Thb object of this Company is to form a communication between
the extensive ports of Lynn and Wisbeach, and the manufacturing
Midland counties of England, by means of a direct railway from
Lynn, through Wisbeach to Peterborough, completing the line from
the Eastern coast of England to Northampton, and Lincoln and Bir-
mingham. The inhabitants of Lynn, Wisbeach, and " Peterborough
will then enjoy the advantage of a cheap and direct intercomMuni-
cation between their respective towns, while the important ootn-
'nerds' interests connected with the manufacturing and export
trades between the Midland Counties and the eastern parts of the
coast, will have very valuable additional facilities afforded them.
This line will not ,interfere with either of the proposed lines to
Nirisbeach, as those lines will proceed towards London, through
Huntingdon, St. Ives, and Ely ; while this line is intended to
afford the means of direct communication with all the manufacturing
and midland districts.
It has also this pre-eminent advantage, that it runs through what
may be justly termed, the Belgic portion of England, upon the banks
of the river Nene, on a dead level.

Yav ,v • •
The ports of Lynn and Wisbeach export more corn from the corn-
growing districts in the fens, than any two ports in the three
kingdoms ; while the imports of coal, timber, stone, and merchandise
of every description, into the inland and midland districts, must
prove a source of great profit to the proposed line.
A detailed prospectus, with a further list of the Provisional Com-
mittee, will be published in the course of a few days ; In the interim,
applications for shares may be addressed to William Andrews, Esq.,

field of South Wales, passing near to and through the midst of the
extensive Iron works and collieries of Monmouthshire and Glamor-
ganshire, to join the Aberdare branch of the Taff Vale Railway,
which connects Merthyr Tydvil and Aberdare with Cardiff—thus
forming a much more direct and almost 'straight Llne--by means of
the railways already made and projected between those immensely
populous districts, and the centre of the kingdom and London, by
means of which the journey by land will be -shortened between the

It will be found by reference to the official census of 1831 and
1841, that the average increase of population of the county of Mon-
mouth exceeded that of any other county In England or Wales ; this
fact is referred to as illustrative of the rising importance of the
country through which this railway Is intended, to pass, and of
the very large passenger traffic which may reasonably be calculated
upon.

. -
The town of Usk, with Ragland, and the rich agricultural district
for,many miles around, are supplied by carts from the vicinity 'of
Pontypool with coal and lime, which are there obtained at a cheap
rate, and in return cattle and provisions of all kinds, hay, corn, and
pit timber to an enormous extent, are sent to the iron works and
collieries, where the consumption is immense. This traffic !thine
must necessarily ensure a considerable revenue to the Company, in-
dependent of the great traffic from the manufactured iron, fire
bricks, and paving stone, which is of sverior quality, and in great
abundance. The present cost of conveying and delivering iron and
tin plates from the works to London, including transit to the port,
shipping charges, freight, and insurance, amounts to little less than
20s. per ton, whilst by this railway, anti those it is intended to join,
the average cost at the rate usually charged for such goods on rail-
ways will effect a saving of at least 25 per cent., and be conveyed
within twenty-four hours, instead'of the average voyage round the
Land's End of three, and not unfrequently six weeks, and with the
very important advantage of delivering the iron free from- rust,
which is unavoidable on a sea voyage, in small bars snore particu-
larly, causing a deterioration of from 158. to 20s. per ton at least.
This railway, by means of the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and
Gloucester Junction, and the Birmingham and Gloucester Railways,
will open Birmingham as a market for the manufactured iron of
South Wales, from which it has been in a measure excluded, from
the difficaltand expensive transit by the River ::-avers and Canals.
Large quantities of iron ore, known as " Ilannatete ore," is Imported
into Wales, from Lancashire, Cumberland, Devon, and Cornwall; whilst
ore of a similar quality, and equal productiveness for iron making,
exists in abundance iu the Forest of Dean, and may be raised and
delivered from thence by means of this and the Chepstow, Forest of.
Dean, and Gloucoster Junction Railway to the different iron works
in Motnnouthshire and Glamorganshire at an average of from 25 to 30
.per cent. less than it costs at present, and at the same time leave a
handsome remuneration to the Railway Companies.
The Committee of Management have gone very carefully into
estimates of the goods traffic especially, and they feel justified in
expressing a decided opinion that the revenue front this source alone
• will yield 5 per cent. on the proposed capital of the Company, in
addition to the revenue to be derived front the other traffic.
, This Railway will pass close to, 'and within a few miles of, all the
iron and tin works of Monmouthshire, and the principal part of
those in Glamorganshire ; and the following short statistic of the
extent of those stupendous undertakings will give an idea of the vast
importance of the present project. The iron and tin works cont-
inence at Pontypool, and are-
1. The Poutymolle Tin and Iron Works of Capel Ilanbury Leigh,
Esq.
2. The Blaendare Iron and Coal Works of R. J. Iliewitt, Esq.,

3. The extensive Tin Works of Messrs. Conway, Messrs. Fother-

And added to which, in the vicinity, are the extensive works and
collieries in the Aberdare Valley. •
And on either side of the intended railway are collieries raising
and vending about one million and a half tons of coal per anum,
which it is not unreasonable to expect will be greatly extended, by
the facilities offered through the Intended railway..
In the districts of Merthyr, Aberdare, and westward, there exists
an inexhaustible abundance of a peculiar description of coal, which,
though inflammable, is nearly smokeless, and is found to be superior
in quality for steam purposes to any yet known. In the London
market it meets with a ready sale at 30 pin* cent. higher than any of
the best north country Ilartley's ; and notwithstanding the high
Price, so highly is it esteemed, that the present importation amounts
to nearly 100,000 tons per annum. This coal for the most part is
brought from a distance of 24 miles, and shipped at Cardiff, from

whence freights to London have averaged from 10s. to I Is. per ton
during the past year; but so uncertain its the supply to the metropo-
lis, owing to the scarcity of ships on the Welsh coast, and the long
and precarious navlgatiob round the Land's End, that many who are
anxious to adopt their engine grates for its use, are deterred from
the too great uncertainty which exists against obtaining a regular
and constant supply ; these difficulties will be entirely superseded by
the proposed railway, and those it is intended to join, with the grout
additional advantage and impetus to increased use and consumption,
that it may be delivered to the consumer at from 2s. to 3s. per ton
less price than at present. Under such circumstances, it will not

appear unreasonable to those unacquainted with the trade, to expect
that the consumption in the metropolis alone will be increased four-
fold, whilst a new-found trade will be owed out with Chepstow,
Gloucester, Cheltenham, Witney, Oxford, and the numerous inter-
mediate towns to London, where steam coal is used.
It has lieen-eonsidered snore judicious to form a separate Company
_ _

for the Extension line from Chepstow to the Taff Vale, than to alter
the ChepstoW, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway
Company at present, but powers are proposed to be taken for uniting
the two Companies hereafter, with the assent of their respective
Boards of Direction.

Preference will be given to those locally interested, and to the
holders of Shares in the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester
Junction Railway.

A reference to the map will show the importance of this line as
forming a direct line of railway communication between the groat
mineral district of Monmouthshire and Glamorganshire, with the
heart of the Kingdom and London. •

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
The importance of connecting remote Parts of E. gland .by Raß-
ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upotrintermediate towns
and districts, can scarcely be beater .exemplified than by the Line
which is how proposed to form a short and direct channel of inter-
course bet Ween Oxford and Salisbury. Numerous projected lines
now before the puldic will. make Oxford at the north, and Salisbury
at the south of the intended Railroad the ecntral, points from which
various radii will di, ewe to the north west, north, and north-east of
the former, and to the cast, south, and west of the latter; and the
proposed Line from Cambridge to Oxford, continuing to that city the
course of Railway front the north-eastern parts _of the island, requires
the appliance now suggested to effect a consp:ete means of transit to
tile western and sotith-western counties.

The Oxford and Salisbury Direct Railway, 'in addition to
the benefits which will be - conferred upon the nation at
large, by preferring a direct line of commun cation be-
tween the north-eastern and western and south-Western
parts of England, will atTord to the borouh of Abingdou,
the Market towns of Wantage, Ilungerford, and Ludgershall, and
the adjacent villages, an important railway accommodation, of which
the agricultural districts in which they are seated stand in much
need, and will provide a facility for the interchange of produce be-
tween the rural, manufacturing, and commercial population of the
kingdom.

The want of railway accommodation has long been 'felt to press
unfairly upon the inhabitants of the important 'and thriving town of
Abingdon. Their means and opportunities of competing with the more
fortunate traders of those towns which are already provided with di-
rect channels of transit, are thus severely crippled. The same remark
applies in some degree to the market town of Wantage, which, as
well as liungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits
and advantages produced by rail Way traffic.
It has therefore been determined to commence the proposed lino at
Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdon.to the station of the Great
Western Railway at Steventon, thus giving to Abingdon a direct rail-
road to London. By continuing the projected railway to Wantage, the
same facility of transit to London will be afforded to that place ; and
a perfect line of road from the north-eastern counties will, by a junc-
tion with the projection from Cambridge to Oxford, be produced,
throUgh the towns which have been named, litutgerford and Lodgers.
hall to Salisbury, and thence to the south amid western ports and dis-
tricts.

A map of the line, and a statistical report of the whole country
intended to be traversed, is in course of preparation, and with the
names of an influential provisional Committee, will very shortly
be published. In the meantime, further information may be ob-
tained from Messrs. Elmslie and Preston, 47, Moorgate-street,
London, solicitors to the undertaking, to whom, at present, applica-
tion for shares may be made.

PROSPE&Iii,

This important line, the only one having for its object the direct
communication between South Wales, Birmingham, the Midland
Counties, Liverpool, Manchester, and the North, will commence at
Hereford, and passing to the Vale of the Severn, via Bewdley, Bridg-
floral, Bros!ley, Iron Bridge, and Colebrooke Dale, take a direct
route through or near Wellington and Market Drayton to Crewe, or
to Runcorn, whence the existing lines will continue the traffic to
Liverpool, Manchester, and the North. At Bewdley there will be a
Branch Line through Kidderminster to Birmingham and the Mid-
land Counties.
Reference to the map will show that three PrOiected Railways
converge at ilereford, viz:—The South Wales line from the coast, at
Newport, via Monmouth ;1 the' Bristol lines from Bristol, overway the
by
Seven! ; and the Great Eastern ant Western from Swansea,
of Merthyr and Abergavenny. This grand trunk will, therefore,
connect with. the North and Central portions of the kingdom, by the
nearest practicable route, Bristol, the West of England, and the
whole of South Wales, containing a vast population and extensive
iron, copper, tin-plate, and coal works, numerous and important
Ports, including Milford Haven; and the Governinent Dock-yard,
and concentrate to itself the great Passenger and Goods traffic new
conveyed by various circuitous routes to and fro.
This line, .too, will unite the Iron districts of South Wales with
those of Staffordshire and Shropshire.
Apart from the ordinary incentives to travelling, the beautlffil
scenery of South Wales and the various watering-places will add
considerably to the passenger traffic on this line,
A more than usual revenue stay be calculated upon in the goods
traffic, arising from the extensive connexion existing between South
Wales and the important termini, convtYleg, as this communication

will, the various productions of iron, cereer, coal, tm
the.north, and woollens, cottons; salt, hardware, pottery ware,
cattle, and Agricultural produce, required for the several counties,
districts, and towns, accommodated by this line, westward ; with the
advantage of delivery in a few hours, free from the risks and delays
of a sea voyage, and at one-third the distance.
The conveyance of coals to tho counties through which these lines
run will also be a means of considerable and increasing revenue;

The proposed railway Is intended to commence on the Trent
Valley Railway near Stafford, anti proceeding thence in .an easterly
direction, to pass through, or near to, Tizall, Ilaywood, Colwich, and
Abbott's Bromley, to the rapidly-increasing town of Burton-upon-
Trent, where it will run into the Birmingham and Derby Railway,
forming the shortest and best practicable route from Stafford to
Derby. Leaving the Birmingham and Derby Railway at Burton-
upon-Trent, it will proceed along the Talley of the Trent by Repton,
Swarkestone, and Shardlow, to the Midland Counties Railway at the
point where that railway forms &junction with the Derby and Not-
tingham Railway ; and,thus, by means of these and other railways
in progress, form a complete line of railway communication between
the central towns of Stafford, Derby, Nettingliani, Lincoln, Leices-
ter, Peterhorough, and Boston, on the east, and Shrewsbury, Ches-
ter, and Holyhead, North Wales, and Ireland, on the west.
This railway will, therefore, form the only connecting link re-
quired in the great chain of railway communication from east and
west through the heart of the kingdom, uniting the shores of the
German Ocean on the cast with those of the Irish Sea on the west, and
traversing in Its course the rich agricultural districts of the eastern,
midland, and western counties, and accommodating the important, and
populous manufacturing towns of Stafford, Derby, Nottingham, Lei-
cesinr, and Shrewsbury. But another most important advantage
that will result from the formation of this line will consist in the
fact of its affording, Its connexion with the proposed South Union, or
Manchester and Potteries Hallway, by far the shortest and best
route between Derby, Nottingham, Newark, Lincoln, Peterborough,
Leicester, and Loughborough, and the extensive and populous dis-
tricts of the Staffordshire Potteries, Macclesfield, Stockport, and
Manchester. By the proposed line the distance between Nottingham
and Derby and Manchester will he at least trom IS to 20 miles less
than by the present circuitous route by Sheffield.
The traffic on this lino must necessarily be equal, if not superior,
to that of any lino in the district.
The lengths of the lifts will be about 32 miles, through a country
presenting no difficulties of more than an ordinary kind for its con-
struction.
- -

The capital proposed to be raised is 600,0001, in shares of 901.
each, upon which a deposit of 21. 2s. per share must be paid upon the
allotment. No call will be•wade until the Act is obtained, and no
subscriber will be liable beyond the amennt of his deposit until the
Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription ;
and the usual power will be taken to allow interest at four per cent.
from the time of payment upon oath call, until the opening of the

line.
The Subscribers' Agreement and the Parliamentary Contract must
be executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip cer-
tifleates, of which 14 days' notice will be given ; and the deposits
paid by any party making default in the execution of those deeds will
be forfeited.

The Directors have the satisfaction to inform their Shareholders
that arrangements have been concluded. with the Norfolk Company
for an extension of the line from Wisbeach, via Downham Market,
to Brandfin, thus completing an independent line of communication
from Yarmouth and Norwich to Nottingham' and the manufacturing
districts, and securing by the alliance the passing of the traffic over
the entire portion of the Grand Union and Extension Line referred
to. The distance between Nottingham and Yarmouth by the pro-
posed extension will be as short as by the Lynn and Dereham and
Lynn and Ely lines, while the traffic to and from the north, from the
central, west, and south parts of Norfolk, the north of Cambridge-
shire, and the counties of Suffolk and EiSex, will be secured for the
united undertaking.
The Extension Line will be made by the two Companies jointly,
and the shares will be apportioned amongst the ,respective share-
holders of each.
It is intended that the Norfolk and Grand Union Companies should
guarantee four per cent dividend, .with a division of profits to the
shareholders of the new line.
The direction will consist of an equal number of gentlemen from
the Norfolk and Grand Union. boards, and Mr. Robert Stephenson
will co-operate with Mr. Vignoles as engineer of the line.
Further particulars will be shortly advertised.
