Staffordshire Potteries, Birmingham, Derby, Leicester, Manchester,
Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle and Berwick, and with the great manu-
facturing and mining districts of the north of England.
The numerous parishes and districts which will be traversed by the
line comprise a population of nearly 1,500,000 persons, and passing,
as it will, a portion of the counties of Berks and Oxford, the whole
of Buckinghamshire, and by the celebrated Vale of Aylesbury, an
uniting with the several completed or projected railways under-
mentioned, viz.:—
The London and Birmingham
The Great Western
The Southampton Union
The South Midland
The Midland Counties
The Northampton and Leicester
TI-6 Northampton and Peterborough, and thus with
The Direct Manchester
it cannot be doubted that it must prove extremely convenient and
beneficial to the public, and highly advantageous to the proprietors.

liament to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be ap-
plied for in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum on all

21. 2s. per share thereon, and to execute the Parliamentary Con-
tract and the Subscribers' Agreement when required.

FIELD JUNCTION RAILWAY.

Notice is hereby given, that no further Applications for Shares in
this Company will be received after SATURDAY, the 18th inst.' and
that no attention can be paid to any which are not accompanied by a
reference to Bankers, members of the Committee, or the Solicitors
to the undertaking

J. N. SPELLEN, Hon. Sec.
1, Royal Exchange-buildlnP, Oct. 13.

The proposed railway will commence at Rugby, on the London
and Birmingham Railway, the terminus of the Midland Counties
and Trent Volley Railways, and the paint to which several other
projected railways converge, and will proceed through or near to
Leamington, Warwick, Stratford-on-Avon, Evesham, Tewkesbury,
and Chelteneara, to Gloucester. The length of the line will be
about 56 miles.
The advantages that will result from the construction of this line
arc 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 ~f railway com-
munication between the whole of the midland and north-eastern
counties ofEngland, the populous cities and towns before-named, and
the southern arid weetern 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-Awn.
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 miles,
besides the delay of the stoppage at Cheltenham.
At Tewkesbury it will also form a Junction with the proposed line
front that place to Malvern, affording the aiost direct communication
to the numerous visitors to the magnificent scenery and invigorating
atmosphere of the celebrated Malvern-hills.
To the inhabitants of the ardent 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 port 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
be too
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

that object.
This 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 from the latter source alone is expected to be very great.;
It will thus have the effect of connecting the ports of theastern
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 of opening
new markets for the rich products of the fertile valleys of the Avon
and Severs, 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
Committee reserve to themselves the pcwer to
amalgamate with any other company as to the whole or any part of
the line, and te vary to increase • •or extend the line, and or diminish
the capital accordingly, if deemed expedient.
The capital proposed to be raised is 1,000,000/, in shares of 201,
upon which a deposit of 2/. 2s. per s.":are insist be paid upon allot-
merit.
The liability of the subscribers will be limited by the Act to the
amount of their respective subscriptions to capital stock, and
the
at the rate of
power 'will be applied for in the Act to allow Interest
e/. per cent.per annum on the amount of the deposit, and upon ;.he -c-
-spective calls, from the date of each payment until the opening of tire
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[ orfeited.
Forms of application for shares, prospectuses, and a map of tn
line, may be obtained films 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
attended to unless accompanied by a reference to one of the Provi-
sional Committee, the Solicitors, or a Banker.

The object of this line .s to complete the only link wanting in the
chain of railway communication between the ports 01 Hastings,
Rye, Hythe, Folkestone, Sandwich, Dover, Ramsgate, Margate, awl
Deal. • .
The railway already existing between Dover and Folkestone, and
those Low forming by the South-Eastern Company in Kent, Sussex,
and the Isle of Thauet, and between the latter place and Deal, leave
a short distance of nine miles devoid of railway, which this Company
proposes to supply. - Taken, however, in connexion with the proposed
Kent and Essex Union, and Dover, Hastings, and Brighton Junction,
it will pirfect the entire coast line from the mouth of the Medway to
Poole.
The inhabitants of Hastings, Rye, Folkestone, Sandwich, Dover,
Deal, Ramsgate, and Margate, apart from the very' advantageous
extension embraced by the above two schemes; will, by means of this
line, enjoy the benefits of a speedy, cheap, and direct intercourse with
each other, in powerful contrast to the present broken and tedious
route by land, or the unpleasant and lengthy sea-voyage round the
North and South Forelands.
It is anticipated that, beside the above advantages, increased im-
petus will be given to the trade of those places by thus intimately
connecting their respective interests.
Applications for shares and prospectuses to be addressed to the
