VALE OF NE ATH WAIL WA Y.
The allotment of Shares in this Railway being now com-
pleted. the Committee of Management desire to express their regret
that they have been unable to comply so fully as they desired with
the applications of parties locally interrested, and of holders of Shares
In the South Wales Railway.
The public generally will also accept as an apology, that owing to
the unprecedented number of applications, the Committee have been
compelled to overlook many of the very highest character and re-
spectability, and of necessity to limit the number of Shares in each
allotment.

This line is Intended to open a direct communication between the
Great Western and its connexions ; Birmingham, Manchester, the
principality of Wales, (via Oxford); and the South-Eastern and
Brighton Railways: thereby affording to travellers from the north,
north-west, and west of England, as well as from Wales and Ireland,
a direct route to the Continent and all the ports on the south-east
coast without the expense and ineonvenience of passing round by
London, where the delay consequent upon changing trains, itc.,
cannot be estimated at less than six or eight hours, not to mention
the saving of time effected by traversing but one side of a triangle
instead of two (vide map.)
It is proposed that the line should commence at Reading on the
Great Western, and passing through or near Oakingham, Sandhurst,
'Backwater, Farnborough, (on the South-Western), Guildford, Dork-
ing, Reigate, terminate at Redhill, the junction of the South-Eastern
and Brighton lines ; thus forming one of the most important con-
necting lines in the kingdom, presenting no engineering difficulties.
A g)anee at the map will render the great advantages of this junc-
tion so self-evident, that it is deemed useless to enter into minute
details ; but, from calculations, a large return to the shareholders
may reasonably be looked for, as it win open a direct transit for
merchandise and passengers from the principal manufacturing dis-
tricts to the ports contiguous to the Continent, and pass through a
rich and populous country, which in itself would afford ample return
on the cabital invested ; great additional traffic may also be antici-
pated from ttos contiguity and facility of communication with the
metropolitan race-courses—Epsom, Goodwoed, and Ascot.

it will interfere with no existing lines, but, on the contrary, while
it receives 11 will give support to all the western and north-western
railways, with some of which negotiations are now pending.
As a line bringing into direct communication the coast opposite.
France, and such extensive districts of our own country, it may reason-
ably be anticipated that the Government will not overlook advantages
which may one day be of such vital importance to our empire.
l'rospectuses and Maps and any information may be had at the
Offices of the Solicitors, and of Messrs. Shewell and Co., 25, Token-
house-yard; Messrs. Field and Bayley, and Messrs Carden and
Wh.tchrad, Threadneedle-street; to whom applications for Shares
may be addressed.

Tv railway will commence at or near Didcot, Oh the Great
Wee rn Railway, end :passing through :Sewltry to Andover, will
*ere unite with the proposed 3lanchester and Southampton Rail-
way and the London, Salisbury, and Yttlvil Railway.
It is promoted under tho bellot, that, whilst the Manchester and
Southampton lines mast conlMand the traffic of the great manufac-
turing dintrims of ItAitedshire and Cheshire, of the Staffordshire Pot-
tt riee, the iron Districts, and the larger pOrtlon of the Midland and
Weide:in Counties, She traffic front the north-eastern portion of the
c..ontry and of Oxford requires another commuication, and that a
line so designed as to be worked in union with the main project of
the Manchester and Southampton Company, must obtain the coun-
tenance of that influential body as well as of the London, Salisbury,
and Yeovil Company (to the traffic of which Company this under-
taking wilt prove Important tributary), and will offer greater fa-
cilities to the labile titan any scheme dependent in its working on
other "aterosta.
The Line will agord the shortest route between Southampton and
Oxford and all points to the north-east. It will, moreover, open an
ilnurst direct centniunicatlon from Rugby, Oxford, and the Eastern
Counties to Newbury, Andover, Salisbury, Yeovll, and Exeter, Poole,
Dorchester, and the Western Counties ; also to Fareham, Gosport,
and Portsniouth, and the whole Eastern Coast.

In addition to these inunense district advantages, the line cow
proposed conferp on the whole Kingdom the opportunity of reaching
the great national fairs of Weyhill, Appleshaw, and Haley.
Its length will be about thirty miles.
Such Arrangements will be made as on the one hand to ensure the
anecoss of the main design, that namely, of haying tile line worked
by, or in intimate union with, the Manchester and Southampton
Railway Company ; and, on the other, to meet the requirements of
the traffic supplied by the lines under the control of the Great
Western c;ompany.
Comploting„.as this railway will do, the connexion from the
north and ea'' of England to Southampton and the southern coast ;
obtaining, moreover, as it must, a large accession of traffic from the
great network of railways centring at Oxford ; and giving an ontlet
at Southampton, the principal mail packet station of the kingdom, to
the East and West Indies, Mexico, Turkey, Egypt, Spain and Por-
!Aga", also to the Ise of Wight, the Channel Islands, and Franee,—it
Is obvious that the return upon the cost of construction) which will
be moderate) must be blghly remunerative.
The project has been submitted to a deputation of Directors of
the Manchester and Southampton Company, and the Promoters feel
justified in stating that every facility
will be afforded by that Com-
pany in bringing its merits fully before the Legislature.
Forms of Applications for Shares, Copies of the Prospectus, peetus, and a
Map of the Line, may be obtained from the Secretary, at the offices
