PROSPECTUS.
Commencing at Cambrhlge, which ha 4 now become the traffic-
centre of the Eastern Counties, by the line of railway intended to be
formed by' that Company, this line will proceed to Bedford, there
passing near Olney it will cross at or near the Blisworth Station of the
London and Birmingham Railway, where it will communicate with
the Northampton and Peterborough line; it will then precced west-
ward, crossing the OXford and Rugby line at or near Fenny-Compton
to Stratford-on-Avon, there joining the proposed line from Warwick
and Leamington to Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the West of
England ; continuing its course through Alcester, the line will go di-
rect to Worcester, and thus terminate at the great centre of traffic
for the mineral and manufacturing districts of South Staffordshire,
Shropshire, and North and South Wales: This proposed line does
not interfere with any existing railways, and presenting, as it does,
an unbroken line between two great centres of traffic, the Importance
of the undertaking needs no further comment.
Negotiations have been entered into with the Eastern Coen-
ties Railway Company, by which their support and co-operation will
N ensured for obtaining the line now proposed.

An arrangement has also been made with the proposed Rugby,
Warwick, and Worcester Company, which this line will join at Al-
cester,, and by means of which the Eastern Counties' traffic will pro-:-
ceed to Worcester.-
Bower' will be reserved to the Directors to amalgamate with any.
other existing or projecting Companies, or to vary the line.
Application for shares may be made to the Secretary, and to the fol-
lowing Sharebrokers, of whom prospectuses, with maps of the line.

PARLIAMF.NTART AGENT.
This line ofjaliway isrproposed gmarticnce .at the city of Ox-
ford; to piss through towns Marne, Princes Risborougili,
lligh.Wyeomlie, and other intermediate places in the bountih ofOx-ford and Buckingham; and to pass on through Uxbridge to
West Drayton, In the county of Middlesex, where it will join the
Great Western Railway.
From the town of Theme, through which it will pass, a railway
has been projected to Aylesbury, which will, by means of the pre-
sent Ayleshary Junction, torn a connection between the proposed
line and the London and Birmingham ; while other railways are
proposed, which will further extend the communication to the pro-
posed London and York Railway (or any other which may be
carried northwards from London), to the Northern and Eastern,
and lastly to the Eastern Cou"ties Railway. Thus the line at pre-
sent proposed will complete the communication (partially produced
by existing and other proposed lines) between Oxford and many int-
portant and populous places in Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Hert-
fordshire, and Essex, embracing the seaports and watering-places of
Maldou, Colchester, and Harwich.
By the conn=lons formed with other. .rallways, the various im-
portant and manufacturing towns and districts of the northern, cen-
tral, and eastern parts of the country will be placed within ready
access of Oxford, its immediate neighbourhood, and the west of
England generally, and this important object being effected by so
short a line, cannot fail to secure considerable profit, as the mercan-
tile and agricultural traffic will be very great, as well as that of
passengers. . . _

One very prominent advantage arising from the connexion with
the London and Birmingham Railway, will be the ready and cheap
upply of coal in a district where this essential article is at present
exorbitantly dearl and, as the consumption in Oxford only must be
very considerable, the carriage of it will prove an extensive source of
profit to the line.
Uxbridge is the largest corn market in England; and the com-
municating medium with that town and the agricultural districts of
Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, and the surrounding counties,
must secure a large remunerating traffic.
At West Drayton, where Mr line will terminate, the Great
Western Railway furnishes the connecting link to the metropolis,
the emporium of the world ; other railways are already projected, In
a continuous direction with that of the proposed line, to the proposed
London and Exeter Direct, and (crossing the river Thames) to the
South Western, the proposed Portsmouth Direct, and the Brighton
and Dover Railways. Thus Oxford and its locality will be directly
connected by railway with the west of Middlesex, Kingston-upon-
Thames, Dorking, Reigate, Brighton, and Dover ; and, indeed, with
the counties of Surrey and Kent generally, avoiding the delay, dis-
tance, and expense, resulting from the present route by way of
London.
But, by the connexion formed with the Great Western Railway
above alluded to, a most important ohject will be attained, namely,
a direct railway communication between Oxford and the metropolis,
which cannot fail to secure the whole of the traffic from the one
place to the other, as the present line, formed by a junction with the
Great Western at Didcot, is very circuitous, and the route will be
shortened twelve miles or more. The proposed line may also be re-
garded as an extension of the projected lines from Oxford to Glouces-
ter and Worcester, and of all other lines westward of Oxford, not
only towards the metropolis, but to the whole of the country and
various railways to which it forms a communication.
Oxford, celebrated as a large and splendid city, and more espe-
cial:v as being the scat of one of our principal Universities, and con-
taining about 25,000 inhabitants, should undoubtedly be furnished
with a good railway communication, both with London and with
the country at large ; and as no line could be projected which would
embrace both these objects so extensively and successfully as the
present, there is every reason to believe the business done on It
will be considerable, and will yield considerable return on the capital
invested.
A large amount of local traffic may also be expected on the line, as
it will pass through a rich and populous tract of country, containing,
within six miles distance from the site of the proposed railway, about
180,000 inhabitants, who arc yet, for the most part, unaccommodated
with the advantages of a railway. This tract of country, being
chiefly of an agricultural character, highly cultivated and produc-
tive, a ready and cheap conveyance to Oxford and other market
towns in the immediate vicinity will be found very desirable.
There are no peculiar difficulties presented to engineering con-
structions along this line, the surface Is comparatively level, and the
geological formation favourable ; the expense will be small compared
with that of in..ny others, and the greatest portion of the line does
not approximate arty ornamental or residential property.
The usual powers will be applied for in the Act, to allow four per
cent per annum on all calls until the completion of the undertaking,
and.no liability will attach to any subscriber beyond the amount of
his subscription.
Parties locally Interested, and shareholders in the Great Western,
the Aylesbury, and Thame Railway, and other proposed Rees in
conjunction with the present, to have the preference as applicants
for shares In this undertaking. . . . .

The object of this railway is to afford to the inhabitants residing
within a circle of about ten miles south of the Thames the means
of a safe, frequent, and speedy communication with the heart of
the City.
It is proposed to have a central terminus in Queen-street, Cheap-
side, with a direct line of railway over Southwark-bridge to the Ele-
phant and Castle, and thence by radiating branches to accommodate
the localities of Kennington, Brixton, Streatham, Croydon, Clap-
ham, Balham, Tooting, Mitcham, Walworth, Camberwell, Peckham,
Dulwich, Norwood, the Kent-road, Deptford, Greenwich, Black-
heath, Charlton, Woolsvich Wandsworth, Putney, Mortlake, and
Richmoni, completing the Chain of communication with the South-
western at Wandsworth, and with the London and Brighton and
South-Eastern Line at Croydola.
It is needless to point out in this preliminary announcement the
enormous passenger traffic which may be expected on this railway,
when it is considered that the portion of the suburbs to which ac-
commodation is to be afforded contain a population of between
seven and eight hundred thousand persons, requiring daily inter-
course with the City.
As this ilne will be constructed upon the atmospheric principle,
and the present public roads will be adopted as far as practicable,
the cost. will not bear comparison with that of railways in general,
and it is estimated that it will ply to the shareholders of the under-
takiag a remunerating profit of not less than 10 per cent., even
reckoning the conveyance of passingers at the low rates of from
3d. to 6d. for the whole, or any part of the distance, to say nothing
of the enormous traffic in parcels and goods.
A detailed prospectus, with the names of a very influential Com-
mittee, and other officers, will appear in a few days. In the mean-
time all communications and applications for shares, in the usual
form, may be addressed to 11. B. Colley, Esq., the secretary pro tem.
at the temporary office, 18, St. Paul's-churchyard, or to the solicitor
of the Company, Thomas Parker, Esq., 18,. St. Paul's-clittrchyafi

SECRETARY (pro tens)—`W. llarrs, ESO•

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 meetin g one of the proposed
lines to Hounslow from London. Leaving Hounslow the line pro.
coeds .through Whitton, Twickenham, Tcdclington, and Hampton,
to Kingston, and, crossing the Thames, .iOlO5 the Kingston station of
the South-Western Railway, whence it will proceed to, azu terminate
at .Epsom.
The towns and places through which the line passes, or most imme-
diately affects, contain an aggregate population of aborts 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, Ste., contrasting favourably with the present cir-
cuitous route to London, by coach or omnibus to West Drayton, and
thence by the Groat 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 et Southall is second in importance to Smith-
field, end 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 ; the traffic between the last-named towns has
hitherto materially helped to produce this large dividends of the Grand
Junction Canal.
By means also of this line, and the Croydon and Epsom 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 present agricultural 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, and by the
established lines, southward, to Shoreham, Brighton, Dover,
Ramsgate, and all the south and south-eastern parts of th
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 Rues north and south
of it, easy access will be 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 amounts to about 18,000 per week.
The supply by the eounty 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.
Portant advantage
This undertaking presents the additional and im
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 16,000/. per rnide ; 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
solicitors of the Company, Messrs. Watts,'Galssvorthy, and Galsworthy,

The title of this line sufficiently and correctly explains the object
of the undertaking.
The Birmingham terminus will be placed in communication with
all the other railways having a station in that town, and will oe
brought as near as practicable to its centre. Proceeding thence In a
northerly direction, and on the west side of the Lichfield road, it w:1
pass within a short distance of Sutton Coldfield, and to Lichfield, at
the latter of which places there will be a tation in communication
with the projected Walsall lines.
Thence crossing the Trent Valley, near King's Bromley, it will
pursue the course of the Blythe Valley, or by or near is Abbots
Bromley to Leigh, where it will leave the Blythe Valley, and by a
short cutting reach the Teen station on Remington's London and
Manchester line at the junction of the Crewe branch, or by a junc-
tion with whichever of the projected lines to Manchester may be
adopted by Parliament.
The entire length of the new line to be made will not exceed
thirty-four miles, and the whole will be carried over a most favour-
able country—two-thirds being a water-level.
Sections ofa great portion of the line have been made, and the en-
tire Parliamentary survey will be completed by the 9th o:Ociober.
This railway will afford a route from Birmingham to Manchester
eleven miles shorter than by any existing or projected line. It will
also give the best and nearest line between Huddersfield, and Bir-
mingham.
_ .

It will also furnish a nearer and more direct route from Birming-
ham to the Potteries than any line made er projected by several
miles, assuming any of the projected Pottery lines to have their ter-
mini at Coiwich, on the Trent Valley, or at Stafford, on the Grand
Junction Railway ; thus giving to Manchester, and ft'SO the Pot-
teries, the shortest, easiest, and most direct route to Birmingham.
It will also give the nearest line between Huddersfield and
ham and Southampton.
This railway crosses the projected Leeds and Huddersfield and
Wolverhampton Direct Railway. In the Blythe Valley a station will
be placed, and communication effected, so as to afford to Birmingham
the shortest route by many miles, with Leecis, Huddersfield, Sheffield,
and the northern parts of England. I:1 allotting shares every legi-
timate preference will be given to the landholders on the I,ne.

The whole of the traffic (whether of passengers or goods) from the
north to the south of England now' passes through the streets of
London. No railway has yet been projected to avoid this course, so
obviously inconvenient to the passenger, and so enormously expen-
sive to the carrier.
The Tring and Reigate Railway will afford accommodation to the
manufitcturing districts of Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, and Birming-
ham,-and place them in direct communication with the southern
ports (from Dover to Southampton) and France, at a saving of ten
miles, of which four consist of the streets of London, and effectually
connect the several stations of the Dover, Brighton, South-Western,
Great Western, and Birmingham Railways, without causing the
ruinous expense attendant upon all schemes for joining their present
termini in London
The importance of a direct communication between the coal Melds
and manufacturing districts of Birmingham, the midland countieS
and the north with the southern coast, extending, at the least, from
Dover to Southampton, need not be dwelt upon. A new line of no
less than 137% miles has just been projected to connect Birmingham
and Brighton alone. The Tring and Reigate will be forty-four miles.
The course of this line is as follows :—Leaving the London and Bir-
mingham Railway at Tring, it will pass through Chesham, Amersham,
Beaconsfield, to Slough, on the Great Western Railway ; through
Upton, Datchet, Egham, Staines, and Chertsey, it will reach the
South-Western Railway at Weybridge ; thence through Cobham and
Leatherhead, it will pass near Dorking to the Reigate station of the
Dover and Brighton Railways; thus intersecting four trunk rail-
ways at first class stations.
The intermediate traffic may be stated as follows :—From Wen-
dover to Slough it will command the traffic to Dondon and the West
of England by its junction with the Great Western Railway ; it will
afford to Windsor a direct communication to the Isle of Wight by
way of the gouth-Western ; to Brighton and Dover by way of Rei-
gate ; and to all the railways of the north by way of Tring ; aid it
will pass, as before stated, through the populous districts of Egham,
Statues, Chertsey, Cobham, and Dorking, to the Reigate station by
way of Epsom.
It may be fairly stated that this railway, far from injuring any
existing line, will greatly benefit every one that it touches, and that
opening, as it will do, a direct communication to the northern and
midland counties with Brighton, and affording to Windsor the com-
mand of all the railways in the kingdom, must be successful.
To persons conversant with railway affairs, a glance at any railway
map will convey more convincing information as to its merits than
the most elaborate prospectus.
Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the
Cotrpany shall be under the control of the Committee of Manage-
ment, who are empowered to enter into such arrangements as shall
best serve the interests of the Company, and to raise any additional
capital that may become requisite for extensions of the line, or
otherwise.
Power shall be taken under the Act to limit the responsibility of
shareholders to the amount of their subscription, and to allow interest
at 4 per cent. upon the calls.
The engineers are now engaged in surveying the line, and the
whole will be completed in time for the ensuingothlandowners and to the
session. A preference

The Managing Committee have great pleasure in submitting the
following report, received from their engineer. This affords satisfac-
tory assurance that the line will be certainly ready for the coming
session. • committee of the Tring and Reigate Railway.
To the Provisional
Gentlemen,—I have the

nutely:examined the country lying between Tring a
the proposed " Tring and Reigate Railway."
The ground from the Reigate station on the South-Eastern Rail-
way, via Reigate to Leatherhead, is the only difficult portion of the
line ; some tunnelling and cutting being required, after which, by
Cobtnun, Chertsey, Staines, Datchet, Upton, Slough, Farnham Royal,
Beaconsfield, Amersham, and Chesham, to or near the Tring station,
the country is of a nature most favourable for the construction of a
railway.
I consider the route here pointed ant for the " Tring and Reigate
Railway," not only a most excellent one as referring to the con-
struction of the line, but pre-eminently good in respect of the pro-
spect of its paying ; for in addition to its affording a direct means of
communication from the north and midlands' districts to Brighton
and Dover, it will at the same time become a series of cenneeting
links with the main trunks of the country.
I have the satisfaction to inform the Committee that I have made
such arrangements as will enable me to guarantee their going to
Parliament with the " Tring and Reigate " Bill in the ensuing
session.

I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your most
