SOLICITORS,

Messrs. Parker, Hayes, Barnwell, and Twisden, Lincoln's Inn-fields,
London
Mr. Samuel Carter, Birmingham, and 37, Great George•street, West-
minster
Mr. William Meyrick, 2, Furnival's Inn, London

The object of this undertaking is to supply railway communication
to the towns and districts lying between the London and Birmingham,
and the Great Western Railways, giving them the best means of access
to the metropolis, and connecting them also with the Northern and
Eastern lines of llway, as well as with Oxford and the South.
The main line will commence from the London and Birmingham
Railway, near Harrow, and passing to the north of Uxbridge, will
proceed up the Valley by Chalfont, near Amersham and Chesham to
Missenden and Wendover, and thence to Aylesbury; from which
place it will extend to Buckingham, and passing near Winslow, and
approaching Brackley, will terminate by a Junction with the proposed
Warwickshire and London Railway, near Banbury.
In addition to the line above described, it is intended also to con-
struct a Railway from the central station of the London and Bir-
mingham Railway at Wolverton to Buckingham, and thence through
Bicester to Oxford; and in connexion with the line here proposed,
the Bedford, and London and Birmingham Company, intend to make
a connecting line between Bedford and Wolverton.
The proposed Buckingham and London and Birmingham Railway
Company (for the construction of a line from Wolverton to Bicester)
is amalgamated with this Company.
Accurate surveys of the country have been taken by Mr. Robert
Stephenson, and it has been ascertained that no engineering difficulty
of importance presents itself.
_ _

The undertaking has already received the-sanction and support of
a very large proportion of the Nobility, Gentry, and Proprietors of
land through or near whose property it is intended to pass.
It is Proposed that these lines should be made with the co-operation,
and under the andnepintendence of the London and
Birmingham Railway ComPanYsu ;
four Dor seer aunurn on the °allay, with a conditional arrange•
ment ae ~Surplus profits.
It is intended to offer the shares in such proportion as the amount
of capital will allow of, to the holders of shares in the London,
Worcester and South Staffordshire Railway Company, subject to the
approbation of the Committee of Management, with the exception
of such as may be required for parties having local interests.

The colony of British Guiana possesses superiot physical capabi-
lities for the construction of railways, the country near the sea pre-
senting an almost absolute level over an area of several hundred
square miles.
The entire produce of the district called the east coast, which is in
the county of Demerara, consisting of sugar, rem, molasses, &c., as
well as the supplies of the plantations, comprising coals, bricks,
lime, lumber, and other bulky articles, are at present conveyed to
and from George-town, the capital of the colony, and the port at
which they must be landed or shipped in pmits and coasting
schooners, at considerable risk and expense.
It is to this district that the proposed Company Wend first to
direct their operations, by constructing a railway from Georgetown
to Mahaica, a distance of twenty mile*, along which line there are,
besides sugar plantations, many Tillages, containing a numerous and

increasing population.
As all the risk and delay, and a great part of the expense now in-
curred in carrying on the traffic would thereby be obviated, there
can be no doubt that it would be wholly transferred to this railway.
Estimates of traffic, founded upon the tables published by the
Royal Agricultural and Commercial Society of British Guiana for
the year 1844, have been carefully prepared, from which it ap-
pears that, on a moderate scale of charges, and after making a de-
duction of 40 per cent. for working expenses, a return of 10 per
cent, upon the capital of the Company may be fairly expected.
The Provisional Committee are also satisfied that a great addition
to their contemplated profits will progressively arise from the con-
tinued influx of labour into the colony, as well as from the natural
increase of the population. The existing estates along the line are
capable of doublinz their present production as soon as they san (by
au accession of labour) be fully cultivated, and thereby yiel.l an ade-
quate profit; and the cultivation of many estates, now abandoned,
will be resumed.
The Committee look forward to an early extension of the railway
towards the county of Berbice, which would still further augment

the traffic.
Thee can be no doubt that a project so advantageous as the pre-
sent in every respect to the interests of all parties connected with
British Guiana will meet with the approbation of her Majesty's
Government, and the cordial support of the authorities In the colony,
many of the principal residents of which have suggested the present
project.
Early steps will be taken for the incorporation of the Company by
an Act of the Colonial Legislature, to be sanctioned by the Crown,
by which due provision will be made for limiting the responsi-
bility of the shareholders to the amounts of the r respective sub-
scriptions.
Estimates of cost have been already prepared, and the execution of
the work will be entrusted to a skilful engineer, who will be sent out
immedtataly to superintend the construction of the railway.
Applications for Shares, in the form annexed, and for copies of the
Prospectus, may be made to the Hon. Secretary, Henry Hill, Esq.,
at the West India Committee Rooms, Old Jewry, on or before the
25th inst.
Copies of the Prospectus may also be had from A. F. Ridgway, Esq.,
