No. 70, King William -street, Mansion-house, London The object of the promoters of this company is to form a direct line of railway from Bristol and Bath to Dover; and thus in effect unite, connect, or reciprocate with all the existing and projected lines of railway in the South and South West and West of England, as well also as form a complete communication with Ireland and all the Western and Welsh railways, and most of these in the Northern and great manufacturing districts, by which passengers and goods to and from Folkestone and Dover, France, and Belgium may be conveyed without the necessity of passing through the Metropolis. The main line to be laid down by the company will be considerably less than one hundred miles, throughout which the strongest encouragement and support have been manifested towards this railway by the landed pro prietors, many of whom have determined to invest capital in the undertaking, and the engineer's report precludes the apprehension of engineering difficulties. The great public utility and commercial advantages of railway coin. munication between the important places and ports which it is now contemplated to unite; will beat once appreciated by reference to a map of the country, and they will be forcibly illustrated by the objects to be attained by this company. This line is intended to begin at Bristol by means of the Great Western railway, and passing through Bath to Bath Hampton it will skirt the valley of the Avon, to Bradford, and thence to Trowbridge. It wilt then take as strait a direction as can be obtained to Devizes, All Crnings, Pewsy, Burbage, Shalborne, West Woodhay, High Clere, and Overton, on to. Basinsgtoke, where it will unite with the South Western railway, and thus from the Western counties the distance will be several miles shorter to the Metropolis than by any other existing line. It will then, by means of the South Western railway, proceed on to near Farnborough (a distance of fourteen miles) whence, leaving Farnham to the South, it will pass onward to Ashe, Guildford, Gomshall, and Dorking to Reigate, where it will unite with the South Eastern and Dover railway—(Tbe latter, eighteen miles from Guildford to Reigate will in all probability be constructed by another company). In its course it will thread its way through the lines of many of the railways already constructed or projected— the junction of which will not only be estimated as a great public convenience, but prove highly advantageous to the several companies interested, producing an immense traffic, that must stream from Ireland—from our great manufacturing districts in the North—the cloth and corn markets of the West of England—the mineral and coal fields of Wales, and the hop districts in Kent—all of which point to the formation of this railway as a great desideratum, as well also as form a direct communication with France, Belgium, and the Con inent generally. The distance to be saved by this railway will exceed thirty miles from Bath (and all the towns North West) to Dover; while to many of the towns South West of Bristol sixty miles or more wilt be saved by this railway in union with some of the other lines ; and the often dis agreeable and costly necessity (at present existing) of passing through London, to or from Dover, will be entirely obviated, and manufacturers and merchants in most parts of the country, West and North, or South, will be thus enabled to forward and receive goods direct from and to Dover and Folkestone, avoiding the present inconvenient mode and expense of transference from railway to railway across London. Any attempt to distinguish the number of passengers proceeding to or from London, or the Provinces and the Continent by the South Eastern and Dover Railway, would be abortive ; but the published statements of that Company show that the traffic exceeds £BOOO weekly, and the accounts of arrivals at, and departures from Calais, Boulogne, and Ostend, exhibit an astonishing number of persons as passengers to and from England weekly, by Dover and Folkstone, throughout the whole of the year. Yielding to the metropolis one half of the number as a large proportion, the remaining half will belong to the provinces and Ireland, who will probably prefer to be conveyed from or to their localities without the annoyance of being compelled to pass through London, especially as the saving of distance alone will considerably diminish expenses. The construction of this line of railway can hardly fail to meet the approval of the government; as, besides its great commercial utility, the convenience it will afford for the speedy transport of troops from Ireland, or the North, South, or West of England to Dover, in a direct manner, avoiding the present necessity of marching them across London or other towns, after they are once placed in rail way carriages, must be greatly appreciated ; and where it is expedient that expedition and secrecy should be observed in the removal of troops, the means offered by this company will greatly assist the authorities in faci litating their objects.; The railways already constructed or projected with which this line of railway will effect a union or communica tion, and reciprocate advantages exceed fifty in number (as will be seen by examing any railway map), and all of them must be in direct communication with, and will feed, or be fed by THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES UNION, AND, BRISTOL, BATH, AND DOVER DIRECT RAILWAY; the most important junctions being those leading to this line from the North and the Manufacturing Districts by Oxford to Dover and Brighton, those from Ireland, North Wales by Cheltenham or Oxford and this railway to Dover or Brighton, and those from the South ' and West of England by Salisbury to Dover ; thus effect ing a continuous and direct intercourse with nearly every part of England,Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and the Conti nent. The census returns show that this railway will pass through a country containing a population of upwards of one million, and this number, though large, may be fairly multiplied several times if all the other parts of the king dom which will benefit by it, be considered. With these facts before them, the promoters have not deemed it necessary to put forth estimates of traffic ; the soundness of the project being guaranteed by the truths already given in this brief exposition, and the great objects intended to be compassed by this company.

The Line is proposed to be carried from Ayr by Dal mellington, Carsphairn, Dairy,. and New Galloway, to Castle-Douglas and Kirkcudbright, by forming a junction with the British and Irish Union Railway. The course of the Line bas been selected with the view of opening up, in the most effectual manner, the resources of this important District of the Country, and of affording the most complete system of Railway communication to the districts on either side. It is well-known that the Counties of Wigton and Kirkcudbright are destitute both of Coal and Lime, while the district of the county of Ayr, proposed to be traversed by this line. abounds with an inexhaustible store of these important minerals, of the very best quality, as well as abundance of Ironstone, Freestone, and Lead Ore, all of which have hitherto been wrought to a very limited ex tent, owing to the want of a ready means of transit. By the formation of the proposed Line of Railway, these counties will enjoy the advantages of a cheap and abun dant supply of these articles. By means of the Line to be now formed, these Minerals will also be conveyed to the town of Ayr at a very mode rate cost, and the inhabitants supplied with Coal at about one-half of the present price. A considerable traffic also may be expected by exporting the Minerals from the Har bour of Ayr, which might (with some assistance from the different Railways entering there) be much improved as a place of export to Ireland and elsewhere. The Railway will afford a ready means of conveyance for Sheep and the Black Cattle of Galloway, on their way to Edinburgh, Glasgow, and the other markets to the North and South, whither they are presently driven in great numbers. The formation of this and the British and Irish Union Railway will open up to the Tourist the well-known sce nery of Loch DOOl2 and Loch Ken, and complete the sys tem of Railway communication in the South-west of Scotland. _ _ . There are no Engineering difficulties on the Line—the Gradients are for the moss part ravourabie—the cuttings and embankments are comparatively light, and there is no tunnel. The undertaking is warmly supported by the principal Proprietors along the Line, and from the inves tigations already made, an ample return on the Capital may be expected. Applications for Shares, in the form subjoined, may be made in Edinburgh to the Secreta , y, No. 127, Prince's street, or to Mr. Robert Allen, Stockbroker, St. An drew's-square ; in Ayr, to Mr. Quintin Johnson, Writer ; in Castle Douglas, to Mr. James Lidderdale, Writer ; in Dumfries, to Mr. Thomas H.

William M'Ewen, Esq., Writer, St. Vincent•place, Glasgow. This Line of Railway is proposed to branch off from the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway at or near to the Croy station, and to proceed d irect to lloa by Kilsyth, Denny, and Larbert ; and from Alloa by the town of Sauchie and the great Devon Ironworks, to the important manufactu ring towns of Alva and Tillicoultry. fhe Line iresentsnoinginee;r4 difficulties whatever, and will be constructed at a very moderate cost. The whole length of the Railway to be constructed will not ex ceed seventeen miles. The Population, the Manufactures, the Mineral and Agricultural interests of the great district in which the. above towns are situated, require that the shortest and best Line of communication, consistently with moderate ex pense, should be adopted. This object will not be attained by any other Line hitherto projected. The great popirla tion throughout which the present Line passes, and will be benefited by it, do not require any lengthened detail of its advantages; but to the public it may be necesrary to point out a few of ►ts leading features._ The proposed Line from Glasgow to Alloa, including the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway t o t h e po i nt of its junction, will extend to about 241milea; from Alloa to Til licoultry by Alva, again, the distance is 4 miles, thus mak ing the•whole distance from Tillicoultry to Glasgow about 28 miles r a space which may be passed'over in little mare than an hour. The only Lines hitherto projected from Alloa or Tillicoultry to Glasgow are by Stirling and the Scottish Central to near Falkirk.. The distance from Alloa by Stirling and the Scottish Central and the Edin burgh and Glasgow Railway to Glasgow cannot be less than 39 miles; and from Tillicoultry to Stirling, and by the satne.route to Glasgow, at least 2 miles more, or 41 miles. By the present Line there is thus a saving of dis tance to Glasgow of nearly 15 miles- from Alloa and 13 from Tillicoultry. But, in addition, the District through which the pro posed Line passes, as a manufacturing, a mineral, and au agricultural district will insure support to an extent which few other provincial Lines in Scotland can calculate on. It is well known that the whole manufacturing population of Clacktnarinanshire is concentrated in Alloa, In Alva, and Tillicoultry, and the immediate neighbourhood of these towns. The manufactories of Denny and neigh bourhood are also well known to be very extensive. Nearly the whole of the raw produce for the various manufacto ries will pass along the proposed Line, and the manufac tured material, which is almost entirely sent to Glasgow, will be Ira: 94nitted by it, The proposed Line will also pass through nearly the centre of the almost inexhaustible iron and coal fields of Alloa and Clacktnannan,.and of Devon and Woodlands, being the only important mineral fields in the county, or within many miles of Alloa, and be the mode of transport of the products of these in all direc tions from Alloa as a centre. The whole of the district in Stirlingshire through which the line passes will in parti cular, by the transit of coal, be materially benefitted. In point of agricultural fertility, the greater part of Clack mannanshire, through which the line passes, is unequalled in Scotland. The district from Alloa to Denny is also well known as an exceedingly productive agricultural country. The line will, therefore, afford ready access to Glasg rw for the whole of the surplus produce of these im portant districts. Further, the line will afford the most convenient and suitable transit for the productions of the extensive coal fields already referred to, the production also of the nnmerous Breweries and Distilleries,, of the Glassworks, Ironworks, and Founderies, and other large establishments in Alloa and vi c i n ity, all of which for the most part have hitherto been transmitted to Glasgow end the West of Scotland, as well as to Ireland and the West of England, either by the canal round by Grangemouth, or by land carriage, both at a very heavy expense. But as a Passenger Line it will also be of great importance. Alloa, besides being the county town, the seat of the Courts, and where the County Markets are weekly held, ranks as the fifth Shipping port in Scotland. Denny also possesses a large industrial population wholly unprovided with Railway accommodation. The Passenger traffic may, therefore, be calculated on as very extensive. The projected Line to Stirling from Queeusferry and the South and East o f Fif e, by Dunfermline, proceeds to Alloa, and the proposed Lines from Dundee to Stirling by Tillicoultry pass along to the present Lines. Whether the Line to Dundee may ultimately be by the projected Dun fermline and Queeusferry line, or the Tillicoultry Line, or both, it is obvious that the great Passenger and Goods Traffic to Glasgow by these Lines will unquestionably pro ceed from Clackmannanshlre by this Line, being much the shortest and most direct reute both from Dundee and Dunfermline to Glasgow. The projectors of the present Line willmake arrange ments by which the narrow ferry at Alloa, at all times an easy one, will be crossed in about two minutes, the Rail way carriages and waggons passing without change. The working of this Line will be eff , cted at a very mo derate cost, the country being peculiarly favourable for such an undertaking. So far as already ascertained the sentiments of the Landowners on the Line are favourable, and, as it does not interfere with any other line hitherto announced, no opposition is anticipated. Applications for Shares way be made to the Secretary, Solicitors, and any of the following Sharebrokers:—viz., Messrs. B. and M. Boyd, 4, Bank-buildings, London; Messrs. FORSYTH and HAMILTON, Liverpool ; George Harris, Esq., Manchester; Messrs. Foulds and Cockburn, Macewan and Aid; and 'l'. G. Buchanan, Glasgow; Messrs. John Robertson and Co., and Robert Allan, Edin burgh; John Donald, Esq., Alloa ; James 'l'. Wingate, Esq., Stirling; James Laing, Esq., Denny ; and John A. Cloag, Esq., Perth. Early applications will be necessary, as great part of the Stock has already been applied for by parties locally interested. . THE THAMES, SOUTHEND, & NORTHERN , AND EASTERN JUNCTION RAIL WAY.

SECRETARY pro tern., Henry Codd, Esq This Company is formed for the purpose of establish -- big a direct line of Railway communication, (and to be called the Thames, Southend, and Northern and Eastern Junction Railway,). from the populous and rapidly in creasing watering-place and port of Southend, through Rochford to Chelmsford, and there crossing the Eastern Counties Railway,,will proceed towards the north-west to• Dunmow, and form a junction with the Northern and Eastern Railway, at or near Saffron Walden, with branches from Rochford to Burnham, from Maldon to or near Great Beddow;: from Dunmow to Braintree and Coggeshail, to join the Eastern Counties Railway; at or near Fering or Mark's Tey, and. from .Dunmow Bishop's Stortford, and the Northern and Eastern Coun ties Railway ; and thereby not o n ly open i ng a communi cation with and connecting all the most populous market towns of Essex, but_ by its second junction with the Northern and Eastern Railway at Saffron Walden, pro viding the cheapest and most direct means of transit from the manufacturing, commercial, and agricultural provin c es of the kingdom, to the River Thames, and.thereby avoid ing the present expensive and circuitous route through the metropols. The line will also give rise to an increased communi cation between Kent and Sussex,lsnd the Coal and Catqa districts of the North ; in order to facilitate which, it is the intention of the Company to run Steam-boats, M conjunction with the trains, between Southend and Sheer-_ nese, (from which latter place more than one line or railway has been prejected, in order to connect it with the interior of those counties.) The Company also propose to form at Saffron Walden,- Braintree, Chelmsford, and Southend, depots for the storage of Coals, which can be brought by railway direct from the great coalfields of Staffordshire and Newcastle-- upon-Tyne, for the supply of Essex, Kent, and Sussex.. at a great reduction from the present price. The proposed Line presents the following among its many advantages -Ist. It will communicate with the Thames, and there-• fore advance our foreign trade. 2nd. It will be free from tunnels, and the embank ments and cuttings few and inexpensive. 3rd. The produce (particularly coals and cattle) , 9l the Midland, North, and North-Eastern Countiess.ww' be rapidly and cheaply conveyed throughout Essex* Kent, and. Sussex, and vice versa. 4th. The intercourse and traffic between Essex and the rest of England, and vice vend, will be greatly aug mented ;• and the communication between Kent and Sus sex, through Essex, to the northern provinces, and vice verse, will be also much facilitated and increased- Lastly. The proposed Lines from the Metropolis to Southend will be greatly advantageous to the latter place, and therefore equally so to the line now propo!ed. The Act of Parliament will provide that the liabilitY of the Shareholders shall not extend beyond the am ount of their respective Shares, and £4 per cent. will be allowed on all calls paid up, until the Act is obtained. The- Committee will, in the allotment of the s hares, give a preference to parties locally i nterested. Applications for Shares to be addressed to J. Russell, Esq., 8, Gray's Inn Square.
