'? ley-street THE s tT3V, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 13, 1845 will be entire!), obviated, and manufacturers and merchants in most parts of the country, west and north, or south, will be thus en abled to forward and receive goods direct from and to Dever and Folkstone, 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 Railway, would be abortive; but the published statements of that Company show that the traffic ex. ceeds 8,000/. 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 Folken►tone, 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 in railway carriages,must begreatly 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 can. sidered. With these facts before them, the promoters have 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.

The main line to be laid down by the Company will be considerably less than 100 miles, throughout which the strongest encouragement and support have been manifested towards this railway by the landed 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. mercial 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 map of the country, and they will be forcibly illustrated by the objects to be attaincd by this Company. This line is Intended 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, Petvsey, Burbage, ShslLorne, West Woodhay, High Clere, and Overton, on to Basingstoke, where it will unite with the Smith Western Railway, and thus from the western counties the distance will be several miles shorter to the metropolis than by any other existing line It will then, by means of the South Western Railway, proceed on to near Farnborough (a distance of fourteen miles) whence, leaving Farnham to the south, it will pass onward to Ashe, Guildford, Gomshall, and Dorking to Riegate, where it will unite with the South Eastern and Dover Railway—(the latter, eighteen miles from Guildford to Reigate will in all probability be constructed by the wprhi n vc railways another Company.) htiwaliwgiclualol7uiroasted.ovlirntaelnawytibi already ete:hsuortiemsattodanttiiehtcsdtee constructed es a v y aeo t rgr h ar l r e t ac u to g pm h upb t a h l ni the ci lines of many of projected—th e esint convenience,e r junction sted ~,uo . .tf ducing an immense traffic, that must stream from Ireland—from 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 whi c h p o i nt to the formation . of this railw a y as a great d esi deratum, as well also as to form a direct communicatio n with Franco, b Eelgium, and th e con . townsthis railw a y w i ll i tinent generally.

PROSPECTUS. The objects intended to be accomplished by this undertaking are 1. The supply of local railway accommodation to the important districts embraced by the line. 2. The benent of railway communication with the metropolis to a district of country upwards of 50 miles in length at present unprovided with that accommodation. 3. The completion of the chain of railway communication between the river Severn and the southern and western counties, and the north-eastern districts of the kingdom and the river Humber, and Its ports, including that of Hull. Commencing at the town of Northampton, in conjunction with the London and Birmingham, and the lines of railway proposed to con- I verge at that town from Cheltenham, and the west from Worcester I 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 Uppingham, 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 fork, and proceed on the one hand in a northerly direction to the flourishing port of Gainsborough, and on the other by a north-eastern course to the market town of Market Raisen, on the rising port of Great Grimsby. By an union with the Sheffield and Great Grimsby Junction Rail way at Market Raisen, 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 sources 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 western districts of the country, and, in addition, it will secure the important and increasing local traffic between that town and Market Raisen and Lincoln. _ _ From Gainsborough, the termini of several railways from the north and north-west, this line will carry the traffic to Lincoln, its county town. The traffic from Hull to the metropolis, and also to the west, will enter upon this line at Market Itaisen, and proceed thereon to Lincoln. . from Lincoln the whole of the traffic passing to the west and the intermediate towns must pass over this line. In the event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not obtaining their Bill, then the traffic from Lincoln to the south and west, and also the metropolis, will pass along this line of railway ; the former the whole distance, and the latter at any event to Gran tham, a distance of about twenty-five miles ; and should the London and York Company not succeed, such traffic will proceed on to Ket tering or Northampton. The entire distri'd between Grantham and Kettering, a distance of more than forty miles, and including the market towns of Oakham 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 peting schemes passing that town from Manchester and Leicester to London which shall be successtin 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 line 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.

The principal object this Co mpg my has in view is, the completion of a line of railway throughout t he entire south-Western and Eastern Coasts of England, and it is we 11 known that coast lines of railway invariably meet with the sup po A of Government, and seldom has any Company come before the. F üblic with objects which are so mani festly to the interest of the eY.c( ntive cordially to support. The coast line will be cow pl. ted thus, by commencing at Dover, and using the South-Eastern tin a to a point on it beyond Folkstona, near to Newington, from theme s it will proceed to the populous towns and watering places of Sa idgate, Hythe, Dymchurch, New Romney, and Lydd, and thence on to Rye; at Rye it will join the branch m Inch the South-Eastern Company have an Act for making from—Ashford (via Rye) to Hastings ; but should the South-Eastern Con !pally - decline to make this branch, this Company will then cc nt irate their line on to Hastings, and thereby forming a junction w ith the Brighton and Hastings Rail way, effect the object of the 0 itipany, viz., an entire and unbroken chain of Coast Railway fro( n Dover to Brighton, Portsmouth, Southampton, Poole, Dorchcst r, Exeter, Plymouth, and Falmouth. The advantages which such a line presents are too numerous and apparent to need enumeration . The traffic tables, got up with infinite labour and care by the Brighton and Ilastings Coml any, show a very large remuneration on the capital invested in, that railway, and whatever applies to that iine of railway, applies with:egt *al, if not greater force, to a continua tion line from Hastings. to Dovel'. ‘. . To the pre-eminently- important agricultural district of Romney Marsh, this line Offers advantages which it was most unduly deprived of by the contention, between the London . and Brighton and the Soutl..-Eastern Cowponies, which resulted in the interest of the Lon don and Brighton flopping sudden; y in a terminus at Hastings ; and, on the other hand, the South-Eastern carrying a branch from Ashford to Hastings, thus leaving the whole of Romney Marsh entirely un provided with a speedy and ready mode of transit for the immense produce of that valuable district, as well to th. east as to the west, which are alike supplied by it wi th cattle. By this line the large and wealthy graziers of the Marsh will be enabled to effect the object they have had so long in view, of send ing their stock at once, in good con dition, speedily and cheaply to at d from the London and other mar kets. The line is one of singular n. cilities of construction, the whole of the N arsh being perfectly good and sound ground for railway purposes, and the entire absence of interposing difficulties which occur in nearly every other line of railway will rem/ er this one comparatively cheap in its construction. The inhabitants of Sandgate, Bi irmarsh, Hythe, New Romney, Lyttd, and Rye, have sprung forwat d most z ealously to support this company, as affording them facilities they are so justly entitled, from their position, to demand. A most powerful company has a 'me before the public for making a railway from Cheltenham to lit ighton, by means of which line, and others before enumerated, a Alirect and expeditious course is opened between the whole of the eastern, western, and midland, ports of England, and the importan t mercantile and naval stations on the south coast of England. • From the estimates prepared, it is confidently anticipated that the whole of the proposed capital will t tot be required. The line will be twenty miles in.. length, but If the South-Eastern Company do not carry out so mi tch of their Ashford and Hastings branch as is between ll ,stings and Rye, the line will be then twenty six miles in length. Until an Act of Parliament can. be obtained, the affairs of this company will be under the contr. A of a board of Managing Direc tors, to whom power is given to al' lot the shares, and to apply the funds of the Company in paymei St of all expenses incurred in its formation, and in the preparation of plans and sections to be sub mitted to Parliament. ' ' ' ....... Power will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime is he! eby given to the managing directory above, to alter or vary the proposed capital either before or aftt:r allotment, and to rats; any additional capital, to abandon any part of tl.e line, t o ma k e b ranch w lines, docks, piers, `wharfs, or jetto s, or enter into any arrangemen t with any other Company or Comps pies, and also to nominate the first directors of the Company, —Applications for shares, plans, I. rospectuses, and detailed informa tion, may be made at the offices of ,the Company, No. 3, Aldermans'- walk, City, London; at the offices of the Company's solicitors, Messrs. a Beceett, Son, and Sympson, 7, Golden-square, London; Mr. G.

Messrs. /Senn, Rugby William Tibbits, Esq., Stratford-on-Avon Anthony Sproule, Esq., Tewkesbury. BANKEas—Messrs. Rogers, Olding, and Co., Clement's-lane, London. SECRETARY —Henry Brookes, Esq. The proposed railway will commence at Rugby, on the London and Birmingham Railway, the terminus of the Midland Counties and Trent Valley Railways, and the point to which several other projected railways converge, and will proceed through or near to Leatnington, Warwick, Stratford-on-Avon, Evesham, Tewkesbury, and Cheltenham, to Gloucester. The length of the line will be about 56 miles. The advantages that will result from the construction of this line are numerous and highly important, and such as cannot fail to secure a very large amount of local and through traffic, and a highly-re munerative return upon the capital invested. By meals of existing and proposed railways, it will form a complete chain of railway com munication between the whole of the midland and north-eastern counties ofEngland, the populous cities and towns before-named, and the southern and western districts, and thus bring Leicester, Not tingham, Newark, Lincoln, Gainsborough, Great Grimsby, and Hull, into direct communication with the favourite and fashionable spas of Leamington and Cheltenham, the richly-productive and far-famed Yale of Evesham; and the seaports of Gloucester, Bristol, Plymouth, and Falmouth, and those of South Wales. The Inhabitants and visitors of the much-frequented watering places of Leamington and Cheltenham, will thus obtain a direct line between those resorts, instead of the present circuitous route through Birmingham, affording that facility of intercommunication which has long been ardently desired; and it will also afford the utmost fa cility of access to the innumerable visitors who, attracted as well by the beauty of the scenery as the memory of Shakspeare, annually resort to Stratford-on-Avon. To those passengers from the east and north-east, direct to Glou- Gloucester, the line from Tewkesbury, cutting off the angle of the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway to Cheltenham, will afford a great accommodation, and a saving in distance of at least eight miles, besides the delay of the stoppage at Cheltenham. At Tewkesbury it will also form a junction with the proposed line from that place to Malvern. affording the most direct communication to the numerous visitors to the magnificent scenery and invigorating atmosphere of the celebrated Malvern-hills. To the inhabitants of the ancient and populous borough of Tewkes bury, this portion of the proposed line will prove immensely advan tageous ; situated within ten miles of the important city and port 01 Gloucester, they have nevertheless to travel by the present railway route nearly twice that distance, an inconvenience which has already materially affected the trade, and prejudiced the interests of the town. The proposed line, running close to the town, will remove this great inconvenience, and restore its trade to its former state of prosperity. The value of this line to the city and port of Gloucester cannot be too highly estimated, as it will not only open to It immense sources of traffic from the whole of the eastern and north-eastern counties, but will very materially lessen the distance between it and Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire, making Gloucester still more securely the nearest and most accessible oatlet for the whole of that immensely productive manufacturing region , and it is impossible to conceive any project better calculated to advance the interests of Gloucester, than one capable of effecting that object. This line will also form an important junction between the London and Birmingham :and Midlands Railways, and the Bristol and Gloucester Railway, and constitute the highway for the traffic of the former, and of all the north-eastern railways, to the proposed Man chester and Southampton Railway at Cheltenham ; and the through traffic from the latter source alone is expected to be very great:, It will thus have the effect of connecting the ports of the eastern and north-eastern with those of the western and southern coasts ; of affording the most direct and convenient access from the north and east to the vast mineral regions of South Wales ; and of opening new markets for the rich products of the fertile valleys of the Avon and Severs, and the agi 'cultural districts of Warwickshire and Wor cestershire, in the manufacturing towns and ports of the north. The line will be easy of construction, traversing, as it does, through nearly its whole length, the valleys of the Avon and Severn. The towns through which it will run are very populous, and the country of the richest description ; and the local traffic will consequently be very great in addition to the through traffic, which on such a line must necessarily be very extensive. The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the pcwer to amalgamate with any other company as to the whole or any part of the line, and to vary or extend the line, and to increase or diminish the capital accordingly, if deemed expedient. The capital proposed to be raised is 1,000,6001., in shares of 201, upon which a deposit of 21. 2s. per share must be paid upon allot ment. The liability of the subscribers will be limited by the Act to the amount of their respective subscriptions to the capital stock, and power will be applied for in the Act to allow interest at the rate of 4/. per cent.per annum on the amount of the deposit, and upon the re spective calls, from the date of each payment until the opening of the line. The Subscribers' Agreement and the Parliamentary Contract will be required, to be duly executed when the bankers' receipts are ex changed for certificates of scrip, of which due notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by persons making default in due execution of the Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract within the time to be limited by such notice, will be absolutely forfeited. Forms of application for shares, prospectuses, and a map of the line, may be obtained from the Solicitors, or the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, 28, Essex-street, Strand, London, or from any of the undermentioned Sharebrokers ; but no application will be attended to unless accompanied by a reference to one of the Prov-- atonal Committee, the Solicitors, or a Banker.
