This line will pass in a direct course from Tunbridge, via Paddock Wood (thus connecting itself with Maidstone) through the parishes of Brenchley, Ilorsmonden, Goudhurst, Cranbrook, Benenden, Hawkhurst, Sandhurst, Rolvenden, Newendon, Nerthiam, Peas mar sh, Beckley, Iden, and I'layden, to the town and harbour of Rye, and it will embrace a lar..e extent of adjacent country, at pre sent unprovided with, and much requiring, the admitted advantages of railway transit. The length of the line will be about 25 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. Tile saving of distance to Rye, and all the other places embraced by this llue,will be considerable. Tho capital required is estimated not to exceed 500,000/. 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 dminctieg 401. per cent. for working ex penses, would leave a large per centage upon the invested capital. That line was rejected on the ground that the best direction had not been selected, but with an intimation that the port of Rye was en titled to a direct railway communication with the interior of the country, in the best direction towards London. The preseut scheme has been based upon this intimation, taking advantage of the merits and defects which appeared upon that investigation, and as it em braces a more populous and productive country, and passes in a more direct line to London, and will have the benefit of better access to ether and more numerous lines, the sources of traffic are consider ably increased, and there is every reason to believe, from what passed during the last session, that the present plan will be favourably enter tained 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 peint at which it can avail itself of the existing and contemplated lines. The imports of Rye, partioularly coals, with lime and other ma nures, are of great importance to the country through which this line will pass, and a cheaper and better mode of transit will much increase the demand for them, and give the opportunity of great improvement in the cultivation of the adjacent country. A railway through the heart of the, chief hop district or 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 route to Paris and to other parts of the Continent, and there can be no doubt if a direct railway should be madlto Rye, with a moderate improve ment in the harbour, that it would be much adopted, particularly as a national and commercial communication wills France, and by per sons travelling on business.

D UDLEY and BIRMINGHAM JUNCTION RAILWAY, Cwilb:ning the broad and narrow gauges, in continuation of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line. Capital 200,0001., in 8,4J00 Shares of 251. each. Deposit 21. 10s. per Share. (Provisionally Registered.) This line will commence at the station of the. Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, at Dudley, and run into the line of the Grand Junction Company near to Birmingham. It will traverse or pass in the immediate vicinity of the following populous manu facturing towns and places, viz., Great Bridge, Swan Village, Old • bury, West Bromwich, llandsworth,. and Smethwick, and In its course it afford railway accommodation to a manufacturing and mining population of upwards of a quarter of a million. The naives of the places of the proposed termini, and the above indication of the course of the intoided line, must abundantly sa tisfy every one that it presents the certainty of a lucrative traffic both in goods and in passengers. It is almost unnecessary to speak furtlur o( so plain a necessity as that of railway accommodation for such a distlict. The wonder would be that the proposed line had not been esta blish d rang before, were it not ter. one very obvious and very poten tial reason to which it is owing that this rich district has hitherto been suffered "fo remain destitute of railway accommodation. The district has been up to this time deprived of the benefits of railway means of transit because it was one of the richest farms of. the Birmingham Canal Company ; and it is to overcome the depressing influence of such a destitution that the present plan has been pro jected. The intended line will not interfere with any existing line of railway, but it will materially extend the usefulness of the several lines about to be connected with Dudley, and in particular that great mining district trunk line, the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver hampton Railway, as also the Shrewsbury and Swint Staffordshire Junction; besides, it will afford to the populous districts around Dudley and Birmingh:an the direct benefits of fair and liberal corn petition in passenger conveyance and in the transit of their industrial prolucts to their Jincipal market. The number of omnibuses, coaches, and swift canal packet-boats continually travelling between the termini, afford the stronge st as surance of the prospect of a lar. e passenger traffic : while the bulky nature and vast extent of the mining and in , nufacturing produce of this well-known district equally vouch for that in goods ; and the whole leaves no doubt but that the financial returns of such an un dertaking must yield an ample remuneration for the capital ex pended. In an engineering point of view, it has been ascertained, by careful surveys, that the line is highly favourable, and presents not the slightest difficulty, so that altogether there is probably no lime of rail way now before the public so much entitled in every way to the favourable consideration of the parties locally interested, or of capitalists in general. The former have already evinced the warmest ' interest in the proposed line ; and indeed it is mainly owing to urgent local suggestions that the projected railway has been under taken. No further call (beyond the deposit) will be made until the Act shad be obtained ; and power will be applied for in much Act to allow latercst at four per cent. per annum on the deposits and calls from the date of each payment until the opening of the line. An Influential Provisional Committee will be published in a few days. Applications for shares may be addessed to Mr. F. T.

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 ports and 'towns of Southampton, Gosport, Portsm ou th, an d Bristol ; and, by means of the Bristol and Birmingham Rail wa y, w ith Gloucester, Worcester, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and the north of England. From its prolimity to the Continent, the port of Dover will always be the most accessible point of the English coast; au 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, 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 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 then. of 1,500,000/., 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, et* 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 meters 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 spon the narrow gauge between the south-eastern coast, and Bristol and the western, northern, and mid land counties. The like will commence at the terminus of the South-Eastern Rail way at Reigate, proceed thence by Dorkin;', Godalming, Farnham, and Odiham to the Basingstoke station, en 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 Somersetshire 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. 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 oeuveyance of their produce No the great Hop-fair at Wcyhill. 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, Ilithton, 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 whisk will lee 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 farther west, the present line will connect Dover' towards the south, with Southampton (the packet station for the East and West Indies, &c.), Gosport, and f ertsmouth, and towards the north, with Cheltenham, Gloucester, Worcester. Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool, alas with Shrewsbury, Chester, and Holyhead, and in fact with the whole of North and South Wales. At Basingstoke, also, this line wIl join the proposed London, Salis bury, and Yeovil Railway, and throw open to Dover and the south eastern counties the populous aed Wealthy cities of Salisbury and Exeter, the rich agricultural counties of Wilts, Dorset, Somerset, and Devon, the p,rts 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 wi I confer can - tot 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 channel with the Straits of Dover and the Downs, pro viding a perfect line for telegraphic communication, and securing to them the whole of the trade betweee. the south-east of England and the west and south of Ireland, it seem s diffi cu lt, cons id e ring 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 Legislat ure f or the first time admitted that princip'e of competition with ex i s ti ng i nteres t s 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 resu't that the promoters of the present undertaking invite attention to one distinguishing feature it contains, via., that by the construction of the line from Bristol t.. Basingstoke, the Box Tnnnel will be avoided, and a new and indepet.dent 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-brbige, 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 Company to have the construction o f th a t por ti o n between Reigate and Dorking, for which plane have been d epos it e d by the South - Eastern Company)—the country through which it passes does not present any engineering difficulties o f momen t, nor will any resi dential or ornamental property interfered with except under an hxperative necessity. be nearly 110 miles (assu min g this A reserve of shares will be made for landowners on the line, and the Committee also retain to the mselves the powe r to vary the course of the line with reference to any arran ge ments with existing interests and projected lines that may b e con , idere d a dvantageous to the shareholders.

The object of this undertaking is to form a direct communication between the important town or Carmarthen and the rich mineral dis tricts in the south and east of the county, and to improve the naviga gation ofthe river Towy by erecting a dock or shipping-place at et* near Carmarthen. The projected line will join the South Wales, Welsh Midland, and Great North and South Wales Railways at Carmarthen, and will be connected with the branch of the Llanelly Railway already con ' structcd to the Cross Hands on the Great Mountain. It will thus I unite several important railways, and afford ready means of supply ing coal and lime to very extensive districts, the costs of conveying which will be less than the toll payable on the present roads. The southern terminus of the Great North and South Wales Rail way is at Cartnarthen, and no provision is made by the promoters for any communication by it with the coal and limo fields. These pro ducts, before they are conveyed from Carmarthen, mint first be brought to that town. The South Wales and Welsh Midland Railways describe a consider able circuit in communicating with the heart of the minor al districts. The distance from Carmarthen by each of these lines to the Great ',Mountain will he about twenty-five miles ; the distance by the line now proposed will not exceed twelve. It Is therefore evident that the immense traffic In coal anti lime between Carmarthen and the mineral districts must he carried on by the intended railway. A branch from Carmarthen to the Towy at Blackpool will he about two miles long, and another branch in the Gwendraeth Vale will be the same length ; thus making the whole length of the proposed rail way sixteon miles. The line will follow the Vale of Towy as far as Cappeldewy, and then diverge, by way of Porthyrhyd and the Man sell's Arms, to the coal districts. In consequence of the peculiar features of the country, the pro posed line can meet with opposition from no other scheme, as the bold chain of hills running from east to west to the south of the Towy are quite impracticable at all other points between Llandilo and the sea, a distance of twenty-five miles. This line will follow the only valley intersecting the hills, which presents the most striking facilities for constructing a railway along it, as none of the gradients will exceed 1 in 100, and there will be no occasion for any tunnelling. The capital required to construct a railway and to effect the im provement of the river will be 140,0001. Calculations have been made of the tonnage carried along the pre sent roads, and an ample remuneration for the capital invested w•uld be secured even without increased trade. east of the county; and the latter line will open communication with Cardiganshire. All these extensive districts are now _ c ‘f a i n dl i :Ln r d t a cV to C 711 '1 : west, Nort h - i l i t o n r d t h, Sout hattd The the whole of Wales RSanou,tpaylsVraaledttelVfreloshn, mainly supplied with coal and lime from the vicinity of Ca rmar th en. staple commodities is at present very consider able: as many as I, 000 tons of lime have passed i n one day through a single gate on ono of the great thoroughfares i n t o C armarthen. The traffic In these With the facility of conveyance afforded by railways, a dd e d t o th e large extent of country which will be open e d by means o f t h e li nes alluded to, this traffic will be Immensely in crea s e d, The project was first mooted about ten years ago. A meeting was held at Carmarthen, attended by a large and influential body of gentry, landowners, and merchants. Resolutions were then unani mously adopted approving of the scheme, pointing out its advantage to the country and its value as a safe investment. Surveys of the line were afterwards made, which proved that the gradients were easy, and that the country was free *can engineering difficulties. Some objections, however, arose, which led to the temporary aban donment of the undertaking; these difficulties caanot again occur. A large body of influential persons have already signified their appro bation of the scheme. It will meet with the strenuous support of all the mineral interests in the localities referred to ; and the authori ties, merchants, and influential residents of Carmarthen, will afford every support to carry out an undertaking so beneficial to the inte rests of the town and neighbourhood. The Earl of Cawdor and the other principal landowners on the pro po.ed line have been consulted, and their consents and approbation have been obtained. The corporation of Carmarthen has just had a careful survey of the river made, with a view of effecting the improvements in its na vigation now proposed ; and the engineer employed has prepared an able report and supplied an estimate of the expense. It appears suf ficiently evident that, with the outlay of a comparatively small sum of money, Carmarthen may be rendered a safe port, easily accessible to ships of very considerable tonnage, even at neap tides. The great depth of water In Black Pool at ebb tide (24 feet) sup plies all the requisites of a wet dock. A railway from the town to that mace or a cut to avoid the intermediate shoals and sinuosities will remove all difficulty to the navigation of the river, and with either of these facilities a very large export trade will he iasnred in coal and other produce of the country. In effecting these improve ments due regard will in every instance he paid. to the interests and wishes of the town. Skould it be considered preferable to improve the course of the river, the necessity for constructing the branch railway to Black Pool will be obviated, and the consequent outlay saved. Extensive ironworks are now at work in the Gwendraeth Vale, and others on a large scale are about to be erected in the Vale of Ammon. The stores of coal and lime are inexhaustible : several important Collieries have been lately opeued, and are now ready to pour their teeming wealth into the market, but a want of commu nication with the distant districts of this and the adjoining counties prevents the proprietors reaping the fruit of their enterprise. The lb a now proposed, formi ng a junct i on at Carmarthen with the three great tnk lines, will a ff ord the accommodation so much desired ru Preparations have been made so as to insure compliance with the standing orders in time to apply for an Act in the ensuing Session. The course to be adopted will depend upon the report of the Govern ment Commissioners. In order that every attention may he sceured to local interests, arrangements are now being made to add the names of ether gentle men of property in the county to the provisional committee., The liability of the shareholders until the act is obtained wit be limited to the amount of deposits, and 'after incorporation to the amount of their subscriptions. Power will ho taken in the Bill to allow interest at 41. per cent. per annum on all Deposits and Cans from the time ofpayment until the opening of the line. Prosi)ectuses and Plans mar be obtained from, and applications for Shares to be made to the s Solicitors a.ut Secretary, and the follow ing Brokers, Messrs. Price and Brown, Change-alley, London.

Lombard-street Nottingham—Samuel Smith and Co. Borten-upon-Trent—Burton, Uttoxeter, and Ashbourx _ Union Bank , Stafford—Messrs. Stevenson, Salt, and Co. The proposed railway is intended to commence on the Trent ?alley Railway near Stafford, and proceeding thence in 'au easterly lirection, to pass through, or near to, Tixall, Haywood, Colwich, and &bbott'e Bromley, to the rapidly-increasing town of Burton-upon- Trent, where it will run into the Birmingham and Derby Railway, forming the shortest and best practicable route from Stafford to Derby. Leaving the Birmingham and Derby Railway at Burton upon-Trent, it will proceed along the valley of the Trent by Itepton, Swarkestone, and Shardlow, to the Midland Counties Railway at the point where that railway forms a junction with the Derby and Not tingham Railway; and thus, by means of these and other railways in progress, form a complete line of railway communication between the central towns of Stafford, Derby, Nottingham, Lincoln, Leices ter, Peterborough, and Boston, on the east, and Shrewsbury, Ches ter, and Holyhead, North Wales, and Ireland, on the west. This railway will, therefore, form the only connecting link re quired In the great chain of railway communication from east and west through the heart of the kingdort, uniting the shores of the German Ocean on the east with those ofthe Irish Sea OR the west, and traversing in Its course the rich agricultural districts of the eastern, midland, and western counties, and accommodating the Important, and populous manufacturing towns of Stafford, Derby, Nottingham, Lei cester, and Shrewsbury. But another most important advantage that will result from the formation of this line will consist in the fact of its affording, in connexion with the proposed South Union, or Manchester and Potteries Railway, by far the shortest and best route between Derby, Nottingham, Newark, Lincoln, Peterborough, Leicester, and Loughborough, and the extensive and pepulous dis tricts of the Staffordshire Potteries, Macclesfield, Stockport, and Manchester. By the proposed line the distance between Nottingham and Derby and Manchester will be at least from 15 to 20 miles less tlitn by the present circuitous route by Sheffield. The traffic on this line must necessarily be equal, if not superior, to that of any line in the district. Th 6 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 600,0001., in shares 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 i➢ obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription; and the usual power will be taken to allow interest at four per cent. from the time of payment upon each call until the opening of the line. The Subscribers' Agreement and the Parliamentary Contract must he executed when the hankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip cer tificates, of which 14 days' notice will be given ; and tiie deposits paid by any party making default in the execution of those deeds will be forfeited.
