LOCAL AGENT—H. H. Tarleton, Esq., Birmingham.
The title of this line sufficiently and correctly explains the object
of the undertaking.
The Birmingham terminus will be placed in communication with
all eke other railways having a station in that town, and will be
brought as near as practicable to its centre. Proceeding thence in a
norilierly direction, and on the west side of the Lichfield road, it will
pass within a short distance of Sutton Coldfield, and to Lichfield, at
the latter of which places there will be a Cation 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 Teen station on Remington's London and
Manchester line 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 he 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 en-
tire Parliamentary survey will be completed by the 9th or-October.
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 furnieh a nearer and more direct route from Birming-
ham to the Potteries than any lisle made or projected by several
miles, assuming any of the projected Pottery lines to have their ter-
mini at Colwicie on the Trent Valley, or at Stafford, ou the Grand
Junctiou Railway; thus giving to Manchester, and 11.60 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 shbrtest 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 rare.
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 Bainbridge, Esq., Uttoxeter ; or at the Offices
of the Company, No. 1, Moorgate, London.

The proposed railway- is intended to commence on the Trent
"alley Railway near Stafford, and proceeding thence in 'an easterly
lirection, to pass through, or near to, Tixall, Haywood, Colwich, and
ibbott's Bromley, to the rapidly-Increasing town of Burton-upon-
Trent, whore it will run into the Birmingham and Derby Railway,
t)rming the shortest and best practicable route front Stafibrd to
Derby. Leaving the Birmingham and Derby Railway at Burton-
upon-Trent, it will proceed along the valley of the Trent by Repton,
Swarkestone, anti Shardlow, to the Midland Counties Railway at the
point where that railway forms ajunction with the Derby and Not-
tingham Railway ; and thus, by means of these and other railways
in progress, form a complete line of railway communication between
the central towns of Stafford, Derby, Nottingham, Lincoln, Leices-
ter, Peterborough, and Boston, on the east, and Shrewsbury, Chea-
ter, and Holyhead, North Wales, and Ireland, on the west.
This railway will, therefore, form the only connecting link re-
quired in the great chain of railway communication from east and
west through the heart of the kingdom, uniting the shores of the
German Ocean on the east with those of the Irish Sea on the west, and
traversing In its course the rich agricultural districts of the eastern,
midland, and western counties, and accommodating the important, and
populous manufacturing towns of Stafford, Derby, Nottingham, Lei-
cester, and Shrewsbury. But another most important advantage
that will result from the formation of this line will consist in the
fact of its atibrdin,g, in connexion with the proposed South Union, or
Manchester and Potteries Railway, by far the shortest and best
route between Derby, Nottingham, Newark, Lincoln, Peterborough,
Leicester, and • Loughborough, and the extensive and populous dis-
tricts of the Staffordshire Potteries, Macclesfield, Stockport, and
Manchester. By the proposed line the distance between Nottingham
and Derby and Manchester will be at least from 15 to 20 miles leas
than by the present circuitous route by Sheffield.
The traffic on this line must necessarily be equal, if not superior,
to that of any line in the district. .

Thy length of the line will be about 33 miles, through a country
presenting no difficulties of more than an ordinary kind for its con-
struction.
The capital proposed to be raised is 630,0001., in shares of 201.
each, upon which a deposit of 21. 2s. per share must be paid upon the
allotment. No call will be made until the Act is obtained, and no
subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of his deposit until the
Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription ;
and the usual power will be taken to allow interest at four per cent.
from the time of payment upon each call until the opening of the

line.
The Subscribers' Agreement and the Parliamentary Contract must
be executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged tbr scrip cer-
tificates, of which 14 days' notice will be given ; and the deposits
paid by any party making default in the execution of tliose deeds will
be forfeited. •

In submitting this undertaking to the public, the promoters are
Influenced no less by a conviction of its importance as a direct con-
necting line between the important towns of Chichester and Ports-
mouth and the metropolis, than by its grand national importance in
affording a direct communication between the two great naval and
military arsenals of Creat Ittitain.—Portsmouth and Chatham.

The projected undertaking, by proceeding to the two termini at
Chichester aad Portsmouth. will extend the facilities of communica-
tion with the coast branches of railways along the south of England,
connecting itself with Brighton to the eastward, and Southampton
towards the west. By the main line falling into the Brighton Rail-
way th,ii advantage of two termini in London will be secured—the
one at tits Bricklayers' Arms, and the other at London-bridge—the
latter of which, from its proximity to the Custom Howse, and the
several docks on the Thames, is acknowledged to be the best position
for a London terminus for merchandise of all descriptions.
The line of railway intended to be constructed by this Company will
commence at or near the Henn' station near Reigate, on the Lon-
don and Brighton Railway, a distance of 21 miles front Loudon-
bridge.
In its course to Portsmouth it will pass through or near Reigate,
Nowdigate, Capol, Ockley, Ewhurst, Rudgwick, Cranley, Alfold,
Billinghurst, Wisborough-green, Plaistow, llaslemere, Chiddingfold,
North Chapel, Kirdford, Petwurth, Midhurst, Chi'grove, Stoughton,
Racton, Westhounte, and Emsworth, at or near which last inentioned
place this projected line will join the Chichester and Portsmouth Rail-
way to Portsmouth.
At the earnest recommendation of some of the principal land-
4,viners, branches are proposed to be made to Godalming and Peters-
field. The branch to Godalming will be from a point in the main
line between Plaistow and 'North Chapel; and the branch from

Petersfleld will join the main line at a point between itlidhurst and
!lepton. These extensions of this undertaking have rendered an in-
crease necessary in the amount of the capital originally fixed on ;
!nit from the increased accommodation which these branches will
,afford, the promoters of the undertaking feel coini lent that a com-
mensurate profit will result to the shareholder.
A branch is proposed to be made from Dorking to join the main
line at or near Capel.
r. , this course the entire distance to travel betwcep. London and
Portsmouth will be abridged to 73 miles, a distance considerably
shorter than that by which any line hitherto projected bctweer
London and Port-mouth has proposed to pass, and also pursuing
a route more populous and productive than any hitherto presented
to public notice. It will Involve the construction of only 45 miles of
railway to complete the coarse between the Redhill station (near
Reigate) and Emsworth.

From Chilgrove a line of seven miles will be constructed, and
which will place Chichester In direct communication with London.
The distance between Chichester and London by this route will be
62 miles.
Trains will run direct between London and Chichester, without
stopping at Chllgrove.
Inasmuch as the existing line of railway to Dover branches off
from the London and Brighton Railroad at Reigate, this projected
line will open up a communication by railroad between Portsmouth
and Dover.
From an inspection of the map, it will be seen that the Redhill
station, near Reigate, lies nearly in a direct line between Ports-
mouth and Chatham, and in pursuing the line of communication
to the last-mentioned naval and military depot, this line will pass
through or near to the towns of Bletchingley, Godston, Limpsfield,
Westerham, Seven Oaks, Tcrlithani' Town Malting, Wrotham, Off-
ham, Snocliend, Lower Halting, and Weuldliam.
The distance between Chatham and Reigate will involve the
making of 31 miles of railroad, and the line of railroad between
Portsmouth and Chatham will extend over 82 miles.
To the naval and military establishments of this kingdom the
construction of this projected line will afford the most important fa-
cilities in the transit of troops, stores, baggage, &c. &c., diminishing
the tardy course of communication which at present necessarily
exists between Portsmouth and Chatham, at present usually extend-
ing over the space of two days, and placing them hi that direct com-
munication with each other which, in two hours, er thereabout,
will enable the journey between them to be made.
The formation of a direct , line of railway between Portsmouth
and Chatham will afford the opportunity of establishing, by the
electric telegraph, that celerity of communication so important to be
obtained between places of national importance.
The warm support of the principal landowners en the greater part
of the line is pledged to this undertaking.
The Previsional Committee abstain from making any special re-
ference to the contemplated profit to result from carrying into effect
this u;idertaking, feeling convinced that the extent et traffic through
the pormots and rich districts over which this line and its branches

•
This railway is proposed to commence at Uxbridge, proceeding
thence to the Southall station of the Great Western Railway, and
then through Heston to Hounslow, there meeting one of the proposed
lines to Hounslow from London. Leaving Hounslow the line pro-
ceeds through Whitton, Twickenham, Teddington, and Hampton,
to Kingston, and, crossing the Thames, joins the Kingston station of
the South-Western Railway, whence it will proceed to, and terminate
at ,Epsom.

The towns and places through which the line passes, or most imme-
diately affects, contain an aggregate population of about 200,000
persons.

To the inhabitants of the important town of Uxbridge, this line
presents the most direct communication with the metropolis, adopt-
ing the old course taken by the coaches, viz., through Hillingdon,
Hayes, Southall, ?cc., contrasting favourably with the present cir-
cuitous route to London, by coach or omnibus to West Drayton, and
thence by the Croat Western Railway. With the present limited
railway accommodation, the corn returns of Uxbridge show an in-
crease of 30 per cent. upon the average of the last two years.
The weekly market at Southall is second in importance to Smitk-
field, anA it is attended by the graziers and butchers from all parts of
the neighbouring country and the metropolis.
Ily means of this line, anti one of the proposed lines from London

to Hounslow, which this will intersect, Brentford, the county-town
of Middlesex, and the Thames, will be brought into immediate con-
nexion with Uxbridge; the traffic between the last-named towns hat
hitherto materially helped to produce the large dividends of the Grand
Junction Canal.

By means also of this line, and the Croydon and Epsem line (now
in course of construction), all the before-ntentioued towns and places
are likewise connected with Croydon. .

The importance of connecting two such towns as Uxbridge and

Brcutford with Kingston, Croydon, and Epsom, three of the largest
market-towns in Surrey, between which the present agricultural traffic
is extensive, is too obvious to require comment. A glance at the map
will at once show that the communication now proposed is not only

judicious, but, in order to satisfy the requirements of the important
and populous district involved, is actually imperative. It will afford
to Uxbridge and the towns in Hertfordshire north of it, with wh!ch
it will be connected by proposed new lines, direct transit to the Great
Western, Southampton, and Portsmouth Railways, and by the
established lines, ' southward, to Shoreham, Brighton, Dover,
Ramsgate, and all the south and south-eastern parts of th
kingdom, avoiding the loss of time and great inconvenience of going
ronn'l by the metropolis. So also as to Brentford, Hounslow, King-
ston, and Epsom—it will afford to them access to the Great Western,
London and Birmingham. and Northern and Eastern lines; and by
this line, in connexion with one proposed to Hounslow from the me-
tropolis, and the other proposc and established lines north and south
of it, easy access will be afforded to Hampton-court, Epsom, and
other favourite places of resort. There can be no doubt, therefore,
that the passenger traffic alone will be sufficient to pay a very large
dividend on the outlay.
The average number of persens visiting Hampton-court in the
summer months amounts to about 18.000 per week.
The supply by the county of Kent and western division of Middle-
sex of the north and north-western markets with trait during the
season, would, by this line, be immensely increased, and form another
source of income to the Company.
This undertaking,presents the additional and important advantage
of competing with no line at present established ; on the contrary,

it will be the means of connecting and feeding the several lines enu-
merated, and several others that are projected ; and the engineer
reports that it passes over a particularly easy country, and will be
capabk of construction at about 16,000/. per mile ; and the land-
owners on the line who have been seen, are favourable to the un-
dertaking.
The length of the line will be about 18 miles.
. .

J In consequence of the great number of applications for shams
In this 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 L:,nn 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
is at the disposal of the Provisional Directors, and no application for
shares therefore cm he attended to, except from parties locally in-
terested and of the highest respectability.
