The proposed railway will commence at Rugby, on the London
and Birmingham Railway, the terminus of the Midland Counties
and Trent Valley Railways, and the paint to which several other
projected railways converge, and will proceed through er near to
Leamington, Warwick, Stratford-on-Avon, Evesham, Tewkesbury,
and Cheltenham,•te Gloucester. The length of the line will be
about 56 miles.
The advantages that will result from the construction of this line
are numerous and highly important, and such as cannot fail to secure
a very large amount of local and through traffic, and a highly-re-
munerative return upon the capital invested. By means of existing
and proposed railways, It will form a complete chain of railway com-
munication between the whole of the midland and north-eastern
counties ofEngland, the populous cities and towns before-named, and
the southern and western districts, and thus bring Leicester, Not-
tingham, Newark, Lincoln, Gainsborough, Great Grimsby, and Hull,
into direct communication with the favourite and fashionable spas of
Leamington and Cheltenham, the richly-productive and far-famed
Vale of Evesham,- and the seaports of Gloucester, Bristol, Plymouth,
and Falmouth, and those of South Wales.
The inhabitants and visitors of the much-frequented watering-
places of Leamington and Cheltenham will thus obtain a direct line
between those resorts, instead of the present circuitous route through
Birmingham, affording that facility of intercommunication which
has long been ardently desired; and it will also afford the utmost fa-
cility of access to the innumerable visitors who, attracted as well by
the beauty of the scenery as the memory of Shakspeare, annually
resort to Stratford-on-Avon.
To those passengers from the east and north-east, direct to
Gloucester, the line from Tewkesbury, cutting off the angle of the
Birmingham and Gloucester Railway to Cheltenham, will afford a
great accommodation, and a saving in distance of at least eight stiles,
besides the delay of the stoppage at Cheltenham.
• To the inhabitants of the ancient and populous borough of Tewkes-
bury this portion of the proposed line will prove immensely advan-
tageous ; situated within ten miles of the important city and pert of
Gloucester, they have nevertheless to travel by the present railway
route nearly twice that distance, an inconvenience which has
already materially affected the trade, and prejudiced the interests of
the tc.wn. The proposed line, running close to the town, will remove
this great inconvenience, and restore its trade to its former state of
prosperity.
The value of this line to the city and port of Gloucester cannot
be too highly estimated, as it will not only open to It immense
sources of traffic from the whole of the eastern and north-eastern
counties, but will very materially lessen the distance between it
and Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire, making
Gloucester still more securely the nearest and most accessible outlet
for the whole of that immensely productive manufacturing region,
and it is impossible to conceive any project better calculated to
advance the interests of Gloucester, than one capable of effecting
that object. _ _

Directors of the
Worcester, Here-
ford,and Glouces-
ter Railway

Ths line will also form an important junction between the London
and Birmingham and Midlands Railways, and the Bristol and
Glouc'sster 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 ot opening
new markets for the rich products of the fertile valleys of the Avon
and Severn, 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 doss, through
nearly its whole length, the valleys of the Avon and Se'wern. The
towns through which it will run are very populous, and the conntry
of the richetit description ; and the local traffic will consequently be
very great in addition to the through traffic, which on such a line
must necefriarily be very extensive.
The Pr.svisional Covimittee reserve to themselves the 'pester 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. caaital accordingly, if deemed expedient.
'fhe capital proposed to be raised is 1,000,0001., in shares of 201.,
each, upon which a deposit of 21. 2s. per share mast ha paid upon
aT botment.
The liability of the subscribers will be limited by I he Aet to the
amount of :heir respective subscriptions to the cap al stock, and
power will be applied for in the Act to allow interest at the rate ot 41.
per cent.per annum on the amount of the deposit, and a son the respec-
tive calls, from the date of each payment untilthe oper drig ot the line.
The Subscribers' Agreement and the Parliamentar) Contract will
be required' to be duly executed when the bankers' re eeipts are ex-
changed for c ertificates of scrip, of which due notice ►il! be given ;
and the deposits paid by persons making default in du e •execntion of
the Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contr se t within the
time to be limited by such notice, will be absolutely fu rf sited.
Forms of application for shares, prospectuses, and 2: map of the
line, may be obtained from the Solicitors, or the Se ex etary, at the
Offices of the Company, 28, Essex-street, Strand, L' ion, or from
