This project is wholly in dependent of any other Use already before the publie, and as it pos sesses national advantages which none can surpass, must, when carried out, become, without exception, the most important railway in Great Britain. One of the first objects of this Company will he to obtain a mcst central and accessible terminus in London, and Farringdon-street has been fixed upon for that purpose. It is proposed to make a tunnel from that point to the Great West ern station, from whence the line will be continued in as direct a course as possible to llolyhead. In its progress it will pass through or near to the following towns : Rlckmansworth, Chesham, Wendover, and Aylesbury ; it will then proceed to within a short distance of Bleat ter itml.Deddington, and from thence to Banbury ; it will touch upon Kineton or Kingtown, thence proceed onwards to Stratford-on• Avon, approach within a short distance from Warwick, Alcester, and Worcester, where it will cross the Birmingham and Gloucester Railroad near to Bromsgrove, and proceeding thence to Kids'erminster, Rridgnorth, and Wenlock, near to Broseley and Coalbrookdale, will enter the vale of the Severn, which it will traverse to Shrewsbury ; it will thence continue its route up the course of the Severn, and passing into the vale of the river Vyrnwy, will proceed to Llan-y-mynech, Llanrhaladr, and Mochnant, accommodating Welchpool, Oswestry, and Llangollen. At this point there are three passes, which have been inspected, and it remains for the Engineer to select one as an entrance or passage into the vale of the river Dec, when the line will proceed round by Corwin into the vale of the river Alwen, from whence it will runt nearly pa,,allel with the great Holyhead mail-coach road, by Pentre voelas to Capel Cerrig, it will then descend the vale of Nant Francon to Bangor and Hothead. This line will in its progress feed, and be also fed by the most considerable railroads of the kingdom, particularly those of the Great Western ; the Birmingham, Gloucester, and Bristol ; the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton; the London and Birmingham; and the South Staffordshire Railway. As this last line will connect Dudley, hllston, Wednesbury, Walsall, and Litchfield with the Derby Railway and the Grand Junction Railway, (see the accom panying snap), it would be superfluous to expatiate on the advan tages et bringing all these most important centres of the coal and iron trade and other traffic, and the vast coal and iron fields of Shropshire, into close intercourse, and thus establishing the cheapest and quickest means of transit between the minerals of Shropshire and the furnaces of Staffordshire, and the markets of Dublin, London, and Birmingham. The success of the un dertaking is secured beyond a doubt, by the obvious fact that it will not only bring he richest mineral and manufacturing portions of England much nearer to the two capitals, but It will open for the carriage of the valuable produce of these districts the intermediate country not at present possessed of any direct line of railway communication. On the other hand, the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Railway will give to London and the neighbourhood of Birmingham a route to Dublin shorter by nearly seventy miles than that of any other existing rail road; and finally, enable travellers to complete the entire distance in tell hours. It will also ensure two mail deliveries in the day. Up to the point where the line approaches Corwen, no engineering difficulties are presented. At Corwen a deviation from the straight line may by requisite to avoid tunnelling, after which a straight line will be resumed to Bangor, where that already in construction will be adopted for the rest of the route to Holyhead ; or, If found, de sirable, power will be taken in the Bill to continue an independent line by Beaumaris to Holyhead. After a careful investigation of the traffic arising from passengers, the conveyance of mineral and agricultural produce, and the direct transmission of the mails, the Directors feel warranted in anticipating a return of at least 10 per cent.% the capital invested. _ _ A treaty is in progress with a Steam Navigation Company to run powerful steamers between the harbours of Holyhead and Kingston on the arrival of the trains, so that passengers and merchandise may be booked throughout, from London to Dnblin, including all the inter mediate stations, and he thus enabled to complete the entire distance in ten honrs, without the inconvenience so painfully felt, of changing from the conveyance of one proprietary to that of another. The Railways now in active progress in Ireland, running from Dublin, north and south throughout the heart of the island, render it self evident that the chain of communication between the sister coun tries Is, by this present undertaking, rendered at once complete and intimate to the last degree. As the leading aim of this company is to save time and distance, every attention of the Directors, and every advancement in science, will be made avail able to gain the utmost possible amount of speed, compatible with safety, the lines being formed expressly for this end ' • while, finally, the very lowest rate of fares will be adopted for both passengers and traffic, and the public will find in the improvement of the interior carriages, and some additional comforts for those of the first-class, that the Grand London and Dnblin Approximation Railway will be placed in advance of any other now existing, and In all its details will be rendered worthy an enterprise so national in its character. Application will be made for a Bill to incorporate the Company early in the next session. The usual power will he taken by the Act to allow interest at 4/. per cent. per annum on the amount of the subscriptions paid up ; and no subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription.

The vales of the Ogwr or Ogmore Fawr, and of the Garw, lying near and nearly parallel to each other, abound in minerals of the most valuable description, but owing to their secluded situation, and, above all, to the want of a cheap and easy communication with the sea, have been hitherto wholly neglected. In order to supply this deficiency, and to open to the various markets the vast resources which these valleys afford, the above connecting lines of railway have been projected, and by them com munication with the port of Cardiff, Port Talbot, Porthcawl, and every other port in the Bristol Channel, will be effected. The length of the main line of this railway will be about IS miles, and the branches up the three valleys will be 16 miles in addition, making in the whole about 34 miles. The branches will commence from Rlaenogwr, In the vale of Ogwr Fawr, from Blaenogwr, in that of the Gawr, from Blaenogwr, in the vale of the Ogwr, and will concentrate at Bryn Cethin ; from thence the main line formed by thisjunctionwill pass by Llanharren, and join the South Wales Railway near to the port of Cardiff. The whole district of country thnugla which the lines will pass has already been surveyed by highly competent parties, and affords gra dients and levels of the most favourable kind. No heavy cutting, expensive bridges, or embankments, will be required, so that the cheap execution of the proposed lines is perfectly certain. There is on the spot abundance of materials for the proper execution of the works. The project is supported by powerful local interests, and all the landowners who have yet been consulted have given their sanc tion and approval. The rising town of Bridgend and its neighbourhood must necessa rily be greatly benefited by the completion of this undertaking, and a cheap and ready market be afforded for all their manufacturing and agricultural produce. It is intended to form a junction with the South Wales Railway near that town. The vales present sites for ironworks ; and the establishment of colleries on a large scale will Immediately succeed the formation of the road. Twenty-five miles of this railway will pass through pro perty abounding in coal, ironstone, blackband, and limestone, all which products have not at present any means of transit to any mar ket whatever. It Is confidently anticipated that the investments in this under taking will give a handsome return to the shareholders. No subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of his deposit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his sub scription. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained the affairs of this Company shall be under the control of the Managing Committee, to whom power is given to allot the shares, and to apply the funds of the Company in payment of all the expenses incurred In its forma tion, and in the preparation of the plans and sections to be submitted to Parliament. Power will be applied for in the Act to raise any additional capi tal, to extend or abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, or enter into any arrangements, by amalgamation or otherwise, with any otht r Company ; and power is hereby given to the regis tered promoters to nominate the Managing Committee of the Company. In the allotment of shares a preference will be given to landowners on the line, and to other parties locally interested.

The proposed railway will commence at Rugby, on the London and Birmingham Railway, the terminus of the Midland Counties and Trent Valley Railways, and the paint to which several other projected railways converge, and will proceed through er near to Leamington, Warwick, Stratford-on-Avon, Evesham, Tewkesbury, and Cheltenham, to Gloucester. The length of the line will be about 56 miles. The advantages that will result from the construction of this line are numerous and highly important, and such as cannot fail to secure a very large amount of local and through traffic, and a highly-re munerative return upon the capital invested. By means of existing and proposed railways, it will form a complete chain of railway com munication between the whole of sea midland and north-eastern counties ofEngland, the populous citi nd towns before-named, and the southern aad western districts, and thus bring Leicester Not tingham, Newark, Lincoln , G ainsborou g h, Great Grimsb y , and Hull, into direct communication with the favourite and fashionable spas of Leamington and Cheltenham, the richly-productive and far-famed Vale of Evesham, and the seaports of Gloucester, Bristol, Plymouth, and Falmouth, and those of South Wales. The inhabitants and visitors of the much-frequented watering places of Leamington and Cheltenham will thus obtain a direct line between those resorts, instead of the present circuitous route through Birmingham, affording that facility of intercommunication which has long been ardently desired; and it will also afford the utmost fa cility of access to the innumerable visitors who, attracted as well by the beauty of the scenery as the memory of Shakspeaa*e, annually resort to Stratford-on-Avon. To those passengers from the east and north-east, direct to Gloucester, the line from Tewkesbury, cutting off the angle of the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway to Cheltenham, will afford a great accommodation, and a saving in distance of at least eight miles, besides the delay of the stoppage at Cheltenham. At Tewkesbury it will also form a junction with the proposed line from that place to Malvern, affording the most direct communication to the numerous visitors to the magnificent scenery and invigorating atmosphere of the celebrated Malvern-hills. To the inhabitants of the ancient and populous borough of Tewkes • bury this portion of the proposed line will prove immensely advan tageous ; situated within ten miles of the important city and port of Gloucester, they have nevertheless to travel by the present railway route nearly twice that distance, an inconvenience which has already materially affected the trade, and prejudiced the interests of the town. The proposed line, running close to the town, will remove this great inconvenience, and restore its trade to its former state of prosperity. The value of this line to the city and port of Gloucester cannot be too highly estimated, as it will not only open to it immense sources of traffic from the whole of the eastern and north-eastern counties, but will very materially lessen the distance between it and Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire, making Gloucester still more securely the nearest and most accessible outlet for the whole of that immensely productive manufacturing region, and it is impossible to conceive any project better calculated to advance the interests of Gloucester, than one capable of effecting that object. Ths line will also form an important junction between the London and Birmingham and Midlands Railways, and the Bristol and Gloucester Railway, and constitute the highway for the traffic of the former, and of all the north-eastern railways, to the proposed Man chester and Southampton Railway at Cheltenham ; and the through traffic from the latter source alone is expected to be very great. It will thus have the effect of connecting the ports of the eastern and north-eastern with those of the western and southern coasts ; of affording the most direct and convenient access from the north and east to the vast mineral regions of South Wales, and of opening new markets for the rich products of the fertile valleys of the Avon and Severn, and the agricultural districts of Warwickshire and Wor• cestershire, in the manufacturing towns and ports of the north. the line will be easy of construction, traversing, as it does, through nearly its whole length, the valleys of the Avon and Severn. The towns through which it will run are very populous, and the country of the richest description ' • and the local traffic will consequently be very great in addition to the through traffic, which on such a line must necessarily be very extensive. The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the power to amalgamate with any other company as to the whole or any part of the line, and to vary or extend the line, and to increase or diminish the capital accordingly, if deemed expedient. The capital proposed to he raised is 1,000,000!., in shares of 201., each, upon which a deposit of 2!. 2s. per share must be paid upon allotment. td until interest,t thea n opening then uponei n g rate th. o 4L ef th The liability of the subscribers will be limited by the Act to the amount of their respective subscriptions to the capital stock, and re spectivep ow p e e r r w will ecn ll atu b . applied ps e e:fr:mn n t, for ni daten the of m theAct faeacoiui np ta toy of . allow e the n e 11135.

The many and important commercial advantages presented by a junction line of railway between the north and south of Ireland, give the promoters of the projected line from Athlone to Sligo, with a branch to Balm', the most unqualified confidence in its success. The proposed line, as regards both public interest and private speculation, will very much surpass any other that has been pro jected from Sligo to Dublin—first uniting with the Dublin and Galway at Athlone, it will pass in a direct line to Sligo, having a branch to Ballina, thereby affording railway communication to the great fair and market towns in the counties of Roscommon, Mayo, and Sligo, and terminating at the important seaport and garrison town of Sligo, where it will also unite with the line to Enniskillen, and thus form a junction between the northern, southern, and western lines, opening a continuous and the most direct railway communication between the great commercial and manufacturing towns of the province of Ulster, and the cities of Cork, Limerick, Waterford, and Kilkenny, and with Galway, and the other large towns and seaports in the south-east and west of Ireland, and also giving to the counties of Sligo, Mayo, and Roscommon. a line of railway to the metropolis. The Athlone and Sligo Junction will receive the Rill support of the Directors of the Great Southern and Western, and the Dublin and Galway Railway Companies. Forty miles of the Great Southern and Western Railway from Dublin to Portarlington are nearly completed, and will be opened to the public in June next. At this advanced period of the year the difficulty of complying strictly with the standing orders of rarliament renders it advisable to undertake, in the first instance, but one division of the line, viz., that from Athlone to Roscommon, being a distance of twenty English miles • for which purpose a capital of no more than 200,0001. will be required. The line from Athlone to Sligo is but seventy-twe miles in length. It will pass through or near the towns of Knockeroghery (at which the second largest sheep fair in Ireland is held), Athleague, Mount Talbot, Itathgar, Roscommon (one of the largest inland markets in Ireland), Lanesborough, Elphin, Croghan (celebrated fair town), Freuchpark, Boyle, Castlerea, Ballaghadereen, Ballymote, Tabber corry, Colooney, Ballisodere, to Sligo. The preliminary surveys have been made, and the engineer, Sir John Macneill, reports very favourably upon the gradients and facilities of construction. Advantages so important as those referred to cannot fail of giving the greatest encouragement to a line of railway which must, from passenger traffic alone, return an ample per centage on the outlay of capital. It should also be borne in mind that the proposed junction line will not only give to the north of Ireland direct and immediate rail way communication with the south, east, and west, but will like wise open to the great manufacturing towns of Scotland similar ac commodation. Railways having the advantage of foreign traffic as an auxiliary, are always the most profitable—no projected line could be more op • portunely circumstanced in that respect than the proposed Grand Junction, forming, as it will, a link between the northern and southern railways, It must, independently of local resources, have a constant stream of passenger traffic from the parent lines at either end, and eventually be found one of the most profitable, as well as the most useful, undertakings in Ireland. Few lines of railway are possessed of greater local advantages. Sligo, a considerable and rising seaport town on the N. W. coast at the one extreme, supplies the whole of the interior, as far as Athlone, with the products of the western world. Its fisheries and that of the neighbouring coast are amoig the best in Ireland. The salmon fishery at Ballina, and the deep sea-fishing of Sligo and Inver Bays would alone yield considerable revenue. .Athlone, at the other terminus, is a garrison town of the greatest importance, in the very centre of Ireland, from whence it must be an object to have railway communication with the garrisons of Boyle and Sligo; there cannot therefore be a doubt of the line obtaining the entire support of the Government. _ _ ---- --- Roscommon is one of the most fertile counties in Ireland ; it abounds in agricultural and mineral produce, and has a population of 253,591 inhabitants. Its great fairs are well known—their staple, the finest horses, horned cattle, sheep, and pigs, in the United King dom, will be conveyed by this line to the Dublin and English mar kets ; and while the farmers will thus have a ready and cheap means of transport for his stock to the best markets, he will, in like manner, be enabled to supply himself with young stock from the fairs of the quantities of bacon are cured annually e Roscommon,'of railway ar e Castlerea, Boyle, &c., and it only re quires communication to develop the many i n d us trial resources of the county.

The Southern Junction Railway is intended to form a communica tion between the Great Western Railway at Slough, and the South- Eastern at Reigate. It will afford the most easy access through the medium of the Great Western Railway to the inhabitants of Reading, Maidenhead, Windsor, Staines, Kingston, Epsom, and the principal intermediate towns, to Dover, Brighton, Hastings, and the other watering-places on the coast of Kent and Sussex. Ireland, Wales, Liverpool, Birmingham, Bristol, and the manu facturing districts in the West of England will thus obtain a more direct, less tedious and expensive communication with the Continent than by the way of London. The length of line as proposed will be twenty-seven miles ; and, after a careffil examination, no engineering difficulty presents itself, as it runs for more than half the distance on a level, and traverses a country that must be greatly benefited by this project. The Company will be in a situation to deposit the Parliamentary plans and sections in ample time for complying with the standing orders, and enabling them to apply for an Act in the ensuing session. The shortness of the line, and the quantity of passenger and mer cantile traffic that the line will command, leaves no doubt of an ample return for the investment of capital. Applications for prospectuses and plans may be made, and forms of applications for shares had at the offices of Messrs.

The Direct Exeter, Plymouth, and Devonport Railway will commence at the Exeter station of the projected Exeter, Yeovil, and Dorchester line, and proceed direct to Chudleigh and the river Teign, where it will join the Brixham and Torbay line, thus opening a direct communication with Newton, Torquay, Paign ton, and Brixham. From the Teign it will proceed over Bovey Heathfield near the Potteries, passing the rail of the Haytor Granite Works to Ashburton and Buckfastleigh; at the latter place it will join the proposed Totnes, Buckfastleigh, and Ashbur ton Railway, and will then continue its course by South Brent, Iry.bridge, and Plympton, to Plymouth and Devonport, bringing these important towns within five hours of London. The advantages offered by this line of railway are, that it is the most direct ; it will bring Chudleigh within nine miles of Exeter, and by joining, in the valley of the Teign, the Dartmouth and Tor bay Railway, will afford that very important line the shortest pos sible communication with Exeter and the metropolis. It is the nearest and most direct route to the important manufacturing towns of Ashburton and Buckfastleigh; and whilst affording to this large and populous manufacturing district the greatest accom. modation will also open a desirable road, for either exporting or conveying into the interior the valuable slate, lime, and minerals found so abundantly around Chudleigh, Ashburton, Staverton, and Buckfastleigh. The promoters of this company, however, consider its most im portant feature to be the direct access it affords to the Royal Arsenal and the ports of Plymouth and Devonport from the me tropolis, the city of Exeter, and the north of England, saving a distance of not less than twelve miles between Exeter and Devon port; and by the connexion of this line with the Exeter and Yeo vil Railway, effecting a further saving of thirty miles in the direc. tion of London and the counties of the eastern coast. This junc tion affords a still stronger point, it will put Plymouth and Portsmouth, the two great naval arsenals of the kingdom, in direct communication with each other, an advantage which cannot be overrated, and which no other line can offer. The engineering difficulties which have beset the South Devon Atmospheric line are confirmed by daily experience, and thus render more necessary this direct communication. The promoters of this direct bee, therefore, looking at all its features, its national importance, the accommodation It affords to the Admiralty, the fertile, densely-populated agricultural districts it will traverse, the manufactures it will revive and support, the quick access it presents to Plymouth and Devonport, with a popu. latien exceeding 130,000, confidently anticipate the favourable de cision of the public, and the earnest and vigorous support of the Government. It is evident this line embraces all the desiderata of a grand trunk line—viz., great public accommodation combined with safety economy, and speed. The Committee have much pleasure in stating that they have received a report from their engineers which is in all respects most satisfactory, and that the fullest arrangements have been made for applying to Parliament in the ensuing session.

The first object of this line is to connect the town of Birmingham, Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route, and to supply an important link of communication between the town of Spalding and the eastern coast with the Western and Midland districts. Commencing at the Spalding station of ,the Norwich, Dereham, Lynn, and Holbeach Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn, Witham, Castle Bytham, South Wytham, and Wymondham, to a point on the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near Melton- Mowbray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mid land Counties Railway, an almost direct route to Leicest er, and thence to Coventry and Birmingham by the proposed Coventry, Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway. The projected line will form the most direct communication be tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, and will, by means of the proposed lines acro ss the county of Leicester, , is - la Ilu lr ton-upon-Trent, to Stafford , bring the markets of Lincoln, o folk, Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each o ther b y many ms than any other line of railway. an ways, almt dect li e n It will form, with ot h e r p ro j ected rail, a cross the kingdom , fro m Yarmouth, via Norwich, on os the ir east, to Aberystwith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the west. The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. There is no tunnel ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary; the line from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve miles, is very level, and may be constructed at a small cost. It will secure the advantages of railway communication to a tract of country at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open ing out sources of trade undeveloped for want of the ineans of transit. The central midland districts have felt greatly. the want of direct communication with the coast ; .and this line will at once supply the deficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire. It will afford a traucit forthe Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon supply front the north at high prices: it will also secure the advs tages of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershire wor'es. to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, which are at present ot.y supplied at very high rates; and, in return traffic, the midland d: , - trlets will okain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk. Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, whiell 4 the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, a:, connected by the River Welland with the German Ocean. The proposed capital will be sufficient for the construction o; necessary works and every subsequent expense ; and the _Iwo: ,e derivable from the traffic in passengers between Birmingham, t•,- ventry, Leicester, Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Boston, the tra: ;- port of cent, cattle, and other produce of the great agricultur.d districts through which the line passes to the principal co nsum : ..g districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the 1 districts, will be sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay. The Parliamentary surveys have been commenced, and are in active progress, and contracts have been entered into which sure sufficient time for compliance with the standing orders. • Forms of application for shares, plans, and prospectuses ma, had of the Solicitors ; also at the offices of the Company, 4, falgar-square, Charing-cross, where applications for shares, pained by respectable references, may be addressed to the sional Committee.

On SATURDAY, Oct. 25, 1845, price Sixpence, To be continued weekly, THERAILWAY EXAMINER . A Jounial of Practical Engineering and Public Enterprise. It is conceived that the " Railway Examiner" will present many features to entitle it to the peculiar attention of all who are enzared in matters of railway enterprise. First—The contents of the " Railway Examiner," except in •he case of extracts (always acknowledged) from contemporary reibli cations, or official documents, will exhibit a character of origins!lty which the newspaper press does not generally present. Every ar ticle of news will be carefully re-written, or compiled for the yur pose, with tke object of presenting the most complete account or all events or negotiations connected with railway property, in the smallest and most convenient compass. The editorial articles be strictly original, and will be written in a calm spirit of inde pendence, from materials and resources for the most part exclusively available to the promoters of the "Railway Examiner." In Nab. permanent rather than ephemeral interests will be the objects of con sideration. Secondly—An important object of the " Railway Examiner" rill be to investigate and explain to the public the various feature:4 of the numerous projects which must shortly come before Parliament for its decision. To this end they will be carefully divided into " Groups," as was done last year by the Board of Trade, and by the Committees of the Houses of Parliament. A series of art', lea under the head of " Railway Groups" has been for a long time in preparation, by gentlemen experienced in railway matters, and IN hp have carefully collected the materials which may aid them in dire lug the public to a sound and rational conclusion as to the relative, merits of competing schemes. Thirdly—Measures have been taken to obtain Correct infornutt7on front all parts of the country as to the progress nicking by the oils Companies, towards bringing their respective projects prak catty and efficiently before Parliament, which will be excluslv.:iy published in the " Railway Examiner." Fourthly—Considering that railway enterprise is of a character to extend usefully and profitably far beyond any national limits, to triviscend all national prejudices, the " Railway Examiner" 1 - 111 present original articles on the prospects of the .successful cation of that principle in all parts of the world. For this purpos• correspondence has been opened with practical men both ht , ur colonies, and in the principal foreign states. Fifthly—The " Railway Examiner" will contain original - authentic articles on the Share Markets. both in London and in he provincial cities ; giving every tact of importance connected with the money price and commercial prospects of every railway scheme. from the very first moment that it makes its appearance in the market. Si Examiner" will contain papers on all to Practical Engineering, particularly as subjectsiuvuxi v t elid in l it'lliiite'ecreaso"tt:rt'elrlitFolii and working of railways. Serentidy—The " Railway Examiner" will give original expad. lions of the Laws relating to Railways, whether as regards their promoters and subscribers, or the public at large. The " Railway Examiner," thus complete, efficient, and i's'le. dendent in every department, will be printed in a handsome c e i l i a d te E s d t of 11 , 1'! i the upon paper of the first quality, and will be published every Saturia; news econtaining Se th Second in timepublished r tthe the morning mails. :~ ng mails, markets, Re.
