SECRETARY —Thomas Philbrick, Esq.

This line is intended to commence at Louth, and to proceed, by way
of Market Rosen, to the town and port of Gainsborough, in the
county of Lincoln; and is projected for the purpose of completing a
direct communication with the towns of Rotherham, Sheffield, Man-
chester, and Liverpool, and thus affording to the rich grazing and
agricultural divisions of the county a ready access to those towns,
which have always been the natural markets for the produce of the
district ; and at the same thee to provide a certain and speedy
transit for manufactured goods and other articles of merchandise.
The communication by railway between these Important towns has
not, by existing arrangements, been provided for, except by very
circuitous routes ; indeed, that part of the line from Market Resell to
Gainsborough has been entirely overlooked ; and therefore the pre-
sent one has been proposed to meet the wants of the district on the
strong representations and request of a large and respectable body
of gentry deeply interested in the success of the scheme.

pany with support, have pleasure in announcing that the traffic re-
turns will be of a highly satisfactory character.
It is no slight advantage in this scheme, that it cannot be said to
interfere with existing railways. The main feature is the improve-
ment of communication between important towns by the old na-
tural roads, and thus affording facilities to the agricultural and com-
mercial interests, and to the public generally, in and through a dis-
trict where a railway is essentially necessary for its ultimate and
lasting prosperity.
A careful survey of the line has been made, and the engineer's
report is of a very favourable character. He states that "the line
Is a very good ono ; it will pass for the most part along the surface
of the ground, it does not cross any main road, nor any ornamental
property, or interfere with the mansions of the landowners ; the
soil is of a favourable character throughout, and no engineering dif-
ficulties occur at any point."
No subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of his deposit
until the Act is obtained, and then net beyond the amount of his sub-
scription ; and power will be applied for in the Act of Parliament to
allow interest at the rate of 4/. per cent. per annum on all calls until
_ .

the opening of the line. In the allotment of shares, preference will be
given to landowners and parties locally interested ; but no applica-
tion can be attended to unless accompanied with a satisfactory re-
ference.
Further information may be obtained at the Company's Offices,
Upgate, Louth ; and applications for shares, in the an,exed
form, may he addressed to the Solicitors, to the Secre-
tary, and to the following Stock and Sharebrokers :

The whole of the traffic (whether of passengers or goods) from the
north to the south of England now passes through the streets of
London. No railway has yet been projected to avoid this course, so
obviously inconvenient to the passenger, and so enormously expen-
sive to the carrier.
The Tring and Reigate Railway will afford accommodation to the
manufacturing districts of Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, and Birming-
ham, and !place them in direct communication with the southern
ports (from Dover to Southampton) and France, at a saving of ten
miles, of which four consist of the streets of London, and effectually
connect the several stations of the Dover, Brighton, South-Western,
Great Western, and Birmingham Railways, without causing the
ruinous expense attendant upon all schemes for joining their present
termini in London
The importance of a direct communication between the coal 'fields
and manufacturing districts of Birmingham, the midland counties,
and the north with the southern coast, extending, at the least, from
Dover to Southampton, need not be dwelt upon. A new line of no
less than 13731 miles has just been projected to connect Birmingham
and Brighton alone. The Tring and Reigate will be forty-four miles.
The course of this line is as follows :—Leaving the London and Bir-
mingham Railway at Tring, it will pass through Chesham, Amershom,
Beaconsfield, to Slough, on the Great Western Railway ; through
Upton, Datchet, Egham, Staines, and Chertsey, it will reach the
South-Western Railway at Weybridge ; thence through Cobham and
Leatherhead, it will pass near Dorking to the Reigate station of the
Dover and Brighton Railways; thus intersecting four trunk rail-
ways at first class stations.
The intermediate traffic may be stated as follows :—From Wen-
dover to Slough it will command the traffic to Dondon and the West
of England by its junction with the Great Western Railway ; it will
afford to Windsor a direct communication to the Isle of Wight by
way of the gouth-Western ; to Brighton and Dover by way of Rei •
gate ; and to all the railways of the north by way of Tring ; and it
will pass, as before stated, through the populous districts of Egham,
Staines, Chertsey, Cobham, and Dotting, to the Reigate station by
way of Epsom.
It may be fairly stated that this railway, far from injuring any
existing line, will greatly benefit every one that it touches, and that
opening, as it will do, a direct communication to the northern and
midland counties with Brighton, and affording to Windsor the com-
mand of all the railways in the kingdom, must be successftil.
To persons conversant with railway affairs, a glance at any railway
map will convey more convincing information as to its merits than
the most elaborate prospectus.
Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the
Company shall be under the control of the Committee of Manage-
ment, who are empowered to enter into such arrangements as shall
best serve the interests of the Company, and to raise any additional
capital that may become requisite for extensions of the line, or
otherwise.

Power shall be taken under the Act to limit the responsibility of
shareholders to the amount of their subscription, and to allow interest
at 4 per cent. upon the calls.
The engineers are now engaged in surveying the line, and the
whole will be completed in time for the ensuing session. A preference
will be given in the allotment of shares to the landowners and to the
shareholders in the several railways interested in its formation.

ENGINEER'S REPORT.
The lianag,lng Committee have great pleasure in submitting the
following report, received from their engineer. This affords satisfac-
tory assurance that the line will be certainly ready for the coming
session.

The ground from the Reigate station on the South-Eastern Rail-
way, via Reigate to Leatberhead, is the only difficult portion of the
line ; some tunnelling and cutting being required, after which, by
Cobham, Chertsey, Staines, Datchet, Upton, Slough, Farnham Royal,
Beaconsfield, Amersham, and Chesham, to or near the Tring station,
the country is of a nature most favourable for the construction of a
railway.
I consider the route here pointed oat fir the " Tring and Reigate
Railway," not only a most excellent one as referring to the con-
struction of the line, but pre-eminently good in respect of the pro-
sp eet of its paying ; for in addition to its affording a direct means of
