BANKERS.
The Commercial Bank of London. •
Messrs. Hall, Smith, and Co., Uxbridge.
Messrs. Shrubs°le, Lambert, and Co., Ktngst•n-upon-Thames.

ENGINEER—HamiIton IL Fulton, Esq.
SunvEyou—Andrew Trimen, Esq.
Somerroas—Messrs. Watts, Galsworthy, and Galsworthy, 19, Ely-

. place.
SECRETARY (pro tern)—W. R. Harris, Esq.

This railway is proposed to commence at Uxbridge, proceeding
thence to the Southall cation of the Great Western Railway, and
then through Heston to Hounslow, there meeting one of the proposed
lines to Hounslow from London. Leaving Hounslow the line pro.
eeeds through Whitton, Twickenham, Tcddington, and Hampton,
to Kingston, and, crossing the Thames, joins the Kingston station of
the South-Western Railway, whence it will proceed to, and terminate
at ,Epsom.
The towns and places through which the line passes, or most imme-
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, between which 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 imp ,rative. It will afford
to Uxbridge and the towns in Hertfordshire north of it, with wh'ch
it will he 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,
Rainsgate, 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 Northern and Eastern lines; and by
this line. in connexion with one proposed to Hounslow from the me-
tropolis, and the other propose 4 and established linos north and south
of it, easy access will be afforded to Hampton-court, Epsom, and
other favourite places of resort. There can 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 16,0001. 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 form, to the
solicitors of the Company, Messrs. Watts, Galsvvorthy, and Gals-
worthy, to the Secretary, at the Offices, to whom also all corn•
Inutile:along from parties locally interested should be addressed ;
