The object of this important scheme is the establishment of a direct
line of communication between Birmingham and Birkenhead by the
nearest possible route, and at the smallest possible outlay. The great
advantages of such a project are, that with the least possible amount
of injury to existing interests, the public will realise all the benefit of
an entirely new, direct, and independent line
FROM LONDON AND BIRMINGIIA3I TO BIRKENHEAD,
FROM LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM TO HOLYHEAD.
And on the completion of the proposed Birkenhead and Liverpool
Railway-bridge, the shortest and most direct route
FROM LONDON TO LIVERPOOL.
. . .

The line to be constructed by this Company will be about 45
miles in length. It is proposed to make use of the railway commu-
nication already existing between London and Birmingham, and
Birmingham and Wolverhampton, and thence to throw out a con-
tinued line through Market Drayton to Chester, where a junction
will be effected with the railway already existing between that city
and Birkenhead. By this means about 15 miles will be saved be-
tween Birmingham and Birkenhead, about 25 mi'es between Bir-
mingham and Liverpool, and many miles between Birmingham and
Holyhead. The distance between London and these places will be
shortened in like proportion.

. -
Not only is such a line greatly needed, but the Feheme is fraught
with consequences of the highest possible amount to the commercial
interests of the country.
The importance and growing prosperity of Birkenhead impera-
tively demand difect communication with the midland, southern,
western, and eastern counties, from which it is virtually excluded by
the circuitous routes of every other line, whether existing or pro-
jected. By passing near to the Lilleshall and South Staffordshire
ironworks, the ironmasters of those localities will be enabled to com-
pete with the Scotch market, which they have hitherto been unable
to. do, in consequence of the heavy charges or freight to lAirkenhead
and Liverpool ; and by accommodating Newport and Market Dray-
ton, it will impart to an important agricultural district the advan-
tages of a local railway, which has long been wanted. The line is
further required for the convenience of the immense population of
the termini, and the full development of the vast through traffic, both
in passengers and merchandise, from the south, east, and west of the
metropolis.

A most important feature in tide project is, tint it will open the
shortest possible route from London to Ireland, with the least
possible amount of sea travelling,.

Prom the causes above entuncrateki, tho proposed line offers a safe
field ;for lucrative investment ; but in addition to this, the Trent
Valley, London and Birmingham, Birmingham and Gloucester, Ox-
ford, and Worcester and Wolverhampton, as well as tho Stafford and
Shropshire Railways, will Le valuable tributaries to its revenue.

By adopting tlils particular route, all engineering dillicultico will
be avoided, and great local influence secured.

The surveys are in a forward state, and the projectors will be quite
ready to proceed to Parliament next session. Prospectuses and
plans may be obtained on application to any of the solicitors or
agents, to whom application for shares may be made in the follow-
ing form :

I The main line to be laid down by the Company will be considerably
loss than 100 miles, throughout which the strongest enceuragemer t
and support have been manifested towards tbis railway bra thelatithai
proprietors, many of whom have determined tii itittOt capital in the
undertaking; and the enaineer's report precludes any apprehen.
Lion of engineering difficulties. The great public utility and corn.
mercial advantages of railway communication between the important
places and perts 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 thim
Company.
This line is intended to begin at Atil'tl by
Western Railway, and rassing thronh 138th g to Bath Hampton
Means of the Great
seY,
it will skirt the alley Of the Avers, to Bradford, end thence to
Trowbridge. It will then take as straight a diegetion as con be
obtained to Devises, All Cannings, Pcia
BLit-hays, Shalborne,
West Woodhay, High Clere, and Overton, 'on to Basingstoke,
where it will unite with the South `astern 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 Sot tlyWestern Railway, i iroceed on to near
Farnborough
(a distinpe of fourteen miles) whence, leaving
Farnham to the south,
.it will pass onward to Ashe, Guildford,
Comilla, and Dorking to Riegate, where it will unite with the
South Eastern and Dover Railway—Pie latter, eighteen miles
from Guildford to Reigate wilt in all probability be constructed by
another Co:npany.)
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 bigh'y advantageous to the several Companies interested,pre.
clueing an immense traffic, that must stream from Ireland—from
our great manufacturing districts in the north—the cloth and corn
markets of the west of England—the mineral and coal fields of
Wales, and the hop districts in Kent—all of which point to the
formation of this railway as a great desideratum, as will also as to

will be entire'y 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 Dever 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 statetnents 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 Folkenitone, 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 approve! of the Government ; as, besides its great com-
mercial utility, the convenience it will afford fir 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 ether towns, after they are once
placed in railway carriages, must be greatly 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 excacd 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, B.,th, 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 %Vales by Cheltenham or Oxford and
this railway to Dover or Brighton, and those from the south and
west of Englain.. by Salisbury to Dover; thus effecting a con-
tinuance and direct intercourse with nearly every part of Eng-
land, VVAles, 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 tinies,if all

,he other part; of the kingdom which will benefit by it be can-

With these farts before them, the promoters have not deemed it
ncce.sary 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.

r.ititcd t o lfojr
The vast importance of this undertaking, whereby, a junction will
be effected between all exiving and projected railways north of the
Thames, combined with the advantage of a general City terminus,
is too obvious in retedre Continent.
By the propesed railway, passengers and goods will be brought
into the heart of the City at a great saving of time and expense,
and facilities will he afforded for the in •re expeditious transmission
of the mails to most parts of the kingdom.
The libe will commence at the Great Western Railway ter-
, retinue, and will follow the coarse of the canal throughout, inter-
secting the tendon and Birmiegham Railway at Caniden•town,
the proposed London and York and Direct Manchester near l'en-
tonyll!e, the Eastern Counties ac Old Fora, and the Blackwell
Railway at Limehouse ; travers'ng the populous districts lof Pad-
dington, Carndeu-town, Islington, City-road, Hoxton, Kingslard,
and Hackney,—terminating at the Regent's Canal Dock at Lime-
house, a.:3olning the River Thames, to which there is a wharf
frontage of 170 fort.
The basins, wharfe, warehouses, and buildings at the City.roari,
Limehouse, and along the line of panel will be equally available,
as et present for the large and inceeesing local goods traffic now
existing on the canal,
Surveys have been made of the property required for the pro.
nosed extension, which it is found can be constructed at a come

cost which could be accomplished by no other means than by the
conversion of the Regent's Canal. _ .

There are no engineering difficulties of importance to overcome,
the approaches to, and the communications across the line, are
already established, and a comparatively small extent only of psi.
vote property willba with or require to be purchased,
and the completion of the opening of the line may
be confidently expected eithin`. :It months after the sanction of
the Legislature has beenabtained.

cretary, Frederick Collier, Esq., at the offices of the Company,

Parties who are registered proprietors in the Regent's Canal and
in the exiting railways and docks connected with this undertaking
are requested to state the fact in their application.
