Commencing at Cambridge, which has now became the traffic centre of the Eastern Counties, by the line of rally. ay intended to be formed by that Company, this line will proceed. to Bedford, there passing near Olney it will cross at or rear the Blissporth Station of the London and Birraing,hain Railway, where it will -communicate with the Northampton and Peterborough line; it wilt Vial pro:eed west ward. crossing the Oxford and Rugby line at or IRA :r Fenny-Compton to Stratford-on-Avon, there joining the proposed :Ewe from Warwick and Leamington to Cheltenham, Gloucester, Thisti 31, and the West of England ; continuing its course through Alcester, the line will go di rect to Worcester, and thus terminate at the Brea t centre of traffic for the mineral and manufacturing districts of Srrath Staffordshire, Shropshire, and North and South Wales. This proposed line does not interfere with any existing railways, and presenting, as it does, an unbroken . line between two great centres of truff.c, the importance of the undertaking needs no further comment. Negotiations have been entered into with. I'te Eastern Coun ties Railway Company, by which their support anal 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 jails.: will join at Al cester, and. by meanaof which the Eastern Con odes' traffic will pro ceed to Worcester. Power will be reserved to the Directors to uma Igamate with any other existing or projecting Companies, •r to vary the line.

PARLIAMENTARY AGENT. • This line of railway is proposed to commence at the city of Ox ford ; to pass through the towns of Theme, Princes Risborough, High Wycombe, and other intermediate places in the counties of Oxford and Buckingham; and to pass on through Uxbridge to West Drayton, in the county of Middlesex, where it will join the Great Western Railway. From the town of Theme, through which it will pass, a railway has been projected to Aylesbury, which will, by means of the pre sent Aylesbary Junction, form a connection between the proposed line and the London and Birmingham ; while other railways are proposed, which will further extend the communication to the pro posed London and York Railway (or any other which may be carried northwards from London), to the Northern and Eastern, and lastly to the Eastern Counties Railway. Thus the line at pre sent proposed will complete the communication (partially produced by existing and other proposed lines) between Oxford and many im portant and populous places in Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Hert fordshire, and Essex, embracing the seaports and watering-places of Malden, Colchester, and Harwich. By the connexions formed with other railways, the various im portant and manufacturing towns and districts of the northern, cen tral, and eastern parts of the country will be placed within ready access of Oxford, its immediate neighbourhood, and the west of England generally, and this important object being effected by so short a line, cannot fail to secure considerable profit, as the mercan tile and agricultural traffic will be very great, as well as that of passengers. One very prominent advantage arising from the connexion with the London and Birmingham Railway, will be the ready and cheap upply of coal in a district where this essential article is at present exorbitantly dear; and, as the consumption in Oxford only must be very considerable, the carriage of it will prove an extensive source of profit to the line. Uxbridge is the largest corn market in England ; and the com municating medium with that town and the agricultural districts of Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, ansl the surrounding counties, must secure a large remunerating traffic. At West Drayton, where this line will terminate, the Great Western Railway furnishes the connecting link to the metropolis, the emporium of the world ; other railways are already projected, in a continuous direction with that of the proposed line, to the proposed London and Exeter Direct, and (crossing the river Thames) to the South Western, the proposed Portsmouth Direct, and the Brighton and Dover Railways. Thus Oxford and its locality will be directly connected by railway with the west of Middlesex, Kingston-upon- Thames, Dorking, Reigate, Brighton, and Dover ; and, indeed, with the counties of Surrey and Kent generally, avoiding the delay, dis tance, and expense, resulting from the present route by way of London. But, by the connexion formed with the Great Western Railway above alluded to, a most important object will be attained, namely, a direct railway communication between Oxford and the metropolis, which cannot fail to secure the whole of the traffic from the one place to the other, as the present line, formed by a junction with the Great Western at Didcot, is very circuitous, and the route will be shortened twelve miles or more. The proposed line may also be re garded as an extension of the projected lines from Oxford to Glouces ter and Worcester, and of all other lines westward of Oxford, not only towards the metropolis, but to the whole of the country and various railways to which it forms a communication. Oxford, celebrated as a large and splendid city, and mere espe cially as being the scat of one of our principal Universities, and con taining about 25,000 inhabitants, should undoubtedly be furnished with a good railway communication, both with London and with the country at large ; and as no line could be projected which would embrace both these objects so extensively and successfully as the present, there is every reason to believe the business done on it will be considerable, and will yield considerable return on the capital invested. A large amount of local traffic may also be expected on the line, as it will pass through a rich and populous tract of country, containing, within six miles distance from the site of the proposed railway, about 180,000 inhabitants, who are yet, for the most part, unaccommodated with the advantages of a railway. This tract of country,, being chiefly of an agricultural character, highly cultivated and :produc tive, a ready - and cheap conveyance to Oxford and other market towns in the immediate vicimity will be found very desirable. There are no peculiar difficulties presented to engineering con structions along this line, the surface is comparatively level, and the geological formation favourable ; the expense will he small compared with that of many others, and the greatest portion of the line does not approximate any ornamental or residential property. The usual powers will be applied for in the Act, to allow four per cent per annum on all calls until the completion of the undertaking, and no liability will attach to any subscriber beyond the amount of his subscription. Parties locally interested, and shareholders in the Great Western, the Aylesbury, and 'flme Railway, and other proposed hires in conjunction with the present, to have the preference as applicants for shares in this undertaking. Applications for Shares on the printed forms, to be made to the Solicitor ; to the Secretary, at the Company's offices ; to the Local Agents ; or to Richard Haighton Wilkins, Esq.

In submitting this undertaking to the public, the promoters are ivfluenced no less by a conviction of its importance as a direct con necting fine between the important towns of Chichester :.lid 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 Great B. Hain —Port: mouth and Chatham. The projected undertaking, by proceeding to the two termini it Chichester and Portsmouth, will extend the fitellitits of communica tion with the coast branches of railways along tho south of England, connecting - itself with Brigbion to the caStward: - and Southampton towards the west. - By the main line faTle, - ; Into the Brighton Rail way the advantage of two termini in London will he secured—the one at time Bricklayers' Arms, and the other at London-bridge—the latter of which, from its proximity to the Custom House, and the several docks on the Thames, is acknowledged to ht 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 Redhill station near Reigate, on the Lon don and Bri g hton Railway, a distance of 21 miles from London bridge. In its course to Portsmouth It will pass through or near Reigate, Nowdigate, Capel, Ockley, Ewhurst, Rudgwick, Cranley, Alfold, Billinghurst, Wisborough-green, Plaistow, Haslemere, Chiddingfold, North Chapel, Kirdford, Petworth, Midhurst, Chilgrore, Stoughton, Racton, Westbourne, and Emsworth, at or near which last •mentioned place this projected line will join the Chichester and Portsmouth Rail way to Portsmouth. _ _ At the earnest recommendation of some of the principal land owners, branches are proposed to be made to Godalming and Peters field. The branch to Galalming 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 /didhurst and !lepton. These extensions of this undertaking have rendered an in crease necessary in the amount of the capital originally fixed on ; hut from the increased accommodation which these branches will afford, the promoters of the undertaking feel confident that a com mensurate profit will result to the shareholder. A branch is proposed to be made from Dorking to join the main linew.ator.atear Capel. By thi%‘Course the entire distance to travel between London and Portsmouth will be abridged to 73 miles, a distance considerably shorter than that by which any litie hitherto projected batwee7l London and Portsmouth has proposed to pass, and also pursuing a route more populous and productive than any hitherto presented O - public notice. It will involve the construction of only 45 miles of railway to complete the course between the Redhill station (near Reigate) and Emsworth. From London to Reigate by the London and Brighton Railroad is ••••••• • • • • • • •• • • The junction to be made by this Company is .. 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 Loudon by this route will be Trains will run direct between London and Chichester, without stopping at Chilgrove. 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-mentione4 naval and military depot, this line will pass through or near to the towns of Bletchingley, Godston, Limpsfleld, Westerham, Seven Oaks, Ightham, Town Mailing, Wrotham, Off ham, Snodland, Lower hailing, and Wouldham. 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 exteni 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 in that direct com munication with each other which, in two hours, or thereabout, will enable the journey between them to be made. The formation of a direct line of rail way 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 on the greater part of the line is pledged to this undertaking. The Provisional Committee abstain from making any special re ference to the contemplated profit to result from carrying into eirec this undertaking, feeling convinced that the extent of traffic through the populous and rich districts over which this line and its branches are projected to pass is sufficiently known, and is decisive of the Inutility of all comment in that respect.

The object of this railway is to afford to the inhabitants residing within a circle of about ten m les south of the Thames the mean.; of a safe, frequent, and s k , cccly communication with the heart of the City. , - It is proposed to have a central terminus in Qucen-street, Cheap side, with a direct line of railway over Southwark-bridge to the Ele phant awl Castle, and thence by radiating branches to accommodate the localities of Kennington, Brixton, Streatham, Croydon, Clap ham, Balham, Tooting, Mitcham, Walworth, Camberwell, Peckham, Dulwich, Norwoml, the Rent-road, D e ptf or d , G reenw i ch, Black heath, harlton, Woolwich, Wandsworth, Putney, Mortlake, and Itichmon l , completing the chain of communication with the South- Western at Wandsworth, and with the London and Brighton and South-Eastern Line 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 ac commodation is to be afforded contain a population of between seven and eight hundred thousand persons, requiring daily inter course with the City. As this ibis 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 pay to the shareholders of the under taking 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 and gcods. A detailed prospectus, witli,tk. names of :livery influential Com mittee; and other officers, will appear in a few days. In the mean time all communications and applications for shares, in the usual form, may be addressed to It. B.

This railway is proposed to commence at Uxbridge, proceeding thence to the So u th a ll station of the Gnat Western Railway, and then through Heston to HounsloW, there meeting one of the proposed lines to Hounslow from Loudon. Leaving Hounslow the line pro ceeds through Whitton, Twickenham, Teddlngton, and Hampton, to Kingston, and, crossing the Thames, joins the Kingston station of the South-Western Railway, whence it will proceed to, axd terminate at ,Epsom. The towns and places through which the line passes, or most imme diately affects, contain an aggregate population of abont 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, &c., contrasting favourably with the present cir cuitous mute to London, by coach or omnibus to West Drayton, and thence by the Great 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 Smith field, anil it is attended by the graziers and butchers from all parts of the neighbouring country and the metropolis. By means of this line, and 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 has hitherto materially helped to produce the large dividends of the Grand Junction Canal. By means also of this line, and the Croydon and Epsom line (now in course of construction), all the before-mentioned towns and places are likewise connected with Croydon. The importance of connecting two such towns as Uxbridge and Brentford wdlh Kingston, Croydon, and Epsom, three of the largest Tarket-towns in Surrey, betweenwhich 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 which 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 round 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 proposed 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 persons visiting Hampton-court in the summer mouths 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 fruit 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 capable of construction ati about 16,0001. 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 Galsworthy, to whom also all communications from parties locally interested should be addressed, at their offices, No. 19, Ely-place, Holborn ; also to the following local solicitors, Henry Norton, Esq., Uxbridge; C.

PROSPECTUS. • This lino will pass in a direct course from Tunbridge, via Paddock wood (thus connecting itself with Maidstone), through the parishes of Branchley, Horsmonden, Goudhurst, Cranbrook, Benenden, Hewkhurst, Sandhurst, Rolvenden, Newenden, Northiam, Peas marsh, Beckley, Iden, and Ylayden, to the town and harbour of Rye, and it will embrace-a; large extent of adjacent country, at pre sent anprovided with, and much requiring the admitted advantages of railway transit. The length of the line will be about twenty-five 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 ornamental 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 500,0001. During the last session of Parliament application was made for a similar line, partially embracing the same country, when it was shown in detail, by evidence produced before the Committee, that the contemplated traffic, after deducting 401. per cent. for work ing expenses, would leave a large per centage upon the invested capital. That line was rejected on the ground that the best direc tion had not been selected, but with en intimation that the port of Rye was e%titled to a direct railway communication with the inte rior of the country, in the best direction towards London. The pre sent scheme has been based upon this intimation, taking advantage of the merits and defects of which appeared upon that investigation, and as it embraces a more populous and productive country, and passes in a more direct line to London, and will have the benefit Ot better access to other and more numerous lines, the sources of traffic are considerably increased, and there is every reason to believe, from what passed &Irma the last session, that the present plan will bo favourably entertained 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 itselfof the existing and contemplated lines. The imports of Rye, particularly coals, with lime and other manures, are of great importance to the country through which the line will pass, and a cheaper and better mode of transit will much increase the demand for them, and give the opportunity of great tin provement in the cultivation of the adjacent country. A railway through the heart 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 rout to Paris and to o th er p ar t s o f the Continent, and there can be no doubt if a direct railway should be made to Rye, with moderate improvement in the harbour, that It would be much adopted, particu cularly as a national and commercial communication with France, and by persons travelling on business. l a li d s d a r n e d ss N e address e dthe so licitors, Applications for shares and prospee.ct3ul7,ssrtso. l wiel Secretary, at the offices, 94, Cheapsd , Bettors, Craubrook ; Mr. John Elliot Wlls,oilici,itsoorl,ic.ltioir;,,Ckrahitiibrrsoto;k and to Messrs.

The Birmingham terminus will be placed in communication with all the other railways having a station in that town, and will be brought as near as practicable to its centre. Proceeding then ce i n a northerly 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 tation in communication with Thence crossing the Trent Valley, near King's Bromley, pursue the course of the BlythestaNt'aiollneyo,noßr ebnlyinogrtonne,sari:otondAonbbEtdas Bromley to Leigh, where it will leave the Blythe Valley and b ofthe ll e oes rew to e biuraanncchh,eesrtebrymaaybeshort cutting reachetrtthlotefe junctiont Teean projected en o t f . the new line to be made will not exceed junc tionManchesterwithw t i h t with ad T op h t e ed en b thirty-four miles, and the whole will be carried over amost favour able country—two-thirds being a water-level.

It will also give the best and nearest line between Huddersfield, and Bir mingham. It will also furnish a nearer and more direct route from Birming ham to the Potteries than any line made er projected by several Miles, assuming any of the projected Pottery lines to have their ter mini at Colwich, on the Trent Valley, or at Stafford, on the Grand Junction Railway ; thus giving to Manchester, and a:so 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. projected Leeds and Huddersfield and crosses i t t b a c il way.
