PROSPECTUS.

This:Company has been formed by the Union of the Promoters
of the Thames Embankment and Atmdspheric Railway Company
with the Promoters of the Thames Embankment and City Railway
Company.
The object of the united Company is to carry into effect the re-
port of the Metropolitan Improvement Commissioners (7th February,
1844) recommending an embankment of the northern shore of the
Thames, between Blackfriars and Westminster bridges, and preceding
reports of Committees of the House of Commons in favour of in-
creased facilities of traffic to relieve the narrow and over-crowded
thoroughfares which form the only existing communications between
the east and west end of the Metropolis.
This great public improvement has hitherto been delayed by the
difficulty of providing adequate funds from resources not interfering
with the general taxation of the country ; but it has appeared to the
promoters of the present united Company that the object may now
be attained, and be rendered a highly profitable investment for
capital, by combining with It the additional advantages of railway
communication. _ _

It is proposed therefore to execute the line of embankment founded
oa the plan of Mr. Page, according to the recommendation of her
3lajesty's Commissioners for Metropolitan Improvements, and to
combine with it a railway en the atmospheric principle il•om Hunger-
ford Market, or its neighbourhood, to the vicinity of London-bridge
and the Bank, and thence to the Blackwell Railway near Fenchurch-
street ; and also to join the various railways terminating at London-
bridge Station, either by one of the existing bridges, or by a new
bridge to be constructed for the object.
It is obvious that this great undertaking cannot be carried into
effect without the sanction of Government. For the purpose of ob-
taining such sanction, proposals have been submitted to the Metropo-
litan Commissioners regarding the execution and management of the
work, and which the promoters expect will receive a favourable con-
sideration both from that board and the City authorities.
The levels of the embankment and railway will be so arranged as
not to interfere with the wharves. The point where the line will
diverge from the river side, to join the Blackwell Terminus, will be
determined by the comparative cost and utility of continuing by the
river side to London-bridge, or of forming a new street, adapted to
the railway, parallel with the Thames.
The names on the Previsional Committee show that the various
Companies whose railways the Thames Embankment and Railway
Junction Company is intended to unite, will promote its progress ; and
the support of the public at large may be anticipated, for the following
among other important reasons.
_ _

let. river-side terrace, equally striking in point of appearance
and utility, affording a spacious drive and promenade available for
the purposes of health and recreation, will be afforded to the public
without resort to the Consolidated Fund, while the most crowded
thoroughfares of the City will be at the same time relieved from part
of the vast traffic which now obstructs them, and by an improved
mode of railway transit, free from noise, smoke, and danger.
21. The improvement of the navigation of the River, and of the Me-
tropolitan sewerage, and the removal from the northern shore of the
unsightly and unwholesome accumulations of mud which now die-
:figure it.
3d. The connexion of the principal towns and seaports E. the
southern and eastern coasts with the centre of the Metropolis.
An estimate has been formed of the traffic between the projected
termini ; but to avoid the appearance of exaggeration, the Provisional
Directors submit only the following general calculation, which shows
an ample return for the capital invested. Nobody can reasonably.
doubt this return who considers the multitudes continually passing
and repassing to and from the City on foot, in omnibuses and other
carriages, and in steam-boats, and without reckoning the very largely
increased traffic that must accrue by the junction with the above-
mentioned railways, and their many projected extensions. When it
is remembered also that the transit will occupy less than five minutes,
instead of, as at present, twenty minutes to half an hour, the saving
alone of valuable time to men of business, &c., must insure a power-
ful support to this undertaking.
The following table exhibits the immense traffic between the City
and the West End :
Steamers averaging 370 trips per day 16,000 Passengers
Omnibuses ditto 2,120 journies per day • • 20,000 ditto
Cabs and private carriages, ditto 6,588 .. 13,000 ditto

49,000 ditto
76,000 ditto

Foot passengers, ditto

125,000 Persons daily,

If one-third only of the passengers by
steamers and carriages use the railway . 16,300
And one-eight of the foot passengers .. 9,500
And of those travelling to and fro, from the
different railways connected with the
Blackwall and London-bridge termini .. 12,200

The aggregate would be • . 35,000
Assuming that the improved mode of transit
will increase the number of passengers
about one-third (the usual calculation being
double) the daily number will be 50,000.
An average of 3d. would give 625/. per
day, or .. £228,125 per annual
Ana deducting for expenses . • • • 57,000

There would remain .. £171,125
Or above nine per cent. upon the capital. An increase, too, may
be reasonably expected from the traffic of the eastern and western
lines of railway crossing the River for communication with the
central terminus, for which a Company has been formed, and with
which it is expected that arrangements will be made satisfactory to
all parties interested.

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS.
The object proposed by this railway is, as well to supply the wants
of the district through which it passes, as to complete the chain of
railway communication between the eastern and midland counties
and the western district, including the whole of North and South
Wales.

The country embraced by this line is of the richest description, and
thickly populated.
By means of this, and the existing and projected lines of railway,
the whole of the ports in the eastern and north-eastern counties, in-
cluding the manufacturing city of Norwich, and towns of Leicester,
Nottingham, Sheffield, Leeds, and the whole of Yorkshire will be
brought in direct communication with the mineral districts of
North and South Wales, the salt district of Droitwich, and the
river Severn.
The promoters of this line submit to the public, as a most import-
ant consideration, the abating of those causes of loss and inconveni-
ence which, along the line of country over which this railway will
pass, are experienced from water carriage being from necessity at
present a principal mode of transit for heavy goods and merchandise,
and which, in the winter season, is productive of the most evil con-
sequences to those engaged in commerce.
A manifest advantage to the Shareholders will be the extent of traffic
which will be secured and appropriated by the present undertaking,
in lieu of that which hitherto has been engrossed by the more
dilatory course of water carriage.
As a public advantage to the inhabitants generally of the
above-mentioned districts, the promoters submit that the equa-
lisation in prices of the produce and merchandise which the
opening of this line of railway is calculated to produce is of the high-
est importance, and one of the principal benefits which this and other
similar undertakings are alone capable of producing.
The proposed line will commence at Rugby, the terminus of the
Midland Counties and Trent Valley Railways, and also of the pro-
posed Rugby end Huntingdon Junction Railway, and proceed from
thence near to the towns of Leamington, Warwick, and Alcester, and
end at the City of Worcester. At Worcester this line will form a
junction with the several Welsh railways, the Shrewsbury, Wor-
cester, and Crews Railway, and the Oxford, Worcester, and Wol-
verhampton Railway.
At Warwick it will unite with the Birmingham and Oxford June-,
tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon-
don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway.
And at Rugby with the London and Birmingham, the Midland
Counties, and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railway.
To the inhabitants of Rugby as well as to those of the Midland,
Eastern, and Northern Counties this line will afford a direct com-
munication with the fashionable towns of Leamington and Chelten-
ham, as well as the whole of the Western Counties.
To the inhabitants of Leamington and Warwick it will give a
direct communication with the City of Worcester and North and
South Wales, now so much needed.

And to the inhabitants of Worcester, in addition to providing the
nearest route to London via Warwick, it will be an outlet to the
Eastern Counties and ports, and afford great facilities for the increase
of the manufactories now carried on in that city.

The whole of the country has during the present month, August,
1845, been most carefully surveyed by the engineers, and they report
it to be free from engineering difficulty, and well adapted for a rail-
way; and the provisional Directors entertain no doubt that the
line will be made under the average rate of expense incident to
similar undertakings, and, from the statistics in their possession,
that the traffic will afford an ample return for the capital invested.
The line will Rot interfere with any ornamental property, and the
landowners are favourable to the undertaking.
Tile Shareholders in the several Railways proposed to be joined or
intersected will have a preference in the allotment of shares in this
undertaking.

No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the Act is
obtained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at V. per
centum on all calls, from the time of their respective payments, and
to limit the liability of the Shareholders to the amount of their sub-
scriptions.

The Directors reserve power to themselves to amalgamate with
any existing or projected line of railway ; to vary the route ; to
make all desirable extensions; and to increase the capital as may be
advisable or necessary.
Prospectuses, with a Plan, will be published in a few days,
and may then be obtained on application to the several solicitors,
and to any of the following share brokers, viz., Messrs. Peppercorne
and Co., 2, Old Broad-street; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39, Loth-
bury, London ; Messrs. Payne and Freer, Leicester ; Messrs. Alston
and Gage, Liverpool ; Messrs. Freeman and Son, Northampton ; Mr.
John Duncaft, Manchester; Messrs. George Edwards and Son, Bris-
tol; Mr. John Watson, Leeds ; Mr. John Cragg, Skipton ; and

tioned form may be addressed.
