Temporary Offices of the Company, No. 4, Frederick's-place, Old

Jewry,

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
manufacturing districts of Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, and Birming-
ham, and Iplace 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 irapsrtance of a direct communication between the coal (fields
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 1374 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 throughChesharn, Amersham,
Beaconsfield, to Slough, on the Great Western Railway ; through
Upton, Datchet, Egham, Staines, and Chertsey, it will reach the
Scuth-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 South-Western ; to Brighton and Dover by way of Rel•
gate and to all the railways of the north by way of Tring ; and it
will pass, as before stated, through the populous districts of Egham,
Staines, 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
Company 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
otkerwise.

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 ensuing session. A preference
will be given in the allotment of shares to the landowners and to the
shareholders in the several railways interested inns formation.

EIstGINEERS .
The Managing Committee have greRatEPORT pleasure in submitting the
following report, received from their engineer. This affords satisfac-
tory aSsutattet that the line will be certainly ready for the coming
session,
TO the Provisional Committee of the Tring and Reigate Railway.
Gentlemen,—l have the honour :to report to you that I have mi-
nutely:examined the country lying between Tring and Reigate for
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
Cobharn, 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 oat 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 mewls of
communication from the north and midlands' districts to Brighton
Committee and Dover, it will at the same time become a series of connecting
links
arrangements as will enable me to guarantee their going to
Parliament with
