Commencing at Cambrhlge, which ha 4 now become the traffic centre of the Eastern Counties, by the line of railway intended to be formed by' that Company, this line will proceed to Bedford, there passing near Olney it will cross at or near the Blisworth Station of the London and Birmingham Railway, where it will communicate with the Northampton and Peterborough line; it will then precced west ward, crossing the OXford and Rugby line at or near Fenny-Compton to Stratford-on-Avon, there joining the proposed line from Warwick and Leamington to Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the West of England ; continuing its course through Alcester, the line will go di rect to Worcester, and thus terminate at the great centre of traffic for the mineral and manufacturing districts of South Staffordshire, Shropshire, and North and South Wales: This proposed line does not interfere with any existing railways, and presenting, as it does, an unbroken line between two great centres of traffic, the Importance of the undertaking needs no further comment. Negotiations have been entered into with the Eastern Coen ties Railway Company, by which their support and co-operation will N ensured for obtaining the line now proposed. An arrangement has also been made with the proposed Rugby, Warwick, and Worcester Company, which this line will join at Al cester,, and by means of which the Eastern Counties' traffic will pro-:- ceed to Worcester.- Bower' will be reserved to the Directors to amalgamate with any. other existing or projecting Companies, or to vary the line.

This line ofjaliway is r proposed gmarticnce .at the city of Ox ford; to piss through towns Marne, Princes Risboroug i li, lligh . Wyeomlie, and other intermediate places in the bountih of Ox - ford and Buckingham; and to pass on through Uxbridge to West Drayton, In the county of Middlesex, where it will join the Great Western Railway. From the town of Theme, through which it will pass, a railway has been projected to Aylesbury, which will, by means of the pre sent Ayleshary Junction, torn a connection between the proposed line and the London and Birmingham ; while other railways are proposed, which will further extend the communication to the pro posed London and York Railway (or any other which may be carried northwards from London), to the Northern and Eastern, and lastly to the Eastern Cou"ties Railway. Thus the line at pre sent proposed will complete the communication (partially produced by existing and other proposed lines) between Oxford and many int portant and populous places in Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Hert fordshire, and Essex, embracing the seaports and watering-places of Maldou, Colchester, and Harwich. By the conn=lons formed with other. .rallways, the various im portant and manufacturing towns and districts of the northern, cen tral, and eastern parts of the country will be placed within ready access of Oxford, its immediate neighbourhood, and the west of England generally, and this important object being effected by so short a line, cannot fail to secure considerable profit, as the mercan tile and agricultural traffic will be very great, as well as that of passengers. . . _ One very prominent advantage arising from the connexion with the London and Birmingham Railway, will be the ready and cheap upply of coal in a district where this essential article is at present exorbitantly dearl and, as the consumption in Oxford only must be very considerable, the carriage of it will prove an extensive source of profit to the line. Uxbridge is the largest corn market in England; and the com municating medium with that town and the agricultural districts of Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, and the surrounding counties, must secure a large remunerating traffic. At West Drayton, where Mr line will terminate, the Great Western Railway furnishes the connecting link to the metropolis, the emporium of the world ; other railways are already projected, In a continuous direction with that of the proposed line, to the proposed London and Exeter Direct, and (crossing the river Thames) to the South Western, the proposed Portsmouth Direct, and the Brighton and Dover Railways. Thus Oxford and its locality will be directly connected by railway with the west of Middlesex, Kingston-upon- Thames, Dorking, Reigate, Brighton, and Dover ; and, indeed, with the counties of Surrey and Kent generally, avoiding the delay, dis tance, and expense, resulting from the present route by way of London. But, by the connexion formed with the Great Western Railway above alluded to, a most important ohject will be attained, namely, a direct railway communication between Oxford and the metropolis, which cannot fail to secure the whole of the traffic from the one place to the other, as the present line, formed by a junction with the Great Western at Didcot, is very circuitous, and the route will be shortened twelve miles or more. The proposed line may also be re garded as an extension of the projected lines from Oxford to Glouces ter and Worcester, and of all other lines westward of Oxford, not only towards the metropolis, but to the whole of the country and various railways to which it forms a communication. Oxford, celebrated as a large and splendid city, and more espe cial:v as being the scat of one of our principal Universities, and con taining about 25,000 inhabitants, should undoubtedly be furnished with a good railway communication, both with London and with the country at large ; and as no line could be projected which would embrace both these objects so extensively and successfully as the present, there is every reason to believe the business done on It will be considerable, and will yield considerable return on the capital invested. A large amount of local traffic may also be expected on the line, as it will pass through a rich and populous tract of country, containing, within six miles distance from the site of the proposed railway, about 180,000 inhabitants, who arc yet, for the most part, unaccommodated with the advantages of a railway. This tract of country, being chiefly of an agricultural character, highly cultivated and produc tive, a ready and cheap conveyance to Oxford and other market towns in the immediate vicinity will be found very desirable. There are no peculiar difficulties presented to engineering con structions along this line, the surface Is comparatively level, and the geological formation favourable ; the expense will be small compared with that of in..ny others, and the greatest portion of the line does not approximate arty ornamental or residential property. The usual powers will be applied for in the Act, to allow four per cent per annum on all calls until the completion of the undertaking, and.no liability will attach to any subscriber beyond the amount of his subscription. Parties locally Interested, and shareholders in the Great Western, the Aylesbury, and Thame Railway, and other proposed Rees in conjunction with the present, to have the preference as applicants for shares In this undertaking. . . . . - Applications for Sl;Ores on the printed forms, to be made to the Solicitor ; to the Secretary, at the Company's offices ; to the Local Agents ; or to Bichar•d Haighton Wilkins, Esq.

The object of this railway is to afford to the inhabitants residing within a circle of about ten miles south of the Thames the means of a safe, frequent, and speedy communication with the heart of the City. It is proposed to have a central terminus in Queen-street, Cheap side, with a direct line of railway over Southwark-bridge to the Ele phant and Castle, and thence by radiating branches to accommodate the local it ies of Kennington, Brixton, Streatham, Croydon, Clap ham, Balham, Tooting, Mitcham, Walworth, Camberwell, Peckham, Dulwich, Norwood, th e K ent - road, Dept f or d , G re enwich, Black heath, Charlton, Woolsvich Wandsworth, Putney, Mortlake, and Richmoni, completi ng the Chain of communication with the South western at Wandsworth, and with the London and Brighton and South-Eastern Line at Croydola. It is needless to point out in this preliminary announcement the enormous passenger traffic which may be expected on this railway, when it is considered that the portion of the suburbs to which ac commodation is to be afforded contain a population of between seven and eight hundred thousand persons, requiring daily inter course with the City. As this ilne will be constructed upon the atmospheric principle, and the present public roads will be adopted as far as practicable, the cost. will not bear comparison with that of railways in general, and it is estimated that it will ply to the shareholders of the under takiag a remunerating profit of not less than 10 per cent., even reckoning the conveyance of passingers at the low rates of from 3d. to 6d. for the whole, or any part of the distance, to say nothing of the enormous traffic in parcels and goods. A detailed prospectus, with the names of a very influential Com mittee, and other officers, will appear in a few days.

The towns and places through which the line passes, or most imme diately affects, contain an aggregate population of abort s 200,000 persons. To the inhabitants of the important town of Uxbridge, this line presents the most direct communication with the metropolis, adopt ing the old course taken by the coaches, viz., through Hillingdon, Hayes. Southall, Ste., contrasting favourably with the present cir cuitous route to London, by coach or omnibus to West Drayton, and thence by the Groat Western Railway. With the present limited railway accommodation, the corn returns of Uxbridge show an in crease of 30 per cent. upon the average of the last two years. The weekly market et Southall is second in importance to Smith field, end it is attended by the graziers and butchers from all parts of the neighbouring country and the metropolis. By means of this line, and one of the proposed lines from London to Hounslow, which this will intersect, Brentford, the county-tow n of Middlesex, and the Thames, will be brought into immediate con nexion with Uxbridge ; the traffic between the last-named towns has hitherto materially helped to produce this large dividends of the Grand Junction Canal. By means also of this line, and the Croydon and Epsom line (now in course of construction), all the before-mentioned towns and places are likewise connected with Croydon'. The importance of connecting two such towns as Uxbridge and Brentford with Kingston, Croydon, and Epsom, three of the largest market-towns in Surrey, between,which the present agricultural traffic is extensive, is too obvious to require comment. A glance at the map will at once show that the communication now proposed is not only judicious, but, in order to satisfy the requirements of the important and populous district involved, is actually imperative. It will afford to Uxbridge and the towns in Hertfordshire north of it, with which It will be connected by proposed new lines, direct transit to the Great Western, Southampton, and Portsmouth Railways, and by the established lines, southward, to Shoreham, Brighton, Dover, Ramsgate, and all the south and south-eastern parts of th kingdom, avo iding the loss of time and gr ea t i nconvenience of going round by the metropolis. So also as to Brentford, Hounslow, King ston, and Epsom—it will afford to them access to th e G reat W estern, London and Birmingham. and Northern and Eastern lines; and by this line, in connexion with one proposed to Hounslow from the me tropolis, and the other proposed and established Rues north and south of it, easy access will be afforded to Hampton-court. Epsom, and other favourite places of resort. There can be no doubt, therefore, that the passe nger traffic alone will be sufficient t o pay a very large dividend on the outlay. The average number of persons visiting Hampton-court in the summer months amounts to about 18,000 per week. The supply by the eounty of Kent and western division of Middle sex of the north and north-western markets with fruit during the season, would, by this line, be immensely increased, and form another source of income to the Company. Portant advantage This undertaking presents the additional and im of competing with no line at present established ; on the contrary, it will be the means of connecting and feeding the several lines enu merated, and . several others that are projected; and the engineer reports that it passes over a particularly eas y country, and will be capable of const r uction at about 1 6 , 0 00/. per rnide ; an d th e land owners on the line who have been seen, are favourable to the un dertaking. The length of the line will be about 18 miles. Application for shares must be made in the annexed form, to the solicitors of the Company, Messrs.

The title of this line sufficiently and correctly explains the object of the undertaking. The Birmingham terminus will be placed in communication with all the other railways having a station in that town, and will oe brought as near as practicable to its centre. Proceeding thence In a northerly direction, and on the west side of the Lichfield road, it w:1 pass within a short distance of Sutton Coldfield, and to Lichfield, at the latter of which places there will be a tation in communication 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 is 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, and the whole will be carried over a most favour able country—two-thirds being a water-level. Sections ofa great portion of the line have been made, and the en tire Parliamentary survey will be completed by the 9th o:Ociober. This railway will afford a 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 er projected by several miles, assuming any of the projected Pottery lines to have their ter mini at Coiwich, on the Trent Valley, or at Stafford, on the Grand Junction Railway ; thus giving to Manchester, and ft'SO the Pot teries, the shortest, easiest, and most direct route to Birmingham. It will also give the nearest line between Huddersfield and ham 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 Leecis, Huddersfield, Sheffield, and the northern parts of England. I:1 allotting shares every legi timate preference will be given to the landholders on the I , ne.

The whole of the traffic (whether of passengers or goods) from the north to the south of England now' passes through the streets of London. No railway has yet been projected to avoid this course, so obviously inconvenient to the passenger, and so enormously expen sive to the carrier. The Tring and Reigate Railway will afford accommodation to the manufitcturing districts of Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, and Birming ham,-and place them in direct communication with the southern ports (from Dover to Southampton) and France, at a saving of ten miles, of which four consist of the streets of London, and effectually connect the several stations of the Dover, Brighton, South-Western, Great Western, and Birmingham Railways, without causing the ruinous expense attendant upon all schemes for joining their present termini in London The importance of a direct communication between the coal Melds and manufacturing districts of Birmingham, the midland countieS and the north with the southern coast, extending, at the least, from Dover to Southampton, need not be dwelt upon. A new line of no less than 137% miles has just been projected to connect Birmingham and Brighton alone. The Tring and Reigate will be forty-four miles. The course of this line is as follows :—Leaving the London and Bir mingham Railway at Tring, it will pass through Chesham, Amersham, Beaconsfield, to Slough, on the Great Western Railway ; through Upton, Datchet, Egham, Staines, and Chertsey, it will reach the South-Western Railway at Weybridge ; thence through Cobham and Leatherhead, it will pass near Dorking to the Reigate station of the Dover and Brighton Railways; thus intersecting four trunk rail ways at first class stations. The intermediate traffic may be stated as follows :—From Wen dover to Slough it will command the traffic to Dondon and the West of England by its junction with the Great Western Railway ; it will afford to Windsor a direct communication to the Isle of Wight by way of the gouth-Western ; to Brighton and Dover by way of Rei gate ; and to all the railways of the north by way of Tring ; aid it will pass, as before stated, through the populous districts of Egham, Statues, Chertsey, Cobham, and Dorking, to the Reigate station by way of Epsom. It may be fairly stated that this railway, far from injuring any existing line, will greatly benefit every one that it touches, and that opening, as it will do, a direct communication to the northern and midland counties with Brighton, and affording to Windsor the com mand of all the railways in the kingdom, must be successful. To persons conversant with railway affairs, a glance at any railway map will convey more convincing information as to its merits than the most elaborate prospectus. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the Cotrpany shall be under the control of the Committee of Manage ment, who are empowered to enter into such arrangements as shall best serve the interests of the Company, and to raise any additional capital that may become requisite for extensions of the line, or otherwise. Power shall be taken under the Act to limit the responsibility of shareholders to the amount of their subscription, and to allow interest at 4 per cent. upon the calls. The engineers are now engaged in surveying the line, and the whole will be completed in time for the ensuingothlandowners and to the session. A preference e will be given in the allotm ent of share s hareholders in the severa ENGIN I railEwaysEß'S lnßEstetrested PORT.in its formation.

This affords satisfac tory assurance that t he line will be certainly ready for the coming session. • committee of the Tring and Reigate Railway. To the Provisional G en tlemen, —I have the honour :to report to you that n R I e h i a g v a e te nli for . nutely:e xa mined the country ly in g between T ring a the proposed " Tring and Reigate Railway." The ground from the Reigate station on the South-Eastern Rail way, via Reigate to Leatherhead, is the only difficult portion of the line ; some tunnelling and cutting being required, after which, by Cobtnun, Chertsey, Staines, Datchet, Upton, Slough, F arn h am R oya l , Beaconsfield, Amersham, and Chesham, to or near the Tring station, the country is of a nature most favourable for the construction of a railway. I consider the route here pointed ant for the " Tring and Reigate Railway," not only a most excellent one as referring to the con struction of the line, but pre-eminently good in respect of the pro spect of its paying ; for in addition to its affording a direct means of communication from the north and midlands' districts to Brighton and Dover, it will at the same time become a series of cenneeting links with the main trunks of the country. I have the satisfaction to inform the Committee that I have made such arrangements as will enable me to guarantee their going to Parliament with the " Tring and Reigate " Bill in the ensuing session. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most JAMES A. EMSLIE, C.E. 6, Buckingham-street, Strand, OerS, 1 845 .

The object of this line is to complete the only link wanting in chain of railway communication between the ports of Hugh • Rye, Hythe, Folkestone, Sandwich, Dover, Ramsgate, Margate, Deal. The railway already existing between Dover and Folkestone, those now forming by the South-Eastern Company in Kent, Sus, and the Isle of Thanet, and between the latter place and Deal, I; a short distance of nine miles devoid of railway, which this Comp proposes to supply. Taken, however, in connexion with the prop Kent and Essex Union, and Dover, Hastings, and Brighton June; it will perfect the entire coast line from the mouth of the Medwa Poole. The inhabitants of Hastings, Rye, Folkestone, Sandwich, De Deal, Ramsgate, and Margate, apart from the very advantag extension embraced by the above two schemes, will, by means of line, enjoy the benefits of a speedy, cheap, and direct intercourse each other, in powerful contrast to the present broken and te. route by land, or the unpleasant and lengthy sea-voyage round North and South Forelands. It is anticipated that, beside the above advantages, increases petus will be given to the trade of those places by thus intim connecting their respective interests.

The Directors have for some time past been in direct commi Um with the Belgian Government, and they have entered i, preliminary arrangement, under date of the 27th of September, with the Minister of public. Works, by which the Minister g r an them the preference for the con cession of a railway, to be calla "Grand Junction," and engages to conclude with the Direct, provisional contract, previously to submitting the " Projet de for royal approbation, and also to apply for the sanction of the I 'attire. The valuable and important ironworks of Couvin will also, e the same agreement, be ceded to the Company, The Belgian Grand Junction Railway will directly connect provinces of Brabant, Hainault, Liege, Limbonrg, sad Namur, each other, and with the Government lines of railway, as also the several lines of Liege and Namur. Landen and,llasselt, Lou and Jemeppe, Sambre and Meuse, and the Great Luxembourg Mons. Marche', the eminent Belgian engineer, has carefully veyed the line, and has deposited the necessary plans, sections, estimates with the Belgian Government. Mr. James Thomson, one of the Company's engineers, has gone over the line, and reports most favourably upon the pect facilities for no construction of the railway, and the entire abst of - all engineering difficulties. The Chairman and two of the Directors have carefully travel' the whole of - the line, and have received the most positive as, ances of support from the local authorities and landed proprietors The provinces which the railway will unite were found by census of 1844 to comprise a population of 2,188,551, and the tricts which it will traverse are situated in the heart of Belgi: and comprise an area of 165 square miles. The entire length of Belgian Grand Junction Railway will be 102 English miles. This portion of the country is emphatically termed the Granar Belgium, and, in addition to its vast agricultural produce, is rid' ironstone, lead, marble, stone, and slate quarries. It has also nu • rous distilleries, extensive breweries, ironworks, and large mans tories of porcelain, glass, paper, Beetroot, sugar, gunpowder, The great coal-fields of Charleroi and Liege, which are the most tensive in Belgium, will, by means of this line, be enabled to su: all parts of the kingdom at a very reduced rat*. The Government lines already completed, as well as the sev private lines now in course of construction, will necessarily be feeders to the Grand Junction line, as it will unite with the who them, and will traverse a district destitute of all water commur. tion, and very imperfectly supp lied with roads ; whilst the invari rale of the Belgian Government not to permit any competing li must necessarily ensure to this Company the entire traffic of country through which this line will pass. d accurately prepared ; and, upon the imp - obabh calculated with reference to the presen amount ef traffic, I. beenT Tables, the shareholders would even then reed) sumption that there will be no increase when the Grand Juno, %fully an Railway is constructed, large Interest on their capital. But, as in all cases, and more ps accompanied i n Belgium, increase d facilities of communic a ti on have I by a great increase of traffic, there can be no (.1( that the Grand Junction Railway Company w-- *n pay_ a consider( dividend to the shareholders. The expense of construction, and the subsequent expenses of w( ing the line, are very much legs than in English railways ; and an important feature that the enormous outlay incident to a Pat mentary contest in England is avoided. A considerable saving will also be effected in the cost of iron, of the locomotive engines and traffic material, which will be mane tured at the Couvin works; and tle Company have, therefore, • peculiar advantage of being independent of a supply from any o quarter, and free from the delay and disappointment consequent t , the present increased demand. The grant will be for ninety years, and the Act will provide " the railway shall, for the whole term, be exempt from all rates ; charges whatsoever, whether local or national. By the law of Belgium, this Company will be constitut' Societe Anonyme, and the liability of each shareholder Will limited to the amount of his respective shares. A second payment of V. per share will be required one month the Concession shall have bee n ratified by the Directors, and subsequent call* will be made at such periods as the Directors determine. An accountable receipt will be given to each subscriber on payt i within requiringt en twenty-one e e le c t , of his deposit, which receipt must be exchanged for certificates t s shares, t at the appearance e e of of ine advertisementom p hy; such advertisement to be inserted once in the London Gazette, three times in each of two daily Morning London newspapers. non-compliance with this condition will entail on the subscriber for f e iture of his deposits. Notice of calls will be given by advertisement in the London zette, and twig daily Morning London newspapers ; and if any ce guy share shall remain unpaid for twenty-one days after the named, the share shall become absolutely forfeited. Interest at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum will be paid • the amount of capital paid up, such interest to be calculated fron time of obtaining the Act of the Legislature until the openh the line. All points of detail will, under the terms of the Convention Act, be settled between the Belgian Government and tke Direc and it is one of the conditions on which the shares will be m tioned and accepted, that the subscribers confide to the Directors power to make such arrangement with the Belgian Government • respect to any alterations or modifications of the line, and o: terms of the grant, as they may think expedient for the further. of the interests of the Company.
