The seollid line, counting veestseniel, ie reload tOrtuOus, and has also
a common northern teeniinei with the preceding, by which its ad-
;wages are materially restricted. This line, descending the Ere-
ash Veto, and passing through Rugby and Oxford, becomes a South-
eteaton site by falli into the I stoke. ailt South-Western Railway at Basing,

At several large public meetings held In October last, at Brentford,
Isleworth, and Hounslow, resolutions were unanimously passed in
favour of establishing a railway communication with the metropolis,
and the Gazette notices were actually published; but the difficulty
of obtaining a suitable terminus in London induced the principal
promoters of this important undertaking to postpone bringing their
scheme before the public.
Tide impediment has now been overcome. and by a proposed Junc-
tion with the Central Terminus and the Thames Embankment Rail-
way, parties travelling by this line will be enabled to proceed
directly to the heart of the metropolis ; and by the united Railways,
which will ramify from this point, to almost every part of the country
without interruption.
By the intended Junction, also, with the Great Western Railway,
at or near West Drayton, and by the intersection of the Birmingham
Renew' at Kensington, these important lines will be supplied with
direct aeeess to the Central Terminus, and thence to the City, or to
the Southern and Eastern Lines.
The proposed line, will, h passes through or near the extensive and
populeussuhurbs of Pimlico. Chelsea, Brompton, Kensington, Ham-
met/ninth, Chiswick, and .Turnham-green, to the town of Brentford,
and thence to Isleworth, Hoanslovv, anti West Drayton, has received
the most, cordial approbation and promises of support from the great
inakeity of the inhabitants and other parties locally interested.
This line is singularly free from engineering difficulties; and,
although there Is almost a complete continuity of town and village
throughout the whole distance, yet, from the care with which the
line has been laid down, so as to
avoid property covered with build-
ings, and to take advantage of and unoccupied spaces, the
value of ehe ground. to be urchaosPeednwill not be nearly so great as,

sand Southampton Railway project, a combination of advantages pre-
sents itself—the result of a design, to a great extent, but of contin-
gencies also. If it be desirable that the terminus of every railway
should be situated at some commercial or populous place, in this re-
spect the present project Is peculiarly fortunate. If Government be
resolved on countenancing the shortest and most direct lines, it
Will be seen, by laying a rule on the map of England from Salisbury
to Manchester, that a course duo north and south between these
places will pass very nearly through the towns mentioned in this
prospectus, as being on the proposed line ; and actual measurement
has shown this line to be the shortest between Southampton and
Manchester by 26 miles.
By the construction, therefore, of little more than 60 miles of
rail, as here proposed, the shortest, most direct, and convenient
communication between Manchester and Southampton will be es-
tabllshed--a line, also, however superior in position to others pro-
mising similar advantages, may yet be considered as competing
with none, but as an independent work, originating at Birmingham
and terminating in the seaports of Weymouth, Christchurch, Poole,
and Southampton.
In the allotment of shares in this Company the Directors propose
to give a pr, fens ace to the original shareholders of the South and
Midlands' Ju. CM ,n Railway Company.

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
NORTHERN COUNTIES (ROSS, SUTHER-
LAND, AND CAITHNESS DIRECT RAILWAY.
To afford the very important division of the Kingdom the benefits
of railway communication, and to promote and stimulate the pro-
gressively increasing pastoral, agricultural, and commercial, improve-
ments, which of late years have made such rapid strides in these
counties, it is proposed to form, under the sanction of the most
influential patronage, a railway by the most direct practicable route,
to connect these northern and producing districts with the southern
and consuming portions of the empire.
Adopting the line which may be found the shortest to Dingwall
consistent with a due regard to economy in its execution and work-
ing, and to the rights and interests of private parties, and from Ding-
wall by Novar to Bonar-bridge, the distatce of the county of Suther-
land from Inverness would be many miles shorter than by any other
route. From Bonar the line would pass by Lairg, through the
valleys of the Brora and of the Frie, and by Strath Helmsdale to the
Thurso water; thus nearly bisecting the county of Sutherland
through its length and passing into the most populous parts of
Caithness, diverging to the right and left 0 Wick and Thurso.
A branch might be formed to connect the coast of Sutherland with
the trunk line.
In Ross-shire a branch would be formed from the main line to In-
vergordon, and this branch might be extended to the burgh of Tain.
Arrangements are being made for having the lines (the courses of
which are but generally indicated above) carefully examined by ex-
perienced surveyors and engineers ; and as soon as data which may
be relied on have been matured, a full prospectus, with the names of
the promoters and Provisional Committee and detailed particulars,
will bd published.
Meantime communications from parties interested in the proposed
undertaking may. up to the Ist of October next, be addressed to
William Mackenzie, Esq., of Muirton, W.S., by Dingwall ; Hugh
Innes Cameron, Esq., Provost of Dingwall ; G. S. Taylor, Esq.,
Golspie ; Peter Wilson, Esq., W.S., Town Clerk of Wick ; M. Snody,
Esq., Thurso; or to Messrs. Cameron and Bain, 18, Parliament-
street, London.

This Compony was constituted on the 28th of August, 1845,
according to an Acte de Societe, passed before M Dandier,
Notary at farts. Its object is the construction of one of the most
important lines of rallroad hitherto projected in Fratce,
and perhaps on the whole continent. A reference to the map
will make it sufficiently apparent that, although short in
itself, this line Will connect, by means of the Paris and
Lyons, and other French railroads, the Atlantic and Mediterranean ;
as well as France; England, Belgium, and Holland with Switzerland
and Italy ; and will thus complete the great Truuk lime of
between the West and South-East of Europe.
• '

The length of the line is 120 kilOinetres, or 7G English miles; it
branches off from the Great Paris and Lyons Railroad at Macon,
situated half way between Chalons-sur-Sayone and Lyons, at a dis-
tance of about 70 kilometres, or 27 English miles from each of those
places, and passes through Bourg, the principal town of the depart-
ment De l'Aain, and by Nantua to Geneva.
It had been originally intended to select either Lyons or Chalons-
sur-Saone as the starting-point on the western extremity, but Macon
has been ultimately adapted, as the only one likely to provide the
desired accommodation tor the traffic, both from the north and
south, so that no apprehension need be entertained of any opposition
line being started from either of the above points.
The Council of the city of Geneva has lately caused the different
projects for connecting its territory with the Paris and Lyons Rail-
road to be carefully examined, and has given its decision in favour
of the Macon line ; it has-moreover been universally approved of by
the highest authorities in France, as being the shortest and most
economical, and tite=one answering the wants and requirements of
all parties.
It is needless to speak of the immense number of lrsvellers con-
tinually pouring into "%witzerland, which are increasing annually,
and which, no doubt, will be doubled when railway accommodation
is provided for them, and when this road, as it must, becomes the
main road to Italy and the East. It may, therefore, be safely as-
sumed that the passenger traffic will be more considerable then on
any other line in France;
With regard to merchandise, the following brief statements will
demonstrate its •Ithportance.
. _

From correct statistical reports, it appears that the imports during
the last year from France into Geneva amounted to-
-13,269,188 kilogr. merchandise
2,439,000 litres of liquids, and
4,172,000 litres of grain
and the exports to— •

5,654,522 kilogr. merchandise

The former consists principally of corn, wines, oil, salt, iron, soap,
glass, yarns, cotton, manufactured and colonial goods ; and the latter
of wood, cattle, cheese, produce of the mountain soil, and the nume-
rous articles of Geneva industry. Besides. the increase which the
facilities of railway transit will, as in all cases, naturally produce
upon the commercial intercourse between France and Switzerland,
it may also be considered that the 60,000 bales of cotton which are
annually imported into Switzerland via Trieste, or froM Liverpool
up the Rhine, must in future pass through Marseilles, up the Rhone
and Saone, to Macon ; that the produce of Italy will take the same
route; that Swedish irons, which now reach Geneva by an expen-
sive land journey through Mets, will be conveyed, with consider-
able economy, by the French canals and the river Saone, to Macon.
This line therefore will have the advantage of advantage of adding to
its own, a new and most important traffic, withdrawn from oiher
diannels of c•nninunication.7
Without entering into further details, which it would not be deemed
prudent to publish at the present moment, the facts which have been
stated will be amply sufficient to short the immense advantages of
this railway, which is held in the highest estimation by capitalists
and parties interested In railway matters, both in Prance and Swit-
zerland, and supported by the most influential proprietors of the clis.
tricts traversed, as well as the local awhorifies,
Negotiations are pending, and likely to be brought to Sticcessftli
issue, between this Company and the Swiss Government, with regard
to an extension of this line to Lausanne and Yverdtin, Which will
connect them with the remainder of Swltf.efland and Clerniany ; and
should this important concession be gained, a preference in the allot-
ment of shares will, of course, be given to shareholders in this
Company.
The Capital df the ConipanY has been filed At 60,00000 of ftrinCti
fot 2,460,006/.), of which 25,000,000 francs (or 1,000,000/.), are to be
subscribed for in England.

The English capital is divided into 50,000 shares,of 201. each, upon
which a deposit of 2'. is to be paid on allotment. One month's pre-
vious notice will be given of all subsequent instalments, which are not
to exceed 21. each.

Fal-
mouth by way of Plymouth; and various other project, he
set on foot on the conviction that Falmouth must be reached by
railway.
The object of this prospectus Is to show that no other line than the
reSent can ultimately satisfy the exigencies of the country in regard
to this, its most important outport—
" the natural Packet Station of
the empire."
The present project Is distinguished by this—that it is direct. It is
as nearly as possible a straight line from London to the Land's End.
The London, (lath, and Bridgewater Company having amalga-
mated with this Company, the Immense local influence commanded
by them will now contribute to the great national objectand
a

Railway
so far as Reading, pursues its course by or near Newbury,
Hunger-
ford, Great Bedwin, Marlborough, Devizes, the manufacturing dis-
trict of Trowbridge (from which a diverging line will be carried by
Bradford direct to Bath), Westbury, Frome, Shepton Mallet, Wells
(from which another diverging line will be taken to
Bridgewater),
Glastonbury to Taunton, being shorter by about
and without thirty-two
miles than any existing railways between these points,

leased to the Great Western) is traversed it is
proposed to carry this line direct to the Land's End, Falmouth, St.
Ives, and Penzance, being shorter by about sixty miles than the
Ilately proposed line by way of Plymouth, and effecting, in the whole
tistance from London to Falmouth, a saving of about ninety miles.
With reepect to the traffic on the 'upper portion Of the line it is
needless to say more than that ttlre is already thoroust) USW RBIs

cleat to initify the construction of this portion of the Direct Wes- ,
tern : that it will shorten the distance from London to Tiverton
about 32 miles that it will traverse rich and populous agricultural
and manufacturing districts, and receive a large amount of traffic as
well from railways now in course of construction as from ethers pro-
jected, with every chance of success.
Aa to the traffic on the lower portion of the line, it is evident that
the vast number of merchant vessels continually detained in the
Channel by adverse winds, would effect an immense saving both in
hancrance and time, by discharging their cargoes at Falmouth, and at
once transmitting theirs to their destination by means of this railway;.
and therefore—without speculating on the extent to which the ports
on either side of the great promontory of the Land's End may, by
means of this railroad, attract the commerce respectively of Bristol
and Southampton ; to what extent the inexhanstible mineral wealth
of Cornwall, and the unrivalled agricultural resources of Devonshire
may be further developed; or the genial climate of. Penzance. and .
Mount's Bay, " the Montpellier of England," attract a larger propor-
tion of winter visitants—it is obvious that this line will command a
traffic both in goods and passengers, from its western terminus, the
amount of which maybe- said to be without limit. A glance at the
map will make it manifest that no competing trunk line can ever be
established between Tiverton and, the Land's End. As between
Taunton and Reading, an inspection of the snap will show a vast ex-
tent of midland district, comprising rich and populous parts of So-
mersetshire, Dorsetshirc, and Wiltshire; now altogether destitute of
railroad accommodation.
Recurring to the features of this project as a national work, 'one of
the greatest in point of magnitude, of vital importance in the event of
war, and of almost incalculable advantage to the general and packet
commerce of the kingdom; it may not be out of place to quote here
the following expressions. of Sir Robert Peel. Speaking of the project
of a direct line, froni.London to Liverpool through the Trent Valley,
which bore much the same relation to the Birmingham and. Grand
Junction that this bears to the Great Western and Bristol and Exeter
Railways, he is reported to have said :-"I consider that the com-
munication between the metropolis and the. great outports to be not
a question of hours, but a question of minutes." Of the necessity of this
particular line, Parliament has already expressed an opinion ; for in the
report of the Committee on the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth
line, which was promoted by the Great Western Railway Company,
it was stated that that Company had been required to pledge itself
not hereafter to oppose a direct line to Fahnduth ; and it may be
further observed, that a proposed line from Plymouth to Falmouth
was last session rejected, on the ground that it might be supposed
to interfere with that great national object.
The survey of the line has been to a great extent completed, cad
cfrre •t estimates of the expenditure and'returris are in a state of for-
'a rdas3, and the whole will be ready for the next session of Par-
liament. _ . .

It Is sufficient, as to these points, here to state that there are no
engineering difficulties in any part of the line- which have not been
repeatedly surmounted in other cases ; that the first portion will be
constructed at an unusually small expenge ; that the undertaking
will meet with the cordial support, concurrence, and co-operation of
the landowners, and that the Directors are justified in asserting that
this will prove to be one of the most remunerative railways in the
kingdom.
Powers will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at
four pounds per centum per annum Cal the deposits, and preference
in the allotment of shares will be given to the proprietors of the land
through which the line will pass, and to the shareholders in the
Great Western, the Bristol and Exeter, and other railwayi connected
With the Direct Western district.

The present Company has been formed for the construction of a
line of railway from Madrid to the city and port of Valencia, the mast
central seaport on the Mediterranean. It will open out the re-
sources of an extensive district of country, eastward from tile capital,
remarkable for the richness and fertility of its soil, the varied abun-
dance of its productions, and the commercial spirit of its inhabitants.
This railway is authorised by a special ordinance of her Mahsty
the Queen of Spain ; and from its vast importanca as a national route
of intercommunication her Majesty has been pleased to accompany
the grant with all the privileges and immunities which the crown is
empowered to confer upon a railway company. Amongst these may
be enumerated—

4. The exemption for ten yea: z. to be computed from the com-

5. The entire exemption from all national am.: local taxes that
could otherwise .be levied upon the railway, works, „.• !buildings of
any description, and upon the capital represented by the shars:.7.
6. The Government is not to interfere with the Company's tar. "..!
of charges for the space of forty years from the co npletion of the
works ; and no revision thereof is to take place on the expiration of
that period that can sink the profits below 15 per cent.
7. The line is to be classed, by a special law, under the title of a
" work of public utility," and as such to enjoy the royal patronage
and protection, and all the peculiar privileges attached to important
national undertakings.
The proposed line, thus largely endowed, is about 240 miles in
length, being upwards of 150 miles nearer the capital than the ports
of Cadiz and the north coast of Spain, and generally nearer than any
other port in the kingdom. Although it has not yet been Minutely
surveyed, it is well known that there is no similar district of equal
extent in the kingdom which presents so few engineering difficulties.
For upwards of• 80 miles the line will traverse the almost level plain
of Valencia ; and emerging from the boundaries of the province, it
will follow as nearly as possible the course of the firers which flow
east and west from the central plateau in the province of CuetlFa,
and approach Madrid by the valley of the Manzanares. The line
will either pass through or accommodate the most important towns
In the two provinces, which will thus be brought into rapid com-
munication with the capital on the one side, a seaport on the other.
This railway will be the means of supplying 31aded, containing
300,000 inhabitants, entirely dependent' for provisions upon the con-
tiguous provinces, at a cheap rate, with the rich products of the pro-
vinces of Valencia, which abounds in moat valuable mines, and is
beyond comparison the most fertile district of Spain.
Valencia, brought by this communication within ten hours' dis-
tance of the chief market of Spain, must necessarily become the
port at which all vessels with supplies for the metropolis will unload,
and the centre of the coasting trade along the whole sea-line from
Barcelona to Gibraltar. _ _ .

The traffic in passengers and goods now existing between Madrid
and Valencia has been correctly ascertained, showing the following
results :
The annual number of passengers travelling between
Madrid and Valencia, and the intermediate towns, is
upwards of 42,000 ; but taking that number at the
present cost of conveyance by stage coaches, private
carriages, galeras,' 'and waggons, the amount will be .X67;800
The annual weight of goods conveyed between the two
cities and the intermediate localities is 4,900,000 cwt., •
from which the return is estimated at .. 1,223,400

Assuming that two•flfths only of the existing charges
become a source of revenue to the railway, and that
the tariff be reduced considerably below the State
tariff of Belgium, there will be deducted • . •.

Leaving a net profit of
Or of nearly 28 per cent. upon the capital.
The capital now proposed to be raised has been estimated, by
competent authority, to be amply sufficient for the completion of the
railway, including stations, a'double lino for rails,, and the working
plant.
The royal ordinance authorises the erection of an electric tele-
graph along the line, which will answer the double purpose of placing
the railway under the special protection of the Government, and
closely uniting it with all the railways that intersect the kingdom
and have their common termini in Madrid, to which capital maritime
and mercantile information from the Mediterranean can bo instan-
taneously communicated.
Chle,third of the shares are, by the terms of the concession, con-
ceded to Spain.
The locale of the Company will be in Spain, and it will be framed
on the principle of a compania anonima, agreeably to the commercial
code of that country.
The affairs of the Company will be conducted by a Board of Di-
rectors in London, assisted by a highly influential Committee in
Madrid. The remuneration to the Directors will be made in ac-
cordance with the plan usually adopted in continental railways, and
that to the Concessionaires consists of a mere contingent interest in
two-twentieths of net profits, after five per cent. shall have been se-
cured to the shareholders.
A deposit of 2/. per share is payable on allotment, and no future
call will exceed 21. per share, of which two months' notice at least
will be given.

This railway will connect the important and hitherto neglected
town of Barnet with the London and Birmingham and the Great
Western Railways, at or near Holsdon-green ; with the Northern
and Eastern and the Eastern Counties Railway, at or near Totten-
ham ; and the proposed Direct London and Manchester, and the Lon-
don and York Railways.
The line, in its course, will unite the town of Barnet with Whet-
stone, Totteridge, Highwood Hill, Mill Hill, Finchley, Holder's Hill,
Hendon, Burrows, Golder's 11111, Giatterhedge, Kingsbury, Neesdon,

Blackwall, Euston-square, Paddington, Kensington, Hammersmith,
Brompton, Fulham, Chelsea, &c. ; connecting those places with the
various railways named, and all those south of the river Thames.
The distance from the town of Barnet to the station of the London
and Birmingham Railway, at Euston-square, by this route, will be
15 miles.
The length of the main line, from the point of junction at Totten-
ham to the London and Birmingham Railway, will be 11 miles ; and
the length of the' branch line to Barnet, will be 4% miles. From the
junction with the Birmingham Railway to Chipping Barnet, 95/i
miles ; from the Decoy (near Brent-street, Hendon), on the proposed
Barnet and North Metropolitan Junction Railway, to the Northern
and Eastern Counties Railway, by Stamford-hill, 6% miles.
There are no engineering difficulties throughout the entire distance.
The line will proceed beyond the range of the Highgate and Hemp-
stead Hills, and the branch from the main line to Barnet will follow
the valley of the river Brent to the intended station at Barnet ; thus
the expense of construction will be less than any other metropolitan
line of railway, for the above reason, and because it will pass through
an agricultural district, avoiding all ornamental property and large
collections of houses and buildings.
Upon the completion of this railway, a large and daily-increasing
population, resident beyond the limits of the metropolitan omnibuses,
will be largely benefited, and land and agricultural produce, hitherto
affording an inadequate return to their cultivators, will be quad-
rupled In vilue.
, - The ancient, populous, and once-flourishing town of Barnet, too,
will now. haVe a railway communication of its own, without depend-
ing upon the caprice or uncertain goodnature of any company who
may hold out a prospect of a branch, In future times, from some of
the trunk lines now contemplated.
An ample return of profit to the investments of shareholders may
be safely anticipated, and will arise from the following sources,
amongst others
I. From the conveyance of passengers.
2. From the carriage of goods and merchandise from the City and
Docks, &c., to the several railways which are intersected by this
line, avoiding the delay and excessive cost of conveyance through
London ; also from the conveyance of cattle, Sue., more particularly
