Rice and Thomas Hopkins, M.1.C.E.; and John Belcher, Esq. SECRETARY. This Company is formed for making a railway from Liverpool to Derby, and will, in conjunction with the Manchester and Rugby Direct, and London and Birmingham Railways, form the nearest • route from Liverpool to London. It will commence at Liverpool, and proceed along the Liverpool and Manchester Railway to within a short distance of the Whiston Inclined Plane, and thence branch off, in a south-easterly direction, through Warrington, Knutsford, and Congleton to Leek (there joining the Manchester 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 map that this important line of railway will form the shortest route fronniverpool to London, and effect a direct chain of communication between Liverpool and Derby, and will thence, by means of the Midlands and other railways, open an unin terrupted route to the more eastern counties, and afford a complete midland communication between the eastern and western parts of the kingdom and the important intermediate manufacturing districts. The most important feature in this railway is that it forms the shortest road from Liverpool to London. The distance by it, with the Manchester anal Rugby, and London and Birmingham, will be only 188 miles, whereas by the present route it is 210 miles, and by the Trent Valley Railway 200% miles ; effecting a saving of 22 miles in one instance, and 12% miles in the other. And as regards Liverpool and Derby, the whole distance between Liverpool and Derby will be reduced by this line to about 74 miles, thus decreasing the distance by any present existing railway, at least 46 miles; an advantage which carries in itself the conviction of the necessity there is for the proposed railway, in order to connect more immediately two such important towns, especially when these towns are but the fbci, as it were, for other railways from still more distant localities, as before adverted to. The distance also from Manchester to Leek (where the proposed railway will unite with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) will be about 30 miles, and from Leek to Derby about 264 miles, making the whole distance from Manchester to Derby only 66 1 ,4 miles ; and thus diminishing the distance by any present communi cation between those important towns by about 28 miles, an object most desirable to be attained, and of itself quite sufficient to recom mend a line of railway embracing such beneficial results. - . But great as these results most certainly will be, they are far out weighed by the very important consideration that, in conjunction with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway, It will also be the most direct route from Liverpool to London. The distance from Liverpool to Leek (the proposed point of junc tion with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) is 47% miles; from Leek to Rugby, according to the line as proposed by the Man. cheater and Rugby Direct Railway, 58 miles, and from Rugby to London 83 miles ; thus making the whole distance from Liverpool to London 188% miles, instead of 210, by the present route. With regard to the traffic and other details connected with the working of the line, it seems only necessary to revert to the great importance of the towns proposed to be brought into communication with each other, in order to convince the minds of all that the source of revenue thus derived will be immense. There are no engineering difficulties conneetcd with the forming of the line. The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share holders beyond the deposit now paid until the Act of Parliament is obtained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 4/. per cent interest on all calls. Applications for detailed prospectuses, maps, and shares, may he made to the Secretary, at th e offices, 28, Moorgate-street, London ; at Mr. Bethel's Offices, 78, King William-street, City, and at 22, Cross-street, Manchester, and the following Share brokers:—Messrs.

The course of the line - will be from the junction of the eastern counties, the Harw:ch and the Ipswich Railway at CAchester, by or near Earl Colne, Coggleshall, Braintree, Dunmow, Bishop-Stortford, Widford, Ware, Hertford, Hatleld, St. Alban's, Watford, Rickmans worth, Cheneys, Amerslrun, Beaconsfield, High Wycombe, Great Marlow, Henley-on-Thames, to Itcaling, 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 Dunmow to London ; and, 17 the London and York and this line, the nearest from Hertford and St. Alban's to London ; and the nearest route, by this line and the Lon don and Birmingham, trom Amersham, Wycombe, and Marlow to London, besides saving from ten to forty miles in the cross distance of the whole towns in the interior, and the several ports. Atone end of this line are four sea-ports and extensive docks, viz., Malden, Colchester, Harwich, and Ipswich. From Malden, 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 timbsr, 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 Hertford. Colchester and Ipswich have become most important ports, and need no remark; and Government has made. a grant for the construc tion of a Refuge Harbour at Harwich, and a great Packet Station is to be established there, which by this line will command the whole of the passengers and merchandise traffic from the Midland,lSouth, and the Western Districts, for the north of Europe. At the other termini of this line are Gosport, Portsmouth, and Southampton, the latter of which is rapidly becoming one of the most important ports in England. The line will open the only direct com munication from Southampton, and Portsmouth Dockyard, to the whole of the Midland and Eastern Counties; and communicate with five of the principal established railways in Eagland, viz., South- Western, Great Western, London and Birmingham, Northern and Eastern, and Eastern Counties, and will not be in opposition to either of them, but contribute to augment their respective trafilc. The whole line has been examined by the Company's Engineers, and presents no engineering difficulty. Powers will be applied for in the Bill, to allow interest at the rate of 4/. per cent. per annum, on all calls made from the passing of the Act until the.hpening of the line. The greatest portion of the capital is already sub Scribed for. Applications for plans, prospectuses, and shares, may be made to the Company's Solicitors, Local Agents, and the following Share brokers :—Messrs. Barclay, Allsop, and Mercier, Exchange-buildings, London; Messrs. Houghland and Leese, 51, King-street, Manchester; Morris Reynolds, Esq., Barnard-buildings, Liverpool ; Messrs.

This important line will commence at Brighton, and (passing through or contiguous to the towns of Steyning, Betworth, Mid hurst, Pettrstield and Alresford) will join at the Andover Road sta tion of the South-Western Railway, the proposed Southampton Manches'er 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 Petersfleld a sho• t branch will be made to Ch'ehester where, nearly at the same point of junction, the London and Ports mouth direct will intersect the line in its way to Portsmouth. From Sw.ndon it is proposel to proceed by the Manchester and Southampt. n Railway to Chelt sham, ant the North of England by the Derbyshire, Worcestershire and Staffordshire Junction, or other existing and contemplated lines. On reference to the map, it will be seen that the primary object 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, with the southern coast and the populous and fashionable towns of Brighton, 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 the:ace 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 counties 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 of railway accommodation. Power will 'he applied for in the Act to increase the capital,i f necessary, to alter the line, or to make such deviations or branches therefrom as may be 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 further call beyond the deposit will be made until the Act shall be obtained. In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to parties locally interested, and to the shareholders in the lines with which this Company will be connected. Application for shares may be made to the Secretary, and to the following Sharebrokers, of whom pros:lectuses, with mars 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 bas been determined upon, and Mr. Bnincl has been instructed to carry out their Lordships' recom mendation. The, construction of a line from or near Launceston, by way of Cre diton to Exeter, forming a part of the North Devon scheme, by which it is proposed to give railway accommodation to tile northern and central parts of that county, has rendered it most desirable that a junction should he effected between the Cornwall 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 Creditor to Exeter. From Launces ton a line through Tavistock to Plymouth, and by the North Devon Railway a line through Barnstaple and South MoHon to join the Bristol and Exeter line at Tiverton and Taunton. By the connexion which will thus be formed between the Cornwall Railway and the South Devon, North Devon, and West Cornwall Railways, the most complete and comprehensive rystem of railway communication will be provided for the west of England, giving the pultancieos in thestamouLit titie t i f ttsc of Cornwall and Devon.otito tiltlie principal towns and In the county of Cornwall the towns of PeilZaP ,.. !, St. Ives, Mara zion, Hoyle, Ctunborne, Redruth, Falmouth, l'enryn, Truro, St. Austell, Lostwithiel, Bodmin, Wadebrldge, Liskeard, Launceston, and Torpoint, and the great mining, commercial, trading, and agri cultural . pariahes and districts of the county, will have the benefit of lirth ceomportsanoitf Mount'sSlt. ls,; s, Bay, Falmouth, Mevagissey, mtuari, Charlestown, Par.

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 he effected between the whole of the 84Mb-east em coast, including the port and harbour of Dover and the Liverpool, l tailvrity, w a i n tl a s several ports and towns of Southampton, Gosport, Portsmouth, and Bristol ; and, by means of the Bristol Birminghamand isiaaciie ster, Gloucester, Worcester, Birmingham, the north of Engtind.' From its proximity to the Continent, the port of Dover will always he the most accessible point of the English coast; an expeditious communication therefore between that and the other ports, harbours, and inlandtowns 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.

It will be seen, on reference to the map of England, that all the traffic of Norwich, Yarmouth, Lowestoft, Ipswich, Harwich, Col chester, Chehnsford, Malden, Sudbury, Bury St. Edmunds, Cam bridge, Newport, Bishop•Stortford, Ware, Hertford, St. Albans, and Watford on the on e h an d, an d Windsor, Slough, Uxbridge, ring, Aylesbury, Buckingham, Oxford, High Wycombe, Great Marlow, Reading, Newb ury , Bath, Bristol, Salisbury, Southampton, Gosport, 40 Portsmouth on the other, must pass over this proposed Railway -S og.), .

A.I3AN (1 ' ° The line will commence at the terminus of the South-Eastern nan way at Reigate, proceed thence by Dorking, Godahning, 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 "Somersetshire coal-field, throwing off a branch towards Radstock in the heart of the collieries, terminate in a junction 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 llants, and afford the means of conveyance of their produce to the great Hop-fair at Waybill. 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 be 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 Portsmouth, 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 Yeoyil Railway, and throw open to Dover and the Atli eastern counties the populous and wealthy cities of Salisbury and Exeter, the rich agricultural counties of Wilts, Dorset, Sou, set, and Devon, the parts of Plymouth, Devonport, and Falmouth, ind 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'l confer cannot 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 cast, 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 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 Legialature for the first time admitted that princip'e 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 resift 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 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 find inconvenient station of the Great Western at Paddington. In length tile proposed line will be nearly 110 miles (assuming tills 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 hot 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 he raised is 1,500,000/., 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 41. 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 been obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. _ _ The Subscribers' A greement 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.

If any evidence were wanting to convince the supporters of this undertaking that the revenue arising therefrom will be commensu rate with the outlay required, it is only necessary to remind them of the dividends of eight and ten per cent. now paid by the established lines of road between London and the west of E►igland, connecting that circumstance with the i►nportaut fact, that those lines were made, as proved before Parliament last session, at double the rate of cost at which railways can, from the ex:.erience of the present day, be now constructed.
