-.Thls• Line, which, subject to the decision of the Gauge Commis-
sioners, will be constructed on the Broad Gauge principle, will com-
mence at the ltprcester Station of the Great Eastern and Western
Railway, and,l)roceeding by Redditch and Henley-in-Arden, will
touch Warwick and Leanungton, and end at Rugby, the terminus of
the Midland Counties Railway and of the proposed Rugby and Hunt-

ingdon Junction Railway. It wiil 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 Lou -
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
front 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 tile
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 front
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 New South Wales,
as well as the markets of the markets of the Northern portion of the
principality. •
The advantages of a direct railway carriage over the more
tedious process of carriage by water, to say nothing of the economy
in saving the expense, as well as the damage incident to many kinds
of goods by the frequent transhipment required by the latter, are
too obvious to demand more than this slight allusion.
To the population: along the line as well as to the Midland and
Northern portions of the kingdom, this undertaking will present the
most direct communication with those towns of fashionable resort—
Leamington and Cheltenham. To the inhabitants of Leamington
and Warwick, 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 T.
intersected, will have a preference in the allotment of shares in this
undertaking.
