In consequence of the total want of system in the selection of
railways in England, especially those emanating from the grand
centre of London, there are many wealthy and populous ells-
trtets that are totally devoid of the benefits of railway conveyance.
Such, for instance, is that between Reigate and Windsor—a country
unequalled in agricultural resources, and loaded with population, a
vast number of whom are connected more or less with mercantile
pursuits, and, consequently, in frequent habit or necessity of rea:ll-
- the metropolis, market towns, ports, and manufacturing locali-
ties. These considerations, weighty in themselves, but light in e,om-
parison with others, first gave rise to the present undertaking ; and
when it is considered that this line of thirty miles will be the con-
necting link of five of the largest railways in England, through
which it will be fed by incalculable numbers, totally independent of
Its extensive local traffic, it must be evident to the most sceptical,
that it forms not only a desirable but an absolutely necessary artery
at the present system of railway cz.mmunication.
There are many lines now in contemplation which will afford
ulditional prosperity to the Royal Grand Junction; among whick
may be named the Landon and Portsmouth Direct ; Epsom, Brighton,
end Arundel ; Reigate and Reading ; London, Staines, and Ascot ;
Direct London and Exeter, Ste.
The lino is I.•tended to commence at the Reigate station of the
Loudon and Brighton Railway, and passing through Reigate, Betch-
worth, and within a quarter of a mile of Dorking, will continue its
course along the picturesque vale of Mickleham, at the foot of Box-
hill and Nerbury, following as near as may be the river Mole to
Leatherhead ; after which it will pass through the parishes of
Fetcham and Stoke D'Abenton, and at the back of Claremont, the
property of his Majesty the King of the Belgians ; from thence near
Esher, Walton, and Weybridge, to Chertsey, Thorpe, Egham, Ascot,
Windsor, Eton, and Slough ; and terminating at the Slough station of
the Great Western Railway.

In addition to the many sources of income to be derived from the
conveyance of passengers, merchandise, and agricultural produce on
this line, and which has been estimated at 15 per cent.. it will afford
a diract and continuous railway communication for the accommoda-
tion of her Majesty and the Royal Family between Windsor, London,
Claremont, Portsmouth, and Brighton; thus approximating one with
the other her Majesty's five favourite residences, and avoiding the
present inconvenient changes from the railway to the road, and
from one proprietary to another, it being proposed to lay down the
narrow gauge, that being adopted by four out of five of the lines this
railway is designed to connect.
It is proposed to erect royal station-houses at Windsor and Clare-
mont, for the use of her Majesty, and to make south deviations and
arrangements as shall meet the royal assent and approbation, as also
to forward the views of the Company.
It may be as well to add, that the whole country has been care-
fully selected. so that no difficulties can interfere with the completion
of the line, and the land through which It will take its course is, on
an average, considerably below the usual value of property; and,
lastly, having obtained the sanction ofthe most influential proprietors
throughout the line, no opposition can be made orsustained against
the promoters of the undertaking, who will use use every endeavour
to obtain a Bill to incorporate the Company early in the-next sea -
sion.

Applications for shares may be made, In the usual form, to the so-
licitors., or to the following brokers :=Mr. Roger Mortimer, Throg-
morton-street, London ; B. R. PeMberton, Esq., Atherton-buildings,
