This Company has been formed for the purpose of constructing u
line In continuation of the South-Eastern Railway at Reigate,
whereby a direct junction will be effected between the whole of the
south-eastern coast, including the port and harbour of Dover and the
several port• and towns of Southampton, Gosport, Portsmouth, and
Bristol ; and, by mesas of the Bristol and Birmingham Railway, with
Gloucester, Worcester, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and
the north of England.

From its proximity to the Coxtinent, the port of Dover will always
be the most accessible point of the English coast; an expeditious
communication therefore between that and ate other ports, harbours,
and inland towns of the United Kingdom, =St necessarily be regarded
as a great national advantage.
Dover is present the chief port of embarkat:on for Calais,
Boulogne, Ostend, and other continental towns, and the vast numbers
already resorting there both on business and pleasure, will he im-
measurably increased when the railways of France, Belgium, list-
land, and Germany era fully brought into operation.
In addition to which, the Government Commissioners having
selected Dover as a Harbour of Refuge, and recommended the outlay
there 1,500,000/.,• it cannot fail of becoming a place of the
greatest resort tOr the shipping and commercial interests of the coax-
try, a Al perhaps the most important town on the southern coast.

In every point of view, therefore, whether for national security, er
for travelling excursions, or the invaluable interests of our shipping
and commerce, the paramount importance of it cheaper, wore conve-
nient, and accelerated intercourse between this great port and all
Parts of the kingdom, must be sufficiently obvious. This the pre-
moters fully anticipate wilt be attained by the proposed rAway,
which will form a portion of a grand trunk line, completing Ole
chain of railway communication ~pon the-narrow gauge between the
south-eastern coast, and Bristol and the western, northern, and mid-
land counties. _ _ .

field, and Manchester Railway
Thomas Byrom, Esq., Alderman, Wigan, Director of the Manchester
and Wigan, and the Liverpool, Preston, and North Unlon Junction

The line will commence at the terminus of the South-E:.stel .111211-
way at Reigate, proceed thence by Dorkins, Gcdalm'n,J.
and Odiham to the Basingstoke station, en the South-Western Rail-
way. It will then proceed by Andover towards Devizes, 'I row-
bridge, and Bradford, with a branch to Bath, and pursuing its coarse
through the Somersetsbire coal-field, throwing off a branch tower -A
Radstock into the heart of the collieries, terminate in a junction with
the Bristol and Birmingham Railway at Bristol.
By its cour;e through Dorizing, Godahning, Farnham, and Odt-
ham, it will supply the railway accommodation so much required by
those towns, and connect the rich and fertile hop districts of Surrey,
Kent, and South Hants, and afford the means of conveyance of their
produce to the great Hop-fair at Weyhill.
By its junction with the contemplated " Reading, Guildford, and
Reigate Railway," it will afford to the inhabitants of Reading, Oxford,
and to the midland counties generally, the best and shortest route to
the Continent, as well as to Worthing, Hastings, IStiehlon, and the
other se:doing-places in Sussex and Kent; and a vast increase of
visitors will undoubtedly be attracted to those places from the interior
of England by the accommodation and facilities for travelling which
will be accomplished by this and the proposed railway from Reading.
By its intersection of the South-Western Railway at Basingstoke,
and of the proposed Manchester and Southampton Railway further
west, the present lino will connect Dover towards the south, with
Southampton (the packet station for the East and West Indies, &c.),
Gosport, and I ortsmouth, and towards the north, with Cheltenham,
Gloucester, Worcester, Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool, also
with Shrewsbury, Chester, and Holyhead, and In fact with the whole
of North and South Wales.
At Basingstoke, also, this line writ join the proposed London, Salis-
bury, and Yeovil Railway, and throw open to Dover and the south-
eastern counties the populous aid wealthy cities of Salisbury and
Exeter, the rich agricultural counties of Wilts, Dorset, Somerset,
and Devon, the p its of Plymouth, Devonport, and Falmouth, and
the mineral regions of Cornwall.
T. Devizes,'Trowbridge, Bradford, and Bath, and the other towns
in the vicinity of its course, the benefit
.which this line confer
cannot :se too highly estimated ; to the coal districts of Somerset-
shire it will open large and constant markets both in Bristol and to
the south and east, while to the inhabitants of Bristol especially, con-
necting its channel with the Straits of Dosser and the Downs, pro-
viding a perfect line for telegraphic communication, end securing to
them the whole of the trade between the south-cast of England and
the west and south of Ireland, it seems difficult, considering the enor-
mous traffic which must necessarily flow to that city, to conceive a
project more deserving of their cordial support.
In the memorable Parliamentary contest last session between two
great rival companies, the Legislature for the first time admitted
that princip7e of competition with existing interests which was
claimed by the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company for
the protection and benefit of the public ; and it Is with no Mar of
the remit that the promoters of the present undertaking invite
attention to cue distinguishing feature it contains, viz., that by the
construction of the line from Bristol t, Basingstoke, the Box Tunnel
will be avoided, and a new and independent communication will be
established between Bristol and London, by a shorter line on the
narrow gauge than by the devious course of the Great Western, inde-
pendently of all the advantage: of the proposed centres station et
Hungerford-bridge, and the convenient access to the Thames both
there and at Nine Elms, over the distant and inconvenient station
of tie Great Western at Paddington.
In leiryth the proposed line will be nearly 110 miles (assuming this
Convexly to lows the construction of that portion between Reigate
and Dorking, for which plans have been deposited by the South-
Eastern Company)—the country through which it passes does not
present any i ngineering difficulties of moment, nor will any resi-
dential or ornamental property be interfered with except under au
Ira perative necessity.
A reserve of shares will be made for landowners on the line, and
the Committee also retain to themselves the power to vary the course
of the line with reference to any arrangements with existing interests
and projected lines that may be considered advantageous to the
shareholders.
The capital proposed to be raised is 1,500,0(0/., in 75,000 shares of
201. each, with a deposit of 2/. 2s. per share, to be paid on allotment.
Power will be taken by the Act to allow interest, at 4/. per cent.
per annum, upsn all deposits and subscriptions until the opening of
the line, and no subscriber shall be answerable for more than the
amount of his deposit until the Act has been obtained, and then not
beyond the amount of his subscription.
The Subscribers' agreement and the Parliamentary Contract will
be ready for execution, and the scrip issued immediately upon pay!.
meat of the deposits.
Applications for shares must be addressed to the Secretary, at the
Offices of the Company, No. 12, Gray's Inn-place, only ; but 113 appli-
cation will be attended to unless accompanied •by a reference to a
member of the Provisional Committee, one of the solicitors to the
Company, or a banker.
Copies of the prospectus and form of application for shares may be
obtained at the offices of the Company, or of Messrs. Peppercorne, Old
Broad-street ; Mr. Sym, 9, Tokenhouse-yard ; and Mr. B.

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
LONDON to DUNGENESS POINT.
(Provisionally Registered.)
A Company has been formed or the purpose of making a harbour
and dock. at DUNGENE!•Asi POINT and connecting them by means
of a short line with the Tunbridge and Itye Harbour Railway 'o
London. A view of the map will at once show the great national
advantage of this harbour as a port of refuge, and the certaihty of
its becoming the i ort for the whole of the French and Peninsular
traffic, being a considerable saving in distance both by laud and sea,
in comparison with the present routes by Dover and Folkstone.
The merits'of this scheme will be best estimated by a reference to
the report of the Covermnent Commissioners on the projected har-
bours of refuge. Prospectuses, with the names of the Committee and

The proposed railway is intended to commence on the Trent
Valley Railway near Stafford, and proceedin; thence in 'an easterly
direction, to pass through, or near to, Tixall, Ilaywood, Colwich, and
Abbott's Bromley, to the rapidly-increasing town of Burton upon-
Trent, where 1 will run into the Birmingham and Derby Railway,
forming the shortest and best practicable route from Stafford to
Derby. Le'i.ving the Birmingham and Derby Railway at Burton-
upon-Trent, it will proceed along the valley of the Trent by Repton,
Swarkestone, and Shardlow, to the Midland Counties Railway at the
point where that railway forms a Junction with the Derby and Not-
tingham Railway ; and thus, by means of these end other railways
in progress, form a complete line of railway communication between
the central towns of Stafford, Derby, Nottin..diam, Lincoln, Leices-
ter, Peterborough, and Boston, on the east, and Shrewsbury, Ches-
ter, and Holyhead, North Wales, and Ireland, on the west.
This railway will, therefore, form the only connecting, link re-
quired in the great chain of railway communication from east and
west through the heart of the kingdom, uniting the shores of the
German Ocean on the cast with► those of the Irish Sea on the west, and
traversing in its course the rich agricultural districts of the eastern,

Lei-
rester, and Shrewsbury. But another most important advantage
that will result from the formation of tills line will consist in the
fact of its affording, in connexion with the proposed South Union, or
Manchester and Potteries Railway, by far the shortest and best
route between Derby, Nottingham, Newark, Lincoln, Peterborough,
Leicester~ and Loughborough, 'and the extensive and populous dis-
tricts of• the Staffordshire • Potteries, Macclesfield, Stoekpott, and
Manchester. By the proposed line the distance between Nottingham
and Derby and Manchester will be at least from 15 to 20 miles less
than by the present circuitous route by Sheffield.
The traffic on this line must necessarily be equal, if slot superior,
to that of any line in the district.
Tile length of the line will be about 33 miles, through a country
presenting no difficulties of snore than an ordinary kind for its con-
struction.

The capital proposed to be raised is 600,000!., in shares of 20/.
each, upon which a deposit of 21. 2s. per share must be paid upon the
allotment. No call will be made until the Act is obtained, and no
subscriber will be liable beyond the amount or his deposit until the
Act Is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription ;
and the usual power will be taken to.allow interest at four per cent.
from the time of payment Om each call until the opening of the
line.

The Subscriber: Agreement and the Parliamentary Contract must
be executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip cer-
tificates, of which 14 days' notice will be given ; and the deposits
paid by any party making default in the execution of those deeds will
be forfeited.

The object of this railway is to provide for the above-named
densely -populated and rapidly improving manut. clueing towns and
villages, a dirict and convenient outlet towards York, Selby, Hun,
Goole, Grimsby, and the east.
In conjunction with the West hiding Union, Liverpool and Leeds,
and other projected railways passing through cr near to Halifax, the
undertaking now proposed will hum one of the most direct railway
emu-mullein ions, as well between the ports of Liverpool and Hull, as
between the great manufacturing districts of the west, and the agri-
cultural distr;ets of the East.

•
The popnlation residing upon and along the proposed line between
Halifax and Mobley exceeds 200,000 persons, who are chiefly en7aged
in manufacturing and mining industry—to such a community a rail-
way passing immediately through it, giving a nearer and more con-
venient access to the Irish Channel and the Getman Ocean and the
intermediate places, is an object of importance, and promises, when
accomplished, to confer great advantages on the inhabitants, and to
secure to the shareholders an staple return for the capital invested.
By this- project the valuable coal fields of W.ke, Batley, Soothill,
East and West Ardsley, Lofthome, and Stanley (containing
the well known " Bowling and Low Moor," " High Moor,"
and Stanley Main," beds which re now wrought to a •on-
siderable extent), will be furnished, for the first time, with
the means of cheap and convenient railway transit toHalifax
and ether large towns westward, and to Yoric, S IHy, linll,
Goole, Grimsby, and various other places eastward. The celebrated
flagstone quarries of Northowram and Southowram, which annually
expert from Goole, Selby, and Hull, to the eastern coast of England
and to the Continent, large quantities of flag,, paving stones, and
slates, will supply this line of railway with a col siderable amount of
traffic.

A great pot%ion of the traffic in passengers and goods upon the
Brighton and Dover Once is supplied from the west-end of London
and. the Birmingham and Great Western Railways. The necessity
of proceeding to the station at London-bridge, and by the present
circuitous route to Croydon, is a serious and unnecessary inconveni-
ence, entailing ad.,,c0„1 expense and delay. The removal of this
long-felt grievance is a leading object with the promot,rs of the pre-
sent andertaking. They deem it rlght, however, to observe, in lay-
ing this scheme before the public, that they have no desire to inter-
fere with existing railway interests, further than is absolutely indis-
pensable, but that on the other hand it will be their object to yield
assistance to, and in return endeavour to secure it, from each com-
pany wills which this line may ultimately be connected.
A glance at the map will show, that as a branch or arm of the
London and Brighton Railway, this undertaking completes a straight
line of communication from the west end of London to Croydon,
Reigate, and Brighton, and renders the ports of Dover and Tolke-
stone, as well as the several places on the South-Eastern line, more
easily accessible from that part of the metropolis.
The great amount of traffic at this present time uPon the roads be-
tween Croydon, Mitcham, Tootbsg, tc., and London, proves at once
tl.at the existing railway facilities do not at all meet the eyigencies
of the mass of population to whoM this line will he available:
Tice population who reside npon or in the immediate neighbour-
hood of the proposed line, independent of the metropolis, and belwca n
the intended termini, exceeds 100,000, whose wants are almost
whory supplied from the London markets, &c., and who have, at
the present time, no mode of conveyance hut upon the turnpike
road. In tha transit of buildirg materials, corn, coal, lime, and
other heavy goods, from the warehouses and wharfs on the banks of
the Thames, and for marketable produce in each_ direction, this line
must become to them partieniarlY useful and convent, nt.
Some idea may he formcd of the local necessity of this railway.
when it is known that the 111.1111bCr.Of passengcts who avail themselves
of the-accommodation afforded by the several onmibuses and other
pub Ltvehicles, - running upon the turnpike road, have been ascer-
tained to exceed 2,600 daily. An equal number (at least) proceed

By means rf the Leeds and Dewsbury Railway, now in course of
construction (which the proposed line will intersect at Batley), the
inhabitants of the clothing districts previously mentioned will have
the reasiiest access to the Leeds markets and to the country north
of Leeds.

By a junction at Cleckheaton with the Bradford and Dewsbury
branch of the West Riding Union hallway the present scheme will
give to Halifax and its populous neighbourhood the shortest railway
communication with Dewsbury, and in connexion with other pro-
posed lines with Barnsley, &c.
The same junction at Cleckheaton will give to Bradford and the
linrortant iron works at Wilrey, and Low Moor, the nearest route to
Selby, Hull, and the cast; consequently this railway company, may
fairly lay claim to carry a large portico of the raw material and ma-
nuracturcd productions, used and produced in that densely-peopled
portion of Yorkshire.
Frost a point on the main line at or near Poothill, it is intended to
make a branch to Wakefield of about five miles down the Alvertherne
Valley, there to join the Pontefract and Goole, the Wakefield branch
of the London and York, and the Midland Railways. It is evident,
therefore, that the proposed railway and its intended branch (aided
by the West Riding Union line between Bradford and Cleckheaton)
will provide the shortest route hitherto projected from Halifax and
Bradford to Wakefield, Doncaster, and the eastern counties.
From Halifax to the proposed jui:ct on at Methley the distance will
be about nineteen miles ; and, although the Lndulating surface of the
country along a portion of the line will occasion some expensive
works, yet the proposed capital is amply sufficient to complete the
whole of the railway, with its branches and stations. And the pro-
