This Railway is projected to supply the connexion still wanting
between Kendal and Cockermouth, Kendal and lllverston, and
Keswick and Penrith. It will link the Furness Railways with
the Kendal and Windermere and the Lancaster and Carlisle Railways
at Kendal, and will further connect these with the Cockermouth
and Workington and Whitehaven and Maryport lines of Railway,
uniting again as a second point- of junction the Lancaster and Car-
lisle Railway at Penrith, and thus embracing all the frequented sta-
tions In the lake district, and accommodating the greatest amount of
population. The length of railway to be constructed. by this Com-
pany will be 63 miles, namely, from Cockermouth via Keswick to
Windermere, 33 miles; from Keswick to Penrith, 15 ; and from Win-
dermere to Furness, 15 miles ; and the surveys of the country prove
the line to be free from difficulty, and the gradients unexceptionable.
A prescribed interest in the projcct will be reserved for the Pro-
prietors in the Kendal -and Windermere and Cockermouth and

SECRETAAY, PAO TEAI:—Mr. John

The object of this undertaking is to effect the most direct and com-
prehensive line of communication, by means of existing and projected
railways—the Manchester, Buxton, and Ambergate, the North Der-
byshire Union, and the Manchester, Sheffield, mid Midland Junction
Lines, between the Potteries, the iron districts of Staffordshire and
Shropshire, Cheshire, North Wales, Holyhead, Sheffield, the Ports of
Gainsborough, Grimsby and Hull, North Derbyshire, and the whole
of the West Riding of the County of York.
Independent of the thorough traffic, which will necessarily be con-
siderable, the local traffic is alone sufficient to justify the construc-
tion of this line, and the sromoters feel themselves warranted in
stating, that from a careful estimate of traffic on data accurately
taken, a profit of at least tell per cent, wilt be realised, after deduct-
ing forty per cent. for working expenses.
By this line of railway, the great quarries of limestone at Buxton
and the neighbourhood (which have been proved to be the best for
all purposes), will be thrown open to the Staffordshire and Shrop-
shire iron works (where 2,000,000 tons are consumed annually in the
fluxion of iron), as well as to other parts, and no doubt wilt form a
great source of profit to the Company.
It will also open the shortest and best line for the conveyance of
salt from the Cheshire salt works, and also of the Staffordshire and
Shropshire pig iron, and pottery ware, to the ports of Gainsborough,
Grimsby and Hull, and to Sheffield, and the manufacturing districts
of Yorkshire. It also throws open the great lead,
copper, iron, and
slate mines in North and South Wales. The extensive coal fields of
Norton-in-the-Moors (about six miles from Leek), through which
the line passes, and will thereby afford to Buxton and other places in
Derbyshire, a cheap and abundant supply of excellent coal at a
greatly reduced cost.
In addition to the large mineral traffic which this line will possess,
the conveyance of merchandise will form a source of considerable
profit. Besides the general passenger traffic, there must in the stun-
mer months be a great accession of visitors from Ireland, North and
South Wales, Chester, and the Staffordshire Potteries to Buxton,
Bakewell, Chatsworth, Matlock, Dovedale, &c., to which places it
has been proved that 90,000 persons annually resort for the benefit
of their health, and on pleasure excursions.
Companies have been formed to make a line of railway from Shef-
field to Buxton, and Stoke-upon-Trent to Crewe, and Norton-bridge, to
join the Grand Junction Railway, with each of which Companies the
Committee are in communication, and arrangements will be made
with them so that the proposed Company will only have to make
the connecting link between the two places, namely, from Buxton to
Stoke-upon-Trent, to complete the entire line.
The distance to be made by this Company is nearly 22 miles; and
the engineering character is such as to justify the promoters in de-
claring the proposed capital amply sufficient for its construction, and
for sudh mineral branches as the district may require.
Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at 41. per cent
per annum upon all deposits and calls until the opening of the line.
The liability of Subscribers will of course be limited by the Act of
Parliament to the amount of their respective shares.
In the allotment of Shares a preference will be given to parties
locary interested ; and such applicants as have shares in the Man-
chester, Buxton, and Amber Gate, Manchester, Sheffield, and Mid-
land Junction, and Derby and Crewe Companies, are requested to
state that circumstance in their applications, but none can be re-
ceived unless accompanied by a reference to some party of known
respectability.
Applications for shares in the following form may be made to

SHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY.
(Provisionally Registered.)
The importance of a direct line of railway from the City of York
to the port of Hull, which shall, at the same time, give the greatest
extent of accommodation to the intermediate district, now wholly de-
prived of the means of railway transit, is so apparent, that a com-
pany has been formed for the construction of a line,•eommencing by a
junction with the London and York, and Leeds and York Railways, at
or near York, to the towns of Pocklington, Market Wcighton, Bever-
ley, and terminating at the extensive East Docks, now in course
of construction at Hull, with a branch from the main line, com-
mencing at or near Market Weighton, to Selby, thus affording
the shortest and most direct communication from Newcastle and the
whole of the north of England, as well as from Skipton, Cothe, Otley,
and the northern part of Lancashire, by the proposed Lancashire and
Yorkshire North-Ea.s' ern Railway, to the important port of Hull, and
at the same time forming a complete connexion between the several
towns of York, Hull, Beverley, Driffield, Bridlington, Market Weigh-
ton, Pocklington, and Selby.

and Lancashire.
The proposed branch from Market Weighton to Selby will give to
a rich and very highly cultivated Portion of the East Riding the
shortest line for the transmission of its agriculural produce to the
markets of Leeds, Wakefield, and the consuming districts, and secure
the return of coals, lime, and manures, at a greatly reduced cost ;

This project' is intended to form the most direct communication
between the important grazing country of the Lincolnshire-Marshes
and the large manufacturing and consuming districts of the Midland
and Northern Counties ; and to establish an immediate connexion
between the East Coast and South Wolds of Lincolnshire, and the
various coal fields in Yorkshire, Derbykhire, and Staffordshire,
thereby facilitating the export of corn, wool, cattle, and other agri-
cultural produce, and the import of coal, timber, stone, slate, seeds,
oil-cake, and artificial manures.
By this line (in communication with other railways), Birmingham,
Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Wakefield, Nottingham,
Derby, Stafford, the Potteries, and other important manufacturing
towns, Will be placed in direct connexion with Hamhurgh, Rotter-
dam, Antwerp, and the principal seaports of the north of Europe ;
between which places and Wainfleet the voyage will be several hours
shorter than from either Hull or Grimsby.
There is a good passenger traffic generally throughout the line,
swelled by the large and numerous fairs, held at Lincoln, Horneastle,
Spilsby, Partney, Burgh; and Wainfleet (for horses, cattle, and
sheep), and by the visitors to Skegness, one of the principal watering
places on the Lincolnshire coast, the whole of which will be mate-
rially increased by railway accommodation.
The hnprovement of the extensive harbour of Wainfleet Haven,
and the forming there a perfect shipping station for the manufactur-
ing districts, is one of the important features in this undertaking.
This haven possesses natural roadsteads of a superior description,
offering a safe anchorage for shipping of any burthen, in 24 feet of
water, at ebb tide, close to the shore at Gibraltar Point.' Any num-
ber cf ships can ride safely at anchor; and large fleets of merchant-
men frequently resort thither for safety 'during „the prevalence of
northerly gales, an advantage imperfectly possessed by both Hull and
Grimsby; added to which, a great saving will be effected in the Cus-
tom, dock, and harbour dues, as well as In pilotage and insurance.
No sea works of any magnitude will be required.
The length of the proposed line will be about 40 miles, and the
country does not present any engineering difficulties.
No railway in existence or in contemplation provides accom-
modation for the district of country through which this line will
pass. Application has been made to the principal landowners on the
line, and no objection is anticipated. •
A portion-of the Shares will be reserved for parties locally inter-
rested, and the remainder will be allotted to persons giving un-
exceptionable references. No Shareholder will be liable beyond his
subscristion. •
The Subscribers' AgreeMent will contain powers to the Provisional
Committee to run into other railways now or hereafter to be made,
and to alter the termini of the proposed line, so that the main ob-
ject of the scheme be carried out.'
Applications for shares, in the subjoined form, may be made to the
solicitors and to the following sharebrokers :—Mr. King, 3, Bar-

The object of this undertaking is to effect a cheaper and more
direct communication between Hull and the manufacturing districts,
connecting the Great . Midland and the Sheffield and Manchester
Railways with the Hull and Selby Railway, by a short route from
Barnsley to Selby orilowden, or some other point on the Hull and
Selby line.
Hull now ranks as Sie.third Port in the kingdom, and is the great
outlet to Northern Europe. Its present capacious Docks are situate
in immediate connexion with the railway terminus. Under the
powers of au Act obtained in the session of 1844, two extensive docks
are hi course of construction, one of them expressly intended to meet
the rapidly increasing wants of the railway.. With these present and
immediate prospective adVantages, it is obviously of the utmost im-
portance to secure for Hul:the most direct communication with the
. manufacturing districts, especially as strenuous efforts are being made
to divert the stream of traffic into other channels.
The existiug communication veitlithe larger portion of those dis-
tricts is very circuitous, and is, moreover, subject to numerous ob-
structions. But the slightest inspection of a railway map will show
that this projected line running fivm Barnsley to the Hull and Selby
Railway at eelby or Howden will afford the most direct practicable
communication between Hull and the whole of South Lancash're,
Cheshire, Staffordshire, and Wales, with their rich mineral and in-
.dustrial productions ; the remaining link, which will unite the line
With Penistone on the Sheffield and Manchester Railway, it is anti
cipated will be carried out by that Coinpany, but, if otherwise, it will
form part of the proposed undertaking. By the aid of these
connecting lines, and others projected, the shortest, cheapest,
and best possible communication will be effected between
Manchester and its manufacturing suburbs with the great
shipping port for • Northern Europe. Not only will the dis-
tricts already mentioned benefit by and become tributary to the
proposed undertaking—but by its Junction with the Great Midland
at Barnsley, it will open a much more direct communication with the
Mineral Districts in the Midland Counties, such as those around
Birmingham and Sheffield, Leicester and Nottingham, Derby and
Belper, and by its communication with the Wakefield, Pontefract,
and Goole Railway it will shorten the distance to Wakefield and the
populous manufacturing Towns in that District of the West Riding.
Under these circumstances, it is obvious that the proposed Hull and
Barnsley Junction Railway must command a most important Traffic,
and as the country over which it will pass is a very easy one, and for
the most part quite level, there can be no doubt that it will prove a
first-class undertaking; and, when viewed as completing the most
direct Trunk Line between Liverpoool • on tee West Coast and
Hull on the East, it may justly be regarded as an uneertaking of a
national character. No mention has been made of the traffic from
Hull to London and the South, a great portion of which must neces-
sarily pass over this Line, nor of the Silkstone Coal Fields, nor of the
supplies of food which the fertile districts of Holderncss and East
Yorkshire, and also the Fisheries along the Coast, will send by this
shorter route to Manchester, Birmingham, Sheffield, and other large
Manufacturing places, yet these of themselves would constitute
sources of traffic of the utmost importance to the project.
It is proposed to unite the Line with the Hull and Selby Railway
at Howden if no insuperable difficulty present itself, but otherwise at
Selby.
It is proposed to appropriate a large portion of the Shares to Share-
holders In the Hull and Selby Railway Company ; and in allotting
the remainder to give a preference to parties locally interested and
to Railway Comanies in friendly connexion with the intended
1.1
Power will bep sought to lease the proposed railway, if it shoe
hereafter be thought desirable, to some of the companies whose lines
will be in connexion with it.

no thither applications for shares can be received after Saturday, the
13th of September instant, until which day such applications

Its object is to preserve the mercantile connexion which has for
generations subsisted between the county of Suffolk, the town of

SOLICITORS—Messrs. W. 0. and W. Hunt, 10, Whitehall. .
The Committee of Management have determined,'with the powers
given them by the deed of the Company, to relinquish the branch
from Ludlow to Newtown, which will form a necessary part of the
Worcester and Port Dynllaen line projected by the Great Western
Railway Company, and to reduce their proposed capital from
1,250,0001. to 1,000,0001.
As the new standing order of the House of Lords will require 10
per cc:;t. of the proposed capital to be deposited, the Committee have
also determined, in order to obviate the necessity of a further call on
Shareholders before going to Parliament, to distribute the capital
into shares of 251., deposit V. 12s. 6d. ; allowing holders of the pre-
sent 501. shares to receive twice as many 251. shares, or any smaller
number they may wish (subject to approval of the names by the
Committee where their shares were not originally allotted to them),
.or if any should..wish to withdraw, returning them the deposits of
21. Iss. per share which have been paid up.
All holders of scrip certificates, or of bankers' receipts, are requested
to forward the same to the Secretary on or before SATURDAY, the 20th
of September, and to state at the same time their wishes with respect
to new Shares, by letter in the form below. All holders of Shares
notoriginally allotted to them, failing to transmit their scrip certifi-
cates on or before that day, will forfeit all benefit of their Shares, and
original Shareholders, failing by the same day to transmit their scrip
Certificates or bankers' receipts, will forfeit their right to au additional
number of Shares. Where the scrip certificates or bankers' receipts
are forwarded by ,post, the letter should be registered at the post-
office ; the Secretary will acknowledge their receipt.
The Shrewsbury and Hereferd line will be made iu cordlal co-
operation with the Great Western and South Wales Companies ; and
the Committee are happy to ho able to announce that the surveys are
being actively proceeded with. .
Six,—l hereby transmit scrip certificates of the Shrewsbury, Here-
ford, and North Wales Railway Company, Nos. , [or a banker's
receipt for shares,] anti I desire to have 25/.
shares in the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway Company, under-
taking to pay the additional' sum required to make a deposit of
21. 12s. Gd. on each of these shares, and to sign the subscpers'
adreement and Parliamentary contract when required, [or, to receive
back the deposits which have been paid.]

REPORT TO TILE ENGLISH SUBSCRIBERS

GENTLEMEN,—We regret our not be-ng able to report that we have
succeeded in our efforts to obtain for you the objects 3f our Associa-
tion ; our best energies have been devoted to the subject, but from
the altered state of the circumstances which has now arisen, our
Company, as at present constituted, is not in a position to compete
for the Lease. _ _

At the time our Company was formed, it was understood that the
Government would provide the land for the line and stations, and
possibly would undertake the earthworks. The capital we then
proposed (60 millions of francs), was considered sufficient to provide
all that the Company, under that state of circumstances, would have
required ; but after much doubt and delay, the Government have at
length d..termined that their lessees sllbull undertake thepurchase of
the land, as well as the entire construction and working of the Rail-
way. The Bill has now passed the Chambers in that form, and has
fixed the Capital at 80 millions (irrespective of the Urenoble
Branch).
Having, as we interpret our engagement to the
~fisli,:enrdi,benresr‘
neither power to undertake on their behalf the purchase
necess..
adequate funds for that larger purpose, we arc and

in the original Company, with or without one additional Share in
respect of every five original

necessary arrangements, we have prepared such forms as will enable
the Subscribers to express their wishes with convenience. They are
ready, and may be applied for at G 2, King William-street, City, be-
tween Eleven o'clock, A.m. and Three o'clock PIM.
We beg to add, that in the event of receiving at this office no corn-

posit thereon will he held subject to the order of the party entitled to
it, and it will be entirely out of our power to extend beyond the
above-mentioned day the option which we have secured for tho pre-
sent Proprietors to join the new Company.
It is right :we should express our continued 'confidence in the
merits of the undertaking, and our recommendation to the Sub-
scribers to renew their investments in the new Company.
We are, Gentlemen, your very obedient Servants,

The Committee of Manag rnent have the greatest satisfaction in
communicating, to all interested in ;ids most important line, that
they are receiving the most gratifying expressions of the deep In-
terest felt in the success of their scheme ; and assurances of the
strongest support from all persons resident In, or connected with, the
ditriet through which its course runs, as well as from the most in-
fluential merchants and mantifucturers of London and Manchester.
At a public meeting of the inhabitants of Newbury, h?ld in the Town
Hell on the Si day of the present month, unanimous resolutions were
enthusiastically passed in favour of the undertaking, which is felt by
every inhabitidit of the place and its neighbourh, od to be of most
vital importance to its_ future welfare. The engineers have again
gone over the line, and their report confirms the judgment and AUL
with which it has been laid out. The line has bean arranged so as to
meet the wishes of all the landowners and others interested along the
line, who, without a single dissentient voice, have agreed to give it
their entire support. •
The Allotment Committee beg to announce that the allotment is
complete, and that, owing to the immense number of applications
they have received, they-have been compelled to reject a great num-
ber of most unexceptionable parties; and In every other instance con-
siderably to diminish the number applied for.
The allotment litters will be pealed this evening.

September, 1845 ;
THOMAS SIMMONS, Esq., Mayor, in the chair ;
The following Resolutions were severally- carried unanimously :
Moved by the Rev. Dr. BINNET, and seconded by EDMUND SLococa,
Esq. :
That this line, known as " Bethars Line," affording the most
direct means of communication between Southampton and Didcot,
through the town of Newbury, or immediately contiguous to and
parallel therewith; is deserving of our most strenuous support, which
we accordingly undertake to give to it, as well collectively as indivi-
dually, by all legitimate means, and that our representatives in Par-
liament be respectfully requested to further the same accordingly.
Moved by the Rev. J. H. AsivOtair, and seconded by Colonel
IltatsbEtt :
That the Northern Division of the county. of Hants will acquire by
the proposed line ready access to their county town and episcopal
city, and an advantageous outlet for the productions of their district.
Moved by JOHN THOMAS WAsEr, Esq. ; and seconded by Mr.
HULBERT
:
That the contemplated line will, in its northern progress, afford
considerable accommodation to those who frequent the important
sheep markets at Esley.
Moved by E. W. GRAY, Esq. ; and seconded by CHARLES SLOCOCK,
Esq.:—
That the large population of Newbury and its neighbourhood,
which, according to a return made to Parliament, embraces 60,000
inhabitants within an area of ten miles, the abundance of the agri-
cultural produce, and the acknowledged excellence of the markets,
entitle this district to increased commercial facilities.
Moved by EDWARD WESTLAKE, Esq.; and seconded by EDWARD
SHARP, ESQ.:—
That the rapidly increasing importance of the town of Southamp-
ton demands the most speedy and direct communication with the
trading districts of the north.
Moved by ROBERT WATKINS, Esq., of London; and seconded by
SAMUEL BosunrT, Esq., of Southampton :
That the thanks of this Meeting be given to the Mayor for his a'de.

Esq., and resolved unanimously—
" That this Committee cannot but express their regret that the
Shareholders of the Belfast and County Down, and Newry, Ban-
bridge, and Belfast Junction Companies, should have been so imper-
fectly informed respecting the real state of the proceedings connected
with the proposed amalgamation, as to assume that the negotiation
with this Company was still pending—the sauce having beendn
tively concluded ; else, we conceive, they would have paused before
they repudiated an agreement formally and officially ratified, and
