Deposit I/. 7s. 6d. per Share. (Provisionally Registered.) PRELIM I NARY A NN OUNCEMENT. The object of this Company is to supply the jnhabitants of the southern, and a portion of the northern, districts of the metropolis with the pure water of the River Wandle, in lieu of that which they at present derive through the established Companies from the Thames, contaminated as it is by the sewerage of the whole metropolis. The River Wandle rises at Croydon, and falls into the Thames at Wandsworth. The water will be taken from the mouth of the river, thus avoiding compensation to the mlllowners and others on the ,tream. This river willbe preserved uncontaminated by means of a series of sewers c nstructed along its course, into which every impurity now finding its way into the stream will be turned, and flow direct' into the Thames. By this mode a pure supply of wales, exceeding In the driest season 27,000,000 g.tlions daily, or more titan four times the quantity supplied by the present Companies on the south side, will be secured to this Company. This project, which is of real and undoubted importance, will com mand a most profitable return on the outlay, and confer a !mit on the immense population of the districts in question. The necessary surveys and estimates have been completed. Detailed prospectuses, containing the names of the Provisional Committee and officers, will be punished shortly. Meantime appli cations for shares, in the form below, should be made to the joint solicitors of the Company, Messrs. Burchell, Kilgour, and Parson, 47, Parliament-street; and Messrs. Watts, Galsworthy, and Gals worthy, 19, Ely-place, Holborn. To the Provisional Committee of the River Wandle Water Company.

Provisionally Registered. The Provisional Committee beg to announce that they have com pleted the allotment of shares in this undertaking, and that all the letters of allotment have been this day posted. They regret that, in conseque.ice of the overwhelming number of applications for shares which they have received, they have been compelled' materially to reduce' the amounts allotted, in almost every instance, and, in in numerous cases, wholly to pass over the claims of highly respect able and influential parties .to whom they would have willingly made allotments, had the number of shares at their disposal enabled them so to do. They, trust, therefore, that those applicants whose expec tations may have been disappointed will accept this explanation as - a sufficient apology ; and as applications for shares still continue to arrive,"the Committee are' constrained to repeat their former notice, that it is altogether out of their power to entertain them.

The length of railway to be constructed by this Com pany will be 63 miles, namely, from Cockermouth via Keswick to Windermere, 33 miles; from Keswick to Penrith, 15 ; and from Win dermere to Furness, 15 miles ; and the surveys of the country prove the line to be free from difficulty, and the gradients unexceptionable.

The importance of a direct line of railway from the City of York to the port of Hull, which shall, at the same time, give the greatest extent of accommodation to the intermediate district, now wholly de prived of the means of railway transit, is so apparent, that a com pany has been formed for the construction of a line, commencing by a junction with the London and York, and Leeds and York Railways, at or near York, to the towns of Pocklington, Market Weighton, Bever ley, and terminating at the extensive East Docks, now in course of construction at Hull, with a branch from the main line, com mencing at or near Market Weighton, to Selby, thus affording the shortest and most direct communication from Newcastle and the whole of the north of England, as well as from Skipton, Colne, Otley, and the northern part of Lancashire, by the proposed Lancashire and Yorkshire North-Eas ern Railway, to the important port of Hull, and at the same time forming a complete connexion between the several towns of York, Hull, Beverley, Driftleld, Bridlington, Market Weigh ton, Poeklington, and Selby. The advantages which will be tkus secured to the whole of the East Riding, will appear by a reference to the map ; and negotiations are now perdit , o• by which this line will be promoted in friendly conjunction wjth'other important railways lit the west of Yorkshire and Lancashire. The proposed branch from Market Weighton to Selby will give to a rich and very highly cultivated portion of the East Riding the shertest line for the transmission of its agriculural produce to the markets of Leeds, Wakefield, and the consuming districts, and secure the return of coals, lime, and manures, at a greatly reduced cost ; while the terminus of the main line at the East Docks at Hull Will save the large expenditure which, without the construction of this line, must be incurred in 'the carriage of merchandise across the town. The works will be of very easy c onstruction. A survey is now being made, and a detailed prospectus, with the names of a highly in fluential provisional Committee, together with the amount of capital, and further particulars, will be announced in a few days.

All applicants not receiving letters of allotment must not consider that their applications were overlooked, but that the great demand for Shares over and above the number to be allotted necessarily prevented their being granted. The Committee are happy to be able to Inform their Subscribers that nearly the whole of the landowners along the line have promised their support, and that they have also secured the co-operation of many influential local gentlemen.

The object proposed by this railway is, as well to supply the wants of the district through which it passes, as to cotnplete the chain of railway communication between the eastern and midland counties and the western district, including the whole of North and South Wales. The country through which the line will pass is of the richest description, and thickly populated. By means of this, and the existing and protected lines of railway, the whole of the ports in the eastern and north-eastern counties, In cluding the manufacturing city of Norwich, and towns of Leicester, Nottingham, Sheffield, and Leeds, will be brought in direct com munication with the mineral districts of North and South Wales, and. the salt district of Droitwich._ - • " The promoters of this line submit to the public, as a most import ant consideration, the abating of those causes of loss and inconveni ence which, along the line of country over which this railway will pass, are experienced from water carriage being from necessity at present a principal mode of transit for heavy goods and merchandise, and which, in the winter season, is productive of the most evil con sequences to those engaged in commerce. A manifest advantage to the Shareholders will be the extent of traffic which this line will secure and appropriate, in lieu of that which hitherto has been engrossed by the more dilatory course of water carriage. As a public advantage to the inhabitants generally of the country through which this line will pass, the promoters submit that the equalisation in prices of the produce and merchandise which the opening of this line of railway is calculated to produce is of the high est importance, and one of the principal benefits which this and other similar undertakings are alone capable of producing. The proposed line will commence at Rugby, the terminus of the Midland Counties Railway, and also of the proposed Rugby ond Hunt ingdon Junction Railway, and proceed fr.in thence near to - the towns of Leamington, Warwick, Alcester, and end at the City of Worcester. At Worcester this fine mill form a junction with the several Welsh railways, the Shrewsbury, Worcester, and Crews Union Railway, and the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway. At Warwick it will unite with the Birmingham and Oxford Junc tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway. And at Rugby with the London and Birmingham, the Midland Counties, and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railways. To the inhabitants of Rugby as well as to those of the Midland, Eastern, and Northern Counties this line will afford a direct com munication with the fashionable towns of Leamington and Chelten ham, as well as the whole of the Western 'Counties: To the inhabitants of Leamington and Warwick it will give a direct communication with the City' of Worcester and North and South Wales, now so much needed. And to the inhabitants of Worcester, in addition to providing the nearest route to London via WarVvick, it will be an outlet to the Eastern Counties and .ports, and afford great facilities for the increase of the manufactories now carried on in that city. The whole of the country has during the present month. been most carefully Surveyed by the engineers; and they report it to be free from engineering difficulty, and well adapted for a railway; and the pro visional Directors entertain no doubt that the line will be made under the average rate of expense incident to similar undertakings, and from the statistics in their poseession, that the traffic will afford an ample return for the capital invested. The line will not interfere with any ornamental property, and the landowners are favourable to the undertaking. The Shareholders in the several Railways proposed to be joined or Intersected will have a preference in the allotment of shares in this undertaking. No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the Act is obtained, and power will be applied fer to allow interest at 4/. per centum on all calls, from the time of their respzetive payments, and to limit the liability of the Shareholders to the amount of their sub reriptions. The Directors reserve power to themselves to amalgamate with any existing or projected line of railway ; to vary the route ; to snake all desirable extensions; and to Increase the capital as may be advisable or necessary. Prospectuses, with a Plan, will be published in a few days, and may then be obtained on application to the several solicitors, and to any of the following share brokers, viz., Messrs. Peppercorne and Co., 2, Old Broad-street ; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39, Loth bury, London ; Messrs. Payne and Freer, Leicester ; Messrs. Alston and Gage, Liverpool ; Messrs. Freeman and son, Northampton ' • Mr. John Duncaft, Manchester ; Messrs. George Edwards a nd Son, Bris tol ; Mr. John Watson, Leeds ; Mr. John, Cragg, Shipton ; and Messrs. Atkinson, Newcastle • to any of whom applications in the t a dermentioned form may be iddressed. FORM OF - APPLICATION. To the Provisional Directors of the Rugby, Warwick, and Worcester Railway. I request you to allot me Shares in this undertaking; and I hereby undertake to accept the same or any smaller number that may be allotted me, and to pay the Deposit thereon, and to execute the Parliamentary Contract and Subscriber's Agreement when re quired This railway will proceed from York to Lancaster (about 72 miles, by the most direct practicable route, and pass near Knatesborough, llatrowgate, Long Preston, Settle, and many other important places. The counties of York and Lancaster comprise a population of 3,500,000 persons, and are, perhaps, the most wealthy and populous divisions of the kingdom. The roads b tween York and Lancaster are mostly carried over the tops of hills, and, in winter, are nearly impassable ; this line will pass along the valleys, and the journey, now rarely made, by coach, within twelve hours, may be performed, on the railway, in two 'tours and a half. It will provide facilities of access to all the great manufacturing, mining, and agricultural districts of the north of England, to the Isle of Man, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales; to namburgh, by connecting Morecombe Bay and Fleetwood Harbour on the west coast with the port of Hull on the east coast; to the lakes of Westmoreland and Cumberland; to Harrowgate, celebrated for its unrivalled sulphur, mineral, and chalybeate springs; and to the important intermediate districts between York and Lancaster. which abound with valuable minerals, and raise vast quantities of live stock and agricultural pro duce. Many places near the intended course of the line are known to IMESess inexhaustible supplies of lead, iron, slate, limestone, free stone, and other useful minerals, but these are now comparatively unavailing, from the great cost of coals and carriage. The railway will rapidly develop these sources of prosperity, by introducing coals at a low price, and providing cheap carriage for mineral produce of every kind; it will also furnish a most desirable means of transit for passengers and merchandise to and from every part of the king dom, and a cheap conveyance- for immense quantities of live stock and agricultural produce front the rural to the manufacturing and mining districts. Many completed and projected railways will intersect this line, and greatly facilitate traffic and intercourse in every direction. With the Directors of these railways, and of various others which have a station at York or Lancaster, the Committee will endeavour to make arrangements likely to prove mutually bene ficial, and they have much pleasure in stating that the landowners along the line are extremely favourable to the undertaking, and con alder it will materially augment the value of their possessions and prOve advantageous to the country and the shareholders. It has been fully ascertained that the proposed line presents but few engineering difficulties, and that, although it will pass through E tt a le rl t e, some very hilly districts, it may b e constructed along valle y s, and with favourable gradients throu g hout near l y its e n tire course. The liability of the shareholders will b e restricted by Act of Parliament to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be applied for in the Bill to allow inter est at four per cent. per annum on all calls, from the passing of the A ct to the o pe ni ng of the line.

London, September' 3, 1845. L YON S and AVIGNON RAILWAY (COMPAGNIE SEBASTIANI.) REPORT TO THE ENGLISH SUBSCRIBERS. GENTLEMEN,—WC regret our not being able to report that we have succeeded in our efforts to obtain for you the objects of our Associa tion ; our best energies have been devoted to the subject, but from the altered state of the circumstances which has now arisen, our Company, as at present constituted, is not in a position to compete for the Lease. At the time our Company was formed, it was understood that the Government would provide the land for the line and stations, and possibly would undertake the earthworks. The capital we then proposed, (60 millions of francs), was considered sufficient to provide all that the Company, under that state of circumstances, would have required ; but after much doubt and delay, the Government have at length daermined that their lessees shouli undertake the purchase of the land, as well as the entire construction and working of the Rail way. The pm has now passed the Chambers in that form, and has fixed the Capital at 80 millions (irrespective of the Grenoble Branch). Having, as we interpret our engagement to the Subscribers, neither power to undertake on their behalf the purchase of land, nor adequate funds for that larger purpose, we are under the necessity of announcing the dissolution of the present Subscription, and we have accordingly only !lather on this head to inform you, that we now hold the deposits subject to the order of the several Subscribers, and ready to be immediately returned in exchange for theletters of allot ment and banker's receipts. We would now invite your attention to the copy of the statutes, which have been framed and adopted for the regulation of a new Company for making and working the proposed line. You will observe, that it is mainly under the same direction, and in many respects of the same character as that which we originally proposed. The capital is necessarily larger, and the powers vested in those who have the conduct of the undertaking of a much more general charac ter. We desire to refer you in particular to articles 4-22-23-- 24-28--56. We are empowered to offer to each Shareholder in the former Company who shall, on or before the 20th of September next, and in the manner we are about to mention, declare his option to accept them, the same number of Shares in the new Company as he holds in the original Company, with or without one additional Share in respect of every five original Shares, and in order to facilitate the necessary arrangements, we have prepared such forms as will enable the Subscribers to express their wishes with convenience. Ci Th l e y ar are ready, and may be applied for at 62, Kin g William-street, e tween Eleven o'clock, A.M. and Three o'clock F.M. We beg to add,that in the e vent of receiving at this office no com inunication respecting any partic ular allotment or iginal Company on or before the 20th of Septet of Shares in the September next, the de posit thereon will be held subject to the order t e party Le till entitled th to , and it will be entir el y out of our power of to extend d e t t a bove-mentioned day the option which we have secured for the pre sent Proprietors to join the new Company. It is tight we should express our continued confidence in the merits of the undertaking, and our recommendation to the Sub scribers to renew their investments in the new Company.

By this line (in communication with other railways), Birnitughani„ Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Wakefield, Nottingham, Derby, Stafford, the Potteries, and other important manufacturing towns, will be placed in direct count.24n - with Hamburgh, Rotter dam, Antwerp, and the principal seaports of the north of Europe; between which places and Wainfieet the voyage will be several hours shorter than from either-Mull or Grimstiy, There is a good passenger traftle generally throughout the line., swelled by the large and numorous fairs; held at Lincoln, Horneastle., Spilsby, Partney, Bergh, and Wainfleet (for bosses, cattle, and sheep), and by the visitors to Skegness, one of the principal watering places on the Lincolnshire coast, tlte whole of which will be mate-. rially increased by railway aoecutmodation. The improvement of the extensive harbour of Wainfleet, and the forming thew a perfect shipping station for the -,,anufactur ing districts, is one of the important features in this r.ad.trtaking. This haven possesses natural roadsteads of a S',lperlor description. offering a safe anellorage tar shipping of any burthen, in 24 feet of water, at ebb tide, close to, the shore at Gibraltar Point. Any num ber of ships can ride safely at anchor ; and large fleets of merchant men freplently resort thither for safety. during the prevalence of northerly gales, an advantage inapertealy possessed by both Hall awl Grimsby; added to Which, a great saving will be effected In the Cus tom, dock, anci harbour duos, as well as In pilotage and insurance. No sea works of any magnitude will be required. The length of the proposed line will be about 40 miles, and the country does not present any engineering difficulties.

ENGINEER—CharIes Vignoles, Esq., M.R.I. t F•R•A•i. SOLICITOR—Thomas Redfern, Esq., Leek LONDON AGENT—Thomas Whalley, Bolton, Esq., 4, Elm-court, The principle of this important railway scheme is an extension of the North Staffordshire Railway, from Uttoxeter southward, through Burton-upon-Trent, by Swadlingcote, Gresley, and Moira, to Ashby de-la-Zouch, Market-Boswerth, and Hinckley, uniting, in the direc tion of Leicester, with the proposed Leicester and Bedford, and South Midland Railways, and south of Hinckley, with the Midland Railway at or near Miesthorpe. The main objects of the scheme are 1. To secure the best practicable direct line from London to Man chester and Liverpool. 2. To provide the best and most complete railway communication for the important mining, manufacturing, commercial, and landed in terests of the extensive district yet untraversed by railways, which lies between Uttoxeter on the north and Leicester on the south. The line of the proposed railway takes the most direct praticable route from Manchester to a point near Hinckley, from which it opens two communications with London—one by the Midland Railway to Rugby, and thence by the London and Birmingham Railway—the other by the Leicester and Bedford, or South Midland Railway, through Market Harborough to Pedford and Hitchin, and thence by the London and York Railway. Thus combining the advantage, never before attempted, of the most direct route, with the choice of two approaches to London—a result attained by the promotion rather than the sacrifice or injury of any existing railway interest. In this scheme the public interest has been the sole consideration, and it is confidently expected that public support will follow. In the adaptation of this scheme to the local interests of the dis trict, for the first time opened by it, the same principle has been the guide. It opens fairly and fully the great coal-fields of Moira, Swadling cote, and Swannington. It traverses the pottery districts of Swad lingeote,. Newhall, Gresley, and the neighbourhood; it provides most ample accommodation for the increased and rapidly-increasing trading'and manufacturing interests of Leicester and Burton-upon- Trent, and their neighbourhoods. It approaches as near as practi cable to every town in the district of Hinckley, Market-Bosworth, Ashby-de-la-Zouch (with its celebrated baths), Burton, and Tutbury. It interferes with no residential or ornamental property, and the support of many of the most influential landholders is already secured in its favour. The " Midland Union" also connects itself with the Leicester and Birmingham, and Boston, Stamford, and Birmingham Railways, and by this connexion opens the most direct and complete eastern and western communication yet projected. By means of the Boston, Stamford, and Birmingham Railway, and the various other Railways in East Anglia, an easy and direct communication is opened between Burton-upon-Trent, and the corn producing counties of Lincolnshire, Norlblk, and Suffolk. By means of the Coventry Branch of the Leicester and Birming ham Railway, and the direct access to Rugby, secured by the pro posed junction with the Midland Railway, the most advantageous op portunities are afforded to the Moira, Swadlingcote, and other Collieries of the district, for sending coals to Leamington, Warwick, and the _ Temple LOCAL PROFESSIONAL AGENT—It.

By means of the short diverging Line to the Trent Valley Railway, at Atherstone, the communication between Leicester and Tamworth is fully provided for. Upon a careful examination of the details of this scheme, to which public attention is earnestly invited, its advantages will be found to be such as not only to supersede the necessity of a direct indepen dent Line from London.to Manchester, but to secure to the important local interests of the district traversed by it more complete and be neficial accommodation than any direct and independent line could, by reason of its more extended objects and interests, afford to give.

The Directors of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, observ ing that, in the Advertisements of the Chelmsford and Bury Railway Company, it is stated that their particular line is supported and sanctioned by the Eastern Counties Railway Company, have to an nounce that no such support or sanction has been given. The Company's • engineer, Mr. Robert Stephenson, has been in structed to examine the entire district, and to advise upon the line of railway to be constructed through it, which the Eastern Counties Railway Company must sanction as most conducive to public inte rest. • • _ By order of the Board, A BULKELEY, Secretary. Offices, London Terrainus, Aug. 12, 1845. • The object of this undertaking is to effect the most direct and com prehensive line of communication, by means of existing and projected railways—the Manchester, Buxton, and Ambergate, the North Der byshire Union, and the Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland Junction Lines, between the Potteries, the iron districts of Staffordshire and Shropshire, Cheshire, North Wales, Holyhead, Sheffield, the Ports of Gainsborough, Grimsby and Hull, North Derbyshire, and the whole of the West Riding of the County of York. Independent of the thorough traffic, which will necessarily be con siderable, the local traffic is alone sufficient to justify the construc tion of this line, and the promoters feel themselves warranted in stating, that from a careful estimate of traffic on data accurately taken, a profit of at least ten per cent, will be realised, after deduct ing forty per cent. for working expenses. By this line of railway, the great quarries of limestone at Buxton and the neighbourhood (which have been proved to be the best for all purposes), will be thrown open to the Staffordshire and Shrop shire iron works (where 2,000,000 tons are consumed annually In the fluxion of iron), as well as to other parts, and no doubt will form a great source of profit to the Company. It will also open the shortest and best line for the conveyance of salt from the Cheshire salt works, and also of the Staffordshire and Shropshire pig iron, and pottery ware, to the ports of Gainsborough. Grimsby and null, and to Sheffield, and the manufacturing districts of Yorkshire. It also throWs open the great lead, copper, iron, and slate mines in North and South Wales. The extensive coal fields of Norton-in-the-Moors (about six miles frOm Leek), through which the line passes, and will thereby afford to Buxton and other places in Derbyshire, a cheap and abundant supply of excellent coal at a greatly reduced cost. In addition to the large mineral traffic which this line will possess. the conveyance of merchandise will form a source of considerable profit. Besides the general passenger traffic, there must in the sum mer months be a great accession of visitors from Ireland, North and South Wales, Chester, and the Staffordshire Potteries to Buxton. Bakewell, Chatsworth, Matlock, Dovedale, &c., to which places It has been proved that 90,000 persons annually resort for the benefit of their health, and on pleasure excursions. Companies have been fornied to make a line of railway from Shef field to Buxton, and Stoke-upon-Trent to Cre we, and Norton -bridge, to join the Grand Junction Railway, with each of whin Companies the Committee are in communication, and arrangements will be made with them so that the proposed ompany will only have to snake the connecting link between the two places, namely, from Buxton to. Stoke-upon-Trent, to complete the entire line. The distance to be made by this Company is nearly 22 miles; and the engineering character is such as to justify the promoters ill de claring the proposed capital amply sufficient for its construction, and for sudh mineral branches as the district may require. Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at 41. per cent per annum upon all depositse,and calls until the opening of the line_ The liability of Subscribers will of course be limited by the Act of Parliament to the amount of their respective shares. In the allotment of Shares a preference will be given to parties local} Interested ; and such applicants as have shares in the Man chester, Buxton. and Amber Gate, Manchester, Sheffield, and Mid land Junction, and Derby and Crewe Companies, are requested to state that circumstance in their applications, but none can be re ceived unless accompan:ed by a reference to some party of known respectability.
