The object of this undertaking is to open a direct line of rail.
way to connect the Southern, Eastern, and South Essex Railways,
by means of a steam ferry from Tilbury Fort to Gravesend, with
Tonbridge Wells, Lewes, and Brighton.
It is contemplated to proceed from the Eastern Counties Railway
at or near Harlow station to Tilbury, crossing the river by a steam
floating bridge to Gravesend, passing by Wrotham to Tonbridge,
thence by the South-Eastern Railway to Tonbridge 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 import-
ance 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 conjuction
with the railways now in progress on the Continent, the shortest
possible route to Paris and the 'Mediterranean.
By this railway the large pripulation of the northeastern coun-
ties, numbering nearly two millions, will have a direct and easy
communication with the whole of the populous and important
counties of Kent and Sussex, without going round to London, and
thereby avoiding the inconvenience arising from the unconnected
lines north and south of the metropolis.
The utility of this line to the naval and military service, both in
times of peace and war, fr,r the conveyance of troops. and stores, is
evident.

end have promised their entire sanction to, and still cordially
support it.

The ground has been carefully surveyed, and found to present
no difficulties to the formation of a good working line.
The existing local trardc has been ascertained to be amply suf-
ficient to fulfil the requirements of the undertaking; but a large
accession of valuable traffic cannot fail to be the result of the in.
creased accommodation thus afforded to the public, and rendering
the undertaking one of the most irr,portant as well as productive
lines of railway in that part of the country.
The Committee reserve power to themselves to form a branch
from Wrotham to Chatham.

The liability of the sharebol ders will be restricted by Act of
Parliament to the amount or 'their subscriptions, and power will

the projected line is to run, hitherto destitute of this now indispen-
sable mode of transit.

The project known by the name of " The Buckinghamshire Rail-
way and Oxford and Wolverton Junction" is announced in their pro-
spectirs as being under• the direction and superintendence of the Lon-
don arid Birmingham Railway Company, as their lessee; in perpetuity,
receiving four per cent. on the outlay, with a conditional arrange-
ment as to the surplus profit.

From this arrangement it must be obvious to every one that the
monopoly of the London and Birmingham Company, which it was a
principal object to destroy, is more strongly secured than before, and
the profits which would accrue to an independent line, after payment
of the 41. per cent. interest, is virtually thrown into their hands.
In addition to this, the arrangement to make use of the termini of
the London and Birmingham Company, together with a considerable
portion of their line, reduces the Buckinghamshire Railway in fact to
a mere extension of the older cc mpany , and confers on the latter the
means of absolutely and entirely controlling the traffic, and conse-
quently the profits, of the projected line ; so that the reservation as
to the surplus profits in truth amounts to nothing.
The adoption of the projected Buckinghamshire Railway by the
London and Birmingham Company proves their con4ciou6ne.ss of the
necess.ty of a railway communication through the country proposed
to be traversed; and to prevent a coEtinuance of their monopoly,
OW to secure both to shareholders and to parties locally interettcl
tne benefits of an independent line, the present Comdany has been
formed, and has met with the strenuous support of many landed pro-
prietors in the counties through which it will pass, who have hitherto
withheld their co-operation from the Buckinghamshire Railway
Company for the reasons enumerated.
The line will proceed through or near to Uxbridge, by the Valley
of Chalfont, to Amersham and Wendaver, and thence to Aylesbury,
by Winslow, to Buckingham. It will take a course from thence
through Brockley and Banbury, by Leamington and Warwick, to
Birmingham, having the advantage of being the shortest route
hitherto proposed between Binniogham awl London.
Applications for shares, in the annexed fizm, may be made to the
Secretary, at the temporary Offices of the Company, or to Messrs.
Edward Ellis and Co., Sharebrokers, 53, Threadneedle-street.
FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

Buckinghamshire Railway Company.

October,9, 1844.

Sir,—For the last three or four years I have been labouring under
a nervous deafness, so much so at times as to be almost Incapable el
hearing. After trying several very eminent aurists, from whom I de-
rived scarcely any relief, I was induced at the solicitation of a friend,
to try your excellent Eye Snuff. I accordingly procured one of your
4s. 4d. canisters, after taking which I found considerable benefit, so
much so that I sent for two more, which, having used, I found my
hearing completely restored, and I have not been deaf since. I should
mention that the time I commenced taking your Eye Snuff was in
April last, and have continued taking it since..—l am, Sir, your °be-

dtent servant,

" The various positions of Lover, Husband, and Parent, the in-
herent privileges of mankind, are frequently marred and prevented
through the follies and frailties of early indiscretions. To such, among
others, this Essay addresses itself; and by its perusal many questions
may be satisfactorily adjusted that admit of no appeal even to the
most confidential friend."—Stafford Gazette,
"Long experience in the treatment of a class of diseases hitherto
neglected and most imperfectly understood by the great bulk of the
medical profession, has enabled the writer to prove that there are
concealed causes of Nervous Debility in existence, where the mere
routine practitioner would never dream of finding them; traceable
to certain habits, forming the most secret, yet deadly, and fatal
springs of domestic misery, and premature mortality."—Wakefield
