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.

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 honour :tott•ereenrt to youand
that
RI
ehiagyaetemfoi-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.

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.
Applications for shares and prospectuses to be addressed to 1,
