line of railway, from Bristol and Bath to Dover; ,
The object of the promoters of this Company
unite, connect, or reciprocate with, all the existing and prolected
lines of railway in the south and southwest and west of England, as
well also as form a complete communication with Ireland and all
the western and Welsh railways, and most of those in the northern
and great manufacturing districts, by which passengers and goods
to and from Folkestone and Dover, France and Belgium, may
be conveyed without the necessity of passing through the me-
tropolis.
The main line to be laid down by the Company will be considerably
less than 100 miles, throughout which the strongest encouragement
and support have been manifested towards this railway by the landed
proprietors, many of whom have determined to invest capital in the
undertaking ; and the engineer's report precludes any apprehen-
sion of engineering difficulties. The great public utility and corn.
mercial advantages of railway communication between the important
places and ports which it is now contemplated to unite must be at
once appreciated by reference to a map of the country, and they
will be forcibly illustrated by the objects to be attained by this
Company.
This line is Intended to begin at Bristol by means of the Great
Western Railway, and passing through Bath to Bath Hampton
it will skirt the valley of the Avon, to Bradford, and thence to
Trowbridge. It will then take as straight a direction as can be
obtained to Devises, All Cannings, Pewsey, Burbage, Shaltorne,
West Woodhay, High Clere, and Overton, on to Basingstoke,
dovvuu
where it will unite with the Sauth Western Railway, and thus
from the western counties the distance will be several miles
shorter to the metropolis than by any other existing line. It will
then, by means of the South Western Railway, proceed on to near
Farnborough (a distance of fourteen miles) whence, leaving
Farnham to the south, it will pass onward to Ashe, Guildford,
Gomshall, and Dorking to Riegate, where it will unite with the
South Eastern and Dover Railway—(the latter, eighteen miles
from Guildford to Reigate will in all probability be constructed by
another Company.)
In its course it will thread its way through the lines of many of
the railways already constructed or projected—the junction of
which will not only be estimated as a great public convenience, but
Prove highly advantageous to the several Companies interested,pro-

miles or more will be saved by this railway iwnesutnior Bristol sixty
the other lines ; and the often disagreeable and costonlywni,thceassoime of '
present niftily) of puling through London, to or atom a (at

will be entirely obviated, and manufacturers and merchants in most
parts of the country, west and north, or south, will be thus en-
abled to forward and receive goods direct from and to Dover and
Folkstone, avoiding the present inconvenient mode and expense of
transference from railway to railway across London.
Any attempt to distinguish the number of passengers proceed-
ing to or from London, or the provinces and the continent by the
South Eastern and Dover Railway, would be abortive; but the
published statements of that Company show that the traffic ex.
ceeds 8,0001. weekly, and the accounts of arrivals at, and departures
from Calais, Boulogne, and Ostend, exhibit an astonishing number
of persons as passengers to and from England weekly, by Dover
and Folkenstone, throughout the whole of the year. Yielding to
the metropolis one-half of the number as a large proportion, the
remaining half will belong to the provinces and Ireland, who will
probably prefer to be conveyed from or to their localities without
the annoyance of being compelled to pass through London, es-
pecially as the saving of distance alone will considerably diminish
expenses. _ _ .

The construction of this line of railway can hardly fail to meet
the full approvol of the Government ; as, besides its great com-
mercial utility, the convenience it will afford for the speedy tran.
sport of troops from Ireland, or the north, south, or west of Eng-
land to Dover, in a direct manner, Avoiding the present necessity of
marching them across London or uther towns, after they are once
placed in railway carriages, must begreatly appreciated ; and where
it is expedient that expedition and secrecy should be observed in
the removal of troops, the means offered by this Company will
greatly assist the authorities in facilitating their objects.
The railways already constructed or projected with which this
line of railway will effect a union or communication, and recipro.
cate, advantages exceed fifty in number (as will be seen by examin-
ing any railway map), and all of them must be in direct commu-
nication with, and will feed, or be fed by The Southern Counties
Union, and Bristol, Bath, and Dover Direct Railway ; the most
important junctions being those leading to this line from the north
and the manufacturing districts by Oxford to Dovor and Brighton,
those from Ireland, North Wales by Cheltenham or Oxford and
this railway to Dover or Brighton, and those from the south and
west of England by Salisbury to Dover ; thus effecting a con-
tinuance and direct intercourse with nearly every part of Eng-
land, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and the continent.

The census returns show that this railway will pass through a
country containing a population of upwards of one million, and this
number, though large, may be fairly multiplied several tines, if all
the other parts of the kingdom which will benefit by it be con.
ridered.

With these facts before them, the promoters have not deemed it
necessary to put forth estimates of traffic; the soundness of the
project being guaranteed by the truths already given in this brief
exposition, and the great objects intended to be compassed by this
Company.

PROSPECTUS.
The objects intended to be accomplished by this undertaking are-
1. The supply of local railway accommodation to the important
districts embraced by the line.
2. The benefit cf railway communication with the metropolis to a
district of country upwards of 50 miles in length at present unprovided
with that accommodation.
3. The completion of the chain of railway communication between
ptioiert,,, includingriverSev andthaenitof Hull.
the southern and western counties, and the
north-eastern districts of the kingdom and the river 1-Itiniber, and ita
Commencing at the town of Northampton, in conjunction with the
London and Birmingham, and the lines of railway proposed to colt-
Verge at that town from Cheltehhamp and the west trOg; Worcester

and from Warwick, the line will proceed in a direct course to the
market town of Kettering, by which place all the companies cons-
peti.ig for the line of railway between London and Manchester pro-
pose to pass. It will then proceed, also, in a direct course to the
market towns of Uppingham, Oakham, and Grantham, to Lincoln.
The country lying between the towns of Northampton and Gran-
tham is wholly without existing or even proposed railway accommo-
dation, not only to the south, but also to the north.
At Lincoln the line will fork, and proceed on the one hand in a
northerly direction to the flourishing port of Gainsborough, and on
the other by a north-eastern course to the market town of Market
Raisen, on the rising port of Great Grimsby.
By an union with the Sheffield and Great Grimsby Junction Rail-
way at Market Raisen, a d rest and uninterrupted chain of commu-
nication will be established between all the above-mentioned districts
and the town and port of Hull.
The sources of traffic which this line will secure are various and
very considerable ; sonic of them only can be here enumerate',
viz. :

Starting from Great Grimsby the line will appropriate to itself the
whole of the traffic thence to the metropolis, and also the southern
anti western districts of the country, and, in addit'on, it will secure
the important and increasing local traffic between that town and
Market Raisen and Lincoln.
From Gainsborough, the termini of several ralways from the
north and north-west, this line will carry the traffic to Lincoln, its
county town.
The traffic from Hull to the metropolis, and also to the west, will
enter upon this line at Market Batten, and proceed thereon to
Lincoln.
From Lincoln the whole of the traffic passing to the west and the
intermediate towns must pass over this line.
In the event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not
obtaining the r Bill, then the traffic from Lincoln to the south and
west, and also the metropolis, will pass along this line of railway ;
the former the whole distance, and the latter at any event to Gran-
tham, a distance of about twenty-five miles ; and should the London
and York Company not succeed, such traffic will proceed on to Ket-
tering or Northampton.
The enti: e district between Grantham and Kettering, a distance of
more than forty unites, and including the market towns of Oakham
and lippingham, is without railway or water-carriage accommoda-
tion, and the whole of its traffic therefore will travel over this line of
railway, which will be in the direct course not only to the west but
also to London.

......
At Kette,ing this line will unite with that one of the now com-
peting schemes passing that town from Manchester and Leicester to
London which shall be successful before Parliament.
The country is free from engineering difficulties, with one or two
exceptions only, and those are more than counterbalanced by the very
favourable gradients of by far the greate-: portion of the line ; indeed,
for many miles the line will run upon a water level.
The lire will not interfere with any ornamental property.
The landowners on the line are favourable to the undertaking.

The promoters reserve power to alter and vary the route, and ex-
tend the proposed line of railway, and to increase the amount of
capital, as may be necessary or advisable.

BANKERS—The London and County Bank.
The principal object this Company has in view is, the completion of
a li7-s of railway throughout the entire South-Western and Eastern
Coasts of England, and it is well known that coast lines of railway
invariably meet with the support of Government, and seldom has
any Company come before the public with objects which are so mani-
festly to the interest of the executive cordially to support.
'f he coast line will be completed thus, by commencing at Dover,
and using the South-Eastern line to a point on it beyond F. lkstone,
near to Newington, from thence it will proceed to the populous towns
and watering places of Sandgate, Hythe, Dymchurch, New
Romney, and Lydd, and thence on to Rye; at Rye
it will join the branch which the South-Eastern Company
have an Act for making from Ashford (via Rye) to Hastings ; but
should the South-Eastern Company decline to make this branch,
this Company will them, continue their line on to Hastings, and
thereby forming a junction with the Brighton and Hastings Rail-
way, effect the object of the Company, viz., an entire and unbroken
chain of Coast Railway from Dover to Brighton, Portsmouth,
Southampton, Poole, Dorchester, Exeter, Plymouth, and Falmouth.
The advantages which such a line presents are too numerous and
apparent to need enumeration.
The traffic Mlles, got up with infinite labour and care by the
To
pre-eminently from Hastii,gs to Doe
Brighton and Hastings Company, show a very large remuneration
the
on the capital invested in that railway, and whatever applies to that
line of railway, applies with:eqtml, if not greater force, to a continua-
tion
importantr agricultural district of Romney
Marsh, this line offers advantages which it was most unduly deprived
of by the contention between the London and Brighton and the
South-Eastern Companies, which resulted in the interest of the Lon-
don and Brighton stopping suddenly in a terminus at Hastings ; and,
on the other hand, the South-Eastern carrying a branch from Ashford
to Hastings, thus leaving the whole of Romney Marsh entirely un-
provided with a speedy and ready mode of transit ibr the immense
produce of that valuable district, as welt to the east as to the west,
which are alike supplied by it with cattle. By this line the large and
wealthy graziers of the Marsh will be enabled toleffeet the object they
have had so long in view, of sending their stock at once, in good con-
dition, speedily and cheaply to and from the London and other mar-
kets. The line is one of singular facilities of construction, the whola of
the Marsh Leine perfectly goo and sound greund for railway purposes,
and the entire ab. ence of interposing difficulties which occur in nearly
every other line of railway will render this one comparatively cheap
in its construction.
The inhabitants of Sandgate, Burmarsh, Hythe, New Romney,
Lydd, and Rye, have sprung forwardmost zealously to support this
company, as affording them facilities they are so justly entitled, from
their position, to demand.
A most powerful company has come before the public for making
a railway from Cheltenham to Brighton, by means of which line,
and others before el,umerated, a direct and expeditious course is
opened between the whole of the eastern, western, and midland,
ports of England, and the important mercantile and naval stations
on the south coast of England.
From the estimates prepared, it is confidently anticipated that the
whole of the proposed capital will not be required.
The line will be twenty miles in length, but if the South-Eastern
Company do not carry out so much of their Ashford and Hastings
branch as is between H stings and Rye, the line will be then twenty-
six miles In length.
Until an Act of Parliament can be obtained, the affairs of this
company will be t inter the control of a hoard of Managing Din•c-
tors, to whom power is
funds of the Company in payment of all expenses incurred in its
formation, and in the preparation of plans and sections to be sub-
mitted to Parliament.
Power will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime is
he eby given to the managing directors as above, to alter or vary the
proposed capital either betbre or after allotment, and to rats m any
additional capital, to abandon any part of the line, to make branch
lines, docks, piers, wharfs, or jetties, or cuter into any arrangemeut
with any other Company or Companies,and also to nominate the first
directors of the Company,

The proposed railway will commence at Rugby, on the London
and Birmingham Railway, the terminus of the Midland Counties •
and Trent Valley Railways, and the paint to which several other
projected railways converge, and will proceed through or near to
Leamington, Warwick, Stratford-on-Avon, Eveshani, Tewkesbury,
and Chelteneam, to Gloucester. The length of the line will be
about 56 miles.
The advantages that will resultfrom the construction of this line
are numerous and highly important, and such as cannot fail to secure
a very large amount of local and through traffic, and a highly-re-
munerative return upon the capital invested. By means of existing
and proposed railway s, it will ferm a complete chain of railway com-
munication beim en the whole of the midland and north-eastern
counties of Eneland, the populous cities and towns before-named, and
the southern and western districts, anti thus bring Leicester, Not-
tingliatn, Newark, Lincoln, Gainetorough, Great Grimsby, and Hull,
into direct communication with the favourite and fashionable spas of
Leamington and Cheltenham, the richly-productive and far-famed
Vale of Evesham, and the seaports of Gloucester, Bristol, Plymouth,
and Falmouth, and those of South Wales.
The inhabitants and visitors of the nruch-frequented watering-
places of Leamington and Cheltenham, will thus obtain a direct line
between those reeorts, instead of the present circuitous route through
Birmingham, affording that facility of intercommunication which
has long been ardently desired ; and it will also afford the utmost fa-
cility of access to the innumerable visitors who, attracted as well by
the beauty of the scenery as the memory of Shakspeare, annually
resort to Stratford-on-Avon.
To those passengers from the east and north-east, direct to Glou-
Gloucester, the line from Tewkesbury, cutting off the angle of the
Birmingham and Gloucester Railway to Cheltenham, will afford a
great accommodation. and a saving in distance of at least eight miles,
besides the delay of the stoppage at Cheltenham.
ea Tewkesbury it will also form a junction with the proposed line
from that place to Malvern, affording the most direct communication
to the numerous visitors to the magnificent scenery and invigorating
atmcsphere of the celebrated Malvern-hills.
To the inhabitants of the ancient and populous borough of Tewkes-
bury, this portion of the proposed line will prove immensely advan-
tageous ; situated within ten miles of the important city and port of
Gloucester, they have nevertheless to travel by the present railway
route nearly twice that distance, an inconvenience which has
already materially affected the trade, and prejudiced the ntere-ts of
the town. The proposed line, running close to the town, will remove
this great incon . enienee, and restore its trade to its former state of
prosperity.
The value of this line to the city and port of Gloucester cannot
be too highly estimated, as it will not only open to it immen, e
sources of traffic from the whole of the eastern and north-eastern
counties, but will very materially lessen the distance between it
and Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and South Stafeirdshire, making
Gloucester still more securely the nearest and most accessible outlet
for the whole of that immensely productive manufacturing region ,
and it is impossible to conceive any project better calculated to
advance the interests of Gloucester, than one capable of effecting
that object.
This line will also form an important junction between the London
and Birmingham and Midlands Railways, and the Bristol and
Gloucester Rail Way, and constitute the highway for the traffic of the
former, and of all the north-eastern railwayseto the proposed Man-
chester and Southampton Railway at Cheltenham ; and the through
traffic from the latter source alone is expected to be very great.;
It will thus have the effect of connecting the ports of the eastern
and north-eastern with those of the western and southern coasts ;
of affording the most direct and convenient access from the north
and east'to the teat mineral regions of South Wales, and of opening
new markets for the rich products of the fertile valleys of the Avon
and Severs, and the agricultural districts of Warwickshire and Wor •
cestershire, in the manufacturing towns and ports of the north.
The line will be easy of construction, traversing, as it does, through
nearly its whole length, the valleys of the Avon and Severn. The
towns through which it will run are very populous, and the country
of the richest description ; and the local traffic will consequently be
very great in addition to the through traffic, which on such a line
must necessarily be very extensive.
The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the pcwer to
amalgamate with any other company as to the whole or any part of
the line and to vary or extend the line, and to increase or diminish
the capital accordingly, if deemed expedient.
The capital proposed to be raised is 1,000,9001., in shares of 201,
upon which a deposit of 2/. 25. per share must be paid upon allot-
ment.
The liability of the subscribers will be limited by the Act to the
amount of their respective subscriptions to the capital stock, and
power will be applied for in the Act to allow interest at the rate of
41. per cent.per annum on the amount of the deposit. and upon the re-
spective calls, from the date of each payment until the opening of the
line.
The Subscribers' Agreement and the Parliamentary Contract will
be required to be duly executed when the bankers' receipts are ex
changed for certificates of scrip, of which due notice will be given ;
and the deposits paid by persons making default in due execution bf
the Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract within the
iliac to be limited by such notice, will be absolutely forfeited.
Forms of application for shares, prospectuses, and a map of the
line, may be obtained from the Solicitors, or the Secretary, at the
Offices of the Company, 28, Essex-street, Strand, London, or from
any of the undermentioned Sharebrokers ; but no application will be
attended to unless accompanied by a reference to one of the Provi-
sional Committee, the Solicitors, or a Banker.
