The proposed railway will commence at Rugby, on the London
and Birmingham Railway, the terminus of the Midland Counties
and Trent Valley Railways, and the point to which several other
projected railways converge, and will proceed through er near to
Leamington, Warwick, Stratford-on-Avon, Evesham, Tewkesbury,
and Cheltenham, to Gloucester. The length of the line will ba
about 86 miles.

The advantages that will result from the construction of this line
are 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 of railway com-
munication between the whole of the midland and north-eastern
counties ofEngland, the populous cities and towns before-named, and
the southern and western districts, and thus bring Leicester, Not-
tingham, Newark, Lincoln, Galnsborough, 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
res.)rt to Stratford-on-Avon.
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
from that plate to Malvern, affording the :host direct communication
to the numerous visitors to the magnificent scenery and invigorating
atmosphere of the celebrated Malvern-hills.
To the inhabitants of the ancient 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
the town. The proposed line, running close to the town, will remove
this great !neon; enience, and restore its trade to its former state of
prosperity.
The value of this line to the city and port of Oloncester cannot
be too highly estimated, as it will not only open to it immense
sources of traffic from tho whole of the eastern and north-eastern
counties, but will very materially lessen the distance between it
and Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire, making
Gloucester still more securely the nearest and most accessible outlet
for the whole of that immensely productive manufacturing region ;
and it is impossible to conceive any project better Calculated to
ce the interests of GlouctsterN than One capable of feet
that object.
This line will also form an important junction between the London
and Birmingham :and atidiands Railways, and the Bristol and
Gloucester Railway, and constitute the highway for the trete of the
former, and of all the north-eastern railways, to the proposed Man-
chester and Southampton Railway at Cheltenham; and the through
traffic front the latter source alone is expected to be very great:,
It will thus have the effect of connecting the ports of the eastern 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 Sarong, and the agricultural districts of Warwickahire and Wor
cestershire, in the manufacturing towns and ports of the north.•
Tha 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
the through traffic, which on such a line

The Provisional Coqunittee reserve to themselves the pcwer to
amalgamate with any other company as to the whole or any part of
the line, and to vary or extend the line, and to increase 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 share must be paid upon allot-
ment.

The liability of the subscribers will be limited by the Act to the
amount of their respective subscriptions to the capital stock, and
power will be applied for ill the Act to allow interest at the rate of
4/. per cent.per annum on the amount of the deposit, and upon the re-
spective calls, from the date of each payment until the opening of the
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 absolutelyforfeited.
Forms of application for shares, prospectuses, and a map of lb
line, may be obtained from the Solicitors, or the Secretary, at the
Offices of the Company, 28, Essex-street, Strand, London, or from

The object of this line is to complete the only link wanting in the
chain of railway connnunication between the ports of Hastings,
Rye, Ilythe, Folkestone, Sandwich, Dover, Ramsgate, Margate, and
Deal.
The railway already existing between Dover and Folkestone, and
those now forming by the South-Eastern Company in Kent, Sussex,
and the Isle of Thanet, 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 palut the entire coast line from the mouth of the Medway to
Poole.
The inhabitants of Heating's, 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.

The Directors have for some time past been in direct communica-
tion with the Belgian Government, and they have entered into a
preliminary arrangement, under date of the 27th of September, 1845,
with the Minister of public Works, by which the Minister grants to
them the preference for the concession of a railway, to be called the
"Grand Junction," and engages to conclude with the Directors a
provisional contract, previously to submitting the " Projet de loi "
for royal approbation, and also to apply for the sanction of the Legis-
lature.
The valuable and important ironworks of Couvin will also, under
the same agreement, be ceded to the Company.
The Belgian Grand Junction Railway will directly connect the
provinces of Brabant, Ilainault, Liege, Limbourg, and Namur, with
cacti other, and with the Government lines of railway, as also with
the several lines of Liege and Namur, Landen and Hasselt, Louvain
and Jemeppe, Sambre and Meuse, and the Great Luxembourg
Mons. Marche], the eminent Belgian engineer, has carefally sur-
veyed the line, and has deposited the necessary plans, sections, and
estimates with the Belgian Government.
Mr. James Thomson, one of the Company's engineers, has also
gone over the line, and reports most favourably upon the pecullaf
facilities for the construction of the railway, and theentire absence
of all engineering difficulties.
The Chairman and two of the Directors have carefully traversed
the whole of the line, and have received the most positive assur-
ances of support from the local authorities and landed proprietors.
The provinces which the railway will unite were found by the
census of 1844 to comprise a population of 2,188 551, and the dis-
tricts which It will traverse are situated in the heart of Belgium,
and comprise an area of 165 square miles. The entire length of the
Belgian Grand Junction Railway will be 102 English miles.
This portion of the country is emphatically ;termed the Granary of
Belgium, and, in addition to its vast agricaltaral produce, is rich in
ironstone, lead, marble, stone, and slate quarries. It haa also nume-
rous distilleries, extensive brewerieS, ironworks; and large manufac-
tories of porcelain, glass, paper, Beetroot, sugar, gunpowder, &e.
The great coal-fields of Charleroi and Lieg,e,2rivhich are.the most ex-
tensive in Belgium, will, by meant .of this line, be enabled to supply
all parts of the kingdom at a very reduced rate: • ,
The Government lines already completed, as well Its the several
private lines now in course of construction, -will necessarily be the
feeders to the Grand Junction line; as it will unite w4th the whole of
them, and will traverse a district destitute of all water communica-
tion, and very imperfectly supplied with roads ; whilst the invariable
1111 e of the Belgian Government not to permit any competing lines,
most necessarily ensure to this Company the entire' traffic of the
country through which this line will pass.
Tables, caleula tool with reference to the present amount of traffic, have
been carefully and accurately prepared ; and, upon the improbable as-
sumption that there will be no increase when the Grand Junction
Railn'tly is constructed, the shareholders would even then receive a
lei a interest Mt their capital. But, as in all cases, and more parti-
cularly iii l4elgittm, increased facilities of communication have been
accompanied by a great Increase of traffic, there can be no doubt
that the Grand Junction Railway Company war pay a considerable
dividend to the shareholders.
l'he eapense of construction, and the subsequent expenses of work-
ing the line, are Very much less than in English railways ; and it is
an iMpotOttnt feature that the enormous outlay incident to a Perna-
nientafy contest in England is avoided.
A considerable eating will also be effected in the cost of iron, and
of the locomotive engined and traffic material, which will be manufac-
tured at the Couvin works; and tee Company have, therefore, the
peculiar advantage of being independent of a supply from any other
qttaftee, dud free from the delay and disappointment consequent upon
the present increased demand.
The grant will be for ninety years, and the Act will provide that
the railway shall, for the whole term, be exempt from all rates and
charges whatsoever, whether local or national.
By the law of Belgium, this Company will be constituted a
Societe Anonyme, and the liability of each shareholder will be
limited to the amount of his respective shares.
A second paytnent of 2/. per share will be required one month after
the Concession Shall have been ratified by the Directors, and the
subSeqUent tails will be made at such periods as the Directors may
determine.
Ad accountable receipt will be given to each subscriber on payment
of his deposit, which receipt must be exchanged for certificates for
shares, at the office of the Company, within twenty-one days after
the first appearance of an advertisement requiring such exchange ;
such ad,iettidnifient to be inserted once in the London Gazette, and
three times in each a 1 two daily Morning London newspapers. The
ilmi-ciiiiipliante nith this condition will entail on the subscriber the
ibffeittife of his deposits.
Notice of Calls will be given by advertisement in the London Ga-
zette, and two daily Morning Lertekrn newspapers; and if any call on
any share shall remain unpaid for twenty-one days after the day
nertied* the singe shall beeomeabsolutely forfeited:
IhtereSt at the fate of 4/, per cent. per annum will be paid upon
the ittnbtint of capital paid tip, stich interest to b 3 calculated from the
tittin bt Obtaining the Act of the Legislature until till opening of
the hue,
All points of detail will, tinder the terms of the Convention and
Act, be settled between the Belgian OtrVernMent And the Directors;
and it is One of the conditions on which the shares will be appor-
tioned and accepted, that the subscribers confide to the Directors full
power to make tech arrangement with the Belgian Government with
respect to any alterations or modifications of the line, and of the
terms of the grant, as they may think expedient for the furtherance
Of the interests of the Company.

Cornwall has long been struggling to procure the benefits of rail-
way communication, but divisions amongst its friends have for
several successive years prevented any scheme from being carried
out.
At length, on the 20th August last, at a full county meeting at
Bodmin, presided over by the High Sheriff, it was unanimously
resolved :—" That the general interests of the county of Cornwall, as
well as of the public at large, absolutely requite that no trunk line
should be sanctioned through the county which does not afford the
most direct, central, safe, and continuous railway communication
from Falmouth and renzance to London." This decision, in con-
junction with the appearance of the scheme of the North Devon
Company, has appeared to the promoters of the Great Western
and Falmouth Junction railway, to present a favourable opportunity
for bringing before the public a Central Line, on the broad guage,
which, by the combination of four powerful companies, is now, it
may be said, brought almost to the boarders of Cornwall.
The Great Western railway, already open to Exeter, is now being
extended to Crediton, and from thence the North Devon Company
intend to construct a main line to join their north and south Devon
nix, in the neighbourhood of Hatherleigh, thirty miles directly west
from Exeter, and about seventy miles from Falmouth.
The Great Western and Falmouth Junction Railway will corn-
meniie near Hatherleigh, and will be about seventy miles in length,
and form ft direct extension of the line from Crediton to that place,
proposed by the North Devon Company, and will thence proceed by
Launces'.on, Bodmin, and Truro to Falmouth; and in order to pre-
aerve the old ;Die of communication from Cornwall $o Plymouth, ad-
mitted to be of great local importance, a branch will run from the
main line near Bodmin, through or near Liskeard, to join the South
Devon and Tavistock near Plymouth.
By means of this railway, ,t2d the North Devon, Credidto and
Exeter, Bristol and Exeter, and Qt .:at Western Railways, there will
be a direct and unbi oken line on the oad gauge :from Falmouth
through Exeter, to London, on the one han.l, and to Plymouth and
connected with the
the South Coast on the other; and it will alio
railways and canals already existing in Cornwall, .4,A by branches,
with all the most important towns in that county and -Lle North 01
Devon. It is also intended that the line shall be the best in e:Zsineer-
ing qualities which the natural formation of the country will ai:Ow•
and that the formidable difficulties, which induced the Board of Trade
to report to Parliament against the late Cornwall and Devon Ccatral
line, shall be avoided.
This scheme has a decided advantage over any other at present
proposed for giving to Cornwall the benefits of railway communica-
tion, and is the only line which can with certainty effect the object ‘1
to which the county became pledged, by the resolution of the 20th of
August last—no other line affords " direct, central, safe and con-
tinuous railway communication from Falmouth and Penzance to
London." The Cornwall and Devon Central Railway will not en-
sure a continuous line from Falmouth to London, until three other
independent Companies shall have succeeded in obtaining their
Bills ' • and these projected lines have also to contend against the op-
position of through and integral lines from London to Exeter. The
West of England below Exeter, is obviously the country of the
broad gauge, and there is no probability that Parliament will sanction
the introduction of any other gauge into that district, which would be
productive of endless confusion and inconvenience. With the South
Devon line on the one hand, the projected North Devon line on the
other, the Exeter and Crediton and its projected extension westward
to Hatherleigh, and the West Cornwall line from Truro to Penzance,
all on the broad gauge, and all projected or supported by the
Great Western, and its associated Companies—there can be
little doubt that no narrow gauge line will he permitted to run
parallel with those already sanctioned by the legislature, or proposed
for the further accommodation of the country by such influential
companies. In order fully to comply with the expressed wishes of
tile county of Cornwall and to secure that "direct, central, safe, and
continuous railway communication" so much required, the present
line has been projected, and will, when completed, form the Central
link of the great series of lines already under the direction of the
Great Western, and the other associated Companies. It is therefore
confidently presumed that no other scheme for connecting Cornwall
and West Devon .with the Metropolis, and the North of England,
can compete with the present line with any probability of success,
presenting as this line does the prominent points of national and local
advantage, and possessing all the elements essential to command the
favourable consideration of Parliament.
As a work of national importance, it has been long admitted that a
line o f railway to the important Port of Fahnouth must be carried
out ; the promoters of this railway do not, therefore, think it neces-
sary to repeat the here the highly satisfactory results of the traffic
over the line, which were long since ascertained. It is sufficient to
say, they prove an ample return on the capital to be invested.
The survey is in progress, and will be completed in time to apply to
Parliament in the ensuing Session ; and the promoters having already
received highly satisfactory assurances of support, as well local as
general, feel justified in expressing their conviction that their appli-
cation will be crowned with success.
The capital will be divided into 50,000 shares of 251. each, upon
which a deposit of 21. 12s. 6d. per share must be paid upon the allot-
ment. Power will be taken to pay interest on the deposit, and all
calls till the line is opened ; and no subscriber will be liable for more
than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then
not beyond the amount of his subscription.
Preference will be given, in the allotment, to landowners, to local
applicants, and to parties holding shares in the Great Western, Bristol
and Exeter, Exeter and Crediton, North Devon, and West Cornwall
Railways.
Applications for shares, in the form annexed, to be addressed to
the Solicitors of the Company ; or to any respectable brokers in town
or country.
