Little, Esq . and Tucker ----- Cornwall has long been struggling to procure the benefits of rail way communication, but divisions amongst its friends have for several successive years prevented any scheme from being carried out. BodAtmlienn,glphr,esoindedthoeve2rOthbyAtugshe li t ilgasht,sahteriaff,fulitl cowasUntyunmateieintlinougsavt resolved :—" That the general interests of the county of Cornwall, as well as of the public at large, absolutely require that no trunk line should be sanctioned through the county which does not afford the most direct, central, safe, and continuous railway communication from Falmouth and Penzance to London." This decision, in con junction with the appearance of the scheme of the North Devon Company, has appeared to the promoters of the Great Western and Falmouth Junction railway, to present a favourable opportunity for bringing before the public a Central Line, on the broad guage, which, by the combination of four powerful companies, is now, it may be said, brought almost to the boarders of Cornwall. The Great Western railway, already open to Exeter, is now being extended to Cre.aton, and from thence the North Devon Company intend to construct a main line to join their north and south Devon line, in the neighbourhood of Ilatherleigh, thirty miles directly west from Exeter, and about seventy miles from Falmouth. The Great Westerns and Falmouth Junction Railway will corn menc( near Hatherleigh, and will be about seventy miles in length, and form a direct extension of the line from Crediton to that place, proposed by the North Devon Company, and will thence proceed by Launces• on, Bodmin, and Truro to Falmouth; and in order to pre serve the old line of communication from Cornwall to Plymouth, ad mitted to be of great local importance, a branch will run from the main line near Bodmin, through or near Liskeard, to join the South Devon and Tavistock Railway, near Plymouth. By means of this railway, and. the North Devon, Credidto and Exeter, Bristol and Exeter, and Great Western Railways, there will be a direct and unbi oken line on the broad gauge :from Falmouth through Exeter, to London, on the one hand, and to Plymouth and the South Coast on the other; and it will also be connected with the railways and canals already existing in Cornwall, and, by branches, with all the most important towns in that county and the North of Devon. It is also intend. d that the line shall be the best in engineer ing qualities which the natural formation of the country will allow, land that the formidable difficultie s, which induced the Board of Trade to report to Parliament against the late Cornwall and Devon Central line, shall be avoided. This scheme has a decided advantage of er any other at present ifioposed for giving to Cornwall the benefits of railway c anunica lion, and is the only line which can with certainty effect the object to which the county became pledged, by the resolution of the 20th of August last—no other line affords " direct, central, safe and con tinuous railway communication from Falmouth and Penzance to London." The Cornwall and Devon Central Railway will not en sure a continuous line from Falmouth to London, until three other independent Companies shall have succeeded in obtaining their Bills ; and these projected lines have also to contend against the op position of through and integral lines from London to Exeter. The %' est of England below Exeter, is obviously the country -of the broad gauge, and there is no probability that Parliament will sanction the introduction of any other gauge into that district, which would be productive of endless confusion and inconvenience. With the South Devon line on the one hand, the projected North Devon line on the other, the Exeter and Crediton and its projected extension westward tollatherleigh, and the West Cornwall line from Truro to Penzance, all on the broad gauge, and all projected or supported by the Great Western, and its associated Companies—there can be little doubt that no narrow gauge line will be permitted to run parallel with those already sanctioned by the legislature, or proposed for the further accommodation of the country by such influential companies. In order fully to comply with the expressed wishes of the county of Cornwall and to secure that " direct, central, sate, and continuous railway communication" so much required, the present line has been projected, and will, when completed, form the Central link of the great series of lines already under the direction of the Great Western, and the other associated Companies. It is therefore confidently presumed that no other scheme for connecting Cornwall and West Devon with the Metropolis, and the North of England, can compete with the present line with any probability of success, presenting as this line does the prominent points of national and local advantage, and possessing all the elements essential to command the favourable consideration of Parliament. As a work of national importance, it has been long admitted that a line o f railway to the important Port of Falmouth must be carried out ; the promoters of this railway do not, therefore, think it neces sary to repeat the here the highly satisfactory results of the traffic over the line, which were long since ascertained. It is sufficient to say, they prove an ample return on the capital to be invested. The survey is in progress, and will be completed in time to apply to Parliament in the ensuing Session ; and the promoters having already received highly satisfactory assurances of support, as well local as general, feel justified in expressing their conviction that their appli cation will be crowned with success. The capital will be divided into 50,000 shares of 251. each, upon which a deposit of 21. 12s. 6d. per share must be paid upon the allot ment. Power will be taken ta pay interest on the deposit, and all calls till the line is opened ; and no subscriber will be liable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. Preference will be given, in the allotment, to landowners, to local applicants, and to parties holding shares in the Great Western, Bristol and Exeter, Exeter and Creditou, North Devon, and West Cornwall Railways. Applications for shares, in the form annexed, to be addressed to the Solicitors of the Company ; or to any respectable brokers in town or country. 68, Old Broad-street, London, Ist Oct. 1845.

Weston The great objects of this company are twofold. The first is to esta blish the most direct line of railway communication between all th midland and southern and northern counties of England ; and also with Scotland, by a short junction line of about 22 miles in length from the North Union Railway, at or near Parkside,-to ,a point on the Manchester and Birmingham Railway, at or near Prestbury, and thence to Macclesfield, there uniting with some one or snore of such of the .iniciermeetioned proposed lines, to or near that place, as may he sanctioned by Parliament„and effect a junction with the Trent Val; ley, Lonifon and Birmingliam, and Midland Counties Railways Birmingham and Manchester Direct Railway Chiwnet and Blyth, or Macclesfield and Lichfield Junction 'Railway • Tean and Doye Valley North Staffordshire London and Manchester Direct (Remington's and Rastrick's • Amalgamated) North Cheshire Smiths Union Rugby, Derby, and stanchetter Manchester itha Ittigt4 Ditect Direct Sheffield and Macelesfleld. A continuous line of railway communication will thus be fortieth from ,w.ii iirbli.ethannitolii dad the Pettetiesi th Carlisle; cr i f ' ro t n i t i t i lit t' t ts pl o a t ee, Y i b e y eiW the °tl e n e ti llio t n a i l it l n e Va i e fif ; i, to Edinburgh and Glasgow, and all the important cities and towns in Scotland, thus establishing the inost Minot:taut and Uninter rupted, and at the Sante tithe the shortest and most expeditiouS Null ef commtinteation between the metropolis of England and that of Scotland, and all the intermediate places. In conjunction smith the pi oposed line from Sheffield to Macclesfield, the most direct commu nication between Liverpool and Sheffield will be effected. The second object of this Company is by the proposed branch to Warrington, there Uniting with the contemplated line of the Grand Junction Railway Company from that place to the Liverpool and and Manchester Railway, at Huyton, to effect the shortest find most convenient lino of communication between Macclesfield, Warrington, and Lt•Verpool, • When it is considered that Macclesfield and its environs, with a population of 50,000, must become so important a centre of railway communication from the midland, western, and southern counties of England, and that there is not at present any direct railway from thenee, connecting it with all the important manufacturing, coal, and other mineral districts, in the direct line to Scotland, and that this line would meet the existing deficiency, and form the most di . - rect. route, by effecting a sa vin g of sixteen mileS in the distance from Macclesfield to Parkside and • also to Warrington, over any esta blished or proposed line in a northern direction—the de,sireableness of this project, in a na tonal point ef view, must, it is presumed, be ad mitted ; and that it will form an important trunk line of cornmuni e,ation, over which a larger amount of passenger traffic, agricultural, mineral, and the manufacturing produce would pass, than any other line of the same length in the -kingdom, The advantage which this project offers to the public will be aufaciently appaFent, without fur ther comment. - The WWII Of tub sharsillelda will be restrictd V+ the 641110U11t ~~ -> 1 P V EIt tor.d DEAL RAILWAY, ~—,;(1 elvw.-, , wi z; • .4 i CRT% THANET, and COAST JU4CTION. %Inn.), new• 4„, ISC,OOOg., l tred, pursuant to 7 and 8 Victoria, 'AP- 110 .)

This undertaking is designed to supply the wants of an eaten die mineral and populous district, the local traffic of which alone i s as linitted to be sufficient to support a railway, and amply re musse.rate the shareholders. The line will not only accomplish so d es kable an object, but it alsopossesses the advantage of forming a direct c, ammunication, by the shortest possible route (in connexion with existr,lfl and projected railways), between two of the most important divisions of the kingdom. It is intended to commence by joining the Grand Junction Railway at Staffs. rd, and proceed by the Uttoxeter, Rochester, and Ashbou' ne, to a junction with the Midland Railway, the Man_ chester, Buxton, Mat.lock, and Midland Railway, and the Amber gate, Nottingham, Boston, and Eastern Junction Railway, at the General Terminus at Ars'ner-gate ; a short branch from Wirks. e with that town, and the important worth will connect the B. limestone ond mineral distrit. t connected with it. The line will its connection with the Midland and Crewe Railway at Uf. be about forty miles long, and tile route from Sheffield, York, Railway at Amber-gate, and the .Derby toxeter,l will be the nearest practica districts of Yorkshire and Leeds, Hull, the populous manufactut:ing t land, to the salt districts of the north and north eastern part of En orth Wales, and by its Cheshire, the Potteries, Liverpool and • , ,ion Railway, will be junction at Stafford with the Shrop shire D. the nearest route from those important district :s to Shrewsbury and South Wales, and by the Grand Junctio n Railway, to the densely populated districts or South Staffordshire. The district is destitute of water communicatiL n n and it la resources of only necessary to advert to a few of the prominent , the count's , to show the magnitude of the local traffic. bola g sable The price of coals on all p arts of the tine is very carted a distance of 10 to 15 miles. The cost of this indispo: article of consumption will be reduced nearly one•half, and This line will immediately communicate with the Derbyshire and Stat. fordshire coal-fields. The line will pass several valuable quarries of Derbyshire marble which is extensively used in all parts of the kingdom ; and also numerous lead -smelting works and rolling mills, producing large quantities of pig and sheet lead. It will affbrd an inexhaustible supply of lime for the highly cultivated land on the banks of the Dove and Southward. It will-open the Derbyshire mines to the Copper and Zinc Smelting Works in the neighbourhood of Cheadle, and will afford a direct communication with Sheffield for the articles manu'actured at those works, which at present are carted to Derby, a di • tance of more than twenty miles. Already a large cattle traffic exists with the north, which will unquestionably be greatly augmented by the facilities of this rail way, large importations of Scotch and Yorkshire cattle will be brought for fattening on the luxuriant pastures of the Dove, talc. ing in return to the markets of the manufacturing towns, the corn, cheese, wool, and other produce of the extensive and fertile agri. cultural district which surrounds the Staffordshire terminus of this railway. It will bring the already large cheese and cattle fairs of Uttoxeter and Ashbourne into greater importance. The iron furnaces of South Staffordshire consume annually nearly a million tons of limestone. It is well known that the iron masters give a decided preference to the limestone of the s outh heery . great fusibility of this stone rendering it peculia rl y . 1 flux for reducing the stubb orn iron ores of South Staffordshire, and su;athbee m Peak, ever any other th at has hitherto been tried it means of transit were it not for the dilatory and expe n sivee.cl usion of all • ether it would now be used to the tota at the most so uthern extremity, of its entering the limestone range kindi. The proximity e immediately on the line and the advantage of excavating the ston e to it a very large share of that enormous of rails, cannot not ensure , h of this railway to the iron district, the fact traffic, if it do not engross the w o e. Peak When this line- and the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, merous. Railway open this romantic scenery to the and Midland Junction The visitors to Dovedale and the are already very no - I ' nduser i ous a rtisans who c hiefl y com p ose the great hives of popu lation with which this railway will communicate, and make it easily accessible to this class of persons at a trifling sacrifice both of time and money, the revenue from this source alone during the summer months will be found to be of no inconsiderable amount. Al • The projectors fe. convinced that this railway contains the ele ments of great prosperity, and that as an investment it offers more than ordinary security. The lai.downers on the line are favourable to this undertaking , and the names of many influattial proprietors will be found on the Provisional Committee. Arrangements have been made with the Derby and Crewe Rail. way Company, who take a portion o f the capital, and gi te line their support and co-operation. The Committee of Management are fortunate in having sengineer, e cured the valuable services o f Mr. Lecke, as consulti ng tuisur eJ the nets , and of Mr. Meeke, as reside nt engineer, who have . for app mittee that the plans and s urve y s will be ready application to Parliament the next session.

The object of this company is to effect a direct communication, by railway, between Tunbridge Wells and Hastings, and also between Tunbridge Wells and Brighton. The Hastings line (about twenty-two miles in length) will com mence at Tunbridge Wells, and run near Frant, Wadhurst, Lamberhurst, Etchingham, Hurst Green, Robertsbridge. Whetting ton, and Battle, having its terminus at the extremity of Hastings. The Brighton line (about twenty. two miles in length) will com mence at Tunbridge Wells, and take a direct course to Brighton, passing near Mayfield, Rotherfield, Uckfield, Little Horsted. and Lewes, where it will form a junction with the line, which is nearly completed, between Lewes and Brighton. The numerous visitors and inhabitants of the fashionable watering-places of Tunbridge Wells, Brighton, and Hastings, will thus not merely enjoy the means of rapid communication with each other by railway —an advantage which ought to have been supplied to them before this—but will also have, respectively, when the proposed line from London to Tunbridge is formed, a continued and direct railway to the metropolis. The area embraced within these lines of railway is justly re.. ruarkable for the variety and value of its agricultural produce, being one of the most extensive hop-districts in England, and not inferior in general fertility to any part of the kingdom ; and when it is considered that the metropolis is- the principal, indeed, it may almost be said, the exclusive market for its productions, the profits arising from the conveyance of those productions alone must form (independent of passenger traffic) a very large source of revenue to the shareholders. Even from the already developed resources of the extensive, wealthy, and populous districts through which the Company's lines will run, the most encouraging estimate of results may be justly entertained; and when the Hastings Dock and Harbour Company (which has already been provisionally registered) shall have carried into effect the proposed improvements, the line from that town to Tunbridge Wells must become one of the most profitable in Eng. land, as it will then be the great highway of continental tourists. The route from London to Paris, by Hastings and Dieppe, is de. cidedly the most direct, as well as the most interesting, which a glance at the map of Europe will satisfactorily show. . To the town of Hastings and St. Leonard's, the greatest advan tage,' must accrue from the establishment of a railway, bringing t h em o vithin two hours of the metropolis, and, through it, by the great thee of which it is the focus, connecting them with every portion of the country.

The existing traffic in passengers and goods , (which must be ma t e rially increased by the establishment of railway.) are too well known to require a detailed statement in this prospectus, and cannot fail to secure ,to the shareholders a large interest on the capital invested.' 's - ~. ~, A preliminary survey of the country has be en made, a nd De part of it has beed found to offer engineering difficulties of more than ordinary character. The liability of the shareholders will be limited to the a smount of their subscriptions, and, in th e allotment of . sh i a m re e s s: • a nd other ence will be given to landowners on the respective prefer parties locally interested.

' -* The imvortance of connecting remote parts of England by rai, ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns and districts, can scarcely be better exempld than by the line which is now proposed to form a short and direct channel of inter course between Oxford and Salisbury. Numerous projected- lines now before the purls will make Oxford at the north, and SaliAbury north, andof at the south o f the intended railroad, the central points from which various radii will dii-erge to the north -west the f o rmer, and to the se uth and west , of the latter • andsorth the proposed line ' front the no rth-eastern parts m C a mbridge ti Oxford, con t inuing to that city the of the island. requires tieurse r ailw suggested to effect a conspiete means of transit to of ay su the appliattee now the western and reldtb-Western counties. eelisbviry Direct Railway, in addition to The Oxford and the benefits which wi ll i'e Conferred upon a dired le of commurf cation ba the nation at larger by pertbeting flieen the north-eastern and western and south-western pa i n Of tngland, will afford to the boreueh of Abingdon, thusmarket Wens of Wantage, liungerford, And Ludgershall, and An important railway accenamodation, of which the adjacent villaaeg, the•tgiletfitural drStricts in which they are seated silted in much need, atici will provide a facility for the interchange of produce be commercial population of the tween the rural, Manufacturing, and kingdom. Thep rojected line will bring the Cathedral City of hails bury into immediate conneXion with, the City and University of direct communication Oxford, combining also the advantage. of a with the sister University of Cambridge ; thus strengthening the ecsiastical and academical relations of the whole, whilst the com- mcleial prosp er ity of the two terminal cities must of necessity be erc essentially enhanced. The want of railway accommodation has .long been felt to press enfairly up the inhabitants of the important and thriving town of Abingdon. Their means and epportnnities of competing with the more fortunate traders of those towns which are already provided with di rect channels of transit, are thus severely crippled. The same remark applies in some degree to the market town of Wantage, which, as well as Tfungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits and Advantages produced by railway traffic. It has therefore been determined to commence the proposed line at Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdon to the station of the Great Western Railway at Steventnn, thus giving to Abingdon a direct rail road to London. By continuing the projected railway to IVantage, the same facility of transit to London will be afforded to thir...t place; and a perfect line of road from the north-eastern counties w, by a junc tion with the projection from Cambridge to Oxford, be produced, through the towns which have been named, liungerford anal Ludgers ba, to Salisbury, and tlleace pp the south and western Po ol a dis tricts. .

The establishment of the above railway will effect two great of the metropolis and its and important objects :—first, the supp .lY vicinity with coal fully twenty per cent. cheaper than by the pre. sent mode of transit: secondly , by t he exclusion of passenger traffic to diminish the risk of accidents. The Board of Trade, in reference to the latter, have in their report upon the subject, laid great stress on the importance of separating' the passenger from goods trains ; and the Select Committee on the Coal Trade recommend that every means of promoting A new supply of coal should be encouraged. The existing lined from the north being already crowded to excess with trains of every class, travelling at velocities varying from fifteen to fifty miles per hour, and new railways being almost daily projected as feeders to the great trunk tines, the already prodigious traffic on those lines must be still further augmented; so that it may be truly assumed, that the addition thereto of several millions of tons of coals and goods is out of the question. It, therefore, becomes manifestly necessary, with a view to public convenience, and to supply the metropolis and the interinedlzte districts with coals from the coal fields in the north (from which At present the greater proportion is supplied) that an independent I:ailwaY, devoted exclusively to the conveyance of coals and goods at a moderate and regular speed, should be constructed from Newcas:le to London. It is, therefore, intended to confine this railway ti.' carriage of coals and goods only ; and it is ascertained that the conveyance by railway of large quantities, for long distances, at a moderate speed, and at comparatively low rates, will be as profitable as the carriage of passengers at a greater velocity, The actual ex perience of the London and Birmingham Railway affords a safe ground for calculation; the expenses on that line for the year 1844 being 1,472/. p mile; at the same rateper mile, 2,000,000 tens of coal annually may be a rought the entire distance horn Newcastle; this quantity is about one-half of the present importation from London, making on the average from 13,000 to 14,000 tons daily. The extreme fluctuations to which the price of coal is subject from irregularity in the supply, dependent as it is on the uncer tainty of the winds and weather, has hitherto operated against the establishment of manufactories on the banks of the Thames. From the same cause, also, London has, at times narrowly escaped total darkness, the gas works not being able to obtain their regular supply of coals. In the course of the last five years the prices of household coal, on the Coal Exchange, have fluctuated between 14s. 6d. to 275. per ton, and last winter the price rose even to 555. per ton ; the high prices always occurring at a season when the scarcity, and consequently increased price of coal, is most distress ing to the poor. The removal of the colliers from the Pool is an important con sideration, as it will necessarily render the navigation of the Thames safer for all other vessels : and it is no valid objection to this undertaking, that it will supersede, in a great measure the employment of collier ships, because it is now ascertained, be yond all doubt, that coals can be brought to London by railway at 20 per cent less than those sea.borne ; and, therefore, London will ba supplied from Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and South Wales, unless the present project, or one offering equal advantages to the northern coal.owners, in their certain and fast approaching competition with the Infant collieries, be carried into effect. In addition to the through traffic, accommodation will be afforded to the intermediate districts for the conveyance of coals and goods, which will materially increase the revenue of the Company. The estimated cost of the line is 5,000,0001, and the traffic, in coals alone, will give a net return of 10 per cent. It is proposed to raise the required capital in 200,000 shares of 251. each ; deposit 21. 12s. 6d. per share, the subsequent calls to be made in the usual way. The customary clauses will be inserted in the Act, limiting the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their respective shares. Interest, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum will be allowed on all calls between the passing of the Act and the opening of tha railway, Prospectuses, with fuller information and in detail, together with Forms of Application, may be obtained on applying to the Solicitors of the Company, Messrs.

The Committee of Management, with the view of enabling re sponsible parties (desirous to participate in the allotment) tosecure at least some shares in this great undertaking, will permit the pay ment of a preliminary deposit of 10s. 6d. per share previous to ap plication being made ; and will guarantee that the parties so paying shall have shares allotted them, to at least the number upon which the sum paid by them is a preliminary deposit shall cover the full deposit of 21. 12s. 6d. They, however, reserve to themselves the right of limiting this privilege to the extent of 100 shares, if a larger number should •be applied for, or even of refusing it, in cases where they may find on inquiry that the applicant is not in their judgment eligible to be a shareholder; in such cases the deposit will be immediately returned ; nor will this privilege be extended beyond the deposition of 100,u00 shares, after which the bankers of the Company will receive in structions to refuse further preliroi • nary deposits. The preliminary deposits must be paid to the bankers of the Company, who will furnish a receipt for the same. The Com mittee caution the public not to negotiate such receip ts, as their the undertaking to supply the shar es holds good only so far as a pplicants, upon their references being examined into, prove re spectable and responsible. They particularly request will that state each applicant for shares who avails himself of this privilege , in his application; the amou nt of the deposit he has paid, and the number of the bankers' receipt.
