This • 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 be brought as near as practicable to its centre. Proceeding thence in a northerly direction, and on the west side of the Lichfield road, it will pass within a short distance of Sutton Coldfield, and to Lichfield, at the latter of which ?laces 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 to Abbots Bromley to Leigh, where it will leave the Blythe Valley, and by a short cutting reach the Tean station on Reming:on'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 fitVetir 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 ofOctober. 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 13111111ns ham to the Potteries than any line made or projected by Several miles, assuming any of the projected Pottery lines to have their ter mini at Colwich, on the Trent Valley, or at Stafford, on the Grand Junction Railway ; thus giving to Manchester, and a:so the Pot teries, the shortest, easiest, and most direct route to Birmingham. It will also give the nearest line between Huddersfield and Birming 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 Leeds, Huddersfield, Sheffield, and the northern parts of England. In allotting shares every legi timate preference will be given to the landholders on the line. It is obvious that the projected line will afford an ample return to the shareholders.

The Committee desire to add, that while attestations of public support are daily reachinr , them from the most influential quarters , the.enginecring preparations, ' under Mr. Braithwaite, are so far ad vanced, that the project cannot fail to be placed before Parliament in a manner the most satisfactory to the Shareholders.

PARLIAIIENTARE .AGENT—William Dryden, Esq. 4, New Palace- yard. SECRETARY—Wad= Case, Esq. BANKERS—The London and County Joint-Stock Bank in London and Croydon The object of this Company is to connect the London and Binning ham, and the Great Western, with the South-Western, the London a. d Brighton, and the South-Eastern Railways, by means of a line comMetteinX at a point on the London and Birmingham Railway, ab , ut four milea frOilt the station at Euston-s.ivare ; proceeding front which, it will join the (IMO Western, and continue onwards by Ken sington, Chelsea, Walliam-greett,-Parson's-green, and Fulham, there crossing the river Thames to Wandsworth. It will then proceed to the station of the South-Western Railway on Wandsworth-common, anti cCintintla its course by Upper and Lower Tooting, Streatham, and Mitcham, (0 the joint station of the London and Brighton, and the south-Eastern Companies at Croydon. That the great trunk lines of railway which connect the provinces with the metropolis, should be United by a common terminus, has long been an object much desired by all who • take an interest in the effilipletiOn of our railway system. Various st'lleines have been entertained from time to time for the accomplishment of the object, but in the opinion of practical men, from the inconvenience Width must arise to existing interests, and the consequent destruction of valuable property in the heart of a rent city by such a project, it has always been discountenanced as ihmtactirable. This Company, therefore, propose to get rid of the diftletilly by the formation of this connecting line, at the least in ebni-eriipiit distance fl'om the metropolis, by which the great lines dreddy iiitittiotied will enjoy the advantages of intercommunication in a manner itioNt enatincive to the interests of the public, and at the same time with little frjary to the property of individuals. The Company have reason to think that their labours will be-con siderably diminished by taking advantage of the present West Lon dnii Railivsy (which, in fact, flirms a portion of their proposed line), by !eine emicable arrangement with its present proprietors, the trindnil IBA Birmingham Railway Company; and they will thus be enabled tb scare a great saving both of money and time in carrying out theif There is one feattife in this undertaking which cannot fail to inte rest the inhabitants Of.WatidtWorth, and of the populous districts around it. The construction tit a bridge over the Thames, adequate not merely for the purpose ;,1 a railway, but also of sufficient width and of proper arrangement to Se;, 'e as a public thoroughfare for car dans and foot passengers, must of ne: ssitY tage to the inhabitants not on l y o f t h a t be of immense adVall trict, but those of the western parts of the metropolis. It is evident . thanwhen it is considered th a t i n p rocee di ng t o W an d swonn , ft . !. it , s must be so, or Croydon, they are now obliged to cross the Thames by a circuit.. route, over one of the old wooden bridges, either at Battersea or Putney, both being very far out of the direct line to those places al ready mentioned. - - It is equally clear that it must be a source of considerable income to the shareholders of this Company, as it is intended to take tolls, which being moderate, will at the same time (from the great traffic that may reasonably be anticipated) form a source of great remunera tion to the shareholders. Independent of the profitable source of revenue which must accrue from the traffic both in passengers and goods between the several great railways which this line will connect, the Company have every reason to hold out the most flattering encouragements to the public., from the rapidly increasing importance of the several suburban towns on the course of the line. The Company intend to make at the Wandsworth end of the pro posed bridge a depot for goods, which will give great facility for the conveyance by water ^arriage, on the one hand, for g(KOs intended for exportation, and on tile other a cheap and expeditious mode of transit for goods intended for the interior. Passengers going by the Birmingham, or Great Western Railway, or from the western parts of the metropolis, to the railways on the south of the Thames, R ill not only avoid the great inconvenience of passing through the crowded streets of London, but will also effect a saving in time of one hour and a quarter by means of this proposed line. As an earnest for the speedy completion of the undertaking, the Company have it in their power to state that surveys have already been made, and that all the other necessary proceedings in the engi neering department are in such a state of forwardness as to warrant them in stating that the necessary plans required by the standing orde , s of Parliament will be ready for depositing by the 10th of No vember next. _ _ _• _ _ The liability of the shareholders will he limited to the amount of their several subscriptions, and in the allotn cut of shares preference will he given tOpartics locally interested. Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at the rate of 4/. per cent. upon all calls previous to the opening of the line.

This line of railway, although only about twenty-eight miles in length, is a most important one, as forming a connecting link to seve ral existing lines, and across a district at p resen t d e stitute of such accommodation. It commences at the Thirsk station on the Great North of England Railway, and proceeds in a direct line to Pickering, where it will form a junction with the York, Scarborough, Pickering, and Whitby lines. It is supported by the various com panies having lines of railway running into Leeds and Thirsk, and by means of this proposed line a distance of twenty-two miles will be saved between Thirsk and Whitby, and abo sixteen between Thirsk and Scarborough. It would certainly be the grand route to Whitby, Scarborough, and Burlington, and the intermedinte towns of Helmsley and Kirkby-Moorside, so badly provided for at present with railway accommodation, from an places west or north of Thirsk, and it would necessarily open out a traffic, for which the present means of communication are altogether inadequate. The landowners on the line are few in num , er, and are friendly to the project, which presents no great engineering difficulties. It in terferes with no existi n g railwa y property, and every care will be taken not to interfere with any ornamental property. It will at once appear unneccesary,with es -- pect to this line, to enter into details of passe ngers and goods traffic. Theycannot for a mo ment be questioned; and when by this railway so much easier access is made between the important seaport of Whitby and the fashion able resorts of Scarborough, Burlington Quay, and Harrowgate, as well as the populous and Important towns of the West Riding of York shire and Lancashire, with which it will form an uninterrupted com munication, it cannot fail to be highly beneficial to those interested in this undertaking. Until the Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the propose d Company will be under the control of the Committee, of whom five are to be a quorum. Application for shares must he made to the solicitors of the Com • pany (of whom prospectuses and forms of applications may be ob tained), accompanied by a reference either to some member of the Committee, one of the solicitors, or on e of th e f o ll ow i ng share brokers—vizMessrs.

Successive Administrations, from the time of Mr. Pitt, hare recog nised the importance of establishing at a point of the southern Coast or England, within an eligible distance from the Metropolis, A Har bour tit ith docks and warehouses for bonding merchandise, whereby all 'tassels from the westward may save the delay and expense of a voyage up channel, and avoid the risk to which that tedious and dangerous navigation necessarily exposes them. The political con siderations which originally suggested the limitation of such a har bour arc, of course, infinitely strengthened by the revolution effected in naval warfare through the agency of steam ; while the vastly im proved modes of transit between London and the provinces invest such an midertaking wi h a commercial importance which could not have been previously anticipated. On the whole southern coast, from the Land's-end to the Fore, Langston affords the only harbour adapted to the combined purposes here indicated. Its proximity to thegreat naval depot of Portsmouth —the unequalled excellence of its anchorage—the capacity of its basin—the ease and stingy with which, at at all times of tide, it will be accessible to vessels of every burthen, establish its nautical supe riot ity ; while with. London, only 66 miles from the docks, a rapid communication is ensured by rsilway. " " ...... The promoters have great satisfaction In announcing that the un dertaking has received the approval of the Lords of the Treasury, of the Board of Ordnance, and of the Woods and Forests, whose sanc tion is a guarantee fer the intrinsic excellence of the meastre on public and national grounds. A grant of Crown lands for the site of the Docks has been obtained, subject to stipulations most favour able to the Company. The circumstances under which the land is secured will allow of such a reduction in the scale of charges and the expenses of ma nagement, compared with those of similar establishments, as must at once command an extensive business; and the Committee feel as sured that they may recommend the undertaking as an investment likely to prove highly remunerative. The plan inclosed with the prospectus exhibits the situation of the intended docks and warehouses, and of the adjacent localities in con nexion with the harbour. The area proposed to be inclosed by the boundary wall Is 220 acres, of which If 0 will be appropriated to docks, and 120 for warehouses, quays, roads, &c. Of the immense extent of the commerce for which these advan tages are available at Langston, some idea may be acquired from the subjoined data, taken from the official returns presented to Parlia ment during the last session:— Tonnage of vessels registered at Portsmouth, for the year 1844, _ . 13,623 tons :—Of coasting vessels entering the pert of London, duri 1843, 2,901,271 tons :—t if ships entering London from the Colonies, during the Fame date, 492,805 tons : —Of vessels entering from foreign ports, during the same date, 814,592 ton :—And of general shipping, entered during the same period, 1,317,671 tons. Total, 5,539,962 tons. The sources of the contemplated traffic and consequent revenues of the Company are sufficiently obvious to those who are at all ac quainted with the nature of the import, export, and coasting trade of the country ; but to the public generally the following statement may be necessary. The inducements to shipowners and merchants to adopt Langston are of the strongest possible nature, for not only ate the well-known perils of the Channel altogether avoided, but the saving 011 a voyage up and down Channel, a distance of three hundred miles each way, would be, on a vessel of 150 tons, 591. 16s Gd.; of 300 tons, 102/. 2s. ; of 600 tons, 2281. 18s. Gd., and on ono of LOGO tons, 358/. 16s.—exclusive of the saving of inairance, the difference of port charges, pilotage, light dues, seamens' wages, and various otker items of expediture, familiar td every merchant and shipowner. Though it is impossible to approximate to au accurate estimate of the proportion 01 this vast trade likely to be secured to Langston, yyt it must be evident that much of it must be secured, and that even a fractional part of it would alone constitute a very extensive busi ness. But it will be apparent that a large proportion must be concen trated at the Langston Docks, when it is considered that a great por tion of the goods isoportedits housed and bonded for es at Langston, x p r tati o t ; that such goods cannot be dep osited so advantageously as which the privileges of a bonded port are already accorded by the Treasury ; and that thence merchandise may be re-shipped and dis patched to sea more speedily and at far less expense than any other port in the United Kingdom. In connexion with the extreme eligibility of Langston for bonded warehoust s, It should be mentioned, that by the railw a y t o b e co strutted as indicated on the plan, and by railways now in operation ••• the course of construction, mercantile samples may be as ana I•lbited in the codices of the Lomb brokers, n as from the regularly cu.... • • Docks.

The length of this line will be 80 miles, serving as a cl , rect main trunk connexion and continuation of two other important lines; one in the course of formation, viz.—from Kilkenny to Waterford, and the other, the Midland Great Western Extension to Sligo—of whose success next session the requirements of the country and the intrinsic excellence of that project forbid any • reasonable doubt being entertained. The aggregate of the ttree lines will be about 170 miles, traversing, almost in a straight course, the entire centre of the island, from its principal port on the North.west, to its principal port on the South..east ; intersecting districts whose teeming fertility is proverbial even in Ireland, and opening up sources of mineral and manufacturing wealth hitherto neglected, or discredited; because deprived of those facilities essential to their profitable development, which it is the object of the present undertakiug to supply. Interfering with no <xistir g interests, and not susceptible of being itself menaced by future schemes, the Great Wa•erford, Kilkenny, and Sligo Railway appeals to public consideration on grounds more important than probably anything of a like nature yet broached in Ireland. Without the slightest lrxrea,e, the present traffic would guarantee an unusually lucrative return upon the investment of the capital called for; aid such is the peculiar nature of the country, that the comp!, tion of the line must be productive of cast advantages to the nation generally, in furnishing an inex haustible home supply of costly and indispensable commodities of universal consumption now circuitously imported <eve( sea; while it must also hold out irresistible inducements for the loca tion, along its route, of British and foreign enterprise, wealth, and skit!. This is the only line in Ireland embracing the princival _- almost the exclusive—scats of naive co:,l and iron. At the southern terminus of the eighty miles about to be con structed, coal in illimitable quantity and of the finest quality abounds ; at the northern terminus the same may be said of iron, though for rant of the means of rmening, the ere has Leen turned to little or no account on the spot, and of course a market at a distance is unattainable by pre,ent modes of conveyanc e . The advantages of thus bringing these coal and into mines into juxta position need not be enumerated ; and it would be equary supertltious to dwell on the pecuniary merits of a line whic!i, addition to the distinguishing feature just mentioned, accemmo. riates an agricultural interest surpassing that of any area of the same extent in Ireland. ' • -• Commencing at the Waterford and Kilkenny terminus, in the latter city, the line will pass, almost midway, through the great grazing and corn-growing districts of the Queen's and King's County, Westmeath, and Longford, touching at or near all their principal towns, namely—Freshfield, Ballyragget, Durrow, Balli. nakill, Abbeyleix, Balleyrowan, lUountrath, Maryborough, Mount. mellick, Portarlington, Geashill, Tiallamore, Phillipstown, Kit. beggsn, Clara, Moate, Ballymahon, and Longford. Tne population is upwards of one million and at quarter. more than one-half of the inhabitants of the towns being engaged in trades and manufactures. Hence the passenger traffic, computed with great care, has been moderately estimated at 90,337/. per annum ; white the live mod: of the district was valued in 1841 at 3,639,035/. the conveyance of which must devolve upon this Company. A vast increase in both these items may with certainty be anticipated, for the following, among many other reasons :- Ist. By the junction at Longford with the Midland Great Wes.. tern Extension, much of the produce of Sligo, now going a 354 mile voyage to Liverpool, and much trove that hardly pays the cost of rearing, because of the isolated position of that county, must comealong this line, directly communicating with ao fine a port as Waterford, the nearest to Bris tol, and to the pro fi table markets of the southwest of England. Alt writers on the capabilities of Ire. land have enforced the n e c essit y of throwing open SIT° to such in . tercourse as is here offered, and the recent data of the Commissioner more than confirm the propriety of such suggestions. 2 m et at Longford by the Limerick and Belfast Union, which, like Being the majority of the Northern railways, finds a common focus at Clones, the principal markets of Ulster, Central Leinster, and the East of Munster, are rendered mutually available by this line. And, idly. No line of any considecable length can be constructed in Ireland without becoming, in a greater or less degree, an auxiliary to this lire ; nor can any be projected to its material detriment, unless running precisely parallel from terminus to terminus. The suitability of the proposed 80 miles, for engineering pur. poses, may be gathered from the fact, that the line a in cross both the Grand and the Royal Canals, the summit level of the former being 270, and of the latter, at Mullingar, only 322 feet above the level of the sea, and few elevations along the whole route are greater. In Longford county, on the Roscommon and Sligo border, the line slightly skirts Lough Allen; while the Midland Great Western Extension, immediately after, enters the valley of the Arigna, the history of the iron-works on whose banks so long and fatally in. flucnced industrial enterprise in Ireland, though happily even there prosperity is now rapidly becoming nianifest. The extraor. dinary abundance and unequalled excellence of the iron in this district are a matter both of history and present notoriety, I'v° visturies ago, when charcoal could be procured for smelting, it formed a large article of export to London, bettig prized as we now prize Svedish and Russian Iron—used only for steel, eh r n i , Ca bl es. and the like—and of treble and quadruple the value of ,British iron. Dr. Kane, in his invaluable volume, " The Monate - id Re. sources of Ireland," adduces ample reason for anticipating that the transport of coal (especially the anthracite coal of Kilkenny) into the neighbourhood of Lough Allen, and the improvements in the preparation of peat fuel, will restore the superiority in this article, which the singular richness of the mineral should secure to the locality. The reader is referred to the foregoing standard aitnh „,l,; - (second edition, 18.11 i) for the fullest and most asuis;,e. tory infermat;O n on this pointvary). also for a complete con fiemat of what has already been imperfectly glanced at, as to the re,t.:ts certain to spring from the contemplated railroad. Not only does the railroad shout to be merle by thin Cllmpany couple the iron and coal works of Ireland in a direct and contn out line, but the route abounds with numerous of her elements '.5 manufacturing and commercial greatness, all of which *ill !,e celled into active vitality as this undertaking progresses. In estimating the magnitude of this project in its entirety, vs extending from shore to shore through the hart of Irelat4d, it hardly possible to exaggerate the importance of the proxbnify et the noble harbour rf Waterford to the English coast; aisclth-,ve advantsges must every day increase in proportion as ritilwry munication between Londan end tli?. southern counties iropnlycE.
