plan will be favourably enter tained by the Legislature. The chief object is to open the port of Rye to the full benefit of a railway communication, through a populous and productive district, in the direction of London, to the best point at which It can avail itself of the existing and contemplated lines. The imports of Rye, particularly coals, with lime and other ma nures, are of great importi.nce to the country through which this line will pass, and a cheaper and better mode of transit will much increase the demand for them, and give the opprirtunity of great improvement in the caltivation of the adjacent country. A railway through the liNirt of the chief hop district of the king dom, also producing corn, timber, and hop poles, and communicating at its terminus with a great part of the important cattle district of Romney Marsh, must be a public advantage. The port of Rye is admitted to be the best outlet and quickest route to Paris and to other parts of the Continent, and there can be no doubt if a direct railway should be made to Rye, with a moderate improve ment in the harbour, that it would be much adopted, particularly as a national and commercial communication with France, and by per sons travelling on business.

Numerous projected lines now before the public will make Oxford at the north, and Salisbury at the south of the intended railroad, central points from which various radii will diverge to the north-west, north, and north-east of the former, and to the south and west of the latter ; and the proposed line front Cambridge to Oxford, continuing to that city the course of railway front the north-eastern parts of the island, requires of the appliance appliance now suggested to effec t a com p lete means of transit to the western and south-western counties. tion roduce the The Oxford and Salisbury Direc t Railway, in addition to the benefits which will be co nferred upon the nation at large, by perfecting a direct line of commun cation be tween the north-eastern an d western and south-western parts of England, will afford to the la:moult of Abingdon, the market towns of Wantag e, Ilungerford, and Ludgershall, an d the adjacent villages, an imp ortant railway accommodation, of which the agricultural districts in which they are Seated stand in much n p e v e e f e l , u antheprovide ufaacfatuciiilintyg, kingdom. The projected lin e will bring the Cathedral Cit y of S a lis - f u o u r d th e e m iteeb rural, ie r rei a a n i g vu e pula p bury into immediate connexion with the City and University of Oxford, combining also the advantage of a direct communication with the sister University of Cambridge ; thus strengthening the ecclesiastical and academical relations of the whole, whilst the com mercial prosperity of the two terminal cities must of necessity be essentially enhanced. The want of railway accommodation has long been felt to press unfairly upon the inhabitants of the important and thriving tow n o f Abingdon. Their means and opportunities of competing w i t h the more fortunate traders of these towns which are already p, ovided with di rect channels of transit, are thus severe' v crippled. The same remark applies in some degree to the market town of Wantage, witfeh, as well as Hungerford and Ludgehall, claims a share of th e profits and advantages pro duced by rarilsway traffic. It has therefore been determined to commence the proposed line at Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdon to the station of the Great Western Railway at Steventon, th u s giving to Abingdon a direct rail road to London. By continuing the projected railway :o Wantage, the same facility of transit to London will be afforded to that plue ; and a perfect line of road front the north-eastern counties will, by a junc tion with the projection from Cambridge to Oxford, be produced, through the towns which have been lamed, flungerford and Lodgers. hall, to Salisbury, and thence to the south and western ports and dis tricts.

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.

Th e importance 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 1 is extensive, is too obvious to require comment. A glance at th e 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 which it will be connected by proposed new lines, direct transit to the Great Western, Southampton, and P or t smout h Railways, and by the established lines, southward,. to Shoreham, Brighton, Dover, Ramsgate, and all the south and south-eastern parte of the Offices of the Company, No. 34, Aloorgate-street. PROSPECTUS. Commencing at Cambridge, which has now become the traffic centre of the Eastern Counties, by the line of railway intended to Le formed by that Company, this line will proceed to Bedford, there passing near Olney it will cross at or near the Blisworth Station of the London and Birmingham Railway, where it will communicate with the Nortkimpton a:ad_ Peter borough line; it will then proceed west rrossin the Oxford and Rugby line at or near Fenny-Compion to Stratioril , •on-Avon, there joining the proposed line from Warwick' and Leamington to Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the West of England; continuing it, course through Alcester, the line will go di rect to Worcester, and thus terminate at the great centre of traffic for the mineral and manufacturing; districts of South Staffordshire, Shropshire, and North and South Wales. This proposed line dues not interfere with any existing railways, and presenting, as it does, ' an unbroken line between two great centres of traffic, the importance of the undertaking needs no further comment. Negotiations have been entered into with the Eastern Coun ties Railway Company, by . which their support and co-operation will be ensured for obtaining the line now proposed. An arrangement has also been made with the proposed Rugby, Warwick, and Worcester Company, which this line will join at Al cester, and by means ofWhich the Eastern Counties' traffic will pro ceed to Worcester. Power will be reserved to the Directors to amalgamate with any other existing or projecting Companies, or to vary the line.

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 ea persons visiting Hampton-court in the • summer months amounts to about 18,000 per week. The supply by the eonnty of Kent and western division of Middle sex of the north and north-western markets with fruit during the season, would, by this line, be immensely Increased, and fbrin 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 capable of construction at about 16,0001. per mile ; and the land owners on the line who have been, seen, are favourable to the un dertaking.
