The mums of the line 'will be from the junction of the eastern counties, the Harwich and the Ipswich Railway at Colchester, by or near Earl Coins, Coggleshall, Braintree, Dan mow, BishoprStortford, Widford, Ware, Hertford, liatleld, St. Alban's, Watford, Riekmans worth, Cheneys, Amershatu,' lleaconsfield, High Wycombe, Great Marlow, Henley-on-Thames, to Reading, forming a junction with other lines to Southampton and Portsmouth. The southern exten sion branches off from the main line at Rickmansworth, to Uxbridge, Upton, and Windsor. The line will, in its course, run directly through seventeen market towns, containing together a population of 110,000 inhabitants, and will, within three miles of its coarse, have a population of more than 300.000 inhabitants; and owing to the peculiar angle it makes with other railways, it will, jointly, with the NOrthern and Eastern, be the nearest route from Braintree and Dunmew to London ' • and, by the London and York and this lin e , th e neares t f rom H e rtford and St. Alban's to London ; and the nearest route, by this line and the Lon don and Birmingham, from Amersham, Wycombe, and Marlow to London, besides saving from ten to forty miles in the cross distancre of the whole towns in the Interior, and the several ports. Atone end of this line are four sea-ports and extensive docks. 'viz., Maldon, Colchester, Ilarwich, and Ipswich: From Maldon, there are upwards of 100,000 quarters of corn and seed annually exported, ex clusive of home 'consumption ; in addition, there Is great trade in timber, stone, slate, lime, chalk, and oil-cake, all of which will be brought on this line, and open a direct communication from these ports to the malting districts of Newport, Bishop-Stortford, Ware, and llertford. c 1 0 114 14.

It will commence at Liverpool, thin anda proc eed along the Liverpool and Manchester Railway so wi short distance of the Whiston Inclined Plane, and thenee branch off, in a south-easterly direction, through W§Trifieton, Knutsford, and C on gleton to Leek (there join in g the Meneheeter and Rugby Rail way), and from thence through Ashbourne to DerbY, The whole length of the proposed line will be about sixty-six miles. It will be seen by reference to the snap that this importa unlin ed of railway will form the shortest route from!Liverpoel to Lond, effect a direct chain of communication between Liveypeol and Derby, and will thence, by means of the Midlands and other rallwefs, open an unin terrupted route to the more eastern counties, and afford a complete midland communication between the eastern and western parts of the kigdom and the important inrmediate manufecturing districts.

This important line will commence at Brighton, and (passing through or contiguous to the towns of Steyuing, Petworth, Mid hurat, Petersileld and Alresford) will join at the Andover Road sta tion of the South-Western Railway, the proposed Southampton Manchester and Oxford Junction. An arrangement has been entered into with the latter Company, and it is proposed by means of their projected line, that the Brighton and Cheltenham Railway shall proceed through Hunger ford to Swindon. From Peterstield a sho t branch will be made to Chichester where, nearly at the same point of junction, the London and Ports mouth direct will intersect the line in its way to Portsmouth. From Swindon it is proposed to proceed by the Manchester and ore existing and W Southampton Railway to Chelt nhatn, and the North of England bs t - he the ig Derb y shire, a h l i i r n e es a . nd Staff o rdshire Junction, or On reference to the map, it will be seen t hat the p rimary object contemplated rcesten to be obtained by the formation of this line will be the immediate connexion of the northern, western, and the whole of the manufac turing counties, and North and South Wales , w i t h the southern coast and the populous and fashionable towns of Bright on, Hastings, and Dover. It is unnecessary to observe on the daily Increasing traffic between Brighton and Dieppe, which the railroad from the latter place to Rouen, and thence to Paris, must greatly augment; thus, by means of the projected line, a direct communication with France, either from Brighton or Dover, will be opened with the northern ceuntiea of England. It is obvious that with these advantages the traffic must neces sarily be large, the line passing through the centre of Sussex, con taining a population of about 300,000, at present almost devoid if railway accommodation. Power will he applied for in the Act to increase the capital, f necessary, to alter the line, or to make such deviations or branches therefrom as maybe deemed necessary ; also for the purposes of amal gamation with other Companies, should the same be found desirable. The Company reserves to itself the option of adopting the broad or narrow gauge, or the principle of atmospheric traction, if preferable. No Maher call beyond the deposit will be made until the let shall be obtained. In tho allotment of shares, preference will be given to parties locally interested, and to the shareholders in the lines with whisk this Company will be connected. Application for shares may be made to the Secretary, and to the following Sharebrokers, of whom prospectuses, with maps of the line, may be obtained:—London—Messrs.

In compliance with the suggestion of the Committee of the House of Lords (the measure having previously received the sanction of the Board of Trade, and the approval of the House of Commons), a fur ther and most accurate survey of the whole line of country traversed between Plymouth and Falmouth has been determined upon, and Mr. Brunel has been instructed to carry out their Lordships' recoin mendation. The construction of a line from or near Launceston, by way of Cre dlton to Exeter, forming a part of the North Devon scheme, by which it is proposed to give railway accommodation to the northern and central parts of that county, has rendered It most desirable that a junction should be effected between the Cornwa'l Railway and North Devon line ; Mr. Brunel has therefore been instructed to extend his survey with a view to effect this junction, and to afford direct com munication with Exeter and the North of Devon. By the proposed plan the following objects will be obtained—a continuous line of railway from Penzance and Falmouth to Ply mouth, and thence by the South Devon line to Exeter. A direct line by way of Launceston and Creditou to Exeter. From Lemma: ton a line through Tavistock to Plymouth, and by the Ncatth Railway a line through Barnstaple and South to Wu the Bristol ant Exeter line at Tiverton and Tsamtml.

Dover 3,s at present the chief port of embarkation for Calais, Boulogne, Ostend, and other continental towns, and the vast numbers Already resorting there both on business and pleasure, will be im measurably increased when the railways of France, Belgium, Hol land, and Ot.pailay are fully brought into operation. In addition to which, the Government Commissioners having iielectod over as a Harbour of Refuge, and recommended the outlay WA' 1 of 1 4 500,000 e., it mullet fall of becoming a place of the greatest resort for the shipping and commercial interest,' of the eouas try, and perhaps the most important town on the southern coast. In every point of view, therefore, whether for national socurit, or for travelling excursions, or the invaluable interests of our shipping and commerce, the paramount importance of a cheaper, more COlWO nioit, and accelerated intercourse between this great port and all parts of the kingdom, must be sufficiently obvious. This the pro moters fully anticipate will be attained by the proposed sallwaY, 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 lise will commence at the terminus of the S4th-Eastern Rail way at Reigate, proceed thence by Dorking; Godalming, Farnham. and Odiham to the Basingstoke station, on the South-Western Rail wax. It will then proceed by Andover towards Deiftes ' Trow bridge, and Bradford, with a branch to Bath, and pursuing its course through the Somersetshire coal-field, throwing off a branch towards Radstock in the heart of the collieries, terminate in ajunction with the Bristol and Birmingham Railway at Bristol. By its course through Dorking, Godahning,, Farnham, and Odi, ham, 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 riCCOllllllodaiioll and facilities for travelling which will be accomplished by this and the proposed railway from Reading. By its intersection of the South-11 esters Railway at Basingstoke, and or the proposed Jtanchester and Southampton Railway further west, the present line will connect Dover towards the south, Is ith Southampton (the packet station for the East and West Indies, &e.), Gosport, and Fortamouth, 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, Sabo t bury, and Yeovil Railway, and th row open to D over an d t h e th eastern counties the populous an d wea l t h y c i t i es of Salisbnr and Exeter, the rich agricultural counti es o f Wil ts, Dorset, Sons and Devon, the ports of Plymouth, Devonport, and Falmouth, 'and the mineral regions of Cornwall. T. Devizes, Trowbridge, Bradford, and Bath, and the other towns in the vicinity of its course, the benefit :which this line will coffer camot be too highly estimated; to the coal districts of Somerset shire it will open large and constant markets both in Bristol and to the south and east, while to the inhabitants of Bristol especially, con necting its chz.nnel wills the Straits of Dover and the Downs, pro, viding a perfect line for telegraphic communication, and securing to them the *hole of the trade between the south-east of England and the west and south of Ireland, it seems difficult, considering the enor mous traffic which must necessarily flow to that city, to conceive a project more deserving of their cordial support. In the memorable Parliamentary contest last session between two great rival companies, the Legislature for the first time adasitted i that princip7e of competition with existing interests which was claimed by the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company for the protection and benefit of the public ; and it is with no fear of the result that the promoters of the present undertaking invite attention to one distinguishing feature It contains, viz., that by the construction of the line from Bristol to 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 no narrow gauge than by the devious course of the Great Western, lode pendenUy 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 at Paddington. . In length the proposed line will be nearly 110 miles (assuming t Company to have the construction of that portion between Rid and Dorking, for which plans have been deposited by the Ai, Eastern Company)—tha country through which It passes doe's wt . present any engineering difficulties of moment, nor will any Pgi dential or ornamental property be Interfered with except under all 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 courks of the line with reference to any arrangements with existing interests and projected lines that may be considered advantageous to tee shareholders. The capital proposed to be raised is 1,500,0001., in 75,000 shares 201. each, with a deposit of 2/. 2s. per share, to be paid on allot Power will be taken by the Act to allow interest, at 41. per L per annum, upon all deposits and subscriptions until the opening of the line, and no subscriber shall be answerable for more than amount of his deposit until the Act has been obtained, and then 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 thedeposits. Applications for shares must be addressed to the Secretary, at Offices of the Company, N 0.12, Gray's Inn place, only; but no op 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.
