The title of this line sufficiently 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 Coldfield, and to Lichfield, at
the latter of which -laces there will be a tattoo in communication
with the projected Walsall lines.
Thence crossing the Trent Valley, near Ring'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 Rue at the junction of the Crewe branch, or by a Junc-
tion with whichever of the projected lln to Manchester may be
adopted by Parliament.
The entire length of the new lint 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 of a great portion of the line have been made, and the en-
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 beet and nearest line between Huddersfield, and Bk.

Surrey,
and IJulon

and 6, Hen.

the Oxford,

co run into
igham, and
Iffic) as near
rnalt. The

mingham.
It will also furnisita nearer and more direct routs 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 also the Pot-
teries, the shortest, easiest, and most direct route to Birmingham.
It will also give the nearest line between Huddersfield and Birming-

ty of Old-
wick, and
Lion to a
nvards of
he proposed
itended line,
.rtaltity of a
I almost un-

ham and Soutlampton.
This railwg, 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, Shelled,
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.

PROSPECTUS.
Commencing at'Cambrhlge, which has now become the traffic-
centre of the Eastern Counties, by the line of railway intended to be
formed by that Company, this line will proceed to Bedford, there
Passing near Olney it will cross at or rear the Blisworth Station of the
London' and Birmingham Railway, where it will communicate with
the Northampton and Peterborough line; it will thee proceed west-
ward, crossing the Oxford and Rugby line at or near Fenny-Compton
to Stratford-on-Avon, there joining the proposed lice from Warwick
and Leamington to Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the West of
England ; continuing its course through Aleester, the line will ;,';o di-
rect to Worcester, and thus terminate at the great centre of traffic
for the mineral and manufactering districts of South Staffordshire,
Shropshire, and North and South Wales. This proposed boa does
not interfere with any existing railways, and presenting, as it does,
an unbroken line between two great centres of traffic, the importance
of the undertaking needs no further comment.
Negotiations . have been entered into with the Eastern Coun-
ties Railway Company, by which their support and co-operation will
be ousured for obtaining4he line now proposed.
An arrangement has also been made with the proposed Rugby,
Warwick, and Worcester Company, which this line will join at Al-
cester, and by means of which the Eastern Counties' traffic will pro-
ceed to Worcester.
Power will be reserved to the Directors to amalgamate with any
other existing or projecting Companies, or to vary the line.
Application for shares may be made to the Secretary, and to the fol-
lowing Sharebrokers, of whom prospectuses, with maps of the line.

PROSIECTU3.
This line of railway, although only about twenty-eight miles in
length, is a most important one, as forming a connecting link to
several existing lines, and across a district at present destitute of
such accommodation. It commences at the Thirsk station on the
Great North of England Railway, and proceeds in a direct line to
Pickering, where it will form a junction with the York, Scarborough,
Pickering, and Whitby Dirs. It is supported by the various coin-
panics having lines of railway running into Leeds and Think, and
by means of this proposed line a distance of twenty-two miles will
be saved between Thirsk and Whitby, and about sixteen between
Thirek and Scarborough. It would certainly be the grand route to
Whitby, Scarborough, and Burlington, and the intermediate towns
of Helmsley and Kireby-Moorside, so badly provided for at present
With railway accommodation, from all places west or north of Thirsk,
and it would necessarily open out a traffic, for which the present
means of communication are altogether inadequate.
The landoveners on the line are few in mine,er, and are friendly to
the project, which presents no great engineering difficulties. It In-
terferes with no existing railway property, and every care will be
taken not to interfere with any ornamental property.
It will at once appear unnecessary, with espect.to this line, to enter
into details of passengers and goods traffic. They cannot for a mo-
ment be questioned ; and when by this railway so much easier access
is made between the important seaport of Whitby and the fashion-
able resorts of Scarborough, Burlington Quay, and Harrowgate, as well
as the populous and important towns of the West Riding of York-
shire and Lancashire, with which it will form an uninterrupted com-
munication, it cannot fail to be highly beneficial to those interested in
this undertaking.
Until the Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the sof the
proposed Company will be under the control of the Commommittee, of

Successive Administrations, from the time of Mr. Pitt, have recog-
nised the importance of establishing at a point of the southern Coast
of England, within an eligible distance from the Metropolis, a Har-
bour with docks and warehouses for bonding inerehandise, whereby all
vessels from the westward may save the delay and expense of a
voyage up channel, and avoid the risk to which that tedious and
dangerous navigation necessarily exposes them. The political con-
siderations which originally suggested the formation of such a har-
bour are, of course, infinitely strengthened by tha revolution effected
in naval warfare through the agency of steam ; while the vastly im-
proved modes of transit between London and the provinces in
v neot
st
such an undertaking with a commercial importance which could
have been previously anticipated.
On the whole southern coast, from the Land's-end to the Nom,
Langston affords the only harbour adapted to the combined purposes
here indicated. Its proximity to the great naval depot of Portsmouth
—the unequalled excellence of its anchorage—the capacity- of its
basin—the ease and safety with which, at at all times of tide, it will
be accessible to vessels of every bu:then, establish its nautical supe-
riority; while with London, only 66 miles from the docks, a rapid
communication is ensured by railway.
The promoters have great satisfaction in announcing that the un-
dertaking has received the approval of the Lords of the Treasury, of
the Board of Ordnance, and of the Woods and Forests, whose sanc-
tion is a guarantee for the intlinsic excellence of the me re
a eonsu
public and national grounds. A grant of Crown lands for the
of the Docks has been obtained, subject to stipulatiens most favour-
able to the Company.
The circumstances under which the land is secured will allow of
such a reduction in the scale of charges and the expenses of ma-
nagement, compared with those of similar establishments, as must at
once command an extensive business ; and the Committee feel as-
sured that they may recommend the undertaking as an investment
likely to prove highly remunerative.
The plan inclosed with the prospectus exhibits the situation of the
intended docks and warehouses, and of the adjacent localities in con.
flexion with the harbour. The area proposed to be inclosed by the
boundary wall is 220 acres, of which KO will be appropriated to
docks, and 120 for warehouses, quays, roads, &c.
Of the immense extent of the commerce for which these advan-
tages are available at Langston, some idea may be acquired from the
subjoined data, taken from the official returns presented to Parlia-
ment during the last session :
Tonnage of vessels registered at Portsmouth, for the year 1844,
13,623 tons :—Of coasting vessels entering the pert of London, duel. g
1843, 2,901,271 tons :—Of ships entering London from the colonies,
during the same date, 492,805 tons : —Of vessels entering from foreign
ports, during the same date, 814,592 tons :—And of general shipping,
entered during the same period, 1,317,671 tons. Total, 5,559,962
tons.
The sources of the contemplated traffic and consequent revenues
of the Company are sufficiently obvious to those who are at all ac-
quainted with the nature of the import, export, and coasting trade
of the country ; but to the public generally the following statement
may be necessary.
The inducements to shipowners and merchants to adopt Langston
are of the strongest possible nature, for not only ale the well-known
perils of the Channel altogether avoided, but the saving on a voyage
up and down Channel, a distance of three hundred miles each way,
would be, on a vessel of 150 tons, 591. 16s. 6d. ; of 300 tons,
1021. 2s. ; of 600 tons, 2281. 18s. 6d., and on one of 1,060 tons,
3581. 16s.—exclusive of the saving of insurance, the difference of port
charges, pilotage, light dues, seamens' wages, and carious other items
of expediture, familiar to every merchant and shipowner.
Though it is impossible to approximate to an accurate estimate of
the proportion of this vast trade likely to be secured to Langston, yet
it must be evident that much of it must be secured, and that even a
fractional part of it would alone constitute a very extensive busi-

The object of this Company is to connect the London and Birming-
ham, and the Great Western, with the South-Western, the London
and Brighton, and the South-Eastern Railways, by means of a line
commencing at at point on the London and Birmingham Railway,
about four milts from the station at Euston-square ; proceeding from
which, it will join the Great Western, and continue onwards by Ken-
sington, Chelsea, Walham-green, Parson's-green, and Fulham, there
crossing the river Thames to Wandsworth. It will then proceed to
the station of the South-Western Railway on Wandsworth-common,
and continue its course by Upper and Lower Tooting, Streatham,
and Mitcham, to the joint station of the London and Brighton, and
the South-Eastern Companies at Croydon.
That the great trunk lines of railway which connect the provinces
with the metropolis, should be united by a common terminus, has
long been an object much desired by all who take an interest in the
completion of our railway system.
Various schemes have been entertained from time to time for the
accomplishment of the object, but in the opinion of practical men,
from the incotivenience which must arise to existing interests, and
the consequent destruction of valuable property in the heart of a
great city by such a project, it has always been discountenanced as
impracticable. This Company, therefore, propose to get rid of the
difficulty by the formation of this connecting line, at the least in-
convenient distance from the metropolis, by which the great lines
already mentioned will enjoy the advantages of intercommunication
; in a manner most conducive to the interests of the public, and at the
same time with lime injury to the property of individuals.
The Company have reason to think that their labours will be con-
siderably diminished by taking advantage of the present West Lon-
don Railway (which, in fact, forms a portion of their proposed line),
by' some amicable arrangement with its present proprietors, the
London and Birmingham Railway Company; and they will thus be
enabled to secure a great saving both of money anal time in carrying
out their project.
There is one feature in this undertaking which cannot fail to Inte-
rest the inhabitants of Wandsworth, and of the populous districts
around it. The construction of a bridge over the Thames, adequate
not merely for the purpoac of a railway, but also of sufficient width
and of proper arrangement to serve as a public thoroughfare for car-
riages and foot passengers, must of necessity be of immense advan-
tage to the inhabitants not only of that district, but those of the
western parts of the metropolis. It is evident. that it must be so,
when it is considered that in proceeding to Wandsworth, Tooting,
or Croydon, they are now obliged to cross the Thames by a circuitous
route, over one of the old weoden bridges, either at Battersea or
Putney, both being very far out of the direct line to those places al-
ready mentioned.
It is equally clear that it must be a source of considerable income
to the shareholders of this Company, as it is intended to take tolls,
which being moderate, will at the same time (frem the great traffic
that may reasonably be anticipated) form a source of great remunera-
tion to the shateholders.
Independent of the profitable source of revenue which must accrue
from the traffic both in passengers and goods between the several
great railways which this line will connect, the Company have
every reason to hold out the most flattering encouragements to the
public, from the rapidly increasing importance of the several suburban
towns on the course of the line.
The Company intend to make at the Wandsworth end of the pro-
posed bridge a depot for goods, which will give great facility for the
conveyance by water carriage, on the one hand, for goO.s intended
for exportation, and on the other a cheap and expeditious mode of
1 transit for goods intended for the interior.
Passengers going by the Birmingham, or Great Western Railway,
or from the western parts of the metropolis, to the railways on the
south of the Thames, will not only avoid the great inconvenience of
passing through the crowded streets of London, me utns will

Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at the rate of 41.
