Capital, 280,0001., in Shares of 201. each.
Deposit 21. 2s. per Share.
At a meeting of the Provisional Committee, held this day at Rad
ley's Hotel, New Bridge-street,

It was resolved to reduce the capital of this Company to 280,0001.,
being the estimate for the main and branch lines and the pier, it
having been deemed advisable not to apply for powers for the con-
struction of docks, warehouses, &c., as originally contemplated.
The engineer reported that the whole of the Parliamentary surveys
were completed with respect to the main laud, and that the surveys
on the branch line to Thorpe-le-Soken would be concluded within a
week or ten days.
_ _

Resolutions were adopted expressive of a determination to proceed
with the application to Parliament in the ensuing session ; but that
the allotment of shares should be deferred until after the deposit of
the plans and sections on or previously to the 30th November next.
Prospectuses, with full details and forms of application for shares,
can be obtained only of the solicitors in London and Colchester, and

The Directors think it right to advertise the following resolu-
tion, passed by the Directors previously to the union of the two
Companies :

Resolved--That the conduct of Mr. W. H. Ashurst having been
publicly impugned in letters inserted in the newspapers under the
signature of George Remington, and this board knowing that those
imputations were and are wholly unhiunded, deem it right
to declare that to their knowledge Mr. Atheist's conduct in
connosion with the formation of this Company and its line of rail-
way was, in every respect, consistent with honour and professional
integrity ; and that he never submitted Mr. Remington's line of
railway, or any other line of railway, to the promoters of this Com-
pany, but simply urged upon them the importance of a direct line of
railway between London and Manchester; and that Mr. Remington
has addressed a letter to Mr. Aphurst, entirely retracting the charges
which he had made against him in the letters written and published
in Mr. Remington's name.

Railway Company shall alone apply to Parliament for a Bill for
making the railway.
That the two Companies shall be united into one when the Bill
for making the railway shall have received the royal assent.
That the proceedings of the two Companies shall be governed by
an equal number of Directors.
That the present Chairman of the Direct London and Manchester
Company, John Dillon, Esq., shall be the Chairman ; and that An-
drew Caldecott, Esq., and the Hon. Colonel Leicester Stanhope, shall

This railway is intended, by means of a junction with the Edin-
burgh and Hawick and the Caledonian, and Caledonian Extension
lines, to form a direct communication between Newcastle and Edin-
burgh and Glasgow. Starting from the Newcastle and North Shields
Railway station at Newcastle, the main line will proceed northward
by Coxlodge, and thence, by nearly a straight line, in the direction of
Ponteland and Betsey, by Lislesburr. to Woodburn, on the Reed,
whence it will follow the course of that river, passing Horsely, Bird-
hope, Woolaw, Catcleugh, and Whitelee, to Carter Fell, where the
Border will be crossed by a tunnel into Scotland, and so on to
Hawick, where it will join the before-mentioned lines from that town
to Edinburgh and Glasgow.
By this line the distance by railway between Newcastle and Edin-
burgh will be very materially shortened, whilst it will form the
shortest and (except by the circuitous route of the east coast line),
the only railway eommunication from Newcastle to Glasgow.
It is also intended, by a branch from the main line at Woodburn,
down the Valley of the North Tyne, to join the Newcastle aid Car-
lisle Railway near Hexham, and thus, by the lines now proposed to
be made, to form a direct communication from London to Scotland,
by the Midland and shortest route.
It will be observed, that the terminus at Newcastle has been
altered ;—this has been done after mature consideration, and with the
view of affording to the proposed line the additional facility of ship-
ment, by means of the tunnel which the Newcastle and Shields Rail-
way Company are under engagements, by their Act, to make from
their line to the Quayside, and of the proposed branch from that line,
at Percy Main, to the intended Docks at Coble Dean.
The union which has just been effected between the North Tyne
Junction, and the Newcastle, Hawick, Edinburgh, and Glasgow
Junction Companies, gives to the united Company the countenance
and support of nearly the whole of the landed proprietors, as well as
of tile owners and lessees of the extensive coal fields and ironworks
in the districts through which the proposed line will pass.
Amongst the various sources of revenue which will accrue to the
proposed line, the following may be briefly adverted to :—Facilities
will be afforded for the transit of lime and manure to, and of agricul-
tural products from, the extensive and valuable districts of North-
umberland, stretching in a north-westerly direction from Newcastle
to the Scottish border, and the fertile counties of Roxburgh, Selkirk,
Peebles, and Lanark; whilst the transport of live stock, from the
same districts will be in an especial degree facilitated by this line,
since the roads, used for generations by the Scottish, drovers, will be
intinunediate contact with it for a considerable portion of its length.
The supply of coal to the populous manufacturing districts of Scot-
land, including the towns of Hawick, Jedburgh, Kelso, Melrose,
Galashiels, Peebles, Lanark, &c., has become an urgent necessity.
And the proposed line, proceeding as It does from the extensive coal
fields of the south-eastern portion of Northumberland, and through
the hitherto unapproachable seams if coal up the course of the Reed,
will become the principal means of supplying it, and thus derive an
abundant s3urce of revenue from its transit; as a proof of which,
coals are at present shipping, in considerable quantities, from New-
castle to Glasgow, through the Caledonian Canal, at heavy tonnage
rates, far exceeding the coot of transit by the proposed line, through
the entire distance from Newcastle to Glasgow.
An important feature, presented by this undertaking, is the de-
velopment, which will thereby be afforded, of extensive beds of
minerals in the districts of the North Tyne and Reed, especially of
limestone and ironstone ; tile latter of great richness and superiority,
for the manufacture of which extensive works are now in operation
at Hareshaw and Ridsdale, and others are projected and in course of
erection, the entire produce of which would be conveyed by the
proposed line to Newcastle, fbr consumption and shipment
By means of this line, the Tyne will become the most expeditious
♦nd economical place of shipment for all that portion of the manufac-
tures of Glasgow, and other manufacturing towns before mentioned,
intended for the eastern coast of England and the northern ports of
Earope.
Lastly, the passenger traffic between the towns on the western
side of Scotland, and the eastern and middle portions of England,
added to the great, local, and general traffic on the several parts of
the line, will form a large and constantly increasing item ofreturn,
always aided by the consideration, that the line laid down for this
railway will shorten the distance from the western and many other
parts of Scotland, to all the eastern portions of England, by not less
than thirty miles

From these united sources will flow an amount of income, that will
abundantly compensate the shareholders for the outlay upon the line.
A survey is rapidly proceeding, which the Committee are assured
by the engineers will be completed in time to deposit the requisite
plans, and to enable them to obtain an Act In the next session of Par-
liament for, at least, that part of the line which will lay open a very
considerable portion of the agricultural and mineral wealth, which
will form so important a feature in the general value of the under-
taking.

The Committee of Management of this Company have much plea-
sure in laying before the Shareholders the following brief Report
from the Company's Engineer on the progress of the survey of the
line:—

" Leeds and Carlisle Railway, London, Oct. 29, 1845.
" Wir,—ln reply to your letter of this day, I hare to request tbat
you will inform the Committee that I have just returned from a tour
over the line, and beg to report that the surveys for Parliament are
proceeding very favourably; the whole of the ground survey will, I
fully expect, be completed this week or early in next ; and about one
half of the line is now being engraved, and the remainder will be in
the engraver's hands next week. The solicitors are proceeding with
the reference, and the finished levels for the Parliamentary sections
are in progress, so that we fully expect that the whole will be ready
about the third week of next month, in good time for the deposit.
The gradients, also, for the most part, will be favourable, although
there will necessarily be some heavy work at the summit. The line
is laid out with a view to avoid the ornamental property ; and, upon
the whole, we have been very successful, and the landowners, I
learn, are generally favourable.

advantage of all parties.

The Committee have great satisfaction In being enabled to state
that this Company, from its financial position, as well as the pro-
gress of the survey and notices, will be prepared to comply with the
standing orders of Parliament, and proceed with the Bill this en-
suing session.

This proposed railway, while it will connect the manufacturing towns
of Dundee and Forfar by the nearest and most direct route, will form
a continuous and connecting link at the river Tay with the follow-
ing great railways :—The Edinburgh and Northern, the proposed
Glasgow and Dundee Junction, and the Perth and Dundee lines;
and, at the Forfar Terminus, will meet the Scottish Midland Junc-
tion from Edinburgn and Perth, and its proposed extension to the
Aberdeen Railway at Laurencekirk, also the Forfar and Arbroath
Railway, which joins the Aberdeen Railway at Friockheim—thus
amalgamating with these various railways, and forming a continu-
ous and centrical trunk for the general railway communication from
England through Scotland.
This line will be about fifteen miles in length, and, viewed only 111
a local connecting line between Dundee and Forfar, it is in a great
degree called for by the manufacturers, merchants, and farmers of
the district. It will beyond all question, from this source alone, have
a traffic sufficient for ample remuneration to the shareholders. For-
far is the county town, and there is necessarily a considerable inter
course with Dundee. To parties locally versant with this manufac-
turing district, the very extensive traffic and intercourse between
Dundee and Forfar are well known. The population of the district
connected with the line, is about 100,000.
Dundee, from its proximity to Forfar, and its extensive shipping
capabilities, is the proper and convenient port for exporting the pro-
duce of the district, but at present there is no direct railway com-
munication. The expense of transmitting goods at present between
Dundee and Forfar is fully double what it should be, and in a great
measure performed by horse carriage, an expensive and tedious pro-
cess; but the formation of this railway will open up a direct and
cheap communication, and will unquestionably benefit the trade and
agriculture of the district.

The line passes through a rich agricultural district, for the pro-
duce of which the farmers will by it find an easy and expeditious
transit to Dundee, both forth consumpt and exportation ; and the
agricultural value of the lands will be considerably increased by the
direct communication with the town and harbour of Dundee, and
the railways running south from the Tay. The extensive pave-
ment and slate quarries around Forfar and along the district will be
greatly enhanced by the line, as a cheap and easy access to Dundee
for exportation will thus be afforded.
The promoters of this railway, viewing the extensive local traffic,
the junction with the whole railways before enumerated in con-
nexion with the great English trunk railways, have no hesitation in
submitting this uncle; taking to the public, not only as ono necessarily
called for by the mercantile, manufacturing, and 'agricultural inte-
rests of the district, and public co•;venlency, but more especially by
its being the direct centrical line, forming a continuation of the rail-
way communication by the Edinburgh and Northern and Glasgow
Junction lines, through the counties of Fife and Forfar, to Aberdeen
and the north of Scotland.

As a safe investment for capital, this line, being thus in the midst
of a great manufacturing district, and from the present formation of
railway communication at both ends, will present the sure prospect
of being highly advantageous.
The district has already been surveyed, and precents no difficulty
to the formation of the railway; and the proprietors and tenants
along the line are understood to be very favourable to the under-
taking.

The requisite Parliamentary notices have been given, so that the
Bill may be introduced and passed in the ensuing Session ; and the
Company's engineer will immediately proceed to finish a minute
survey of the whole line and termini at Dundee and Forfar.
The Company will have also power by their notices to form the
line by a junction with the Dundee and Arbroath Railway at Broughty
Ferry, if this can bo considered consistent with the direct and unin-
terruptel main line of communication from Dundee to Forfar and the
north of Scotland intended by this Company.
