Offices, 6, Old Jewry, October 22, 1846.
Sir,—Many Members of our Committee are aware that the nego-
tiations with the larger 'Companies, whose interests are identified
with this project, and whose support the Committee were led to ex-
pect, retarded for a considerable time the surveys and other pre-
liminaries required by the standing orders of Parliament ; never-
theless, until within these few hours, we felt confident that our ar-
rangements were such as to secure a compliance with those orders ;
but the engineers whose services we fully relied upon have disap-
pointed us, and we are this day only reluctantly brought to the
'conclusion that there is not sufficient time to complete the surveys
of this important line with that extreme care which we deem
requisite in presenting any new project to the ensuing session. We
feel justified, however, by the numerous and substantial expres-
sions of support we have received, in pressing upon the Committee
the necessity of continuing their cordial co-operation in aid of this
project, entertaining as we do, in common with others of no mean
authority, the full conviction that it must eventually receive the
sanction of the Legislature.
We have the honour to be,
Your very obedient and faithful servants,

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.

CAMBRIDGE and COLCHESTER
RAILWAY.
Capital, 800,0001., in 40,000 Shares of 201. each.
Deposit, 21. 2s. per Shase.
This Company has been formed for Making the above line of rail-
way, and a list of the Provisional Committee, containing most in-
fluential names, will appear in a few days.
This railway will commence at the University town of Cambridge,
and proceed Min thence to Colchester, passing through or near the
towns of Linton, Haverhill, Great Yeldham, iledingham, and Hal-
stead, proceeding by Thorp and Weeley to Walton-on-the-Naze.
On reference to the map, it will be seen that this line will pass
through a part of the country at present unprovided with railway
accommodation, and bring the town of Cambridge in close connexion
with Colchester, and the fast improving seaport town of Harwich,
and by means of the railways already. formed and proposed to be
formed, will open a communication with Yorkshire and all parts of
the north, with Leicester, Nottingham,.. Derby, Manchester, Liver-
pool, and other large manufacturing towns, and the rich mineral
districts of Staffordshire, the important towas of Birmingham and
Worcester, north and south Wales, and by the Northampton, Ban-
bury and Cheltenham Railway, with all parts of the west of England,
as well as opening a direct communication to the important seaport
towns on the eastern coast.
A considerable Parliamentary grant having been made to improve
the harbour of Harwich, a Company has been formed to snake large
and commodious docks at that place, and from the fact of llarwich
being directly opposite the ports of. Holland (thus bringing it in
communication with the railways In Germany) there is no doubt
but that Harwich will become a flrst.rate sea-post town for exten-
sive commercial and passenger traffic, and will be a powerful
feeder to this line.
The town of Colchester is also a sea-port, from which coals and
goods in large.quantities are supplied to Halstead and the adjacent
populous towns and villages, and goods, flour, malt, Br.c., la large
quantities are shipped (supplied from the district through which this
line is proposed to pass) to London and other places.
Therefore this line will open a communication much .needed, and
there cannot be any doubt but that the undertaking Is one of great
importance, as affording railway accommodation to a large and po-
pulous district of country through which it will pass, and that it
will pay a good rate of interest on the capital invested
From Colchester the line will proceed to4he fast-improving and
much admired watering-place, Walton-on the-Naze, passing ;trough
Thorp and Weeley, and thereby affording railway accommodation
from the Midland Counties to that place of summer resort for sea
Lathing.
Power will be applied for to allow 41. per cent. on deposits an
all calls until the line is opened.
Prospectuses and plans will be forthwith issued, and, in the
meantime applications for Shares may be made to the solicitors,
George Weller, Esq. 8, King's-road, Bedford-row, London; George
Pell, jun., Esq. Welford, Northamptonshire ; and George Cooke, Esq.

The Provisional Committee of the North London Junction Rail-
way Company have great satisfaction in informing their subscribers
that negotiations are now pending between the Provisional Commit-
tee of this Company and the Directors of the Railways north of the
Thames of such a character as to assure them that the City terminus
of this Company will form the Grand Terminus of, all the City traffic
north of London.
To effect this important object, an area of 10 acres of ground (the
southern boundary of which is within 500 yards of the Bank of
England) has been most carefully surveyed and valued, and the re-
port of the architect and engineer is of so favourable a character as to
have induced the Provisional Committee to determine on purchasing
the entire site, and it has, therefore, been resolved by them to in-
crease the capital of this Company to 1,300,080/.
The Provisional Committee consider it of paramount importance
to secure within the limits of their City terminus, the amplest and
most complete accommodation for the traffic of each of the railway
companies who may co-operate with them, an object which will be
effected by opening the very extensive and valuable space of ground
alluded to, within the centre of the City of London.
In conjunction with this enlarged plan, it is intended to embrace
that of a branch line to the present station of the Eastern Counties
Railway in Shoreditch, which will effect an entire junction between
the eastern and western parts of the metropolis ; and at the same
time afford a direct communication between the whole of the rail.
ways, which reach London tothe north of the Thames, and give
full development to each of their schemes by creating for them a
common centre within the heart of the metropolis.
Independently, therefore, of the almost incalculable local traffic
which the position of their City terminus will ensure to this Com-
pany, will be added that of those companies also who will eventually
co-operate with the North London Junction Railway Company, and
the perfection of a project of no ordinary magnitude and importance
will be realised throughout the whole of this short but very valuable
line of railway.
A lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the
entire district through which this Company proposes to run this line;
by this means the most casual observer will be enabled to ascertain
that the environs of London, north of the Thames, will be placed in
immediate communication with the City ; while the dense popu-
lation of the City will enjoy a facilty of connexion with its suburban
localities, necessarily affording it the :greatest accommodation.
With such important local resources, therefore, together with the
vast traffic on which the shareholders of this Company have a right
to rely for profit, a large amount of revenue may be fairly and justly
anticipated, fully commensurate with the outlay of the proposed
capital. That revenue will be derived thus :
The daily passenger traffic on the Great Western amounts to
3,345, one-half of which reaches the City. The London and Bir-
mingham amounts to 4,322 daily, two-thirds of which reach the
City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,400 persons daily, half
of whom pass to the West-end of London. The omnibus traffic daily
is 30,894 passengers, two-thirds of which may be given to the City.
Passengers from the suburban districts reaching the City, now un-
accommodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily.
From these sources the folowing products are derived:—

way, at Gd. each.. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • . • • . ..... ..... £52,523

SOLICITORS.

Mr. Wiliam Barker I New-street, Huddersfield.
Messrs. Brook and Freeman

The object of this undertaking is to form a continuous line of rail-
way from Leeds to Liverpool, by extending the lines already made,
or sanctioned by Parliament, from their respective termini at Hu
rail-
d-
dersfield, in Yorkshire, and Bury, for which extension a line of
way only 25 miles in length is requisite. The proposed line will com-
mence at the Huddersfield station, between which place and Leeds.
Parliament has already sanctioned the formation of railways, and
from Huddersfield the proposed line will proceed by way of Hillhouse'
Birchencliffe, and Lindley, and thence along e valley between
Stainland and Greetland, through Bark'sland, the Vale ofßipponden,
and by Rochdale to Bury; in Lancashire, where it will join the ter-
minus of the Liverpool and Bury line of railway.
In addition to completing a direct communication from Liverpool
to Leeds, Hull, and Goole, by the shortest practicable route, and by
a much smaller outlay of capital, than by any other proposed line, it
will provide for a large and important manufacturing population,
hitherto without the advantage of railway accommodation, an outlet
to the south by means of the Huddersfield and Sheffield Junction
Railway, and to Manchester and to North and South Lancashire by
the railways above mentioned, and by the Leeds and Manchester
Railway, by a proposed junction therewith at Rochdale.
This line, when completed, vrill, in addition to the advantages
which it presents as a through line, pass through a succession of val-
leys thickly studded with mills and manufactories, consuminsr a
large quantity of raw materials and coal, all of which are brought
Irma a distance, and transmitting to other districts the produce of
their industry, for which purposes a line of railway has become ab-
solutely necessary, and there can be no doubt that au ample return
will be realised for the outlay of capital required.
The distance between Huddersfield and Rochdsed ale by the p
avesrent
be
line of railway is thirty miles, which by the props railway
reduced to seventeen miles.
The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the right of enter-
ing iato any arrangements with existing railway companies that may
appear desirable. And power will be taken by the Act of Parliament
to allow interest to the shareholders at the rate of 41. per cent. per
annum on the amounts paid on their shares from the respective times
of payment to the times of opening the railway.
Applications for shares may be addressed, in the subjoined form, to
any of the undermentioned Sharebrokers, viz.—Messrs. Hill, Fawcett
and Hill, Threadneedle-street, London; Mr. David Kinnear, Edin-
burgh ; Messrs. W. Moore and Co., Messrs. J. Gatliff and Co.,

This railway will connect the east and west coasts, and form a
sirect 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 Lonsdale, Sedbergb,
and Kirkby Stephen, and thence by the most practicable lino to New-
castle. It will run nearly parallel with the old coach road, which
has hitherto bees 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, aml Lancaster.
The entire length of the line is rich in mineral productions—coal,
slate, limestone, marble, and other elements of a great local traffic
abound, and cannot fail to make this one ef the most remunerative
projects of the day. A considerable saving of distance between the
important towns on the termini is effected over any existing er pro-
jected scheme.
It will be reserved to the Committee of Management to make such
alterations in the line, or the ammnt of capital required, or other-
' wise, as may be deemed most advantageous to the interests of the
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.
