GREAT EASTERN AND WESTERNI
RAILWAY.
Offices, 5, Gresham street, Bank,
• London, November 7, 1845.
The Acting Committee of the Great Eastern and Western Railway
Company have much satisfaction in inferrning the Proprietors that
they have concluded an arrangement with the Great Westena.Com-
pany, the South Wales, Vale of Neath, and Worcester, Hereford,
and Gloucester Companies, by which an Amalgamated Bread
Gauge Scheme for completing the railway communication with the
Mineral Districts of South Wales will be submitted to parliament
with their united support.
The Acting Committee of the Great Eastern and Western Com-
pany have felt that, amidst the conflicting interests around them, it
was their duty to look rather to the security of their Proprietors Blau
to the absolute integrity of their original plan ; but having secured
its virtual integrity by obtaining a share in the capital, and a repre-
sentati on at the boards of the two Companies by which parts of
the work will be executed, they feel confident that their Proprietors
will approve an arrangement by which much useless expense will
be avoided, and the probability cf obtaining the sanction of Parlia-
ment to the general plan materially increased, whilst a continuous
interest in the line from Neath to Worcester is preserved.
They have only to add that, as regards money, they are fully pre-
pared to inset Parliament, and that they have received the most
confident assurances from their engineer and their solicitors that
nothing can interfere with the deposit of their plans, sections, and
books of reference, within the time prescribed by the standing
orders. By order, -
JOHN lIUGIIES, Secretary.

The first object-of this line is to connect the town of Birmingham
Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route
and to supply an important link of communication between the town
of Spalding and the eastern coast, and the western and midland
districts.
Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereham,
Lynn, and Holbeach Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn,
Witham, Castle Bytham, South Wythain, and Wymondliam, to a
point on the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near Melton-
Mowbray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mid-
land Counties Railway, an almost direct route to Leicester, and
thence to Coventry and Birmingham by the proposed Coventry,
Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway.
The projected line will form the most direct communication be-
tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, and will, by
means of the proposed lines across the county of Leicester, via Bur-
ton-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincoln, Norfolk,
Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by many miles
than any other line of railway_
It will form, with other projected railways, an almost direct line
across the kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, on the east, to
Aberystwith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the west.
The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. There is no tunnel-
ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary ; the line
from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve miles, is very
level, and may be constructed at a small cost.
It will secure the advantages of railway communication to a tract
of country at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open-
ing eat sources of trade undeveloped for want of the means of transit.
The central midland districts have felt greatly the want of direct
communication with the coast; and this line will at once supply the
deficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire.
It will afford a transit for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei-
cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon
supply Morn the north at high prices : it will also secure the advan-
tages of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershire works,
to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, which • are at present only
supplied at very high. rates; and, in return traffic, the midland dis-
tricts will obtain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and
agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk.
Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which is
the nearest- point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, and
connected by the River Welland with the German Ocean.
The proposed capital will be sufficient for the construction of the
necessary works and every subsequent expense ; and the income
derivable from the traffic in passengers between Birmingham, Co-
ventry, Leicester, Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Boston, the trans-
port of corn, cattle, and other produce of the great agricultural
districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming
districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland
districts, will be sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay.
The Parliamentary surveys have been commenced, and are now
in active progress, and contracts have been entered into which en-
, sure sufficient time for compliance with the standing orders.
Forms of application for shares, plans, and prospectuses may be
, had of the Solicitors ; also at the offices of the Company, 4, Tra-
falgar-square, Charing- cross, where applications for shares, =coal-
: 'rallied by respectable references, may be addressed to the Provi-

has hitherto been the principal passenger route 'from Lancaster to
Newcastle.
It will readily be conceded that great benefits will. flow from a
direct railway communication between the coal-fields and mining
districts of Durham and Northumberland, and the important towns
and ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood, Newcastle, and Lancaster.
The entire length of the line is rich in mineral productions—coal
slate, limestone, marble, and other elements of a great local traffic
abound, and cannot fail to make this one of the most remunerative
psojects'of the day. A considerable saving of distance between the
important towns on the termini is effected over any existing or pro-
jectedseheme.

It will be reserved to the Committee of Management to make suck
alterations in the line, or the amount of capital required, or other-
wise, as may be deemed most advantageous to the interests c ltke
