It is proposed by this Company to establish a direct line of commu-
nication between Birmingham, Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hull,
at the smallest outlay of capital, and with the least possible injury to
existing interests. To effect this object, use will be made of existing
or projected lines, as far as practicable, and the chain of communica-
tion will be completed by throwing out new lines, where requisite.
Commencing at Birmingham, it is proposed to use the Birmingham

Castle Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid-
land Counties Railway
The communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will be
carried corward as far as Gainsborough, either by the proposed Not-
tingham and Gainsborough Railway, or by a line springing out o; the
line from Nottingham to Lincoln. for which an Act was obtained by
the Midland Counties Company Curing the last session of Parliament.
From Gainsborough this railway wilt proceed to Barton-on-the-
Humber, or New Holland, in the immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby
rendering complete and entire the chain of communication between
Birmingham and Hull.
By this project the advantages will result to the public of a
Direct lino from Birmingham to Nottingham,
• Birmingham to Gainsborough,
and from Birmingham to Hull;
and by means of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Railway,
and the intended extension to Ashby-de-la-Zouch, a direct line from
Wolverhampton to Nottingham, and the other towns already enu-
merated.
The support of several companies will be enlisted in favour of the
lice. which, together with its own merits, will ensure its success iu
Parliament.
As a considerable portion of the line of communication is already
made, or in progress, the time required for the completion of this
great national undertaking will be materially shortened.
Independently of the advantages to be derived by a direct commu-
nication between the important seaport of Hull and the mining an I
manufacturing districts of Warwickshire and Staffordshire, a large
traffic in timber, corn, metals, &c., may be confidently expecte.
The revenue of the Commie-, in addition, will be derived from the
great thorough traffic from Birmingham and the midland counties to
Nottingham and Gainsborough, and the immense traffic from Bir-
minghern to Hull, thc'port at which the exports are shipped to Ham-
burgh, the German States, and the North of Europe ; and from the
conveyance of merchandise, aericultnral produce, and cattle from the
Southern, western, and midland counties.
A preference will be given in the allotment of shares to landowners
on the line, and other local proprietors, as well as to directors and
shareholders in railways interested in supporting this undertaking.
'No subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of the deposit
until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his
subscription.
The usual power well be taken to allow interest at the rate of four
per cent. from the time of payment upon each call until the opening
, of the line.
No applications will be attended to without a reference to a
member of the Committee, a banker' or the solicitors to this Company.
The Subscribe s' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must lie
xecuted when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip certifi-
t atm of which clue notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by

This railway Is proposed to commence at Uxbridge, proceeding
thence to the Southall station of the Great Western Railway, and
then through Heston to llouuslow, there meeting one of the proposed
lines to Hounslow from London. Leaving Hounslow the line pro•
ceeds through Whitton, Twickenham, Teddington, and Hampton,
to Kingston, and, crossing the Thames, joins the Kingsto n station of
the South-Western Railway, Whence it will proceed to, and terminate
at ,Epsom.
The towns and places through which the line passes, or most imnte-
diately affects,
contain an aggregate population of about 200,000
persons.
To the Inhabitants of the important town of Uxbridge, this line
Presents the most direct communication with the metropolis, adopt-
big the old course taken by the coaches, viz., through 11111 ngd on,
Hayes, Southall, &c., contrasting favourably with the present cir-
cuitous route to London, by coach or omnibus to West Drayton, amid
thence by the Great Western Railway. With the present limited
railway accommodation, the corn returns of Uxbridge show au hi-
crease of 30 per cent. upon the average of the last two years. _
The weekly market at Southall is second in importance to c•mith•
-
field, and It is attended by the graziers and butchers from all parts of
the neighbouring country end the metropolis.
By means of this line, and one .of the proposed lines from London
to Hounslow, which this will intersect, Brentford, the county-town
of Middlesex,
and the Thames, will be brought into immediate con-
nexion with Uxbridge ; the traffic between the last-named towns has
• '
hitherto materially helped to produce the large dividends of the Grand
Junction Canal.
By means also of this line, and the Croydon and Epsem line (now
in course of construction), all the before-mentioned towns and places
are likewise connected with Croydon. and
The importance of connecting two such towns as Uxbridge
Brentford with Kingston, Croydon, and Epsom, three of the largest
market-towns in Surrey, between which the present agricultautratilietralfl.
is extensive, is too obvious to require comment. A glance mip

The average number of persons visiting Hampton-court in the
summer months amounts to about 18,000 per week.
The supply by the (Kenny or Kent awl western division of Middle-
sex of the north and north-western markets with fruit during the
season, would, by this line, be immensely increased, and form another
source of income to the Company.
This undertaking presents the additional and important advantage
of competing with no line at present established ; on the contrary,
it will be the means of connecting and feeding the several lines enu-
merated, and several others that are projected ; and the engineer
reports that it passes over a particularly easy country, and will be
capable of construction at about 16,001/. per mile ; amid the land-
owners on the line who have been seen, are favourable to the un-
dertaking.
The length of the lice will be about 18 miles.

Tilts railway is projected to fo.m a sect communication between
Brighton and Tolibridge Wells. It will commence at a point of
junction with the Brighton and Lewes Railway at the town of
Lewes, and proceeding by the Valley of the Ouse, pass by Uckfleld
and Rothertield, thence following the valley to Groombridge, proceed
to Tonbrhige Wells, and there form a junction with the Tonbridge
Wells branch of the South-Eastern Railway.
Tile length of the line will be about twenty-two miles. The neces-
sity and advantages of this line of railway are selt-evitient—it will
connect Brighton immediately with the populous and fa.shionable
neighbourhood of -Tonbridge Well 4, and more mediately it will con-
nect Southampton, Portsmouth. Chichester, and the ports of the
western coast of Sussex, with the important towns of Maidstone,
Chatham, Rochester, Canterbury, and Dover; thus effecting the
greatly desired object of the shortest and moat rapid communication
between Dover and Southampton. The internal communication
between Kent and Sussex will be thus ren.lered complete.
Tile following towns and populous villages are in constant trading
communication with Lewes and Brighton, and will be accommodated
by this line :—Barcombe, Ringiner, lathed, Little Horsted, Uckfield
Maresfleld, Framptleld, East lloathly, Mayfield, Withyham,Wadhurst,
Newhaven, and Ilarbour, Waldron, Flctching, Buxted, Rotherfield,
Lamberhurst, Frant, Tiechurst, Groombridge, Hartfield, Ashurst.
The existing local With will thus be alone sufficient to prove
highly remunerative, exclusive of the great passenger and goods
traffic that must of necessity flow into this course as soon as the ne-
cessary accommodation is afforded. Detailed traffic tables are in
course of preparation. The preliminary surveys have been com-
pleted, and no difficulties, engineering or otherwise, present them-
selyes, but, on the contrary, tills railway will be of facile construc-
tion, and easy gradients.
The landowners generally are favourable to this line, to which
they have pledged their support.
