country has already been inspected, under the directiOn of the
-engineer, and it is found that there aro no engineering difficulties of
a serious character to be overcome ; and indeed the grater portion et
the line presents a course extremely favourable for a railway, the
gradients being very easy.
Near the point of division at Malvern the Hereford line will awe
a portion of the Malvern range by one or more tunnels; bat the
whole length of the tunnelling will not much exceed one mile. Fecal
the other side of Malvern to Hereford the surface ofthe ommtry lb as
favourable as could be desired.
The Gloucester line, from the point of division to its terminus, will
.pass through a country • peculiarly favourable, the sulfa* Woe
throughout nearly one continuous level.
With regard to the immediate local advantages offered by tbe
proposed railway, it will effect the must direct communication be.
tween the cities of Worcester and Hereford, and Gloucester sad
Worcester, and between those cities and the delightful watering place
and favourite summer residence of Great Malvern, to which it will
also give an easy avid expeditious access from other popolous but
mere remote districts.
The important market town of Ledbury, with the rieh corn, Pratt.
and hop district around it, will also be brought into closer and risers
profitable connexion with the three cities ; and it cannot fall to mate
a considerable addition to the traffic between Worvader and the Pert
of Gloucester.
The facilities presented by the proposed railway for increasing and
developing traffic in a more general and national point of view, are
of a very extended character. Joining the Forest of Dean and Mon-
mouth Railways, it will afford a ready means of transit to South
Wales, and by its junction with the Oxferd, Worcester, and Waver-
hampton line, and with the projected line to Port Dynnlaete It will
give railway communication with *,..d0 manufacturing and mining
districts of the north of England— -especially of South Staffirdshi:e
and Worcestershire, and also wP.711 North Wales and Inland; and by
means of the Great Western P.allway, which it joins at Gloucester, It
will complete an unbroken broad gauge line from Wolverhampton to
Exeter In the one direct9M, and f Pembroke to Welverlitunptou
in the other. It will effect a considerable saving in distance Isetweea
the port of Glouceafel and Wolverhampton, and all parts of the 'earth ;
it will be the Leareat possible route from late extreme west of 1.10-
land; and from South Wales, to all places north of 'Wolverhampton.
The enumeration of the places and districts to be traversed by the
propeced line, and a description of its course, sufficiently Indicate that
It may fairly be expected to command a remunerating amount cif
traffic.

Kidderminster, the iron and glass works at Stourbridge, Dudley, 3
their populous neighbourhood, will also supply an important tunet-511
of traffic—certainly far beyond that now carried on with the present
insufficient means of transit between those places and the district to
be affected by the proposed line.
The Hereford branch of the line offers to the agriculturists of the
counties of Hereford, Radnor, and Brecon the advantages of sheep
and ready means of access t• their principal markets. It will be as
important advantage to them to have their cattle, corn, hope, fruit.

This line will diverge from the line of the Great Eastorn and
Western Railway, near Worcester, and proceeding by Brom-
yard, will end at Leominster, at which point it will unite with the
proposed lines connecting Hereford and Shrewsbury with North
Wales.

The communication by railway between these important towns
and the continuous hop and eider districts has been entirely left
unproyided for by existing arrangements, and this line is brought
forward under the auspices of the Great Eastern and Western
Railway Company, on the strong representations and request of a
large and most influential body of the landed gentry of the neigh-
bourhood.

The object proposed is to make a direct aemmunicatien between
Leominster, Broinyard, and Worcester, which latter town has always
been the natural market for the produce of these districts, and to af-
ford the inhabitants the most direct communication with London,
oompared with other lines, by upwards of3o miles.
No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the act is ob-

tions.
