THE PROJECTED NORWICH and WEST
NORFOLK RAILWAY, by the valley of the Wensum.
We, the undersigned (owners and occupiers of land, in the district
proposed to be traversed by the above Railway, and in its immediate
neighbourhood), do hereby give notice, that we have come to a re-
solution to oppose the above project by all means in our power, as
we are of opinion that the entire division of West Norfolk will be
much better supplied with railway accommodation by the projected
NORWICH AND DEREHAM DIRECT RAILWAY, In connexion
with the Lynn and Derehast Railway, and the projected line from
Dereham to Fakenham and Wells ; and we are also of opinion that
the DEREIIAM DIRECT LINE is entitled to the decided pre-
ference of the public, from the additional advantages which it affords
as a direct communication from Norwich, not only to the ports of
Lynn and Wells, but also to the northers districts of the kingdom.

SOLICITOR/.
Mr. Wiliam Barker I New-street, Hudderstlidd.
Messrs. Brook and Freeman

The object of this undertaking is to form a continuous line of rail-
way from Leeds to Liverpool, by extending the ',ince already made,
or sanctioned by Parliament, from their respective termini at Hud-
dersfield, in Yorkshire, and Bury, for which extension a line of rail-
way only 25 miles in length is requisite. The proposed line will com-
mence at the Huddersfield station, between which place and Leeds.
Parliament has already sanctioned the formation of railways, and
from Huddersfield the proposed linewiliproceed by way of Hillhouse'
Birchencliffe, and Lindley, and thence along the valley between
Stainland and Greetland, through Bark'sland, the Yale ofitipponden,
and by Rochdale to Bury, in Lancashire, where it will join the ter-
minus of the Liverpool and Bury line of railway.
_ .

In addition to completing a silrect communication from Liverpool
to Leeds, Mull, and Goole, by the shertest practicable route, and by
a much smaller outlay of capital, than Ly any ether proposed line, it
will provide for a large and important manufacturing pop•ilation,
hitherto without the advantage of railway accommodation, an outlet
to the south by means of the Huddersfield and Sheffield Junetien
Railway, and to Manchester and to North aid South Lancashire by
the railways above mentioned, and by the Leeds and Manchester
Railway, by a proposed junction therewith at Rochdale.
This line, when completed, will, ii addition to the advantages
which it presents as a through line, pass through a succession of ♦al-
leys thickly studded with mills and manutacteries, consuming a
large quantity of raw materials and coal, all of which are brought
from a distance, and transmitting to other districts the produce of
their industry, for which purposes a line of railway has become ab-
solutely necessary, and there can be no doubt that si ample return
will be realised for the outlay of capital required.
The distines between Huddersfield and Rochdale by the present
line of railway is thirty miles, which by the proposed railway will be
reduced to seventeen miles.
The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the right of enter-
ing into any arrangements with existing railway companies that may
appear desirable. And power will be taken by the Act of Parliament
to allow Interest to the shareholders at the rate of 41. per cent. per
annum on the amounts paid on their shares from the respective times
of payment to the tines of opening the railway.
Applications for shares may be addressed, in the subjoined form, to
any of the undermentioned Sharebrokers, ♦is.—Messrs. Hill, Fawcett
and Hill, Threadneedle-street, London; Mr. David Kinnear, Edin-
burgh ; Messrs. W. Moore and Co., Messrs. J. Gatliff and Co.,

PRELIMINARY NOTICE.

EXETER, TIVERTON, AND MINE-
HEAD DIRECT RAILWAY, 'with extension from Minehead
to Ilfracombe.

(Provisionally Registered.)
Capital, 1,600,0001., in 64,000 Shares of 251. each.
Deposit, 21. 12s. 6d. per Share.

This railway will pass from the city of Exeter, through the
rich valley of the Exe, via Siiverton and Bickleigh, direct to
Tiverton, one of the chief towns of this important district, and
formerly the principal market and manufactming town of the west
of Englard. It will administer largely to the•prosperity of this
rich and productive country, and will pass from Tiverton, by Blimp-
ton; Dulverton, and Dunster, to the port of Minchead in the Bristol
Channel, opposite Landaff, Swansea, and Cardiff, item whence the
produce of the rich mines and quarries of Merthyr Tydvil, Ponty-
pool, and Newport, in Wales, can be transferred by the shortest
route to the English markets. From Minehead it will pass by
Porlock and Combe-Marten to the much-frequented watering-place
of Ilfracombe, where it smiles with the Barnstaple and Ilfracombe
Railway. At Minehead it will also join the Bridgewater and Mine-
head Railway, to which it will serve as an important feeder, connect-
ing tha towns on the north coast of Devon directly with the great
western trunk railroads passing from London to the Land's End. It
will also form a very short and direct junction of the Bristol and
English Channels.

A mix* valuable and important line'. a the country which it will
traverse could not be projected. A list of the Provisional Committee
will be published in a few days ; and in the meantime further infor-
mation may be obtained, and applications for shares may be made

This railway will connect the east and west coasts, and form
direct route from the ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood-on-Wyre, aid
Lancaster, to Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Commencing at Lancaster, it
will proceed up the valley of the Lune, by Kirkby Lonsdale, Sedbergk,
and Kirkby Stephen, and thence by the most practicable line to New-
castle. It will run nearly parallel with the old coach road, which
has hitherto bees the principal passenger route from Lancaster to
Newcastle.

It will readily be conceded that great benefits will flow from a
direct railway communication between the coal-fields and mining
districts of Durham and Northumberland, and the Impirtant towns
and ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood, Newcastle, and Lancaster.
The entire length of the line is rich in mineral productions—coal,
slate, limestone, marble, and ether elements of a great local traffic
abound, and cannot fail to make this one of the most remunerative
projects of the day. 1 considerable saving of distance between the
important towns en the termini is effected over any existing or pro-
jected scheme.
It will be reserved to the Committee of Management to make such
alteratiens in the line, or the sawmat of capital required, or other-
wise, as may be deemed most advantageous to the interests of the
Company. Power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate
of four per cent. on the calls from the passing of the Act to the
opening of the line, as well as to limit the liability of the shareholders
to the amount of their subscriptions only.
Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be bad of the
Solicitors, and of the following brokers:—

The chief objects of this Company are to carry into effect a condi-
tional arrangement entered into with Mons. Hanate for the purchase
of his patent for all Europe, and to sell licenses to use it.
The promoters confidently believe that the atmospheric system of
Mons. Haßette is the most perfect and economical that has been in-
vented for propulsion en railways and canals, and in this opinion
they are supported by that of many eminent men of 'clones and ex-
perienced engineers.

By the arrangement entered into with the inventor, the depeeit
will be more than will be requiret until a contract to us. the
patent on a railway has been actually signed. The rlak, therefore,
will be small.

The object of this undertaking is to open a direct line of railway
to connect the Northern, Eastern, and South Essex Railways, by
means of a steam-ferry from Tilbury Fort to Gravesend, with Tun-
bridge Wells, Lewes, and Brighton.
It is contemplated to proceed from the Eastern Counties hallway
at or near Harlow station to Tilbury, crossing the river by a steam
floating-bridge to Gravesend, passing by Cobham, Snodland, Mall-
ing, and Hadlow, to Tunbridge, thence by the South-Eastern Railway
to Tunbridge Wells, passing Uckfleld to Lewes, and thence joining
the Brighton, Lewes, and Hastings Railway to Brighton.
An inspection of the map will clearly show the great Importance of
this railway, whether considered in a local or national point of view,
forming, as it will, a most useful chain of local communication for
the fertile and populous tracts through which it passes.
It will bring the Northern and Eastern Counties, the mouth of the
Thames, and North Kent, into direct communication, by way of
Brighton, with Dieppe and Havre, and thus form, in sonjenction
with the railways now in progress on the Continent, the shortest
possible route to Paris and the Mediterranean.

By this railway the, large population of the north-eastern coun-
ties, numbering nearly two millions, will have a direct and easy com-
munication with the whole of the populous and important egunties of
Kent and Sussex, without going round to London, and thereby
avoiding the inconvenience arising from the unconnected lines north
and smith of the metropolis.

The utility of this line to the naval and military service, both in
times of peace and war, for the conveyance of troops and stores, is
evident.

With the existing railways and those now in progress in Kent and
Sussex, a most complete system of local communication will be
effected ; and as such, the project has been received with the most
distinguished approbation and pledges of support from the principal
proprietors alcug the line, and the corporation of Gravesend hays
promised their entire sanction to, an.l will cordially support it.
The ground has been carefully surveyed, and found to present no

accommodation thus afforded to the public, and rendering the under-
taking one of the most important as well as productive lines of rail-
way in that part of the country.
The Committee reserve power to themselves to form branches from
Snodland to Chatham and Maidstone.

The liability of the Shareholders will be restricted by Aet of Par-
liament to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be ap-
plied for In the Bill to allow interest at lowr per cent. per annum on
all calls, from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line.
