THE DIRECT LONDON and EXETER
RAILWAY (with EXTENSION to FALMOUTH and
PE NZANCE).
The Committee of Management hereby give Notice that they
kave COMPLETED the ALLOTMENT of SHARES, and that the
usual letters are this day issued. In the arduous duty of deciding on
claims unprecedented, it is believed, in their number and respecta-
bility, the Committee have been obliged to give a preference to ap-
plicants locally interested, or likely to bring to bear for tha Company
a large share of legitimate influence. The numerous persons, with
undoubted claims on the score of wealth and social standing, whose
applications have either been passed over or cut down, are requested
to accept this reason as the Committee's apology.
The Committee desire to add, that while attestations of public
support are daily reaching them from the most influential quarters,
the engineering preparations, under Mr. Braithwaite, are so far ad-
vanced, that the project cannot fail to be placed before Parliament in
a manner the most satisfactory to the Shareholders.

PROSPECTUS.
- •

Commencing at Cambridge, which has now become the traffic-
centre of the Eastern Coutties,-%,, she line of railway intended to be
formed by that Company, this line will proceed to Bedford, there
passing near Olney it will cross at or near the Blisworth Station of the
London and Birmingham Railway, where it will communicate with
the Northampton and Peterborough line; it will then proceed west-
ward. crossing the Oxford and Rugby line at or near Fenny-Compton
to Stratford-on-Avon, there joining the proposed line from Warwick
and Leamington to Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the West of
England ; continuing its course through Alcester, the line will go di-
rect to Worcester, and thus terminate at the great centre of traffic
for the mineral and manufacturing districts of South Staffordshire,
Shropshire, and North and South Wales. This proposed line does
not interfere with any existing railways, and presenting, as it does,
an unbroken line between two great centres of traffic, the importance
of the undertaking needs no further comment.
Negotiations have been entered into with the Eastern Coun-
ties Railway Company, by which their support and co-operation will
be ensured for obtaining the line now proposed.
An arrangement has also been made with the proposed Rugby,
Warwick, and Worcester Company, which this line will join at Al-
cester, and by means of which the Eastern Counties' traffic will pro-
ceed to Worcester. •
Power will be reserved to the Directors to amalgamate with any
other existing or projecting Companies, or to vary the line.
Application for shares may be made to the Secretary, and to the fol-
lowing Sharebrokers, of whom prospectuses, with maps of the line,
may be obtained :—London—Messrs. Peppercorne and Co., 2, Old

diately affects, contain an aggregate population of about 200,000
persons.
The importance of connecting two such towns as Uxbridge and
Brentford with Kingston, Croydon, and Epsom, three of the largest
market-towns in Surrey, betweenwhich the present agricultural traffic
is extensive, is too obvious to require comment. A glance at the map
will at once show that the communication now proposed is not only
judicious, but, in order to satisfy the requirements of the important
and populous district involved, is actually imperative. It will afford
to Uxbridge and the towns in Hertfordshire north of it, with which
it will be connected by proposed new lines, direct transit to the Great
Western, Southampton, and Portsmouth Railways, and by the
established lines, southward, to Shoreham, Brighton, Dover,
Ramsgate, and all the south and south-eastern parts of the
kingdom, avoiding the loss of time and great inconvenience of going
round by the metropolis. So also as to Brentford, Hounslow King-
ston, and Epsom—it will afford to them access to the Great Western,
London and Birmingham, and liprtheni and Eastern lines; and by
this line, in connexion with one proposed to Hounslow from the me-
tropolis, and the other proposed and established lines north and south
of it, easy access will be afforded to Hampton-court, Epsom, and
other favourite places of resort. There call be no doubt, therefore,
that the passenger traffic alone will be sufficient to pay a very large
dividend on the outlay.
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 IG,OOO/. 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. And the Committee
are happy to announce that the surveys are in such a forward con-
dition as to justify them in stating that they will be enabled to
comply, in all respects, with the standing orders, so as to enable
them to apply for the Act in the ensuing session.
Application for shares must be made in the usual ferns, to the
solicitors of the Company, Messrs. Watts, Galsworthy, and Gals-

By this Company it is proposed to supply rativrAy socontwoda-
tion, through au independent channel, to all the principal towns in
Buckinghamshire, and to rosny in the other counties through which
the projected line is to run, hitherto destitute of this now indispen-
sable mode of transit.
The project known by the name of " The Buckinghamshire Rail-
way and Oxford and Wolverton Junction" is announced in their pro-
spectus as being under the direction and superintendence of the Lon-
don and Birmingham Railway Company, as their lessees in perpetuity,
receiving four per cent. on the outlay, with a conditional arrange-
ment as to the surplus profit.
From this agreement it must be obvious to every one that the
monopoly of the London and Birmingham Company, which it was a
principal object to destroy, is more strongly secured than before, and
the profits which would accrue to an independent line, after payment
of the 4/. per cent. interest, is virtually thrown into their hands.
In addition to this, the arrangement to make use of the termini of
the London and Birmingham Company, together with a considerable
portion of their line, reduces the Buckinghamshire Railway in fact to
a mere extension of the older ccmpany, and confers on the latter the
means of absolutely and entirely controlling the traffic, and conse-
quently the profits, of the projected line; so that the reservation as
to the surplus profits in truth amounts to nothing.
The adoption of the projected Buckinghamshire Railway by the
London and Birmingham Company proves their consciousness of the
necessity of a railway communication through the country proposed
to be traversed; and to prevent a continuance of their monopoly,
and to secure both to shareholders and to parties locally interested
the benefits of an independent line, the present Company has been
formed,-and has met with the strenuous support of many landed pro-
prietors in the counties through which it will pass, who have hitherto
withheld their co-operation from the Buckinghamshire Railway
Company for the reasons enumerated.
The line will proceed through or near to Uxbridge, by the Valley
of Chalfont, to Amersham and Wendover, and thence to Aylesbury,
by Winslow, to Buckingham.: It will take a course from thence
through Brockley and Banbury, by Leamington and Warwick, to
Birmingham, having the advantage of being the shortest route
hitherto proposed between Birmingham and London.
Applications for shares, in the annexed form, may be made to the
Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, or to the following
Stock and Sharebrokers :
London—Messrs. Edward Ellis and Co. 53, Threadneedle-street
Liverpool—Mr. Morris Reynolds
Manchester—Mr. Charles O'Neill, and Mr. J. Duuraft
