London and Birmingham, and the lines of railway proposed to con verge at that town from Cheltenham, and the west from Worcester and from Warwick, the line will proceed in a direct course to the market town of Kettering, by which place all the companies com peting for the line of railway between London and Manchester pro pose to pass. It will then proceed, also, in a direct course to the market towns of lippingham, Oakham, and Grantham, to Lincoln. The country lying between the towns of Northampton and Gran tham is wholly without existing or even proposed railway accommo dation, not only to the south, but also to the north. At Lincoln the line will tbrk, and proceed on the one hand in a northerly direction to the flourishing port of Gainsb*rough, and on the other by a north-eastern course to the market town of Market Raiscn, on the rising port of Great Grimsby. By an union with the Sheffield and Great Grimsby Junction Rail way at Market Itaisen, a d rect and uninterrupted chain of commu nication will be established between all the above-mentioned districts and the town and port of Hull. The soarees of traffic which this line will secure are various and ' very - considerable ; some of them only can be here enumerated, viz.:— Starting from Great Grimsby the line will appropriate to itself the whole of the traffic thence to the metropolis, and also the southern and wectern districts of the country, and, in addition, it will secure the important and increasing local traffic between that town and PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE.

It is proposed by this Company to establish a direct line of commu nication between Birmingham, Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hull, at the smallest outlay of capital, and with the least possible injury to existing interests. To effect this object, use will be made of existing or projected lines, as far as practicable, and the chain of communica tion will be completed by throwing out new lines, where requisite. Commencing at Birmingham, it is proposed to use the Birmingham and Derby Railway as far as Whitacre, whence a new line, about 29 miles in length, will be made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zottch and Castle Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid land Counties Railway The communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will be carried eorward as far as Gainsborough, either by the proposed Not tingham and Gainsborough Railway, or by a line springing out of the line from 'Nottingham to Lincoln, for which an Act was obtained by the Midland Counties Company during the last session of Parliament. From Gainsborough this railway will proceed to Barton-on-the- Humber, or New Holleud, in the immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby rendering complete and entire the chain of communication between Birmingham and Hull. By this project the advantages will result to the public of a Direct line from Birmingham to Nottingham, 91 Birmingham to Gainsborough, and from Birmingham to Hull; and by means of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Railway, and the intended extension to Ashby-de-la-Zouch, a direct line from Wolverhampton to Nottingham, and the other towns already elm inerated. The support of several companies will be enlisted in favour of the lice, which, together with its own merits, will ensure its success in Parliament. As a coneiderrible portion of the line of communication is already made, or in progress, the time required for the completion of this great tuitional undertaking will he materially shortened. Independently of the advantages to he derived by a direct commu nication between the important seaport of Hull and the mining and manufacturing. districts of Warwickshire and Staffordshire, a large traffic in timber, corn, metals, &c., may he confidently expected. The revenue of the Company, in addition, will be derived from the great thorough truffle from Birmingham and the midland counties to Nottingham and Gainsborough, and the immense traffic from Bir mingham to Hull, the'port at which the exports are shipped to Ham burgh, the Ge-man States, and the North of Europe ; and from the conveyance of merchandise, agricultural produce, and cattle from the Southern, western, and midland counties. A preference will he given in the allotment of shares to landowners on the line, and other local proprietors, as well as to directors tied shareholders in railways interested in supporting this undertaking. No subscriber will lie liable beyond the amount of the deposit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his suliseription. The usual power will he taken to allow interest at the rate of four per cent. from the time of payment upon each call until the °peeing of the line. No applications will he attended to without a reference to a member oftl; e Committee, a banker, or the solicitors to this Company. The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip certifi cates, of which due notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by any party making default in the execution. of those deeds will be for fel t ed Plans and prospectuses, with forms of applications for shares, may be had of the Solieitnrs, mid of the following Stock and Sharebrokers, viz..—Messrs.

The entire district between Grantham and Kettering, a distance of more than forty miles, and including the market towns of Oakhatn and Uppingham, is without railway or water-carriage accommoda tion, and the whole of its traffic therefore will travel over this line of railway, which will be in the direct course not only to the west but also to London. _ - At Kettering this line will unite with that one of the now com ' petmg schemes passing that town from Manchester and Leicester to London which shall be successful before Parliament. The country is free from engineering difficulties, with one or two exceptions only, and those are more than counterbalanced by the very favourable gradients of by far the greater portion of the line; indeed, for many miles the line will run upon a water level. The lire will not interfere with any ornamental property. The landowners on the line are favourable to the undertaking. The promoters reserve power to alter and vary the route, and ex tend the proposed line of railway, and to increase the amount of capital, as may be necessary or advisable.

Gadcsden, Esq. ci F grc E s_l,7o. 70, King William-street, Mansion -house, London The object of the promoters of this Company is to form a direct line of railway, from Bristol and Bath to Dover; and thus, in effict, unite, connect, or recii,.'ocate with, all the existing and projected lines of railway in the south . ai.d south - West and west of Eg a a nd nd , st a ll s well also as form a complete co.: imunication with Ireland ny ,sl most of those in the northern the western and Welsh railway s, passengers and goods and great manufacturing distr icts, b y s to and from Folkestone a nd Dover, Frans e and Belgium, may be conveyed without the necessity of passing th r ough the m e tropolis. The main line to be laid down by the Company will be con;lderably less than 100 miles, throughout which the strongest eneouragen;ert and support have been manifested towards this railway by the landea proprietors, many of whom have determined to invest capital in the undertaking; and the engineer's report precludes any apprehen sion of engineering difficulties. The great public utility and corn. uremia] advantages of railway communication between the important places and ports which it is now contemplated to unite must be at once appreciated by reference to a snap of the country, and they will be forcibly illustrated by the objects to be attained by this Company. _ . will be entire'l obviated, and manufacturers and merchants in rue s ' parts of the country, west and north, or south, will be thus en• aided to forward and receivegoods direct from and to Dover and Folkstonr, avoiding the present inconvenient mode and expense of transference from railway to railway across London. Any attempt to distinguish the number of passengers proceed ing to or from London, or the provinces and the continent by the South Eastern and Dover Rail.vay, would be abortive; but the published statements of that Company show that the traffic ex. coeds 8,0001. weekly, and the accounts of arrivals at, and departures from Calais, Boulogne, and Ostend, exhibit an astonishing number of persons as passengers to and from England weekly, by Dover and Folkenstone, throughout the whole of the year. Yielding to the metropolis one.half of the number as a large proportion, the remaining half will belong to the provinces and Ireland, who will probably prefer to be conveyed from or to their localities without the annoyance of being compelled to pass through London, es pecially as the saving of distance alone will considerably diminish expenses. The construction of this line of railway can hardly fail to meet the full approvol of the Government; as, besides its great com mercial utility, the convenience it will afford for the speedy Iran. sport of troops from Ireland, or the north, south, or west of Eng land to Dover, in a direct manner. Avoiding the present necessity of marching them across London or other towns, after they are once placed iii railway carriages, must be greatly appreciated; and where it is expedient that expedition and secrecy should be observed in the removal of troops, the means offered by this Company will greatly assist the authorities in facilitating their objects. The railways already constructed or projected with which this line of railway will effect a union or communication, and recipro. cate, advantages exceed fifty in number (as will be seen by examin ing any railway map), and all of them must be in direct commu nication with, and will feed, or be fed by The Southern Counties Union, and Bristol, Bath, and Dover Direct Railway ; the most important junctions being those leading to this line from the north and the manufacturing districts by Oxford to Dovor and Brighton, those from Ireland, North Wales by Cheltenham or Oxford and this railway to Dover or Brighton, and those from the south and west of England by Salisbury to Dover; thus effecting a con tinuance and direct intercourse with nearly every part of Eng land, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and the continent. The census returns show that this railway will pass through a country containing a population of upwards of one million, and this number, though large, may be fairly multiplied several times, if all the other parts of the kingdom which will benefit by it be con sidered. With these facts before them, the promoters hare not deemed it necessary to put forth estimates of traffic; the soundness of the project being guaranteed by the truths already given in this brief exposition, and the great objects intended to be compassed by this Company.

This line is hitencicd to begin at Bristol by means of the Great Western Railway, and passing through Bath to Bath Hampton it will skirt the valley of the Avon, to Bradford, and thence to Trowbridge. It will then take as straight a direction as can be obtained to Devises, All Cannings, Pewsey, Burbage, Shatborne, West Woodhay, High Clere, and Overton, on to Basiiigitoke, where it will unite with the South Western Railway, and thus from the western counties the distance will be several miles shorter to the metropolis than by any other existing line. to It wilt then, by means of the South Wes tern Railway, proceed on near Farnborough (a distance of fourteen miles) whence, leaving Farnham to the south, it will pass onward to Ashe, Guildford. Gornshall, and Dorking to Riegate, where il unite with miles thr S ou th Eastern and Do wer Railway—(the latter t wit , eighteen from Guildford to Reigate will in all probability be constructed by another Company.) I n its course it w ill thread its way through the lines of many of the railways already constructed or projected—the junction of which will not only be estimated as a great public convenience, but prove highly adva n t age ous to the several Companies interested, pro . that must stream from Ireland—from clueing an imm ense traffic, our great manufacturing districts in the north--the cloth and corn markets of the west of England—the mineral and coal fields of Wales, and the hop districts in Kent—all of which point to the formation of this railway as a great desideratum, as well also as to form a direct communication with France, Belgium, and the con tinent generally.
