HARWICH RAILWAY AND PIER COM-
PANY, with Branches to Thorpe-le-Soken and Alresford.

Capital, 330,0001., in Shares 0f231. each.
Deposit 21. 2s. per Share.

At a meeting of the Provisional Committee of this undertaking,
held at Radley's Hotel, on Wednesday, the sth instant, it was una-
nimously resolved to apply for powers to construct a branch line
about four miles in length, from Ehnsted to Alresford, thus connect-
ing the town of Colchester with the deep water of the river Colne,
at the nearest point, and where vessels of 500 tons can discharge
their cargoes with safety, by means of which Colchester will be com-
pletely established as a seaport town.
The engineers reported that the cost of this branch, with all suit-
able works, would not exceed 50,000/., and it was resolved to increase
the capital by that amount accordingly, and instructions were given
for the necessary survey being forthwith proceeded in.
As the allotment of shares will not take place until the standing
orders are complied with previously to the 30th instant, applications
for prospectuses, plans, and shares, will continue to be received by
the solicitors and brokers already advertised.

The allotment in this line of railway has been completed, and the
letters of allotment forwarded, but owing to the immense number of
applications, the Provisional Directors regret having been compelled
In all cases materially to curtail the number, and in very nume-
rous instances to leave out the names of highly respectable parties
altogether.

The Provisional Directors have much pleasure in stating that the
surveys are fully completed, and every other necessary arrangement
made for going before Parliament, and that from peculiarly favour-
able circumstances, they confidently anticipate that their Bill Will
BE ONE OF THE EARLIEST BROUGHT FORWARD IN THE ENSUING

This railway will connect the east and west coasts, and form a
direct route from the ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood-on-Wyre, and
Lancaster, to Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Commencing at Lancaster, it
will proceed up the valley of the Lune, by Kirkby Lonadale, Sedbergk,
and Kirkby Stephen. and thence by the most practicable line to New-
castle. It will run nearly parallel with the old coach road, which
has hitherto been the principal passenger route from Lancaster to
Newcastle.

It will readily be conceded that great benefits will flow from a
direct railway communication between the coal-fields and mining
districts of Durham and Northumberland, and the important towns
and ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood, Newcastle. and Lancaster.
The entire length of the line 13 rich in mineral productions—coal
slate, limestone, marble, and other elements of a great local traffic
abound, and cannot fail to make this one of the most remunerative
projects of the day. A considerable saving of distance between the
important towns on the termini is effected over any existing or pro-
jected scheme. _ _

It will be reserved to the Committee of Management to make such
alterations in the line, or the amount of capital required, or other-
wise, as may be deemed most advantageous to the Interests ithe
Company. Power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate
of four per cent. on the calls from the passing of the Act to the
opening of the line, as well as to limit the liability of the shareholders
to the amount of their subscriptions only.

Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be had of the
Solicitors, and of the following brokers :
Messrs. Peppercorns, Old Broad-street, City, London ; Messrs. Jos.
King and Son, and Mr. Robt. Cardwell and Son, Manchester ; Messrs.

_
The first object of this line is to connect the town of Birmingham
Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route
and to supply an important link of communication between the town
of Spalding and the eastern coast, and the western aud midland
districts.

Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereham,
Lynn, and Holbeach Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn,
Witham, Castle Bytham, South Wytham, and Wymondham, to a
point on the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near Melton-
Mowbray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mid-
land Counties Railway, an almost direct route to Leicester, and
thence to Coventry and Birmingham by the proposed Coventry,
Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway.
The projected line will form the most direct communication be-
tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, and will, by
means of the proposed lines across the county of Leicester, via Bur-
ton-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincoln, Norfolk,
Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by many miles
than any other line of railway_
It will form, with other projected railways, an almost direct line
across the kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, on the east, to
Aberystwith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the west:
The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. There is note:mei-
ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary; the line
from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve milled, is very
level, and may be constructed at a small cost.
It will secure the advantages of railway communication to a tract
of country at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open-
ing out sources of trade undeveloped for want of the means of transit.
The central midland districts have felt greatly the want of direct
communication with the coast; and this line will at once supply tire
deficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire.
It will afford a transit for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei-
cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon
supply from the north at high prices : it will also secure the advan-
tages of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershire works,
to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, which are at present only
supplied at very high rates; and, in return traffic, tins midland dis-
tricts will obtain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and
agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk.
Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which is
the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, and
connected by the River Welland with the German Ocean.
The proposed capital will be sufficient for the construction of the
necessary works and every subsequent expense ; and the income
derivable from the traffic in passengers between Birmingham, Co-
ventry, Leicester, Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Boston, the trans-
port of corn, cattle, and other produce of the great agricultural
districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming
districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland
districts, will be sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay.
Tire Parliamentary surveys have been commenced, and are now
in active progress, and contracts—have been entered into which en-
sure sufficient time for compliance with the standing orders.
Forms of application for shares, plans, and prospectuses may be
had of the Solicitors ; also at the offices of the Company, 4, Tra-
falgar-square, Charing• cross, where applications for shares, accom-
panied by respectable references, may be addressed to the Provi-
sional Committee.
