SECRETARY —Mr. W. F. Westall The great objects of this company are twofold. The first is to esta blish •he most direct line of railway communication between all th midlagd and southern and northern counties of _England ; and also with Scotland, by a short juncion line of about 2 2 miles in length from the North Union Railway, at or near Parkside, to apoint on the M anchester and Birmingham Railway, at or near Prestbury, and thence to Macclesfield, there uniting with some one or more of such of the undermentioned proposed lines, to or near that place, as maybe sanctioueu by Parliament, and effect a junction with the Trent Val ley, London and Birmingham, and Midland Counties Railways Birmingham and Manchester Direct Railway Churnet and Blyth, or Macclesfield and Lichfield Junction Railway Tean and Dove Valley North Staffordshire London and Manchester Direct (Remington's and Rastrick's Amalgamated) North Cheshire South Union Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Manchester and Rugby Direct Direct Sheffield and Macclesfield. A continuous line of railway communication will thus be formed from Landon, Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and the Potteries, with Wigan, Preston, the ports of Fleetwood and Lancaster, and with Carlisle; and from that place, by the Caledonian Railway, to Edinburgh and Glasgow, and all the important cities and towns in Scotland, thus establishing the most important and uninter rupted, and at the same time the shortest and most expeditious line of communication between the metropolis of England and that of Scotland, and all the intermediate places. In conjunction with the p , oposed line t'rom Sheffield to Macclesfield, the most direct commu nication between Liverpool and Sheffield will be effected. The second object of this Company is by the proposed branch to Warrington, there uniting with the contemplated line of the Grand Junction Railway Company from that place to the Liverpool and and Manchester Railway, at Huyton, to effect the shortest and Most convenient line of communication between Macclesfield, Warrington, aid Liverpool. When it is considered that Macclesfield and its environs, with a population of 50,000, must become so important a centre of railway communication from the midland, western, and southern counties of England, and that there is not at present any direct railway from thence, connecting it with all the important manufacturing, coal, and otherinineral districts, in the direct line to Scotland, and that this line wZuld meet the existing deficiency, and form the most di .. . •- •• • , • : comßfunt, rect route, by effecting a saving of sixteen miles in the distance from Macclesfield to Parkside and also to Warrington, over any esta blisheri or proposed line In a northern "—the desireableness of this project, in a no knell e, _r is pr, stinted, be ad- wilted „, , mineral, and the manufacturiug• produce would pa* , , than any other line of the same length In the kingdom. The - advantage which this project offers to the public Will be sufficiently apparent, without fur ther comment. The iiahuity of each shareholder rill De reatrlctod to the amount of the shares taken; and power 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 time of payment to the opening of the line. The survey of the line is now in progress, and, with other neces sary arrangements, will be completed without delay, in order to go to Parliament in the e issuing session.

Thy l4 SUITOY in a Mt , of great tbrwardneeh and will be CCM. The imrortance of connecting remote parts of E:.gland by ran ways with the advantag,es thereby conferred upon intermediate towns and districts, can scarcely be better exemplified than by the line which is row proposed to form a , , short and direct channel of :titer course between Oxford foull Salsbury, Numerous projected lines now before the po,lle will make Oxford at the north, and Sali,:bary at t he south of the intended rlroad, the central points from which north, anti north-east et' various ra dii will di, erge to th ai e north-w est, the former, and to the south and west of the latter ; and the propose d line from Cambridge to Oxford, continuing is that city the couse of railway from the north-eastern parts of the island. requires the appliance now suggested to eilecta complete means of transit to the western and south-western counties., The Oxford and ealisbury ll.rect Railway, in addition to the h3oefita which will be conferred u p on th e na ti on at large, by perfecting a direct line of commun'eation be tween the north-eastern and western and south-western parts of England, will afford to the borowth of Abingdon, the market tow ns of 11 antage . , Hungerford, and Ludgershall, and the adjacent vill a g es, an inipm atilt railway accenamodation, of which the agricultura l districts in which they are seated stand in much l i need, an d will provi de a facility for the interchange of produce be twee the rural, m anufacturing,.. and commercial population of the k i ng d o m. The projected line will bring the Cathedral City of Salis bury into c ombining also the immediate connexion with the City and University of Oxford, of a direct communication advantaga with the sist er University of Cambridge ; thus strengthening the ecclesiastical and academical relations of the whole, whilst the com mercial prosperity of the two terminal cities must of necessity be essentially enhanced. The want of radway accommodation has long been felt to press itufairly upon the inhabitants of the important and thriving town of Abingdon. Their means and opportunities of competing with the more fortuna t e traders of those towns which are already provided with di rect channels of transit, are thus severely crippled. The same remark applies in some degree to the market town of Wantage, which, as well as Ilungerford and Lodge/shall, claims a share of the profits and advantages produced by railway traffic. It has therefore been determined . to commence the proposed line at Oxford, and to proceed. through Abniodon to the station of the Great R e. f ty at af to Aldogdon a dirraa rail no ~1 to 1., , ,td0ii. 1 ,. 0,a,t0.1 railway to Wantao7c, the tron,lt to Lo.iooti Ili 1:.?, to that place ; and , the o will,'); a rune li•out Canitzitige to s) ~ln`: ti In prottuce,ti, through the towns which have been named, Ilungerford and Lodgers hall, to Salisbury, and thence to tke south and western ports and dis- pleted in sufficient time to enable the Company to apply to Parlia ment in the next session; and the promoters having received general and most satisfactory assurances of support from the local gentry, landowners, tradeis, and influential inhabitants, have reasonable ground to anticipate the unobstructed passing of the necessary Act for the formation of the Oxford and Salisbury Direct Railway during the ensuing session. _ .

At length, on the 20th August last, at a full county meeting at Bodmin, presided over by the High Sheriff, it was unanimously resolved :—" That the general interests of the county of Cornwall, as well as of the public at large, absolutely requite that no trunk line should be sanctioned through the county which does not afford the most direct, central, safe, and continuous railway communication from Falmouth and Penzance to London." This decision, in con junction with the appearance of the scheme of the North Devon Company, has appeared to the promoters of the Great Western and Falmouth Junction railway, to present a favourable opportunity for bringing before the public a Central Line, on the broad guage, which, by the combination of four powerful companies, is now, it may be said, brought almost to the boarders of Cornwall. The Great Western railway, already open to Exeter, is now being extended to Crouton, and from thence the North Devon Company intend to construct a main line to join their north and south Devon line, in the neighbourhood of Hatherleigh, thirty milt s directly west from Exeter, and about seventy miles from Fahnouth. The Great Western and Falmouth Junction Railway will com mence near Hatherleigh, and will be about seventy miles in length, and form a direct extension of the line from Crediton to that place, proposed by the North Devon Company, and will thence proceed by Lettuces' on, Bodmin, and Truro to Falmouth; and in order to pre serve the old line of communication from Cornwall to 'Plymouth, ad mitted to be of great local importance, a branch will run from the main line near Bodmin, through or near Liskeard, to join the South Devon and Tavistock Railway, near Plymouth. By means of this railway, and the North Devon, Credipo and Exeter, Bristol and Exeter, road Great Western Rallwaythere will be a direct and unb• oken line on the broad gauge ;from Falmouth through Exeter, to London, on the one hand, and to Plymouth and the South Coast on the other; and it will also be connected with the railways and canals already existing in Cornwall, and, by branches, with all the most important towns in that county and the North of Devon. It is also intended that the line shall be the best in engineer ing qualities which the natural formation of the country will allow, and that the formidable difficulties, which induced the Board of Trade to report to Parliament against the late Cornwall and Devon Central line, shall be avoided. This scheme has a decided advantage Os er any other at present proposed for giving to Cornwall the benefits of railway cammunica• lion, and is the only line which can with certainty effect the object to which the county became pledged, by the resolution of the 20th of August last—no other line affords " direct, central, safe and con tinuous railway communication from Falmouth and Penzance to London." The Cornwall and Devon Central Railway will not en sure a continuous line from Falmouth to London, until three other independent Companies shall have succeeded in obtaining their Bills ; and these projected lines have also to co nt e nd a g ainst the op position of through and integral lines from London to Exeter. The West of England below Exeter, is obviously the country of the broad gauge, and there is no probability that Parliament will sanction the introduction of any other gauge into that district, which would be productive of endless confusion and inconvenience. With the South Devon line on the one hand, the projected North Devon line on the other, the Exeter and Crediton and its projected extension westward to Hatherleigh, and the West Cornwall line from Truro to Penzance, all on the broad gauge, and all projected or supported by the Great Western, and its associated Companies—there can be little doubt that no narrow gauge line will be permitted to run parallel with those already sanctioned by the legislature, or proposed for the further accommodation of the country by such influential companies. In order fully to comply with the expressed wishes of the county of Cornwall and to secure that " direct, central, sale, and continuous railway communication" so much required, the present line has been projected, and will, when completed, form the Central link of the great series of lines already under the direction of the Great Western, and the other associated Companies. It is therefore confidently presumed that no other scheme for connecting Cornwall and West Devon with the Metropolis, and the North of England, can compete with the present line with any probability of success, presenting as this line does the prominent points of national and local advantage, and possessing all the elements essential to command the favourable consideration of Parliament. As a work of national importance, it has been long admitted that a line o f railway to the important Port of Falmouth must be carried out ; the promoters of this railway do not, therefore, think it neces sary to repeat the here the highly satisfactory results of the traffic over the line, which were long since ascertained. It is sufficient to say, they prove an ample return on the capital to be invested. The survey is in progress, and will be completed in time to apply to Parliament in the ensuing Session ; and the promoters having already received highly satisfactory assurances of support, as well local as general, feel justified in expressing their conviction that their appli cation will be crowned with success. The capital will be divided into 50,000 shares of 251. each, upon which a deposit of 21. 12e. Gd. per share must be paid upon the allot ment. Power will be taken to pay interest on the deposit, and all calls till the line is opened ; and no subscriber will be liable for more than the amount of his deposit milli the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. Preference will be given, in the allotment, to landowners, to local applicants, and to parties holding shares in the Great Western, Bristol and Exeter, Exeter and Crediton, North Devon, and West Cornwall Railways. Applications for shares, in the form annexed, to be addressed to the Solicitors of the Company ; or to any respectable brokers in town or country. 68, Old Broad-street, London, Ist Oct. V. 45.

The establishment of the above railway will effect two great and imnortant objects :—first, the supply of the metropolis and its vicinity with coal fully twenty per cent. cheaper than by the pre. sent mode of transit: secondly, by the exclusion of passenger traffic to diminish the risk of accidents. The Board of Trade, in reference to the latter, have in their report upon the subject, laid great stress on the importance of seperating the passenger from goods trains ; and the Select Committee on the Coal Trade recommend that every means of promoting a new supply of coal should he encouraged. The existing lines from the north being already crowded to excess with trains of every class, travelling et velocities varying from fifteen to fifty miles per hour ; and new railways b:ing almost daily projected as feeders to the great trunk lines, the already prodigious traffic on those lines must he still further augmented ; so that it may be truly assumed, that the addition thereto of several millions of tons of coals and goods is out of the question. It, therefore, becomes manifestly necessary, with a view to public convenience, and to supply the metropolis and the intermediate districts with coals from the coal fields in the north (from which at present the greater proportion is supplied) that an independent railway, devoted exclusively to the conveyance of coals and goods at a moderate and regular speed, should be constructed from Newcastle to London. It is, therefore, intended to confine this railway to carriage of coals and goods only ; and it is ascertained that the conveyance by railway of large quantities, for long distances, at a moderate speed, and at comperatively low rates, will be as profitable as the carriage of passengers at a greater velocity, The actual ex perience of the London and Birmingham Railway atforde a safe ground for calculation; the expenses on that line for the year 1844 being 1,4721. p:, mile; at the same rate per mile, 2,000.000 tens ot coal annually may be ~.....rought the entire distance from Newcastle; this quantity is about one-half of the present importation from London, making on the average from 13,000 to 14,000 tons daily. The extreme fluctuations to which the price of coal is subject from irregularity in the supply, dependent as it is on the uncer tainty of the winds and weather, has hitherto operated against the estabishment of manufactories on the banks of the Thames. Front the same cause, also, London has, at times narrowly escaped total darkness, the gas works not being able to obtain their regular supply of coals. In the course of the last five years the prices of household coal, on the Coal Exchange, have fluctuated between 14s. 6d. to 275. per ton, and last winter the price rose even to 355. per ton ; the high prices always occurring at a season when the scarcity, and consequently increased price of coal, is most distress ing to the poor. The removal of the colliers from the Pool is an important con sideration, as it will necessarily render the navigation of the Thames safer for all other vessels ; and it is no valid objection to this undertaking, that it will supersede, in a great measure the employment of collier ships, because it is now ascertained, be yond a'l doubt, that coals can be brought to London by railway at 20 per cent less than those sea-borne ; and, therefore, London will be supplied from Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and South Wales, unless the present project, or one offering equal advantages to the northern coal-owners, in their certain and fast approaching competition with the Infant collieries, be carried into effect. In addition to the through traffic, accommodation will be afforded to the intermediate districts for the conveyance of coals and goods, which will materially increase the revenue of the Company. The estimated cost of the line is 5,000,000/ , and the traffic, in coals alone, will give a net return of 10 per cent. It is proposed to raise the required capital in 200,000 shares of 251. each ; deposit 21. 12s. 6d. per share, the subsequent calls to be made in the usual way. The customary clauses will be inserted in the Act, limiting the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their respective Shares.

The Committee of Management, with the view of enabling re sponsible parties (desirous to participate in the allotment) to secure at least some shares in this great undertaking, will permit the pay ment of a preliminary deposit of 10s. 6d. per share previous to ap plication being made ; and will guarantee that the parties so paying shall have shares allotted them, to at least the number upon which the sum paid by them as a preliminary depcsit shall cover the full deposit of 21. 12s. 6d. They, however, reserve to themselves the right of limiting this privilege to the extent of 100 shares, If a larger number should be applied for, or even of refusing it, in cases where they may find on inquiry that the applicant is not in their judgment eligible to be a shareholder; in such cases the deposit will be immediately returned ; nor will this privilege be extended beyond the deposition of 100,000 shares, after which the bankers of the Company will receive instructions to refuse further prelimi • nary deposits. The preliminary de;'osits must be paid to the bankers of the Company, who will furnish a receipt for the same. '1 he Com. tnittee caution the public not to negotiate such receipts, as their undertaking to supply the shares holds good only so far as the applicants, upon their references being examined into, prove re spectable and responsible.

This undertaking is designed to supply the wants of an exten sive mineral and populous district, the local traffic of which alone is admitted to be sufficient to support a railway, and amply re munerate the eharei &eters. The line will not only accomplish so desirable an object, but it also possesses the advantage of Miming a direct communication, by the shortest possible route (in connexion with existing and projected railways), between two of the most important divisions of the kingdom. It is intended to commence by joining the Grand Junction Railway at StafFord, and proceed by the Uttoxeter, Rochester, d Ashbourne, to a junction with the Midland Railway, the Man chester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midland Railway, and the Amber gate, Nottingham, r, o,ton, and Eastern Junction Railway, at the General Terminus at Amber-gate; a short branch from Wirks - worth will connect the line with that town, and the important limestone and mineral district connected with it. The line will be about forty miles long, and by its connection with the Midland Railway at Amber-gate, and the Derby and Crewe Railway at Ut toxeter; will be the nearest practicable route from Sheffield, York, Leeds, Hull, the populous manufacturing districts of Yorkshire and the north and north eastern part of England, to the salt districts of Cheshire, the Potteries, Liverpool and North Wales, and by its junction at Stafford with the Shropshire Union Railway, will be the nearest route from those important districts to Shrewsbury and South Wales, and by the Grand Junction Railway, to the densely populated districts of South Staffordshire. The district is destitute of water communication, and it is only necessary to advert to a few of the prominent resources •f the country to show the magnitude of the local traffic. The price of coals on all parrs of the line is very high, being carted a distance or 10 to 15 miles. The cost of this indispensable artic'e of consumption will be reiuced nearly one-half, and this line will immediately communicate with the Derbyshire and Staf. fordshire coal-fields. The line will pass several valuable quarries of Derbyshire marble which is extensively used in all parts of the kingdom ; and also numerous lead-smelting works and rolling mills, producing large quantities of pig and sheet lead. It will afford an inexhaustible supply of little for the highly cultivated land on the banks of the Dove and Southward. It will open the Derbyshire mines to the Copper and Zinc Smelting Works in the neighbourhood of Cheadle, and will afford a direct communication with Sheffield for the articles manu'actured at those works, which at present are carted to Derby, a di Lance of more than twenty miles. Already a large cattle traffic exists with the north, which will unquestionably be greatly augmented by the facilities of this rail way, large importations of Scotch and Ycrkshire cattle will be brought for fattening,on the luxuriant pastures of the Dove, tak ing in return to the markets of the manufacturing towns, the corn, cheese, wool, and other produce of the extensive and fertile agri cultural district which surrounds the Staffordshire terminus of this railway. It will bring the already large cheese and cattle fairs of Uttoxeter and Ashbourne into greater importance. The iron furnaces of Scuth &taflbrdshire consume annually nearly a million tons of limestone. It is well known that the iron masters give a decided preference to the limestone of the south Peak, eve, any other that has hitherto bee n tried; the very great fusibility of this st one rendering it peculiar , ly suitable as a flux for reducing the stub born iron ores of South Staffordshire, and were it not for the dilatory and expensive Staffordshire, of transit it would now be used to the total exclusion of all ether kinds. The proximity of this railway to the iron district, the fact of its entering the limestone range at the most southern extremity, and the advantage of excavating the stone immediately on the line of rails, cannot but ensure to it a very large share of that enormous traffic, if it do no t engross the whole. The visitors to Dovedale and the Peak are already very nu merous. When this line and the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midland Junction Railway open this romantic scenery to the indus rious artisans who chiefly compose the great hives of popu latir n with which this railway will communicate, and make it easily accessible to this class of persons at a trifling sacrifice both of time and money, the revenue from this source alone during the summer months will be found to be of no inc.insiderable amount. The projectors feel convinced that this railway contains the ele ments of great prosperity, and that as an investment it offers more than ordinary security. The latdowners on the line are favourable to this undertaking. and the names of many influential proprietors will be found on the Provisional Committee. Arrangements have been made wi th the Derby and C r ewe Rail- ice the line way Company, who take a portion of the capital, and g their support and co-operation.

The object of this company is to effect a direct communication, toy railway, between Tunbridge Wells and Hastings, and also between Tunbridge Wells arid Brighton. The Hastings line (about twenty-two miles in length) will com mence at Tunhridge Wells, and run near Irma, Wadhurst, Lamberhurst, Etchingham, Hurst Green, Robertsbridge. Whatling ton, and Battle, having its terminus at the extremity of Hastings. The Brighton line (about twenty- two miles in length) will com mence at Tunbridge Wells, and take a direct course to Brighton. passing near May field, Rotherfield, Uckfield, Little Horstcd. and Lewes, where it will form a junction with the line, which is nearly completed, between Lewes and Brighton. The numerous visitors and inhabitants of the fashionatle watering-places of Tunbridge Wells, Brighton, and Hastings, si, el thus not merely enjoy the means of rapid communication with each other by railway —an advantage which ought to have boa ii supplied to them before this—but will also have, respectively, when the [imposed line from London to Tunbridge is formed, a continued and direct railway to the metropolis. The area embraced within these lines of railway is justly ie., ' markable for the variety aed va'ue of its agricultural produce, being one of the most extensive hop-districts in England, and not inferior in general fertility to any part of the kingdom ; and when it is considered that the metropolis is the principal, indeed, it may almost be said, the exclusive market for its productions, the profits arising from the conveyance of those productions filmic must form (independent of passenger traffic) a very large source of revenue to the shareholders. Even from the already developed resources of the extensive, wealthy, and populous districts through which the Company's lines will run, the most encouraging estimate of results may be justly entertained; and when the Hastings Dock and Harbour Company (which has already been provisionally registered) shall have camel into effect the proposed improvements, the line from that town to Tunbridge Wells must become one of the most profitable in Eng. land, as it will then be the great Highway of continental tourists. The route from London to Paris, by Hastings and Dieppe, is de_ eldedly the most direct, as well as the most interesting, which a glance at the map of Europe will satisfactorily show. To the town of Hastings and St. Leonard's, the greatest advan tages must accrue from the establishment of a railway, bringing them within two hours of the metropolis, and, through it, by the great line of which it is the focus, co nnecting them with every portion of the country. An immense increase in the number thot their opulent ;visitors must necessa ril y be the consequence, e climate of that part of the coast of Sussex being to yevon con sidered equally salubrious as the most favoured parts o . D ro a r s m ti a n t g io s n l o in f e a , to bra w nf i l , l l ,. from The t hCcornnlat n convenient p n o t n chelsea and the town and p ort of Rye, or to connect that line with the Hastings and As hford Coast line; either of which objects Ic contemplation r o l a n t ki t n h t e i i r e can be carried out at a very moderate expense, and must con-i -dcrablY increase the value of the principal project. To the inhabitants of Lewes and Brighton, the advantages to be derived frcm the Hastings line must be great. It will give hi creased facilities for the transport of the produce of the districts through which it passes, and will complete the railway commute. cation between Canterbury, Maidstone, Chatham, Rochester, and other towns in the county of Kent, and Brighton, Chichester, Portsmouth, Southampton, and other important towns in the western parts of the country. The existing traffic in passengers and goods (which must be materially increased by the establishment of railways) are too well known to require a detailed statement in this prospectus, and cannot fail to secure to the shareholders a large interest on the capital invested. A preliminary survey of the country has been made, and no part of it has heed found to offer engineering difficulties of more than ordinary character. The liability of the shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions, and, in the allotment of shares, a prefer ence will be given to landowners on the respective lines, and othet parties locally interested. per annum on alt calls, pre vious to the opening o f the lines. P ow er will be taken in the Act to allow interest at 4/. per cent. • • Th e Provisional Comm ittee reserve to themselves the power of ma ki ng alterations in the line or branches, and of ado p tin g the pr i nc iple, if advisable. Th e y are also determine,: on giving strict attention t o econom y in the expenditure of the acapital,andtgi°srihe c will thereby be enabled to guarantee lowe can charges ono t t h e c onveyance of passeng ers and goods, and ther be reasonable doubt, that when the traffic is fairly developed, the fun rate of la per cent. will be paid, and a surplus left for brand. lines, or a reduction of tolls. The strong feelings in favour of a direct line, evinced on the part of time public in Hastings and surrounding neighbourhood; the support of the landowners and agriculturists, with the numer ous and strong assurances received in favour of an independent Company, leave no doubt of the successful issue of an application to Parliament for an Act next Session. In order that every attention may be secured to local interests arrangements are now being made to add the names of gentlemet , of influence and property in the counties of Kent and Sussex to the Provisional Committee. Application for shares, with a reference, may be made, in the form annexed, to the Solicitor, or to the Secretary, pro tern, at the temporary Offices of the Company, No. 76, Basinghali street London ; and to the following Sharebrokers :—ln London, Mess' , • J. and 'l'.
