This railway is proposed to commence at Uxbridge, proceeding
thence to the Southall station of the Great Western Railway, and
linens through Heston to Hounslow, there meeting one of the proposed
lines to Hounslow from London. Leaving Hounslow the line pro-
ceeds through Whitton, Twickenham, Teddington, and Hampton,
to Kingston, and, crossing the Thames, joins the Kingston station of
the South-Western Railway, whence it will proceed to, and terminate
at ,Epsom.
The towns and-places through which the line passes, or most imme-
diately affects, contain an aggregate population of about 200,000
persons.

to liounslow, which this will intersect, Brentford, the county-town
of Middlesex, aid the Thames, will be brought into immediate con-
nexion with Uxbridge; the traffic between the last-named towns Inas
hitherto materially helped to produce the large dividends of the Grand
Junction Canal.
By means also of this line, and the Croydon and Epsom line (now
in course of construction), all the before-mentioned towns and places
are likewise connected with Croydon.
The hnportance of connecting two such towns as Uxbridge and
Brentford with Kingston, Croydon, and Epsom, three of the largest
market-towns in Surrey, between which the present agricultural traffic
is extensive, is too obvious to require comment. A glance at the map
will at once show that tine communication now proposed is not only
judicious, but, in order to satisfy the requirements of the important
and populous district involved, is actually imp ratiye. It will afford

sex of the north and north-western markets with fruit during the
season, would, by this line, be immensely increased, and form another
source of income to the Company.
This undertaking presents the additional and important advantage
of competing with no line at present established; on the contrary,
it will be the means of connecting and feeding the several lines enu-
merated, and several others that are projected; and the engineer
reports that it passes over a particularly easy country, and will be
capable of construction at about 16,000/. per mile ; and the land-
owners on the line who have been seen, are favourable to the un-
dertaking.
The length of the line will be about 18 miles.
Application for shares must be made in the annexed form, to the
solicitors of the Company, Messrs. Watts, Galsworthy, and Galsworthy,
