Rees Mogg, Cholwell, near Bristol PARLIAMENTARY AGENT —Cadwallader F. Waddy, Esq. SECRETARY—CharIes Martin, Esq. This Company has been formed for the purpose of constructing a line in continuation of the South-Eastern Railway at Reigate, whereby a direct junction will be effected between the whole of the south-eastern coast, including the port and harbour of Dover and the several port', and towns of Southampton, Gosport, Portsmouth, and Bristol ; and, by means of the Bristol and Birmingham Railway, with Gloucester, Worcester, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and the north of England. From its proximity to the Continent, the port of Dover will always be the most accessible point of the English coast; an expeditious communication therefore between that and the other ports, harbours, and inland towns of the United Kingdom, must necessarily be regarded as a great national advantage. Dover is at present the - chief port of embarkation for Calais, 13onlogne, Ostend, and other continental towns, and the vast numbers already resorting there both on business and pleasure, will be im ineasurrbly hicreased when the railway's of France, Belgium, Hol land, and Germany are fully brought into operation. In addition to which, the Government Commissioners having selected Dover as a Harbour of Refuge, and recommended the outlay there of 1,500,0001., it cannot fail of becoming a place of the greatest resort for the shipping and commercial interests of the coun try, and perhaps the most important town on the southern coast. In every point of view, therefore, whether for national security, or for travelling excursions, or the invaluable interests of our shipping and commerce, the paramount importance of a cheaper, more conve nient, and accelerated intercourse between this great port and all parts of the kingdom, must be sufficiently obvious. This the pre motets fully anticipate will be attained by the proposed railway, which will form a portion of a grand trunk line, completing the chain of railway communication upon the narrow gauge between the south-eastern coast, and Bristol and the western, northern, and mid land counties. The line will commence at the terminus of the South-Eastern Rail way at Reigate, proceed thence by Dorking Godalming, Farnham, and Odiham to the Basingstoke station, on the South-Western Rail way. It will then proceed by Andover towards Devizes, Trow bridge, and Bradford, with a branch to Bath, and pursuing its course through the Somersetsbire coal-Held, throwing off a branch towards Radstock into the heart of the collieries, terminate in ajunction with the Bristol and Birmingham Railway at Bristol. - 13;it7;urse through Dorking, Godalming, Farnham, and Odi- Lam, it will supply the railway accommodation so much required by . . . those towns, and connect the rich and fertile hop districts of Surrey, Kent, and South Hants, and afford the means of conveyance of their produce to the great Hop-fair at Weyhill. By its junction with the contemplated " Reading, Guildford, and Reigate Railway," it will afford to the inhabitants of Reading, Oxford, and to the midland counties generally, the best and shortest route to the Continent, as well as to Worthing, Hastings, Brighton, and the other watering-places in Sussex and Kent ; and a vast increase of visitors will undoubtedly be attracted to those places from the interior of England by the accommodation and facilities for travelling which will he accomplished by this and the proposed railway from Reading. By its intersection of the South-Western Railway at Basingstoke, and of the proposed Manchester and Southampton Railway further west, the present line will connect Dover towards the south, with Southampton (the packet station for the East and West Indies, &c.), Gosport, and Fortsmonth, and towards the north, with Cheltenham, Gloucester, Worcester, Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool, also with Shrewsbury, Chester, and Holyhead, and in fact with the whole of North and South Wales. At Basingstoke, also, this line will join the proposed London, Salis bury, and Yeovil Railway, and throw open to Dover and the south eastern counties the populous and wealthy cities of Salisbury and Exeter, the rich agricultural counties of Wilts, Dorset, Somerset, and Devon; the p its of Plymouth, Devonport, and Falmouth, and the mineral regions of Cornwall. To Devizes, Trowbridge, Bradford, and Bath, and the other towns in the vicinity of Its course, the benefit which this line will confer cawiot Ise too higQv estimated ; to the coal districts of Somerset shire it will open larger and constant markets both in Bristol and to the south and east, while to the inhabitants of Bristol especially, con necting its channel with the .Straits of Dover and the Downs, pro viding a perfect line for telegriMile communication, and securing to them the whole of the trade betwe' l3 the south-east of England a n d the west and south of Ireland, it seems'difficult, considering the enor mous traffic which must necessarily flow : 1 0 that city, to conceive a project more deserving of their cordial suppo;t: In the memorable Parliamentary contest last session between two great rival companies, the Legislature for the time admitted that principle of competition with existing interests' which was claimed by the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Cernpany for the protection and benefit of the public ; and it is with nJ fear of the result that the promoters of the present undertaking 1;1 , 1/Ye attention to one distinguishing feature it contains, viz., that by triYz construction of the line from Bristol t Basingstoke, the Box Tunnel will be avoided, and a new and independent communication will be established between Bristol and London, by a shorter line on the narrow gauge than by the devious course of the Great Western, inde pendently of all the advantages of the proposed central station at Hungerford-bridge, and the convenient access to the Thames both there and at Nine Elms, over the distant and inconvenient station of the Great Western 52 Paddington. In length the proposed line will be nearly 110 miles (assuming this Company to have the construction of that portion between Reigate and Dorking, for which plans have been deposited by the South- Eastern Company)-,the country through which it passes does not present any engineering difficulties of moment, nor will any resi dential or ornamental property be interfered with except under an imperative necessity. A reserve of shares will be made for landowners on the line, and the Committee also retain to themselves the power to vary the course of the line with reference to any arrangements with existing interests and projected lines that may be considered advantageous to the shareholders. The capital proposed to be raised is 1,500,0001., in 75,000 shares of 201 each, with a deposit of 21 2s. per share, to be paid on allotment. Power will be taken by the Act to allow interest, at 4/. per cent. per annum, upon all deposits and subscriptions until the opening of the line, and no subscriber shall be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act has bees obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. The Subscribers' Agreement and the Parliamentary Contract will be ready for execution, and the scrip issued immediately upon pay ment of the deposits. Applications for shares must be addressed to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, No. 12, Gray's Inn-place, only; but no appli cation will be attended to unless accompanied by a reference to a member of the Provisional Committee, one of the solicitors to the Company, or a banker. Copies of the prospectus and form of application for shares may be obtained at the offices of the Company, or of Messrs. Peppercorne, Old Broad-greet ; Mr. Sym, 9, Tokenhouse-yara ; and Mr. B. B.

SECRETARY—A. A. Flint, Esq. BANKERS—Messrs. Rogers, Ceding, and Co. LOCAL AGENT—R. H. Tarleton, Esq., Birmingham. The title of this line sufficiently and correctly explains the object of the undertaking. 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 thence in 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 thtion in communication with the projected Walsall lines. Thence crossing the Trent Valley, near King's Bromley, it will pursue the course of the Blythe Valley, or by or near to Abbots Bromley to Leigh, where it will leave the Blythe Valley, and by a short cutting reach the Tean station on Remington's London and Manchester line at the junction of the Crewe branch, or by a junc tion with whichever of the projected lines to Manchester may be adopted by Parliament. f e o n u t r i r m e length d o f thethe able country—two-thirds being a water-level. Sections ofa great portion of the line have been made, and the en- h n o e l e w will liie be te car b ri e ed m o a e d -e e r w a il m l o n s e t t feaxveoeuedr t h i The r ty- en tire Parliamentary survey will be completed by the 9th ofOctober. Thii railway will afford a route from Birmingham to Manchester eleven miles shorter than by any existing or projected line. 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 or 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. and Southampton. It will also give the nearest line between Huddersfield and Birming ham This railway crosses the projected Leeds and Huddersfield and Wolverhampton Direct Railway. In the Blythe Valley a station will the shortest route py many miles, with Leeds, Huddersfield, Sheffield, be placed, and communication effected, so as to afford to Birmingham and the northern parts of England. In allotting shares every legi timate preference will be given to the landholders on the line. It is obvious that the projected line will afford an ample return to the shareholders.

This railway will, therefore, form the only connecting link re quired ill time great chain of railway communication from east and west through the hea • rt of the kingdora uniting the shores of the German Ocean on ts e east with those of the Irish Sea on the west, and traversing in its cou rse the rich agricultural dist r i c t s o f the eastern, Inlillan a, and western counties, and accommodating the important, and Populous manufactunn • • g towns of Sta ff ord, De r by, N ottingham, Lei ceeter, and Shrewsbury. Put another mo s t i mportant advantage that will result from the ., formation of thi s li ne w i ll consist in the fact of its affording, in connexion with the proposed South Union, or Blanchester and Potteries Railway, by far the s h ortest and best route between Derby, Nottingham. Newark, Lincoln, Peterborough, Leicester, and Lou g hborough, and the exteusiv e an d populous dis tricts of the Staffordshire Potteries, Macclesfield, Stockport, and Manchester. By the proposed line the distance between Nottingham and Derby and Ma nches ter ‘ will be at least from 15 to 20 mil es l ess then m by the present circuitous route 1 y Sheffield. The traffic on th is line must necessarily be equal, if not impeder, to that of any line in the district. The length of the line will be about 33 miles, through a country presenting no difficulties ' of more than an ordinary kind for its con struction. The capital proposed to be raised is 600,000/., in sh a r es of 201. each, upon which a deposit of 2/. 2s. per share must be paid upon the allotment. No call will be made until the Act is obtained, and no subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of his deposit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription ; and the usual power will be taken to allow inter es t a t f our per cent. from the time of payment upon each call until the opening of the line. 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 London by this route will be • 62 miles. 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 so 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-mentioned naval and military depot, this line will pass through or near to the towns of Bletchingley, Godston, Limpstleld, Westerham, Seven Oaks, Ightham, Town Mailing, Wrothaus, 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 extent 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 effect 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.

H arra, thence to the This railway is proposed to com mence at 'Uxbridge, proceeding Southall station of the Great Western Railway, and then through Heston to Hounslow, there meeting one of the proposed lines to Hounslow from London. Leaving Hounslow the line pro ceeds through Whitton, Twickenham, Teddington, and Hampton, to Kingston, and, crossing the Thames, joins the Kingston station of the South-Western Railway, whence it will proceed to, and terminate at ,Epsom. The teems and places through which the line passes, or most imme diately affects, contain an aggregate population of about 200,000 persons. To the inhabitants ef 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 Hayes, Southall, &c., contrasting favourably with the present cir cuitous route to London, by coach or omnibus to West Drayton, and thence by the t.;reat 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, an 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, Brenttbrd, 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, aril the Croydon anti Epsom line (now In course of construction), all the before-ntentioned towns and places are likewise connected with Croydon. The importance of connecting two such towns as Uxbridge and Brentford with Kingston, Croydon, and Epsom, three of the largest market-towns in Surrey, between which the present agricultural traffic is extensive, is too obvious to require comment. A glance at the map will at once show that the coununication now proposed is not only judicious, but, in order to s a ti s f y t h e 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 toliounslow from the me tropolis, and the other propose .l 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 ef persons visiting Hampton -court in the summer months amounts to about 18,000 per week. The supply by the eotmty of Kent and western division of Middle sex of the north and nortli-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 at 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.

The establishment of the above railway will effect twe great and important objects :—first, the supply of the metropolis and its vicinity with coal fully twenty per cent. cheaper than by the pre sent mode of transit : secondly, by the exclusion of passenger traffic to diminish the risk of accidents. The Board of Trade, in reference to the latter, have in their report upon the subject, laid great stress on the importance of separating the passenger from goods trains ; and the Select Committee on the Coal Trade recommend that every means of promoting a new supply of coal should be encouraged. The existing lines from the north being already crowded to excess with trains of every class, travelling at velocities varying from fifteen to fifty miles per hour, and new railways being almost daily projected as feeders to the great trunk lines, the already prodigious traffic on those lines must be still further augmented; so that it may be truly assumed, that the addition thereto of several millions of tons of coals and goods is out of the question. It, therefore, becomes manifestly necessary, with a view to public convenience, and to supply the metropolis and the intermediate districts with coals from the coal fields in the north (from which at present the greater proportion is supplied) that an independent railway, devoted exclusively to the conveyance of coals and goods at a moderate and regular speed, should be constructed from Newcastle to London. It is, therefore, intended to confine this railway to carriage of coals and goods only ; and it is ascertained that the conveyance by railway of large quantities, for long distances, at a moderate speed, and at comparatively low rates, will be as profitable as the carriage of passengers at a greater velocity, The actual ex perienco of the London and Birmingham Railway affords a safe ground for calculation; the expenses on that line for the year 1844 being 1,472/. p ,r 4 mile; at the same rate per mile, 2,000,000 tons of coal annually may be 0 . rought the entire distance horn Newcastle; this quantity is about one-half of the present importaticn from London, making on the average from 13,000 to 14,000 tone daily. The extreme fluctuations to which the price of coal is subject from irregularity in the supply, dependent as it is on the uncer tainty of the winds and weather, has hitherto operated against the estabishnient of manufactories on the banks of the Thames. From the same cause, also, London has, at times narrowly escaped total darkness, the gas works not being able to obtain their regular supply of coals. In the course of the last five years the prices of household coal, on the Coal Exchange, have fluctuated between I4s. 6d. to 275. per ton, and ►ast winter the price rose even to 355. per ten ; the high prices always occurring at a season when the scarcity, and consequently increased price of coal, is most distress ing to the poor. The removal of the colliers from the Pool is an important con, sideration, as it will necessarily render the navigation of the Thames safer for all other vessels: and it is no valid objection to this undertaking, that it will supersede, in a great measure the employment of collier ships, because it is now ascertained, be yond all doubt, that coals can be brought to London by railway at 20 per cent less than those seaborne ; and, therefore, London will be supplied from Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and South Wales, unless the present project, or one offering equal advantages to the northern coal.owners, in their certain and fast approaching competition with the Infant collieries, be carried into effect. In addition to the through traffic, accommodation will be afforded . to the intermediate districts for the conveyance of coals and goods, which will materially increase the revenue of the Company. The estimated cost of the line is 5,000,0001, and the traffic, in coals alone, will give a net return of 10 per cent, It is proposed to raise the required capital in 200,000 shares of 251. each ; deposit 21. 12s. 6d. per share, the subsequent calls to be made in the usual way. ' The customary clauses will be inserted in the Act, limiting the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their respective shares. • Interest, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum will be allowed on all calls between the passing of the Act and the opening of tha railway, Prospectuses, with fuller information and in detail, together with Forms of Application, may be obtained on applying to the.

N EWCASTLE AND LONDON COAL• RAILWAY. - The Committee of Management, with the view of enabling re sponsible parties (desirous to participate in the allotment) to secure; at least some shares in this great undertaking, will permit the pay ment of a preliminary deposit of 10s. 6d. per share previous to ap-: plication being made; and will guarantee that the parties so paying shall have shares allotted them, to at least the number upon which the sum paid by them as a preliminary deposit shall cover the full; deposit of 21. 12s. 6d. They, however, reserve to themselves the right of limiting this .privilege to the extent of 100 shares, if a larger number should be applied for, or even of refusing it, in cases where they may find on inquiry that the applicant is not in their. judgment eligible to be a shareholder; in such cases the deposit will be immediately returned ; nor will this privilege be exte n d e d beyond the deposition of 100,000 shares, after which the bailker of the Company will receive instructionsto refuse further prelimi nary deposits. The preliminary de; rits must be paid to the bankers of thi Company, who will furnish a receipt for the same. The Conti mittee caution the public not to negotiate such receipts, as their undertaking to supply the shares holds good only so far as ti applicants, upon their references being examined into, prove to:. spectable and responsible. They particularly request that eacii applicant for shares who avails himself of this privilege will state, in his application, the amount of the deposit he has paid, and the number of the bankers' receipt.
