This Company is formed Mr the purpose of establishing direct rail way communication betwessa the important ports of Hull, Great Grimsby, and Southampton. It is intended to effect this desirable object by the construction of a line of railway, commencing at Lincoln, passing Grantham, Oak ham, Uppingliam, near to Rockingham and Rothwell, and joining the South Midland Railway between Market Itarborough and North ampton; thus forming in connexion with projected lines of railway , from Hull and Grimsby to Lincoln, and from Northampton to South ampton, the connecting link, in one uninterrupted chain of railway communication, from Hull and Grimsby to Southampton, Gosport, and Poole, and the whole of the south-western coast of England. It will also fonn the most direct route from Hull, Great Grimsby, mad the whole of Liheoinshire, Rutlandshire, Northamptonshire, and part of Leicestershire, to Oxford, Banbury, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, Exeter, and the south and west of England. An inspection of the map will at once show the importance of this undertaking, whether considered in a local or national point of view, forming as it will an intimate connexion between London and the south generally, with the fertile districts of Lincolnshire and the adjacent counties, at present without railway accommodation; whilst its value to the South Midland, the Northampton, Banbury, anti Cheltenham, the London and Birmingham Railway Companies, and the projected lines south of Northampton (to which it will form a most profitable adjunct), must be obvious.

PROSPECTUS OF THE The objects intended to be accomplished by this undertaking are 1. The formation of a direct line of railway between Hull and fae metropolis. 2. The supply of local railway accommodation to the importan districts embraced by the line. 3. The benefit of railway communication with the metropolit ex tended to a district of country, west of Grantham, upwards of 5u miles in length at present unprovided with that accommodation. 4. The completion of the chain of railway communication between Bristol, Gloucester, the river Severn, and the southern and western counties, and the north-eastern districts of the kingdom and the river Humber, and its ports, including that of Hull. 5. The connecting of the two important ports of Hull and South ampton by one continuous chain of railways. Commencing at the town of Northampton, in conjunction with the London and Birmingham, the Northampton, Banbury, and Chelten ham, and the other lines of railway proposed to converge at that town from the west, from Worcester and from Warwick, the line will proceed in a direct course to the market town of Kettering, by which place all the companies competing for the line of railway between London and Manchester propose to pass. It will then pro ceed, also, in a direct course by the market towns of lipplugham, Oakhfun, and Grantham, to Lincoln. The country lying between the towns of Northampton and Gran tham is wholly without existing or even proposed railway accommo dation, not only to the south, but also to the north. _ From Lincoln the line will proceed byithe shortest and best praci cable course to Hull. The sources of traffic which this line will secure are various and very considerable ; some of them only can be here enumerated. They are, — Starting from hull the line will appropriate to itself the whole of the traffic thence to the Metropolis, Bristol, Southampton, Glouces ter, Oxford, Cheltenham, and the whole of the Southern n and Western districts of the kingdom, and, in addition, it will secure the very im - portant and Increasing local traffic between Hull and Lincoln and the Intermediate towns. In the event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not obtaining their Act of Parliament, then the traffic from the before mentioned places and Lincoln to the south and west, also to the me tropolis, will pass along this line of railway ; the former the whole distance, and the latter in any event to Grantham, a distance of about twenty-five miles ; and should the London and York Company not succeed, such traffic will proceed further toKettering or Northampton. The entire district between Grantham and Kettering, a distance of more than forty miles, and including the market towns of Oakham and Uppingham, is without railway or water-carriage accommoda tion, and the whole of its traffic therefore will travel over this line of railway, which will be in the direct course not only to the west but also to London. at Kettering this line will unite with that cue of the now com peting schemes passing that town from Manchester and Leicester to London which shall be successful before Parliament. From the singularly important advantages which this undertaking presents to the capitalist, as well as to the public at large, the Pro visional Directors do not think it necessary, with reference ;to the supposed traffic or otherwise, to say more than that they fully be lieve that the return will be, upon the capital required, highly re munerative. The country is free from engineering difficulties, with one or two exceptions only, and those are more than counterbalanced by the very favourable gradients of by far the greater portion of the line ; indeed, for many miles the line win run upon a water level. The Hue will not interfere with any ornamental property. The promoters have made every necessary arrangement for the active prosecution of the undertaking, and for applying to Parlia ment In the ensuing session. No call will be made, with the exception of the deposit, till the Act is obtained, and power will be applied for in the Act of Parliament, to allow interest at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum on all calls from the date of their payment, and to limit the liability of each share holder to the amount of his subscription. The landowners on the line are favourable to the undertaking. The promoters reserve power to alter and vary the route, to ex tend the proposed line of railway to Great srimsby or elsewhere, and to increase the amount of capital, as may be necessary or ad visable. Prospectuses and Plans may be obtained on application to any of the several Solicitors or Local Agents, the Secretary, or to the fol lowing Brokers, viz. : —Messrs.

The most direct and speedy communication between the English and Irish capitals has been declared, by influential members of the present and former Governments, to be a great desideratum ; and possessing, in addition to this valuable authority, the support and sanction of many, or nearly all, the principal noblemen, gentlemen, and landholders in North Wales, this Company is established for the pnrpose of ultimately forming a line of railway which will effect this long-desired object. The importance, nay, the necessity, of such a line has long been felt by the public at large ; it must, therefore, be looked at not as merely a private speculation, but also as a great national undertak ing, opening, as it will, facilities for the most expeditious transit be tween the two capitals, and at the same time offering a most direct communication with the south of Ireland, via Wicklow, thereby conferring an immense benefit on both kingdoms. The proposed line will commence at Shrewsbury, by a junction with the Birmingham and Shrewsbury Railway, and proceed thence as nearly as possible in a straight direction to Port Dynllaen, pass ing through, or by, Bala, and the other principal towns on the route, being a distance of about eighty-four miles. A very important fea ture in this line is, that the expense and difficulty of passing the Menai Straits are avoided, and all impediment to navigation pre vented. It is estimated that the cost of the entire line will not exceed 2,000,0001., but in consequence of the impossibility, from the nature of the country, and the lateness of the period, of completing the whole of the surveys in due time, it has been determined to apply to Parliament in the ensuing session, for the first section of the line lying between Port Dynllaen and Port Madoc, being a distance of considered as oppo s i ng about 24 miles; the surveys for which are nearly completed. transit, which accounts for without the advantages of Hitherto the mountainous nature of some of the districts through hies are surmoun t e d b y g e t o i been continued st imoesnoettgenerallyiinvduei ffie d euw atwhrailway.whe ich obstacles i t n h c e t i 1 0 3 4 too n Hi f e t o ay r nn having s g e o ,s s v f o , for has leo rl , no ily, the application of the atmospheric system, which it Is therefore pro posed to adopt. The considerations for employing the atmospheric principle are founded not only on the strong opinion in its favour expressed in the report of the Select Committee appointed by Parliament to examine into its merits, but also on its peculiar suitableness to several of the gradients to be encountered on the line, its superior speed, safety, and economy, and its absence from the possibility of the occurrence of those frightful accidents by collision which have so frequently happened of late, and to which locomotive engines must ever be liable. The distance between Porth Dynllaen and Kingstown is only about six and a half miles farther than between Kingstown and Holyhead ; but in consequence of the position of the latter place, being two or three points to leeward of the acknowledged prevailing gales of St. George's Channel, a shorter passage can be made on an average throughout the year from Porth Dynllaen. This is con firmed by Captain Beaufort, as referred to in the masterly report of Sir John Rennie on the subject ; in which, after going into details (coinciding in every material point wills the opinions cf Mr. Page and others), Sir John thus concludes with a general summary of the case In reference to Porth Dynllaen :—" That it Is two points farther to windward than Holyhead, and, to use the expressive words of Captain Beaufort, has a fair wind both ways, to and from Kings town.' This is particularly important, because it enables the pas sage to be made in equal, if not less time than from Holyhead, although the distance is rather greater ; and It is not less important to maintain the communication between the two countries during the winter season with as much speed and as little interruption as possible." Taking this project in a remunerative point of view, we have to bear in mind not only the great amount of traffic 'which it is certain to command, when the entire line is completed, and the journey be ween the two capitals can be accomplished in twelve hours (thus ensuring much of the Irish, American, and West Indian trade), but also with other railways now in progress ; the vast mercantile traffic it must bring, from its opening the most convenient ()Mkt for the wealthy mineral and agricultural productions of the counties of Caernarvon, Merioneth, Montgomery, and Denbigh. The extensive and apparently inexhaustible quarries of Caernar von, Bangor, Ffestiniog-, &c., will supply all the Midland Counties of England with slate, &c., at a much less cost than at present ; and the carriage of the important articles of lime, coal, and colo nial produce to Wales, will also form an important source of revenue. Another very hnpertant consideration presents itself in the cer tainty of this line being adopted for the transmission of the mails, affording, as it assuredly will, ample facility for the dispatch of let ters frem either metropolis, and the return of answers within twenty-six hours. In fact, such are the advanat:es which must ac crue from this undertaking, that every expectation may be enter tained of its receiving the most cordial approbation of the Legisla ture, who, during the session just closed, have shown their anxiety to bring the postal communication in this direction. Lower will be applied for in the Act—and in the meantime is given to the Committee of Management—to increase the capital, if necessary, to alter or abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, to enter into arrangements with any ether company or com panies, and generally to manage the affairs of the Company. In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to landholders and others loeally interested. The subscribers will be held liable only for the amount of their first deposit, until an Act of Parliament be obtaine I, and afterwards only to the amount of their subscrip tions ; and power will he applied for in the Bill to allow interest at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum, on all calls, from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line.

By this Company it is proposed to supply railway accommoda tion, through an independ.nt channel, to all the principal towns in Buckinghamshire ' and to many in the other counties through which the projected line is to Tun, hitherto destitute of this now indispen sable mode of transit. The project known by the name of " The Buckinghamshire Rail way and Oxford and Wolverton Junction" is announced in their pro spectus as being under the direction and superintendence of the Lon don and Birmingham Railway Company, as their lessees in perpetuity, receiving four per cent. on the outlay, with a conditional arrange ment as to the surplus profit. From this agreement it must be obvious to every one that the monopoly of the London and Birmingham Company, which it was a principal object to destroy, is more strongly secured than before, and the profits which would accrue to an independent line, after payment of the 4/. per cent. interest, is virtually thrown into their hands. In addition to this, the arrangement to make use of the termini of the London and Birmingham Company, together with a considerable portion of their line, reduces the Buckinghamshire Railway in fact to a mere extension of the older cc mpam , and confers on the latter the means of absolutely and entirely controlling the traffic, and conse quently the profits, of the projected line ; so that the reservation as to the surplus profits in truth amounts to nothing. The adoption of the projected Buckinghamshire Railway by the London and Birmingham Company proves their consciousness of the necessity of a railway communication through the country proposed to be traversed; and to prevent a continuance of titer monopoly, and to secure both to shareholders and to parties locally interested - the benefits of an independent line, the present Company has been formed, and has met with the strenuous support of many landed pro prietors in the counties through which it will pass, who have hitherto withheld their co-operation from the Buckinghamshire Railway Company for the reasons enumerated. The line will proceed through or near to Uxbridge, by the Valley of Chalfont, to Amersham and Wendover, and thence to Aylesbury, by Winslow, to Buckingham. It will take a course from thence through Brockley and Banbury, by Leamington and Warwick, to Birmingham, having the advantage of being the shortest route hitherto proposed between Birmingham and London.

It is proposed by this Company to establish a direct line of commu nication between Birmingham, Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hull, at the smallest outlay of capital, and with the least possible injury to existing interests. To effect this object, use will be made of existing or projected lines, as far as practicable, and the chain of communica tion will be completed by throwing out new lines, where requisite. Commencing at Birmingham, it is proposed to use the Birmingham and Derby Railway as far as Whitacre, whence a new line, about 29 miles in length, will be made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Castle Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid land Counties Railway The communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will be carried forward as far as Gainsborough, either by the :proposed Not tingham and Gainsborough Railway, or by a line sprint lug out of the line from Nottingham to Lincoln, for which an Act wan obtained by the Midland Counties Company during the last session. of Parliament. From Galiaborbfigt{ this railway will proceed to Bdrton-on-the- Humber, or New Holland, in the immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby rendering complete and entire the chain of communication between Birmingham and Hull. By this project the advantages will result to the public of a Direct line from Birmingham to Nottingham, Birmingham to Gainsborough, and tcom Birmingham to Hull; and by means of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Railway, and the intended extension to Ashby-de-la-Zouch and. Airewas, a direct line from Wolverhampton and Dudley to Nottingham, and the other towns already enumerated. The support of several companies will be enlisted in favour of the lice, which, together with its own merits, will ensure its success in Parliament. As a considerable portion of the line of communication is already made, or in progress, the time required for the completion of this great national undertaking will be materially shortened. Independently of the advantages to be derived by a direct commu nication between the important seaport of Hull and the mining and manufacturing districts of Warwickshire and Staffordshire, a large traffic in timber, corn, metals, &c., may be confidently expected. The revenue of the Company, In addition, will be derived from the great thorough traffic from Birmingham and the midland counties to Nottingham and Gainsborough, and the immense traffic from Bir mingham to Hull, the'port at which the exports are shipped to Ham burgh, the German States, and the North of Europe ; and from the conveyance of merchandise, agricultural produce, and cattle from the southern, western, and midland counties. A preference will be given in the allotment of shares to landowners on the line, and other local proprietors, as well as to directors and shareholders in railways interested in supporting this undertaking. No subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of the deposit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. The usual power will be taken to allow interest at the rate of four per cent. from the time of payment upon each call until the opening of the line. No applications will be attended to without a reference to a member ofthe Committee, a banker, or the solicitors to this Company. The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip certifi cates, of which due notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by any party making default in the execution of those deeds will be for feited. Plans and prospectuses, with forms of applications for shares, may be had of the Solicitors, and of the following Stock and Sharebrokers, viz. :—Messrs.

This important line of railway will commence at a point on the Manchester and Bolton Railway, between Bolton and larnworth, running thence In a direct line through Worsley and Patricroft to a point on the Manchester South Junction and alltrincharn Railway, with which it will firm a Junction, to Cheadle, where it will unite with the Macclesfield branch of the Manchester and Birmingham Railway, by which means a direct railway communication will be opened with Macclesfield, and the various lines of railway proposed to terminate there. The great advantage to be derived from a communication between Bolton and Altrincham, and via Cheadle with Macclesfield, will at once be seen on reference to the map, not only as a feeder and chan nel of communication between existing and projected lines, but also as supplying the link wanting in the chain of direct communication between Bolton, Blackburn, and a very large extent of the populous manufacturing districts and towns of the central part of the county of Lancaster, with the Staffordshire Potteries, the great iron dis tricts, Birmingham, and the metropolis, and consequently the titter mediate places in the lines of the various existing and projFcted railways between Manchester, Macclesfield, and the whole of the southern portion of the kingdom. An important feature in this undertaking is, that whilst it will, by means of existing and projecting lines, open up to the immense agri cultural and manufacturing population of Warwickshire, Stafford shire, and Cheshire, a direct communication with Southport, Black pool, and the c ther watering-places situate on the coast of Lanca shire; it will likewise form a continuation of the proposed direct lines from London (via Macclesfield) to Edinburgh and Glasgow, either by Fleetwood upon Wyre, or by the Lancaster • and Carlisle The saving of distance between Macclesfield and Bolton being Im portant, whilst the great but unavoidable delays which must be in curred In passing through the different termini in Manchester will be obviated. Another important feature in this enterprise is, that It will not materially affect any existing or contemplated lines, and that it will be able, by uniting itself with them, and with ether projected lines, and lines now in the course of formation, to increase their mu tual traffic to a considerable extent both in passengers and goods ; and being the means of establishing a principle of reciprocity, cannot in any manner injure any existing interests. To the town of Bolton and its neighbouring extensive coal fields, it is obvious this line will secure the most important advan tages! by its connexion with existing lines, and others projected which will centre there. It need hardly be added that with all these advantages, a most important traffic for passengers and goods may be relied upon, independent of which, as the line Itself presents no engineering difficulties, or other obstacles of importance, and will be executed at an expense far below the ordinary average, the most ample security to the capitalist is offered. The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share °, obtained, share holders beyond the deposit now paid until the Act of Parliament is !Hf ( rt e ' a r i e7 i l t d n o i n:a w b n e e re r a Ti irs. ll be reserved in the Act to allow 41. per shares will be reserved for the landowners and others having local interests in the this, and who are friendly to the interests of this Company.

Henry Norton, Esq. Uxbridge William Blandy, Esq. High Wycombe Messrs. Dudley and Son, Oxford. PARLIAMENTARY AGENT. This line of railway is proposed to commence at the city of Ox ford ; to pass through the towns of Theme, Princes Risborough, High Wyeombe, and other intermediate places in the counties of Oxford and Buckingham ; and to pass on through Uxbridge to West Drayton, in the county of Middlesex, where it will join the Great Western Railway. From the town of Thame, through which it will pass, a railway _ . has been projected to Aylesbury, which will, by means of the pre sent Aylesbury Junction, form a connection between the proposed line and the London and Birmingham ; while other railways are proposed, which will fbrther extend the communication to the pro posed London and York Railway (or any other which may be carried northwards from London), to the Northern and Eastern, and lastly to the Eastern Counties Railway. Thus the line at pre sent proposed will complete the communication (partially produced by existing and other proposed lines) between Oxford and many im portant and populous places in Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Hert fordshire, and Essex, embracing the seaports and watering-places of Mahlon, Colckester, and Harwich. By the connexions formed with other railways, the various im portant and manufacturing towns and districts of the northern, cen tral, and eastern parts of the country will be placed within ready access of Oxford, its immediate neighbourhood, and the west of England generally, and this important object being effected by so short a line, cannot fail to secure considerable profit, as the mercan tile anti agricultural traffic will be very great, as well as that of passengers. One very prominent advantage arising from the connexion with the Le ndon and Birmingham Railway, will be the ready and cheap uppl,"/ of coal in a district where this essential article is at present exothitantly dear; and, as the consumption in Oxford only must be very considerable, the carriage of it will prove an extensive source of prof,t to the line. - Uxbridge is the largest corn market in England; and the corn mu.nicatlng medium with that tows and the agricultural districts of Brickinghamshire and Oxfordshire, and the surrounding counties, nxust secure a large remunerating traffic. At West Drayton, where this line will terminate, the Great Western Railway furnishes the connecting link to the metropolis, the emporium of the world ; other railways are already projected, In a continuous direction with that of the proposed line, to the proposed - London and Exeter Direct, and (crossing the river Thames) to the South Western, the proposed Portsmouth Direct, and the Brighton and Dover Railways. Thus Oxford and Its locality will be directly connected by railway with the west of Middlesex, Kingston- on- Thames, Dorking, Reigate, Brighton, and Dover; and, indeed,vith the counties of Surrey and Kent generally, avoiding the delay, dis tance, and expense, resulting from the present route by way of London. But, by the connexion formed with the Great Western Railway above alluded to, a most important object will be attained, namely, a direct railway communication between Oxford and the metropolis, "which cannot fail to secure the whole of the traffic Itom the one place to the other, as the present line, formed by a junction with the Great Western at Didcot, is very circuitous, and the route will be shortened twelve miles or more. The proposed line may also be re garded as an extension of the projected lines from Oreord to Glouces ter and Worcester, and of all other lines westward of Oxford, not only towards the metropolis, but to the whole of the country and various rat/ways to which it forms a communication. Oxford, celebrated as a large and splendid city, and more espe cially as being the seat of one of our principal Universities, and con taining about 25,000 inhabitants, should undoubtedly be furnished with a good railway communication, both with London and with the country at large ; and as no line could be projected which would embrace both these objects so extensively and successfully as the present,. •there is every reason to believe the business done on it will be considerable, and will yield considerable return on the capital invested. A large amount of local traffic may also be expected on the line, as it will pass through a rich and populous tract of country, containing, within six miles distance from the site of the proposed railway, about 150,00 3 inhabitants, who are yet, for the most part, unaccommodated with •the advantages of a railway. This tract of country," being chiefty of an agricultural character, highly cultivated and ;produc tive, a ready and cheap conveyance to Oxford and other market town s in the immediate vicinity will be found very desirable. There are no peculiar difficulties presented to engineering con structions along this line, the surface is comparatively level, and the geological formation favourable ; the expense will be small compared with that of many others, and the greatest portion of the line does nut approximate any ornamental or residential property. The usual powers will be applied for in the Act, to allow four per cent per annum on all calls until the completion of the undertaking, and no liability will attach to any subscriber beyond the amount of his subscription. Parties locally interested, and shareholders in the Great Western, the Aylesbury, and Thame Railway, and other proposed lines in conjunction with the present, to have the preference as applicants for shares in this undertaking. Applications for Shares on the printed forms, to be made to the Solicitor ; to the Secretary, at the Company's offices ; to the Local Agents ; or to Richard Haighton Wilkins, Esq. Stockbroker, 4, Bank Chambers, London. In all instances reference must be given to a member of the Corn. mittee, a banker, or a solicitor of known respectability. R. MORTON CALEY, Secretary.
