This Company is formed for the purpose of constructing a railway
in extension of the several important lines which it is intended shall
terminate at or near King's-cross, and the line will proceed from
thence to a point at or:near Furnivars:lnn and Holborn Bars, where
it is proposed to erect a great central metropolitan terminus. This
terminus will form the north front of a considerable portion of the
widest part of Holborn, between Leather-lane and Gray's Inn-lane.
The site selected is obviously the most convenient for the concen-
tration of the traffic of all the railways issuing from London, either
to the north or in a north-easterly or north-westerly direction.
The situation, moreover, presents very great facilities for exten-
sions, in the direction of the railways, to the east and to the south of
London.
The property necessary to be taken for the line and terminus is
not of a valuable character, and there will be no interference with
ally existing buildings of ally consequence.
The surveys are in a state of forwardness, and will be ready to
enable the Company to proceed to Parliament next session.
The capital has been fixed at 800,0001., but the estimates hitherto
received lead the Committee to expect that a smaller sum may
suffice.
A preference in the allotment of shares will be given to scrip-
holders in the Direct Northern Railway, but this Company is esta-
blished as a separate undertaking.
Applications for shares may be addressed in the meantime to the
Solicitors, in the following form :

The shareholders of the South Midland Railway Company are in-
formed that arrangements have been made by the Committee of
Management with the Board of Directors' of the Midland Railway
; Company for carrying out the original South Midland line with the
important additions of a line to Bedford and a branch to Huntingdon,
the whole being consolidated in one undertaking, and placed under
the management of a joint Board of Direction composed of members
of the Boards of the two Companies.
The objects, therefore, embraced by the present undertaking are-
1. A direct line from Leicester by way of Market llarborough to
Northampton, being :he original South Midland
2. A line diverging therefrom at Market Harborough, and pas:ling
by way of Kettering to Bedford ; and
3. A branch from the last-mentioned line, at or near Kettering, to
Huntingdon.
The capital at present belonging to the South Midland Company
will form a portion of the consolidated capital (the remainder being
contributed by the Midland Railway Company), and in order to com-
ply with the Standing Orders of the House of Lords, as recently
altered, it is necessary that the deposit of 1/. 2s. already paid on the
South Midland shares should be increased to 2/. 2s. It is also neces-
sary that the scrip should be called in and re-issued, and new Parlia-
mentary deeds executed. •

The shareholders in the South Midland Company are therefore re-
quired to pay, on or before the 25th day of October next, the further
sum of it. per share on the shares respectively held by them, and for
this purpose to deposit with the Secretary, at the Company's ofilees,
Leicester, the scrip now 'held by them, together with an application
for registry and exchange in the annexed form, on or before the 18th
day of October next.

The requisite order to one of the Company's bankers to receve the
increased deposit will be issued within three days after the registry
of the scrip, and on the production of the bankers' receipt and the
execution of the new Parliamentary contract, the new scrip cer-
tificates will be issued.
All scrip in respect of which the shareholders shall fall to take the
necessary steps for payment of the required deposit within the
specified period will be forfeited.
Forms ,4 application for registry and exchange of scrip may be ob-
tained by applying to the Secretary, at the Company's offices.

This railway will commence at Sheerness in conjunction wig a
short steam-ferry communication from a point at or near to South•
end, on the opposite Essex coast, and will proceed from Sheerness
by Queenborough to Faversham, where it will form a junction with
one of the proposed lines from London by that town to Canterbury
and Dover.

The integral line will be continued from Faversham to or near to
Herne Bay,: and from thence to the South-Eastern Extension
Railway (now being made), at a point near Sarr, and will then pro •
coed on that line direct to Ramsgate eastwards, and direct to Deal
south-eastwards. From a point between Herne Bay and Sarr the
line will also be carried by a short extension to Margate.
By this project Margate will be placed within 75 miles of the me-
tropolis, instead of more than 100, as at present, and that too by a
direct line through Faversham, at which place it will meet the Lon-
don lints.

The important town of Ramsgate, now so extensively connected
with continental communication, will also be thus afforded a much
nearer overland route to London.

By means also of this undertaking, in conjunction with the exist-
ing and projected railways proceeding to the south coast of Essex,
the whole of the passengers and traffic from the Northern, the Mid-
land, and the Eastern Counties, will be conveyed to Dover and the
Continent via Sheerness, in preference to a lengthened and cir-
cuitous route through tile metropolis, whereby the journey will be
shortened more than 50 miles, travelling expenses will be curtailed,
and the serious inconvenience and delay of transhipsment and con-
veyance from one part of London to another wholly avoided.
A glance at the map also will show the immense advantage which
the metropolis itself will enjoy by its being thus afforded other routes
to Sheerness, Margate, llamsgate, Deal, and Dover, and the greater
part of Kent. Thousands of persons will proceed direct from the me-
tropolis to Margate and Ramsgate throughout, whilst a multitude of
others will prefer landing at Sheerness and then proceed by this rail-
way, thereby shortening the journey and avoiding the sea.
The importance of a direct line from Sheerness to Dover as a
national object, and the immense existing traffic in the direction of
the undertaking, with the great increase which the improved and
enlarged modes of a -commitnication throughout Kent will occasion,
must be too apparent to need flirther observation ; and the Commit-
tee from careful inquiry feel confidence in stating that no scheme of
railway has yet been offered to public attention combining greater
public and private advantages.
About thirty-six miles of new railway only will embrace all the
above important objects—viz., from Sheerness to Faversham

12 miles,

The country has already been preliminary surveyed, and found to
be exceedingly favourable. Indeed, it is almost a dead flat from
Faversham to Margate.
The landed proprietors are not only willing but desirous that the
undertaking should be accomplished,
and it is at the request of many
of them that the promoters have projected it.
The Committee reserve the power of making branches to Canter-
bury and to Deal, if circumstances shoull hereafter render it ad-
visable.
Applications for prospectuses, maps, and shares (in the usual form)
may be made to the Solicitors er Secretary, at the temporary offices,
