7UANCHESTER AND MILFORD HAVEN
RAILWAY.
The Manchester and Birmingham Continuation and Welsh Junc-
tion Railway having been projected to traverse the same line of
country as the northern part of this lino, the Committee have con-
sidered it to he for the benefit of the Shareholders to avoid any Par-

ment for the entire amalgamation of the two Companies, on equal
terms.
In pursuance of this arrangement, the line of the Manchester and
Milford Haven Railway will commence by a junction with the other
line, near Llangerrig, ;instead of at Crewe. The capital is reduced
to 1,500,0001.; and a portion of the Shares have been granted to the
other Company. It has become necessary, therefore, to close the list
of applications; and no application for Shares will be received after
WEDNESDAY NEXT, the sth day of November, except from landoWners
and gentlemen locally Interested,

BANKERS.
London—Messrs. Rogers, Olding and Co., Clement's-lane

SECRETARY—Henry Brookes, Esq.,
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 point to which several other
projected railways converge, and will proceed through et* near to
Leamington, Warwick, Stratford-on-Avon, Evesham, Tewkesbury,
and Cheltenham, to Gloucester. The length of the line will be
abotit 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 of England, 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 distanc,e of at least eight miles,
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 town. 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 immen'e
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.
Ths 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 fl'om 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 Wiles, and of 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 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 Commictee 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 1,000,0001., in shares of 201,
esch, upon which a deposit of IL 2s. per share must be paid upon
allotment.
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 et 41.
per cent.per annum on the amount of the deposit, and upon the respec-
tive calls, from the Sate 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 persons making default in due execution of
the Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract within the
time to be limited by such notice, will be absolutely forfeited.
Forms of application for shares, prospectuses, and a map of the
line, may be obtained from the Solicitors, or the Secretary, at the
Offices of the Company, 28, Essex-street, Strand, London, or from
any of the undermentioned Sharebrokers ; but no application will be
