Commencing at Cambridge, which has now become the traffic centre of the Eastern Counties, by the line of railway intended to be med by that Company, this line will proceed to Bedford, there Tossing near Olney it will cross at or rear the Ellsworth Station of the London and Birmingham Railway, where it will communicate wi,l‘. the Northampton and Peterborough line; it will then proceed wee:- ward, crossing the Oxford and Rugby line at or near Fenny-Compton to Stratford-on-Avon, there joining the proposed lime from Warwick and Leamington to Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the West of England ; continuing its course through Alcestcr, 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 line (mei, 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 tocured for obtaining the line now proposed. Art arrangement has also been made with the proposed Rugby, Warwick, and Worcester Company, which this line will join at Al ceser, and by means of which the Eastern Counties' traffic will pro ceed. to Worcester.

This line of railway is proposed to commence at the city of Ox ford ; to pass through the towns of Thame, Princes Risborough, High Wycombe, 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 further 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 Mahloa, Colekester, 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 and agricultural traffic will be very great, as well as that of passengers. One very prominent advantage arising from the connexion with the London and Birmingham Railway, will be the ready and cheap upply of coal in a district where this essential article is at present exorbitantly dear; and, as the consumption in Oxford only must be very considerable, the carriage of it will prove an extensive source of profit to the line. Uxbridge is the largest corn market in England ; and the com municating medium with that town and the agricultural districts of Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, and the surrounding counties, must 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-upon- Thames, Dorking, Reigate, Brighton, and Dover; and, indeed, with 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 from 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 Oxford to Glouces. ter and Worcester, and of all other lines westward of Oxford, not only towards the metropolis, hut to the whole of the country and various railways to which it forms a communication. Oxford, celebrated as a large and splendid city, and more espe cially es being the seat of one of our principal Universities, and con taining about 25,000 inhabitants, should undoubtedly be furnished ss ith a good railway commun'eation, 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 FAX miles distance from the site of the proposed railway, about 180,000 inhabitants, who are yet, for the most part, unaccommodated with the advantages of a railway. This tract of country, being chiefly of an agricultural character, highly cultivated and :produc tive, a ready and cheap conveyance to Oxford and other market towns in the immediate vicinity will be found very desirable. There are no peculiar difficulties presented to engineering con strucZions 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 not 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 Heighten Wilkins, Esq.

The object of this railway is to afford to the inhabitants residing within a circle of about ten urles south of the Thames the mears of a safe, frequent, and speedy communication with the heart of the City. It is proposed to have a central terminus in Queen-street, Cheap side, with a direct line of railway over Southwark -bridge to the Ele phant and Castle, and thence by radiating branches to accommodate the localities of Kennington, Brixton, Streatham, Croydon, Clap ham, Balham, Tooting, Mitcham, Walworth, Ctunberwell, Peckham, Dulwich, Norwood, the Kent-road, Deptford, Greenwich, Black heath, Charlton, Woolwich, Wandsworth, Putney, Mortlake, and Richmon ', completing the chain of communication with the South- Western at Wandsworth, and with the London and Brighton and South-Eastent Line at Croydon. It is needless to point out in this preliminary announcement the enormous passenger traffic which may be expected on this railway, when it is considered that the portion of the suburbs to which ac commodation is to be alibi dell contain a population of between seven and eight hundred thousand persons, requiring daily inter course with the'City. As this this will be constructed upon the atmospheric principle, and the present public roads will he adopted as far as practicable, the cost will not ikar comparison with that of railways in general, and it is estimated that it will p'v to the shareholders of the under taking a remunerating profit o( not less than 10 per cent., even reckoning the conveyance of passengers at the low rates of from 3d. to 6d. for the whole, or any part of the distance, to say nothing of the enm mous traffic in parcels and goods. A detailed prospectus, with tho names of a very influential Com mittee, and other officers, will appear in a few days.

SOLICITORS--Messrs. Watts, Galsworthy, and Galsworthy, 19, Ely place. SECRETARY (pro tem)—W. Marrs, Esq. This railway is proposed to commence at Uxbridge, proceeding thence to the Southall station of the Great Western Railway, and then through Heston to Hounslow, there meeting one of the proposed lines to Hounslow from London. Leaving Hounslow the line pro ceeds through Whitton, Twickenham, Teddington, and Hampton, to Kingston, and, crossing the Thames, joins the Kingston station of the South-Western Railway, whence it will proceed to, Axel terminate at ,Epsom. The towns and places through which the line passes, or most imme diately affects, contain an aggregate population of , abont 200,000 persons. To the inhabitants of the important town of Uxbridge, this line presents the most direct communication with the metropolis, adopt ing the old course taken by the coaches, viz., through Hillingdon, Hayes, Southall, &c., contrasting favourably with the present cir cuitous route to London,lby coach or omnib us to West Drayton, and thence by the Great Western Railway. W ith the present limited railway accommodation, the corn returns of Uxbridge show an in crease of 30 per cent. upon the average of the last two years. The weekly market at Southall is second in importance to Smith field, and it is attended by the graziers and butchers from all parts of the neighbouring country and the metropolis. By means of this line, and one of the proposed lines fkom London to Hounslow, which this will intersect, Brentford, the county-town of Middlesex, and the Thames, will be brought into immediate con nexion with 'Uxbridge ; the traffic between the last-named towns has hitherto materially helped to produce the large dividends of the Grand Junction Canal. By means also of this line, and the Croydon and Epsom line (now in course of construction), all the before-mentioned towns and places are likewise connected with Croydon. The importance of connecting two such towns as Uxbridge and Brentford with Kingston, Croydon, and Epsom, three of the largest market-towns in Surrey, betwecOvhich the present agricultural traffic is extensive, is too obvious to require comment. A glance at the map will at once show that the communication now proposed is not only judicious, but, in order to 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 he 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 th kingdom, avo iding the loss of time and great inconvenien ce of go i ng round by the metropolis. So also as to Brentford, Hounslow, King ston, and Epsom—it will afford to them access to the Great Wester n , London and Birmingham, and Northern and Eastern lines ; and by this line. in connexion with one proposed to Hounslow from the me tropolis, and the other prcposeil and established lines north and south of it, easy access will be afforded to Hampton-court, Epsom, and other favourite places of resort. There can be no doubt, therefore, that the passenger traffic alone will be sufficient to pay a very large dividend on the outlay. The average number of persons visiting Ham pton -court in the summer months amounts to about 18,000 per week. The supply by 'the county of Kent and western division of Middle sex of the north and north-western markets with fruit during the season, would, by this line, be immensely increased, and form another source of income to the Company. This undertaking presents the additional and important advantage of competing with no line at present established ; on the contrary, it will be the means of connecting and feeding the several lines enu merated, and several others that are projected ; and the engineer reports that it passes over a particularly ea s y country, and will be capable of construct ion at about 11,000/, per mile ; and the land owners on the line who have been seen, are favourable to the tut &staking. The length of the line will be about 18 miles. Application for shares must be made in the annexed form, to the solicitors of the Company, Messrs. Watts,' G alsworthy, and Galsworthy, to whom also all communications from partieslocally interested should be addressed , a t their offices, No. 19, Ely-pl ace, H o lb orn ; also to the following local solicitors, Henry Norton, Esq., Uxbridge ; C.

A. Flint, Esq. BANKERS—Messrs. Rogers, Olding, and Co. Loose AGENT —R. H. Tarleton, Esq., Birmingham. The title of this line sufliciently 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 Coldfleld, 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 Tean station on Remington's London and Manchester lino 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 ea 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 Bir mingham. It - will also furnish a nearer and more direct route from Birming 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 a:so 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. For prospectuses, shares, and every information, apply to the solicitors, W. Arnold Bainbrigge, Esq., Uttoxeter ; or at the Offices of the Company, No. 1, Moorgate, London. BROKERS. Mears. B. and M.

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

No applications will receive any attention unless accompanied by a reference to some person of well known respectability. All such references will be strictly investigated. To the Provisional Committee of the Tring and Reigate Railway. Gentlemen, —I request you will allot to me shares of 251. each in the above-named Company, and I hereby agree to take all such shares, or se many as may be allotted to me, and to lay the deposit thereon, and to execute the necessary deeds when required.

The object of this line is to complete the only link wanting in t' chain of railway communication between the ports of Hastint Rye, Ilythe, Folkestone, Sandwich, Dover, Ramsgate, Margate, a. Deal. The railway already existing between Dover and Folkestone, a those sow forming by the South-Eastern Company in Kent, Suss. and the Isle of Thanct, and between the latter place and Deal, le« a short distance of nine miles devoid of railway, which this Compa proposes to supply. Taken, however, in connexion with the propot Kent and Essex Union, and Dover, Hastings, and Brighton Juncth it will p.rfect the entire coast line from the mouth of the Medway Pools. The inhabitants of Hastings, Eye, Folkestone, Sandwich, Dov. I Deal, Ramszate, and Margate, apart from the very advantages• extension embraced by the above two schemes, will, by means of t 7 line, enjoy the benefits of a speedy, cheap, and direct intercourse w each other, in powerful contrast to the present broken and tedik - route by land, or the unpleasant and lengthy sea-voyage round 1 North and South Forelands. It is anticipated that, beside the above advantages, Increased I , petus will be given to the trade of those places by thus intimate connecting their respective interests.

The Directors have for some time past been in direct commun; lien with the Belgian Government, and they have entered in• preliminary arrangement, under date of the 27th of September, 11 with the Minister of public Works, by which the Minister grant. • them the preference for the concession of a railway, to be called ' • "Grand Junction," and engages to conclude with the Directory provisional contract, previously to submitting the " Projet de for royal approbation, and also to apply for the sanction of the Let lature. The valuable and important ironworks of Couvin will also, um the same agreement, be ceded to the Company, The Belgian Grand Junction Railway will directly connect ts provinces of Brabant, Haintsult, Liege, Limbourg, and Namur, w each other, and with the Government lines of railway, as also w • the several lines of Liege and Namur, Landen and Hasselt, Louv. and Jemeppe, Sambre and Meuse, and the Great Luxembourg Mons. Marchal, the eminent Belgian engineer, has carefally sr veyed the line, and has deposited the necessary plans, sections, estimates with the Belgian Government. Mr. James Thomson, one of the Company's engineers, has al', gone over the line, and reports most favourably upon the pecul facilities for the construction of the railway, and the entire absen • of all engineering difficulties. • The Chairman and two of the Directors have carefully travers the whole of the line, and have received the most positive east antes of support from the local authorities and landed proprietors. The provinces which the railway will unite were found by t census of 1844 to comprise a population of 2,188,551, and the di tricts which it will traverse are situated in the heart of Belgiur mid comprise an area of 165 square miles. The entire length of tl. Belgian Grand Junction Railway will be 102 English miles. This portion of the country is emphatically termed the Granary Belgium, and, in addition to its vast agricultural produce, is rich ironstone, lead, marble, stone, and slate quarries. It has also nun' roux distilleries, extensive breweries, ironworks, and large manufe tories of porcelain, glass, paper, Beetroot, sugar, gunpowder, The great coal-fields of Charleroi and Liege, which are the most c tensive in Belgium, will, by means of this line, be enabled to sup! all parts of the kingdom at a very reduced rate. The Government lines already completed, as well as the seve private lines now in course of construction, will necessarily be feeders to the Grand Junction lino, as it will unite with the whoh them, and will traverse a district destitute of all water communi tion, and very imperfectly w hilst the invaria rule of the Belaian Government supplied mentn with otto roals ; permit any competing lir must necessarily ensure to this Company the entire traffic of country through which this line will pass. upon the improbable been carefully' rind accurately- prepaciTed;sea Tables, calculat si with reference to the . pr n e d s , ent amount of traffic, h: when the Grand Junet as incases, and more pa Railway is constructed, the share all sumption that there w eventhen mem' In holders would • ill be no d facilities of communication have b. cularly in Belgium, increase • Wed by a great increase of large interest on their capital. But, traffic, there can be no do accompanied that the Grand Junction dividend to the shareholders. The expense of construction, and the subsequent expenses of we log the line, arc very much less than in English railways ; and i an important feature that the enormous outlay incident to a Parl mentary contest in England is avoided. A considerable saving will also be effected in the cost of iron, of the locomotive engines and traffic material, which will be manut tured at the Couvin works; and tl'e Company have, therefore, • peculiar advantage of being independent of a supply from any of quarter, and free from the delay and disappointment consequent u, • the present increased demand. The grant will be for ninety years, and the Act will provide t ' the railway shall, for the whole term, be exempt from all rates charges whatsoever, whether local or national. By the law of Belgium, this Company will be constituter: Societe Auonyme, and the liability of each shareholder will limited to the amount of his respective shares. A second payment of 2/. per share will be required one month a the Concession shall have been ratified by the Directors, and . subsequent calls will be made at such periods as the Directors I determine. An accountable receipt will be given to each subscriber on paym ed for certitleate of his deposit, which rec ei p t must be exch within ang s n wasiy, twenty-one days a shares, at the office o f the Co requiring such exelnui the first appearance of an advertisement suc h advertisement the to be inser ted once n London Gazette, t w o daily Morning London newspapers. three times in each ci f ' t '1 h with this condition w i al on t e subscriber non-compliance forfeiture of his deposits. w ill be given by advertisement in the London , N o tice of calls zette, and two daily Mor nin g London newspapers; and if any cal' any share shall rem ain unpaid for twenty-one days after the na med, the share shall become absolutely forfeited. Interest at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum will be paid u' the amount of capital paid up, such interest to b calculated from time of obtaining the Act of the Legislature until the opening the line. All points of detail will, under the terms of the Convention Act, be settled between the Belgian Government and the Directs and it is one of the conditions on which the shares will be aPI tioned and accepted, that the subscribers confide to the Directors power to make such arrangement with the Belgian Government \ respect to any alterations or modifications of the line, and of terms of the grant, as they may think expedient for the furthers of the interests of the Company.
