This line will commence at the Reading Station of the Great
Western Railway, and proceed by Wokingham, Bracknell, Sunning-
hill, between Ascot and Bagshot, and by Chobliam, and will cross the
South Western Railway near the Woking Station. It will proceed by
Ockham, Cobham, and Leatherhead, through the Vale of Mickleham,
to Dorking, and thence on the north of Reigate to the Junction of
the Brighton and Dover Railways, at the Red Hill Station.
The line will be forty miles in length, and will complete a direct
railway communication to and from Bristol, the whole West of Eng-
land, North and South Wales, and every part of Great Britain lying
West and North of Oxford, With Brighton, Dover, and the Con-
tinent.

Whilst the proposed line presents no engineering difficulties, it is
the one best suited to the wants of the partieslocally interested,whose
support is thus secured to the present undertaking ; and it has been
ascertained that, independently of a large local traffic, the through
transit of passengers and merchandize ►ill realize an ample return
on the capital.

The capital intended to be raised is 600,0001., divided into 30,000
shares of 201. each. A deposit of 2/. 2s. per share must be paid upon
allotment, in accordance with the Standing Orders of the House
of Lords ; and no call will be made until an act of parliament shall
be obtained, authorizing the construction of the works.
The liability of the Shareholders will be limited by the Act to the
amount of their shares respectively subscribed for; and power will
be applied for to allow interest, at the rate of 4/. per cent. per annum,
on the calls, from the date of each payment, until the opening of
the line.

The Subscribers' Agreement and the Parliamentary Contract must
be duly executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for cer-
tificates of scrip, of which notice will be given ; and the deposits
paid by parties making default in the duo execution of the Sub-
scribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract within the time
limited will be forfeited.
In the allotment of shares, a preference will be given to parties
locally interested in the line, and to Shareholders of the Great Wes-
tern, South-Western, London and Brighton, and South-Eastern
Railways.
Applicatiors for shares, accompanied by a reference to some re-
spectable person, must be made in the form appended hereto, at the
temporary offices of the Company, No. 1, Old Jewry, London, or to
the solicitors, parliamentary, or local agents.:

- -

This extension has been adopted for the purpose of continuing the
direct line of railway from London to Falmouth and Penzance, ac-
cording to the plan and intention, as originally proposed, of the Direct
London and Exeter railway. The projectors were prevented by the
unavoidable absence of their engineer, and the deputation who in-
tended to bo present at the meeting lately held in Cornwall, bringing
their plan before it on that occasion, though it is, in fact, the only one
really practicable to effect the object in view, being wholly free from
the objections attendant on a junction of several small Companies
working from the South Western. ..
The Committee regret to find that the plan of a line from London
to Falmouth, first projected by the present Company,should, with
them,
many of its peculiar features, leave been recently adopted by others,
in a way calculated to mislead *the public nand
thou into a belief, that the
undertaking has been projected by h it was never sug-
gested till the Direct London azd Exeter Company made the commu-
nlcation from London to Falmo nth a main principle of action.
The extension line will pro4aeed from Exeter to Cheriton, Oke-
hampton, Launceston, Bodmia, St. Columb, Truro, and Penzance,
with branches from Okehamptc m to Barnstaple and Ilfracombe, one
from Launceston to Plymouth, and another from Truro to Falmouth.
The deficiency of traffic, pope lation, and trade, for any undertaking
wholly confined to Cornwall ar .d Devonshire is admitted beyond dis-
pute, but arrangements have Teen made for immediately carrying
out the line from Exeter to Fal mouth, with that of Loudon to Exeter,
so as to form one integral comp tunication from London to Falmouth
and Penzance, worked by two 'capitals, for one object end under one
Company, and which will forrto a highly profitable undertaking as an
integral scheme.
Any parties interested in the' success of this national undertaking,
are requested to communicate with the Committee forthwith, and
are particularly advised not to 'pledge themselves to any other plan
attempted to interfere with tilt . original project of the Direct London
m (di the requisites for ultimate success, and
and Exeter Company. Anv of aer undertaking will, upon examina-
tion, be found wanting
the failure of which must create great loss to tbo subscribers of any
competing line.
The Prospectus of the enti re line, under one management, will be
published In a few days; mea awhile any Rather information, plans of
the line, and conies of the letter addressed to the landowners of
Cornwall, may be obtained of D. E. Colombine, Esq., 8, Carlton
Chambers, Regent-street, Solloitor to the entire Company, to whom,
or to the Provisional Committee, at 52, Regent-street, applications
for Shares may be made in the n seal form.
N.B. This announcement har..ng reference to the additional capital
required for the extension merea y, will not in any way interfere with
the applications for shares, in 9.41 Direct London and Exeter Railway,

LOUTH and MIDLANDS JUNCTION and
BICESTER, SWINDON, MARLBOROUGH, and DEVIZES

RAILWAY.

The Committee of Management announce to the public that no
applications for Shares in this undertaking can be received after
WEDNESDAY, the 10th inst., immediately after which the Committee
will proceed to make the allotment. Those applicants who do not
receive letters of allotment wid be pleased to consider that it has
been found impossible to comply with their requests.
