The title of this line sufficiently and correctly explains the object of the undertaking. The Birmingham terminus will be placed in communication with all the other railways having a station in that town, and will be brought as near as practicable to its centre. Proceeding thence in a northerly direction. and on the west side of the Lichfield road, it will pass within a short distance of Sutton Coldfield, and to Lichfield, at the latter of which places there will be a tation in communication with the projected Walsall lines. Thence crossing the Trent Valley, near King's Bromley, it will pursue the course of the Blythe Valley, or by or near to Abbots Bromley to Leigh, where it will leave the Blythe Valley, and by a short cutting reach the Teats station on Remington's London and Manchester line at the junction of the Crewe branch, or by a junc tion with whichever of the projected lines to Manchester may be adopted by Parliament. The entire length of the new line to be made will not exceed thirty-four miles, and the whole will be carried over a most favour able country—two-thirds being a water-level. Sections ofa great portion of the line have been made, and the en tire Parliamentary survey will be completed by the 9th ofOctober. This railway will afford a route from Birmingham to Manchester eleven miles shorter than by any existing or projected line. It will also give the best and nearest line between Huddersfield, and Bit , mineham. ham to the Potteries than any line made or projected by several miles, assuming any of the projected Pottery lines to have their ter mini at Colwich, on the Trent Valley, or at Stafford, on the Grand Junction Railway ; thus giving to Manchester, and also the Pot teries, the shortest, easiest, and most direct route to Birmingham. It will also give the nearest line between Huddersfield and Birming ham and Southampton. This railway crosses the projected Leeds and Huddersfield and Wolverhampton Direct Railway. In the Blythe Valley a station will be placed, and communication effected, so as to afford to Birmingham the shortest route by many miles, with Leeds, Huddersfield, Sheffield, and the northern parts of England. In allotting shares every legi timate preference will be given to the landholders on the line. It is obvious that the projected line will afford an ample return to the shareholders.

The Committee of Management hereby give Notice that they have COMPLETED the ALLOTMENT of SHARES, and that the usual letters are this day issued. In the arduous duty of deciding on claims unprecedented, it is believed, in their number and respecta bility, the Committee have been obliged to give a preference to ap plicants locally interested, or likely to bring to bear for 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 Shareholders.

Commencing at Cambridge, which has now become the traffic centre of the Eastern Counties, by the line of railway intended to be formed by that Company, this line will proceed td Bedford, there passing near Olney it will cross at or near the Ellsworth Station of the London and Birmingham 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 Worcester, and thus terminate at the great centre of traffic for the mineral and manufacturing districts of South Staffordshire, Shropshire, and North and South Wales. This proposed lino 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 their support and co-operation will be ensured for obtaining the line now proposed. An arrangement Ila:s also been made with the proposed Rugby, Warwick, and Worcester Company, Alch this line will join at Al cester, and by means of which the Eastern Counties' traffic will pro ceed to Worcester. Power will be reserved to the Directors to amalgamate with any other existing or projecting Companies, or to vary the line.

By this Company it is proposed to supply railway accommoda tion, through an independent channel, to all the principal t , e - ns in Buckinghamshire, and to irony 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 super intendence of the Lon don and Birmi ng ham Railway Com patty, as their lessees in perpetuity, receiving four per cent. ou the outlay, with a conditional arrange ment as to the surplus profit. monopoly of the London and Birmingham Company, which it was principal object to destroy, is more strongly secured than before, and the profits which would accrue to au 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 Loudon 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 Iluckinghamshire Railway by the London and Birmingham Company proves their consciousness of the necessty of a railway communication through the country proposed to be traversed; and to prevent a continuance of their 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 strenu ous support of many landed pro prietors in the counties through which it will pass, who have hitherto withheld their co-operation trona 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.

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 Hounaloor from London. Leaving Hounslow the line pro ceeds through Whitton, Twickenham, Teddinaton, and Hampton. the South-Western Railway, whence it will proceed to, axd terminate at ,Epsom. The towns and places through which the line passes, or most imme diately affects, contain an aggregate population of about 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 toe obvious to require comment. A glance at the snap will at once show that the communication now proposed is not only judicious, but, in order to satisfy the requirements 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 time and great inconvenience of going round by the metropolis. So also as to Brentford, Hounslow, King ston, and Epsom—it will afford to theta access to the Great Western, Londbn 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 _el 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 divid:nd on the outlay. This undertaking presents the additional and important advantage of competing with no line at present established ; on the contrary, 1 it will be the mean; 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 apply for the Act in the ensuing session. ' Applieation for shares must lie 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 coin • munications from parties locally interested should be addressed ; also to the following local solicitors, Henry Norton , Esq., IJxbridge C.

PARLIAMENTARY AGENT .4... ....... . , This railway is intended, in conjunction with theexistinF lines, to form a direct communication between the English and Bristol Channels, thus affording the means of transit by railway from the English Channel to the Irish Sea, as well as completing the grand trunk lines front the north, north-west, and north-east parts of Great Britain. The proposed line of railway will commence at or near the harbour at Lyme Regis, in the county-.of Dorset, and proceed from thence through Lyme, tip-Lime, Axiiinster, Chardstock, Chard, and Ihninster, arid trminate at Taunton, in the county of Somerset, where it will join other important lines, and be the means of transit for passengers and traffic to the most important places in the locality, as well as throughout the kingdom. The length of the line will be about twenty-six miles, and, from the preliminary survey which has been taken, it appears there are no extraordinary difficulties, nor will it interfere with ornamental property. _ . The support of the principal landowners and other influential parties on the line has been secured ; and taking into consideration the short and easy communication with the coast of France aid the Channel Islands, and the accommodation for shipping of considerable tonnage which it is proposed to effect by the extension of the present harbour, the shareholders cannot fail to derive a permanent and still increasing advantage from the vast augmentation of traffic by passengers and merchandise, as well as from abroad and coast wise, as to and from the whole interior of the kingdom, with which the line will be connected by existing and progressing railways. The beanty and situation of the place as a resort for visitors is well known; and on the plans now proposed for facilitating the inter course with the interior, and connecting the two opposite Channels, being carried into effect, it is beyond all question clear, that the trade and mercantile prosperity of the port, as well as the extent and importance of the town, and the several places connected with it by the projected line, must be immensely increased. This line will'establish a lucrative trade in lime, manures, fish, .agrienltural produce, _particularly at e s ast the , principality or Males, rroti znuat Wouis.,arily cello is rain I.lll,can reutts advantage to the whole locality of the several important towns through which it will pass. The improvement of the port and harbour at Lyme, and its exten sion so as to admit vessels of a larger class of merchantmen and steamers, cannot fail to command the at!ention and support of all aersons from Salisbury we4ward to Exeter, together with Bristol, Bath, the principality of Wales, and all p erns of the north, visiting or trading with the Channel Islands, France, and other parts of the Continent, thus making the port of Lyme to those places what Southampton is new to London ant its contiguity The peculiar Privilege secured ty Act of Parliament, exempting the shipping of the port of Lyme from the Dover and Ramsgate harbour dues, payable by all other coasting vessels, as also the advantages of its being a bonded port, must not be overlooked. The enlargement and extension of the harbour at Lyme Regis into a port of retlige, must be considered as of great national importance. This harbour is accessible with winds which prevent entrance into any other ports in the Great Western Bay (being the only one in the whole of that extensive bay without a bar), amid its importance, even in its present state, may be estimated by the following extract from Mr. Roberts's " History of Lyme Regis," giving the substance of a report of a Committee of the House of Commons : LYME REGIS HARBOUR. " A Committee of the House of Commons was engaged in in quiries respecting the repairs required, and entered into ex aminations as to considering the pier a national work. The re sult was that this harbour was the best in the bay ; that in spriug ales, at high-water, it is open to vessels of 120 to 150 tons, and with draught of 14 feet ; that notwithstanding the circumstances of its being a dry harbour, it is in some respects preferable to tile bar harbours 011 the coast, sonic of which rio vessel dare run for wills the wind blowing violently on the shore, accompanied with a high sea ; for, should a vessel strike On the bar at the entrance of a harbour, she might pass over the bar and sink in deep water ; but when a vessel strikes the ground at Lyme, she must be under circumstances of shelter and comparative a curity, being then protected by the outer most part of the cobb, unless her draught of water be very great. " Round the outermost part of the stones at the cud of the cobb, which break the sea, there is, at low water, spring tides twelve feet. It has proved the means, in many instances, of saving vessels with their crews, which would otherwise have been inevitably lost. " The regularity of the cattle trade between the west of Eng land and the Islands of Guernsey and Jersey (a trade in time of war of great importance), depends on the peculiar position of this harbour, which makes it accessible with winds that prevent entrance into other ports of the West Bay."—Report of Committee. During the late war, the Government contractors for supplying the army in the Channel Islands, selected this port as the best for the shipment of cattle. In the month of November, 1815, one vessel from this harbour made four passages to those islands when vessels from other ports could not go to sea. Many ships from India and other places, wind-bound in the Channel, have been compelled to land their passengers at Lyme, no other port being accessible during cer tain contrary winds. Many lives and vessels have been saved, even in the present state of the harbour, and, when enlarged, its value in a national point of view, as a harbour of refuge, will be incalculable. The saving in distance by landing at Lyme, instead of going round the Land's-End, to or from Bristol, will be several hundred miles, and independently of this largo saving in distance, the certainty of tile proposed communication, by avoiding the chances of delay through contrary winds, is perhaps still more important in a mer cantile light. The capital intended to be raised is 800,0001., divided into 40,000 shares of 201. each. A deposit of 21. Is. per share must be paid, upon allotment, and no call will be made until the Act of Parliament shall be .obtained, authorising the construction of the works. The liability of the shareholders will be limited, by the Act, to the amount of their respective subscriptions to the capital stock ; and power will be applied for, to allow interest at the rate of 4/. per cent. per annum, on the amount of the deposits, and upon the further calls until the opening of the line. Power will also be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime power is given to the Committee of Ma nagement to increase the capital, if necessary; to alter or abandon any part of the line ; to make branches therefrom ; or enter into ar rangements with any other company, or companies.

This line of railway, although only about twenty-eight miles in length, is a most important one, as forming a connecting link to several existing lines, and across a district at present destitute of such accommodation. It commences at the Thirsk station on the Great North of England Railway, and proceeds in a direct line to Pickering, where it will form a junction with the York, Scarborough, Pickering, and Whitby lines. It is supported by the various com panies having 'lines of railway running into Leeds and Thirsk, and by means of this proposed line a distance of twenty-two miles will be saved between Thirsk and Whitby, and about sixteen between Thirsk and Scarborough. It would certainly be the grand route to Whitby, Scarborough, and Burlington, and the intermediate towns of Helmsley and Kirkby-Moorside, so badly provided for at present accommodation, from all places west or north of Thirsk, means of communication are altogether inadequate. The landowners on the line are few in nurre , er, and are friendly to the project, which presents no great engineering difficulties. It in terferes with no existing railway property, and every care will be taken not to interfere with any ornamental property. It will at once appear unnecessary, with respectto this line, to enter into details of passengers and goods traffic. They cannot for a mo ment be questioned ; and when by this railway so much easier access is made between the important seaport of Whitby and the fashion able resorts of Scarborough, Burlington Quay, and Harrowgate, as well as the populous and important towns of the West Riding of York shire and Lancashire, with which it will form an uninterrupted com munication, it cannot fail to be highly beneficial to those interested in this undertaking. • Until the Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the proposed Company will be under the control of the Committee, of whom five are to be a quorum. Application for shares must b 3 made to the solicitors of the Com • pany (of whom prospectuses and forms of applications may be ob tained), accompanied by a reference either to some member of the Committee, one of the solicitors, or one of the following share brokers—viz., Messrs. Boyd, 4, New Bank-buildings; and Robert Johnston, Esq., 5, Shorter's-court, Throgmort. It-street, London ; Messrs. Rlsdales, Myers, and Bailey, and James Hill and Co., Leeds; Messrs. Watson and Taylor, Darlington. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. Te the Committee ol the Whliby, Pickering, Thirsk, and Great North of En, land Junction Railway. Gentlemen,—l request you to allot me shares of 251. each in the above undertaking ; and I agree to pay the deposit on the same, or such number as you may appropriate to me, and to sign the necessary deeds when required thereto.
