Remington, Esq., C.E. The line of Railway prnposed between Uttoxeter and Dudley has been undertaken at the suggestion of several influential parties, as combining (without being a competing line with any railway at pre sent mule) all the advantages of several projected lines, with addi tions of no ordinary value. The town of Uttoxeter, in the Dove Val ley, is itself the centre of a rich agricultural district, supplying al ready the markets of Dudley, Tipton, Walsall, Mist m, and Wednes bury, with cheese, cattle, and agricultural produce, but by a very expensive and dilatory mode of transit. All the proposed lines communicating with Manchester, London, and the Potteries, must necessarily. pass to or near Uttoxeter. Already the Chur net Valley, Derby and Stafford, Derby and Crewe, Term, and Dove Valley, North Staffordshire, Manchester Direct Inde pendent, Leicester anti Ashby lines of railway, project a station at Uttoxeter. Assuming either of these former, or some equivalent, to pass this will be the best route. from Manchester, Macclesfield, the Potteries, Hull, Sheffield, and the north to the mineral districts of South Staffordshire, and to Kidderminster, Woi tester, and South Wales. By the Leicester and Ashby line, which will communicate by its branch to Uttoxeter, traffic of great part of the east of England will be available for Staffordshire and the west. Commencing at Uttoxeter, the line will be carried over favourable ground to Abbott's Bromley, thence to Rugeley, where it will fall into the Trent Valley Railway Station, by Channock Chase, along the Rising Brok Valley, to Hednesford, and thence by Walsall across the Grand Junction Railway, through Wednesbury and the mineral districts of South Staffordshire to Dudley ; there it will join all those railways that will connect the Staffordshire coal field with Worcester, Ludlow, and Porthdynllaen on the south-west, Aberystwith, Merthyr Tydvil, Swansea, Hereford, on the west and south. In fact, it will unite by the nearest route the east and west of England. The line will fall into and cross the Trent Valley, Midlands, and .GraiidJunction Railway at Walsall, and from Cannock afford direct comMuniehtion with Wolverhampton - (where it will run into the broad gauge railway) from Leeds, and Huddersfield, and the north and east of England. The population on the line exceeds 300,000, and the ordinary traffic arising from internal sources alone is sufficient to maintain the rail way, and afford more than ample remuneration to the shareholders. As a junction line (with the present immensely increasing public favour to railway travelling) it is scarcely possible to compute the amount of passenger traffic, but it must necessarily be very great. Since this line was registered, a company has been formed for ex tending it by a junction at Uttoxeter, to Huddersfield, Leeds, and Sheffield, by way of Ashbourn, and by this means immense mines of lead, iron, stone, and coal of Derbyshire, the products of the paint manufactories and barytes works at Ashbourne, Cromford, &c., will be opened, and with those already in work, find a ready transit to Walsall and Birmingham, Dudley, and Wolverhampton. The in crease of passengers, attracted by ready means of conveyance to the romantic country of Dovedale, and the High Peak, will be necessarily very great. The copper, ore, lime, and coal, abounding in the Caldon and the Ribden mines, will be transmitted by this line to the manufacturing districts of Staffordshire, Warwickshire, and South Wales, and it will afford a direct communication between Leeds, Huddersfield, and Southampton, and it will also be the nearest route to Southampton from Manchester, via Uttoxeter, by the London and Manchester Direct Independent Line, or whatever railway should ultimately pass between Manchester and London, as forming the shortest route to the metropolis, a line which, it is now admitted on all hands, must be carried. This Company reserves the right to raise additional capital to com plete the line froth Dudley to or near the Droltwieb station, on the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway. .

Macgregor, Esq., 26, Suffolk-street, Pall-mall, London, This important line of railway is forty-two miles in length ; wlil commence at the railway station of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wol verhampton Railway at Kidderminster, and will proceed from thence by way of Tenbury and Leominster to Hereford, where it will join the Hereford and -Monmouth, and all the other lines of railway which converge from. Hereford, and run into the West of England, and the immensely populous coal, iron, and copper districts of South Wales, and the important districts of Central Wales. The intended railway will, by means of its connexion with the Derbyshire, Worcestershire, and Staffordshire Junction, and that portion of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton which runs from Dudley to Kidderminster, complete the great chain of railway communication between the clothing districts of Yorkshire, the coal and iron ore districts of Derbyshire and Staffordshire, and the large mineral 'districts of South Wales. At Tenbury it will form a junc tion with the 'Worcester end Porthddynllaen intended railway, and will be the only means of enabling Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Wednesbury, Walsall, Coventry, Dudley, Stourbridge, and the other surrounding towns to avail themselves of the great outlet from Eng land to Ireland by means of Porthddynllaen, the future outport for Ireland. It will likewise form the nearest route to the north of England, Manchester, and Liverpool from South Wales, and be a direct line from the centre of Wales into the Midland Counties. Thus the coals and other minerals, and the exclusive and constantly increasing iron works of Staffordshire, Worcestershire, and Derbyshire, the manu factures of Lancashire and Yorkshire, the saltworks of Cheshire and Worcestershire, and the agricultural produce of Wales, Hereford shire, South Shropshire, will have a direct and cheap transit. This railway is essential to complete the direct East and West traffic. The traffic of the populous districts embraced by the under taking will afford sufficient remuneration to the Shareholders, and a vast augmentation of revenue which will arise from the through traf fic, will make the stock of the Company produce nine per cent. So convinced was an important Railway Company of the great traffic which would run upon this line, that they bought up the pro moters of a Similar undertaking at a considerable expense. The line is free from engineering difficulties, and gradients highly favourable. The Directors reserve the power of adopting the atmo speric principle and wide gauge, if approved of. The preference will be given in the allotment of Shares to persons locally interested in the line, and no Shares will be appropriated except to persons who shall give satisfactory references. Applications for shares must be made to the Solicitors of the Com pany, or to Messrs. Owens and Greene, solicitors, Newtown, Mont gomeryshire ; to Mr. Cancellor, sharebroker, Cushion-court ; and to Messrs. Preece and Evans. 39, Lothbury, London. /1111 - LEEDS, HUDDERSFIELD, SHEF- A.

This line accomplishes everything proposed by the Manchester and Southampton Railway Company in an equally full and complete manner. It is quite as short between the termini. It requires less line to be made, as it uses twenty-three miles mor• of existing lines, thereby ensuring support instead of opposition. It passes through a more cultivated and much more thickly inha bited district, embracing the important city of Salisbury.

Sharp and Harrison, Southampton SECRETART--JoIM Dunlop, Esq. The great importance and increasing prosperity of the port of Southampton requires that more extensive railway accommodation should be at once provided. According to the'evidence:lately given before Parliament by Mr. Ed wards, the Collector Of Customs at that port, the exports have more than quadrupled during the last three years, and he expressed his conviction, that if a more direct communication with the manufac turing districts was made, the exports would increase to no less a sum than ten millions the first year afterwards. All the steamers from England to Jersey, and the Channel Islands, to Portugal, Gibraltar, the Mediterranean, Malta, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, and the East and West Indies, now depart from and arrive at Southampton. It is also the most direct and shortest course to Paris througk Havre. Large quantities of goods are now brought to it from Manchester and the manufacturing districts for export, which would be greatly increased if the means of transit were easier and less expensive, and the supply of clothing and naval stores from Yorkshire, Lancashire, and Staffordshire, to her Majesty's dockyards, and victualling stores at Portsmouth and Gosport, in addition to the export trade, is neces sarily very great, so that it is clear, that a more direct railway com munication from the manufacturing districts to Southampton, Gos port, and Portsmouth, is absolutely necessary. The passing of the Oxford and Rugby, the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Acts this session, has afforded the facilities of effect ing this communication in the most direct course. By making the railway, which will now be constructed by this Company, from Didcot, on the Great Western Railway, where the Oxford Line terminates, through Newbury, to the Southamp ton and Gosport Railway, near the Andover Road station, a distance of only thirty miles, the most direct and the shortest commu nication will be formed from all parts of the north of England and the manufacturing districts, to Southampton, Gosport, and Ports mouth. - The line goes through a favourable country, and will be made at little cost. The traffic on it, wholly irrespective of that from Man chester and the north, will be very large. A communication from Newbury to a port is much wanted, so that the large quantities of corn brought to that market may be exported along the coast. A quick transit from Oxford to Winchester, to. Southampton and France, and to the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth, will be secured. From Oxford railways are about to be made to Cambridge, Peter borough, and Lincoln, and to Rugby, there joining the Midland and York Railways; by this means affording the most direct and shortest road to Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Lincolnshire, Sheffield, the large cloth districts of Yorkshire, and to York and Scotland. The whole of this traffic, together with the carriage of the cutlery and plated goods of Sheffield, and the cloth goods of Yorkshire, must belong exclusively to this line, and It is quite sufficient of itself to maintain it, and to secure for it a large share of support, even if it had no further claims on public attention ; but when reference is made to the map, it will be seen that, from the Oxford and Rugby Railway,. near Banbury' another railway will proceed to Birmingham, which brings that most important town several miles nearer to the port of Southampton than by the route proposed by other parties through Cheltenham. Again, from Rugby the Trent Valley and North Staffordshire Railway will carry the traffic on to Manchester, by Which route the distance to Manchester from Southampton is considerably less than by the same route round Cheltenham, and will be further reduced by the Rugby and Mucks field line when made ; and as the goods coming by this line to South ampton will, for the greater part of the distance, travel over rail ways possessing a very large traffic of their own, and which can afford to carry this extra traffic at very much lower rates than a new company, whioh depends for its support entirely on such traffic, can possibly do, they will be brought much cheaper by this line, than by any line which can be made between Southampton and Cheltenham. But it is of the most vital importance to the town of Southampton that this communication with the manufacturing districts should be completed in the least pach e po ta ss a i i b a l y e thiemsee,cianredordtear that t t tke rt c . onti T t hi m a aneeof the foreign steam hall way will be made and open ed in twelve months after the p assin g of tlie Bill, 1. e., the Ist of September , 1847, w hereas the line, via chel tenham, cannot be finished in less than three years. The Railways from Yeovil and Dorsetshire, and parts to the west ward, will join this line near Whitchurch, and bring great portion Of the traffic from the west over this line to Oxford and the places beyond it. A s to the gauge there will be no difficulty. The Commission now sitting will decide that. and there is not the least doubt, but that goods will be brought from Manchester, Birmingham, &c., in the same truck, and without any shifting throughout and ugho to utth o e os w po l r io tl e line to the ship's side in the docks at Southampton Applications for detailed prospectus, maps, and shares, may be made to the Secretary, at the office, 78, Xing William-street, City, London.

Steps were taken about three months past for the formation of this Company, and applications were received for a large number Of Shares ; but before proceeding to an allotment, the Committee and the Projector deemed it advisable to have direct information from Jamaica on subjects connected with the line—the probable cost ofthe land through which it would pass—the engineering difficulties, if any —and other matters connected with the line. They have received this information and set it forth herewith. The Provisional Directors have now determined to bring the Com pany forward, and to extend the line as far as Annotta Bay : lbw principal towns to be thus connected arc Montego Bay with Falmouth ....distance 20 Miles. Falmouth Bueno 15 Rio Bueno Dry Harbour 5 Dry Harbour Sr. Ann's Bay 17 • St. Ann's Bay— Port Maria • . 18 Port Maria Annotta Bay .. 9 84 Miles. At the latter place it will join the line intended to be formed to Kingston, and thus unite the most populous and rich districts of the North with the South by a junction with the Jamaica Junction and. South Midland Line, and the capital and shipping port of Kingston. and afford a quick and eheap mode of transit for passengers anti goods; anti, at the same tune, will supply the means of a daily com munication by post, instead of a weekly one, under the present sys tem; and whilst these facilities will be offered, it bids fair to prove highly beneficial to the Shareholders: for when it is considered that the existing difficulties of approach from one town to another (n 44, mail or stage coaches running), and also the badness of many of the harbours and inlets, are such as to retard the shipment of the pro duce of the soil and merchandize ; it may be fair to presume that a large portion of it will find its way to anti from Kingston for Sale or shipment. This Company is formed to obviate these difficulties, and to offer this Lheap and certain ine;us of conveying passen gers and goods, and to open a more generall i ommunication, and thus promote the inte rest of the landowner, the planter, the Ngriculturist, the merchant, and all other classes of person and the very valuable island 111 general. The Directors are authorised to state that they anticipate every support and patronage from the Governor and Legislature of the island; and they wish to establish a perfect understanding be tween this and the other companies aiready formed, and, with this view, they offer to give a preference of shares, to the extent of one share for every two, held in the original Kingston and Spanish Tt.wn Line, and the like proportion ta,i►e holders of shares in the Jamaica Junction and South Midland I incs, provided they apply for them oa or before the 29th instant. • A reserve of shares will be made for persons resident in Jamaica.

Green, Esq., Walsall This line of railway, which is about sixty-five miles in length, is intended to commence at Uttoxeter (the terminus of the proposed Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Worcestershire Junction Railway) and to proceed to Sheffield and Huddersfield. It will form a direct com munication between two of the most important manufacturing and mining districts in England, viz., South Staffordshire and Sheffield, and Rotherham in Yorkshire ; the South Staffordshire portion in cluding Dudley, Tipton, Walsall, Bilston, Wednesbury, and Wolver hampton.. This line will also open a direct railway communication between Leeds, Huddersfield, and the West Riding of Yorkshire and Kidder minster, Worcestershire, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, Taunton, and Exeter, and with Ludlow, Leominster, Hereford, Brecon, Car diff, Neath, Swansea, Llanelly, Caermarthen, Milford Haven, Fish guard, Aberystwith, and with Porthdynllaen, the future outport for Ireland. And also the most direct communication between Leeds and Southampton. The line will pass nearly along the Uttoxeter and Caldon Canal to a point near Prestwood, in case the canal be purchased by the pro motets of this ulidertaking. It will proceed through Ellaston and Mayfield to Ashbourne, thence near Dovedale, Buxton, and Chapel en-la-Frith, Woodhead and Holinfirth to Huddersfield, where it will join tee Huddersfield and Leeds Railway, and so to Thirsk. It will open new mines, in addition to those already in work, of lead, coal, iron ore, barytes, and carboniferous and rnagnesian limestone on the , route, in addition to forming a direct, speedy, and cheap communica tion between the important towns above mentioned. Arrangements have been made with other companies to run into this line from Sheffield. This company reserves the right to raise additional capital to extend the line to Leeds. Many of the above-mentioned mineral productions are essential to the mining districts of South Staffordshire and Sheffield. The North Staffordshire and Derbyshire Limestone is much superior to that of South Staffordshire in the fluxion of iron (15 cwt. of the former being equal to a ton of the latter), and producing a better quality of ma terial. At present, the mode of transit is very circuitous and expen sive, the line from the Caldon Mines having to go by canal round by Etruria, Leek, and the Potteries, to the Dudley and surrounding furnaces, when, by this railway, it would be taken in a straight line to them ; and the Ashbourne, Cromford, Worksworth, and Bakewell country would have an entirely new trade opened to them. The ironstone in the neighbourhood of, Sheffield is also becoming very .scarce, and great quantities are introduced from Scotland; the same searcjtj, exists in South Staffordshire; and the route of this line would furnislia god supply, at present not worked, and without a market, both north and south. In addition to these great advan tages, a. good local market would be opened along the agricultural and other parts of the district at present very badly supplied with lime and coal, and that of an inferior quality, and by expensive car riage; 'lt is, therefore, next to impossible to calculate the immense 'traffic which would pour down this line and the Derbyshire, Stafford shire, asd Worcestershire Junction Railway. The calculations which have been made show a very large profit. There are large lead and slate quarries on the line which only want an outlet like the one now contemplated to bring them into full work. The coal is of a superior quality. There are also extensive barytes and paint-works at Ashbourne, Cromford, and other places on the line. Tile scenery of Derbyshire is the resort of vast numbers of tourists ; and particular care will be taken, in passing of the line near Dovedale, not to interfere 'with or change its beautiful and romantic character. The convenience, therefore, which this line will afford must necessarily cause a great influx of passengers, both on business and pleasure. Ironstone is not so abundant in the South, as in North Stafford shire, and vast quantities are sent by the tardy, circuitous, and ex pensive canal company, which this and other lines of railway meet ing at Uttoxeter will remedy. The gypsum formation runs from Staffordshire to the llumbcr,and the demand for this article for building, agricultural, and manufac turing purposes along this line will be great. The timber from the neighbourhood of the Needwood Forest, Banks, Bagots Woods, and Kingston Woods, upwards of 4,000 acres, chiefly finds its way to the Manchester market by a like objection able route; whereas this line would open a direct, easy, And cheap coalmunlcation to new markets. The line has been viewed prior to a detailed survey, and there are not more than ordinary engineering difficulties. In consequence of the bite Parliamentary decisions, it is intended to make this line on the broad gauge principle, but the pro moters de not Nada themselves absolutely to do so.

Carlton Chambers, Regent-street 1 The object of this Company is to establish a railway from London to Exeter direct, through Salisbury and other considerable towns, hither to deprived of that great improvement of the age. The most impor tant feature, however, of this undertaking will be, that it will establish an uninterrupted, direct, and seeedy communication between the me tropolisand thus form an immediate trans!;, to the extreme part of the west and our largest maritime ports—Plymouth a n d F a l mout h , of England. To the shipping interest, both at home and abroad, this facility will be of the utmost importance, and if war should unfortu nately arise, the advantages of such a line are evident. The Committee feel the import/thee of the duty imposed upon them, and rely with confidence on the success of the undertaking, possessing, as It does, the strongest claims for support, whether as a pertnanent and judicious investment of capital, or as a great national undertaking. It is not intended to comment on the various railway schemes partially affecting the line the Committee propose should be adopted, further than to observe, that none of them have been based upon a sufficiently comprehensive view to afford " a direct organic communication" with the metropolis : and it is apparent that an en tire line, under the management of one Company, is far preferable to any other communicati on now available or projected. This line of railway is offered to the p u bli c as affording not only an independent and direct intercourse betw een the metropolis, Exeter, and the va rious important towns upon it, but will effect a saving of thirty miles and upwards, in the circuitous and expensive route by Bristol. The opinion of Sir Robert Peel is particularly applicable to -this project—that the tendency of the improvements which are almost daily intr, duced, was decidedl y in favour of the shortest and most direct lines ; and it is deservi ng of remark, that when the Wilts and Somerset Railway Bill (which h as l ately received the royal sanct i on) was before Parliament, its pr o j • etors were required to pledge them selves that they should not off er hereafter any impediment to a direct line to Falmouth, being precisely such an undertaking as the one now proposed, thereby proving the• importance attached by Parliament to direct communications, and the London and York having obtained the consent of .he House of Commons to their Bill, after a prolonged opposition, sho les the weight attached to direct independent railways. It is proposed that this railway shall take its course between the Great Western and the So uth - Western, as far as Kingsclere—though it will not in any way interfere with those lines—and is the course actually suggested by the Board of Trade in its Fourth Report, sec. 42, by which an opening Was made in this very line, stating that there is nothing in the present* se t t l ement of existing railways t o prevent a shorter or competin g li ne to Exeter being brought forward. The Direct London and Ex e t er Company intend to form their ter minus in the most central par'. of London which can be obtained. It will be in the immediate vicinity o f Sloane-street and Knightsbridge. It is also intended that this Company, shall join the railway projected to cross the Thames, and thus eff ec t an immediate connexion with a t e h t e 'd L nu on s daotnlitnenrgmer4r:ebr!dge. the line will branch off to or near Hammersmith, rn .rni t ers ?nab, T urnhain-green, Brentford, Isleworth, Hounslow, Staines, Egliam, Bagshot, Ascot, Bracknell, Bintield, Wokingham, Kingselere, Andover, and Salisbury ; Shaftesbury, Sherbourne, Yeovil, Crewkerne, Axminster (or from Salisbury to Cranbourne, Blandtbrd, Dorchester, Bridport, Axminster), and Houlton, to Exeter. entiearbl37 the one a d op t e d b y th e R omans ; an d le, adopt e d t h e stra i ght li ne, th e C ome eo • a Ns s 'eenr ca was P nearrlly as possible, f o ll ow i ng t h e i r examp l e. This the old mail co ac h line, until the circuitous course of the ulasro laTttdthh G ee wee r y e Great Western, line chosen es • onh t er n , to the infancy of railway traffic, diverted the traffic from it. The line of this railway will pass through Staines, as before ob served; and it is proposed to form a branch to Windsor, it being re presented that that mode of immediate communication with the metropolis will be most congenial to the wishes of the inhabitants of that town and its vicinity. The r eommittee are therefore, and active therefore, desirous of accomplishing that objec!, and invit e th e i m mediate co-operation of the landhold ers and inhabitants of Windsor to this part of their scheme especially, To To the sporting world, also, this undertaking offers a desideratum which has long been felt; it is calculated the number of persons annually visiting Ascot and Egliam Races exceeds 250,000; this line will pass in the immediate vicinity of these race-courses; and near Ascot ,a handsome and comm o di ous station will be erected for the ac commodation of the public. The traffic tables which are now in course of preparation will, when completed, be published; but from the official returns, and other sources which have come within the Committee's cognisance, a very ample interest for the capital neces sary for this undertaking is shown, and as the traffic, from the great accommodation this railway will afford to every description of pro perty in the district through which it will pass, will be greatly in creased, so also will be the financial returns. The rejection of the Bill before Parliament of the Plymouth and Falmouth line, induces the Committee to propose an immediate ex tension of the direct line from Exeter to Falmouth. Prospectuses for and the landowners on the Falmouth this extension will be published as soon as the plans and surveys are matured, and in the allotment of shares for this part of the line pre ference will be given to the original holders of shares in the Direct p l ans , sections, and books of reference will be ready has been partially surveyed, and the essential bene wileirsbeof Parliament, elbow of Bristol been • fit arising from avoiding the e ascertained beyond i L in o Te n i d ie on el a it n ir d e, E li ti n e e ter Company, The usual power the Standing Ord m ade for a Bill to incorporate the Company and application will be early in the next sesstaken by the cent. per annum , after passing the Act, Act to allow interest at 41. per t* nspaid u on the amount of the subscrip io s a vi d t o tri t ihe Tlie time prescribed ien. by the shall be answerable for more thanthe amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the am ount of his sub- seri ption. t sanction t present In case Parliament should no undertaking, bet aken tope secure, the money de hich every active meals will x en p w osited, deducting the necessarlyerse .p ses rettending the projection, will be returned to the shareho d . t.
