The wl,-'
of the traffic (Whether of passengers or goods) from the
9°' to the south or England now passes through the streets of
e.ondon. No ritilway has yet been projected to avoid this course, so
obviotisty Inconvenient to the passenger, and so enormously expen-
sive to the carrier.

The Tring and Reigate Railway will afford accommodation to the
manufacturing districts of Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, and Binning
ham, and ''place them in direct communication with the southern
ports (from Dover to Southampton) and France, at a saving of ten
miles, of which four consist of the streets of London, and effectually
connect the several Stations of the Dover, Brighton, South-Western,
Great West'Oth, and Biriningham Railways, without causing the
ruinous npense attendant upon all schemes for joining their present
terffitni in London

The importance of a direct communication between the coal [fields
and manufacturing districts of Birmingham, the midland counties,
and the north with the southern coast, extending, at the least, from
Dover to Southampton, need not be dwelt upon. A new line of no
less than 13714 miles has just been projected to connect Birmingham
and Brighton alone. The Tring and Reigate will be forty-four miles.
The courso of this line is as follows :--Leaving the London and Bir-
mingham Railway at Tritt,g, it will pass through Cliesham, Aniersham,
Beaconsfield, to Slough, on the Great Western Railway ; through
Upton, Ratchet, Egham, Staines, and Chertsey, it will reach the
Sc:uth-Western Railway at Weybridge ; thence through Cobham and
Lentherhead, it will pass near Dorking to the Reigate station of ilia
Dover and Brighton Railways; thus intersecting four tratik rail-
ways at first class stations.

The intermediate traffic may be stated as follows :—From Wen-
dover to Slough it will command the traffic to Dondon and the West
of England by its junction with the Great Western Railway ; it will
afford to Windsor a direct communication to the Isle of Wight by
way of the South-Western ; to Brighton and Dover by way of Bei •
gate ; and to all the railways of the north by way of Tring ; and it
will pass. as before stated, through the populous districts of Eghanr,
Staines, Chertsey, Cobham, and Dorking, to the Reigate station by
way of Epsom.
It may be fairly stated that this railway, far from injuring any
existing line,"will greatly benefit every one that it touches, and that
opening, as it will do, a direct communication to the northern and
midland eitnities with Brighton, and affording to Windsor the com-
mand of all the railways in the kingdom, must be successful.
To persons conversant with railway affairs, a glance at any railway
map will convey more convincing information as to its merits than
the most elaborate prospectus.
Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the
Company shall he under the control of dm CCiinmittee of Manage-
ment, who are empowered to enter into such arrangements as shall
best serve the interests of fhe COinpany, and to raise any adeitional
capital that may pecothe requisite for extensions of the line, or
otherwise, "
Power Shall be taken under the Act to limit the responsibility of
shareholders to the amount of their subscription, and to allow interest
at 4 per cent. upon the calls.

The engineers are now engaged bt surveying the line, and the
whole will be completed In time tbr the ensuing session. A pref,rence
will be gii-en in the allotment of shares to the landowners and to the
shareholders In the several railways interested in its formation.,

ENGINEER'S REPORT.
The Managing Committee have great pleasure in submitting the
following tePort, received froth their engineer. This affords satisfac-
tory assurance that the line will " be certainly ready for the coming
session.

To the Provisional Committee of the Tring and Reigate Railway.
Gentlemen,—l have the honour :to report to you that I have mi-
nutely:examined the country lying between Tring and Reigate for
the proposed " Tring and Reigate Railway."
The ground from the Reigate station on the South-Eastern Rail-
way, via Reigate to Leatherhead, is the only difficult portion of the
line ; some tunnelling and cutting being required, after which, by
Cobham, Chertsey, Staines, Datchet, Upton, Slough, Farnham Royal,
Beaconsfield, Amersham, and Chesham, to or near the Tring station,
the country is of a nature most favourable for the construction of a
railway.
- • .
I consider the route here pointed out far the " Tring and Reigate
Railway," not only a most excellent one as referring to the con-
struction .of the line, but pre-eminently good in respect of the pro-
speet of its paying ; for in addition to its affording a direct means of
communication from the north and midlands' districts to Brighton
and Dover, it will at the same time become a series of connecting
links with the main trunks of the country.
