This Company is formed to provide railwayaecommodation for tne
Isle of Axholine and the townships lying on the east bank of the
'I rent, .in.the .county of Lincoln ; for the extensive district called
Marshland ; and for the towns of Thorne, Hatfield, and Snaith, in the
county of York ;" and for the several places lying on the west bank
and
of
the Trent, in the county of Nottingham, between Gainsborough
the Isle of .Axholme.
These contain together 40,000 inhabitants, and comprise an area
of 160,000 acres of very productive land. of which quantity 60,000
!acres are knpwn by the name of Warp land, formed by rich alluvial
deposit, and producing the most abundant crops.
The quantity of potatoes alone grown within this distriet, and sold
in the London and Ycirkshire markets,. exceeds 120,000 tong; and
ural the
total arlionnt of exports- and imports connected with its agricult
interests exceeds 266,000 tons per annum.
The.wholL of this.couotry is at present destitute of railway accom-
modation,
Ijie necessity of the proposed Line is obvious, and has been already
satisfaCtoillS, proved in Parliament; there •being no certain means
whatever of public communication throughout the entire district.
The effect of this is to render travelling either impracticabledly Oc-
or
attended with unusual expense and delay : and it has repeate
curred that large quantities of the produce of the district, particu-
larly potatoes, have been spoiled for want of a ready and certain
means of export. This applies equally to many of t goods im-
ported.
The value of the agricultural produce is in. consequence greatly
diminished, without benefiting in any, way the consumer. •
The proposed line. will furnish the means of conveying the agricul-
tural produce.to the principal markets of the manufacturing districts,
in the North, and to the London markets in the South. In return f
receive
or
the produce exported from the district, its population will
coals, and all the other necessaries of life, at a greatly reduced cost.
A very large quantity, of natural and artificial manures will also
be suoplied, by means of which the permanent value and productive
powers of this almost isolated district will be greatly increased.
The proposed line will bring the port of Goole within 21 miles of
the port of Gainsborough, and within GO mileS of the port of Great
Grimsby, which are the shortest practicable distances.
This will Open to the manufacturing districts the readiest means of
access to the German- Ocean, and to the northern parts of Europe;
without incurring the.delay and heavy charges attendant upon the
carriage and shipment,of goods to and from the port of Hull.
port
the rising of Goole, with its Entrance Lock, Steam Dock, and
capacious Warehouses; affords readrmeans at all times for the tran-
sit of merchandise. Audits immediate connexion with the Aire and
Calder Navigation, and with the Wakefield, Pontefract, and Goole
Railway, just sanctioned by Parliament, must render it a great ens-
, porium for the manufacturing and agricultural produce of the king-
dom, and for exports to foreign parts.
The proposed line will also form a valuable feeder to the London
and York, and to the Grimsby arid Sheffield Railways ; and will sup-
ply all that now remains wanting for the accommodation of the nor-
thern and eastern parts of Lincolnshire.
true 'extension from Goole to ,Selby will connect this line with the
London and York, and also with the Leeds and Selby, opening
therell.a.direct communication fe the north of England.
This line Will meet with the support of the whole resident popula-
Him of the Igle of AtchOlith and the surrounding neighbourhood, and
of the principal landowners counseled. therewith. •
It will pass through an easy country, almost en a levelovithont any
tunnel or deep cutting. whatever,.
It will not impede any navigation, drainage,. or warping, nor pre-
judice any residential property.
From the traffic tables 'lately prepared, it is considered clear that,
after defrayirir, the' necessary expenses of working, the profit to the
shkrehohlers• will not be less than ten.per. cent.
The length of the mainline will be twenty-one miles, and of the
extension ten miles ; both ofwhich, it is calculated, will be constructed
considerably within the estimated capital.
Power will' be applied for to allow interest at 41. per cent. 'On the

Since the formation of the Company for making this railway, and
the allotment of the Shares for that part of the line between Chelms-
ford and Bury, the practicability, paramount importance, and supe-
rior advantages of its plan have been so unequivocally recognised by
the Board of Trade, and by the Committee of the House of Commons
for the railways of Essex; Suffolk, and Norfolk, that the ProviSional
Committee have determined to now, at once, adopt the extension of
theirline, originally projected, from Bury to join the Norwich and
Brandon line at Thetford ; thsreby to complete the Ehortost and best
communication between London and Norwich, in the direction of the
old road, through all the chief central towns of Essex and Suffolk,
and at the same time to open a very direct communication with the
great trunk lines of the north and w. st.
For these important objects, to e secured by an extension of only
12 miles, to connect Bury St. Edmund's and Thetford, the Provisional
Committee propose.to'inerease the capital 250,0001., by the issue of
10,000 additional glares ; and, for full particulars of the entire plan,
refer to their original prospectus.
The Chelmsford and Bury line not having been projected in time to
bring it before Prrliament In the present session in a substantive form,
it has been but imperfectly, and merely incidentally, in opposing other
lines, that its mei its could be at all brought under the notice of the
Board of Trade or of the Committee of the House ; but the strong
impression made, notwithstanding, in its favour, is obviously appa-
rent, both in the reports of the one and in the decisions of the other.
The Board of Trade, in stating the considerations upon which it ad-
vised the rejection of the Norwich Direct line, report4d (March 4th
1845) that "It is necessary to advert to a railway called theChelms.

Norwich Direct, took occasion to observe that "the Committee was

TO THE PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE OF THE CHELMSFORD

This line will commence at the terminus of the Manchester and
Birmingham Railway at Macclesfield, and passing by the Rudyard
reservoir to Leek, will proceed by the Churnet Valley to Conseil,
thence close to Cheadle, and Tean, and by Uttoxeter, Bagots Woods
and Abbots Bromley down the Blythe, to a point on the Trent Valley
Railway, near Lichfield, communicating there with one of the pro-
posed lines from Dudley and Walsall.
A glance at the map will show that this will be the most direct
line for the London and Manchester traffic; uniting those two great
termini by the shortest practicable route in connexion with existing
railways. It will also completely accommodate the local traffic and
manufactures, and open several extensive coal fields and some thou-
sand acres of wood land for the supply of Manchester, the Potteries,
and other great marts of the kingdom. Together, too, with the pro-
posed line from Derby to Crewe, it will afford a transit from the
Eastern Counties and Derby to Manchester, and give every accom-
modation to the Potteries.
This line is, in its principal features, much the same asthat already
approved of by the Board of Trade, and partially abandoned by the
Churnet Valley Company—will be scarcely 47 miles in length, and
passing through the centre of the district, does not interfere with the
Grand Junction, or any other existing railway. It is material to re-
mark, that it is even more direct than the Churnet Valley as formerly
projected to Tamworth, and is free from the formidable opposition of
the landed interest, and the engineering difficulties consequent on the
route by Racester and Marchington. It must be observed also that
it is the only railway which has been brought forward by, and is
under the control of, the landowners and manufacturers of the Churnet
and Blythe Valley districts.
The co-operation of most of the principal landowners, from near
Uttoxeter to near Lichfield, having been obtained, and there being
no competing lines projected through that district, this portion of the
line may be considered as secure.

The object of this undertaking into supply railway communication
to the towns and districts lying between the London and Birmingaccessham,
and the Great Western Railways, giving them the best means ins hams
to the metropolis, and connecting them also with the Northern and
Eastern lines of railway, as well as with Oxford and the South.
The main line will commence from the London and Birmingham
Railway, near Harrow, and passing to the north of Uxbridge, will
proceed up the Valley by Chalfont, near Amershain and Chesham to
Missenden and Wendover, and thence to Aylesbury ; from which
place it will extend to Buckingham, and passing near Winslow, and
approaching Brackley, will terminate by a Junction with the proposed
Warwickshire and London Railway. near Banbury.
In addiann to the line above described, it is intended also to eon-
' struct a: Railway 'from the-central station of the London and Bir-
Mingham Railway at Wolverton to Buckingham, and thence through
Bicesler• to Oxford; and in connexion with the line here proposed,
the Bedford, and London and Birmingham Company, intend to make
a connectingline between Bedford and Wolverton.
The proposed Buckingham and London and Birmingham Railway
Company (for the construction of a linefrora Wolverton to Bicestet)
is amalgamated with this Company-.
Accurate surveys of the country have been taken by Mr. Robert
Stephenson, and it has been ascertained that no engineering difficulty
of importance presents itself.
The undertaking has already received the sanction and support of
a very large proportion of the Nobility, Gentry, and Proprietors of
land through or near whose property it is intended to pass.
It is proposed that these lines should be made with the co-operation,
and under the direction and superintendence of the London pnd
Birmingham Railway Company ; . under a lease, in perpetuity, at
four per cent. per annum on the outlay, with a conditional arrange-
ment as to the surplus profits.
It is intended to offer the shares in such proportion as the amount
of capital will allow of, to the holders of shares in the London,
Worcester and South Staffordshire Railway Company, subject to the
approbation of the Committee of Management, with the exception
of such as may be required for parties having local interests.

BUCKINGHAM and LONDON and BIR-
MINGHAM RAILWAY.
The public are respectfUlly informed that the Company for con-
structing theBUCKINGLIAM and LONDON and BIRMINGHAM
