Derby—Messrs. Dunnicliffe and Severne.

This Company has been formed for the purpose of constructing
and maintaining a direct line of railway between the towns of
Liverpool and Derby, by proceeding from an independent terminus
at Liverpool, or on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, diverg-
ing in a direct course to Warrington, Knutsford, thence to Congle-
ton, Leek, Ashbourne, by Brailsford and Langley, to Derby, thus
affording railway accommodation (the want of which has for some
considerable time been most seriously felt) to four large interme-
diate manufacturing towns, and completing a direct communica-
tion to Ireland, Liverpool, and the north-west of England, from
Nottingham, Grantham, and the Eastern ports of Boston, Lynn,
and Yarmouth ; as also (in conjunction with the Midland Coun-
ties Railway) from Leicester, Melton Mowbray, Oakham, Stam.
ford, Peterborough, Ely, and Cambridge; and forming, by the
intended Churnet and Blythe Valley Railway, the most direct line
of communication between Liverpool and London.
The importance of the different towns through which this rail-
way will pass, is sufficient to convince all parties that on public
grounds alone it is absolutely necessary; and that the immense local
traffic not only justifies but demands its formation, independently 4.4
the great accession which must necessarily follow, ft om the advan.
tages which will be given to the several towns and ports above-
enumerated, and to the various ports south-east of Derby, in opening
to them the grand commercial depot and port of Liverpool.
The necessity of establishing the most direct railway communi-
cation between the towns of Liverpool and Derby is self-evident,
from the fact of the enormous traffic which at present exists under
the most disadvantageous circumstances ; the nearest communica-
tion by railway being 120 miles, whilst, by the construction of the
propcsed line, the entire distance will be reduced to about 73 miles,
opening at the same time the shortest practicable route between
Liverpool, Manchester, and London.

It would be superfluous, in reference to a line presenting so many
extraordinary advantages, to encumber the prospectus with details
of estimated traffic; for, independent of Its possessing the great
desideratum of directness, the present local trade, it is well known,
will produce a return that evidently must surpass that of any other
scheme which has hitherto been projected.
_ .

It may further be mentioned, is worthy of consideration, that
the proposed line, which roust necessarily form a " Great Trunk
line," interferes with no existing railway, presents no engineering
difficulties, and requires no works to cause any delay in its com-
pletion,

Power will be taken by the Act of Parliament to allow in-
terest at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum on all calls until
the opening of the line; and no subscriber will be answerable for
more than the amount of his deposit until the Act is obtained, and
then not beyond his subscription.
Until an Act of Parliament be obtained, the affairs of the Com-
pany will be under the direction and control of the Committee of
Management. Power will be applied for in the Act—and, in the
meantime, is hereby given to the Committee of Management—to
increase the proposed capital, if necessary ; to abandon any part of
the line; to make branch lines, or enter into arrangements with
any other company or companies; and to nominate the first Direc-
tors of the Company. In the allotment of shares a preference will
be given to all parties locally interested, and shareholders in the
different railways communicating with the line.
Application for prospectuses, maps, and shares, in the form sub-
joined, may be made to F. W. Mount, Esq., solicitor, 10, Law-
rence Pountncy-lane, London ; the local agents, and the following
stock and sharebrokers (and must be accompanied by a reference

This company is formed for the purpose of establishing direct
railway communication between the important ports of Hull,
Great Grimsby, and Southampton.
It is intended to effect this desirable object by the construction
of a line of railway, commencing at Lincoln, passing Grantham,
Oakham, Uppingham, near to Rockingham and Rothwell, and
joining the South Midland Railway between Market Harborough
and Northampton ; thus forming, in connexion with projected
lines of railway from Hull and Grimsby to Lincoln, and from
Northampton to Southampton the connecting link in one uninter.
rupted chain of railway communication from Hull and Grimsby
to Southampton, Gosport, and Poole, and the whole of the south-
western coast of England.

It will also form the most direct route from Hull, Great
Grimsby, and the whole of Lincolnshire, Rutlandshire, Northamp.
totishire, and part of Leicestershire, to Oxford, Banbury, Chel-
tenham, Gloucester, Bristol, Exeter, and the South and West of
England.

An inspection of the map will at once show the importance of
this undertaking, whether considered in a local or national point of
view, forming as it will an intimate connexion between London
and the South generally, with the fertile districts of Lincolnshire
and the adjacent counties, at present without railway accommo.
dation; while its value to the South Midland, the Northampton,
Banbury, and Cheltenham, the London and Birmingham Railway
Companies, and the projected lines south of Northampton (to which
it will form a most profitable adjunct) must be obvious.
This line will also form junctions at Lincoln with the projected
line from London to York, also with the Leicester, Louth, and
Grimshy, the Nottingham and Lincoln, and the other proposed
lines running to Lincoln ; at Grantham with the Nottingham,
Vale of Belvoir and Grantham, and the Grand Union ; at Clakham
with the Syston and Peterborough ; also with the Boston, Stamford,
and Birmingham and London, and Manchester Direct.

One great and important feature in this railway is, that it does
not run parallel with, or in opposition to, any existing line of
railway.

The ground has been surveyed, and found to be practicable, pre-
senting for the most part no engineering difficulties.
Satisfactory communications for mutual co.operation have been
opened with the several companies, whose interests will be affected
by the proposed line. In the meantime the Committee of Manage-
ment reserve power to amalgamate with any other company, or
deviate from the proposed line, or make such extensions and
branches as they may hereafter deem advisable.
The Subscribers will ba held liable only to the amount of their
subscriptions, and power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to
allow interest at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum on all calls from
the passing of the Act.

In consequence of a great portion of the Shares having been
already applied for, the period for application must necessarily be
very limited.

Applications for Shares may be made in the annexed form to the
following Sharehrokers :—London : Mr. W. West, Capel.court,

The object of this Company is to establish a direct line of rail-
way for passengers, goods, and commercial, mining, and agricul.
tural produce between the harbour of Watchet on the Bristol
Channel, and the harbour of Bridport on the English Channel, and
provide means of inland transit for a large proportion of the pro-
duce at present necessarily sent by the dangerous and uncertain
passage round the Land's End, and at the same time afford to the
intermediate rich and populous districts ready and convenient rail-
way communication.
The direct line will be 48 miles in length, and will proceed from
Watchet to Taunton, and thence by Hatch Beauchamp, and by
Ilminster to Chard, and by Crewkerne and Beaminster to Bridpnrt
harbour. A branch will proceed out of the line, about mid-way
between Watchet and Taunton, directly to Wiveliscombe. All
these towns and their neighbourhoods are populous and opulent,
and many of them very much so, and the localities are remarkable
for their richness, fertility, beauty, and numerous resident gentry.
At Wiveliscombe this line will avail itself of the North Devon
Railway to Taunton, and also westward; at Taunton it will
enter the station of the Bristol and Exeter Railway, and thence
proceed to Mangerton, four miles short of Bridport, where it will
unite with the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, one of the
Great 'Western lines of Railway, and thence proceed on that line
to Bridport Harbour.
It will also cross the proposed line from Yeovil to Exeter
about two miles westof Crewkerne.
The junction of the two Channels was long since deemed an im-
portant object. To effect it, surveys were successively made for a
ship canal by the late Mr. Rennie, Mr. Telford, and other scientific
men, who concurred in the importance of such a work in a na-
tional point of view ; the design was matured, and in 1824 an Act
of Parliament was passed ; and it stands recorded as the opinions of
Mr. Telford and Captain Nichols, that the canal would afford a
remuneration to the subscribers of 16 Y 2 per cent. on a capital of
1,712,844/.
The sum required for this work, being so much less than that
for the Ship canal ; the increased demand of a greatly increased
population, and the present vast commercial energies of the
country, make it manifest that goods may be conveyed by this
railway at fir less than half tin. ch -age upon which Mr. Telford
and Captain Nichols formed their opinion.
The intended line from Minehead to Bridgewater, Will meet
and emu this line near Watchet,

No railway, either made, or being made, or projected, will serve
the purposes which this important and favoured line will serve.
The country it will pass through possesses a population exceed.
ing 150,000. It leads to marine watering places of much resort—
Weymouth, Lyme, and Seaton on the English Channel shore, and
Linton, Minehead, and Blue Anchor on the shore of the Bristol
Channel. 'Taunton, which may now be considered the county
town of Somersstshire, has always been the market and trading
town of the country north-west of it, including Watchet and its
surrounding district ; the route to which, from London and the
north, is through Taunton.
A well remunerating passenger traffic may hence be expected.
The country also contains between SO and 100 mills and fac-
torioa, many of which are worked by steam in aid of water-power,
and many more of the proprietors will avail themselves of steam.
power when coals shall be procurable at a reduced rate by this
railway. The millers arc most desirous of having the markets of
south Hates opened to them. Several iidluential coal proprietors
of South Wales are members of the Provisiwial Committee.
The country also possesses several extensive lime quarries, for
manure; the lime is burnt with culm brought from Wales ;
the conveyance both of the culm and lime is at present attended
with much expense to the agriculturist. The line will also be of
high importance to this agricultural district by opening to it the
markets of Taunton, Tiverton, South Dolton, Barnstaple, in the
north of Devon, Exeter, and London. The towns of Taunton,
Ilminster, Chard, Crewkerne, Beaminster, Broadwindsor, Brid.
port, Axminster, Charmouth, and Lyme Regis, will be connected
by the line, and derive from it supplies of coals, culm, timber, dry
goods, and other articles of import. The line will afford to those
towns and their populous neighbourhoods, increased facilities of
communication with other lines of railroad.

The usual prevalence of westerly winds during the winter months
is so great as to render the passage round the Land's-end very un-
certain. The facilities offered by the proposed railway will obviate
such uncertainty, save many hundred miles of dangerous sea pas.
sage, and more than compensate for the charges attending re-ship-
ment at Bridport from Watchet, particularly in the article of
Welsh coals, now in great demand in and about London for steam.
engines, steam-boats, and other purposes.
The harbour of Bridport admits vessels at spring-tides of 350
tons burthen; it receives large supplies of coals, culm, flux, hemp,
Baltic and American timber, iron, slate, tallow, staves, awd nu.
merous other articles ; which, in the aggregate, last year, amounted
to nearly 40,000 tons, a large portion of which consisted of flax
and hemp, for the numerous manufactories of yarns, sailcloth,
sacks, nets, lines, twines, and linen goods, which when wrought
would pass along the line to the two ports, for shipment, or to
other railways.
The harbour of Watchet, at spring-tides, admits vessels of :200
tons burthen, and carries on an extensive and important daily trade
with the ports of Tenby, Llanelly, Swansea, Neath, Cardiff, New.
port, and Merthyr Tydvi!, in coals, culm, corn, flour, and other
provisions, cattle, sheep, salt, timber, slates, iron, and other articles
of merchandise ; employn g twelve vessels belonging to the harbour
regularly and exclusively; one trading with Liverpool. It has
also a considerable corn, malt, flour, and goods trade with Bristol,
and employs therein several vessels regularly
Both the harbours are capable of being much improved, and
belong to proprietors able and willing to improve them to meet the
increased wants of the community,

The port of Watchet, as it is, has the largest and most important

trade on the English side of the Bristol Channel. This Railway
will increase that trade fourfold, and therewith its own prosperity.
The shore contiguous to Watchet exclusively abounds with lime
of the most celebrated description, both for water-works and ex-
terior building, being the same as the universal y known and cele-
brated Aberthaw lime, which also is on the directly opposite coast;
and at and around Watchet are extensive corn and flour mills,
paper mills, and clothing mills.
The foregoing facts show that the line must have a very exten-
sive goods traffic.
It is not intended to put forward Watchet as a packet station
either for Ireland or South Wales; nor does this measure require
such aid. No portion of the coast of the Bristol Channel, east of
Ilfracombe, can have the slightest preteßsion to be, or be
made, a packet station. In the first place, it is obvious that
the railway in actual progress from the Government Deck-yard
at Pembroke (or Hobbe's Point, 100 miles further down the Bris-
tol Channel) will take all the packet trade from the south of Ireland :
Liverpool takes Dublin;whilst Ilfracombe (50tniles west of Watchet),
and Swansea (directly opposite to Ilfracombe), maintain a regular
steam packet passenger told goods traffic; and in the second place,
all the harbours on the English side east of Ilfracombe are dry, and
for a great length, at low water, the shores being very flat, and to
construct a harbour on them, to admit large class steamers and to
laud passengers at all times of the tide, would, if not impracticable,
cost an enormous sum. To hold out expectations that either of
them might be such packet station, would for the above reasons be
delusive,

The extended North Devon line of railways will serve the port
of Ilfracombe and its packets. . . _

A survey has been made by the engineers, who have reported
that the line is easy of construction, and will not interfere with any
park.

It affords great satisfaction to the promoters to be enabled to
announce that the directors of the Bristol and Exeter Railway
Company have promised to give this measure their favourable con-
sideration, and the promoters entertain a sanguine expectation that
it will receive their support.
The neighbouring landowners and gentry are favourahle to the

measure, and all the merchants and traders both at Watchet and

Bridport, as well as the principal coal proprietors in South Wales,
and all persons throughout the line, entertain a high opinion of its
merits, and earnestly desire it.
Many extensive landowners on the line, whose names do not
appear on the Provisional Committee, have yet expressed them-
selves as friensis to the measure.
The Act will be applied for next session, and the liabilities will
be limited to the amount of subscriptions, and interest at four
per cent. will be paid on all calls front the time of payment until
the opening of the line.
An early allotment of the shares will be made, and the usual
Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be exe-
cuted by the Shareholders when called upon.

In consequence of the great number of applications for shares
in a n.s Company which are daily received from all parts of the
country, the Provisional Directors feel it necessary to call the atten-
tion of the Public to the following Clause in the Prospectus, to the
terms of which they will, in allotting the shares, be compelled most
strictly to adhere:—
" As, under arrangements entered into with the Lynn and Ely,
Ely and Huntingdon, and Lynn and Dereham Railway Companies,
a large proportion of the capital has been appropriated to the holders
of shares in those Companies, a very limited number of shares only
la at the disposal of the Provisional Directors, and no application for
shams therefore can be attended to, except from parties locally in-
terested and of the highest respectability.

PARLIAMENTARY AGENT—Thomas Baker, Esq. Spring-gardens
The attention of the public and of the civic authorities of this
great metropolis, through the powerful medium of the public press,
has upon several occasions been excited by the detail of numerous
and almost daily occurring accidents on the river Thames. With a
view to abate, if not altogether remoye an evil of enormously grow-
ing magnitude, the dangerous navigation of the river, the present
project is put betore the public.
Although the chief cause of this danger is acknowledged to be the
blocking up the navigation, by the numberless tiers et' colliers and
their attendant barges, and their ingress and egress to and from their
station, still no efficient remedy has been hitherto proposed.
It is admitted by all that the only mode by which this great and
dangerous nuisance can be removed is by a dock, at a considerable
distance from the Pool, and a suitable and most convenient site has
boon selected, in every way adapted for the object contemplated ;
and which not only combines facilities. in no ordinary degree, for
coal and coasting vessels to enter at all times of the tide, at a dis-
tance far removed from the Pool (about three miles below Woolwich),
but also at a locality, by the aid of a railway, from which the various
produce may be transmitted within half an hour into the very heart
of the City.
It is proposed to construct a dock at a point in that part of the
river, four and half miles below Plackwall, called Gallion's Reach,
and thence to carry a railway four miles, long, through East Ham,
Plaistow, and West Ham, to the Eastern Counties Hallway at Strat-
ford, where it will join the Northern and Eastern Railway, and form
a central point from which goods may be transmitted to the various
parts of the country which those railways traverse, and to London.
The spot at which the dock and works will be constructed has been
selected as being a part of the river where at the lowest state of the
tide there will always he a sufficiency of water to permit the ingress
and egress of vessels, as a refereiice to the Admiralty charts will de-
monstrate ; by this arrangement they will be enabled to discharge
their cargoes, leave dock, and take in ballast (which is in the imme-
diate vicinity where the Trinity House dredge is generally working),
almost before they conld have even reached their ordinary station in
the Pool, as at present. The great saving in time thus effected, it
is manifest, will be of the utmost consequence and advantage to the
owners of these vessels ; and by materially decreasing the cost,
would enable them to supply the consumer at a much less rate than
at present.
It is intended also to erect a sea-wall and wharf, 1,500 feet long,
for the accommodation of pa,sengers by steam-packets and other
vessels passing to and fro. The economy of time thus effected will
be very considerable; for by the aid of this railway (bringing Shore-
ditCh and the intended terminus at Finsbury within twenty minutes)
nearly three-quarters of an hour will be saved over every other
mode of conveyance.
It is moreover to be remarked that from this spot Gravesend can
be reached in forty minutes, consequently the time consumed, from
Finsbury to Gravesend by this route, would be about one hour.
As the Eastern Counties Railway will be united to all the other
great trunk lines, by means of the northern and southern connecting
line just projected, it may be justly said, that the Steam-Packet
Wharf, now proposed, will be the only metropolitan Continental ter-
minus. _ . _

By the construction of this railway, with its very important ad-
junct, a coal and coasting dock, a most valuable addition► will be
made to the Eastern Counties revenue by calling into existence a
traffic which, under any other circumstances, could not be created ;
thereby developing to the proprietors of that extensive line, that ite
capabilities have hitherto lain dormant, and only required the neces-
tary extension to the Thames with a dock to secure to it a national
depot for produce for all parts of the globe to he disseminated
through the numerous and Increasing extensions of the parent line.
The carriage of coal alone would add no insignificant suns to the
hitherto declared dividends of the Eastern Counties, when it is con-
sidered that more than two and a half millions of tons are annually
imported into the port of London, which amount would be greatly
inereased by means of the facility of railway transmission thus
afforded.

It may be proper to remark that it would be difficult to find, so
near the metropolis, a four miles course in every sense so eligible
for a railway, so free from obstruction, and so cheap of construction,
that the coal traffic of itself would yield an ample return for the
outlay.
Prospectuses, plans, and forms of application for shares, may be
