This railway is proposed to commence at 'Uxbridge, proceeding
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 teems and places through which the line passes, or most imme-
diately affects, contain an aggregate population of about 200,000
persons.
To the inhabitants ef 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
Hayes, Southall, &c., contrasting favourably with the present cir-
cuitous route to London, by coach or omnibus to West Drayton, and
thence by the t.;reat 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 Smith-
field, an it is attended by the graziers and butchers from all parts of
the neighbouring country and the metropolis.
By means of this line, and one of the proposed lines from London
to Hounslow, which this will intersect, Brenttbrd, the county-town
of Middlesex, and the Thames, will be brought into immediate con-
nexion with Uxbridge; the traffic between the last-named towns has
hitherto materially helped to produce the large dividends of the Grand
Junction Canal.
By means also of this line, aril the Croydon anti Epsom line (now
In course of construction), all the before-ntentioned towns and places
are likewise connected with Croydon.
The importance of connecting two such towns as Uxbridge and
Brentford 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 coununication 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 which
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
round 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 toliounslow from the me-
tropolis, and the other propose .l 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 ef persons visiting Hampton-court in the
summer months amounts to about 18,000 per week.
The supply by the eotmty of Kent and western division of Middle-
sex of the north and nortli-western markets with fruit 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
capable of construction at about 16,0001. 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.

The establishment of the above railway will effect twe great
and important objects :—first, the supply of the metropolis and its
vicinity with coal fully twenty per cent. cheaper than by the pre-
sent mode of transit : secondly, by the exclusion of passenger
traffic to diminish the risk of accidents. The Board of Trade, in
reference to the latter, have in their report upon the subject, laid
great stress on the importance of separating the passenger from
goods trains ; and the Select Committee on the Coal Trade
recommend that every means of promoting a new supply
of coal should be encouraged. The existing lines from the
north being already crowded to excess with trains of every class,
travelling at velocities varying from fifteen to fifty miles per hour,
and new railways being almost daily projected as feeders to the
great trunk lines, the already prodigious traffic on those lines must
be still further augmented; so that it may be truly assumed,
that the addition thereto of several millions of tons of coals
and goods is out of the question. It, therefore, becomes
manifestly necessary, with a view to public convenience,
and to supply the metropolis and the intermediate districts
with coals from the coal fields in the north (from which at present
the greater proportion is supplied) that an independent railway,
devoted exclusively to the conveyance of coals and goods at a
moderate and regular speed, should be constructed from Newcastle
to London. It is, therefore, intended to confine this railway to
carriage of coals and goods only ; and it is ascertained that the
conveyance by railway of large quantities, for long distances, at a
moderate speed, and at comparatively low rates, will be as profitable
as the carriage of passengers at a greater velocity, The actual ex-
perienco of the London and Birmingham Railway affords a safe
ground for calculation; the expenses on that line for the year 1844
being 1,472/. p ,r 4 mile; at the same rate per mile, 2,000,000 tons of
coal annually may be 0. rought the entire distance horn Newcastle;
this quantity is about one-half of the present importaticn from
London, making on the average from 13,000 to 14,000 tone
daily.

The extreme fluctuations to which the price of coal is subject
from irregularity in the supply, dependent as it is on the uncer-
tainty of the winds and weather, has hitherto operated against the
estabishnient of manufactories on the banks of the Thames. From
the same cause, also, London has, at times narrowly escaped total
darkness, the gas works not being able to obtain their regular
supply of coals. In the course of the last five years the prices of
household coal, on the Coal Exchange, have fluctuated between
I4s. 6d. to 275. per ton, and ►ast winter the price rose even to 355.
per ten ; the high prices always occurring at a season when the
scarcity, and consequently increased price of coal, is most distress-
ing to the poor.

The removal of the colliers from the Pool is an important con,
sideration, as it will necessarily render the navigation of the
Thames safer for all other vessels: and it is no valid objection
to this undertaking, that it will supersede, in a great measure
the employment of collier ships, because it is now ascertained, be-
yond all doubt, that coals can be brought to London by railway at
20 per cent less than those seaborne ; and, therefore, London will
be supplied from Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and South
Wales, unless the present project, or one offering equal advantages
to the northern coal.owners, in their certain and fast approaching
competition with the Infant collieries, be carried into effect.
In addition to the through traffic, accommodation will be afforded.
to the intermediate districts for the conveyance of coals and goods,
which will materially increase the revenue of the Company.
The estimated cost of the line is 5,000,0001, and the traffic, in
coals alone, will give a net return of 10 per cent,

It is proposed to raise the required capital in 200,000 shares of
251. each ; deposit 21. 12s. 6d. per share, the subsequent calls to be
made in the usual way. '
The customary clauses will be inserted in the Act, limiting the
liability of the shareholders to the amount of their respective
shares. •
Interest, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum will be allowed
on all calls between the passing of the Act and the opening of tha
railway,
Prospectuses, with fuller information and in detail, together
with Forms of Application, may be obtained on applying to the.

NEWCASTLE AND LONDON COAL•

RAILWAY. - The Committee of Management, with the view of enabling re-
sponsible parties (desirous to participate in the allotment) to secure;
at least some shares in this great undertaking, will permit the pay-
ment of a preliminary deposit of 10s. 6d. per share previous to ap-:
plication being made; and will guarantee that the parties so paying
shall have shares allotted them, to at least the number upon which
the sum paid by them as a preliminary deposit shall cover the full;
deposit of 21. 12s. 6d. They, however, reserve to themselves the
right of limiting this .privilege to the extent of 100 shares, if a
larger number should be applied for, or even of refusing it, in cases
where they may find on inquiry that the applicant is not in their.
judgment eligible to be a shareholder; in such cases the deposit
will be immediately returned ; nor will this privilege be extended
beyond the deposition of 100,000 shares, after which the bailker
of the Company will receive instructionsto refuse further prelimi
nary deposits.
The preliminary de; rits must be paid to the bankers of thi
Company, who will furnish a receipt for the same. The Conti
mittee caution the public not to negotiate such receipts, as their
undertaking to supply the shares holds good only so far as ti
applicants, upon their references being examined into, prove to:.
spectable and responsible. They particularly request that eacii
applicant for shares who avails himself of this privilege will state,
in his application, the amount of the deposit he has paid, and the
number of the bankers' receipt.
