advance the i.terests of Gloucester, than one capable of effect i
that object.
This 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 Sever:, 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 be raised is 1,000,000/., is shares of 20/.
upon which a deposit of 2/. 2s. per share must be paid upon allot-
ment.

The liability of the subscribers will be limited by the Act to the
amount of their respective subscriptions to the capital stock, and
Power will be applied for in the Act to allow interest at the rate of
41. per cent.per annum on the amount of the deposit, and upon the re-
spective culls, from the date of each payment until the opening of the
line.
The Subscribers' Agreement and the Parliamentary Contract will
be required to be duly executed when the bankers' receipts are ex-
changed for certificates of scrip, of which due notice will be given ;
and the deposits paid by persona making default in due exeaution of
• the Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract within the
time to be limited by such notice, will be absolutelyf orfeited.
Forms of application for sharev, prospectuses, and a map of tit
line, may be obtained from the Solicitors, or the Secretary, at the
Ofilces of the Company, 28, Essex-street, Strand, London, or from
any of the undermentioned Sharebrokers ; but no application will be
attended to unless accompanied by a reference to one of the Provi-
sional Committee, the solicitors, or a Banker.

The first of this line is to connect the town of Birmingham,
Coventry, and Leicester, 'with the eastern coast by tl 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, Dercham,
Lynn, and. Holbeack Railways, the line will

point on the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near lifelton-
Mowbray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mid-
land Counties Railway, an almost direct route to Leicester, 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 across the county of Leicester, via Bur-
ten-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincoln, Norfolk,
Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by many miles
thaa any other line of railway_
It will fbrm, with other projected railways, an almost direct line
across the kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, on the east, to
Aberystwith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the west.

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-
iug out sources of trade undeveloped for want of tie means 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 trait for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei-
-1 cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon
supply from the :north at high prices: it will also secure the advan-
tages of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershire works,
to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, which are at present only
supplied at very high rates; and, in return traffic, the midland dis-
tricts will o'Attin the advanta e of a direct transit for the stock and
agricultural produce of Lin hire and Norfolk.
At
Several proposed lines o lway converge at Spalding, which is
the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, and
connected by the River Welland with the German Ocean.
The proposed capital will be sufficient for the construction of the
necessary works and every subsequent expense ; and the income
derivable front the traffic in passengers between Birmingham, Co-
ventry, Leicester, Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Boston, the trans-
port of corn, cattle, and other produce of the great agricultural
districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming
districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland
districts, will be sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay.
The Parliamentary surveys have been commenced, and are now
in active progress, and contracts have been entered into which en-
sure
sufficient time for compliance 'with the standing orders. A Provisional Committee of gentlemen in now in !course of for-
mation, and will be published, with the prospectuses and plan, on
Monday next. In the meantime, application for shares, in the sub-
joined form may be addressed to the Secretary, at the offices of the
Company, 4, Trafalgar-square, Charing Cross.
