The wonder would be that the proposed line had not been esta-
blish .d long before, were it not for one very obvious aid very poten-
tial reason to which it is owing that this rich district has hitherto
been suffered to remain destitute of railway accommodation. The
district has been up to this time deprived of the benefits of railway
means of transit because it was one of the richest farms of the
Birmingham Canal Company ; and it is to overcome the depressing
Influence of such a destitution that the present plan has been pro-
jected.
inte intended line will not interfere with any existing line of
railway,, but it will materially extend the usefulness of the several
lines about to be connected with Dudley, and in particular that
gre it miaing district truna line, the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver
14.Inpton Railway, as also the Shrewsbury and South Staffordshire
janction ; besides, it will afford to the populous districts around
Dudley and Birmingham the direct benefits of 'fair and liberal corn-
petition in passenger conveyance and in the transit of their industrial
products to their principal market. .
The number of omnibuses, coaches, and swift canal packet-boats--.
continually travelling.betweeir the termini,- afford • the strongest as
snrance of the prospect of a large passenger traffic : while the bulky
nature and vast extent of the mining and .minufacturing produce of
this well-known district equally vouch Inc that in • goods ; and the
whole leaves no doubt but that the financial returns of such an un-
dertaking must yield an ample remuneration for the capital ex-
pended.
In an engineering point of view, it has been ascertained, by careful
slirveys, that the line is highly favourable, and presents not the
slightest difficulty;-so fhat altogether there is probably no line of rail
Way now before the public so much entitled in every way to the
favourable consideration of the parties locally interested, or of
capitalists in general. The former have already evinced the warmest
interest in the proposed line ; and indeed it is manly owing to
Urgent local suggestions that the projected railway has been under-
taken.

No further call (beyond the deposit) will be made until the Act
shall be obtained ; and power will be applied for in such Act to
allow interest at four per cent. per annum on the deposits and
calls frcm the date -of each payment until the opening of the line.
An influential Provisional Committee will be published in a
le w days.

PROSPECTUS.

This line will pass in a direct course from Tunbridge, ♦ia Paddock
Wood (thus connecting itself with Maidstone) through the parishes
of Brenchley, llorsinonden, Goudhurst, Cranbrook, Benenden,
llawkhurst, Sandhurst, Rolvenden, Newenden, Northiam, Peas-
match, Beckley, Iden, and Hayden, to the town and harbour of
Rye, and it will embrace a lar: e extent of adjacent country, at pre
sent unprovided with, and much requiring, the admitted advantages
of railway transit. . .

The length of the line will he about 23 miles—a great portion of it
will pass through a level country, and the remaining part is free front
any material engineering difficulty, or works likely to require any
serious outlay, and it is not expected to be necessary to interfere with
any residences cr ornamental property.
The saving of distance to Rye, and all the other places embraced
by this line,will be considerable.
The capital required is estimated not to exceed 500,0001.
During the last session of Parliament apOication was made for a
similar line, partially embracing the same country, when it was
shown in detail by evidence produced before the Committee, that the
contemplated traffic, atter dericting 4W. per cent. for working ex-
pcaises, would leave a large per centago upon the invested capital.
That line was rejected on the ground that the best direction had not
been selected, but with an intimation that the port of Rye was en-
titled to a direct railway communication with the interior of the
ceentry, in the best direction towards London. The present scheme
has teen based upon this intimation, taking advantage of the merits
and defects which appeared upon that investigation, and as it em-
braces a more populous and productive country, and passes in a more
direct line to London, and will have the benefit of better access to
other and more numerous lines, the sources of traffic are consider-
ably increased, and there is every reason to believe, from what passed
during the last session, that the present plait will be favourably enter-
tained by the Legislature;

The chief object is to open the port of Rye to the full benefit of a
railway communication, through a populous and productive district,
in the direction of London, to the best point at which it can avail itself
of the existing and contemplated lines.
The imports of Rye, particularly coals, with lime and. other ma-
nures, are of great importance to the country through which this I:ne
will pass, and a cheaper and better mode of transit will much Increase
the demand for them, and give the opportunity of great improvement
in the cultivation of the adjacent country.
A railway through the heart of the chief hop district of the king-
dom, also producing corn, timber, and hop poke, and communicating
at its terminus with a great part of the important cattle district of
Romney Marsh, must be a public advantage.
The port of Rye is admitted to be the best outlet and quickest route
to Paris and to other parts of the Continent, and there can be no doubt
if a direct railway should be made to Rye, with a moderate improve-
ment in the harbour, that it would be much adopted, particularly as
a national and commercial communication with France, and by per-
sons travelling on business.

• C.ARMARTHEN JUNCTION MINERAL RAILWAY AND
HARBOUR IMPROVEMENT COMPANY.
The object of this undertaking is to form a direct communication
between the important town of Carmarthen and the rich mineral dis-
tricts in the south and east of the county, and to improve the nariga-
gation of the river Towy by erecting a dock or shipping-place at or
near Carmarthen.

The projected line will join the South Wales, Welsh Midland, and
Great North and South Wales Railways at Carmarthen, and will be
connected with the branch of the Llanelly Railway already con-
structed to the Cross Hands on the Great Mountain. It will thus
unite several important railways, and afford ready means of supply-
ing coal and lime to very extensive districts, the costs of conveying
which will he less than the toll payable on the present roads.
The southern terminus of the Great North and South Wales Rail-
way is'at Carmarthen. and no provision is made by the promoters for
any communication by it with the coal and lime fields. These pro-
ducts, before they are conveyed from Carmarthen, must first be
brought to that town.

The South Wales and W-lsh Midland Railways describe a consider-
able circuit in communicating with the heart of the mineral dlstrkts.
The distance from Carmarthen by each of these lines to the Great
Mountain will be about twenty-five miles ; the distance by the line
now proposed will not exceed twelve. It is therefore evident that
the immense traffic in coal and lime between Carmarthen and the
mineral districts must be carried on by the intended railway. A
branch from Carmarthen to the Towy at Blackpool will be about
two miles long, and another branch in the Gwendraeth Vale will be
the same length ; thus making the whole length of the proposed rail-
way sixteen miles. The line will follow the Vale of Towy as far as
Cappeldewy, and then diverge, by way of Porthyrhyd and the Man-
sell's Arms, to the coal districts.

In consequence of the peculiar features of the country, the pro-
posed line can meet with opposition from no other scheme, as the
bold chain of hills running from east to west to the south of the
Towy are quite impraCticable at all other points between Llandilo
and the sea, a distance of twenty-five miles. This line will follow
the only valley intersecting the hills, which presents the most striking
facilities for constructing a railway a'ong it, as none of the gradients
will exceed 1 in 100, and there will he no occasion for any tunnelling.
The cppital required to construct a railway and to effect the im-
provement of the river will be 140,0001.

Calculations have been made of the tonnage carried along the pre-
sent roasts, and an ample remuneration for the capital invested would
be secured even without increased trams.
The South Wales, Welsh Midland, and Great North and South
Wales Railways radiate from Carmarthen to the west, north, and
east of the county ; and the latter line will open communication with
the whole of Cardiganshire. All these extensive districts are now
mainly supplied with coal and lime from the vicinity of Carmarthen.
The traffic in these staple commodities is at present very consider-
able: as many as 1,000 tons of lime have passed in one day through
a single gate on one of the great thoroughfares into Carmarthen.
With the facility of conveyance afforded by railways, added to the
large extent of country which will be opened by means of the lines
alluded to, this traffic will be immensely increased.

The project was first mooted about ten years ago. A meeting was
held at Carmarthen, attended by a large and influential body of
gentry, landowners, and merchants. Resolutions were then unani-
mously adopted anproving of the scheme, pointing out its advantage-
to the country and its value as a safe investment. Surveys of the
line were afterwards made, which proved that the gradients were
easy, and that the country was free from engineering difficulties.
Some objections, however, arose, which led to the temporary aban-
donment of the undertaking ; these difficulties cainot again occur. A
large body of influential persons have already signified their appro.
bation of the scheme. It will meet with the strenuous support of all
the mineral interests in the localities referred to ; and the authori-
ties, merchants, and influential residents of Carmarthen, will afford
every support to carry out an undertaking so beneficial to the inte-
rests of the town and neighbourhood.
The Earl of Cawdor and the other principal landowners on the pro-
wed line have been consulted, and their consents and approbation
have been obtained.
The corporation of Carmarthen has just had a carettil survey of
the river made, with a view of effecting the improvements in its na-
vigation now proposed ; and the engineer employed has prepared an
able report and supplied an estimate of the expense. It appears suf-
ficiently evident that, with the outlay 'of a comparatively small sum
of money, Carmarthen may be rendered a safe port, easily accessible
to ships of very considerable tonnage, even at neap tides.
The great depth of water in Black Pool at ebb tide (24 feet) sup-
plies all the requisites of a wet dock. A railway from the town to
that place or a cut to avoid the intermediate shoals and sinuosities
will remove all difficulty to the navigation of the river, and with
either of these facilities a very large export trade will be insured in
coal and other produce of the country. In effecting these improve-
ments due regard will in every instance be paid to the interests and
wishes of the town. Should it be considered preferable to improve
the course of the river, the necessity for constructing the branch
railway to Black Pool will be obviated, and the consequent outlay
saved.
Extensive ironworks are now at work in the Gwendraeth Vale,
and others on a large scale are about to be erected in the Vale of
Ammon. The stores of coal and lime are inexhaustible : several
important collieries have been lately owed, and are now ready to
pour their teeming wealth into the market, but a want of commu-
nication with the distant districts of this and the adjoining counties
prevents the proprietors reaping the fruit of their enterprise. The
line now proposed, forming a junction at Carmarthen with the three
great trunk lines, will afford the accommodation so much desired
Preparations have been made so as to insure compliance with the
standing orders in time to apply for an Act in the ensuing Session.
The course to be adopted will depend upon the report of the Govern-
ment Commissioners.
In order that every attention may be secured to local interests,
arrangements are now being made to ndd the names of other gentle-
men of property in the *minty to the provisional committee.l
The liability of the shareholders until the act is obtained will be
limited to the amount of deposits, and after incorporation to the
amount of their subscriptions.
Power will be taken in the Bill to allow interest at 41. per cent. per
annum on all Deposits and Calls front the time of payment until the
opening, of the Enc.

Prospectuses and Plans may be obtained from, and applications for
Shares to be made to the Solicitors mut Secretary, and the follow-

The proposed railway is intended to commence on the Trent
"alley Railway near Stafford, and proceeding thence in 'an easterly
lirection, to pass through, or near to, Tixall, Haywood, Colwich, and
Abbott's Bromley, to the rapidly-increasing town of Burton-upon-
Trent, where It will run into the Birmingham and Derby Railway,
forming the shortest and best practicable route from Stafford to
Derby. Leaving the Birmingham and Derby Railway at Burton-
upon-Trent, it will proceed along the valley of the Trent by Repton,
Swarkestone, and Shardlow, to the Midland Counties Railway at the
point where that railway forms ajunction with the Derby and Not-
tingham Railway ; and thus, by means of these and other railways
in progress, forma complete line of railway communication between
the central towns of Stafford, Derby, Nottingham, Lincoln, Leices-
ter, Peterborough, and Boston, on the east, and Shrewsbury, Ches-
ter, and Holyhead, North Wales, and Ireland, on the west,
This railway will, therefore, form the only connecting link re-
quired in the great chain of railway communication from east and
west through the heart of the kingdom, uniting the shbrce of the
German Ocean on the east With those of the Irish Sea on the west, and
traversing in its course the rich agricultural districts of the eastern,
midland, and western counties, and accommodating the important, and
populous manufacturing towns of Stafford, Derby-, Nottingham, Lei-
cester, and Shrewsbury. But another most important advantage
that will result from the formation of this line will consist in the
fact of its affording, in connexion with the proposed South Union, or
Manchester and Potteries Railway, by far the shortest and best
route between Derby, Nottingham, Newark, Lincoln, Peterborough,
Leicester, and Loughborough, and the extensive and populous dis-
tricts of the Staffordshire ' Potteries, Macclesfield, Stockport, and
Manchester. By the proposed line the distance between Nottingham
and Derby and Manchester will he at least from 15 to 20 miles les♦
than by the present circuitous route by Sheffield.

The trafile"on this line must necessarily be equal, if not superlot,
to that of any line in the district.

The length of the line will be about 33 miles, through a country
presenting no difficulties of more than an ordinary kind for its con-
struction.

The capital proposed to be raised is 600,0001., in shares of 201.
each, upon which a deposit of 21. 2s. per share must be paid upon the
allotment. No call will be made until the Act is obtained, and no
subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of his deposit until the
Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription;
and the usual power will be taken to allow interest at four per cent.
from the time of payment upon each call until the opening of the
line.

The Subscribers' Agreement and the Parliamentary Contract must
be executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip cer-
tificates, of which 14 (lays' notice will be given ; and the deposits
paid by any party making default in the execution of those deeds will
be forfeited.

PROSPECTUS.
Commencing at Cambridge, which has now become the traTic-
centre of the Eastern Counties, by the line of railway intended to be
fanned by that Company, this line will proceed to Bedford, there
passing near Olney it will cross at or rear the Blisworth Station 01 the
London and Birmingham Railway, where it will communicate with
the Northampton and Pete; borough line; it will then pro..eed west-
ward. crossing the Oxford and Rugby line at or near Fenby-Compton
to Stratford-on-Aron, there joining the proposed line from Warwick
and Leamington to Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the West of
England ; continuing its course through Alcester, the Rile will go di-
rect to Worcester, and thus terminate at the great centre of traffic
for the mineral and manufactaring districts of South Staffordshire,
stiropshire, and North and South Wales. This proposed lino tiara
not interfere with any existing railways, and presenting, as it does,
an unbroken line between two great centres of traffic, the importance
of the undertaking needs no further comment.
Negotiations have been entered into with the Eastern Coun-
ties Railway Company, by which their support and co-operation will
bt ensured for obtaining the line now proposed.
An arrangement has also been made with the proposed Rugby,
Warwick, and Worcester Company, which this line will join at Al-
cester, and by means of which the Eastern Counties' traffic will pro-
ceed to Worcester.

Power will be reserved to the Directors to amalgamate with any
other existing or projecting Companies, or to vary the line.

lowing Sharebrokers, of whom prospectuses, with mass of the line.
