The Committee of Management hereby give Notice that they have COMPLETED the ALLOTMENT of SHARES, and that the usual letters are this day issued. In the arduous duty of deciding on claims unprecedented, it is believed, in their number and respecta bility, the Committee have been obliged to give a preference to ap plicants locally interested, or likely to bring to bear for tha Company a large share of legitimate influence. The numerous persons, with umioubted claims on the score of wealth and social standing, whose appOcations have either been passed over or cut down, are requested to accept this reason as the Committee's apology. The Committee d6sire to add, that while attestations of public support are daily reaching them from the most influential quarters, the engineering 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.

Successive Administrations, froni,he time of Mr. Pitt, have recog nised the importance of establishing at a point of the southern Coast of England, within an eligible distance from the Metropolis, a Har bour with docks and warehouses for bonding merchandise, whereby all vessels 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. Tile political con siderations which originally suggested the formation of such a har t; the revolution eil vastly effected ir i o n u fi g n l i t te l l h 3 e . s a t g rc e i nty t • h o e f n s ed te b a y m such an undertaking with a commercial importance which could not tir naval r av a a re l ,woafrfcoaurrse through have been previously anticipated. im proved modes of transit between London and the provinces invest On the whole southern coast, from the Land's-end to the :Core, Langston affords the only harbour adapted to the combined purposes here indicated. Its proximity to the great naval depot of Portsmouth —the unequalled excellence of its anchorage—the capacity of its basin—the ease and safety with which, at at all times of tide, it will be accessible to vessels of every burthen, establish its nautical supe riority; while with London, only 66 miles from the docka, a rapid communication is ensured by railway. 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 for the intrinsic excellence of the measure on public and national grounds. A grant of Crown lands for the site of the Docks has been obtained, subject to stipulation* 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 100 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 front 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 g 1843, 2,901,271 tons :—Of ships entering London from the colonies, during the same date, 492,805 tons : —Of vessels entering from foreign ports, during the same date, 814 , 592 to ns :—And of general shipping. entered during the same period , 1,317,671 tons.

Commencing at Cambridge, which has 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 ani itipterborough line; it will then proceed west— ward, crossing the Oxiitrd and-Rugby line at or near Fenny-Compton to Stratford-on-Al:cm, there joining the proposed use 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 manufactariug 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 Coun ties Railwa)c Company, by which their support and co-operation will be 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. Power will be reserved to the Directors to amalgamate with any other existing or projecting Companies, or to vary the line.

BANKERS—The London and County Joint-Stock Bank in London and Croydon, The object of this Company is to connect the London and Birming ham. and the Great Western, with the South-Western, the London and Brighton, and the South-Eastern Railways, by means of a line commencing at a point on the London and Birmingham Railway, about four miles from the station at Euston-square ; proceeding from which, it will join the Great Western, and continue onwards by Ken sington, Chelsea, Walham-green, Parson's-green, and Pulliam, there crossing the river Thames to Wandsworth. It will then proceed to the station of the South-Western Railway on Wandsworth-common, and continue its course by Upper and Lower Tooting, Streatham, and Mitcham, to 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 completion of our railway system. Various schemes have been entertained from time to time for the accomplishment of the object, but in the opinion of practical men, from the inconvenience which must arise to existing interests, and the consequent destruction of valuable property in the heart of a great city by such a project, it has always been discountenanced as impracticable. This Company, therefbre, propose to get rid of the difficulty by the" formation of this connecting line, at the least in convenient distance from the metropolis, by which the great lines already mentioned will enjoy the advantages of intercommunication in a manner most conducive to the interests of the public, and at the same time with little injury 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 don Railway (which, in fact, forms a portion of their proposed line), by some amicable arrangement with its present proprietors, the London and Birmingham Railway Company; and they will thus be enabled to secure a great saving both of money and time in carrying out their project. There is one feature in this undertaking which cannot fail to inte rest the inhabitants of Wandsworth, and of the populous districts around it. The construction of a bridge over the Thames, adequate not merely for the purpose of a railway, but also of sufficient width and of proper arrangement to serve as a public thoroughfare for car riages and foot passengers, must of necessity be of immense advan tage to the inhabitants not only of that district, but those of the western parts of the metropolis. It is evident that it must be so, when it is considered that in proceeding to Wandsworth, Tooting, or Croydon, they are now obliged to cross the Thames by a circuitous 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 _ _ tons. quainted with the nature of the im p ort, ex p ort, and coasting trade toumrcpeasnyefatrlelesufficonetiecminniylaotebc,l ie tr us aft o c t a h i ,,, id e c ,, of h is o eq a u r e e nt a r t ea a •c ll n a u c e_s of T tl i t l e e 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 on a voyage u ss p ,ot a il n d d btleo7nonChaannel, vessela d o is f tan ls c o e o t.o f n t s h , re s e w h . m l i 6 d s re . d Od mi .; le o s f e 3 a w ch w to a n y s: 1021. 2s. ; of 600 tons, 2281. 188. 6d., and on one of 1,060 tons, 358/. 16s.—exclusive of the saving of insurance, the difference of port charges, pilotage, light dues, seamens' wages, and various other items of expediture, familiar to every merchant and shipowner. Though it is impossible to approximate to an accurate estimate of the proportion of this vast trade likely to be secured to Langston, yet 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 hoportedlis housed and bonded for exportation ; that such goods cannot be deposited so advantageously as at Langston, to 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 warehouses, it should be mentioned, that by the railway to be con structed as indicated on the plan, and by railways now in regularly exhibited in the suffices of the London broke rs, as from the East or West India Docks. By th is mode of conveyance all descrip tionsmy of light goods may be for warded to the metropolis, while a most operation b e and in the course of construction , m ercantile samples as economic transit to the same destination is secured to heavy mer chandise, by the canal already opened between the harbour and the Thames. th,el I n a rg im e po h rt m a not marketsoun-•e i o n f co e 11 0 1 , 9 ,1 1 a l u l t i a , e r i o t d t u m c e a } a - n a d l s g o o b o d e a bornen i anticipated t, f ‘ r i e s i e n , now furnished by a circuitous and expensive route to the populous towns of Portsmouth, Havant, POrtSett, Gosport, Fareham, and Chi chester, and the South and the South Midland counties. Of these places Langston will naturally have the exclusive supply; and the population whose wants in the consumption of these commodities will be thus administered to, amounts to considerably upwards of ohs t million, of whom 120,000 are engaged in trade and commerce. This result is obtained by taking merely the counties of Hants, Sussex, Wilts, and Dorset, though a much more comprehensive area may reasonably be included, as certain to participate in the advantages which Langston, of all harbours on the southern coast alone pre. gents. Thus this depot for articles consumed within the limited circle described, is in itself sufficient to create a market that would warrant the construction of the proposed docks and bonded ware houses. • The combined advantages of the locality for all purposes contemn plated by the Company or required in a national or mercantile point of view, leave no doubt of the complete success of this great commer cial project, which, while it disturbs no existing interests, is calcu lated to develop° fresh resources of the country, and stimulate indivi dual enterprise to a degree to which no mere private speculation af fords a parallel. At present, the rate of interest is estimated at .71 per cent. ; but the most cursory analysis of the merits of this undertaking must de monstrate that such a calculation is considerably below the average of mercantile probabilities. Until an Act of Parliament be obtained, the affairs of this Com pany will be under the control of the Providonal Committee of Ma ' nagement, which shall have full power to effect arrangements with the projectors of this undertaking for the purchase of their interest in the site for the docks ; and to effect any other arrangements whatso ever in anywise relating to the said railway and docks.

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 Coldfleld, 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 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, and 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 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 Bit , 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 mile., 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 also 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.

Jones, The length of this line will be 80 miles, serling as a d're,s main trunk connexion and continuation of two other import. t lines; one in the course of formation, viz.—from Kilkenny t.) ♦Yaterford, and the other, the Midland Great Western Extension to Sligo—of whose success next session the requirements of 11 country and the intrinsic excellence of that project forbid ai y reasonable doubt being entertained. The aggregate of the tt.r.-; lines will be about 170 miles, traversing, almost in a strailo course, the entire centre of the island, from its principal p::tt on the North-west, to its principal port on the South..east ; intersecting districts whose teeming fertility is proverbial even :1, Ireland, and opening up sources of mineral and manuracturi!.g wealtit hitherto neglected, or discredited; because deprived ,)f those facilities ea, eutial to their profitable developmtnt, which l i• the object of the present undertaking to supply. interfering with no existing interests, and not susceptible of bolAg itself menaced by futute schemes, the Great \\•a'crford, and Sligo Railway appeals to public consideration on ground: m‘ re important than probably anything of a like nature yet breached in Ireland. W ithout the . lightest increase, the preAent traffic wootel guarantee an untnwally lucrati•c return upon the investment of the capital called for ; anti such is the peculiar nature of the country, that the completion of the line must be productive or vast advantages to the nation generally, in furnishing an i► , x. haustible home supply of costly and indispensable counnodities of universal consumption now eircuitotndy imported over •, while it must alto held out irresistible intiticcumnts for the ion, along it 6 route, of Brit'.ll and foreign enterpri.e, wea;th. This is the only line in Ireland embracing the almost the exclusive—seats of native coal and iron. At it,. southern terminus of the eighty rakes about to be t-ti- strutted, coal in illimitable quantity And of the finest quality abounds ;—at the northern terminus the Mlle may be said of iron, though for want of the means of smelting, the or* has been turned to little or no account on the spot, and of cour,,e& market at a distance is unattainable by prvent modes of conveyai.ce. The advantages of thus bringing these coal and iran mines i uto juxta position need not be enumerated ; and it would be equally superfluous to dwell on the pecuniary merits of a line which, in addition to the distinguishing feature just mentioned, accomnso. dates an agricultural interest surpassing that of any area of tbe same extent in Ireland. Commencing at the Waterford and Kilkenny terminus, in Use latter city, the line will pass, almost midway, through the 'teat 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, B.IU. nakill, Abbeyleix, Balleyrowan, Mountrath, hfaryborough, Mount. mellick, Portarlington, Geashill, Tullamore, Phillipstown, Kll. beggan, Clara, hfoate, Ballymahon, and Longford. The popula , ion is upwards of rime million and .1 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 boas moderately estimated at 90,3371. per annum ; while the live stock 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 Wow tern Extension, much of the produce of Sligo, now going a :Ile mile voyage to Liverpool, and much more that hardly pays the cost of rearing, because of the Isolated position of that county, must come along this line, directly communicating with so fine a port as Waterford, the nearest to Bristol, and to the profitable markets of the seuth.west of England. All writers on the capabilities of ire.. land have enforced the necessity of throwing open Sligo to such 111- tercourse ai is here offered, and the recent data of the " Tim( s'" Commissioner more than confirm the propriety of such suggestion` 2d. Being met at Longford by the Limerick and Belfast Union, which, like the majority of the Northern railways, finds a con - neon focus at Clones, the principal markets of Ulster, Central Leinster, and the East of Munster, are rendered mutually available by this line. And, 3dly. No line of any considerable length can be constructed In Ireland without becoming, in a greater or less degree, an auxiliary to this line nor can any be projected to its material detriment, unless running precisely parallel Thom terminus to terminus. The suitability of the proposed SO miles, for engineering pur poses, may begathered fl'om the fact, that the line will cross both the Grand and the Royal Canals, the summit level of the former being 279, and of the latter, at Mullingar, only 322 feet above the 12reg 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 se long and fatally In. fluenced industrial enterprise in Ireland, though happily even the►e prosperity is now rapidly becoming manifest. The exit &or. dinary abundance and unequalled excellence of the iron in this district are a matter both of history ant' present nototiety. Two centuries ago, when charcoal could be procured for smelting, It formed a large article of sx4rt to London, being prized as we now prize Swedish and Russian Iron—used only for steel, chile cake, and the like—and of treble and quadruple the value of Bri'lsh iron. Dr. Kane, in his invaluable volume, " The Industrial Rs. 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 isa the preparation of peat fuel, will restore the superiority in thla article, which the singular richness of the mineral should secure to the locality. The reader is referred to the foregoing standard authority (second edition, 1845) for the fullest and most satifatt tory information on this point ;:and also for a complete confirms: ion of what bas already been imperfectly glanced at, as to the re,ilta certain to spring from the contemplated railroad. Not only does the railroad about to be made by this Company couple the iron and coal works of Ireland in a direct and conti out line, but the route abounds with numerous other elements of manufacturing and commercial greatness, all of which will lees called into active vitality as this undertaking progresses. In estimating the magnitude of this project in its entirety, as extending from shore to shore through the heart of Ireland, it le hardly possible to exaggerate the importance of the proximity of the noble harbour of Waterford to the English coast ; and these advantages must every day increase in proportion as railway c , munication between London and the southern counties improve , .

This line of railway, although only about twenty-eight miles in length, is a most important one, as forming a connecting link to several existing lines, and across a district at present destitute 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 about sixteen between Thirsk and Scarborough. It would certainly be the grand route to Whitby, Scarborough, and Burlington, and the intermediate towns of Helmsley and Kirkby-Moorside, so badly provided for at present with railway accommodation, from all 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 number, and are friendly to the project, which presents no great engineering difficulties. It in terferes with no existing railway property, and every care will be taken not to interfere with any ornamental property. It will at once appear unnecessary, with respeckto this line, to enter into details of passengers and goods traffic. They cannot 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 proposed Company will be under the control of the Committee, of whom five are to be a quorum. Application for shares must be 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 one of the following share brokers—viz., Messrs. Boyd, 4, New Bank-buildings; and Robert Johnston, Esq., 5, Shorter's-court, Throgmort , m-street, London; Messrs. Risdales, Myers, and Bailey, and James Hill and Co., Leeds ; Messrs. Watson and Taylor, Darlington. FORM or APPLICATION FOR SHARES. To the Committee ol the Whitby, Pickering, Thirsk, and Great North of England Junction Railway.
