This Company bas been formed for the purpose of working Gold,
Copper, and other minerals in the vast range of mountains com-
prising the Liverpool Range. the Blue Mountains, the Australian
Alps, and others traversing the colonies of New South Wales and
Victoria from north to south, termed by geologists the " Great Aus-
tralian Cordilleras," and the various flanks and streams contiguous.
In addition to gold and cooper, these mountain ranges are well
known to abound with various other valuable minerals—platina,
Silver, and lead; precious stones are also stated to be among their
hidden treasures.
The Committee of Management have entered into a provisional
contract for a Mineral Lease of 4,000 acres of the celebrated Segenhoe
Estate in the county of Brisbane, in the Hunter River district, where
valuable veins of gold quartz, and copper ore of rich quality have
been discovered.
The Quartz rocks that run through the Segenhoe Estate are pro-
nounced to be the fountain-head from whence are annually carried
• by the flood the debris that form the auriferous alluvial dep•site of
the River Hunter. (See a pamphlet, " Australia and her Treasures,"
Published by Effingham Wilson, Royal Exchange.)
The valuable testimony (as to the auriferous mineral wealth of
this region) contained in tee pamphlet before alluded to, is fully
corroborated by the fact, that the report of the Government Sur-
veyors, Messrs. Hargreaves and Stutchbury, who have lately
returned to Sydney from exploring the district, has been deemed
by the Colonial authorities of too exciting a nature for present
tiublication.
The titles to land in Australia, being all originally derived from
grants or purchases direct from the Crown, are clear and un-
questionable.
The provisional contract and draft lease will lie for inspection of
shareholders at the Company's Offices in London, and copies of the
tame at the offices at Ply-mouth.
In dispatching a staff of officers, engineers, and foremen, with the
requisite machinery and appliances, it will be the study of the Coin-
2nittee of Management to nmbine the greatest efficiency with a
judicious economy, and to obviate the disadvantages arising from
the enormous cost of entirely employing European labour, arrange-
ments have been entered into for the engagement of large numbers
sat. Chinamen, on reasonable terms, to proceed from Hong-Kong and
the neighbourhood to Australia, to meet the Superintendent's staff
-and machinery at Newcastle, on the mouth of the Hunter River.
'The value of Chinese as workmen has already been fully tested in
'California and New South Wales, where large numbers are already
Settled, and daily arriving.
The Company being formed on the Cost-book System, share-
holders will not be required to sign any deed until the Royal
_Charter is obtained ; and as the scrip certificates will be issued
from the purser to bearer, it will be optional for any one to sign
he Cost-book.
Applications for Shares may be made at the Company's Offices in
London and Plymouth ; Messrs. Scott and Edwards, Solicitors, 23,
Southampton-buil Begs, Chancery-lane, where Prospectuses and
ltiaps may be obtained.
FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

and Copper Mining Company.

SEVERN VALLEY RAILWAY.
SUR EWS BURY to WORCESTER.
Capital, 351,0001., in 14,000 shares of 251. each.
Deposit, 21. 2s.
'Under the sanction of the following Proprietors of Estates, and
other parties locally interested upon the Line :
His Grace the Duke of Cleveland,
The night Rev. the Lord Bishop of Worcester,
The Right Hon. Lord Forester,
Sir John Dean Pail, Bart.,
Sir Thomas E. Winnington, Bart.,
Thomas Charlton Whitmore, Esq., M.P.,
• William Wolryche Whitmore, Esq.,
William Lacon Childe, Esq.,
The Mayor and Corporation of Bridgnorth,
The Coahrookdale Company,
The Lilleshall Company,
&c. &e,
A Company is in the course of formation to colestruct a Railway
directly connecting Shrewsbury and Worcester, and to afford to the
important districts along this portion of the Valley of the Severn the
benefits of railway communication.
The proposed line will leave the Madeley Branch of the Shrews-
bury and Birmingham Railway near to Madeley, and proceed direct to
iiridgnorth, and thence follow the Valley of the Severn by Bewdley
and Stourport, near which latter place it will fall into the Oxford,
Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, thus affording railway ac-
commodation to the towns and districts of Coabrookdale, Ironbridge ,
Coalport, Madeley, Broseley, Muen Wenlock, Bridgnorth, Bewdley,
Kidderminster, and Stourport.
The line will also, in connexion with other Railways, establish
the shortest route between Worcester and the whola of the South-
West of England and Wales on the one hand, and Chester, Mr-
' kenhead, Holyhead, and the North of Ireland and Wales on the
other.
As regards the local requirements of the line, the enumeration of
the towns and districts that will be served by it, and which are at
Present without railway accommodation, is considered sufficient. It
should, however, be stated that the difficulty of navigating the
Severn above Stourport has long called for some better means of
transit in those parts.
The proposed line is about twenty-six miles in length, and the
country througk which it will pass well suited for the formation of a
railway ; the landowners have been consulted, and are favourable to
• the project.
It is obvious that the construction of this line will be beneficial
to the existing railways it is intended to join ; the line is, e
in,
the natural extension of the Oxford, Worcester, and IVolver-
hampton Railway, which Company it !s expected will give its
support to the undertaking.
A preliminary survey of the line has been made, and a de-
tailed prospectus will be shortly issued; communications in t
the
Too
Meantime may be addressed to Messrs. 11. and W. Toogood,
Parliament-street, London.
