ENGINEER—George Remington, Esq.
The title of this line sufficiently and correctly explains the object
of the undertaking.
The Birmingham terminus will be placed in communication with
all the other railways having a station in that town, and will be
brought as near as practicable to its centre. Proceeding thence in a
northerly direction, and on the west side of the Lichfield road, it will
pass within a short distance of Sutton Coldfield, and to Lichfield, at
the latter of which places there will be a station in communication
with the projected Walsall lines.
Thence crossing the Trent Valley, near King's Bromley, it will
pursue the course of the Blythe Valley, or by or near to Abbots
Bromley to Leigh, where it will leave the Blythe Valley, and by a
short cutting reach the Tean station on Remington's London and
Manchester line at the junction of the Crewe branch, or by a junc-
tion with whichever of the projected lines to Manchester may be
adopted by Parliament.
The entire length of the new line to be made will not exceed
thirty-four miles, and the whole will be carried over a most favour-
able country—two-thirds being a water-level.
Sections of a great portion of the line have been made, and the en-
tire Parliamentary survey will be completed by the 9th ofOctober.
This railway will afford a route from Birmingham to Manchester
eleven miles shorter than by any existing or projected line. It will
also give the best and nearest line between Huddersfield, and Bir-
mingham.
It will also furnish a nearer and more direct route from Birming-
ham to the Potteries than any line made or projected by several
mile., assuming any of the projected Pottery lines to have their ter-
mini at Col*ich, on the Trent Valley, or at Stafford, on the Grand
Junction Railway ; thus giving to Manchester, and also the Pot-
teries, the shortest, easiest, and most direct route to Birmingham.
It will also give the nearest line between Huddersfield and Birming-
ham and Southampton.
This railway crosses the projected Leeds and Huddersfield and
Wolverhampton Direct Railway. In the Blythe Valley a station will
be placed, and communication effected, so as to afford to Birmingham
the shortest route by many miles, with Leeds, Huddersfield, Sheffield,
and the northern parts of England. In allotting shares every legi-
timate preference will be given to landholders on the line.
It is obvious that the projected line will afford an ample return to
the shareholders.
For prospectuses, shares, and every information, apply to the
solicitors, W. Arnold-Bainbrigge, Esq., Uttoxeter ; or at the Offices
of the Company, No. 1, Moorgate, London. -

The principal objects of the scheme are-Ist. To remedy the evils
of delay and inconvenience to which parties are, at the present time,
necessarily subjected in proceeding from the west end of the metro-
polis to Croydon, or the most distant places on the South-Eastern
and London and Brighton Railways, as well as the several sea ports
and packet-stations on the coasts of Kent and Sussex; and 2d. To
supply to the numerous and wealthy inhabitants of the district
through which the intended line will pass (at present wholly with-
out railway accommodation), a greatly improved means for the in-
terchange of communication with the metropolis, and with each other.
Commencing at the intended terminus of the South-Western Rail-
way, at Hungerford or Waterloo-bridge, the line will take the most
practicable route to Kennington, from thence it will follow as near as
possible the old turnpike road, passing through or near to the
wealthy and populous districts of Stockwell, Clapham, Brixton,
Tulse-hill, Streatham, Norwood, Beulah, and Thornton-heath, effect-
ing a junction at Croydon with the several existing or projected
lines from that place.
It is also proposed to form a branch or branches from the neigh-
bourhood of Streatham to Mitcham and Tooting, and thus to extend
to those places, and their respective neighbourhoods, the advantages
of a direct railway communication with the metropolis.
A great portion of the traffic in passengers and goods upon the
Brighton and Dover lines 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 additional expense and delay. The removal of this
long-felt grievance is a leading object with the promoters of the pre-
sent undertaking. They deem it right, 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 with 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 Folke-
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 the present time upon the roads be-
tween Croydon, Mitcham, Tooting, &c., and London, proves at once
that the existing railway facilities do not at all meet the exigencies
of the mass of population to whom this line will he available.
The population who reside upon or in the immediate neighbour-
hood of the proposed line, independent of the metropolis, and between
the intended termini, exceeds- 100,000, whose wants are almost
wholly supplied from the London markets, &c., and who have, at
the present time, -no mede of conveyance but upon the turnpike
road. In the transit of building materials, corn, coal, lime, and
other heavy goods, from the warehohses and wharfs on the banks of
the Thames, and for marketable produce in each direction, this line
must become to them particularly useful and convenit nt.
Some idea may be formed et the local necessity of this nilway
ir,en it is known that the number ofpassengers who avail themselves
of the aclommodation afforded by the several omnibuses and othe-
pit lievehiel.. ib. '
nave Leon tweet-
' tamed to exceed 2,600 daily. An equal number (at least) proceed
by private and other conveyances. Of foot passengers, although
no accuiCe estimate eau be formed of them, it is equsidered that

they at least number four times that of passengers who travel by con-
veyance. The tornage of goods it is calculated will be In full pro-
portion to the receipt from passengers.
Experience has fully proved, that on however liberal a scale the
probability of future traffic in the transit of goods and passengers has
been judged, almost every line of railway has, upon its completion,
vastly exceeded the calculated amount. There are, however, in this
Instance, reasons for supposing that the extended facilities of com-
munication will cause more than an ordinary increase In the con-
veyance of passengers. The country which the line of railway will
open is singularly picturesque and beautiful, and in addition to the
admired districts of Brixton and Streatham, the long-favoured and
much-frequented Beulah and Norwood will be placed within easy
access, and become more than ever, objects of interest and delight
to the visitor and resident of the metropolis.

This railway will commence at Sheerness in conjunction with
short steam-ferry communication from a point at or near to South-
end, on the opposite Essex coast, and will proceed from Sheerness
by Queenborough to Faversham, where it will form a junction with
one of the proposed lines from London by that town to Canterbury
and Dover.

The integral line will be continued from Faversham to or near to
Herne Bay, and from thence to the South-Eastern Extension
Railway (now being made), at a point near Sarr, and will then pro-
ceed on that line direct to Ramsgate eastwards, and direct to Veal
south-eastwards. From a point between Herne Bay and Sarr the
line will also be carried by a short extens;on to Margate.
By this project Afargiee will be placed within 75 miles of the me-
tropolis, instead of more than 100, as at
present, and the, too, by a
direct line through Faversham, at which place it will meet the Lon-
don lines.
The important town of Ramsgate, now so extensively connected
with continental communication, will also be thus afforded a much
nearer overland route to London ; and Deal, Ramsgate, Margate,
Herne Bay, Sheerness, Chatham, Rochester, Gravesend, Woolwich,
Greenwich, and London, will all be placed in immediate or easy con-
nexion upon one continuous line of railway.
By means also of this undertaking, in conjunetbn with the exist-
ingnveyed
t oto
a
and projected railways proceeding to the south coast of Essex.
the whole of the passengers and traffic from Liverpool, Manchester,
Leeds, Hull, York, and the Northern, the Midland, and the
Easternvia Sheerness, Counties,w ill be w
in
preferencecir-
cuitous route through the metropolis, whereby the journey will be
shortened more than 50 nines, travelling expenses will be curtailed,
and the serious inconvenience and delay of transhipment and con-
veyance from one part of London to another wholly avoided.
A glance at the map also will show the immense advantage which
Dover and the Conti-
nentand
the metropolis itself will enjoy by its being thus aftbrded other routes
to the coast of Kent. The millions who annually seek pleasure in
excursions to Gravesend, Sheerness, Southend, Herne Bay, Margate,
Ramsgate, Deal, and Dover, will have a choice of different routes.
They may proceed by railway, on the Essex side of the Thames, to
the Thames Haven, Tilbury Fort, or Southend—pass over to Sheer-
ness by water, and thence proceed direct by this railway—or they
may reach Sheerness wholly by water, and then avoid the sea—or,
may pass at once from London, on the Surrey side of the Thames,
to Sheerness, Herne Bay, Margate, and Ramsgate, by railway in a
direct line, cohsuming only about two hours in the journey, and may
vary their pleasure by going in one direction and retuniing by
another.
Independently of the vast multitudes who will thusnn seee k health
the above-mentioned towns, and giving a direct line from Sheerness to
and recreation, the importance, as a national object, of cocting
Dover, together a ith the immense existing traffic in the direction of
the undertaking, and the great increase which the improved and
enlarged modes of communication throughout Kent will occasion,
must be too apparent to need further observation ; and the Commit-
tee, from careflil inquiry, feel confidence in stating that no scheme of
railway has yet been offered to public attention combining greater
public and private advantages.
About thirty-six miles of new railway only will embrace all the
above important objects—viz., from Sheerness to Faversham

undertaking should be accomplished, and it is at the request of many
of them that the promoters have determined on prosecuting it.
The Committee reserve the power of making branches to Canter-
bury
and to Deal, if circumstances should hereafter render it ad-
visable.
The liability of the shareholders will be restricted to the amount

Assuming the northern terminus of the Erewash Railway
as its origin, this line will pass through localities totally un-
provided with railway accommodation, into the populous ma-
nufacturing districts of Lancashire. It will continue the
important line from which it borrows the prefix of its name,
from Alfreton, in Derbyshire, where it will be a recipient of
traffic from the Cromford Canal—communicating with the Codnor
ironworks—along the Dinting Vale, and, obeying the course of the
river Derwent, enter Yorkshire, in the vicinity of Saddleworth. In
its course, it will pass through or near to Matlock, Ashbourne, Glos-
sop, Mottram, Hyfield, and Duckenfleld, in reaching which point, the
Manchester and Sheffield Railway will be intersected, and the Hud-
dersfield Canal Railway passed, near to the Rochdale station of the
Manchester and Leeds Railway.
It is unnecessary to state here the character of the country from
lochdale to Blackburn : it will be sufficient to observe, that it is the
seat of those manufactures to which England owes her accumulating
wealth. The line Ivill'proceed thence through or near to Whitworth
and Rossendale, and fall into the East Lancashire Railway, in the
♦icinity of Haslingden.
A branch will be thrown out of the trunk line, from the Junction
with the East Lancashire line near Haslingden, by Low-Moor iron-
works and Bacup, to Todmorden. . _

The Erewash 'ixtension will be the only direct route f,-
centre of Derbyshire to the great manufacturing ,- t ~,n the
_,..ns and chief
seaports of Lancashire. It will traverse
2. valley district adorned
with the most picturesque Seer"-
, at the same time, rich in
mineral produce. It --' ' ~-aad,

To the multiplication of advantaaes which Intersecting railways
rer abnydnoSlliee"llletlida—n
and lines of still-water navigation are compelled to afford, the throw-
ing out of branches from the line itself in so many di. a lions will add
still further powers of accommodation, and, when the dense popula-
tion in the localities traversed is considered, there is every reason to
conclude that an ample remuneration for vested capital mill be ob-
tained.
By following the course of rivers, which, in this instance, fall la

with the exact direction of the projected line, highly favourable gra-
dients are obtained for a considerable part of the length ; and every
other section of the country, upon a preliminary survey, has been
reported as more than commonly practicable. While the return for
capital cannot be questioned, and the necessities of the district de-
mand accommodation, the expenditure must necessarily fall below
the usual amount for works of equal magnitude.
To identify this prgiect with that of the Erewash Valley, although
not included under, or belonging to the same executive, it is pro-
posed to allow subscribers in that Company shares in the Erewash
Extension : the number to be regulated by the interest retained in
the elder project.
The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the Share-
holders beyond the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament is
obtained; anti power will be taken hi the Act to allow 4 per cent. in-
terest upon, all calls.
Prospectuses; maps, and forms, may be had at the Offices of Hull

This line will commence at a point on the Midland Counties Rail-
way, near Kegworth, and will proceed in a direct line to Nuneaton,
and thus, by means of other projected lines, a direct communication
will be formed between the important towns of Nottingham, Newark,
and Lincoln on the one side, and Birmingham, Coventry, and War-
wick on the other ; and as there is no doubt the proposed rail.
way between Cheltenham and Warwick will be formed, a direct
communication will thus be effected between the Severn at Glouces-
ter, and the Humber at. Great Grimsby. At the same time, a rich
mineral and, agricultural district will be supplied with railway ad-
vantages.

The line will pass through a very productive district, intersecting
the Leicestershire coal-fields and litneworks, and will afford commu-
nication, north and south, to the Derbyshire potteries. With such
an assured immediate and prospective amount of traffic, the profits
on the small capital required cannot fail to be highly remunerative.
In consequence of the lines in the course of formation, exclusive of
those projected to Great Grimsby, that port will be rendered of the
first importance, and it must be obvious that traffic from the district
south-west of Warwick will be very great.
The distance saved by the proposed line between Leamington,
Warwick, Coventry, and Nottingham, will be about twenty miles ;
and between Birmingham and Nottingham about six miles. As
it is the shortest route from Birmingham to Nottingham and
Lincoln, it must secure the traffic from Birmingham to Notting-
ham, Newark, Lincoln, and the port of Great Grimsby ; and by com-
comumnlincaantidngthwtiittrhatrfthec Eyewash

The Committee havinedetermined upon making provision for com-
pleting the whole line to Coventry, in case circumstances should ren-
der such a course expedient, have resolved to raise the capital to
550,0001., in 27,500 shares of 201. each. Any parties who may be
desirous of withdrawing their applicaticas in consequence of the
above alterations in the project, must signify the same forthwith,
otherwise the applicants for shares will be considered as acquiescing
therein.

Powers for allowance of interest at four per cent. on the paid-up
capital will be taken, and the liability of shareholders limited to the
amount of their subscriptions,
