This Company has been formed for the purpose of working Gold,
Copper, and other minerals in the vast range of mountains corn-
. 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 copper, 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
t atate 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 deposits 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 the 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
Publication.
' The titles to land in Australia, being all originally derived from
• grants or purchases direct from the Crown, are clear and nn-
Questionable.
The provisional contract and draft lease will lie for inspection of
Shareholders at he Company's Offices in London, and copies of the
'nne at the offices at Plymouth.
In dispatching a staff of officers, engineers, and foremen, with the
requisite machinery and appliances, it will be the study of the Corn-
niittee of Management to cmibine the greatest efficiency with a
indlelous economy, and to obviate the disadvantages arising from
the enormous cost of entirely employing European labour, arrange-
' Inents have been entered Into for the engagement of large numbers
Of 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
the Cost-book.
Applications for Shares may be made at the Company's Offices in
i 4.011 don and Plymouth ; Messrs. Scott and Edwards, Solicitors, 23,
sOuthampton-buil sings, Chancery-lane, where Prospectuses and
42P1 may be. obtained.

SEVERN VALLEY RAILWAY.
SHREWSBURY to WORCESTER.
Capital, 351,000/., in 14,000 shares of 251. each.
Deposit, 21. 2s.
ttn?ar 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 Paul, Bart.,
Sir Thomas E. Wilmington, Bart.,
Thomas Charlton Whitmore, Esq., &LP.,
William Wolryche Whitmore. Esq.,
William Lacon Childe, Esq.,
The Mayor and Corporation of Bridgnorth,'
The Coalbrookdale Company,
The Lilleshall Company,
Bcc. Sce.
Company is in the course of formation to construct 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-
'i;tirY and Birmingham Railway near to Madeley. and proceed direct to
dgnorth, and thence follow the Valley of the Severn by Bewdley
trrld Stourport, near which latter place it will fall into the Oxford,
orcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, thus affording railway ac-
t ;ornmodation to the towns and districts of Coabrookdale, Ironbridge ,
Madeley, Broseley, Much Wenlock, Bridgnorth, Bewdley,
'`wlderminster, and Stourport.
the The line will also, in connexion with other Railways, establish
shortest route between Worcester and the whole of the South
west of England and Wales on the one hand, and Chester, fir-
*e nhead, 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
Dreamt without railway accommodation, is considered sufficient. It
ahonid, however, be stated that the difficulty of navigating the
Bevern 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
tlonntry through which it will pass well suited for the formation of a
railway ; the landowno.rs have been consulted, and are favourable to
the project.
It is obvious that the construction of this line will be beneficial
1° the existing railways it is intended to join ; the line is, in fact,
the natural extension of the Osfard, Worcester, and Wolver-
_ampton Railway, which Company it Is expected will give its
•uPport to the 'undertaking.
%, preliminary survey of the line bas been made, and a de-
4.L'uled prospectus will be shortly issued; communications in the
meantime may be addressed to Messrs. IL and W. Toogood, 22,
parliament-street, London.
