SECRETARY—Mr. John C. Sommers. In submitting this undertaking to the public, the promoters arc influenced no less by a conviction of its importance as a direct con necting lino between the important towns of Chichester and Ports mouth and the metropolis, than by its grand national importance in affording a direct communication between the two great military and naval arsenals of Great Britain —Portsmouth and Chatham. The projected undertaking, by proceeding to the two terrain' at Chichester and Portsmouth, will extend the facilities of communica tion with the coast branches of railways along the south of England, connecting itself with Brighton to the eastward, and Southampton towards the west. By the main line falling into the Brighton Rail way th., advantage of two termini in London will be secured—the one at the Bricklayers' Arms, and the other at London-bridge—the latter of which, from 113 proximity to the Custom House, and the several docks on the Thames, is acknowledged to be the best position for a London terminus for merchandise of all descriptions. The line of railway intended to be constructed by this Company will commence at or near the Rcdhill station near Reigate, on the Lon don and Brighton Railway, a distance of 21 miles from London • bridge. In Its course to Portsmouth it will pass through or near Reigate, Newdlgate, Cupel, ,Ockley, Ewhurst, Rudgwick, Cranley, Alfold, Wisborough-green, Plaistow, Haslemere, Chiddingfold, North Chapel, Kidford, Petforth, Midhurst, Chu!grove, Stoughton Racton, Westbourne, and Emsworth, at or near which last mentioned place this projeetedli ,e will join the Chich ster and Portsmouth Rail way to Portsmouth. A branch is line at or near Cad to be m a d e from Dorking to join the mai n By this course the entire distance to travel between London and Portsmo h ut which to an that by which a h will be abdged 7 /hues, u e . , a distance considerably sdiorter tny line hitherto projected betwees London and Portsmouth has proposed te pass, and also pursuing a route more populous and productive than any hitherto presented to public notice. It will involve the construction of only 45 miles of railway to complete the course between the Redbill station (near Reigate) and Emsworth. From London to Reigato by the London and Brighton Railroad is ...... . . • •• •• 21 miles The junction to be made by,this Company is ..... ....... • From the point near Emsworth to Portsmouth by the Chichester and Portsmouth Railway is ................ 7 . Total distance from London to Portsmontii 73 miles. From Chllgrove 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, and trains will run direct between London and Chichester. Inasmuch as the existing line of railway to Dover branches off Uom the London and Brighton Railroad at Reigate, this projected line will open up a communication by railroad between Portsmouth and Dover. From all 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 the towers of Bletchingley, Godston, Limpsfleid, Westerham, Seven Oaks, Ightham, Town Mailing, Wrotham, Off ham, Snodiand, Lower Hailing, and Woodham. 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 extenl 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. &s., 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 thereabouts, will enable the journey between them to be made. The formation of of a direct line of rail way between Portsmouth and Chatham will afford the opportunity of establishing, by the electric telegraphic, that celerity of communication so important total obtained between places of national importance. The warm support of the principal landowners on the greater part of the lins is pledged to this undertaking. The Provisional Committee abstain from making any special re ference to the contemplate I 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.

It has been stated by the highest official authority during the last session, that the most direct and speedy communication between the English and Irish capitals is a desid-ratinn of the Government; and the object of the present undertaking is to afford this accommodation, which, from the best evidence, can, no dsnbt, be effected by the passage from Porthdynilaen to Kingstown direct.' It has, there fore, been determined to adopt this line ; and the Committee have the satisfaction to state that they are encouraged to do so by many of the leading proprietors and influential noblemen and gentlemen in North Wales, and the south and west of England and Ireland. The line to be formed will commence by a junction, at Birming ham, with the London and Birmingham Railway; thence it will pro ceed, as nearly as possible, in a straight direction to Porthdynllaen, Passing through or close by Dudley, Shrewsbury, Bala, and other principal towns on the route. The importance, nay, the necessity of such a line has long been felt, not only by the merchant, but also by:the statesman.. This, therefore, may fairly be considered a great national undertaking ; opening facilities for the most expeditious transit between the two capitals, it will at the same time offer a most direct communication with the south of Ireland, via Wicklow; thus conferring an immense benefit on the public at large. Hitherto, the nature of some of the districts to be traversed has been generally considered as opposing obstacles too formidable for locomotive transit ; which circumstance accounts for the principa lity having thus continued without the advantage of a railway. Happily, however, such are the advances of science, that the atmo spheric can surmount that which is denied the locomotive power ; and in this respect the plan proposed at once removes every objection Company. I request that you Trill allot to me shares 01201. each in the above named Company, and I hereby undertake to accept the same, or any less number that may be allotted to me, and to pay the de posit of 21. 2s. on each share, and to execute the Parliamentary Con tract and Subscribers' Agreement as may be required of me.

The title of th E is Th of the undertaking. The Birmingham terminus will be lac I all the ;other railways havinga Stall" that neommunication with in town, brought as near as practicable to it s centre.Proceedingtahned ce will be northerly direction, and on the west s id e o f th e Lichfield roa n dit in will a pass within a short distance of Sutton Coldfield, and to Lichfield, at the latter of which places there will be a station in coin • mtuncation 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 Teen 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. The entire length of the new line to be made will not exceed thirty-four miles, anti the whole will be carried over a most favour able country—two-thirds being a water-level. Sections of a great portion of the line have been made, and the en tire Parliamentary survey will be completed by the 9th ofOctober. This railway will affortta 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 Pottery lines to have their termini at Col wieb, on the Trent Valley, or at Stafford, on the Grand Junction Railway ; thus giving to Manchester, and a:so the Potteries, the shortest, easiest, and most direct route to Birmingham. It will also give the nearest line between Huddersfield and Birmingham and Southampton. This railway crosses the projected Leeds and Huddersfield and Wolverhampton Direct Railway. In the Blythe Valley a'station will be placed, and communication effected, so as to afford to Birmingham the shortest route by many miles, with Leeds, Huddersfield, Sheffield, and the northern parts of England. In allotting shares every legi timate preference will be given to landholders on the line. It is obvious that the projected line will afford an ample return to the shareholders.

To the Directors of the " ' Birmingham and Manchester Direct I request you to allot me Railway." and I agree to pay up the deposit shares in the above undertaking; necessary deeds when requiredtl of 2 2s. per share, and sign the Dated this day of keret:). that has been raised against this easy mode of traction. r It avoids the necessity of tunnelling, and greatly reduces the cost of construc tion ; and further, it prevents the possibility of accidents by fire or collision. Very great obstacles have hitherto existed, and still exist, in the way of a communication between Bangor and Holyhead ; but by the proposed route the great difficulty and expense of crossing the Menat Straits are avoided, while the extent of the country to be traversed will be mach shorter than by Chester and Holyhead, even were the bridge already established ; which, it Is very generally ap prehended, will beprocluctive of great hindrance and danger to the navigation. This fact is fully confirmed by Captain Beaufert's report made to the Railway. Commissioners of Ireland. The distance between Porthdynllaen and Kingstown is about six and a half miles further than between Kingstown and Holyhead ; but in consequence of the position of the latter place being two or three points to leeward of the acknowledged prevailing gales of St. George's Channel, a shorter passage can be wade, on an average, throughout the year, from Porthdynllaen. This also is confirmed by Captain Beaufort, as nlerred to in the masterly report made by Sir John Rennie ; in which, after going into details (coinciding in every material point with the opinions of Mr. Page and others), Sir John concludes with a general summary of the case—" That it is two points further to windward than Holyhead," and, to use the expressive words of Captain Beaufort, " has a fair wind both ways to and from Kingstown." This is particularly important, because it enables the passage to he made in equal, if not less time, than from Holyhead, although the distance is rather greater, and is not less important to maintain the communication between the two countries, during the stormy winter season, with as much speed and as little interruption as possible. _There are many other, and, perhaps, equally important reasons, for preference being given to Porthdynllaen (some arc mentioned in the second report of the House of Commons upon the subject of rail ways in Ireland), but they are too numerous to mention in a prelimi nary prospectus. In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to landholders and others locally interested; the subscribers will be held liable only for the amount of their first deposit until an Act of Parliament be obtained; afterwards only to the amount of their subscriptions. Power will be applied for in the Bill to allow interest at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum en all calls, from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line. The Provisional Committee have great p'easure in announcing that the engineers are completing their surveys, and that influential names will be advertised in a few days.

The importance of connecting these termini would, alone, be suffi cient to ensure full support to the present undertaking, from the dense population, manufacturing influence, and general traffic of the towns in question ; but when it is considered that this connexion, or junction, stands in time very centre of the entire railway system of England, and that it will complete the chain of railway communi cation and transit between the river Humber, the towns of Sheffield and Macclesfield, the Staffordshire Potteries, the Salt Wiches of Cheshire, the city of Chester, the docks of Liverpool and 'Birkenhead, Bangor Ferry, and the harbour of Holyhead, the advantages are too manifest to be for a moment questioned.

This Railway will commence at the important town of Wolver hampton, proceeding through or near to Seisdon, Try - sull and Claverley, to the manufacturing town of Bridgnorth ; from thence it will continue through a rich agricultural and populous district to Ludlow, and there fall into other projected lines to all parts of Eng land, North and South Wales, and Ireland, a distance of about thirty two miles, It will afford direct communication between Ludlow, Bridgnorth and Wolverhampton, Dudley, &c.; and, by the South Staffordshire Junction Railway, give to those towns and districts the most direct route for passengers and goods to and from the Central, North Eastern and Eastern parts of the Kingdom, and from which those towns have hitherto been excluded by every project of the day. It will convoy to the agricultural districts of Herefordshire and South Shropshire, and also to the towns of Bridgnorth and Ludlow, coals and the mineral productions of Staffordshire, Worcestershire, and the Ciee Hills, at nearly one-half the present cost of those ne cessary articles, and be the means of conveyance for corn, cattle, sheep, cider, wool, hops and other agricultural productions, as also timber from the before-mentioned agricultural counties, to the heart of the mining and manufacturing districts, which cannot fail to pro duce an immense traffic. To the towns embraced in this line, the valueof obtaining thereby, at tke cheapest rate, coal and the necessaries of life, will be of the ut most importance. One principal feature in this projection Is, that as either be Ludlow' or Bridgnorth will lie in the direct route of one of the projects to pro posed to Parliament in the next session, for the most direct commu nication South Staffords e l n si ic ir a e il v o s i b t u b r e y t: l e v e o n i :reland and the metropolis, this line will thereby afford to passengers the easiest communication to and from the cen tral parts of the kingdom.

Sofamous—Mr. Tucker, Ashburton; and Mr. G. Caunter, Ashburton. This railway is intended to commence at or near Buckfastleigh, and to join the South Devon Railway at Ford, near Newton ; dis tance, ten miles. This railway, by forming a direct communication with the great trunk line of the county, - will open for the manufacturing towns of Ashburton and :Buckfastleigh, and the adjacent agricultural district, the readiest access to the ports of Teignesouth and Torquay, and to the important and increasing markets which these towns and the other watering places on the south coast, as well as Newton, present for the disposal of all kinds of agricultural produce. Ashburton and the surrounding district, rich in mineral wealth, only require a cheap and easy mode of transit to unfold ; their tree , sures,- which have hitherto been raised only sparingly, in conse quence of the expense of land carriage. Within the average distance of two miles of Ashburton are thirteen lime kilns, at which are now burnt annually above 50,000 hogshead:: of lime. Five sate quarries, in some of which the slate is of the best quality, and has received the approval of some of the first London architects. And within the district which would derive benefit from this railroad, are six tin and copper mines in work, and three more are now about to be worked. The manufactured goods of Ashburton and the adjacent district aro of very considerable value—the woollen manufacture alone gives em ployment to nearly 3,000 persons. Large quantities of timber are annually felled and sent to the sea coast, from the wooded district at the back of Ashburton. It has been ascertained that the number of persons travelling from this district to and from the east of Ashburton, amounts to about one thousand weekly. The romantic scenery of the Dart, near Ashburton, now attracts yearly a great influx of visitors. The opening of this railway would, by bringing the banks of the Dart within easy access of Exeter, and all the watering places on the southern coast, doubtless much increase the number. To the manufacturer and merchant, the formation of this railway would afford a great boon, by establishing a cheap and easy transit for their goods; to the agriculturist, the saving of one-seventh in the present price of lime would offer a manifest advantage; and on the inhabitants of the district generally great benefit would be conferred by the reduction of at least 251. per cent. in the price of coal and other articles. The Provisional Committee, after careful inquiries as to the antici pated traffic, have reason to believe that the net return will pay a handsome rate of interest on the capital required. The population of the district to be benefited by this railway Is above 16,000 The line presents no engineering difficulties. The Directors of the South Devon Railway Company with the authority of a general meeting of their Proprietors, have agreed to take shares to a considerable amount, and are acting in cordial co operation with the Provisional Committee. The arrangements with the South Devon Board embrace a provision for leasing the line on its completion to that Company, and provide for the supervision of the planning and construction of the line by Mr. Brunel. The advantages of attracting to this undertaking the important combination of interests represented by the South Devon Company and its numerous alliances will be readily appreciated. Power will be sought by the Act of Incorporation to allow interest at 41. per cent. per annum on all deposits and calls from the time of payment until the opening of the line. No liability will be incurred by any Shareholder beyond the amount of his shares. Applications for shares may be made to the Provisional Com mittee, at their office, East-street, _Ashburton; or to the Solicitors, Mr. Tucker, or Mr. George Caunter, Ashburton ; or to the following Sharebrokers :—Messrs.

This railway is intended to branch out of the Oxford and Rugby line at Southam, and proceed in a direct course to Coventry, there to form a junction with the lines diverging from that city to the Trent Valley Railway, at Nuneaton, and to Leicester, Burton-upon- Trent, and Manchester. ,IThe main. objects of this railway are —First, to complete an im portant link in the chain of communication between Manchester and the improving port of Southampton by the nearest possible route, the great and increasing traffic between which two important parts of the kingdom this railway must necessarily embrace. Secondly. It will afford important local advantages by connecting the city of Coventry and neighbourhood (containing a population of upwards of 50,000 inhabitants), and the valuable and extensive manufacturing, mineral, and agricultural districts, particularly the extensive coal fields, stone quarries, and limeworks of Warwickshire, Leicestershire, Derbyshire, and Staffordshire, with Southam, Ban bury, Woodstock, Oxford, Southampton, and the inter nediate and surrounding country, affording to those several districts all the ad vantages of direct railway communication, in lieu of the present cir cuitous route by canal. It is confidently expected that the local traffic alone, independently of the vast through traffic from Man chester to Southampton, will be amply remunerative to the share holders, whilst the great reduction which this railway will effect in the price of coals and other mineral productions must prove highly advantageous to the public. The survey of the line is in progress, and the country is unusually favourable. Application to Parliament for an Act of Incorporation will bo made in the next session. The Provisional Directors reserve to themselves the right of amalgamating or making arrangements with other companies. The usual power will be taken in the Act of Par liament, which will be applied for next session, to allow interest at 41. per cent. on the deposit, and the liability of sharehold rs will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions.

The Provisional Committee of the. North London Junction Rail way Company have great satisfaction In informing - their subscribers that negotiations are now pending between the Provisional Commit tee of this Company and the Directors of the Railways north of the Thames of such a character as to assure them that the City terminus of this Company will form the Grand Terminus of all the City traffic north of Loudon. To effect this important object, an area of 10 acres of ground (the southern boundary of which is within 500 yards of the Bank of England) has been most carefully surveyed and valued, and the re port. of the architect and engineer is of so Etvourable a character as to have induced the Provisional Committee to determine on purchasing the entire site, and it has, therefore, been resolved b., them to in crease the capital of this Company to 1,300,0001. The Provisional Committee consider it of paramount importance to secure within the limits of their City terminus, the amplest and mast complete accommodation for the traffic of each of the railway companies who may co-operate with them, an object which will be effected by opening the very extensive and valuable space of ground alluded to, within the centre of the City of London. In conjunction with this enlarged plan, it is intended to embrace hat of a branch line to the present station of the Eastern Counties Railway in Shoreditch, which will effect an entire junction between the eastern and western parts of the metropolis ; and at the same ariord a direct communication between the whole of the rail. ways, which reach London to the north of the Thames, and give full development to each of their schemes by creating for them a common centre within the heart of the metropolis. _ . Independently, therefore, of the almost incalculable local traffic which the position of their City terminus will ensure to this Com pany, will be added that of those companies also who will eventually co-opera•e with the North London Junction Railway Company, and the perfection of a project of no ordinary magnitude and importance will be realised throughout the whole of this short but very valuab:e line of railway. ♦ lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the entire district through which this Company proposes to run this line; by this meow the most casual observer will be enabled to ascertain that the environs of London, north of the Thames, will be placed in in:mediate communication with the City ; while the dense popu lation of the City will enjoy a fact ity of connexion with its suburban localities, necessarily affording it the greatest accommodation. With such important local resources, therefore, together with the vast traffic on which the skarehollers of this Company have a right to rely for profit, a large amount of revenue may be fairly and justly anticipated, fully commensurate with the outlay of the proposed capital. That revenue will be derived thus : The daily passenger traffic on the Great Western amounts to 3,345, one-half of which reaches the City. The London and Bir reingham amounts to 4,322 daily, two-thirds of which reach the City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,403 persons daily, half of whom pass to the West-end of London. The omnibus traffic daily is 30,894 passengers, two-thirds of which may be given to the City. Passengers from the suburban districts reaching the City, now un accommodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily. From these sources the following products are derived: — Per Ann.

The capital, as now extended, will be divided into 65,000 shares of 201. each, upon which a deposit of 21. is. per share will be payable forthwith. A portion of the shares will be allotted to parties locally interested. The remainder will be distributed amongst the present shareholders and the public generally, upon application being made by them in a manner hereinafter mentioned. _ _ • The Directors, In compliance with the advice of their Parlia mentary Agents, deem it expedient, in consequence of the recent standing crd,rs of the House of Lords, to require a deposi of 101. per cent. The shareholders arc, therefore, requested, in order to carry this arrangement into effect, to deposit their scrip certificate witk the Secretary, on or before the Ist of October next, in exchange for which they will obtain a certificate upon which the bankers of the Company will receive the amount of the difference payable, and, upon producing the receipt and signing the new Parliamentary Deeds, fresh scrip will be delivered to them.
