The Committee of Directors of this important line have the plea-
sure of announcing to the Shareholders that the Surveys are on the
point of completion ; that the line as chosen by their eminent en-
gineer, Mr. Vignoles, is reported. by him to be the best and shortest
practicible one between Leicester and Birmingham, and free from
entr fleeting diffieultieS.

The whole scheme will be perfected in full time to be proceeded
with on the meeting of Parliament, and the important arrangements
now being made are such as warrant the Committee in confidently
stating that the expectations of the Shareholders will be fully rea-
lised in the success of the line.

This railway will commence at Sheerness in conjunction with 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 rue 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-
ceed on that line direct to Ramsgate eastwards, and direct to Peal
south-eastwards. From a point between Herne Bay and Sarr the
line will also be carried by a short extens on 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 lines.

The important town of Ramsgate, now so extensively connected
with continental communication, will also be thus afforded a much
nearer overland route to London ; and Deal, Ramsgate, Margate,
Hems Bay, Sheerness, Chatham' Rochester, Gravesend, Woolwich,
Greenwich, and London, will all be placed in immediate or easy con-
nexion upon one continuous line of railway.
By means also of this undertaking, in conjunctim with the exist-
ing and projected railways proceeding to the south coast of Essex,
the whole of the passengers and traffic from Liverpool, Manchester,
Leeds, Hull, York, and the Northern, the Midland, and the
Eastern Counties, will be conveyed to Dover and the Conti-
nent via Sheerness, in preference to a lengthened and cir-
cuitous route through the metropolis, whereby the journey will be
shortened more than 50 miles, travelling expenses will be curtailed,
and the serious inconvenience and delay of transhipment and con-
veyance from ene 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 the coast of Kent. The millions who annually seek pleasure in
excursions to Gravesend, Sheerness, Southend, Herne Bay, Margate,
Ramsgate, Deal, and Dover, will have a choice of different routes.
They may proceed by railway, on the Essex side of the Thames, to
the Thames Haven, Tilbury Fort, or Southend—pass over to Sheer-
ness by water, and thence proceed direct by this railway—or they
may reach Sheerness wholly by water, and then avoid the sea—or,
may pass at once from London, on the Surrey side of the Thames,
to Slikerness, Herne Bay, 'Margate, and Ramsgate, by railway in a
direct line, consuming only about two hours in the journey, and may
vary their pleasure by going in one direction and returning by
another. _ _ _

Independently of the vast multitudes who will thus seek health
and recreation, the importance, as a national object, of connecting all
the above-mentioned towns, and giving a direct line from Sheerness to
Dover, together n ith the immense existing traffic In the direction of
the undertaking, and the great increase which the improved and
enlarged modes of communication throughout Kent will occasion,
Must be tco apparent to need further obsery tion ; and the Commit-
tee, from careful inquiry, feel confidence icy s 'lig that no scheme of
railway has yet been offered to public at)'en i combitMg_greaMit
public and private advantages.
About thirty-six miles of new railway only will embrace all the
above important objects—viz., from Sheerness to Favercham
about

Faversham to Herne Bay ................
Thence to Sarr .. •• . • . •••• •• •• •• • • •• •. .
The extension to Margate ........ ........

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 determined on prosecuting it.
The Committee reserve the power of making branches to Canter-
bury and to Deal, if circumstances shoul hereafter render it ad-
visable.

The liability of the shareholders will be restricted 'to the amount
of their subscriptions, and power will be applied for in the Bill to
allow interest, at 4 per cent. per annum on all calls, from the passing
of the Act until the opening of the line.

This railway is proposed to commence at Uxbridge, proceeding
thence to the Southall station of the Great Western Railway, and
then through Heston to Hounslow, there meeting one of the proposed
lines to Hounslow from London. Leaving Hounslow the line pro.
c3eds through Whitton, Twickenham, Teddington, and Hampton,
to Kingston, and, crossing the Thames, joins the Kingston station of
the South-Western Railway, whence it will proceed to, and terminate
at, Epsom
The towes and places through which the line passes, or most imme-
diately affects, contain an aggregate population of abont 200,000
persons. •
To the inhabitants of the important town of Uxbridge, this line
presents the most direct communication with the metropolis, adopt-
ing the old course taken by the coaches, viz., through Hillingdon,
Hayes, Southall, &c., contrasting favourably with the present cir-
cuitous route to London, by coach or omnibus to West Drayton, and
thence by the Great Western Railway. With the present limited
railway accommodation, the corn returns of Uxbridge show an in-
crease of 30 per cent. upon the average of the last two years.
The weekly market at Southall is second in importance to Smith-
field, ane it is attended by the graziers and butchers from all parts of
the neighbouring country and the metropolis.
By means of this line, and one of the proposed lines from London
to Hounslow, which this will intersect, Brentford, the county-town
of Middlesex, and the Thames, will be brought into immediate con-
nexion with Uxbridge; thelraffic between the last-named towns has
hitherto materially helped to produce the large dividends of the Grand
Junction Canal.
By means also of this line, and the Croydon and Epsem line (now
in course of construction), all the before-mentioned towns and places
are likewise connected with Croydon.
The importance of connecting two such towns as Uxbridge and
Brentford with Kingston, Croydon, and Epsom, three of the largest
market-towns in Surrey, between which the presentagriculturil traffic
is extensive, is too obvious to require comment. , A glance at the map
will at once show that the communication now proposed is not only
judicious, but, in order to satisfy the requirements of the important
and populous district involved, is actually imperative. It will afford
to Uxbridge and the towns in Hertfordshire north of it, with which
it will be connected by proposed new lines, direct transit to the Great
Western, Southampton, and Portsmouth Railways, mid by the
established lines, southward, to Shoreham, Brighton, Dover,
Ramsgate, and all the south and south-eastern parts of the
kingdom, avoiding the loss of time and great inconvenience of going
round by the metropolis. So also as to Brentford, Hounslow, King-
ston, and Epsom—it will afford to them access to the Great Western,
London and Birmingham, and Northern and Eastern lines; and by
this line, in connexion with one proposed to Hounslow from the me-
tropolis, and the other proposed and established lines north and south
of it, easy access will he afforded to Hampton-court, Epsom, and
other favourite places of resort. There can be no doubt, therefore,
that the passenger traffic alone will be sufficient to pay a very large
dividend on the outlay.
The average number of persons visiting Hampton-court in the
summer months :mounts to about 18,000 per week.
The supply by the county of Kent and western division of Middle-
sex of the north and north-western markets with fruit during the
season, would, by this line, be immensely increased, and form another
source of income to the Company.
This undertaking presents the additional and important advantage
of competing with no line at present established ; on the contrary,
it will be the means of connecting and feeding the several lines enu-
merated, and several others that are projected ; and the engineer
reports that it passes over a particularly easy country, and will be
capable of construction at about 16,0001. per mile ; and the land-
owners on the line who have been seen, are, favourable to the un-
dertaking.
The length of the line will be about 18 miles.
Application for shares must be made in the annexed form, to the
colic .tors of the Company, Messrs. Watts;Galsworthy, and Galsworthy,

The object of this undertaking is to supply railway communication
to the towns and districts lying between the London and Birmingham
and the Great Western Railways, giving them the best means of ac-
cess to the metropolis, and connecting them also with Birmingham
and the north-west of England, with the eastern lines of railway,
with Oxford and the south, and with Worcester and Wales.
The main line will communicate from the London and Birming
ham Railway, near Harrow, and, passing to the north of Uxbridge,
will proceed up the Valley by Chalfont, near Amersham and Chesham.
to Missenden and Wendover, and thence to Aylesbury, from which
place it will extend to Buckingham, and, approaching Brackley,
terminate by a junction with the proposed Warwickshire and London
Railway, near Banbury. In connexion with this part of the line, it
is proposed to improve the communication between Aylesbury an
London by taking a direct line from Aylesbury to Tring.
In addition to the line above described, it is intended also to con.
street a railway from the station of the London and Birmingham
Beltway, at Bletchley, through Bicester, to Oxfot d. From Bletchles
to Bedford a railway is in course of construction by the Bedford and
London and Birmingham Company, and from Bedford comaaunica•
tions eastward are proposed.
The proposed Buckingham and London and Birmingham Railway
Company is amalgamated with this Company.

The Directors of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction
Railway Company, having completed the whole of their arrange-
ments, and having been compelled to refuse at least three-fourths of
the applications for shares in their line, have had their attention
forcibly and repeatedly called to the necessity of a direct communi-
cation between Salisbury and Swindon, the station on the Great
Western Railway, by which the most direct and remunerative con-
nexion will be fonned between Southampton and Manchester.
. . _

The advantages, in point of speed, to be derived from the broad
gauge, as aDo the superiority of the gradients obtained by the route
of the Valley of the Avon, together with the importance of placing the
city of Salisbury on the main trunk line from the north to South-
ampton, must insure to this undertaking the sanction of the Legis-
lature and the local support of the towns and districts through which
the line will pass. -
Besides forming a direct communication with the great manufac-
turing towns in the north, the Salisbury and Swindon Extension will
make a complete line of railway between Southampton, Salisbury,
and all parts of North and South Wales.
After most mature deliberation, the Directors have resolved to re•
commend to their shareholders and the public the Immediate carry-
ing out of a railway to effect the above ouject, which will be most
desirable as a completion to their own line, and highly advantageous
in a pecuniary sense and on public grounds. They have directed all
the necessary surveys to be made, so as to apply to Parliament in
the ensuing session, at the same time as the Wilts, Somerset, and
Southampton Junction Railway, with a view to the ultimate amal-
gamation of both lines under one management.
In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to the holders
of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway shares,
as also to parties locally interested, due regard being at the same
time had to public interest ; and every original shareholder in that
line may, on production of his scrip certificate, receive an allotment
of a similar number of Salisbury and Swindon Extension shares.
