RAILROADS, IN THE ISLE OF WIGH.T
That the public may not be misled by the various statements
that have appeared in some of the public papers, and in the pro-
spectus of the Isle of Wight Railways, I am desired to state, that at a
General Meeting of the Landowners and Ratepayers of the island,
held at Newport, on the 26th of June last, resolutions were carried
declaring the opinion of the meeting to be adverse to the introduc-
tion of railways into the island, and that a committee of gentlemen
Was at the same Urns appointed to watch the proceedings of the
railway projectors ; and I am further directed by this Committee to
state, that not only will the scheme be opposed by the most influen-
tial: landed proprietors through whose estates the railways would
pass, but that it is also intended to offer a vigorous public opposition
the project in Parliament, should

This Railway is projected to supply the connexion still wanting
between Kendal and Cockermouth, Kendal and Ulverston,
sad
Keswick and Penrith. It will link the Furness Railways with
the Kendal and Windermere and the Lancaster and Carlisle Railways
at Kendal, and will further connect these with the Cockermouth

uniting again as a s2cond polti*W junero, it the Lancaster and Car-
lisle Railway at Penrith, and thns embracing all the frequmted sta-
tions ill the lake district, and accommodating the greatest amount of
population. The length of railway to be constructed by this Com-
pany will be 63 miles, namely, from Coelterrnouth via Keswick to
Windermere, 33 miles ; from Keswick to Penrith, 15 ; and from Win-
dermere to Furness, 15 miles ; and the surveys of the country prove
the line to be free from difficulty, and the gradients unexceptionable.
A prescribed interest in the project will be reserved for the Pro-
prietors in the Kendal and Winderinere and Cockermouth and
Workington Railway Companies ; also to those applicants in the pro-
posed Furness and Windermere Railway (now merged in this under-
taking); to whom letters of allotment were about to be issued.

YORK, HULL, and EAST and WEST YORK-
SHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY.
• • (Provisionally Registered.)
The importance of a direct line of railway from the City of York
to the port of full, which shall, at the same time, give the greatest
extent of accommodation to the intermediate district, now wholly de-
prived of the means of railway transit, is so apparent, that a com-
pany has been formed_for the construction of a line, commencing by a
junction with the London and York, and Leeds and York Railways, at
or near York, to the towns of PocklingtOn, Market Weighton, Bever-
ley, and terminating at the extensive East Docks, now in course
of construction at Hull, wait a branch from the main line, com-
mencing at or near Market Weighton, to Selby, thus affording,
the shortest and most direct communication from Newcastle and the
whole of the north of England, as well as from Skipton, Colne, Otley,
and the northern part of Lancashire, by the proposed*Lancashire and
Yorkshire North-Eas' ern Railway, to the important port of Hull, and
at the same time forming a complete connexion between the several
towns of York, Hull, Beverley, Drifileld, Bridlington, Market Weigh-
ton, Pocklington, and Selby.
The 'advantages which will be thus secured to the whole of the
East Riding, will appear by a reference to the map ; and negotiations
are now pencilr g by which this line will be promoted in friendly
conjunction wjth other important railways is the west of Yorkshire
and Lancashire.
The proposed branch from Market Weighton to Selby will give to
a rich and very highly cultivated portion of the East Riding • the
shortest line for the transmission of its agricuhiral produce to the
markets of Leeds, Wakefield, and the consuming districts, and secure
the return of coals, lithe, and manures, at a greatly reduced cost ;
while the terminus of the main line at the East Docks at Hull will
save the large expenditure which, without the construction of this
line, must be incurred in the carriage of merchandise across the

• • PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
The object of this Company is to supply the jnhabitants of the
southern, and a portion of the northern, districts of the' metropolis
with the pui'e water of the River Wandle, hi lieu of that which they
at present derive through the established Companies from the
Thames, contaminated as it is by the sewerage of the whole
metropolis.
The River Wandle rises at Croydon, and falls Into the Thames at
Wandsworth. The water will be taken from the mouth of the
fiver, thus avoiding compensation to the millowuers and others on
the stream.
This river willbe preserved uncontaminated by means of a series of
sewers cc nstructed along its course, into which every impurity now
finding its way into the stream will be turned, and flow direct into
the Thames. • By this mode a pure supply of water, exceeding in the
driest season 27,000,000 gallons daily, or more than four ti s: es the
quantity supplied by the :present Companies on the south side, will
be secured to,this Company.
This project, which is of real and undoubted importance, will com-
mand a most profitable return on the outlay, and confer a b Am on
the immense population of the districts in question. •
. The necessary surveys and estimates have been completed.'
Detailed prospectuses, containing the names of the Provisional
Committee and officers, will be punished shortly. Meantime appli-
cations for shares, in the form below, should be made to the joint
solicitors of the Company, Messrs. Burchell, Kilgour, and Parson,

The works will be of very easy construction. A survey is now
bein., made, and a detailed prospectus, with the names of a highly in-
fluential' Provisional Committee, together with the amount of capital,
and further particulars, will be announced in a few days.
Communications may, in the meantime, be addressed to the Com-
pany's solicitors,

SOUT H-EASTERN RAILWAY.
Tito Directors think it desirable to state that they sometime
sine 3 instructed Mr. Stephenson to prepare for Parliament in the
next solgion a complete system for supplying railway communi-
cation with the whold of Kent. It is proposed to provide direct lines to
Tunbridge, Maidstone, Gravesend, Rochester, Chatham, Faversham,
Canterbury, and DoVer. The surveys have been for some weeks in
progress, and the whole scheme will be very shortly in a complete
state. JOll N KIRKLAND, Chairman.
South-Eastern Rails ay-office, July 26, 1845.

Wales.
The country through which the line will pass is of the richest
description, and thickly populated.
By means of this; and the existing and projected lines of railway,
the whole of the ports iu the eastern and north-eastern counties, in-
cluding the manufacturing city of Norwich, and towns of Leicester,
Nottingham:Sheffield, and Leeds, will be brought in direct com-
munication with the mineral districts of North and South Wales,
and the salt district of Droitwich.
The promoters of this line submit to the public, as a most import-
ant consideration, the abating of those causes of loss and inconveni-
ence which, along the line of country over which this railway will
pass, arc experienced from water carriage being from necessity at
present a prncipal mode of transit for heavy goods and merchandise,
and which, in the winter season, is productive of the most evil con-
sequences to, those engaged in commerce.
A manifest advantage to the Shareholders will be the extent of traffic
which this line will secure and appropriate, in lieu of that which
hitherto has been engrossed by the more dilatory course of water
carriage. '
As a public advantage to the inhabitants generally of the country
through which this line will pass, the promoters submit that the
equalisation in prices of the produce and merchandise which the
opening of this line of railway is calculated to produce is of the high-
est importance, and one of the principal benefits which this and other
similar undertakings are alone capable of producing.
The proposed line-win commence at Rugby, the terminus of the
Midland Counties Ra!lway, and also of the proposed Rugby and Hunt-
ingdon Junction Railway, and proceed fr. m thence near to the towns
of Leamington, Warwick, Alcester, ahel end at the City of Worcester.
At Worcester this Niue will form a junction with the several Welsh
railways; the Shrewsbury, Worcester, and Crewe Union Railway,
and the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway.
At Warwick it will unite with the Birmingham and Oxford Junc-
tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon-
don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway.
And •at 'Rugby with the London and Birmingham, the Midland
Counties, and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railways.
To the inhabitants of Rugby as well as to those of the Midland,
Eastern, and Northern Counties this line will afford a direct com-
munication with the fashionable towns of Leamington and Chelten-
ham, as well the whole of the Western Counties.
To the inhabitants of Leamington and Warwick it will give a
direct communication with the City of Worcester and North and
South Wales, now so much needed.
And to the inhabitants of Worcester, in addition to providing the
nearest route to London via Warwick, it will be an outlet to the
Eastern Counties and ports, and afford great facilities for the increase
of the manufactories now carried on in that city.
The whole of the country has during the present month been most
carefully surveyed by the engineers, and they report it to be free from
engineering difficulty, and well adapted for a railway; and' the pro-
visional Directors entertain no doubt that the line will be made
under the average rate of e.xpense incident to similar undertakings,
and from the statistics in their possession, that the traffic will
afford an ample return for the capital invested.
The line will not interfere with any ornamental property, and the
landowners are favonrable to the undertaking.
The Shareholders in the several Railways proposed to be joined or
intersected will have a preference in the allotment of *hares in this
undertaking.
No person will befliable for more than his deposit till the Act is
obtained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at 4/. per
centum on all calls, froM the time of their respective payments, and
to limit the liability of the Shareholders to the mount of their sub-
rcriptions.
The Directors reserve power to themselves to amalgamate with
any existing or projected line of railway ; to vary the route ; to
make all desirable extensions; and to increase the capital as may be
advisable or necessary.
Prospectuses, with a Plan, will be published in a few days,
and may then be obtained on application to the several solicitors,
and to any of the following share brokers, viz., Messrs. Peppercorne
and Co., 2, Old Broad-street; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39, Loth-
bury, London ; Messrs. Payne and Freer, Leicester ; Messrs. Alston
and Gage, Liverpool; Messrs. Freeman and ,ton, Northampton; Mr.
John Duneaft, Manchester; Messrs. George Edwards and Son, Bris-
tol; Mr. John Watson, Leeds; Mr. John Cragg, Shipton ; and
Messrs. Atkinson, Newcastle ; to any of whom applications in the
nadermentioned form may be addressed.

The. Provisional Committee beg to announce that they have com-
pleted the allotment of shares in this undertaking, and that all the
letters of allotment have been this day posted. They regret that, in'
consequence of the overwhelming number of applications for shares
which they have received, they have been compelled materially to
reduce the amounts allotted, in almost every instance, and, in
in numerous cases, wholly to pass over the claims of highly respect-
able and influential parties to whom they would have willingly made
allotments, had the number of shares at their disposal enabled them
so to do. They !rust, therefore, that those applicants whose expec-
tations may have been disappointed will accept this explanation as a
sufficient apology ; and as applications for shares still continue to
arrive, the Committee are constrained to repeat their former notice,
that it is altogether out of their powe r entertain them. •

At a MEETING of the INHABITANTS of the TOWN- and
NEIGHBOURHOOD of LE DBURY, convened by the Great Eastern
and Western Railway Company, held at the Feathers Hotel, Ledbury,
this day, at which meeting a deputation from the Worcester and
South Wales Junction Railway Company attended.
ROBERT BIDDULPH, Esq., having been unanimously called to
the Chair,
It was moved by Captain JONES, and seconded by the Rev.
JOSEPH HIGGINS,
"That it is the opinion of this meeting that the line projected by
the Worcester and South Wales Junction Railway Company will be
the most beneficial to the town and neighbourhood of Ledbury, in-
asmuch as it will perfect a direct main trunk line of railway
from South Wales (embrac ng the ports of Swansea, Cardiff, and
Newport), to Ledbury, Worcester, South Staffordshire, Birmingham,
and the North."
Amendment moved by JAMES MARTIN, Esq., and seconded by the
Rev. J. 'UNDERWOOD,
" That it is the opinion of this meeting that it is not yet in pos-
session of sufficient information to enable it to decide on the merits
of the respective lines."
The amendment was first put and negatived, and the original re-
solution was carried by acclamation.
The Chairman having vacated the Chair,
It was moved by THOMAS. FRANCE, Esq., of Marley-hall, and se-
conded by CHARLES G. JONES, Esq.,
" That the best thanks of the meeting be given to Robert Biddulph,
Esq., for his impartial conduct in the chair," which was carried
unanimously. •

This railway will proceed from York to Lancaster (about 72 miles)
by the most direct practicable route, and pass 'fear Knareeborough,
Harrowgate, Long Preston, Settle, and many other important places.
The counties of York and Lancaster comprise a population of
3,500,000 persons, and are, perhaps, the most wealthy and populous
divisions of the kingdom. The roads bAween York and Lancaster
are moatly carried over the tops of hills, and, in winter, are nearly
impassable ; this line will pass along the valleys, and the ourney,
now rarely made, by coach, within twelve hours, may be pe jformed,
on the railway, in two hours and a half.
It will provide facilities of access to all the great manufacturing,
mining, and agricultural districts of the north of England, to the Isle
of Man, Ireland, Scotland,
,and Wales; to namburgh, by connecting
Morecombe Bay and Fleetwood Harboui on the west coast with the
port of Hull on the east coast ; to the lakes of Westmoreland and
Cumberland; to Harrowgate, celebrated for its unrivalled sulphur,
mineral, and chalybeate springs ; and to the important intermediate
districts between York and Lancaster, which abound with valuable
minerals, and raise vast quantities of live stock and agricultural pro-
duce: Many places near the intended course of the lino aro known
to possess inexhaustible supplies of leal, iron, slate, limestone, free-
stone;and other useful minerals, but these are' now comparatively
unavailing, from the great cost of coals and carriage. The railway
will rapidly develop these sources of prosperity, by intmiucing coals at
a low price, and • providing cheap carriage for mineral produce of
every kind; it will also furnish a most desirable means of transit for
passengers and merchandise to and from every part of the king-
dom, and a cheap conveyance for immense quantities of live stock
and agricultural produce from the rural to the manufacturing
and mining districts. Many completed and projected railways will
intersect this line, and greatly facilitate traffic and intercourse in
every.direction. With the Directors of these railways, and of various
others which hare a station at York or Lancaster, the Committee
will endeavour to make arrangements likely to prove mutually bene-
ficial, and they have much , pleasure in stating that the landowners
along the line are extremely favourable to the undertaking, and con-
sider it will • materially augment the value of their possessions and
prove advantageous to the country and the shareholders.
It has been fully ascertained that the proposed line presents but
few engineering difficulties, and that, although it will pass through
some very hilly districts, it may be constructed along valleys, and
with favourable gradient's throughout nearly its entire course. The
liability of the shareholders will be restricted by Act of Parliament
to the amount of their subcriptions, and power will be applied for
in the Bill to allow interests at four per cent. per annum on all calls,
from the passing of the Act to the opening of the line.

(COMPAGNIE SEBASTIANI.)
REPORT TO THE ENGLISH SUBSCRIBERS.
GENTLEstax,--We regret our not being able to report that we have
succeeded in our efforts to obtain for you the objects of our Associa-
tion ; our best energies have been devoted to the subject, but from
the altered state of the circumstances which has now arisen, our
Company, as at present constituted, is not in a position to compete
for the Lease.
At the time our Company was formed, it was understood that the
Government would provide the land for the line and stations, and
possibly would undertake the earthworks. The capital we then
proposed (60 millions of francs), was considered sufficient to provide
all that the Company, under that state of circumstances, would have
required ; but after much doubt and delay, the Government have at
length determined that their lessees should undertake the purchase of
the land, as well as the entire construction and working of the Rail-
way. The Bill has now passed the Chambers in that form, and has
fixed the Capital at 80 millions (irrespective of the Grenoble
Branch).
Having, as we interpret our engagement to the Subscribers,
neither power to undertake on their behalf the purchase of land, nor
adequate funds for that larger purpose, we are under the necessity of
announcing the dissolution of the present Subscription, and we have
accordingly only ffirther on this head to inform you, that we now
hold the deposits subject to the order of the several Subscribers, and
ready to be imme!.:iately returned in exchange for the letters of allot-
ment and banker's receipts.
We would now invite your attention to the copy of the
statutes, which have been framed and adopted for the regulation of
a Aew Company for making and working the proposed line. You
will observe, that it is mainly under the same direction, and in many
respects of the same character as that which we originally proposed.
The capital is necessarily larger, and the powers vested in those who
have the conduct of the undertaking of a much more gen ral chanc-
ter. We desire to refer you in particular to articles 4-22-23--
24-28-56.
We are empowered to offer to each Shareholder in the former
Company who shall, on or before the 20th of September next, and
in the manner we are about to mention, declare his option toaccept
them, the same number of Shares in the new Company as hea hold
in the original Company, with or without one additional Shar
the
e in
respect of every five original Shares, and in order to factitate
necessary arrangements, we have prepared such forms as willemble
the Subscribers to express their wishes with amvenietreet, City nce.
ready, and may be applied for at 62, King William-s); bee
Eleven o'clock, A.m. and Three o'clock r.si.
We beg to add, that in the event of receiving at this office no com-

The Committee of Management beg to inform those parties who
have applied for Shares in this undertaking that the allotment is now
completed, and that the letters of allotment will be issued on Saturday
next, the 61h instant. They regret that, in consequence of the
numerous applications, more delay has taken place than was at first
anticipated. All applicants not receiving letters of allotment must
not consider that their applications were overlooked, but that the
great demand for Shares over and above the number to be allotted
necessarily prevented their being granted.
The Committee are happy to be able to inform their Subscribers
that nearly the whole of the landowners along the line have promised
their support, and that they have also secured the co-operation of
many influential local gentlemen.
These advantages, coupled with the intrinsic merits of the under-
taking, lead the Committee confidently to anticipate a successful
result to their application to Parliament next session. The surveys
are being proceeded with, and all the requisite measures are being
taken flar a due compliance with the standing orders.

PROSPECTUS.
The principle of tills important railway scheme is an extension of
the North Staffordshire Railway, from Uttoxeter southward, through
Burton-upon-Trent, by Swadlingeote, Gresley, and Moira, to Ashby-
de-la-Zouch, Market-Bosworth, and Hinckley, uniting, in the direc-
tion of Leicester, with the proposed Leicester and Bedford, and
South Midland Railways, and south of Hinckley, with the Midland
Railway at or near Ullesthorpe. The main objects of the scheme
are

_ To secure the best practicable direct lino from London to Man-
chester and Liverpool.
2. To provide the best and most complete railway communication
for the important mining, manufacturing, commercial, and landed in-
terests of the extensive district yet untraversed by railways, which
lies between Uttoxeter on the north and Leicester on the south.
The line of the proposed railway takes the most direct praticable
route from Manchester to a point near Hinckley, from which it opens
two communications with London—one by the. Midland Railway to
Rug,,y, and thence by the London and Birmingham Railway—the
other by the Leicester and Bedford, or South Midland Railway,
through Market Harborough to Pedford and Ilitchin, and thence by
the London and York Railway. Thus combining the advantage,
never before attempted, of the most direct route, with the choice of
two approaches to London—a result attained by the promotion rather
than the sacrifice or injury of any existing railway interest.
In this scheme the public interest has been the sole consideration,
and it is confidently expected that public support will follow.
In the adaptation of this scheme to the local interests of the dis-
trict, for the first time opened by it, the same principle has been the
guide.
It opens fairly and fully the great coal-fields of Moira, Swadling-
cote, and Swannington. It traverses the pottery districts of Swad-
illlgeOtO, Newhall, Gresley, and the neighbourhood; it provides
most ample accommodation for the increased and rapidly-increasing
trading and manufacturing interests of Leicester and Burton-upon
Trent, and their neighbourhoods. It approaches as near as practi-
cable to every town in the district of Hinckley, Market-Bosworth,
Ashby-de-la-Zouch (with its celebrated baths), Burton, and Tutbury.
It interferes with no residential or ornamental property, and the
support of many of the most influential landholders is already secured

in its favour.
The " Midland Union" also connects itself with the Leicester and
Birmingham, and Boston, Stamford, and Birmingham Railways, and
by this connexion opens the most direct and complete eastern and
western communication yet projected.
By means of the Boston, Stamford, and Birmingham Railway,
and the various other Railways in East Anglia, an easy and direct
communication is opened between Burton-upon-Trent, and the corn-
producing counties of Lincolnshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk.
By means of the Coventry Branch of the Leicester and Birming-
ham Railway, and the direct access to Rugby, secured by the pro-
posed junction with the Midland Railway, the most advantageous op-
portunities are afforded to the Moira, Swadlingeote, and other Collieries
of the district, for sending coals to Leamington, Warwick, and the
southern markets.
' By means of the short diverging Line to the Trent Valley Railway,
at Atherstone, the communication between Leicester and Tamworth
is fully provided for.
Upon a careful examination of the details of this scheme., to which
public attention is earnestly invited, its advantages will be found to
be such as not only to supersede the necessity of a direct indepen-
dent Line from London to Manchester, but to secure to-the important
local interests of the district traversed by it more complete and be-
neficial accommodation than any direct and independent line could,
by reason of its more extended objects and interests, afford to give.
Forms of Application for Shares, copies of the Prospectus, and a
Map of the Line may be obtained from S. S. Baxter, Esq., Solicitor,
Atherstone, and at 41, Chaucery-lane, London ; from the Local Soli-
