This railway is intended to connect the South Wales Railway at
Chepstow with Gloucester, Cheltenham, and Birmingham, with the
projected Cheltenham, Oxford (and London direct), Gloucester, and
Aberystwith, Northampton and Cheltenham, and Manchester and
Southampton Railways ; thus forming an uninterrupted line of com-
munication from the South of Ireland, through Fishgard and Milford
in Pembrokeshire, to Gloucester, Cheltenham, Oxford, and London
direct, Southampton, Birmingham. Manchester, Liverpool, and the
North of England, by a less circuitous route than can be effected by
any of the projected plans for crossing the Severn below Gloucester,
thereby avoiding the difficulties which must necessarily be encoun-
tered in such an undertaking, and affording the important towns and
districts upon the intended lines that acconunodatioa which their im-
portance entitles them to.
The whole of the traffic upon the South Wales line passing to the
Eastward of Chepstow will be carried on this line ; added to which
the coal and mineral traffic from the Forest of Dean (which, from
the Eastern side to Gloucester, has been estimated upon authentic
veep

give
of 300,000 tons ; and from
side the same amount of traffic
may safely be calculated upon), amounting to 600,000 tons per an-
num (the produce of the Forest alone), must be carried upon the line,
independent of the load passenger traffic and an extended trade in
the produce of the Forest, which will necessarily follow the facilities
offered by the proposed railroad.
.
The revenue from this source alone will
exceed three-fourths of the intended capital. ec hand t

free from the dangers and difficulties attendant upon the navigation
of the Severn, consequent upon the rocks Ind shifting sands in that
river. . ..

It is intended to build a bridge across the Severn at Gloucester,
which will in no way obstruct the navigation; and
the proposed
Gloucester and Aberystwith Company will no doubt be ready to join
this Company in the expense, if they obtain their Act. The cost of
the intended line from Chepstow to Gloucester, including the bridge
at Gloucester, and the one over the River Wye, at Chepstow, to join
the South Wales, with branches to the Collieries, Iron Works, and
the Severn, is not expected to exceed 450,0001., but it is intended to
pre ride a capital of 600,0001. to meet any contingencies which may
arise.
A reference to the map will show the self-evident importance of
this line as essential to the perfecting the great project of the South
Wales Railway Company (who have obtained their Act of Parlia-
ment for a railroad from Fishguard and Milford Haven to Chepstow)
n connecting it with the principal railways of the kingdom, at
Gloucester, and making it the direct road to London, via Cheltenham
and Oxford, for effecting which projects are now before the public
with most inflaentlal support. The line is twenty-six miles in
length, has no engineering difficulties ; the gradients and curves are
extremely good, and works light.
It may with very great confidence be asserted, that there is
scarcely a short line of railroad in the kingdom which offers
greater advantages to the Shareholders than the present. Pro-
vision wilrbe made in the Act of Parliament which will be applied
for in the next Session to limit the liability of the Shareholder
to the amount of his Shares, and to allow four
Per cent. on the
calls.

Deckhouse and Co., No. 4, Angel Court, Throgmorton-street, Lon-
