SECRETARY (pro tem.)—Mr. Thomas Reynolds, Office, 7, Lothbury.
This Line of Railway is projected for the purpose as well of esta-
blishing a communication by railway along the coast of an important
maritime district, as of affording to the rich grazing and agricultural
divisions of the county of Lincoln a more cheap and ready access to
the London and Yorkshire markets, and of completing the eastern
chain of railway communication through this important county.
The advantages offered to the graziers and cattle traders of that
part of Lincolnshire which supplies both the London and Yorkshire
markets with so large a proportion of fat stock, and to the towns of
Louth, Wainfleet, Alfonl, and Spilsby, by providing a more curt sin
and ready transit for manufactured goods and articles of merchan-
dise, cannot be estimated MD .

The productive districts around these towns would also fully partici-
pate in the advantages of this communication with the manufacturing
and large consuming towns of Yorkshire, to which nearly the entire
produce of corn and wool from such districts Is now transmitted by a
materially lnyd to depress
place such
ct hhe price
produceoaft producereat the
water carriage, so tedious, expensive, and uncertain of delivery, as
marketsdisadvantageas compared
oonfl
ptahreesde
with that of other markets possessingggreater facilities oftransit.
.
A very considerable return-traffic in coals from the Yorkshire
Coal-fields would be • obtained, and this article of absolute necessity,
at present supplied to the population of
this part of the country, at an
expense seriously increased by the difficulties of carriage, would be
afforded at a greatly reduced price.
Independently of these local advantages, it is impossible to over-
rate those of a more general, and even national character, connected
with the projected Improvements of the port of Great Grimsby, the
locality of which (at the mouth of t.: e Humber) affords fteilittes su-
perior to any other port with reference to the Baltic and llamburgh
trades, or to the malls between Loudon and the Northern Continental
ports.
In the article of fish alone (in the transit of which every hour's
delay is of so much importance), it is calculated that a great pro-
portion of tile supply front the Northern Seas would necessarily be'
transmitted to the metropolis through this line.
The line has also the important advantage of the cordial approval
and support of the principal landed proprietors through whose estates
it will pass.
The country is peculiarly favourable, and the cheap construction,
and the excellent gradients of the.line, will permit of its being worked
at as low a cost as any in the kingdom.
The Committee
of Direction have authority to increase or reduce
the Capital, and generally to adopt such measures as they may think
necessary to f
for obtaining the requisite Parliamentary powers form a
Company for the construction of the entire railway, or any portion
thereof with such branches and extensions as the • may hereafter
find expedient, and to apply the deposits
in discharge of any liabilities
which they may incur under the general powers vested in them for
the prosecution of the undertaking.
No Shares will be allotted except to parties giving satisfactory re-
ferences, and such applications to be addressed to the liecretary or
Solicitors.
To prevent trouble to all parties, no other applications will be
attended to. " .
Application for Shares to be made to the solicitors according to the

JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY

Provisionally regist. red.
NOTICE TO THE SHAREHOLDERS.
The extensive and influential support which has been given to this
Company, and the cordial feeling in its favour pervading the districts
through which the line is intended to run, have induced the Com-
mittee to accede to a generally expressed wish of the inhabitants on
the proposed line, that they should be prepared, if hereafter found
necessary, to enlarge their original scheme, so as to offer to the
public the advantage of a new and perfectly independent line from
London to Exeter.
With this view the Committee have adopted measures by which
'they will be enabled to commence their line at Staines or Richmond,
should the lines to those places, now before Parliament, receive the
sanction of the Legislature, and from thence to proceed by way of
Bagshot, Basingstoke, and Andover, to Salisbury and Yeovil, instead
of commencing the line at Basingstoke.
With regard to an extension from Yeovil to Exeter, the Com-
mittee have no intention of competing with the present Exeter,
Yeovil, and Dorchester Company; but in the event of their failing to
carry out their scheme, this Company will be ready to make the ex-
tension to Exeter.
In reference to the important question of the broad and narrow
gauges, the Committee consider it expedient at present to leave it
entirely open. It is obvious that, if the line were to commence at
Basingstoke, two alternatives wo to present themselves ; first, that
of constructing it on the narrow guage, and, in that case, of adopting
the line of the South-Western Company from London to Basingstoke,
or, secondly, of constructing it on the broad guage, and of traversing
the Great Western main line and its branch from Reading to Basing-
stoke. . .
The advantage of an entirely independent line appears, however, to
be paramount. Such a line would afford the Government the means
of bringing the South Western and Great Western Companies within
the soope of the Railway Act of last session, as to the power of pur-
chase and revision, and thus protect the public from the effects of
powerful monopoly. he Board. of Trade's report on the London,
Worcester, and Wolverhampton, and Birmingham and Shrewsbury
districts, attaches much weight to all reasonable guarantees against
monopoly which may be offered by existing companies. In that do-
cument it is stated that the London and Birmingham Railway Com-
pany, on condition of obtaining their Rugby line, have offered to allow
the following clauses to be inserted in their Act, viz.:-
1. The whole Of the railways under their control, including the
existing London and Birminghavi Railway, to become subject to the
options ortevision nod purchase contained in the Act of last year ;
'the option of revision, however, at ten rer cent., to accrue at an
earlier period than that of twenty years, specified in the Act.

.
2. A revised tariff to be fr.-med for the whole of the said railways,
Including the London and Birmingham Railway, upon the principle
of fixing maximum rates for passengers and g: ods lower than those
at present charged, and at as 14w a level as those charged upon any
of the principal northern railways
3. One article of such tariff to be, that coals and iron are to be
carried at rates not exceeding Id. per ton per mile, including toll and
locomotive power.
4. All differences with other railway companies, by which the
public safety or convenience .re affected, to be referred to the Board
of Trade, or other competent authority for that purpose established
by Parliament.
5. The London and Birmingham Company to pledge tits whole
revenue of their existing line for the completion of the proposed un-
dertaking within a reasonable time.

The Committee look forward with confidence to the adoption of
their scheme, more especially as the Board of Trade has stated in
their report on the Hampshire, Wilts, and llorset district, that there
is nothing in the present settlement between the Great Western and
the South-Western Companies to prevent such a line as that now
proposed from being brought forward, either by tho South-Western
Company or by other parties.
The Committee have therefore determined to apply to Parliament
for power to commence their line at Staines or Richmond, thereby
securing a most advantageous metropolitan terminus at the Hun-
gerford station.
On the final adoption of the extended scheme, the capital will be
proportionably increased, and in the allotment of the additional
shares a preference given to approved holders of the existing scrip.
By order of the Committee.

The proposed line is intended to commence at a point on the Great
North of England Railway, near Northallerton, taking part of the
branch line to Richmond, now before Parliament, and diverging from
it a short distance east of its terminus, thence following the south
side of the Tees Valley, up the Greta, over the line of the ancient
Roman way to Brough, forward within a short distance of Kirkby
Stephen, through the rich valley of the Eden, by way of Appleby,
and to join the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway near to Clifton, south
of Penrith. Diverting from this line, southward of Stainmore, a
branch will proceed through Ravenstonedale to join the Lancaster
and Carlisle Railway between Orton and Borrow Bridge. The direc-
tion of the proposed line is north-west, following the mall-coach
route from York to Carlisle, and involving thh least sacrifice of
distance in.,connecting together the two great trunk lines of rail-
way, the eastern and western sides of the island.
The distance from Northallerton to Penrith will be sixty-one miles;
of this fifty-five miles will be new railway, which, with tho branch
to:Orton, seventeen additional miles, will form a total distance of
seventy-two miles.
The capital will be 1,500,0601., in 30,000 shares of fifty pounds
each. One-third-500,0001.—0f which is placed at the disposal of the
Lancaster and Carlisle Board, to be appropriated amongst the parties
interested in that Company. The revenue will be derived from pas-
sengers travelling from all the eastern districts of the island south of
Darlington to Scotland, and from the counties of Durham and na--
thumberland to Lancashire, and the west of England, and Ireland.
In addition to the proceeds from passengers and goods, a very large
income will accrue from the extensive mineral resources of the
country. A better access will be made to the Lead Mines of Mid-
dleton-in-Teesdale, and to those in Westmorland. The line will
run near a largo district of iron-stone, and become the channel fur
the coal of Durham to pass into East Cumberland, Westmorland,
the north-west of Yorkshire, and Lancashire aorta of the Wyre. It
will form a junction between the Baltic ports of the Wear and the
Tees and the western ports of Lancaster, Fleetwood, and Liverpool.
To increase the traffic to these large importing harbours, new docks
are now making at Hartlepool, and the Tees river has been declared
a " free port" to all vessels.
There are no canals in the district, and no direct competing rail-
ways. The local traffic Is now conveyed by carts, while the through
traffic is conveyed from 31aneliester to Newcastle) by York on the
one hand, or by Carlisle on the other. Stainmore is the route fer the
agricultural produce of Cumberland passing into the colliery and
mining districts of Durham.
The general traffic has been estimated to yield an adequate return
for the proposed capital.
For the purpose of securing the coal trade a Branch will be made
from West Auckland to the line between Greta Bridge and Bowes.
This Branch will connect Barnard Castle with the Coal District as
well as give to that town a road to the south-west and to the north.
At West Auckland the Durham coal-field is already open in every
direction by railways already formed.
The usual clause will be inserted in the Act, for limiting the liability
of Shareholders to the amount of their respective Shares.
Application for Shares to be made, on r before Thursday, the
Ist of May, to John Whitwell, Esq., Honorary Secretary, Kendal, or
to the Solicitors, as above.

Notice is hereby given, a COMTANY is FORMING, and that
application will be made in the Etsuing. Session of Parliament for
Acts authorising the CONSTRUCTION of TWO LINES of RAIL-
WAY, one of them commenchlg at Buxton, passing by Ashford and
Bakewell, and t rrninating by a Junction with the proposed Man-
chester, Sheffield, and Midland Junction Railway, at or near Wood-
seats; and the other commencing at Matlock, and joining the pro-
posed Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland Junction Railway, at or
near Chesterfield.

Independently of the large local passenger traffic which these lines
will secure, a considerable revenue will be derived from the con-
veyance of agricultural prod
And also of marble, limestone, And
lead ore, in which the district abounds; and they will also furnish
the most direct and economical route for the conveyance of the coals
from the Dronfield, Unstone, Newbold, and Chesterfield coal-fields to
the towns and villages of North Derbyshire..
The promoters have ascertained that the traffic which must neces-
sarily pass over these Lines will be highly remunerative, and in the
formation of them due regard will be paid to the interests of the
Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland Junction, and the Manchester
And Buxton Extension, or Wye Valley Companies—to the Proprie-
tors of which Lines a preference will be given in the allotment of
Shares.

ROYAL CANDLES-PERFECTED.
These Candles are perfected—no objection now exists. Yes ;
Royal Candles, and their positive superiority is established!
Numerous Imitators have already arisen ; and certainly these Imita-
tions have some resemblance to ordinary Composite Candles. But
composite and rubbish have had their day, and Royal Candles hence
will lead the way. A pure white flame ! They snuff themselves, are
as hard as alabaster, purer than wax, glossy as glass, and cheap as
common tallow candles, is their true character. "Their equal is un-
known—their superior will never corne." All Imitation candles kept
on show, that the Public may see their inferiority to Royal Candles.
Only Is. per lb. The genuine to be had only at CLARK'S DEPOT,
447, West Strand. Please write down the address.
