The line from Worcester, with a branch to the Severn, is in-
tended to pass near the towns of Pershore, Evesham, Stratford-on-
Avon, Banbury, Bicester, and Aylesbury, and to join the London
and Birmingham Railway in the vicinity of Tring, which has been
found, on the whole, to be a more desirable point of junction for
public! accommodation than Weedon. The line from Rugby to
Oxford is intended to pass also by way of Banbury, and will form,
for about twenty miles, a portion of the main line from Worcester
to Tring. Whilst Worcester by these means will be brought within
a distance of 119 miles of the terminus of the London and Birming-
ham Railway at Euston.square, the intermediate country will be
connected by the proposed line to Rugby with the eastern side of
the kingdom. On the other hand, Birmingham and the midland
and northern counties will be thus directly connected with Oxford
and the south; and, as a necessary result, the London and Bir-
mingham Railway Company will effect a junction of their existing
Warwick and Leamington branch with the proposed lines.
Accurate surveys of the country have been made under the di.
rection and personal superintendence of Mr. Robert Stephenson,
who reports that it is free from any considerable engineering dif.
Scuttles.

Estimates of the traffic has been prepared, showing a return upon
the expenditure sufficient to induce the Directors of the London
and Birmingham Company to lease the line in perpetuity, which
they have agreed to do, with a guarantee of 4 per cent. per annuls
to the Proprietors upon the outlay, and half the surplus profits.
A moiety of the shares is reserved for the Proprietors of the
London and Birmingham Company ; and the remainder will be
alloted to parties having local interests, and other applicants.
Interest, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, will be paid half-
yearly on the Deposits and Calls, from the time of payment.
Applications for shares may be made to the solicitors, or to the
following sharebrokers :—Messrs. Foster and Braithwaite, Old
Broad.street, Mr. Robert William Moore, Threadneedle-street,
London ; Mr. Samuel Woods, jun., Liverpool; or Mr. James
Pearson, Birmingham.

Its blarsenesTen.—Sir BENJAMIN HEYWOOD, Batt., and CO
Since the ProspeOtus of this aanitity was issued to the Public,
the South.Eastera Company have laid out a Line of Beltway front.
Ashford, by Canterbury to Ramsgate and Margate, under the
powers of their Act of the last Session. This circumstance has
induced the Committee to reconsider that part of the Plea,
by which it was proposed to carry out the Railway from Paver.

the substitution of another Line, which should fall lute the Ash.
ford branch at or near Canterbury ; by such a junction; a direW
Railway communication will equally be extended to Ramsgate and
Margate, while an important accommodation will also be albrded
to Canterbury and its neighbourhood, and the Line itself will be
made capable of extension to several ether important points on the
Coast, which at present have not the benefit of Railway intercourse.
The Committee have determined upon this modification after a
mature consideration of its advantages, and they have the satisfac-
tion of knowing that it is in accordance with the wishes of the Inha-
bitants of the district, through which it is proposed the Line shall
pass; a direct Railway communication will thus be effected be-
tween Canterbury, Chatham, and Woolwich, and between all those
important Depots and the Metropolis; and the important traffic of
Canterbury will be added to the estimated returns of the Company.
The Line, as proposed to be modified, will commence, as origi-
nally laid down, at London-bridge, and will proceed round Green-
wich-park, by Blackheath, Charlton, Woolwich, Plumstcad, Wick.

ton, crossing the Medway by a permanent bridge, and thence by
Rainham, Milton, Sittingbourne and Faversham, to Chilham and
Canterbury, falling into the Ashford branch at or near the latter
City.

The Committee will at the same time apply for powers to com-
plete the Line to Ramsgate and Margate, in case the South-Eastern
Company shall not effectually carry out their Line.
The undertaking will remain subject to any modifications which
may be considered advisable by the Committee, or be required by
the Government.
In the original Prospectus, the estimates of cost and traffic were
given in detail, showing a return equal to at least eight per cent.
upon a eapital of 1,500,000/.
By the proposed modification of the Line, the capital will be re-
duced to 1,250,000/., and by this reduction, and the accession of
additional traffic, in consequence of the extension to Canterbury,
the Committee feel assured that the profits will be considerably in-
creased to the Shareholders.
As a proof of the very moderate statements of traffic, upon which
the revenue was calculated in the original Prospeetus, it may be
stated that according to official returns recently promulgated, the
number of persons who arrived at, and embarked from, Gravesend,
between the lit of June and the 30th of September, in the present
year, a period of four months only, amounted to 1,491,923, ex-
ceeding by nearly 200,000 persons, the number assumed in the
Prospectus to pass to and from Gravesend in the entire year.
The Committee have been induced to defer the allotment of
Shares pending the consideration of this contemplated change in
the lower part of their Line, and the new survey rendered necessary
thereby; but they now intend to proceed to the allotment Immo.
diately after the 29th inst., and no application for Shares will be
received after that day.
A deposit of 31. per share will be payable on the allotment taking
place, and at the same time the Subscribers' Assent, and Parlia-
mentary Contrast must be signed.
The Committee, however, feel so confident in the superiority
and advantages of the proposed Line, that they engage to return
the whole amount of the deposits, without any deduction, should
their Line not be approved of by the Board of Trade.
Prospectuses may be obtained at the Solicitor's Office, No. 30,
Bedford.row, and further applications for Shares must be made to
the Provisional Committee only, at their Office, No. 13, Austin
Friars, Old Broad.atreet, London.
