Since the formation of the Company for making this railway, and
the allotment of the Shares for that part of the line between Chelms-
ford and Bury, the practicability, paramount importance, and supe-
rior advantages of its plan have been so unequivocally recognised by
the Board of Trade, and by the Committee of the House of Commons
for the railways of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, that the Provisional
Committee have determined to now, at once, adopt the extension of
their line, originally projected, from Bury to join the Norwich and
Brandon line at Thetford; thereby to complete the shortest and best
communication between London and Norwich, in the direction of the
old road, through all the chief central towns of Essex and Suffolk,
and at the same time to open a very direct communication with the
great trunk lines of the north and west.
For these important objects, to be secured by an extension of only
12 miles, to connect Bury St. Edmund's and Thetford, the Provisional
Committee propose to increase the capital 250,0001., by the issue of
10,000 additional shares; and, for full particulars of the entire plan,
refer to their original prospectus.
The Chelmsford and Bury line not having been projected in time to
bring it before parliament in the present session in a substantive form,
it has been but imperfectly, and merely incidentally, in opposing other
lines, that its merits could be at all brought under the notice of the
Board of Trade or of the Committee of the House ; but the strong
impression made, notwithstanding, in its favour, is obviously appa-
rent, both in the reports of the one and in the decisions of the other.
The Board of Trade, in stating the considerations upon which it ad-
vised the rejection of the Norwich Direct line, reported (March 4th,
1845) that " It is necessary to advert to a railway called the Chelms-
ford and Bury Railway, projected, but not brought before Parliament,
the plan, and section, and traffic tables of which have been submitted
to the Board of Trade. This railway appears to us to accommodate a
mere populous district than that intended to be traversed by the
London and Norwich Direct Railway. Its section shows that it
may be done at a moderate cost ;" (while) "there is a strong local
feeling in its favour, evinced by the memorials which have been re-
ceived by the Board of Trade from the inhabitants of Braintree,
Halstead, Sudbury, and other places between Chelmsford and Bury."
The Committee of the House of Commons have since not only
rejected the Norwich Direct and Bury and Cambridge lines, but the
Chairman (Lord Sandon), previous to giving a decision against the
Norwich Direct, took occasion to observe that "the Committee was
decidedly in favour of the Chelmsford and Bury scheme."
To these public testimonials in favour of the Chelmsford and
Bury line, the novisional Cemmittee have the satisfaction of
aiding, that by a special arrangement with the solicitor of the
Eastern Counties Railway, they are assured of the concurrence and
good offices of that important Company in the formation of their line.
In allotting their original Shares, the Provisional Committee ne-
cessarily rejected numerous applications, of which it may be pre-
sumed' that a considerable number were from parties as highly re-
spectable as any of those to whom Shares could then be given; and
in the distribution of the additional Shares a reasonable preference
will be given to original applicants, as well as to original Share-
holders.
Applications for Shares, in the annexed form, may be made to
the Secretary, at the Company's Offices, 61, Moorgate-street, Lon-
don.; to .the Solicitors, or any of, the Local Agents ; or to the fol-
lowing Jokers :—Messrs. Sheppard and Son, Threadneedle-street,

The promoters of this Railway, encouraged by the favourable sup-
port which has been given to the project, and in compliance with
various recommendations they have received, ha-e determined upon
the addition of a branch to Birkenhead, which, although it will
manifestly tend to the advantage of the Shareholders and the public,
will be attended with comparatively little additional outlay. The
project will still retain its chief characteristic of a direct railway,
and by its connexion, near Warrington, with the Grand Junction
any,
is sufficiently comprehensive, without resorting to a corn-
Cooicamptedsy
system of branch lines, or materially conflicting with the in-
terests of existing companies.

minster
Mr. William Meyrick, 2, Pumice's Inn, London
Mes3rs. Rose and Messrs. Tindal, Aylesbury
Messrs. Hearn and Nelson, and Mr. Henry Smith, Buckingham
The object of this undertaking is to supply railway communication
to the towns and districts lying between the London and Birming-
ham, and the Great Western Railways, giving them the best means
of access to the metropolis, and connecting them also with the
Northern and Eastern lines of railway, as welt as with Oxford and
the South."
The main line will commence from the London and Birmingham
Railway, near Harrow, and passing to the north of Uxbridge, will
proceed up the VallebChalfont, near Amersham and Chesham to
issenden and Wendover, t and hence to Aylesbury ; from which
place it will extend to Buckingham, and passing near Winslow, and
approaching Brackley, will terminate by a Junction with the proposed
Warwickshire and London Railway, near Banbury.
In addition to the line above described, it is intended also to con-
struct a Railway ftom the central station of the London and Bir-
mingham Railway at Wolverton to Buckingham, and thence through
Bicester to Oxford ; and in connexion with the line here proposed,
the Bedford, and London and Birmingham Company, intend to make
a connecting line between Bedford and Wolverton.
The proposed Buckingham and London and Birmingham Railway
Company (for the construction of a line from Wolverton to Bicester)
is amalgamated with this Company.
Accurate surveys of the country have been taken by Mr. Robert
Stephenson, and it has been ascertained that no engineering difficulty
of importance presents itself.
The undertaking has already received the sanction and support of
a very large proportion of the Nobility, Gentry, and Proprietors of
land through or near whose property it is intended to pass.
It is proposed that these lines should be made with the co-operation,
and under the direction and superintendence of the London and
Birmingham Railway Company ; under a lease, in perpetuity, at
four per cent. per annum on the outlay, with a conditional arrange-
ment as to the surplus profits.
It is intended to offer the shares in such proportion as the amount
of capital will allow of, to the holders of shares in the London,
Worcester and South Staffordshire Railway Company, subject to the
approbation of the Committee of Management, with the exception
°Minch as may be required for parties having local interests.

BUCKINGHAM and LONDON and BIR-
MINGHAM RAILWAY.
The public are respectfully informed that the Company for con-
structing the BUCKINGHAM and LONDON and BIRMINGHAM
RAILWAY is amalgamated with the BUCKINGHAMSHIRE
RAILWAY COMPANY.

Buckingham and London and Birmingham Company, and who may
wish to take Shares in the Buckinghamshire Company, are re-
quested to make application on or before the 20th day of August
instant, to any of the solicitors of the Buckinghamshire Railway.
In consequence of the arrangements with the Buckinghamshire
Railway Company, no Shares can be allotted except to parties locally
uterps' 1.

The line will commence at the city of Chester, and proceed by way
of Trafford, Frodsham, and Preston Brook, to Warrington, thence
by Lymm and Stretford direct to Manchester. From a point on the
main line, near Frodsham, a branch will be taken to join the Chester
and Birkenhead Railway, so as to unite Manchester in the most
direct manner possible, with the docks now being formed at Bir-
kenhead.
As Manchester, from its geographical position, is the centre of rail-
way communication between Scotland and the most populous dis-
tricts of England, so Chester, from a like cause, is the great centre of
railway communication between the capitals of Ireland and of Eng-
land. To congect these two points by a direct and independent. line
of railway must, therefore; be of the utmost importance, not only in
a local point of view, but to the whole commercial intercourse of the
country.
This line will be the most direct route, by Holyhead, to Ireland,
and will be, in all respects, by far the preferable channel of inter-
course and transit between Ireland and the great manufacturing dis-
tricts of England. By the railways connecting Chester with Wrex-
ham, Oswestry, Shrewsbury, Hereford, Gloucester, and South Wales,
this will be the nearest route from Manchester to the south-western
parts "of England, and to the mineral districts of Monmouth and
Glamorgaushire. The communication with Bristol, Gloucester, and
Exeter will be speedy and direct. On reference to the map, it will
be seen that a very considerable distance will be saved by this line,
as compared with the present circuitous routes by Crewe and by
Birkenhead; the former being 52 miles, and the latter 46 miles,
while the proposed line is only 31 miles, saving in the one case 18
miles, and in time other 12 miles, besides the serious inconvenience, loss
of time, and expense of passing through Liverpool, and crossing the
water at that place.

This line of railway Is intended to connect Leicester and the Mid-
land Counties with the miulng districts of South Staffordshire, and to
open a direct communication with the Staffordshire Potteries and
the great towns of Liverpool and Manchester.
• It will commence at Leicester, and running through or near to
Market Bosworth, will join the Trent Valley Railway near its inter-
section with the Birmingham and Derby Railway at Tamworth,
affording from thence a direct communication by way of LichtieLl,
to Walsall, Wolverhampton, Dudley, &c. ; and thence by the Grand
Junction and North Staffordshire Railways to Liverpool, Manchester,
and the Potteries.
The most direct through traffic will be conveyed by this Line from
Leicester to the important Railway points of Tamworth and Lich-
field, and consequently the nearest access will be obtained to the
immensely populated Iron and Coal Districts of South Staffordshire,
the Western Counties of England, and the great shipping town of
Liverpool.
The length of the line will be about 24 miles. It has been care-
fully surveyed, and reported to be well adapted to form an excellent
and direct communication between Leicester and Tamworth, at less
than the ordinary expense of construction.
The Capital intended to be raised is 400,0001., divided into 20,000
Shares of 201. each ; a deposit of 21. 2s. per Share will be required to
be paid upon the allotment, to the credit of the Directors, in account
with the Bankers of the Company.
The Parliamentary Contract and Subscribers' Agreement will be
required to be duly executed, when the Banker's receipts are ex-
changed for Scrip Certificates, of which due notice will be given ;
and the Deposits paid by parties making default in the execution of
the Parliamentary Contract and Subscribers' Agreement within the
time limited, will be absolutely forfeited.
A preference will be given in the allotment of the Shares to parties
locally interested in the Line, and to Shareholders In the Trent
Valley Railway.
Applications for Shares may be addressed to the Secretary, at the
Company's Offices, 4, Coleman-street, London ; to the Solicitors ; to
Messrs. Aston and Scott, stock brokers, Throgmorton-street, and

.....
It is confidently expected that this line will be the precursor of
another scheme, of no ordinary importance—namely, to render
Chester an efficient port for large vessels.
This subject was entdrtained by Sir John Rennie in 1835, and sub-
sequently, in the same year, by the late Mr. Chapman, who wrote an
able report upon the capabilities of the river Dee. It was again
and the practicability of forming a good navigable channel for vessels
together,lB3bY Sir John Rennie and Mr. George Remington,
with docks at Chestsr, was then fully and
investigatedo
lf e alarrl yg ed
bestablished.ur' ei ini

The entrance channel would commence at Dawpool. which is easy
of access (and infinitely preferab'e, in point of access and safety, to
the docks at Liverpool or Birkenhead), for vessels of large burden,
during eight hours every tide, both at springs and neaps; and the
till of the lock would be sufficiently low to admit vessels drawing 20
feet water to enter at all tides.
This railway, therefore, in connexion with the proposed docks,
will render to Chester and Manchester incalculable advantages. To
the former it will restore the proper position natural to so important
a city ; to the latter it will give another outlet, by sea, to the ma-
nufacturing districts, free of the heavy port charges, dues, and
risks to which the produce is now subject. It has not been thought
advisable to combine the two objects in one company at present,
but should it be found requisite, the two may hereafter be amalga-
mated.
Merits of no ordinary degree, therefore, may fairly be claimed for
this railway, whether taken in connexion with the proposed docks,
or as standing alone, combining as it does all the advantages of any
other lines, with this great addition, that it will be the high road to
the most convenient outport of Manchester, and will be quite inde-
pendent of any associations or influences that might tend to oppose
the growing desire for a moans of direct and Independent communi-
cation between Manchester and the port of Chester.
The line has been careflilly examined. There are no difficult
earth-works to be encountered ; on the contrary it will be cheap,
and of easy formation. Power is reserved to the Committee to de•.
viate ftom the proposed line in the vicinity of Manchester, should
ulterior arrangements render it expedient.

Depositshares, 7s. 6d. p Share.
The line will commence at or near Newbury, in Berkshire, and
proceed from thence in a direct course to Taunton ; thence by Tiver-
ton to or near Creditor, Okehampton, and Hatherleigh, Launceston,
and Truro, to the port of Fahnouth, with a continuation of the line
from Truro, by Redruth, to Penzance. The towns of Devizes, La-
vington, Ludgershall, Marlborough, Warminster, Westbury, Brad-
ford, Trowbridge, Frome, Bruton, Wells, Glastonbury, Shepton
Mallett, Castle Cary, Somerton, and Langport, and the populous vil-
lages in their vicinity, now destitute of the benefits of railway com-
munication, will have these advantages conferred upon them, and be
placed in immediate connexion with the metropolis.
The rich agricultural and mineral districts of Devon and Cornwall
will have similar advantages, and London will be connected with the
City of Exeter, and the ports of Plymouth, Falmouth (the packet sta-
tion of the empire), and Penzance, by the shortest and most direct
course. The proposed line will also unite the western districts of the
kingdom with Wales and the north and north-eastern counties, and
be to the Great Western Railway that which the Trent Valley is to
the London and Birmingham and Grand Junction Railways.
The wide gauge, the natural one of the western counties and of
Vales, will be adopted, and such portions of the Great Western line
as unite Newbury with the metropolis, and Taunton with Tiverton
and Exeter, will be connected by Junctions with the proposed line.
A distance exceeding thirty miles will be saved by the contem-
plated line between London and Exeter.
