This Company is formed Mr the purpose of establishing direct rail-
way communication betwessa the important ports of Hull, Great
Grimsby, and Southampton.
It is intended to effect this desirable object by the construction of
a line of railway, commencing at Lincoln, passing Grantham, Oak-
ham, Uppingliam, near to Rockingham and Rothwell, and joining
the South Midland Railway between Market Itarborough and North-
ampton; thus forming in connexion with projected lines of railway,
from Hull and Grimsby to Lincoln, and from Northampton to South-
ampton, the connecting link, in one uninterrupted chain of railway
communication, from Hull and Grimsby to Southampton, Gosport,
and Poole, and the whole of the south-western coast of England.
It will also fonn the most direct route from Hull, Great Grimsby,
mad the whole of Liheoinshire, Rutlandshire, Northamptonshire, and
part of Leicestershire, to Oxford, Banbury, Cheltenham, Gloucester,
Bristol, Exeter, and the south and west of England.
An inspection of the map will at once show the importance of this
undertaking, whether considered in a local or national point of view,
forming as it will an intimate connexion between London and the
south generally, with the fertile districts of Lincolnshire and the
adjacent counties, at present without railway accommodation;
whilst its value to the South Midland, the Northampton, Banbury,
anti Cheltenham, the London and Birmingham Railway Companies,
and the projected lines south of Northampton (to which it will form
a most profitable adjunct), must be obvious.

PROSPECTUS.

PROSPECTUS OF THE

The objects intended to be accomplished by this undertaking are
1. The formation of a direct line of railway between Hull and fae
metropolis.

2. The supply of local railway accommodation to the importan
districts embraced by the line.

3. The benefit of railway communication with the metropolit ex-
tended to a district of country, west of Grantham, upwards of 5u miles
in length at present unprovided with that accommodation.
4. The completion of the chain of railway communication between
Bristol, Gloucester, the river Severn, and the southern and western
counties, and the north-eastern districts of the kingdom and the river
Humber, and its ports, including that of Hull.
5. The connecting of the two important ports of Hull and South-
ampton by one continuous chain of railways.
Commencing at the town of Northampton, in conjunction with the
London and Birmingham, the Northampton, Banbury, and Chelten-
ham, and the other lines of railway proposed to converge at that
town from the west, from Worcester and from Warwick, the
line will proceed in a direct course to the market town of Kettering,
by which place all the companies competing for the line of railway
between London and Manchester propose to pass. It will then pro-
ceed, also, in a direct course by the market towns of lipplugham,
Oakhfun, and Grantham, to Lincoln.
The country lying between the towns of Northampton and Gran-
tham is wholly without existing or even proposed railway accommo-
dation, not only to the south, but also to the north.

_
From Lincoln the line will proceed byithe shortest and best praci
cable course to Hull.

The sources of traffic which this line will secure are various and
very considerable ; some of them only can be here enumerated.
They are,—
Starting from hull the line will appropriate to itself the whole of
the traffic thence to the Metropolis, Bristol, Southampton, Glouces-
ter, Oxford, Cheltenham, and the whole of the Southern n and Western
districts of the kingdom, and, in addition, it will secure the very im -
portant and Increasing local traffic between Hull and Lincoln and
the Intermediate towns.

In the event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not
obtaining their Act of Parliament, then the traffic from the before-
mentioned places and Lincoln to the south and west, also to the me-
tropolis, will pass along this line of railway ; the former the whole
distance, and the latter in any event to Grantham, a distance of about
twenty-five miles ; and should the London and York Company not
succeed, such traffic will proceed further toKettering or Northampton.
The entire district between Grantham and Kettering, a distance of
more than forty miles, and including the market towns of Oakham
and Uppingham, is without railway or water-carriage accommoda-
tion, and the whole of its traffic therefore will travel over this line of
railway, which will be in the direct course not only to the west but
also to London.
at Kettering this line will unite with that cue of the now com-
peting schemes passing that town from Manchester and Leicester to
London which shall be successful before Parliament.

From the singularly important advantages which this undertaking
presents to the capitalist, as well as to the public at large, the Pro-
visional Directors do not think it necessary, with reference ;to the
supposed traffic or otherwise, to say more than that they fully be-
lieve that the return will be, upon the capital required, highly re-
munerative.

The country is free from engineering difficulties, with one or two
exceptions only, and those are more than counterbalanced by the very
favourable gradients of by far the greater portion of the line ; indeed,
for many miles the line win run upon a water level.
The Hue will not interfere with any ornamental property.

The promoters have made every necessary arrangement for the
active prosecution of the undertaking, and for applying to Parlia-
ment In the ensuing session.
No call will be made, with the exception of the deposit, till the Act
is obtained, and power will be applied for in the Act of Parliament,
to allow interest at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum on all calls from
the date of their payment, and to limit the liability of each share-
holder to the amount of his subscription.
The landowners on the line are favourable to the undertaking.
The promoters reserve power to alter and vary the route, to ex-
tend the proposed line of railway to Great srimsby or elsewhere,
and to increase the amount of capital, as may be necessary or ad-
visable.

Prospectuses and Plans may be obtained on application to any of
the several Solicitors or Local Agents, the Secretary, or to the fol-
lowing Brokers, viz. : —Messrs. Peppercorns and Co., 2, Old Broad-
street ; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39, Lothbury ; or Messrs.

from London to York, also with the Leicester, Louth, and Grimsby,
the Nottingham and Lincoln, and the other proposed lines running to
Lincoln at Grantham with the Nottingham, Vale of Belvoir, and

The most direct and speedy communication between the English
and Irish capitals has been declared, by influential members of the
present and former Governments, to be a great desideratum ; and
possessing, in addition to this valuable authority, the support and
sanction of many, or nearly all, the principal noblemen, gentlemen,
and landholders in North Wales, this Company is established for the
pnrpose of ultimately forming a line of railway which will effect
this long-desired object.
The importance, nay, the necessity, of such a line has long been
felt by the public at large ; it must, therefore, be looked at not as
merely a private speculation, but also as a great national undertak-
ing, opening, as it will, facilities for the most expeditious transit be-
tween the two capitals, and at the same time offering a most direct
communication with the south of Ireland, via Wicklow, thereby
conferring an immense benefit on both kingdoms.
The proposed line will commence at Shrewsbury, by a junction
with the Birmingham and Shrewsbury Railway, and proceed thence
as nearly as possible in a straight direction to Port Dynllaen, pass-
ing through, or by, Bala, and the other principal towns on the route,
being a distance of about eighty-four miles. A very important fea-
ture in this line is, that the expense and difficulty of passing the
Menai Straits are avoided, and all impediment to navigation pre-
vented.
It is estimated that the cost of the entire line will not exceed
2,000,0001., but in consequence of the impossibility, from the nature
of the country, and the lateness of the period, of completing the
whole of the surveys in due time, it has been determined to apply to
Parliament in the ensuing session, for the first section of the line
lying between Port Dynllaen and Port Madoc, being a distance of
considered as opposing
about 24 miles; the surveys for which are nearly completed.

the application of the atmospheric system, which it Is therefore pro-
posed to adopt.
The considerations for employing the atmospheric principle are
founded not only on the strong opinion in its favour expressed in the
report of the Select Committee appointed by Parliament to examine
into its merits, but also on its peculiar suitableness to several of the
gradients to be encountered on the line, its superior speed, safety,
and economy, and its absence from the possibility of the occurrence
of those frightful accidents by collision which have so frequently
happened of late, and to which locomotive engines must ever be
liable.
The distance between Porth Dynllaen and Kingstown is only
about six and a half miles farther than between Kingstown and
Holyhead ; but in consequence of the position of the latter place,
being two or three points to leeward of the acknowledged prevailing
gales of St. George's Channel, a shorter passage can be made on an
average throughout the year from Porth Dynllaen. This is con-
firmed by Captain Beaufort, as referred to in the masterly report of
Sir John Rennie on the subject ; in which, after going into details
(coinciding in every material point wills the opinions cf Mr. Page
and others), Sir John thus concludes with a general summary of the
case In reference to Porth Dynllaen :—" That it Is two points farther
to windward than Holyhead, and, to use the expressive words of
Captain Beaufort, has a fair wind both ways, to and from Kings-
town.' This is particularly important, because it enables the pas-
sage to be made in equal, if not less time than from Holyhead,
although the distance is rather greater ; and It is not less important
to maintain the communication between the two countries during
the winter season with as much speed and as little interruption as
possible."
Taking this project in a remunerative point of view, we have to
bear in mind not only the great amount of traffic 'which it is certain
to command, when the entire line is completed, and the journey be-
ween the two capitals can be accomplished in twelve hours (thus
ensuring much of the Irish, American, and West Indian trade), but
also with other railways now in progress ; the vast mercantile traffic
it must bring, from its opening the most convenient ()Mkt for the
wealthy mineral and agricultural productions of the counties of
Caernarvon, Merioneth, Montgomery, and Denbigh.
The extensive and apparently inexhaustible quarries of Caernar-
von, Bangor, Ffestiniog-, &c., will supply all the Midland Counties
of England with slate, &c., at a much less cost than at present ;
and the carriage of the important articles of lime, coal, and colo-
nial produce to Wales, will also form an important source of revenue.
Another very hnpertant consideration presents itself in the cer-
tainty of this line being adopted for the transmission of the mails,
affording, as it assuredly will, ample facility for the dispatch of let-
ters frem either metropolis, and the return of answers within
twenty-six hours. In fact, such are the advanat:es which must ac-
crue from this undertaking, that every expectation may be enter-
tained of its receiving the most cordial approbation of the Legisla-
ture, who, during the session just closed, have shown their anxiety to
bring the postal communication in this direction.
Lower will be applied for in the Act—and in the meantime is
given to the Committee of Management—to increase the capital, if
necessary, to alter or abandon any part of the line, to make branch
lines, to enter into arrangements with any ether company or com-
panies, and generally to manage the affairs of the Company.
In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to landholders
and others loeally interested. The subscribers will be held liable
only for the amount of their first deposit, until an Act of Parliament
be obtaine I, and afterwards only to the amount of their subscrip-
tions ; and power will he applied for in the Bill to allow interest at
the rate of 41. per cent. per annum, on all calls, from the passing of
the Act until the opening of the line.

By this Company it is proposed to supply railway accommoda-
tion, through an independ.nt channel, to all the principal towns in
Buckinghamshire' and to many in the other counties through which
the projected line is to Tun, 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
spectus as being under the direction and superintendence of the Lon-
don and Birmingham Railway Company, as their lessees in perpetuity,
receiving four per cent. on the outlay, with a conditional arrange-
ment as to the surplus profit.
From this agreement 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 4/. 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 mpam , 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 consciousness of the
necessity of a railway communication through the country proposed
to be traversed; and to prevent a continuance of titer monopoly,
and to secure both to shareholders and to parties locally interested
- the benefits of an independent line, the present Company 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 Wendover, 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 Birmingham and London.

It is proposed by this Company to establish a direct line of commu-
nication between Birmingham, Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hull,
at the smallest outlay of capital, and with the least possible injury to
existing interests. To effect this object, use will be made of existing
or projected lines, as far as practicable, and the chain of communica-
tion will be completed by throwing out new lines, where requisite.
Commencing at Birmingham, it is proposed to use the Birmingham
and Derby Railway as far as Whitacre, whence a new line, about 29
miles in length, will be made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and
Castle Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid-
land Counties Railway
The communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will be
carried forward as far as Gainsborough, either by the :proposed Not-
tingham and Gainsborough Railway, or by a line sprint lug out of the
line from Nottingham to Lincoln, for which an Act wan obtained by
the Midland Counties Company during the last session. of Parliament.
From Galiaborbfigt{ this railway will proceed to Bdrton-on-the-
Humber, or New Holland, in the immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby
rendering complete and entire the chain of communication between
Birmingham and Hull.
By this project the advantages will result to the public of a
Direct line from Birmingham to Nottingham,
Birmingham to Gainsborough,
and tcom Birmingham to Hull;
and by means of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Railway,
and the intended extension to Ashby-de-la-Zouch and. Airewas, a
direct line from Wolverhampton and Dudley to Nottingham, and
the other towns already enumerated.
The support of several companies will be enlisted in favour of the
lice, which, together with its own merits, will ensure its success in
Parliament.
As a considerable portion of the line of communication is already
made, or in progress, the time required for the completion of this
great national undertaking will be materially shortened.
Independently of the advantages to be derived by a direct commu-
nication between the important seaport of Hull and the mining and
manufacturing districts of Warwickshire and Staffordshire, a large
traffic in timber, corn, metals, &c., may be confidently expected.
The revenue of the Company, In addition, will be derived from the
great thorough traffic from Birmingham and the midland counties to
Nottingham and Gainsborough, and the immense traffic from Bir-
mingham to Hull, the'port at which the exports are shipped to Ham-
burgh, the German States, and the North of Europe ; and from the
conveyance of merchandise, agricultural produce, and cattle from the
southern, western, and midland counties.
A preference will be given in the allotment of shares to landowners
on the line, and other local proprietors, as well as to directors and
shareholders in railways interested in supporting this undertaking.
No subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of the deposit
until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his
subscription.
The usual power will be taken to allow interest at the rate of four
per cent. from the time of payment upon each call until the opening
of the line.
No applications will be attended to without a reference to a
member ofthe Committee, a banker, or the solicitors to this Company.
The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be
executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip certifi-
cates, of which due notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by
any party making default in the execution of those deeds will be for-
feited.
Plans and prospectuses, with forms of applications for shares,
may be had of the Solicitors, and of the following Stock and
Sharebrokers, viz. :—Messrs. Wells, Westropp, and Prinsep, 75,
Old Broad-street ; Messrs. Preece and Evans 39, Lothbury ;
