The object of this Company is to establish a direct line of rail way for passengers, goods, and commercial, mining, and agricul. tural produce between the harbour of Watchet on the Bristol Channel, and the harbour of Bridport on the English Channel, and provide means of inland transit for a large proportion of the pro duce at present necessarily sent by the dangerous and uncertain passage round the Land's End, and at the same time afford to the intermediate rich and populous districts ready and convenient rail way communication. The direct line will be 48 miles in length, and will proceed from Watchet to Taunton, and thence by Hatch Beauchamp, and by Ilminster to Chard, and by Crewkerne and Beaminster to Bridport harbour. A branch will proceed out of the line, about mid-way between ‘Vatchet and Taunton, directly to Wiveliscombe. All these towns and their neighbourhoods are populous and opulent, and many of them very much so, and the localities are remarkable for their richness, fertility, beauty, and numerous resident gentry. At Wiveliscombe this line will avail itself of the North Devon Railway to Taunton, and also westward; at Taunton it will enter the station of the Bristol and Exeter Railway, and thence proceed to Mangerton, four miles short of Bridport, where it will unite with the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, one of the Great Western lines of Railway, and thence proceed on that line to Bridport Harbour. It will also cross the proposed line from Yeovil to Exeter about two miles west or Crewkerne. The junction of the two Channels was long since deemed an im portant object. lateect tut.ensnuireV,eztsrw.rerei successively made for e ship canal by the Mr. Telford, and other scientific men, who concurred in the importance a work in a na. tional point of view„,; the design was maturedsucahn 18114 an Act of Parliament was passed; and it stands recorded canals d s ii th Mr. Telford and Captain Nichols, that the e ;: e . 4lllr a it :l f f canal would rd a remuneration to the subscribers of 16 1 ,i per cent, on 1,71'2,844/. The sum required for this work, being so much less than that for the Ship canal ; the increased demand of a greatly increased population, and the present vast commercial energies of the country, make it manifest that goods may be conveyed by this railway at Mr less than half the charge upon which Mr. Telford and Captain Nichols formed their opinion. • The intended - . fine front Minehead to Bragewater, will meet p . l cross this line near Watcher, -- No railway, either made, or being made, or projected, will serve the purposes which this important and favoured line will serve. The country it will pass through possesses a population exceed ing 150,000. It leads to marine watering places of much resort— Weymouth, Lyme, and Seaton on the English Channel shore, and Linton, hitnehead, and Blue Anchor on the shore of the Bristol Channel. Taunton, which may now be considered the county town of Somersetshire, has always been the market and trading town of the country north-west of it, including Watchet and its surrounding district ; the route to which, from London and the north, is through Taunton. A well remunerating passenger traffic may hence be expected. The country also contains between 80 and 100 mills and fac tories, many of which are worked by steam in aid of water-power, and many more of the proprietors will avail themselves of steam power when coals shall be procurable at a reduced rate by this railway. The millers are most desirous of having the markets of South Wales opened to them. Several influential coal proprietors of South Wales are members of the Provisional Committee. _ The country also possesses several extensive lime quarries, for manure; the lime is burnt with culm brought from Wales ; the conveyance both of the culm and lime is at present attended with much expense to the agriculturist. The line will also be of high importance to this agricultural district by opening to it the markets of Taunton, Tiverton, South Molton, Barnstaple, in the north of Devon, Exeter, and London. The towns of Taunton, Ilminster, Chard, Crewkerne, Beaminster, Broadwindsor, Enid. port, Axminster, Charmouth, and Lyme Regis, will be connected by the line, and derive from it supplies of coals, culm, timber, dry goods, and other articles of import. The line will afford to those towns and their populous neighbourhoods, increased facilities of communication with other lines of railroad. The usual prevalence of westerly winds during the winter months is so great as to render the passage round the Land's-end very un. certain. The facilities offered by the proposed railway will obviate such uncertainty, save many hundred miles of dangerous sea pas sage, and mere than compensate for the charges attending reship ment at Bridport from Watchet, particularly in the article of Welsh coals, now in great demand in and about London for steam. engines, steam-boats, and other purposel. The harbour of Bridport admits vessels at spring.tides of 350 tons burthen; it receives large supplies of coals, culm, flax, hemp, Baltic and American timber, iron, slate, tallow, staves, and nu. merous other articles ; which, in the aggregate, last year, amounted to nearly 40,000 tons, a large portion of which consisted of flax and hemp, for the numerous manufactories of yarns, sailcloth, sacks, nets, lines, twines, and linen goods, which when wrought would pass along the line to the two ports, for shipment, or to other railways. The harbour of Watchet, at spring.tides, admits vessels of 200 tons burthen, and carries on an extensive and important daily trade with the ports of Tenby, Llanelly, Swansea, Neath, Cardiff, New port, and Merthyr Tydvil, in coals, culm, corn, flour, and other provisions, cattle, sheep, salt, timber, slates, iron, and other articles of merchandise ; employing twelve vessels belonging to the harbour regularly and exclusively; one trading with Liverpool. It has also a considerable corn, malt, flour, and goods trade with Bristol, and employs therein several vessels regularly Both the harbours are capable of being much improved, and belong to proprietors able and willing to improve them to meet the increased wants of the community. The port of Watchet, as it is, has the largest and most important trade on the English side of the Bristol Channel. This Railway will increase that trade fourfold, and therewith its own prosperity. The shore contiguous to Watchet exclusively abounds with lime of the most celebrated description, both for water-works and ex terior building, being the same as the universally known and cele brated Aberthaw lime, which also is on the directly opposite coast; and at and around Watchet are extensive corn and flour mills, paper mills, and clothing mills. The foregoing facts show that the line must have a very exten sive goods traffic. It is not intended to put forward Watchet as a packet station either for Ireland or South Wales; nor does this measure require such aid. No portion of the coast of the Bristol Channel, east of Ilfracombe, can have the slightest pretension to be, or be made, a packet station. In the first place, it is obvious• that the railway in actual progress from the Government Dock-yard at Pembroke (or Hobbe's Point, 100 miles further down the Bris tol Channel) will take all the packet trade from the south of Ireland : Liverpool takes Dublin;whilst Ilfracombe (50miles west of Watchet), and Swansea (directly opposite to Ilfracombe), maintain a regular steam packet passenger and goods traffic; and in the second place, all the harbours on the English side east of Ilfracombe are dry, and for a great length, at low water, the shores being very flat, and to construct a harbour on them, to admit large class steamers and to land passengers at all times of the tide, would, if not impracticable, cost an enormous sum. To hold out expectations that either of them might be such packet station, would for the above reasons be The extended North Devon line of railways will serve the port of Ilfracombe and its packets. A survey has been made by the engineers, who have reported that the line is easy of construction, and will not interfere with any park. It affords great satisfaction to the promoters to be enabled to announce that the directors of the Bristol and Exeter Railway Company have promised to give this measure their favourable con sideration, and the promoters entertain a sanguine expectation that it will receive their support. The neighbouring landowners and gentry are favourable to the measure, and all the merchants and traders both at Watchet and Bridport, as well as the principal coal proprietors in South Wales, and all persons throughout the line, entertain a high opinion of its merits, and earnestly desire it. Many extensive landowners on the line, whose names do not appear on the Provisional Committee, have yet expressed them selves as friends to the measure. The Act will be applied for next session, and the liabilities will be limited to the amount of subscriptions, and interest at four per cent. will be paid on all calls from the time of payment until the opening of the line. An early allotment of the shares will be made, and the usual Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be exe cuted by the Shareholders when called upon.

This Company has been formed for the purpose of constructing and maintaining a direct line of railway between the towns of Liverpool and Derby, by proceeding from an independent terminus at Liverpool, or on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, diverg ing in a direct course to Warrington, Knutsford, thence to Congle ton, Leek, Ashbourne, by Brailsford and Langley, to Derby, thus affording railway accommodation (the want of which has for some considerable time been most seriously felt) to four large interme diate manufacturing towns, and completing a direct communica tion to Ireland, Liverpool, and the north-west of England, from Nottingham, Grantham, and the Eastern ports of Boston, Lynn, and Yarmouth ; as also (in conjunction with the Midland Coun. ties Railway) from Leicester, Melton Mowbray, Oakham, Stam. ford, Peterborough, Ely, and Cambridge; and forming, by the intended Churnet and Blythe Valley Railway, the most direct line of communication between Liverpool and London. The importance of the different towns through which this rail way will pass, is sufficient to oonvince all parties that on public grounds alone it is absolutely necessary; and that the immense local traffic not only justifies but demands its formation, independently of the great accession which must necessarily follow, from the advan. tages wt.ich will be given to the several towns and ports above enumerated, and to the various ports south-east of Derby, in opening to them the grand commercial depot and port of Liverpool. The necessity of establishing the most direct railway communi cation between the towns of Liverpool and Derby is self-evident, from the fact of the enormous traffic which at present exists under the most disadvantageous circumstances ; the nearest communica tion by railway being 120 miles, whilst, by the construction of the proposed line, the entire distance will be reduced to about 73 miles, opening at the same time the shortest practicable route between Liverpool, Manchester, and London. It would be superfluous, in reference to a line presenting so many extraordinary advantages, to encumber the prospectus with details of estimated traffic; for, independent of Its possessing the great desideratum of directness, the present local trade, it is well known, will produce a return that evidently must surpass that of any other scheme which has hitherto been projected. It may further be mentioned, as worthy of consideration, that the proposed line, which must necessarily form a " Great Trunk line," interferes with no existing railway, presents no engineering difficulties, and requires no works to cause any delay in its com pletion. Power will be taken by the Act of Parliament to allow in terest at the rate of 4/. per cent. per annum on all calls until the opening of the line; and no subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond his subscription. Until an Act of Parliament be obtained, the affairs of the Corn. pany will be under the direction and control of the Committee of Management. Power will be applied for in the Act—and, in the meantime, is hereby given to the Committee of Management—to increase the proposed capital, if necessary ; to abandon any part of the line; to make branch lines, or enter into arrangements with any other company or companies; and to nominate the first Direc tors of the Company. In the allotment of shares a preference will be given to all parties locally interested, and shareholders in the different railways communicating with the line. Application for prospectuses, maps, and shares, in the form sub joined, may be made to F. W.

The establishment of the above railway will effect two great and important objects :—first, the supply of the metropolis and its vicinity with coal fully twenty per cent. cheaper than by the pre sent mode of transit: secondly, by the exclusion of passenger traffic, to diminish the risk of accidents, which objects can only be attained by constructing a railway for the express purpose of carry ing coals and merchandise exclusively. The expenses of the London and Birmingham Railway for 1844 (set forth in the prospectus of this Company), prove that coal may be brought the entire distance from the Northern Col lieries to London at one-half the cost of coal conveyed by ship, and yet leave a profit of ten per cent. upon a capital of 5,000,0001., and this is also satisfactorily ascertained, by calculations more directly referring to the Coal Railway itself. In addition to the through traffic, accommodation will be afforded to the intermediate districts for the conveyance of coals and goods, which will materially increase the revenue of the Company. It ir, moreover, clearly to be shown that the supply of coal to be ob. tained by means of the Coal Railway, in neighbourhoods where the price has hitherto been so great, will effect a reduction in some places of one-half, and in others two thirds of the former rates. It is proposed to raise the required capital in 200,000 shares of 25/. each ; deposit 2/. 12s. 6d. per share, the subsequent calls to be made in the usual way. The customary clauses will be inserted in the Act, limiting the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their respective shares. Interest, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum will be allowed on all calls between the passing of the Act and the opening of the railway, The Committee of Management have the satisfaction to state, that owing to the measures that have been taken, the surveys, &c., are in a very forward state, and that the necessary documents will be deposited in accordance with the standing orders of Parliament, and application made for the Bill in the approaching session. Prospectuses, with fuller information and in detail, together with Forms of Application, may be obtained on applying to the Solicitors of the Company, Messrs.

The Committee, with the view of enabling responsible parties (desirous to participate in the allotment) to secure at least some shares in this great undertaking, will permit the pay ment of a preliminary deposit of 10s. 6d. per share previous to ap plication being made ; and will guarantee that the parties so paying shall have shares allotted them, to at least the number upon which the sum paid by them as a preliminary deposit shall cover the full deposit of 21. 12s. 6d. They, however, reserve to themselves the right of limiting this privilege to the extent of 100 shares, if a larger number should be applied for, or even of refusing it, in cases where they may find on inquiry that the applicant is not in their judgment eligible to be a shareholder; in such cases the deposit will be immediately returned ; nor will this privilege be extended beyond the disposition of 100,000 shares, after which the bankers of the Company will receive instructions to refuse further prelimi • nary deposits. The preliminary deposits must be paid to the bankers of the Company, who will furnish a receipt for the same. The Cosa inittee caution the public not to negotiate such receipts, as their undertaking to supply the shares holds good only so far as the applicants, upon their references being examined into, prove re spectable and responsible. They particularly request that each applicant for shares who avails himself of this privilege will state, in his application, the amount of the deposit he has paid, and the number of the bankers' receipt.

The line of railway which is now proposed for adoption is a material link in the general railroad system, not only as connecting the city of Salisbury with the county town of Dorsetshire and the seaport and watering-place of Weymouth, but as an essential com pletion of the channel of communication from the whole of the northern, midland, and north-eastern counties to the coast of Dorset. The Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway Company (already incorporated by Act of Parliament,) the Exeter, Dorchester, and Weymouth Junction Coast Railway, and the Rugby, Swindon, and Weymouth Direct Junction Railway (both now in projection), will supply ample means of transit between Dorchester and Weymouth ; but the city of Salisbury, in which many lines from the east, north, and west, are proposed to converge, requires the railway now sug gested as a natural extension of " The Oxford and Salisbury Direct Railway," at present before the public. These two lines would thus become powerful adjuncts to each other. _ . Commencing at Salisbury, it is proposed to proceed, in a slightly eurYed line by or near to Cranborne, to Blandford, and thence, by or near to Bere-Regis and Piddletown, to Dorchester, a distance in the whole of about forty-five miles. A grand trunk line of railway, from the northern districts of Great Britain to the coast of Dorset, will by this means.' be perfected ; and the market-towns of Crunborne, Bland. ford, and Bere-Regis, and the Parliamentary borough of Dorchester, will also be furnished with railroad accommodation. The experience of the last few years has abundantly proved that the railwa; system must advance as a matter of indispensable neces sity. The hitherto partial operation of that system, whilst it has afforded unparalleled and unexpected facilities to the transactions of business in all its branches, to domestic and friendly intercourse, and to the indulgence of rational enjoyment and recreation, by ex peditious and ec,mosnical means of transit, in those directions and lo calities in which it prevails, has to a most inconvenient extent pro duced difficulties in other districts formerly sufficiently supplied with, but now deprived of, the means of posting and mail and stage-coach travelling. The conveyance of goods is obstructed by simlar obstacles ; it having been found much cheaper to adopt the transit by the nearest railroad, however circuitous in its route, and though remote in its most proximate junction, than to resort to the former means of traffic, which have consequently ceased to exist. It would perhaps be difficult to point out a district in England to which these remarks more properly apply than the tract of country now proposed to be traversed from Salisbury to Blandford and Dor chester. A prospectus, with a map of the line, and the names of a powerful Provisional Committee, will very shortly be published. In the mean time, further information may be obtained trom Messrs. Elmslie and Preston, 47, Moorgate-street, London, the solicitors to the under taking ; or the Secretary, Z.

By this Company it is proposed to supply railway accommoda tion, through an independent channel, to all the principal towns in Buckinghamshire, and to many In the other counties through which the projected line is to run, 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 arrangement 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 company, 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 their monopoly, 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 nith 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 Clut?lont, to Amersham and Wenduver, and thence to Aylesbury, by Winslow, to Buckingham. , It will take a course from thence through 13rockley and Banbury, by Leamington and Warwick, to Birminghaw, having the advantage of being the shortest route hitherto proposed between Birmingham and London.

PARLIAMENTARY AGENT—Cadwaller F. Wrinkly, ESQ. The object of this line of railway is to connect, by a direct route, the important town and seaport of Bestow with the centre of Eng land, by way of Grantham and Melton Mowbray, where it will join the Syston and Peterborough branch of the Midland Counties Railway. By this railway, which will be about forty-four miles in length, and laid through a country nearly level, it is intended to pass by or near Swinlshead,!Donington, Felkingliam, Grantham, Stoke, Roch ford, and Melton Mowbray. It is evident that this line will be of great convenience and utility, by affording to a part of the counts at present deprived of it the advantage of railway communication with the counties of Rutlandshire, 'Leicestershire, Northampton shire, Warwickshire, &c., and thus connecting the agricultural districts of Lincolnshire with the manufacturing parts of England, affording to the latter an easy and accessible means of export for their manufactures. It is unnecessary to enlarge upon the advantages which will arise from this railway, which passes through one of the richest and most fertile parts of England. The population is dense, and a glance at the map will show that this line is well laid out, not only for the direct traffic from Leicester and the intermediate places to Boston, but also for the general traffic which will De brought to this line by the several railways which will be connected with it. In the allotment of shares, holders in the Midland Counties Rail way will receive a preference, and reservation will be made for the landed interests along the line, whose concurrence and assistance is fully relied on by the promoters, by whom most of the influential landholders have been canvassed ; and, in order to prevent unneces sary trouble, no other applications will be received except those wherein reference is made to a member of are Provisional Commit- tee, to the Solicitors or Bankers, or the following Sharebrokers, from whom prospectuses and plans may be obtained Messrs Sutton, Gribble, and Sutton, Royal Exchange Messrs.

Coombe and Sharland, Town-hall, Gravesend Messrs. J. and E. Blaker, Lewes. Temporary Offices, No. 2, Guildhall-chambers, Basinghall-street. The object of this undertaking is to open a direct line of rail way to connect the Northern, Eastern, and South Essex Railways, by means of a steam ferry from Tilbury Fort to Gravesend, with Tunbridge Wells, Lewes, and Brighton. It is contemplated to proceed from the Eastern Counties Rail way at or near Harlow station to Tilbury, crossing the river by a steam floating-bridge to Gravesend, passing by Cobham, Snodland, Mailing, and Hadlow to Tunbridge, thence by the South. Eastern Railway to Tunbridge Wells, passing Uckfleld to Lewes, and thence joining tke Brighton, Lewes, and Hastings Railway to Brighton. An inspection of the map will clearly show the great import ance of this railway, whether considered in a local or national point of view, forming as it will a moat useful chain of local com munication for the fertile and populous tracts through which it passes. u th n e mouthtion, b of y It will bring the Northern and East ern C ount i es the Thames, and North Kent, into di rec t co ; ica t way of Brighton, with Dieppe and Havre, and thus m term, in con_ b junction with the railways now in progress on the Continent, shortest possible route to Paris and the Mediterranean By this railway the large population of the North Eastern Coun ties, numbering ne arl y two millions, will have a direct and easy commun i ca tion with the whole of the populous and important counties of Kent and Sussex, without going round to London, and thereby avoiding the inconvenience arising from the uncinnected lines north and south of the metropolis. The utility of this line to the naval and military service, both in times of peace and war, for the conveyance of troops and stores, is evident. With the existing railways, and those now in progress in Kent and Sussex, a most complete system of local communication will be effected ; and as such, the project has been received with the most distinguished approbation and pledges of support from the principal proprietors along the line, and the Corporation of Gravesend have promised their entire sanction to, and will cordially support it. The ground has been carefully surveyed, and fottrid to present no difficulties to the formation of a good working line. The existing local traffic has been ascertained to be amply suf. ficient to fulfil the requirements of the undertaking ; but a large accession of valuable traffic cannot fail to be the result of the increased accommodotion thus afforded to the public, and rendering the undertaking one of the most important as well as productive l In T es he frailwayin that part of the co un t r y. Committee reserve power to themselves to form branches from Snodland to Chatham. The liability of the shareholders will be restricted by Act of Parliament to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be applied 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. Applications for prospectuses and also for shares may be addressed in the usual form to George Smith, Esq. Solicitor, 24 , Golden.square, and No. 2, Guildhall-chambers, Basinghall-street ; Messrs.
