FLINT, Secretary. Dated this 21st day of October, 1845. THE DIRECT LONDON and EXETER RAILWAY (with EXTENSION to FALMOUTH and PENZANCE). 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 aud respecta bility, the Committee have been obliged to give a preference to ap plicants locally interested, or likely to bring to bear for the Company a large share of legitimate influence. The numerous persons, with undoubted claims on the score of wealth and social standing, whose applications have either been passed over or cut down, are requested to accept this reason as the Committee's apology. The Committee desire 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 Share ß holders.

Commencing at Cambridge, which has now become the traffic centre of the Eastern Counties, by the line of railway intended is be formed by that Company, this line will proceed to Bedford, there passing near Olney it will cross at or r ear the Blisworth Station of the London and Birminglfitm Railway, where it will communicate with the Northampton and Peterborough line; it will then proceed west ward, crossing the Oxford and Rugby line at or near Fenny-Compton to Stratford-on-Avon, there joining the proposed line from Warwick and Leamington to Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the West of England ; continuing its course through Alcester, the line will go di rect to w•rcester, and thus terminate at the great centre of traffic for the mineral and marinfaetanng diAtriets of South Staffordshire, Shropshire, and North and South Wales. This proreued line d Jes 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 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, •r to vary the line.

This railway is proposed to commence at Uxbridge, proceeding thence to the Southall station of the Great Western Railway, and then through Heston to Hounslow, there meeting one of the proposed. lines to Hounslow from London. Leaving Hounslow th e line pro ceeds through Whitton, Twickenham, Teddington, and Hampton, to Kingston, and, crossing the Thames, joins the Kingston station of the South-Western Railway, whence it will proceed to, aad terminate at ,Epsom The towns and places through which the line passes, or most imme diately affects, contain an aggregate population of abont 200,000 persons. The importance of connecting two such towns as Uxbridge and Brentford with Kingston, Croydon, and Epsom, three of the largest market-towns in Surrey, between ;which the present agricultural traffic is extensive, is too obvious to require comment. A glance at the map will at once show that the communication now proposed is not only judicious, but, in order to satisf y the re q uirements of the important and populous district involved, is actually imperative. It will afford to Uxbridge and the towns in Hertfordshire north of it, with which it will be connected by proposed new lines, direct transit to the Great Western, Southampton, and Portsmouth Railways, and by the established lines, southward, to Shoreham, Brighton, Dover, Ramsgate, and all the south and south-eastern parts of the kingdom, avoiding the loss of tune and great inconvenience of going round by the metropolis. So also as to Brentford, Hounslow, King ston, and Epsom—it will afford to them access to the Great Western, London and Birmingham, and Northern and Eastern lines ; and by this line, in connexion with one proposed to Hounslow from the me tropolis, and the other proposed and established lines north and south of it, easy access will be afforded to Hampton-court, Epsom, and other favourite places of resort. There can be no doubt, therefore, that the passenger traffic alone will be sufficient to pay a very large dividend on the outlay. This undertaking presents the additiona and important advantage of competing with no line at present established ; on the contrary, it will be the means of connecting and feeding the several lines enu merated, and several others that are projected; and the engineer reports that it passes over a particularly easy country, and will be capable of construction at about IG,OOO/. per mile ; and the land owners on the line who have been seen, are favourable to the un dertaking. The length of the line will be about 18 miles. And the Committee are happy to announce that the surveys are in such a forward con dition as to justify them in stating that they will be enabled to comply, in all respects, with the standing orders, so as to enable them to si4sply for the Act in the ensuing session. Application for shares must be made in the usual form, to the solicitors of the Company, Messrs. Watts, Galsworthy, and Gals worthy, to the Secretary, at the Offices, to whom also all com• munications from parties locally interested should be addressed; also to the following local solicitors, Henry Norton, Esq., Uxbridge ; C.

The thanks of the meeting were unanimously voted to the Chairman. The entire line has now been finally set out by the acting engi neer, under the direction of the engineer-in -chief, Sir John Rennie, and the distance from the Cricket-ground Station, in Bury St. Edmund's, to the junction of the Eastern and North Eastern lines at Stratford, ascertained to be fifty-eight miles, making the whole dis tance from Bury to the Shoreditch Station sixty-two miles, being servnteoi nines leAllisuihy the projected Chesterford, and twenty four miles-tars than by - Thetford, Newinarliet,and Cambridge lines. The distance from Norwich to London, by this line, will be re duced to the same extent, which, consequently, will be 104 miles. instead of 125 by Ely.

The whole of the traffic (whether of passengers or goods) from the north to the south of England now passes through the streets of London. No railway has yet been projected to avoid this course, so obviously inconvenient to the passenger, and so enormously expen sive to the carrier. _ _ . . The Tring and Reigate Railway will afford accommodation to the manufacturing districts of Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, and Birming ham, and place them in direct communication with the southern ports (from Dover to Southampton) and France, at a saving of ten miles, of which four consist of the streets of London, and effectually connect the several stations of the Dover, Brighton, South-Western, Great Western, and Birmingham Railways, without causing the ruinous expense attendant upon all schemes for joining their present termini in London The importance of a direct communication between the coal [fields and manufacturing districts of Birmingham, the midland counties, and the north with the southern coast, extending, at the least, from Dover to Southampton, need not be dwelt upon. A new line of no less than 137% miles has just been projected to connect Birmingham and Brighton alone. The Tring and Reigate will be forty-four miles. The course of this line is as follows :—Leaving the London and Bir mingham Railway at 'Pflug, it will pass through Chesham, Amersham, Beaconsfield, to Slough, on the Great Western Railway ; through Upton, Datchet, Egham, Staines, and Chertsey, it will reach the South-Western Railway at Weybridge ; thence through Cobham and Leatherhead, it will pass near Dorking to the Reigate station of the Dover and Brighton Railways; thus intersecting four trunk rail ways at first class stations. The intermediate traffic may be stated as follows :—From Wen dover to Slough it will command the traffic to Dondon and the West of England by its junction with the Great Western Railway ; it will afford to Windsor a direct communication to the Isle of Wight by way of the gouth-Western ; to Brighton and Dover by way of Rei gate ; and to all the railways of the north by way of Tring ; and it will pass, as before stated, through the populous districts of Egham, Staines, Chertsey, Cobham, and Dorking, to the Reigate station by way of Epsom. It may be fairly stated that this railway, far from injuring any existing line, will greatly benefit every one that it touches, and that opening, as it will do, a direct communication to the northern and midland counties with Brighton, and affording to Windsor the com mand of all the railways in the kingdom, must be successful. To persons conversant with railway affairs, a glance at any railway map will convey more convincing information as to its merits than the most elaborate prospectus. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the Company shall be under the control of the Committee of Manage ment, who are empowered to enter into such arrangements as shall best serve the interests of the Company, and to raise any additional capital that may become requisite for extensions of the line, or otherwise. Power shall be taken under the Act to limit the responsibility of shareholders to the amount of their subscription, and to allow interest at 4 per cent. upon the calls. The engineers are now engaged in surveying the line, and the whole will be completed in time for the ensuing session. A preference will be given in the allotment of shares to the landowners and to the shareholders in the several railways interested in its formation. ENGINEER'S REPORT. The Managing Committee have great pleasure in submitting the following report, received from their engineer. This affords satisfac tory assurance that the line will be certainly ready for the coming session. To the Provisional Committee of the Tring and Reigate Railway. Gentlemen,—l have the honour :to report to you that I have mi nutely:examined the country lying between Tring and Reigate for the proposed " Tring and Reigate Railway." The ground from the Reigate station on the South-Eastern Rail way, via Reigate to Leatherhead, is the only difficult portion of the line ; some tunnelling and cutting being required, after which, by Cobham, Chertsey, Staines, Datchet, Upton, Slough, Farnham Royal, Beaconsfield, Amersham, and Chesham, to or near the Tring station, the country is of a nature most favourable for the construction of a railway. I consider the route here pointed out for the " Tring and Reigate Railway," not only a most excellent one as referring to the con struction of the line, but pre-eminently good in respect of the pro spect of its paying ; for in addition to its affording a direct means of communication from the north and midlands' districts to Brighton and Dover, it will at the same time become a series of connecting links with the main trunks of the country. I have the satisfaction to inform the Committee that I have made such arrangements as will enable me to guarantee their going to Parliament with the " Tring and Reigate " Bill in the ensuing session, I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient Servant, JAMES A. EMSLIE, C.E. 6, Buckingham-street, Strand, Oct. 8, 1845. Since the date of this report, the Committee have received an assurance from their engineer that the surreys will be completed by the first week in November. Prospectuses and plans may be had of the Secretary ; at the Com pany's offices, 4, Frederick's-place, Old Jewry ;of the Solicitors ; and of the following Brokers:—Messrs.

The applications already received greatly exceed the number for allotment, and the list will be shortly closed. No applications will receive any attention unless accompanied h y a reference to some person of well known respectability. All such references will be strictly investigated. To the Provisional Committee of the Tring and Reigate Railway. Gentlemen,—l request you will allot to me shares of 25/. each in the above-named Company, and I hereby agree to take all such shares, or so many as may be allotted to me, and to pay the deposit thereon, and to execute the necessary deeds when required.

Deposit, 2/. 12s. 6d. per Share. This railway will , pass from the city of Exeter, through the rich valley of the Exe, via Sliverton and Bickleigh, direct to Tiverton, 'one of the chief towns of this important district, and formerly the principal market and manufacturing town of the west of England. It will administer largely to the prosperity of this rich and productive country, and will pass from Tiverton, by Blimp ton, Dulverton, and Dunster, to the port of Minehead in the Bristol Channel, opposite Landaff, Swansea, and Cardiff, from whence the produce of the rich mines and quarries of Merthyr Tydvil, Ponty pool, and Newport, in Wales, can be transferred by the shortest route to the English markets. From Minehea.l it will pass by Porlock and Combe-Marten to the much-frequented watering-place of Ilfracombe, where it unites with the Barnstaple and Ilfracombe Railway. At Minehead it will also join the Bridgewater and Mine head Railway, to which it will serve as an important feeder, connect ing the towns on the north coast of Devon directly with the great western trunk railroads passing from London to the Land's End. It will also form a very short and direct junction of the Bristol and English Channels. A mole valuable and important line: a the country which it will traverse could not be projected.

SECRETARY —Harry Burrard Yarnell, Esq. The Provisional Committee of the North London Junction Rail way Company have great satisfaction in informing their subscribers that negotiations are now pending between the Provisional Commit tee of this Company and the Directors of the Railways north of the Thames of such a character as to assure them that the City terminus of this Company will form the Grand Terminus of all the City traffic north of London. To effect this important object, an area of 10 acres of ground (the southern boundary of which is within 500 yards of the Bank of England) has been most carefully surveyed and valued, and the re vert of the architect and engineer is of so favourable a character as to have induced the rrovigonal Committee to determine on purchasing the entire site, and it has, therefore, been resolved b., them to in crease the capital of this Company to 1,300,0001. The Provisional Committee consider it of paramount importance to secure within the limits of their City terminus, the amplest and most complete accommodation for the traffic of each of the railway comanies who may co-operate with them, an object which will be effected by opening the very extensive and valuable space of ground alluded to, within the centre of the City of London. In conjunction with this enlarged plan, it is intended to embrace that of a branch line to the present station of the Eastern Counties Railway in Shoreditch, which will effect au entire junction between the eastern and western parts of the metropolis ; and at the same time afford a direct communication between the whole of the rail ways, which reach London tothe north of the Thames, and give full development to each of their schemes by creating for them a common centre within the heart of the metropolis. Independently, therefore, of the almost incalculable local traffic which the position of their City terminus will ensure to this Com pany, will be added that of those companies also who will eventually co-opera'e with the North London Junction Railway Company, and the perfection of a project of no ordinary magnitude and importance will be realised throughout the whole of this short bat very valuable line of railway. A lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the entire district through which this Company proposes to run this line; by this means the most casual observer will be enabled to ascertain that the environs of London, north of the Thames, will be placed in immediate communication with the City ; while the dense popu lation of the City will enjoy a faci' ity of connexion with its suburban localities, necessarily affording it the :greatest accommodation. With such important local resources, therefore, together with the vast traffic on which the shareholders of this Company have a right to rely for profit, a large amount of revenue may be fairly and justly anticipated, fully commensurate with the o utla y of the proposed capital. That revenue will be derived thus : The daily passenger traffic on the Great Western amounts to 3,345, one-half of which reaches the City.

Simpson, Esq. - ------- ENGINEER. ACTING ENGINEER—Richard C. Carpenter, Esq. SECRETARY—E. Jones, Esq. The port of Boston affords the readiest outlet for exports from the manufacturing districts to the north of Europe, and the importance of direct communication from the midland counties to a place so ad vantageously situate cannot be over-estimated. Leicester has, or shortly will have, direct communication with Birmingham, and all the other important towns in the midland district. The Midland Railway Company is extending the communication to Melton Mowbray, by means of its branch from Syston to Peter borough, which passes through that place. There is also a complete line of railway about to be established from Nottingham, through Grantham and Folkingham, to Boston, as well as to Spalding, Wis beach, Lynn, Yarmouth, and other important towns in the eastern counties. The Leicester, Melton Mowbray, and Boston Direct Union nail ' way, by forming a line from Melton Mowbray to Folkingham, will supply the only link wanting to complete a direct through communi cation from Birmingham, Warwick, Worces'er, Coventry, and the manufacturing districts generally, to Boston, as well as by means of existing and projected railways from Wales and the Bristol Channel, to that seaport. The length of the proposed line will not exceed twenty-six miles ; and as it will pass through a country very favourable for engineer ing purposes, the expense of construction will, it is expected, be less than the usual average. The admirable position of this railway can not fail, it is confidently expected, to command a large return, both in passengers and in goods traffic. The Company will be in a situation to deposit the Parliamentary plans and sections in ample time for complying with the standing orders, and enabling them to apply for their Act in the ensuing session.

The intention of this Company is, in the first instance, to cm: street a line of railway from Calcutta to Diamond Harbour, with ware houses and bffildings there, and docks, as soon as deemed desirable ; an 4 to continue the railway to George's Point at a future period. The length of the main line is about twenty-four miles, aad the branch about ten nilles. The project of making a harbour and railway, to escape the dam geront and tedious navigation to and from Calcutta, is neither new nor uncalled for. The attenttoe er many eminent authorities has been directed to it, who have severally ,pronounced it necessary, Practicable, and likely to be most profitable. And Lord Anc , Jand. while Governor General of India, was so satisfied of the expea or rather, the necessity of such an undertaking, as to promise a grcui t of the land necessary for the works, and to give the sanction of his name and authority. Great as are the present difficulties and dangers of the existing na vigation, there is no security that at some period or other the channel may not be totally obstructed and rendered linpassahle for vessels of any considerahle burden, by reason of the shifting and accumulation of sands from powerful inundations and freshes elegiacs or aided by the south-west monsoons. This statement is borne out by eminent marine surveyors, among whom the name of Captain Horshurgb stands distinguished ; with C. B. Greenlaw, Esq., formerly Secretary to the Marine Board, and Captain Lloyd, Marine Surveyor-General. Recent overland dispatches from India declare that the Govern ment, the European, and the great native merchants, are most anxious that railways should be established in India. The railway now proposed ought to be the first to be so established, iu tsmuch as it has already been surveyed and reported upon by Major Boileau, and several officers of the Bengal Engineers; that it is very short compared with other projected lines, as being almost necessary to any railway that may be constructed in the Presidency of Bengal; and as the whole of the most valuable imports and ex ports of tnis portion of British India must pass along the line, both for shipment and internal consumption. The country through which the railway will pass is entirely a dead level ; and the soil for the mast part consists of a hard stiff clay, very excellent for the ma nufacture of bricks, and the construction of docks. It is estimated that (according to " Wilkinson's Oriental Com merce") at the least 3,500 British and foreign vessels will enter the harbour at different periods of the year ; that the passenger traffic, wills the carriage of goods, harbour dotes, &c., will average 273,000/. a year; and, in addition, both the shipowner and merchant will de rive considerable pecuniary advantages. It may be well to enumerate a few of the many important advan tages the formation of this railway will afford to merchants, ship owners, and commanders of Indiamen. At present the pilotage for a vessel from the Sand-heads to Calcutta (taking the average draft of water of each ship at eighteen feet) is about 501., including, lead-money, row-boats, &c. ; by shorteninC the distance, the pilotage will be reduced in proportion. The fact that ships, daring a period of seven months of the year, viz., from the beginning of April to the end of October, not being able to lie at their own anchors on account of the violence of the freshes and the south-west monsoons, are obliged, in consequence or their insurance, to lie at the Honourable East India Company's moor ing buoys, at an expense varying from thirty shillings to two pounds per day, and that each ship on the average lies four months at the moorings at the rate of 321. per mens., a saving will be en'ected of 1251. on each vessel. A vessel, under existing circumstances, takes at the least two months in discharging and taking in her cargo, whereas the same work will be accomplished with the greatest facility' in one month, or even less, by the carrying ou t of the railway and proposed under taking, saving the great we ar and tear (no inconsiderable item), in. Rummer, interest, provisions, and seamen's pay, for an entire month at the least. During the prevalence of the freshes and south-west monsoons, vessels have lost, it is well known, from one to four anchors each, with part of their cables, See.; and in a country where marine stores are enormously high, the replacing of such necessary and valuable articles amounts to a very considerable sum ; by the fonnatic•n Or the pro p o sed railway and docks this item of loss will be avoided. - Desertion by the seamen will be averted, which has increased to an almost incredible extent of late years, owing to time demand for European sailors for the country trade, and the high wages offered. them. The safety of the vessels will he secured, 'and the constant loss from the freshes, and plunder by the native crews of the namable cargoes of the sloops, bhurs, and other river craft, from which vessels are loaded, will be averted ultimately ; a saving which cannot be too highly appreciated by shipowners and merchants. By ships lying at Diamond harbour, the extra expense of steam tugs will be avoided, averaging for the passage, to Calcutta and back, three days' hire at the present reduced rate of 30/. per day; and all ship passengers will be saved a long and tedious river jour ney, both ways, with the advantage of being enabled to loin their respective vessels at the latest moment. The promoters have memorialised the Cotut of Directors of the East India Company on the subject of this undertaking, and have received a satisfactory reply from the Secretary, J. C. Mell Esq. It must be borne in mind that this line does not stand in the earn. position (with regard to the necessity for a report of the engineer sent out by the, East India Company to investigate the subject), as lines of railway in the interior of India of great extent, and in. volving the outlay of large sums of money, through tracts of country at times impassable. It is an essentially commercial enterprise—. short, easy of execution, and, above all, providing a remedy for the difficult and dangerous navigation of the Hoogly, about which there cannot be two opinions. The Company will be managed by a Board of Directors in London, assisted by a Board of Direction in Calcutta.; and arrangements wilt be immediately made to send out competent persons to promote the interests of the Company. It is estimated that not more than one-half of the proposed capital will be required until it is determined to construct the proposed docks ; anti calls will be made from time to time as the work progresses. The dividends will be paid in Loudon and Calcutta, at the current rate of exchange. A subscription contract will be prepared, to be execute:l by the shareholders, and application will be made for a charter or theory.. ration, or Act of Parliament. .Applications for shares, in the annexed form, to be made to the Provisional Committee, at the offices ef the Company, 147, Fenehttreh street,London, or to the undermentioned sharebrokers and e.gents : Messrs.
