This railway will commence at Sheerness in conjunction with a short steam-ferry communication from a point at or near to South end, on the opposite Essex coast, and will proceed from Sheerness by Queenborough to Faversham, where it will form a junction with one of the proposed lines from London by that town to Canterbury and Dover. The integral line will be continued from Faversham to or near to Herne Bay,; and from thence to the South-Eastern Extension Railway (now being made), at a point near Sarr, and will then pro ceed on that line direct to Ramsgate eastwards, and direct to Deal south-eastwards. From a point between Herne Bay and Sarr the line will also be carried by a short extens'on to Margate. By this project Margate will be placed within 75 miles of the me tropolis, instead of more than 100, as at present, and that, too, by a direct line through Faversham, at which place it will meet the Lon don lines. The important town of Ramsgate, now so extensively connected with continental communication, will also be thus afforded a much nearer overland route to London ; and Deal, Ramsgate, Margate, Herne Bay, Sheerness, Chatham, Rochester, Gravesend, Woolwich, Greenwich, and London, will all be placed in immediate or easy con nexion upon one continuous line of railway. By means also of this undertaking, in conjunction with the exist ing and projected railways proceeding to the south coast of Essex, the wigile of the passengers and traffic from Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Hull, York, and the Northern, the Midland, and the Eastern Counties, will be conveyed to Dover and the Conti nent via Sheerness, in preference to a lengthened and cir cuitous route through the metropolis, whereby the journey will be shortened more than 50 miles, travelling expenses will be curtailed, and the serious Inconvenience and delay of transhipment and con veyance from one part of London to another wholly avoided. A glance at the map also will show the immense advantage which the metropolis itself will enjoy by its being thus afforded other routes to the coast of Kent. The millions who annually seek pleasure in excursions to Gravesend, Sheerness, Southend, Herne Bay, Margate, Ramsgate, Deal, and Dover, will have a choice of different routes. They may proceed by railway, on the Essex aide of the Thames, to the Thames Haven, Tilbury Fort, or Southend—Pass over to Sheer ness by water, and thence proceed direct by this railway—or they may reach Sheerness wholly by water, and then avoid the sea—or, may pass at once from London, on the Surrey side of the Thames, to Sheerness, Herne Bay, Margate, and Ramsgate, by railway in a direct line, consuming only about two hours in the journey, and may vary their pleasure by going in one direction and returning by another. Independently of the vast multitudes who will thus seek health and recreation, the importance, as a national object, of connecting all the above-mentioned towns, and giving a direct line from Sheerness to Dover, together with the immense existing traffic in the direction of the undertaking, and the great increase which the improved and enlarged modes of communication throughout Kent will occasion, must be too apparent to need further observation; and the Commit tee, from careful inquiry, feel confidence in stating that no scheme of railway has yet been offered to public attention combining greater public and private advantages. About thirty-six miles of new railway only will embrace all the above important objects—viz., from Sheerness to Faversham ab0ut........ ...... • ..... ••••••••••• • • • • • • • • • • 12 miles. Faversham to Herne Bay •••••• • • • • • ...... ••• .. 10 The extension to Margate • . • The country has already been preliminary surveyed, and found to be exceedingly favourable. Indeed, it is almost a dead flat from Faversham to Margate. The landed proprietors are not only *willing but desirous that the undertaking should be accomplished, and it is at the request of many of them that the promoters have determined on prosecuting it. The Committee reserve the power of making branches to Canter bury and, to Deal, if circumstances should hereafter render it ad visable. The liability of the shareholders will be restricted 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.

This line has for its object a direct communication between the city of Lincoln and the populous and flourishing town of Sheffield, and will also be the means of forming a complete line from Yarmouth through Norwich to Manchester and Liverpool, thereby uniting the two great ports of Yarmouth and Liverpool, whose commerce is somewhat dissimilar, and, consequently, a reciprocal benefit must be the result. The distance from Lincoln to Sheffield by this line will be forty miles only, whereas the nearest route by any projected line at pre sent cannot be less than sixty miles, thereby saving a distance of twenty miles, as well as an enormous unnecessary expense. The immediate connexion between Yarmouth and Norwich, and all intermediate towns and cities, together with the whole of the manu facturing districts of Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Nottingham, and Lan cashire, will be highly beneficial. The line will commence - at Lincoln, at thejunction of the projected ra lway from Lynn Regis to Lincoln, and proceeded from thence across the country through East: Retford to Sheffield, and there join the Sheffield and Manchester Railway. Should the projected line from Macclesfield to ,Sheffield be carried into effect, it will then add another important commercial town to those already ad verted to, and increase the traffic to vast extent. A reference to the map will readily show the great importance and utility of such a line. A more than usual revenue may be calculated upon in the goods traffic from those great emporiums of commerce above alluded to, without taking into consideration the immense passeiver traffic which must necessarily arise upon so important a line of railway. Every regard will be paid to local accommodation, and a close scrutiny will convince those who are aware of the exigencies of the towns and districts embraced within the scope of the intended line, of the advantages which must accrue from it. Preference in the allotment of shares will be given to the land owners and others locally interested, as well as to the connecting Subscribers will be only liable to the extent of their deposits. Applications for shares to be made to Messrs. Miller and Carr, 47, Eastcheap ; and also to Messrs. Peppercorne and Co., 2, Old Broad street, London; and Messrs. Tate and Nash, and Messrs.

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 ines to Hounslow from London. Leaving Hounslow the line pro se eds through Whitton, Twickenham, Teddington, and Hampton, thengsto, and, crossing the Thames, joins the Kingston station of :30uth-Western Railway, whence it will proceed to, and terminate at, Epeem The towns and places through which the line passes, or most imme diately affects, contain an aggregate population of about 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, by coach or omnibus to West Drayton, and thence by the Great Western Railway. With 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 from London to Hounslow, which this will intersect, Brentford, the county-town of Middlesex, and the Thames, will be brought into immediate con ne.xion with Uxbridge ; the traffic between the last-md towns has hit the materially helped to produce the large dividends of the Grand JunctiOe Canal. By me;a;as also of this line, and the Croydon and Epsom line (now in course of construction), all the before-mentioned towns and places are likewise connseCted with Croydon. The importance of Connecting two such towns as Uxbridge and Brentford with Kingstoit• Croydon, and Epsom, three of the largest market-towns in Surrey, bet Ween which the presentA glance at the map is extensive, is too obvious to .'' judicious, but, in order to satisf y t,‘e requirements of the important will at once show that the c on: .. 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 theyeae t Western, Southampton, and Portszpouth Railways, and es t a blished 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 them access to the Great Western, 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 proposed 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 Hampton-Court in the summer months amounts to about 18,000 per week. he 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 severa3 others that are projected ; and the engineer re ports that it passes o ver a p articularly easy country, and will be capable on n f construction the itn e haya owners , q been seen, are favourable to the un dertaking. 18 miles. dertaking. , - eacle in the annexed form, to the The .itpp l l i e e n a g o t o h n offotrhshares line will mu s b t e h t.: solicitors 0f the Company, Blessrs.Welts,loalsworthy, and GaLsworthy, to whom also all communications from parties locally Interested should be addressed, at their offices, No. 19, Ely-place, olborn n-Tbames aclsoEt.o j t e h tn e ni fo e ll t zw E in eg gl „ oc K al h s tg o e li t c o i u to 4 r i a po ; F.

This Company is formed for making a railway from Liverpool to Derby, and will, in conjunction with the Manchester and Rugby Direct, and London and Birmingham Railways, form the nearest route from Liverpool to London. It will commence at Liverpool, and proceed along the Liverpool and Manchester Railway to within a short distance of the Whiston Inclined Plane, and thence branch off, in a south-easterly direction, through Warrington, Knutsford, and Congleton to Leek (there joining the Manchester and Rugby Rail way), and from thence through Ashbourne to Derby. The whole untTiehs,e distance a nd affo by afford a i t , complete witht he length of the proposed line will be about sixty-six miles. It will be seen by reference to the map that this important line of railway will form the shortest route fromllLiverpool to London, and effect a direct Ehain of communication between Liverpool and Derby, and will thence, by means of the Midlands and other railways, open an unin terrupted midland communication between the eastern and western parts of the kingdom and the importantintermediate manufacturing districts. The most important feature in this railway is that it forms the terrupted route o to m t L h i e ve m rp o o r o e l t eas o L te o saving of 22 miles ii s and Derby, the whole distance between Rugby, and London and Birmingham, will be only s m ho a r n t e es he t a r t o e a r d an fl d • 188 miles, whereas by the present route it is 210 miles, and by the Trentonelni nds V taa a is instance, regardsnand Railway% Liverpool 2noiiilo Liverpool and Derby will be reduced by this line to about 74 miles, thus decreasing the distance by any present existing railway, at least 46 miles; an adValliAge which carries in itself the conviction of the necessity there is for the proposed railway, in order to connect more are but the foci, as it were, for other railways from still more distant localities, as before adverted to. ,miles;i n the The distance also from Manchester to Leek (where the proposed immediately two such Important towns, railway will units with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) will be about 30 miles, and from Leek to Derby ab ou t 26 % vales, making the whole distance from Manchester to Derby only 56% miles ; and thus diminishing the distance by any present communi cation between those important towns by about 28 miles, an object most desirable to be attained, and of itself quite sufficient to recom mend a line of railway embracing such beneficial results. But great as these results most certainly will be, they are far out weighed by the very important consideration that, in conjunction with the Manchester an d Rugby Direct Rail y, it will also be the most direct route from Liverpool to London. The distance from Liverpool to Leek (the proposed point of junc tion with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) is 47% miles; from Leek to Rugby, accor ding to the line as proposed by the Man chester and Rugby Direct Railway, 58 miles, and from Rugby to London 83 miles; thus making the whole distance from Liverpool to London 188% miles, instead of 210, by the present route. With regard to the traffic and other details connected with the working of the line, it seems only necessary to revert to the great i m p o rtance of the towns proposed to be brought into communication with each other, in order to convince the minds of all that the source of revenue thus derived will be immense. There are no engineering difilcultice connected with the forming of the line. The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share holders beyond the deposit now paid until the Act of Parliament is obtained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 41. per cent interest on all calls.

The object of this undertaking is to supply railway communication to the towns and districts lying between the London and Birmingham and the Great Western Railways, giving them the best means of ac cess to the metropolis, and connecting them also with Birmingham and the north-west of England, with the eastern lines of railway, with Oxford and the south, and with Worcester and Wales. The main line will communicate from the London and Birming ham Railway, near Harrow, and, passing to :the north of (Jxbridge, will proceed up the Valley by Chalfont, near Araersham and Chesham, to Missenden and Wendover, and thence to Aylesbury, from which place it will extend to Buckingham, and, approaching Brackley, will terminate by a junction with the proposed Warwickshire and London Railway, near Banbury. has connexion with this part of the line, it is proposed to improve the communication between Aylesbury as 3 London by taking a direct line from Aylesbury to Tring. In addition to the line above described, it is intended also to con struct a railway from the station of the London and Birmingham Railway, at Bletchley, through Bicester, to Oxford. From Bletchlev to Bedford a railway is in course of construction by the Bedford and London and Birmingham Company, and from Bedford conasnunica• thins eastward are proposed. The proposed Buckingham and London and Birmingham Railway Company is amalgamated with this Company. Accurate surveys of the country have been taken by Mr. Robert Stephenson, and it has bean ascertained that no engineering difficu ty of importance presents itself. The undertaking has already received the sanction and support a very large proportion of the nobility, gentry, and proprietors land, through or near whose property it is Intended to pass. It is proposed that these lines should be made with the co-opera tion and under the direction and superintendence of the London and Birmingham Railway Company, under a lease in perpetuity, at four per cent. per annum onthe outlay, with au equal division of the sur plusprofits. It is intended to allot the shares to the holders of scrip in the London, Worcester, and South S . afforshire Railway Company in certain proportions, subject to the approbation of the Committee )1 Management, such shares as may be required for parties having locrl nterest being excepted.

It is also neces sary that the scrip should be called in and re-issued, and new Parlia mentary deeds executed. The shareholders in the South Midland Company are therefore re quired to pay, on or before the 25th day of October next, the further sum of 11. per share on the shares respectively held by them, and for this purpose to deposit with the Secretary, at the Company's officals, Leicester, the scrip now held by them, together with an application for registry and exchange in the annexed form, on or before the 18th day of October next.

All scrip in respect of which the shareholders shall fail to take the necessary steps for payment of the required deposit within the specified period will be forfeited. Furies of application for registry and exchange of scrip may be eb tabled by applying to the Secretary, at the Company's offices. GEORGE HUDSON, Chairman, G. N.

The Directors of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway Company, having completed the whole of their arrange ments, and having been compelled to refuse at least three-fourths of the applications for shares in their line, have had their attention forcibly and repeatedly called to the necessity of a direct communi cation between Salisbury and Swindon, the station on the Great Western Railway, by which the most direct and remunerative con nexion will be formed between Southampton and Manchester. The advantages, in point of speed, to be derived from the broad gauge, as also the superiority of the gradients obtained by the route of the Valley of the Avon, together with the importance of placing the city of Salisbury on the main trunk line from the north to South ampton, must insure to this undertaking the sanction of the Legis lature and the local support of the towns and districts through which the line will pass. Besides forming a direct communication with the great manufac turing towns in the north, the Salisbury and Swindon Extension will make a complete line of railway between Southampton, Salisbury, and all parts of North and South Wales. After most mature deliberation, the Directors have resolved to re commend to their shareholders and the public the immediate carry ing out or a railway to effect the above object, which will be most desirable as a completion to their own line, and highly advantageous in a pecuniary sense and on public grounds. They have directed all the necessary surveys to be made, so as to apply to Parliament in the ensuing session, at the same time as the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway, with a view to the ultimate amal gamation of both lines under one management. E In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to the holders of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway shares, as also to parties locally interested, due regard being at the same 7 4 time had to public interest; and every original shareholder in that 5 line may, on production of his scrip certificate, receive an allotment S' of a similar number of Salisbury and Swindon Extension shares. 6.1 The holders of Great Western, and of Wilts, Somerset, and Wey mouth shares, will also have a preference. Applications may be made, in the following form, to the Provisional Committee, at the Offices of the Company, 26, Gresham-street, the solicitors, the local agents, or to the principal brokers in tows and country, FORM OF APPLICATION.
