This Company has been formed for the purpose of - constructing a line in continuation of the South-Eastern Railway at Reigate, whereby a direct junction will be effected between the whole of the south-eastern coast, including the port and harbour of Dover and the several ports and towns of Southampton, Gosport, Portsmouth, and Bristol; and, bymeaus of the Bristol and Birmingham Railway, with Gloucester, Worcester, Birmingham, 31ancliester, Liverpool, and the north of England. From its proximity to the Continent, the port of Dover will always be the most accessible point of the English coast; an expeditious communication thereflire between that and the other ports, harbours, and inland:towns of the United Kingdom, must necessarily be regarded as a great national advantage. Dover is at present the chief port of embarkation for Calais, Boulogne, Ostend, and other continental towns, and the vast numbers already resorting there both on business and pleasure, will be im measurably increased when the railways of France, Belgium, Hol land, and Gsrmany are fully brought into operation. In addition to which, the Government Commissioners having selected Dover as a Barbour of Refuge, and recommended the , outlay therg. • of 1,500,0001., it cannot fail of becoming a place of the greatest resort for the shipping and commercial interests of the coun try, and perhaps the most hnportant town on tffe southern coast. In every point of view, therefore, whether for national security - , or for travelling excursions, or the invaluable interests of our shipping and commerce, the paramount importance of a cheaper, more conve nient, and accelerated intercourse between this great port and all parts of the kingdom, must he sufficiently obvious. This the pro moters fully anticipate will be attained by the proposed railway, which will form a portion of a grand trunk line, completing the chain of railway communication t pun the narrow gauge between the south-eastern coast, and Bristol and the western, northern, and mid land counties. The lime will commence at the terminus of the Sonth-Eastern Rail way at Reigate, proceed thence by Dorkiw, Coda!ming, Farnham, and Odiham to the Basingstoke station, on the South-Western Rail way. It will then proceed by Andover towards Devizes, Trow bridge, and Bradford, with a branch to Path, and pursuing its course through the Somersetshire coal-field, throwing off a branch towards ltadstock into the heart of the collieries, terminate in a junction with the Bristol and Birmingham Railway at Bristol. By its course through Dorking, Godahning, Farnham, and Odi ham, it will :apply the railway accommodation so much required by those towns, and connect the rich and fertile hop districts of Surrey, Kent, and South Hants, and afford the menus of conveyance of their produce to the great Hop-fair at Weyhill. By its junction with the contemplated " Reading, Guildford, and Reigate ," it will afford to the inhabitants of Reading, Oxford, and to the midland counties generally, the best and shortest route to the Continent, as well as to Worthing, Hastings, Brighton, and the other watering-places in Sussex and Kent; and a vast increase of visitors will undoubtedly be attracted to those places from the interior of England by the accommodation and facilities for travelling which will be accomplished by this and the proposed railway from Reading. By its intersection of the South-Western Railway at Basingstoke, and of the proposed Manchester and Southampton Railway further west, the present line will connect Dover towards the south, wills Southampton (the packet station for the bast and West Indies, &e.), Gosport, and Fortsmouth, and towards the north, with Cheltenham, Gloucester, Worcester, Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool, also with Shrewsbury, Chester, and Holyhead, and la fact with the whole of North and South Wales. At Basingstoke, also, tills line wit join the proposed London, Salis bury, and YeoTil Railway, anti throw open to Dover and the sou•h eastern counties the populous a , A wealthy cities of Salisbury and Exeter, the rich agricultural counties of Wilts, Dorset, Somerset, and Devon, the p -rts of Plymouth, Devonport, and Falmouth, and the mineral regions of Cornwall. To Devizes, Trowbridge, Bradford, and Bath, and the other towns in the vicinity of its course, the benefit which this line confer cloriot be too highly estimated; to the coal districts of Somerset shire it will open large and constant markets both is Bristol and to the south and cast, while to the inhabitants of Bristol especially, con necting its climmel with the Straits of Dover and the Downs, pro viding a perfect line for telegraphic communication, and securing to them the whole of the trade between the south-east of England and the west and south of Ireland, it seems difficult, considering the enor mous traffic which must necessarily flow to that city, to conceive a project more deserving of their cordial support. In the memorable Parliamentary contest last session between two great rival companies, the T.egislature for the first time admitted that principle of coAnpetition with existing interests which was claimed by the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company for the protection and benefit of the public ; and it is with no fear of the resu't' that the promoters of the present undertaking invite attention to one distinguishing feature it contains, viz., that by the construction of the line from Bristol t m Basingstoke, the Box Tunnel will be avoided, and "a new and independent communication will be established between Bristol and London, by a shorter line on the narrow gauge than by the devious course. of the Great Western, inde pendently of all the advantages of the proposed central station at Hungerford-bridge, and the convenient access to the Thames both there and at Nine Elms, over the distant and inconvenient statio n of the Great Western at Paddington. In length the proposed line will be nearly 110 miles (assuming this Company to have the construction of that portion between Reigate and Dorking, for which plans have been deposited by the South- Eastern Company)—the country through which it passes does not present any engineering difficulties of moment, nor will any rest , dential or ornamental property be interfered with except under an imperative necessity. A reserve of shares will be made for landowners on the line, and the Committee also retain to themselves the power to vary the course of the line with reference to any arrangements with existing interests and projected lines that may be considered advantageous to the shareholders. The capital proposed to be raised is 1,500,0001., in 75,000 shares of 201. each, with a deposit of 21. 2s. per share, to be NM on allotment. Power will be taken by the Act to allow interest, at 4/. per cent. per annum, upon all deposits and subscriptions until the opening of the line, and no subscriber shall be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act has been obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. The Subscribers' Agreement and the Parliamentary Contract will be ready for execution, and the scrip issued immediately upon pay ment of the deposits. Applications for shares must be addressed to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, No. 12, Gray's Inn-place, only ; but n, app. catibn will be attended to unless accompanied by a reference to a member of the Provisional Committee, one of the solicitors to the Company, or a banker. _ _-- - Copies of the prospectus and form of application for shares may be obtained at the offices of the Company, or of Messrs.

The imrortance of connecting remote parts of E gland by Rail ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns and districts, can scarcely be beter cxemylified than by the Line which is I,ovr proposed to form a short and direct channel of inter course between Oxford and Salisbury. Numerous projected lines now before the public will make Oxford at the north, and Salk , bary at the south of the intended Railroad the central points from which various radii will diverge to the north-west, north, and north-east of the former, and to the east, south, and west of the latter; and the proposed Line from Cambridge to Ox'ord, continuing to that city the course of Railway from the north-eastern parts of the island, requires the appliance now suggested to effect a corsp:ete means of transit to the western and south-western counties. The Oxford and salisbury Direct Railway, in addition to the benefits which will he conferred upon the nation at large, by preferring a direct line of commun'cation be tween the north-eastern and western and south-western parts of England, will afford to the borough of Abingdon, the market towns of Wantage, Dungerford, and Ludgershall, and the adjacent villages, en important railway accommodation, of which the agricultural districts in which they are seated stand In much need, and will provide a facility for the interchange of produce be tween the rural, manufacturing, and commercial popnlation of the kingdom. accommodation has long been felt to press the important and thriving town of Abingdon. Their maims and opportitmties of competing with the more fortunate traders of those towns which are already provided with di uriflaii;ly".'iLt7rto;ol f th r e a rli l a y bitants of di rect channels of transit, are thus seveiov crippled. The same remark applies in some degree to the market town of Wantage, which, as w( , claims a share of ' the profits and prod and uced I T;g r e athv i ay i traffic. It has therefore been determined to co mmence th e propose dil ne at Oxford, and to proceed through Abin g d on to the station of the Great Western Railway at Steventon, thus g i v i ng to AbingdAbingdona direct rail roadll advantages as iiunge rf orl to London. By continuing the projected railway to %Vantage, the same facility of transit te.Londen will be afforded to that place; and a perfect line of road from the n orth-eastern counties will, by a junc tion with the projection from Cambridge to Oxford, be produced, through the towns which have been named, Hungeriord and Lodgers hall to Salisbury, and thence to the south and western ports and dis tricts. A map of the line, and a statistical report of the whole conntry intended to be traversed, is in course of preparation, and with the names of an influential provisional Committee, will very shortly be published. In the meantime, further information may be ob tained from Messrs. Elmslie and Preston, 47, Moorgate-street, London, solicitors to the undertaking, to whom, at present, applica Bon for shares may be made. BUCKINGHAMSHIRE RAILWAY, AND OXFORD AND RETCHLEY JUNCTION.

The object of this undertaking is to supply railway communication to the towns and districts lying between the London and Birmingham and the Great Western Railways, giving them the best means of ac cess to the metropolis, stud connecting them also with Birmingham and the north-wet,t of England, with the e•3stern lines of railway. with Oxford and the south, and with Worcester and Wales. • The main line will communicate from the London and firming ham Railway, near Harrow, and, passing to the north of Uxbridge4 will proceed up the. Valley by CM .Inuit, near Amersham and Chesham , to Missenden and Wendover, and thence to Aylesbury, from which place it will extend to Buckingham, and, approaching Brackley, wil! terminate by a junction with the proposed Warwickshire and London Railway, near Banbury. In connexion with this part of the line, it is proposed to Improve the communication between Aylesbury an ' London by taking a direct line from Aylesbury to Tring. In addition to the line above described, it is intended also to con struct a railway from the station of the London and Birmingham. Railway, at Bletebley, through Bicester, to Oxfoi d. From Bletchles to Bedford a railway is in course of construction by the Bedford ank! London and Birmingham Company, and from Bedford communica tions eastward are proposed. The proposed Buckingham and London and Birmingham Railway Company is amalgamated with this Company. Accurate surveys of the country have been taken by Mr. Robert Stephenson, and it has been ascertained that no engineering difticu ty of importance presents itself. The undertaking has already received the sanction and support a very large proportion of the nobility, gentry, and proprietors land, through or near whose property it is intended to pass. It is proposed that these lines should be made wits the co-opera tion and under the direction and superintendence of the London and Birmingham Railway Company, under a lease in perpetuity, at four per cent. per annum on the outlay, with an equal division of the sur plus profits. It is intended to allot the shares to the holders of scrip in the London, Worcester, and South S'afforshire Railway Company in certain proportions, subject to the approbation of the Committe2 , Management, such shares as may be required for parties having locyl interest being excepted. further applications for Shares can be received. . _ _ _ Oct. 1, 1545 EXETER, DORCHESTER, AND WEY MOUTH JUNCTION COAST RAILWAY.

The distance front the town of Barnet to the station of the London and Birmingham Railway, at Euston-square, by this route, will be 13 miles. The length of the main line, from the point of junction at Totten ham to the London and Birmingham Railway, will be 11 miles ; and the length of the branch line to Barnet, will be 4 1 / 5. miles.

The line will proceed beyond the range of the Highgate and Hamp stead Hill:, and the branch from the main line to Barnet will follow the valley - of tjie river Brent to the intended station at Barnet ; thus the expense of , construction will be less than any other metropolitan line of railway, for the above reason, and because it will pats through an agricultural district, avoiding all ornamental property and large collections of houses and buildings. Upon the completion of this railway, a large and daily increasing population, resident beyond the limits of the metropolitan omnibuses, will be largely benefited, and land and agricultural produce, hitherto affording an inadequate return to their cultivators, will be quad rupled in value. ; fhe ancient, populous, and once-flourishing town of Barnet, too, will now have a railway communication of its own, without depend ing upon the caprice or uncertain goodnature of any company who may hold out a prospect of a branch, in future times, from some of the trunk lims-now contemplated. An ample return of profit to the investments of shareholders may be safely anticipated, and will arise from the following sources, amongst others :- 1. From the conveyance of passengers. 2. From the carriage of goods and - merchandise front the City and Docks, &c., to the several railways which are intersected by this line, avoiding the delay and excessive cost of conveyance through London ; also from th.a conveyance of cattle, &c., more particularly during the period of the large Barnet fairs _ 3d.

The principal objects of the scheme are —lst. To rasiedy the evils of delay and inconvenience to which parties are, at the present time, necessarily subjected in proceeding from the west end of the metro polis to Croydon, or the most distant places on the South-Eastern and London and Brighton Railways, as well as the several sea ports and packet-stations on the coasts of Kent and Sussex; and 2d. To supply to the numerous and wealthy Inhabitants of the district through which the intended line will pass (at present wholly with out railway accommodation), a greatly improved means for the in terchange of communicatioa with the metropolis, and with each other. Commencing at the intended terminus of the South-Western Rail way, at Hungerford or Waterloo-bridge, the line will take the most practicable route to Kennington, from thence it will follow as near as possible the old turnpike road, passing through or near to the wealthy and populous districts of Stockwell, Clapham, Brixton, Tulse•hill, Streatham, Norwood, Beulah, and Thornton-heath, effect ing a junction at Croydon with the several existing or projected lines from that place. It is also proposed to form a branch or branches from the neigh bourhood of Streatham to Mitcham and Tooting, and thus to extend to those places, and their respective neighbourhoods, the advantages of a direct railway communication with the metropolis. A great portion of the traffic in passengers and goods upon the Brighton and Dover lines is supplied from the west-end of London and the Birmingham and Great Western Railways. The necessity of proceeding to the station at London-bridge, and by the present circuitous route to Croydon, is a serious and unnecessary inconveni ence, entailing additional expense and delay. The removal of this long-felt grievance is a leading object with the promoters of the pre ' sent undertaking. They deem it right, however, to observe, in lay ing this scheme before the public, that they have no desire to inter fere with existing railway interests, further than is absolutely indis pensable, but that on the other hand it will be their object to yield assistance to, and in return endeavour to secure it, from each com pany with which this line may ultimately be connected. A glance at the map will show, that as a branch or arm of the London and Brighton Railway, this undertaking completes a stra'ght line of comm•mication from the west end of London to Croydon, Raigate, and Brighton, and renders the ports of Dover and Folke stone, as well as the several places on the South-Eastern line, more easily accessible from that part of the metropolis. The great amount of traffic at the present time upon the roads be tween Croydon, Mitcham, Tootiag. &c., and London. proves at once that the existing railway facilities do not at all meet the exigencies of the mass of population to whom this line will be available. The population who reside upon or in the immediate neighbour hood of the proposed line, independent of the metropolis, anti between the intended termini, exceeds 100,000, whose wants are almost wholly supplied from the London markets, 8.7. c., and who have, at the present time, no mode of conveyance but upon the turnpike road. In the transit of buildbig materials, corn, coal, lime, and other heavy goods, from the warehouses and wharfs on the banks of the Thames, and for marketable produce in each direction, this line must become to them particularly useful and convenient. Some idea may be formed of the local necessity of this railway when it is known that the number ofpassengers who avail themselves of the accommodation afforded by the several omnibuses and other public vehicles, running upon the turnpike-road, have been ascer tained to exceed 2,600 daily. An equal number (at least) proceed by private and other conveyances. Of foot passengers, although no accurate estimate can be formed of them, it is considered that they at least number four times that of passengers who travel by con veyance. The tonnage of goods it is calculated will be In full pro portion to the receipt from passengers. Experience has fully proved, that en however liberal a scale the probability of future traffic in the transit of goods and passengers has been judged, almost every line of railway has, upon its completion, vastly exceeded the calculated amount. There are, however, In this instance, reasons for supposing that the extended facilities of com munication will cause more than an ordinary increase in the con veyance of passengers. The country which the line of railway will open is singularly picturesque and beautiful, and in addition to the admired districts of Brixton and Streatham, the long-Ilivoured and much-frequented Beulah and Norwood IN hl be placed within easy access, and become more than ever, objects of interest and delight to the visitor and resident of the metropolis. There can therefore be little doubt but that the present line must become a profitable and eligible scheme for the investment of capital. The promoters of this undertaking have pleasure in announcing that it is approved of, an I will be generally supported by local in fluence. They have caused a partial survey to be made, which will be completed shortly, and they have the assurance of their engineers that there are not more than ordinary difficulties to contend with. The liability of the shareholders will be restricted, by Act of Parlia ment, to the amount of their subscriptions; and power will be appled for in the Bill to allow interest at 4/. per cent. per annum on all calls from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line.

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 Railway Company, by which thoir 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 thi, line will join at Al costar, and by means of which the Eastern Countios traffic will pro ceed to Worcester.

SOLICITORS. Mr. William Barker, } New-street, Huddersfield. Messrs. Brook and Freeman, The object of this undertaking is to form a continuous line of rail way from Leeds to Liverpool, by extending the lines already made, or sanction e 4 by Parliament, from their respective termini at Hud dersfield, in Yorkshire, and Bury, in Lancashire, through• the inter vening country between Huddersfield and Bury, for which extension a line of railway only 25 miles in length is requisite. The proposed line will commence at the Huddersfield station, between which place and Leeds Parliament has already sanctioned the •ormation of rail ways, and from Huddersfield the proposed line will proceed by way of Hillhouse, Birchencliffe, and Lindley, and thence along the valley between Stainland and Greetland, through Bei lesland, the Vale of Ripponden, and by Rochdale to Bury, in Lancashire, where it will join the terminus of ti,e Liverpool and Bury line of railway. In addition to completing a direct communication from Liverpool to Leeds, Hull, and Goole by the fhortestpracticableroute, and by a much smaller outlay of capital than by any other proposed line, it will provide for a large and important manufacturing population, hitherto without the advantage of railway accommodation, an outlet to the south by means of the Huddersfield and Sheffield Junction Railway, and to Manchester and North awl South Lancashire by the railways above mentioned, and by the Leeds and Manchester Railway, by a proposed junction therewith at Rochdale. This line when completed will, in addition to the advantages which it presents as a through line, pass through a succession of valleys thicldy studded with mills and manufactories, consuming a large quantity of raw materials and coal, all of which are brought from a distance, and transmitting to other districts the produce of their in dustry, for which purposes a line of railway has become absolutely necessary, and there. can be no doubt that an ample return will be realised for the outlay of capital required. The distance between lindderslield and Rochdale by the present line of railway is thirty miles, which by the proposed railway will he reduced to seventeen miles. The Provisional Committee reserveto themselves the right of en tering Into any arrangements with existing railway companies that may appear desirable. And power will be taken by the Act of Par liament to allow interest to the shareholders at the rate of 4/. per cent. per annum on the amounts paid on their shares from the respective times of payment to the times of opening the railway. Applications for shares may be addressed, in the subjoined form, to any of the undermentioned Sharebrokers, viz.—Messrs.
