D UDLEY and BIRMINGHAM JUNCTION
RAILWAY,
Combining the broad and narrow gauges, in continuation of the
Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line.
Capital 200,0001., in 10,00 Shares of 201. each.
Deposit 2/. 10s. per Share.
(Provisionally Registered.)
This line will commence at the station of the Oxford, Worcester,
and Wolverhampton Railway, at Dudley, and run into the line of
the Grand Junction Company near to Birmingham. It will traverse
or pass in the immediate vicinity of the following populous manu-
facturing towns and places, viz., Great Bridge, Swan Village, Old •
bury, West Bromwich, Handsworth, and Smethwick, and In its
course it win afford railway accommodation to a manufacturing and
mining population of upwaras of a quarter of a million.
The names of the places of the proposed termini, and the above
indication of the course of the intended line, must abundantly sa-
tisfy every one that it presents the certainty of a lucrative traffic
both in goods and in passengers. It Is almost unnecessary to speak
further of so plain a necessity as that of railway accommodation for
such a district.
The wonder would be that the proposed line had not been esta-
blished long before, were It not for one very obvious and very poten-
tial reason to which it is owing that this rich district has hitherto
been suffered to remain destitute of railway accommodation. The
district has been up to this time deprived of the benefits of railway
means of transit because it was one of the richest farms of the
Birmingham Canal Company ; and it is to overcome the depressing
influence of such a destitution that the present plan has been pro-
jected.

The intended line will not interfere with any existing line of
railway, but it will materially extend the usefulness of the several
lines about to be connected with Dudley, and in particular that
great mining district trunk line, the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver-
hampton Railway, as also the Shrewsbury and South Stalfordshirt
Junction; besides, it will afford to the populous districts c;.roulat
Dudley and Birmingham the direct benefits of fair and literal cent-
petition in passenger conveyance and In the transit of their industrial
products to their principal market.
The number of omnibuses, coaches, and swift canal packet-boats
continually travelling between the termini, afford the strongest as-
surance of the prospect of a lar_ e passenger traffic: while the bulky
nature and vast extent of the mining and m inutacturing produce of
this well-known district equally vouch tor that In goods ; and the
whole leaves no doubt bot that the fittanCial returns of such an un-
dertaking must yield au ample relltinteration for the capital ex-
pended,
7-- -

ARTSI an
eDoitleering point of view, it bas been ascertained, by careful
;S, that the line is higllly favourable, and presents not the

posed to form a railway on its site, with an extension from the
City-road basin to the vicinity of the General Post-office.
The vast importance of this undertaking, whereby, a junction will
be effected between all existing and projected railways north of the
Thames, combined with the, advantage of a general City terminus,
is too obvious to require comment.

By the proposed railway, passengers and goods will be brought
Into the heart of the City at a great saving of time and expense,
and facilities will be afforded for the more expeditious transmission
of the mails to most parts of the kingdom.
The line will commence at the Great Western Railway ter-
minu3, and will follow the course of the canal throughout, inter-
secting the London and Birmingham Railway at Camden-town,
the proposed London and York and Direct Manehester near Pen-
tonville, the Eastern Counties at Old Ford, and the Blackwall
Railway at Limehouse ; traversing the populous districts of Pad.
dington, Camden-town, Islington, City-road, Hoxton, Kingsland,
arid Hackney,—terminating at the Regent's Canal Dock at Lime-
house, adjoining the River Thames, to which there is a wharf
frontage of 170 feet.

The basins, wharfs, warehouses, and buildings at, the City.road,
Limehouse, and along the line of canal will be eqt;ally available
as tit present for the large and increasing local goods traffic now
existing on the canal.

Surveys have been made of the property required for the pro-
posed extension, which it is found can be constructed at a corn
pAratively moderate expense.
The object of the Company will be to secure the best accommo-
dation to the public, and to deal impartially with the present and
all future companies who may avail themselves of this line. The
property of the present railway companies will be materially im-
proved, and a great national work effected in a manner and at a
cost which c,uld be accomplished by no other means than by the
conversion of the Regent's Canal.

There are no engineering difficulties of importance to overcome,
the approaches to, and the communications across the line, are
already established, and a comparatively small extent only of pri-
vate property will be interfered with or require to be purchased,
and the completion of the works and the opening of the line may
be cenfldesstly expected within twelve months after the sanction of
the Legislature has been obtained.
Applications for prospectuses and shares to be made to the se-
cretary, Frederick Collier, Esq., at the offices of the Company,
Gresham-rooms, Basinghall•street.
Parties who are registered proprietors in the Regent's Canal and
in the existing railways and docks connected with this undertaking
are requested to state the fact in their application.

ment when required.
