ISLE OF WIGHT RAILWAY.
A COMPANY is in course of formation tbr the purpose of eon-
structing a RAILWAY through and across the ISLE of WIGHT.
A Preliminary survey of the country and investigation into
trellis have been made, which JusUfy the expectation that a system
of railway communication can be framed, calculated to further the
interests and develop the -resources of the island, and to render a
liberal return for the. capital. to be invested, without unduly invading
tile privacy of pritierty.
The promoters are • anxious' to give fall consideration to parties
interested;la ally but it is hoped that as the amount of capital re
quired for the undertaking is limited, applicants for shares will
confine their claims to such a number as they may desire per-
manently to hold.

The detailed Prospectus will be published In a few days.

DIRECT NORTHERN RAILWAY from
PERTH to ELGIN, by BlairgoWrie, Er, aeraar , and Bailin-
dalloch—to Join the Great North of Scotland Railway from Aberdeen
to Inverness, at or near Elgin, with a Branch to Banff.
The promoters of this Railway have great satisfsetion in an-
nouncing that they kayo received a avowable report from Alexander
Gibb, Esq., civil engineer, Aberdeen. The undertaking is now proved
to be practicable ; and it will very aeon be shown that it will be profit-
able—because, as this line is the shortest to all the Northern Coun-
ties, not excepting Inverness, it will obtain, to a great extent, the
traffic between these counties and the south. The superiority of
this line, as publicly announced on the 25th ult.' is indeed already
partially demonstrated by several subsequent attempts, to appro-
priate coins portion of it. The noblomesi and gentlemen, Mori im-
mediately interested in " The Direct Northern Railway," will no
doubt support those who procure the opinion of an intelligent engi-
neer, and take every precaution to ascertain the probable traffic be-
fore presuming to issue any detailed prospectus.
Se soon as the tables of traffic are completed, the prospectus will
be issued ; and, in the meantime, all information on this vital point,
will be thankfully received by Messrs. Gray and Jameson, writers,
Perth ; Alexander Souter, Esq., Banff or by

CAMBRIDGE AND LINCOLN RAILWAY
COXPANY.
Various projects having been recently brought forward for afford-
ing railway communication between the ports of Boston and Spald-
ing, and the principal towns of the Midland Counties, some of which
projects interfere with the lines from Boston to Sleaford, and from
iiipalding to Stamford, in connexion with the trunk line of the Cam-
bridge and Lincoln Railway, the Provisional Committee of that
Company think it right to give notion that they are already pledged
to the construction of these lines, in pursuance of the recommenda-
tion of the Board of Trade, and that it has been resolved that the
capital required for this purpose should be raised by the issue of
Extension Shares, to be allotted among the Shareholders of the
Company, which resolution will be duly carried out, in pursuance of
the advertisement to that effect already issued.

For further particulars, er information, please to apply to Messrs.
C. Devoux and Co., 62, King William-street, City, who will under-
take to effect the payment of calls aid the transfers.
