The object of this undertaking is to secure a superior terminus to
the railways which have recently been incorporated, or are projected
to the south of the City of Glasgow..
The Line will commence at a point on the Glasgow, Barrhead, and
-Nellston Direct Railway, nearly one mile tuthe south of the City,
send will terminate at the River Clyde, near the site of the old Wheat
Sheaf Inn, and adjoining to the Church of Gorbals, with Branches
to the Clydesdale Junction and Monkland Direct Railway, or such
point as may be deemed advisable.
The Line has been carefully surveyed, and the proposed capital is
amply sufficient ; and when it is considered that the terminus will
be at the most suitable point between the stone bridge to be erected
at the foot of Stockwell-street, and the iron bridge to be erected at
the foot of Portland-street, and that it will be convenient to the
Post Office, to the new Arcade, and other :places of public resort
contemplated with a view to embellish the City and improve the ac-
cess to the Harbour, and that it will concentrate at this important
point the Railways to Pollockshaws, Barrhead, and Neilstoa—Kil,
marnock, Irvine, Ardrossan, and Ayr—Strathaven, Lesmahagow,
and Carlisle—Hutherglen, Hamilton, Wishaw, and Lan/irk—not to
speak of the Lines of the Monklands, Lothians, and Edinburgh
itself—there cannot be a doubt that, short though this Line be,
there are few likely to afford a more ample remuneration to the pro-
prietors.
In allocating the Shares, a preference will be given to the Share
and Scrip holders of the Glasgow; Barrhead, and Neilston Direct,
Clydesdale Junction, Glasgow, Kilmarnock, and Ardrossan, Glasgow,
StrAthaven, and Lesmahagow Direct, and Glasgow and Monklands
Direct Railways.

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
t.uch 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 Droltvrich,
btu( Alcatel'. and Stratford-on-Avon.
erwick, it will unite with the Birmingham and Oxford Junc-
tion rt, 'way, 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.
Tlie country through which it will pass, Is thickly populated, and
of tlAs richest description. It presents no engineering difficulties, and
from its population, its manufactures, and agricultural produce, it
pate-mos 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
Rigby to Huntingdon—from which point a railway communication
baa 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.
'Po 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—
Letcwington 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
°watery.
IntTelrlocStheez will haveeholders ainthe several railways proposed to be joined or
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 oenturn on all calls from the time of their respective
payments, and to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount
of their subscription.
