The line of Railway prnposed between Uttoxeter and Dudley has
been undertaken at the suggestion of several influential parties, as
combining (without being a competing line with any railway at pre-
sent mule) all the advantages of several projected lines, with addi-
tions of no ordinary value. The town of Uttoxeter, in the Dove Val-
ley, is itself the centre of a rich agricultural district, supplying al-
ready the markets of Dudley, Tipton, Walsall, Mist m, and Wednes-
bury, with cheese, cattle, and agricultural produce, but by a very
expensive and dilatory mode of transit. All the proposed lines
communicating with Manchester, London, and the Potteries,
must necessarily. pass to or near Uttoxeter. Already the Chur-
net Valley, Derby and Stafford, Derby and Crewe, Term,
and Dove Valley, North Staffordshire, Manchester Direct Inde-
pendent, Leicester anti Ashby lines of railway, project a station at
Uttoxeter. Assuming either of these former, or some equivalent, to
pass this will be the best route. from Manchester, Macclesfield, the
Potteries, Hull, Sheffield, and the north to the mineral districts of
South Staffordshire, and to Kidderminster, Woi tester, and South
Wales. By the Leicester and Ashby line, which will communicate
by its branch to Uttoxeter, traffic of great part of the east of
England will be available for Staffordshire and the west.
Commencing at Uttoxeter, the line will be carried over
favourable ground to Abbott's Bromley, thence to Rugeley, where
it will fall into the Trent Valley Railway Station, by Channock
Chase, along the Rising Brok Valley, to Hednesford, and thence by
Walsall across the Grand Junction Railway, through Wednesbury
and the mineral districts of South Staffordshire to Dudley ; there it
will join all those railways that will connect the Staffordshire coal-
field with Worcester, Ludlow, and Porthdynllaen on the south-west,
Aberystwith, Merthyr Tydvil, Swansea, Hereford, on the west and
south. In fact, it will unite by the nearest route the east and west
of England.
The line will fall into and cross the Trent Valley, Midlands, and
.GraiidJunction Railway at Walsall, and from Cannock afford direct
comMuniehtion with Wolverhampton- (where it will run into the
broad gauge railway) from Leeds, and Huddersfield, and the north
and east of England.
The population on the line exceeds 300,000, and the ordinary traffic
arising from internal sources alone is sufficient to maintain the rail-
way, and afford more than ample remuneration to the shareholders.
As a junction line (with the present immensely increasing public
favour to railway travelling) it is scarcely possible to compute the
amount of passenger traffic, but it must necessarily be very great.
Since this line was registered, a company has been formed for ex-
tending it by a junction at Uttoxeter, to Huddersfield, Leeds, and
Sheffield, by way of Ashbourn, and by this means immense mines of
lead, iron, stone, and coal of Derbyshire, the products of the paint
manufactories and barytes works at Ashbourne, Cromford, &c., will
be opened, and with those already in work, find a ready transit to
Walsall and Birmingham, Dudley, and Wolverhampton. The in-
crease of passengers, attracted by ready means of conveyance to the
romantic country of Dovedale, and the High Peak, will be necessarily
very great.

The copper, ore, lime, and coal, abounding in the Caldon and the
Ribden mines, will be transmitted by this line to the manufacturing
districts of Staffordshire, Warwickshire, and South Wales, and it will
afford a direct communication between Leeds, Huddersfield, and
Southampton, and it will also be the nearest route to Southampton
from Manchester, via Uttoxeter, by the London and Manchester
Direct Independent Line, or whatever railway should ultimately
pass between Manchester and London, as forming the shortest route
to the metropolis, a line which, it is now admitted on all hands, must
be carried.

This Company reserves the right to raise additional capital to com-
plete the line froth Dudley to or near the Droltwieb station, on the
Birmingham and Gloucester Railway. .

This important line of railway is forty-two miles in length ; wlil
commence at the railway station of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wol-
verhampton Railway at Kidderminster, and will proceed from thence
by way of Tenbury and Leominster to Hereford, where it will join the
Hereford and -Monmouth, and all the other lines of railway which
converge from. Hereford, and run into the West of England, and the
immensely populous coal, iron, and copper districts of South Wales,
and the important districts of Central Wales.

The intended railway will, by means of its connexion with the
Derbyshire, Worcestershire, and Staffordshire Junction, and that
portion of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton which runs
from Dudley to Kidderminster, complete the great chain of railway
communication between the clothing districts of Yorkshire, the coal
and iron ore districts of Derbyshire and Staffordshire, and the large
mineral 'districts of South Wales. At Tenbury it will form a junc-
tion with the 'Worcester end Porthddynllaen intended railway, and
will be the only means of enabling Birmingham, Wolverhampton,
Wednesbury, Walsall, Coventry, Dudley, Stourbridge, and the other
surrounding towns to avail themselves of the great outlet from Eng-
land to Ireland by means of Porthddynllaen, the future outport for
Ireland.

It will likewise form the nearest route to the north of England,
Manchester, and Liverpool from South Wales, and be a direct line
from the centre of Wales into the Midland Counties. Thus the coals
and other minerals, and the exclusive and constantly increasing iron-
works of Staffordshire, Worcestershire, and Derbyshire, the manu-
factures of Lancashire and Yorkshire, the saltworks of Cheshire and
Worcestershire, and the agricultural produce of Wales, Hereford-
shire, South Shropshire, will have a direct and cheap transit.
This railway is essential to complete the direct East and West
traffic. The traffic of the populous districts embraced by the under-
taking will afford sufficient remuneration to the Shareholders, and a
vast augmentation of revenue which will arise from the through traf-
fic, will make the stock of the Company produce nine per cent.
So convinced was an important Railway Company of the great
traffic which would run upon this line, that they bought up the pro-
moters of a Similar undertaking at a considerable expense.
The line is free from engineering difficulties, and gradients highly
favourable. The Directors reserve the power of adopting the atmo-
speric principle and wide gauge, if approved of. The preference will
be given in the allotment of Shares to persons locally interested in
the line, and no Shares will be appropriated except to persons who
shall give satisfactory references.
Applications for shares must be made to the Solicitors of the Com-
pany, or to Messrs. Owens and Greene, solicitors, Newtown, Mont-
gomeryshire ; to Mr. Cancellor, sharebroker, Cushion-court ; and to
Messrs. Preece and Evans. 39, Lothbury, London.

The Directors think it desirable to state that they sometime
since instructed Mr. Stephenson to prepare for Parliament in the
next session a complete system for supplying railway communi-
cation with the whold of Kent. It is proposed to provide direct lines to
Tunbridge, Maidstone, Gravesend, Rochester, Chatham, Faversham,
Canterbury, and Dover. The surveys have been for some weeks in
progress, and the whole scheme will be very shortly in a complete
state. JOHN KIRKLAND, Chairman.

A Company is now forming for the above object, and in a few days
the detailed prospectus, headed by a strong and hitiuential Provisional
Committee, will be published.

This line accomplishes everything proposed by the Manchester and
Southampton Railway Company in an equally full and complete
manner.

It is quite as short between the termini.
It requires less line to be made, as it uses twenty-three miles mor•
of existing lines, thereby ensuring support instead of opposition.
It passes through a more cultivated and much more thickly inha-
bited district, embracing the important city of Salisbury.
It will form a direct communication with the harbour of Poole—a
harbour possessing extraordinary advantages wanting only a small
outlay to make it the finest natural .dock in the kingdom, and where
the port and other duos are almost nominal.

The object of this undertaking is to supply railway communication
to the towns and districts lying between the London and Birmingham,
and the Great Western Railways, giving them the best means of access
to the metropolis, and connecting them also with the Northern and
Eastern lines of railway, as well as with Oxford and the South.
The main line will commence from the London and Birmingham
Railway, near Harrow, and passing to the north of Uxbridge, will
proceed up the Valley by Chalfont, near Amersham and Chesham to
Mlssenden and Wendover, and thence to Aylesbury; from which
place it will extend to Buckingham, and passing near Winslow, and
approaching Brackley, will terminate by a Junction with the proposed
Warwickshire and London Railway, near Banbury.
In addition to the line above described, it is intended also to con-
struct a Railway from the central station of the London and Bir-
mingham Railway at Wolverton to Buckingham, and thence through
Bicester to Oxford; and in connexion with the line here proposed,
the Bedford, and London and Birmingham Company, intend to make
a connecting line between Bedford and Wolverton.
The proposed Buckingham and London and Birmingham Railway
Company (for the construction of a line from Wolverton to Bicester)
is amalgamated with this Company.
Accurate surveys of the country have been taken by Mr. Robert
Stephenson, and it has been ascertained that no engineering diftteulty
of importance presents itself.
The undertaking has already received the sanction and support of
a very large proportion of the Nobility, Gentry, and Proprietors of
land through or near whose property it is intended to pass.
It is proposed that these lines should be made with the co-operation,
and under the direction and superintendence of the London and
Railway Company, subject to the
Birmingham Railway Company; under a lease, in perpetuity, at
de surplus

SECRETART--JoIM Dunlop, Esq.

The great importance and increasing prosperity of the port of
Southampton requires that more extensive railway accommodation
should be at once provided.

According to the'evidence:lately given before Parliament by Mr. Ed-
wards, the Collector Of Customs at that port, the exports have more
than quadrupled during the last three years, and he expressed his
conviction, that if a more direct communication with the manufac-
turing districts was made, the exports would increase to no less a
sum than ten millions the first year afterwards.

All the steamers from England to Jersey, and the Channel Islands,
to Portugal, Gibraltar, the Mediterranean, Malta, Italy, Greece,
Turkey, Egypt, and the East and West Indies, now depart from and
arrive at Southampton. It is also the most direct and shortest course
to Paris througk Havre.
Large quantities of goods are now brought to it from Manchester
and the manufacturing districts for export, which would be greatly
increased if the means of transit were easier and less expensive, and
the supply of clothing and naval stores from Yorkshire, Lancashire,
and Staffordshire, to her Majesty's dockyards, and victualling stores
at Portsmouth and Gosport, in addition to the export trade, is neces-
sarily very great, so that it is clear, that a more direct railway com-
munication from the manufacturing districts to Southampton, Gos-
port, and Portsmouth, is absolutely necessary.
The passing of the Oxford and Rugby, the Oxford, Worcester, and
Wolverhampton Acts this session, has afforded the facilities of effect-
ing this communication in the most direct course.
By making the railway, which will now be constructed by this
Company, from Didcot, on the Great Western Railway, where
the Oxford Line terminates, through Newbury, to the Southamp-
ton and Gosport Railway, near the Andover Road station, a distance
of only thirty miles, the most direct and the shortest commu-
nication will be formed from all parts of the north of England and
the manufacturing districts, to Southampton, Gosport, and Ports-
mouth. -

The line goes through a favourable country, and will be made at
little cost. The traffic on it, wholly irrespective of that from Man-
chester and the north, will be very large. A communication from
Newbury to a port is much wanted, so that the large quantities of
corn brought to that market may be exported along the coast. A
quick transit from Oxford to Winchester, to. Southampton and
France, and to the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth, will be secured.
From Oxford railways are about to be made to Cambridge, Peter-
borough, and Lincoln, and to Rugby, there joining the Midland and
York Railways; by this means affording the most direct and shortest
road to Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Lincolnshire, Sheffield,
the large cloth districts of Yorkshire, and to York and Scotland.
The whole of this traffic, together with the carriage of the cutlery and
plated goods of Sheffield, and the cloth goods of Yorkshire, must
belong exclusively to this line, and It is quite sufficient of itself
to maintain it, and to secure for it a large share of support, even
if it had no further claims on public attention ; but when
reference is made to the map, it will be seen that, from the
Oxford and Rugby Railway,. near Banbury' another railway will
proceed to Birmingham, which brings that most important town
several miles nearer to the port of Southampton than by the route
proposed by other parties through Cheltenham. Again, from Rugby
the Trent Valley and North Staffordshire Railway will carry the
traffic on to Manchester, by Which route the distance to Manchester
from Southampton is considerably less than by the same route round
Cheltenham, and will be further reduced by the Rugby and Mucks-
field line when made ; and as the goods coming by this line to South-
ampton will, for the greater part of the distance, travel over rail-
ways possessing a very large traffic of their own, and which can
afford to carry this extra traffic at very much lower rates than a new
company, whioh depends for its support entirely on such traffic, can
possibly do, they will be brought much cheaper by this line, than by
any line which can be made between Southampton and Cheltenham.
But it is of the most vital importance to the town of Southampton
that this communication with the manufacturing districts should be
completed in the leastpach epotassaiibalye thiemsee,cianredordtear
that
tt tkertc.ontiTthimaaneeof
the foreign steam
hall-
way will be made and opened in twelve months after the passing of
tlie Bill, 1. e., the Ist of September, 1847, whereas the line, via chel-
tenham, cannot be finished in less than three years.
The Railways from Yeovil and Dorsetshire, and parts to the west-
ward, will join this line near Whitchurch, and bring great portion Of
the traffic from the west over this line to Oxford and the places
beyond it.
As to the gauge there will be no difficulty. The Commission now
sitting will decide that. and there is not the least doubt, but that
goods will be brought from Manchester, Birmingham, &c., in the
same truck, and without any shifting throughout
andugho to utthoeoswpolriotle line to
the ship's side in the docks at Southampton

Steps were taken about three months past for the formation of this
Company, and applications were received for a large number Of
Shares ; but before proceeding to an allotment, the Committee and
the Projector deemed it advisable to have direct information from
Jamaica on subjects connected with the line—the probable cost ofthe
land through which it would pass—the engineering difficulties, if any
—and other matters connected with the line. They have received
this information and set it forth herewith.

The Provisional Directors have now determined to bring the Com-
pany forward, and to extend the line as far as Annotta Bay : lbw
principal towns to be thus connected arc
Montego Bay with Falmouth ....distance 20 Miles.
Falmouth Bueno 15
Rio Bueno Dry Harbour 5
Dry Harbour Sr. Ann's Bay 17
• St. Ann's Bay— Port Maria • . 18
Port Maria Annotta Bay .. 9

84 Miles.

At the latter place it will join the line intended to be formed to
Kingston, and thus unite the most populous and rich districts of the
North with the South by a junction with the Jamaica Junction and.
South Midland Line, and the capital and shipping port of Kingston.
and afford a quick and eheap mode of transit for passengers anti
goods; anti, at the same tune, will supply the means of a daily com-
munication by post, instead of a weekly one, under the present sys-
tem; and whilst these facilities will be offered, it bids fair to prove
highly beneficial to the Shareholders: for when it is considered that
the existing difficulties of approach from one town to another (n 44,
mail or stage coaches running), and also the badness of many of the
harbours and inlets, are such as to retard the shipment of the pro-
duce of the soil and merchandize ; it may be fair to presume that
a large portion of it will find its way to anti from Kingston for Sale or
shipment.

This Company is formed to obviate these difficulties, and to offer
this Lheap and certain ine;us of conveying passengers and goods, and
to open a more generalliommunication, and thus promote the inte-
rest of the landowner, the planter, the Ngriculturist, the merchant,
and all other classes of person and the very valuable island 111
general.

The Directors are authorised to state that they anticipate every
support and patronage from the Governor and Legislature of the
island; and they wish to establish a perfect understanding be-
tween this and the other companies aiready formed, and, with this
view, they offer to give a preference of shares, to the extent of one
share for every two, held in the original Kingston and Spanish Tt.wn
Line, and the like proportion ta,i►e holders of shares in the Jamaica
Junction and South Midland I incs, provided they apply for them oa
or before the 29th instant. •

A reserve of shares will be made for persons resident in Jamaica.
The applicants for shares under the former prospectus are at
liberty to withdraw their letters of application, or to permit them to
remain for consideration under the present plan.

RAILROADS IN THE ISLE OF WIGHT
That the public may not be misled by the various statements
that have appeared in some of the public papers, and in the pro-
spectus of the Isle of Wight Railways, I am desired to state, that at a
General Meeting of the Landowners and Ratepayers of the island,
held at Newport, on the 26th of June last, resolutions were carried
declaring the opinion of the meeting to be adverse to the introduc-
tion of railways into the island, and that a committee of gentlemen
was at the same time appointed to watch the proceedings of the
railway projectors; and I am further directed by this Committee to
state, that not only will the scheme be opposed by the most influen-
tial landed proprietors through whose estates the railways would
pass, but that it is also intended to offer a vigorous public opposition
t the project in Parliament, should a Bill be sought for.

This line will commence at the terminus of the Manchester and
Birmingham Railway at Macclesfield, and passing by the Rudyard
reservoir to Leek, will proceed by the Churnet Valley to Consall,
thence close to Cheadle, and Tean, and by Uttoxeter, Bagots Woods
and Abbots Bromley down the Blythe, to a point on the Trent Valley
Railway, near Lichfield, communicating there with one of the pro-
posed lines from Dudley and Walsall.

A glance at the map will show that this will be the most direst
line for the London and Manchester tragic; uniting those two great
termini by the shortest practicable route in connexion with existing
railways. It will also completely accommodate the local traffic and
manufactures, and open several extensive coal fields and some thou•
sand acres of wood land for the supply of Manchester, the Potteries,
and other great marts of the kingdom. Together, too, with the pro-
posed line from Derby to Crewe, it will afford a transit iroin the
Eastern Counties and Derby to Manchester, and give every accom-
modation to the Potteries.
This line is, in its principal features, much the same sunhat already
approved of by the Board of Trade, and partially abandoned by the
Churnet Valley Company—win be scarcely 47 miles in length, and
passing through the centre of the district, does not interfere with the
Grand Junction, or any other existing railway. It is material to re-
mark, that it is even more direct than the Churnet Valley as fonneily
projected to Tamworth, and.is free from the formidable opposition of
the landed interest, and the engineering difficulties consequent ou the
route by Rocester and Marchington. It must be observed also that
it is the only railway which has been brought forward by, and is
under the control of, the landowners and manufacturers of the Churnet
and Blythe Valley districts.
The co-operation of most of the principal landowners, from near
Uttoxeter to near Lichfield, having been obtained, and there being
no competing lines projected through that district, this portion of the
line may be considered as secure.
