and more direct railway communication would be thereby effedied
between Brighton and Southampton. This line must also form' an
integral portion of any grand trunk line extending near the coast be-
tween Dover and the west of England.
The Committee of Management will seek power by their Bill, and
in the meantime take power to enter into arrangements with any
other company or companies; also to alter or extend the line, and
to make branch lines. The district presents no engineering diffi-
culties. Many of the principal landowners have expressed their un-
qualified approbation of the undertaking, and it has the warmest
support of influential parties in the town of Southampton and the
whole of the district through which the line extends.
Careful calculations have been made by persons of great practical
experience of the cost and probable income of the line, and it has
been found that, in addition to its other obvious advantages, it pos-
sesses the all-important one of being a remunerative line.
Power will be sought in the Act to allow 4 per cent. per annum in-
terest on the calls.

The names of the Provisional Committee, numerous and influen-
tial, will be published in a few days.
The present line will commence at the terminus of the projected
Sheffield and Macclulled Railway at Macclesfield, and will proceed
in a direct course t(by or through all the intermediate towns of
any importance) to the terminus of the projected Chester and Holy.
head Railway at Chester, the object of the present undertaking
being to complete the direct communication between Holyhead
and the Humber by means of the line in course of formation
from Chester to Holyhead on the one side, and the projected rail-
ways from Macclesfield to Sheffield, and from Sheffield to Great
Grimsby on the oiher. The Macclesfield and Chester and Sheffield
and Macclesfield Junctions will thus complete the required links of
connexion between the eastern and western coasts of England,
forming the grand highway of commerce with Ireland and foreign
countries.

The present trade of Chester and Macclesfield, as well as the
pleasure traffic between those places and the intermediate towns
and villages, together with the extraordinary increase in travel-
ling which every new facility brings with it, and which the pro-
jected line of railway opens to and from the splendid scenery of
Wales, and the romantic districts of Deibyshire, independently
of the well-known agricultural and mineral produce of the sur-
rounding country, and of the neighbouring counties, which by
this line and the lines in continuation of it, will be carried into
every direction, affords a sufficient guarantee for the prosperity of
the project; and with a view to insure its success, it has been
decided in the allotment of shares to give a preference to the ap-
plications from parties resident on the line, and also to parties in-
terested in the projected line of railway from Sheffield to Maccles-
field, with which its interests are necessarily and intimately con-
nected.
Applications for prospectuses and shares may be made at the

NEWCASTLE AND LONDON COAL
RAILWAY.

Capital, 5,000,0001, in 200,060 shares of 251. each.
Deposit, 21. 12s. 6d. per share.
The establishment of the above railway will effect two great
and important objects :—first, the supply of the metropolis and its
vicinity with coal fully twenty per cent. cheaper than by the pre-
sent mode of transit : secondly, by the exclusion of passenger
traffic to diminish the risk of accidents. The Bosrd of Trade, in
reference to the latter, have in their report upon the subject, laid
great stress on the importance of separating the passenger from
goods trains ; and the Select Committee of the House of Commons
on the coal trade recommend that every means of promoting a new
supply of coal should be encouraged. The existing lines for the
north being already crowded to excess with trains of every class,
travelling at velocities varying from twenty miles per hour, it be.
comes manifestly necessary, with a view to public convenience,
and supplying the metropolis and the intermediate districts
with coals from the coal fields in the north, from which at present
the greater proportion is supplied, that an independent railway,
devoted exclusively to the conveyance of coals and goods at a
moderate and regular speed, should be constructed from Newcastle
to London. It Is, therefore, intended to confine this railway to
carriage of coals and goods only ; and it is ascertained that the
conveyance by railway of large quantities, for long distances, at a
moderate speed, and at comparatively low rates, will be as profitable
as the carriage of passengers at a greater veiOcity, The actual ex-
perience of the London and Birmingham ' Railway affords a safe
ground for calculation; the expenses on that line for the year 1844
being 1,472/. per mile; at the same rateper mile, 2,000,000 tons of
coal annually may be brought the entire distance from Newcastle;
this quantity is about one-half of the present importation from
London, making on the average from 13,000 to 14,000 tons
The extreme fluctuations to which the price of coal is subject
from irregularity in the supply, dependent as it is on the uncer-
tainty of the winds and weather, has hitherio operated against the
estabishment of manufactories on the banks of the Thames. From
the same cause, also, London has, at times narrowly escaped total
darkness, the gas works not being able to obtain their regular
supply of coals. In the course of the last five years the prices of
household coal, on the Coal Exchange, have fluctuated between
14s. 6d. to 275. per ton, and last winter the price rose even to 355.
per ton ; the high prices always occurring at a season when the
scarcity, and consequently increased prico of coal, is most distress-
ing to the poor.
The removal of the colliers from the Pool is an important con.
sideration, as it will necessarily render the navigation of the
Thames safer for all other vessels: and it is no valid objection
to this undertaking, that it will supersede, in a great measure
the employment of collier ships, because it is now ascertained, be.
yond all doubt. that coals can be brought to London by railway at
20 per cent less than those sea-borne; and, therefore, London sill
be supplied from Yorkshire, Staflbrdshire, Derbyshire, and South
Wales, unless the present project, or one offering equal advantages
to the northern coal-owners, in their certain and fast approaching
competition with the Infant collieries, be carried into effect.
In addition to the through traffic, accommodation will be afforded
to the intermediate districts for the conveyance of coals and goods,
which will materially increase the revenue of the Company.

The estimated cost of the line is 5,000,0001., and the traffic, in

This line of railway will commence at the junction of the Man-
chester and Birmingham, Chester and Crewe, and Grand Junction
Railways, at Crewe, in the county of Chester, and proceed from
thence through or near the towns of Market Drayton, Newport, mid
°liiffnal, in Shropshire, thence through the flourishing town of Kid-
ierminster, to Worcester and Tewkesbury, and to the Bristol Rail-
way at Gloucester. By this means it will form the most direct
route from Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Hull, and Chester to the
important ports of Gloucester and Bristol, indeed the most direct
line from the north of England to the Bristol Channel. It will also,
in conjunction wtih the proposed Hereford and Worcester, and Swan-
sea, Merthyr-Tydvil, and Hereford Railways, form the most advan-
tageous route from Swansea and the iron districts of South Wales,
to Liverpool, Manchester, and Hull.
The line will cress the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway at
Shit-Mai, and the Chropshire Mineral Railway and the Trent Valley
Union at the thriving town of Newport. It will form a junction
with the two latter railways at Newport, whereby persons and lug-
gage may be conveyed to Stafford, Derby, the midland counties,
Staffordshire Potteries, Sheffield, and Bull ; and, in addition to the
ecLuiryeerPa Liverpool, the

SIOCRETARY—Mr. John C. Sommers.

In submitting this undertaking to the public, the promoters are I
influenced no less by a conviction of its importance as a direct con-
necting line between the important towns of Chichester and Ports- I
mouth and the metropolis, than by its grand national importance in
affording a direct communication between the two great naval and
military arsenals of Great B.itain•—Portsmouth and Chatham.
The projected undertaking, by proceeding to the two termini 3t
Chichester and Portsmouth, will extend the facilities of itommunica-
Hon with the coast branches of railways along the south of England,
connecting itself with Brighton to the eastward, and Southampton
towards the west. By the main line falling into the Brighton Rail-
way the advantage of two termini in London will be secured—the
one at the Bricklayers' Anna, and the other at London•bridge—the
latter of which, from its proximity to the Custom House, and the
several docks on the Thames, is acknowledged to be the best position
for a London terminus for merchandise of all descriptions.
The line of railway intended to be constructed by this Company will
commence at or near the Redhill station near Reigate, on the Lon-
don and Brighton Railway, a distance of 21 miles front London-
bridge.
In its course to Portsmouth it will pass through or near Reigate,
Newdigate, Capel, Ockley, Ewhurst, Rudgwick, Cranley, Alfold,
Itillinghurst, Wieborough-green, Plaistow, Haslemere, Chiddingfold,
North Chapel, Kirdford, Petworth, 34idhurst, Chilgrove, Stoughton,
Racton, Weetbourne, and Emsworth, at or near which last-mentioned
place this projected line will join the Chichester aud Portsmouth Rail-
way to Portsmouth.
At the earnest recommendation of some of the principal land-
owners, branches are proposed tobe made to Godalming and Peters-
field. The branch to Godalming will be from a point in the main
line between Plaistow and North Chapel ; and the branch from
Petersileld will join the main line at a point between Nitihurst and
Itepton. These extensions of this undertaking have rendered an in-
crease necessary in the amount of the capital originally fixed on ;
but from the increased accommodation which these branches will
afford, the promoters of the undertaking feel confident that a com-
mensurate profit will result to the shareholder.
A branch is proposed to be made from Dorking to join the main
line at or near Capel.
Itv this course the entire distance to travel between London and
Portsmouth will be abridged to 73 miles, a distance considerably
shorter than that by which any line hitherto projected between
London and Port,rnouth has proposed to pass, and also pursuing
a route more populous and productive than any hitherto presented
to public notice. It will involve the construction of only 45 miles of
railway to complete the course between the Redhill station (near
Reigate) and Emsworth.

From Chilgrove a line of seven miles will be constructed, and
which will place Chichester in direct communication with London.
The distance between Chichester and London by this route will be
0 miles.
Trains will run direct between London and Chichester, without
stopping at Chilgrove.
Inasmuch as the existing line of railway to Dover branches off
from the London and Brighton Railroad at fteigate, this projected
line will open up a communication by railroad between Portsmouth
and Dover.
From an inspection of the map, it will be seen that the Redhill
station, near Reigate, lies nearly in a direct line between Ports-
mouth and Chatham, and in pursuing the line of communication
to the last-mentioned naval and military depot, this line will pass
through or near to the towns of Bletchingley, Godstou, Limpstield,
Westerhafn, Seven Oaks, Ightbam, Town Mailing, Wrotham, Off-
ham, Snodland, Lower flailing, and Wouldham.
The distance between Chatham and Reigate will involve the
making of 31 miles of railroad, and the line of railroad between
Portsmouth and Chatham will extend over 82 miles.
To the naval and military establishments of this kingdom the
construction of this projected line will afford the most important fa-
cilities in the transit of troops, stores, baggage, &c. &c., diminishing
the tardy course of communication which at present necessarily,
exists between Portsmouth and Chatham, at present usually extend-
ing over the space of two days, and placing them in that direct com-
munication with each other which, in two hours, or thereabout,
will enable the journey between them to be made.
The formation of a direct line of railway between Portsmouth
and Chatham will afford the opportunity of establishing, by the
electric telegraph, that celerity of communication so important to be
obtained between places of ua tional importance.
The warm support of the principal landowners en the seater part
of the line is pledged to this undertaking.
The Previsional Committee abstain from making any special re-
ferenda to the contemplated profit to result from carrying into effect
this undertaking, feeling convinced that the extent of traffic through
the populous and rich districts over which this line and its branches
are projected to pass is sufficiently known, and is decisive of the
Inutility of all comment in that respect.

The entire property of the Regent's Canal Company, extending
from Paddington to Limehouse, having been purchased, it is pro-
posal to form a railway on its site, with an extension from the
City-road basin to the vicinity of the General Post-office.
The vast importance cf this undertaking, whereby, a junction will
he effected between all existing and projected railways north of the
Thames, combined with the, advantage of a general City terminus,
is too obvious to require comment.
By the proposed railway, passengers and goods will be brought
into the heart of the City at a great saving of time and expense,
and facilities will be afforded for the more expeditious transmission
of the mails to most parts of the kingdom.
The line will commence at the Great Western Railway ter-
minus, and will follow the course of the canal throughout, inter-
secting the London and Birmingham Railway at Camden-town,
the proposed London and York and Direct Manehester near Pen-
lonville, the Eastern Counties at Old Ford, and the Blackwall
Railway at Limehouse ; traversing the populous districts 'of Pad-
dington, Camden.town, Islington, City-road, Hoxton, Kingaland,
and Hackney,—terminating at the Regent's Canal Dock at Lime-
!louse, adjoining the River Thames, to which there is a wharf
frontage of 170 feet.
The basins, wharfs, warehouses, and buildings at The City-road,
Limehouse, and along the line of canal will be equally available
as at present for the large and increasing local goods traffic now
existing on the canal.
ISurveys have been made of the property required for the pro-
posed extension, which it is found can be constructed at a corn.
; paratively moderate expense.
IThe object of the Company will be to secure the hest accommo-
dation to the public, and to deal impartially with the present and
I all future companies who may avail themselves of this line. The
property of the present railway companies will be materially im-
proved, and a great natienal work effected in a manner and at a
cost which could be accomplished by no other means than by the
conversion of the Regent's Canal.
There are no engineering difficulties of importance to overcome,

the approaches to, and the communications across the line, are
already established, and a ccmparatively small extent only of pri-
vate property will be interfered with or require to be purchased,
and the completion of the works and the opening of the line may
be confidently expected within twelve months after the sanction of
the Legislature has been obtained.
Applications for prospectuses and shares to be made to the se-
cretary, Frederick Collier, Esq., at the offices of the Company,
Gresham-rooms, Basinghall• street.
Parties who are registered proprietors in the Regent's Canal and
in the existing railways and docks connected with this undertaking
are requested to state the fact in their application.
