CHESTER RAILWAY.
The Committee of Management announce that the Letters of
Allotment have been this day posted. They beg to express their
regret at having been compelled to reject the applications of many
thousand persons, and to curtail, in almost every instance, those
applications which were entertained.
This course of proceeding was rendered unavoidable by the num-
ber of applications which had been received.
By order,
EDWARD L. OGLE, Secretary.

This Line, which, subject to the decision of the Gauge Commis-
sioners, will be constructed on the Broad Gauge principle, will com-
mence at the Worcester Station of the Great Eastern and Western
Railway, and, proceeding by Redditch and Henley-in-Arden, will
tcuch Warwick and Leamington, and end at Rugby, the terminus of
the Midland Counties Railway and of the proposed Rugby and Hunt-
ingdon Junction Railway. It will communicate with Droitwich,
Studley, Alcester, and Stratford-on-Avon.
At Warwick, it will unite with the Birmingham and Oxford Junc-
tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon-
don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway ; and at
Rugby, with the London and Birmingham, the Midland Counties,
and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railways.
The country through which it will pass, is thickly populated, and
of the richest description. It presents no engineering difficulties, and
from its population, its manufactures, and agricultural produce, it
possesses sources of such abundant traffic as to render it highly re-
munerative to the capitalists.
The object proposed is to complete the line of railway communica-
tion between the Western, Midland, and Eastern portions :of the
Kingdom, and a glance at the Map of England will show that this
will be effected in the most direct manner by the present line ; touch-
ing, as it will, at one of its termini, a railway running direct from
Swansea to Worcester, and at the other, the projected line from
Rugby to Huntingdon—from which point a railway communication
has been already provided.
By means of this Railway, the manufactures of all the towns and
the agricultural produce of the country contained within its range,
as well as the Ports on the Eastern and North-Eastern Coast, will
have opened to them a direct and unbroken communication with
the great and densely-populated mineral fields of South Wales, as well
as the markets of the Northern portion of the principality.
To the population- along the line as well as to the Midland and
Northern portions of he kingdom, this undertaking will present the
most direct communication with those towns of fashionable resort—
Leamington and Cheltenham. To the inhabitants of Leamington
and War wick, it will open the most direct communication with the
city of Worcester and South Wales, whilst to the inhabitants of
Worcester, it will open the markets of the Eastern portions of the
country.
The Shareholders in the several railways proposed to be joined or
intersected, will have a preference in the allotment of shares in this
undertaking.
No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the Act is
obtained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at four
pounds per centum on all calls from the time of their respective
payments, and to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount
of their subscription.
Applications for shares in the annexed form to be made to the
Provisional Committee, at the office, 5, Gresham-street, London, or
to Messrs. John Shewell and Son, sharebrokers, Tokenhouse-yard;
