This railway Is intended to commence at the terminus of and unite with the Nottingham and Lincoln Railway, at Lincoln, and to proceed by or near Wragby and Market Raisen to Great Grimsby, with a branch from or near Market Raison to Louth, and a branch from the main line near to and through Wragby to Homeastle. The length of the main line from Lincoln to Grimsby will be about 33 miles, the branch to Louth about 10 miles, and the branch to Moracastle about 14 miles—together 56 miles. The advantages of the line will be self-evident to those acquainted with the locality; amongst other benefits, it may be observed, that th's line will form a direct and speedy communication between the port of Great Grimsby and the midland and western counties, as well as the metropolis ; and the port of Great Grimsby (which may now be looked upon as the future Liverpool of the Humber) is admitted by maritime and practical men to be the best situated northern port of _England for the whole of the markets of the continental Europe. A glance at the map of Europe will show its superior local advantages. The completion of this undertaking will facilitate a passenger traffic as well as the transmission of grain, cattle, butter, wool, tim - her, stone, lime, manure, and other goods and merchandise, to and from the great towns of Birmingham, Coventry, Leicester, Derby, It °Bingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and the intermediate towns and mannfactuting districts, and will open the coal-fields of Nottingham shire, Leicestershire, and Derbyshire, to Lincolnshire, and a direct communication between the midland and western counties and the port of Great Grimsby for ex ortation and importation to and from the markets of continental Europe. It wll likewise render easy of access that ancient and now much-frequented and improving sea bathier place Cleethorpes, to and from which place a large amount of p i-eaenger traffic may be relied on, being within the distance of two Mike from the proposed terminus at Great Grimsby. Ihe county of Lincoln abounds in agricultural productions, whilst ft is believed an inadequate recompense has hitherto accrued to those engaged therein, by reason of which both produce and land have been depreciated in value, but now important advantages will present themselves to both the agricultural and mercantile in terest. , The gradients of the line are exceedingly favourable, and the expense of construction will he unusually low; the promoters have therefore every reason to anticipate a most satisfactory return for the capital to be invested. The plan of this Company also comprises one of great national in terest, when clewed in connexion with other Improvements of the - Pert of Great Grimsby, and the formation of a harbour of refuge for the German and Baltic Seas.

The communication by railway between these important towns and the continuous hop and cider districts has been entirely left unprovided for by existing arrangements, and this line is brought forward under the auspices of the Great Eastern and Western Railway Company, on the strong representations and request of a large arid most influential body of the landed gentry of the neigh bourhood. The object proposed is to make a direct communication between Leominster, Bromyard, and Worcester, which latter town has always been the natural market for the produce of these districts, and to af ford the inhabitants the most direct communication with London, as compared with other lines, by upwards of 30 miles. No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the act is ob tained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at 41. per cent. on all calls from the time of their respective payments, as well as to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscrip tions.

The object of this undertaking is to form an unbroken link or communication with all the existing railways, by which means more particularly the Western, Southern , Eastern, South-Eastern, and South-Western parts of the kingdom may be tra v er se d f r o m the Northern Districts, without the necessity of making the metropolis a resting-place either for passengers or goods : and thus obviating considerable expense and great loss of time. The length of the main line will be 62 wiles, commencing at Hert ford, (which has already a branch to the North-Eastern Railway), eontin Ing its course by Hatfield, St. Alban's, to Wattbrd, where it will cross the London and Birmingham Railway, from thence to Rickmansworth, Uxbridge, and West Drayton, where it will pass under the Great Western Railway, proceeding by Colnbrook, (having a branch to Wi n d sor from the main line at Horton), cross the Thames at Staines', t o E gham, til d w . ay Dorking,at t h W e. n e d y b terminatingr i dg e Station, a t ne i approachinggat e,where Co b Chertsey, passing into the South Western junction with the Sou The great distance 1 .. t 1 . 1. it will L e fe a rn t h s e r a - Eastern and London and Brighton Railways. in London. ha. fo o r m each other of the various termini of rail waysthe legislature and of the a length of time occupied the attention of of prorierty has been ar,interested Companies ; but the great value ment : hence the necessrPer one line to another ; and LIZ ' a more direct been deemed the most ancient to able obstacle to effecting any improve- Carment Surveys the communication from present plan has surveys thus made, and auo fro meet every desideratum.

Itendell, Esq At Falmouth The object of this line is to effect a direct communication between London and the Land's End. In a national point of view such a line is indispensable. With the advaatage of a direct railroad, Falmouth, from it, situation at the western extremity of the kingdom, would undoubtedly long since have been the p r i nc i pa l por t on that coast. With the advanta g e of at least 280 m il es of heavy road, that place has attained its high po sition as a Pa c k e t St at i on. Sout h a mpton, with flit less natural ad vantages, has, sin ce th e open i ng of the South-Western Railway, in creased its imports f rom 200 , 0001. to 3,000,0001. per annum. At Bris tol, before th e o p en i ng of the G rea t 'Western Railway, the imports were declining ; si nce th en t h e y h a ve very considerably increased. The merits of a li ne t o t h e Land's End as an investment for ca pital, it was not left to the present Company to discover. The Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Railway having already reached Exeter, it has been in contemplation to extend that line to Fal mouth by way of Plymouth ; and various other projects have been set on foot on the conviction that Falmouth must be reached by railway. The object of this prospectus is to show that no other line than the present can ultimately satisfy the exigencies of the country in regard to this, its most important outport—" the natural Packet Station of the empire." The present project is distinguished by this—that it is direct. It is as nearly as possible a straight line from London to the Land's End. The London, Bath, and Bridgewater Company having amalga mated with this Co:npany, the immense local influence commanded by them will now contribute to the great national object of a direct line ; while means have been taken for securing the traffic and afford- Great Bedwin, Marlborough, Devizes, afford ing all the accommodation contemplated by that Company. the manufacturing dis- The Direct Western availing itself of the Great Western Railway so far as Reading, pursues its course by or near Newbury, Hunger ford,trict of Trowbridge (from which a diverging line will be carried by Bradford direct to Bath), Westbury, Froine, Shepton Mallet, Wells (from which another diverging line will be taken to Bridgewater), Glastonbury to Taunton, being shorter by about thirty-two miles than any existing railways between these points, and without a tunnel. From Taunton the Bristol and Exeter Railway (now leased to the Great Western) is traversed to Tiverton, whence it is proposed to carry this line direct to the Land's End, Falmouth, St. Ives, and Penzance, being shorter by about sixty miles than the lately proposed line by way of Plymouth, and effecting, in the whole tistance from London to Falmouth, a saving of about ninety miles. With respect to the traffic on the upper portion of the line it is sarilte bo igy more tisma tint tirgro LI already thorough tip gum. dent to Justify the construction of this portion of the Direct Wes tern ; that it will shorten the distance from London to Tiverton about 32 miles thst it will traverse rich and populous agricultural and manufacturing districts, and receive a large amount of traffic as well from railways now in course of construction as from others pro jected, with every chance of success. As to the traffic on the lower portion of the line, it is evident that the vast number of merchant vessels continually detained in the Channel by adverse winds, would effect an immense saving both in insurance and time, by discharging their cargoes at Falmouth, and at once transmitting them to their destination by means of this railway; and therefore—without speculating on the extent to which the ports on either side of the great promontory of the Land's End may, by means of this railroad, attract the commerce respectively of Bristol and Southampton ; to what extent the inexhaustible mineral wealth of Cornwall, and the unrivalled agricultural resources of Devonshire may be further developed, or the genial climate of Penzance and Mount's Bay, " the Montpellier of England," attract a larger propor tion of winter visitants—it le obvious that this line will command a traffic both in goods and passengers, from its western terminus, the amount of which may be said to be without limit. A glance at the map will make it manifest that no competing trunk line can ever be established between Tiverton and the Land's End. As between Taunton and Reading, au inspection of the map will show a vast ex tent of midland distri.t, comprising rich and populous parts of So mersetshire, Dorsetshire, and Wiltshire, now altogether destitute of railroad accommodation. Recurring to the features of this project as a national work, one of the greatest in point of magnitude, of vital importance in the event of war, and of almost incalculable advantage to the general and packet commerce of the kingdom; It May not be out of place to quote here the following expressions of Sir Robert Peel. Speaking of the project of a direct line from London to Liverpool through the Trent Valley, which bore much the same relation to the Birmingham and Grand Junction that this bears to the Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Railways, he is reported to have said :—" I consider that the com munication between the metropolis and the great outports to be not a question of hours, but a question of minutes." Of the necessity of this particular line, Parliament has already expressed an opinion ; for in the report of the Committee on the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth line, which was promoted by the Great Western Railway Company, it was stated that that Company had been required to pledge itself not hereafter to oppose a direct line to Falmouth ; and it may be farther observed, that a proposed line from Plymouth to Falmouth was last session rejected, on the ground that it might be supposed to interfere with that great national object. The survey of the line has been to a great extent completed, and c( rre 't estimates of the expenditure and returns are in a state of for- IT rdneii, and the whole will be ready for the next session of Par liament. It is sufficient, as to these points, here to state that there are no engineering difficulties in any part of the line which have not been repeatedly surmounted in other cases ; that the first portion will be constructed at au unusually small expense ; that the undertaking will meet with the cordial support, concurrence, and co-operation of the landowners, and that the Directors are justified in asserting that this will prove to be one of the most remunerative railways in the kingdom. Powers will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at four pounds per centum per annum on the deposits, and preference in the allotment of shares will be given to the proprietors of the land through which the line will pass, and to the shareholders in the Great Western, the Bristol and Exeter, and other railways connected with the Direct Western district.

The geographical position of Worcester has caused its adoption as the point where the broad gauge trunk lines of the west are to have a common terminus. From Oxford the Great Western Company have decided on constructing a line of rail :—another projevt under the pa tronage of the same powerful direction is now before the public, uniting Worcester with Warwick ; and, that the broad gauge will be carried from Worcester Into Wales, and to the Irish packet stations on that coast, is now no longer doubtful. This undertaking will com plete a series of great avenues of iron-road, whose ramification from Worcester will render every part of the kingdom directly accessible from that city. Passing up the Severn Vale, where it will disclose a succession of picturesque scenes, it reaches Stourport, and proceeding thence through Kidderminster, arrives at Bewdley. This district is one of the chief seats of our carpet manu factures, and in the towns here named, exclusive of the intervening districts, upwards of 30,000 persons are located. Leaving Stourbridge a little to the east, the line is taken to lridgenorth, a town enjoying an actlve inland trade, and possessing wwlien marivactures and Iron works, that give employment to a population of about 15,000. Pass ing through or near to Much Wenlock, Broseley, and Madeley, from which place there will be a branch to Shrewsbury, the line ascends COON* 12+110, eirl . approadang ip its wane Wale.= Pld Wows enters Whitchurch. From this central place a branch will be formed to Norwich via Stoke, forming a junction with the Liverpool and Crewe Railway. The trunk line will continue from Whitchnrch, and passing through or near Alaipas, have its northern terminus in the city of Chester. In estimet:ng the probable amount of revenue which the Worces ter and Chester Railway may be expected to yield, many sources of profit present themselves, such are the dense population located along the length of the Severn Vale, and the enriching works of industry in which they are engaged. Amongst the latter may be mentioned the Chinas manufactories of Worcester, the iron, coal, and earthen ware works at Broseley and other places ; the agricultural produce brought to Stourport market; the inexhaustible fields of coal and ' mines of iron ore in the vicinity of Colebrook Dale, Ironbridge, and the districts to the east of Shrewsbury generally. In calculating the cost of construction unusual advantages are also obvious. The line traverses a district affording levels of several miles in extent, and with a surface peculiarly favourable. The resi dent population, disappointed by the postponement of promised pro jects, have warmly espoused the present, and the labouring popula tion being familiar with mining operations, will be found better qualified for the execution of railway works here than in many_other localities. As a link in the railway network of England, or as auxiliary to existing or projected lines passing In various directions, few schemes hitherto proposed appear to afford greater inducement for investment, or a wider range of accommcdation for traffic and travelling. This project constitutes a lengthened link in the chain that will connect Liverpool with Bristol, the grand trunk or the West of England ;—its southern terminus, Worcester, is the half way station of: the London and Portdynnllaen broad gauge line:— by projected lines a direct communication will be afforded west ward to Swansea and Aberystwith, and, easlward, to Warwick and Northampton, Cambridge, Peterborough, Harwich, Lynn, Lincoln, aid Hull. The line has been repeatedly and carefully examined by the Com pany's acting engineer, who reports that the rail for many miles may be laid on the natural level—that the gradients are in every in stance favourable—that the geological structwe of the districts to be traversed is equally so, and that the want of such a line of com munication is acknowledged by the interests seated on its proposed course. _ _ Applications for prospectuses and plans may be made, and forms of application for shares had at the offices of Messrs.

The great difficulty, delay, and expense attending the transit of passengers and goods from Kingston to Montego Bay and the inter mediate ports, either by sea or land, is well known to all persons conversant with the islan i of Jamaica. The average passage by steamer between Montego Bay and King ston, occupies forty-four hours ; and the costs, including expenses on the route, amount to nearly 51. each passenger, while the quickest journey by land occupies three days, and the expenses, including horse hire, reach nearly 201. By the railway the whole line will be traversed in eight hours, at an expense not exceeding an average of 30s. per passenger. The difference in the freights between the northern and southern sides of the island and England is such, that independently of the saving of time, this railway will enable proprietors on the northern side, after payment of the costs of transit, to ship their produce at much less expense than at present, and will afford them the advan tage of slipping at all times from the very excellent harbour of King ston, instead of being confined, as they now are, to the exposed ports of the east and north of the Island. The line will commence at a spacious quay, to be constructed at Kingston Harbour, with a depth of water sufficient for vessels of the largest tonnage employed in the export trade of the Island ; at or near to which point it is proposed to form a junction with the King ston and Spanish Town Railway, and proceed thence by or near Rock Fort, Yallahs, Morant Town, Port Morant, Plantain Garden, Man chioneal Harbour, Port Antonio, Buff Bay, Annotto Bay, Port Maria, St. Ann's, Duncan, Martha Brae, and terminate at or near Montego Bay. By these means a line of intercommunication will be formed between the most important and populous places, and facility offered for carriage of the produce of the most prod.ictive portion of the island. Through the southern portion of the line, the physical features are gentle elevations, almost parallel to the principal range of moun tains which run east and west, nearly the length of the island ; the eastern portion, from Port Morant to Plantain Garden, is almost level ; while the northern runs through an exceedingly rich country, rising into hills separate from each other by spacious vales. The whole of the country traversed by the line abounds in the staple ar t:cles of sugar, coffee, rum, molasses, ginger, pimento, and other seices, dye wood, drugs, &c. ; and as more than one-third of the land is still uncultivated, the production of these articles will, by the increased facility for traffic, be greatly increased ; and cotton, indigo, cocoa, &c., and dry stuffs, at present unimpeded, will again be brought into extensive cultivation. Timber of great variety abounds along the line ; besides the pimento tree, which flourishes spontaneously, there are mahogany, lignum vitae, ebony, Spanish elm, line cedar, and other trees of enormous bulk. The line will also bring largely into use the valuable palmetto , and various other woods for agricultural and household purposes, aid cabinet works. The mineral wealth of the country on the line is very considerable ; lead ore is extremely rich and heavily impregnated with silver; whilst every variety of copper ore is found in abundance. Carbonate of lime, valuable as manure, &c., of which Long Mountain is com posed, will form a considerable item in the tables of traffic. The peculiarly favourable circumstances attending the construction of this Railway render it highly probable that a considerable portion of the capital demanded will not be required, as every material* necessary for its formation is to be found on the line, and should the atmospheric principle of propulsion be adopted, the necessity for cut tings and embankments will be generally superseded. A gratuitous grant of the unappropriated laud required for the line, and the free use of all the timber, stone, &c., necessary for its con struction, will, it is expected, be ceded by the Legislative Assembly ; —the mineral wealth, which may be developed by the construction of the line, will accompany the grants of the land, and may be leased to capitalists for the benefit of the Shareholders. Of the various imports, and the internal traffic, a satisfactory esti mate can scarcely be given —it will be safficient to state, that Coals, Fish, Lime and Salt, empty Puncheons, Shingles, Bricks, Hoops, Lead, Timber, Provisions, Cattle, Flour, Tobacco, Hardwares, and Manufactures generally, form important seams of profit. The working expenses of the railway will require but a moderate per centage, and from all the circumstances already stated, and care ful inquiries into the traffic, there can be no doubt that this line of railway will yield a very remunerative return upon the capital re quired, and the speedy communication established between the island and Great Britain, by means of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, will enable the Directors in this country to exercise an efficient control over the management of the affairs of the island. The Committee propose to make provision in the Local Act for the payment of 4% per cent. interest upon the amount paid upon the shares from the passing of the Bill until the opening of the line. Applications for shares in the usual form may be made to the Provisional Committee, at the offices of the Company, 43, Moorgate-street ; to Messrs. Elmslie and Preston, solicitors, 47, Moorgate-street, London ; and the following Sharebrokers : Mr. S. 11. Ellis, 17, Throgmorton-street ; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39, Lothbury; Mr. D. B.

Ellis, Elliott, and Co., Solicitors SECRETARY. Mr. William Prothero, lA, Old Jewry Chambers, London. This Line will join the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway at Chepstow, and extend westward near to Piercifield, the far-famed IVindeliff, and Tinter!' Abbey, to the towns of Usk and Pontypool, and over the centre of the great iron and cal field of South Wales. passing near to and through the midst of the extensive iron works and collieries of M•nmouthshire and Glamor ganshire, to join the Aberdare branch of the Taff Vale Railway, which connects Merthyr Tydvil and Aberdare with Cardiff—thus forming a much more direct and almost straight Line—by means of the railways already made and projected between those immensely populous districts, and the centre of the kingdom and London, by means of which the journey by land will be shortened between the metropolis and this great seat of industry to tour and a half, and between Newport and Cardiff to flvo hours, which at present, even by the aid of existing railways, cannot be performed In less than f om ton to twelve hours. It will be found by reference to the official census of 1831 and 1641, that the average increase of population of the county of Mon mouth exceeded that of any other county in England or Wales ; this fact is referred to as illustrative of the rising importance of the country through which this railway is intended to pass, and of the very large passenger traffic which may reasonably be calculated upon. . . . The town of 'Usk, with Ragland, and the rich agricultural district for many miles around, are supplied by carts from the vicinity of Pontypool with coal and lime, which are there obtained at a cheap rate, and in return cattle and provisions of all kinds, hay, corn, and pit timber to an enormous extent, are sent to the iron works and collieries, where the consumption is immense. This traffic alone must necessarily ensure a considerable revenue to the Company, in dependent of the great traffic from the manufactured iron, lire bricks, and paving stone, which is of B ,, perior quality, and in great abundance. The present cost of conveying and delivering Iron and tin plates from the works to London, including transit to the port, shipping charges, freight, and insurance, amounts to little less than 20s. per ton, whilst by this railway, and those it is intended to join, the average cost at the rate usually charged for such goods on rail ways will effect a saving of at least 25 per cent., and be conveyed within twenty-four hours, instead of the average voyage round the Land's End of three, and not unfrequently six weeks, and with the very important advantage of delivering the iron free from rust, which is unavoidable on a sea voyage, in small bars more part'cu larly, causing a deterioration of from 15s. to 20s. per ton at least. This railway, by means of the Chepstow ' Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction, and the Birmingham and Gloucester Railways, will open Birmingham as a market for the manufactured iron of South Wales, from which it has been in a measure excluded, from the difficult and expensive transit by the River Severn and Canals. Large quantities of iron ore, known as" Ilmmatete ore,"is imported into Wales, from Lancashire, Cumberland, Devon, and Cornwall; whilst ore of a similar quality, and equal productiveness for iron making, exists in abundance in the Forest of Dean, and may be raised and delivered from thence by means of this and the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway to the different iron works in Monmouthshire and Glamorganshire at an average of from 25 to 30 per cent. less than it costs at present, and at the same time leave a handsome remuneration to the Railway Companies. The Committee of Management have gone very carefully into estimates of the goods traffic especially, and they feel justified in expressing a decided opinion that the revenue from this source alone will yield 5 per cent. on the proposed capital of the Company, in addition to the revenue to be derived from the other traffic. This Railway will pass close to, and within a few miles of, all the iron and tin works of Monmouthshire, and the principal part of those in Glamorganshire ; and the following short statistic of the extent of those stupendous undertakings will give an idea of the vast importance of the present project. The iron and tin works com mence at Pontypool, and are— _ _ 1. The Pontymoile Tin and Iron Works of Capel Hanbury Leigh, Esq. 2. The Blaendare Iron and Coal Works of R. J. Blewitt, Esq., M.P. 2. The extensive Tin Works of Messrs. Conway, Messrs. Fother gill, and Mcssrs. Jenkins 4. The Pentwyn, Golonos, and Varteg Iron Works and Rolling Mills of Messrs. Williams S. The British Iron Company 6. The Blaenavon Iron Company 7. The Nantylylo, Messrs. Bally, Brothers S. The Coxibrooke Vale, Messrs. Brewer 9. The Cwn Celya and Bleina Company 10. The Beaufort, Messrs. Bally, Brothers 11. The Ebbw Vale, Messrs. Darby 12. The Victoria Company 13. The Abbercarne, Poritymister, and Tydee Tin Works, Messrs. Lewis 14. The Tredegar Iron Company 15. The Shirhowey, Messrs. Darby 16. The Rhymney and Bute Company 17. The Dowlais Iron Works, Sir John Guest, Bart.. M.P., and Company 16. Carfartha. Wm. Crawshay, Esq. _ . And added to which, In the vicinity, are the extensive works and ooilieries in the Aberdare Valley. _ And on either side of the intended railway are collieries raising and vending about one million and a half tons of coal per anum, which it is not unreasonable to expect will be greatly extended, by the facilities offered through the intended railway. In the districts of Merthyr, Aberdare, and westward, there exists an inexhaustible abundance of a peculiar description of coal, which, though inflammable, is nearly smokeless, and is found to be superior in quality for steam purposes to any yet known. In the London market it meets with a ready sale at 30 per cent. higher than any of the best north country Hartley's ; and notwithstanding the high price, so highly is it esteemed, that the present importation amounts to nearly 100,000 tons per annum. This coal for the most part is brought from a distance of 24 miles, and shipped at Cardiff, from whence freights to London have averaged from 10s. to lls. per ton during the past year; but so uncertain is the supply to the metropo lis, owing to the scarcity of ships on the Welsh coast, and the long and precarious navigation round the Land's End, that many who are anxious to adopt their engine grates for its use, are deterred from the too great uncertainty which exists against obtaining a regular and constant supply ; these difficulties will be entirely superseded by the proposed railway, and th ese i t I s i ntended to join, with the great additional advantage and impetus to increased use and consumption, that it may be delivered to the consumer at from 2s. to 3s. per ton less price than at present. Under such circumstances, it will not appear unreasonable to those unacquainted with the trade, to expect that the consumption in the metropolis alone will be increased four fold, whilst a new-found trade will be opened out with Chepstow, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Witney, Oxford, and the numerous Inter mediate towns to London, where steam coal is used. It has been considered more judicious to form a separate Company for the Extension line from Chepstow to the Taff Vale, than to alter the Chepstow, For2t of Dean, and Gl oucester Junction Railway Company at present s , but powers are proposed to be taken for uniting the two Companies hereafter, with the assent of their respective Boards of Direction. Pre f erence will be given to those locally interested, and to the holders of Shares in the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway. A reference to the map will show the importance of this line as forming a direct line of railway communication between the great mineral district of Monmouthshire and Glarnorganshire, with the heart of the Kingdom and London. It may confidently be stated that in connexion with the Chep stow, Forest of Dean, and Glouces'er Junction Railway, then, is not a line of railroad in the Kingdom which offers greater advan tages to the Shareholders than the present. Provision will be made in the Act of Parliament which will be applied for In the next ses sion to limit the liability of the Shareholder to the amount of his shares, and to allow four per cent. on the calls. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Company shall be under the control of the Managing Directors, to whom power is given to allot the Shares, and to apply the funds of the Company in payment of all the expenses incurred in its forma tion, and in the preparation of the Plans and Sections submitted to Parliament. Power will be applied for In the Act (and in the meantime is hereby given to lbs Managing Directo•s as above), to raise any addi tional capital, to extend or abandon any branch of the line, to make branch lines, or enter into any arrangements, by amalgamation or otherwise, with any other company or companies, and also to nomi nate the first Directors of the Company.
