Offices, 6, Old Jewry, Octob 3r 22, 1846.
Sir,—Many Members of our Committee arc aware that the nego-
tiations with the larger Companies, whose interests are identified
with this project, and whose support the Committee 'were led to ex-
pect, retarded for a considerable time the surveys and other pre-
liminaries required by the standing orders of Par‘iatnent ; never-
theless, until within these few heurs, we felt confident that our ar-
rangements were such as to secure a compliance with those orders ;
but the engineers whose services we fully relied upon, have disap-
pointed us, and we are this day only reluctantly brought to the
conclusion that there is not sufficient time to complete the survey►
of this important line with that extreme care wLich we deem
requisite in presenting any new project to the ensuing: session. We
feel Wined, however; by the numerous and substantial expres-
sions of support we have received, in pressing upon the Committee
the necessity of continuing their cordial. co-operation in aid of this
project, entertaining as we do, in common with others of no mean
authority, the full conviction that it must eventually receive the
sanction of the Legislature.
We have the honour to be,
Your very obedient and faithful?. servants,

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
C (IAMBRIDGE and COLCHESTER
RAILWAY.
Capital, 800,0001., in 40,000 Shin es of 201. each.
Deposit, 21. 2s. per Share.
This Company has been formed for making the above line of rail-
way, and a list of the Provisional Committee, containing most in-
fluential names, will appear in a few days.
This railway will commence at the University town of Cambridge,
and proceed from thence to Colchester, passing through or near the
towns of Linton, Haverhill, Great Yeldham, Hedingllauf, and Hal-
stead,
proceeding.by Thorp and Wesley to Walton-on-the-Naze.
On reference to the map, it will be seen that this line will pass
through a part of the country at present unprovided with railway
accommodation, and bring the town of Cambridge in close connexion
with Colchester, and the fast improving seaport town of Harwich,
And by means of the railways already formed and proposed to be
formed, will open a communication with Yorkshire and all parts of
the north, with Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, Manchester, Liver-
pool, and other large manufacturing towns, and the rich mineral
districts of Staffordshire, the important towns of Birmingham and
Worcester, north and south Wales, and by the Northampton, Ban-
bury and Cheltenham Railway, with all parts of the west of England,
as well as opening a direct communication to the important seaport
towns on the eastern coast.
A considerable Parliamentary grant having been made to improve
the harbour of-Harwich; a Company has been formed to make large
and commodious docks at, that place, and from the fact of Harwich
being directly opposite the ports of Holland (thus bringing it in
communication with the railways In Germany) there is no doubt
but that Harwich will become a first-rate sea-tort town for exten-
sive commercial and passenger traffic, and will be a powerful
feeder to this line.
The town of Colehester is also a sea-port, from which coals and
goods in large quantities are supplied to Halstead and the adjacent
populous towns and villages, and goods, flour, malt, &c., in large
quantities are shipped (supplied from the district through which this
line is.proposed to pass) to London and other places.
Therefore this line will open a communication much needed, and
theretannot ba any doubt but that the undertaking is one of great
importance, as affording railway accommodation to a large and po-
pulous district of country through which it will pass, and that it
will pay a good rate of interest on the capital invested
From Colchester the line will proceed to the fast-improving and
much admired watering-place, Waltontbn the-Naze, passing through
Thorp and Wesley, and thereby affording railway accommodation
from the Midland Counties to that place of summer resort for sea
bathing.
Power will be applied for to allow 4/. per cent. on deposits an
all calls until the line is opened. I
Prospectuses and plans will be forthwith issued, and, in the
meantime applications for Shares may be made to the solicitors,

Pell, jun., Esq. Welford, Northamptonshire ; and George Cooke, Esq

The Provisional Committee of the North London Junction Rail
way Company have great satisfaction in informing their subscribers
that negotiations are now pending between the Provisional Commit-
tee of this Company and the Directors of the Railways north of the
Thames of such a character as to assure them that the City terminus
of this Company will form the Grand Terminus of all the City traffic
north or London.
To effect tkis important object, an area of 10 acres rovedoe (the
southern boundary of which is within 500 yards of k of
England) has been most carefully surveyed and valued, and the re-
port of the architect and engineer is of so favourable a character as to
have induced the Provisional Committee to determine on purchasing
the entire site, and it has, therefore, been resolved by them to in-
crease the capital of this Company to 1,300,0801.
The Provisional Committee consider it of paramount importance
to secure within the limits of their City terminus, the amplest and
most complete accommodation for the traffic of each of the railway
companies who may co-operate with them, an object which will be
effected by opening the very extensive and valuable space of ground
alluded to, within the centre of the City of London.
Counties
In conjunction with this enlarged plan, it is intended to embrace
that of a branch line to the present station of the Eastern Co
Railway in Shoreditch, which will effect an entire junction etween
the eastern and western parts of the metropolis ; and at the same
time afford a direct communication between the whole of the rail-
ways, which reach London tothe north of the Thes, and
givegie
full development to each of their schemes by creating for e
common centre within the heart of the metropolis.
Independently, therefore, of the almost incalculable local traffic
which the position of their City terminus will ensure to this Com-
pany, will be added that of those companies also who will eventually
co-operate with the North London Junction Railway Company, and
the perfection of a project of no ordinary magnitude and
will be realised throughout the whole of this short but very valuable
line of railway'. importance
A lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the
entire district through which this Company proposes to run this line;
by this means the most casual observer will be enabled to ascertain
that the environs of London, north of the Thames, will be placed to
immediate communication with the City ; while the dense popu-
lation of the City will enjoy a fad' ity of connexion with its suburban
localities, necessarily affording it the ;greatest accommodation.
With such important local resources, therefore, together with the
I vast traffic on which the shareholders of this Company have a right
to rely for profit, a large amount of revenue may be fairly and justly
anticipated, fully commensurate with the outlay of the proposed
capital. That revenue will be derived thus :
The daily passenger traffic on the Great Western amounts to
3,345, one-half of which reaches the City. The London and Bir-
mingham amounts to 4,322 daily, two-thirds of which reach the
City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,400
persons daily, half
of whom pass to the West-end of London. The omnibus traffic daily
is 30,894 passengers, two-thirds of 'which may be given to the City.
Passengers from the suburban districts reaching the City, now un-
accommodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily.

Leeds
HuddertAeld

The object of this undertaking is to form a continuous line of rail•
way from Leeds to Liverpool, by extending the lines already made,
or sanctioned by Parliament, from their respective termini at Hud•
dersteld, in Yorkshire, and Bury, for which extension a line of rail-
way only 25 miles in length is requisite. The proposed line 'will com-
mence at the Huddersfield station, between which place and Leeds.
Parliament has already sanctioned the formation of railways, and
awn Huddersfield the proposed line will proceed by way of Hillhouse'
Birchencliffe, and Lindley, and thence along the valley between
Stainland and Greetland, through Bark'sland, the Vale ofßipponden,
and by Rochdale to Bury, in Lanuashire, where it will join the ter-
minus of the Liverpool and Bury line of railway.
In addition to completing a direct ceminilnieation from Liverpool
to Leeds, Hull, and G;Oole, by the Shortest practicable route, and by
a much smaller 0e:,..1ay of capital, than by any other proposed line, it
will provide fo: a large and important manufacturing poplation,
hitherto wits.iout the advantage of railway accommodation, an outlet
to the so,th by Means of the Huddersfield and Sheffield Junction
Rails r~~ and to Manchester and to North and South Lancashire by
the railways above mentioned, and by the Leeds and Manchester
J....enemy, by a proposed junction therewith at Rochdale.
This line, when completed, will, in addition to the advantages
which it presents as a through line, pass through a succession of val-
leys thickly studded with mills and manufactories, consuming a
large quantity of raw materials and coal, all of which are brought
from a distance, and transmitting to other districts the produce of
their industry, for which purposes a line of railway has become ab-
solutely necessary, and there can be no doubt that an ample return
will be realised for the outlay of capital required.
The distance between Huddersfield and Reehiale by the present
nue of railway is thirty miles, which by the proposed railway will be
reduced to seventeen miles.
The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the right of enter-
ing into any arrangements with existing railway companies that may
appear desirable. And power will be taken by the Act of Parliament
to allow interest to the shareholders at the rate of 4/. per cent. per
annum on the amounts paid on their shares from the respective times
of payment to the times of opening the railway.
Applications for shares may be addressed, in the subjoined form, to
any of the undermentioned Sharebrokers, viz.—Messrs. Hill, Fawcett
and Hill, Threadneedle-street, London ; Mr. David Kinnear, }Min-

This railway will pass from the city of Exeter, through the
rich valley of the Exe, via Silverton and Bickleigh, direct to
Tiverton, one of the chief towns of this important district, and
formerly the principal market and manufacturing town of the west
of England. It will administer largely to the prosperity of this
rich and productive country, and will pass from Tiverton, by Bainp-
ton, Dulverton, and Punster, to the port of Minehead in the Bristol
Channel, opposite Landaff, Swansea, and Cardiff, from whence the
produce of the rich mines mid quarries of Merthyr Tydvil, Ponty-
pool, and Newport, in Wales, can be transferred by the shortest
route to the English markets. From 31inehead it will pass by
Porlock and Combo-Marten to the much-frequented watering-place
of Ilfracombe' where it unites with the Barnstaple and Ilfracombe
Railway. At 3iinehead it will also join the Bridgewater and Mine-
head Railway, to which it will serve as an important feeder, connect-
ing the towns on the north • coast of Devon directly with the great
western trunk railroads passing from London to the Land's End. It
will also form a very short and, direct junction of the Bristol And
English Channels.
