everywhere be light; no invasion of ornamental property is *mai-
sary; and the local interests have expressed themselves favourable to
the project:
From the combs advantages, facilities, and patronage
from the great breadth of new country to be supplied with railway
accommodation—moderate cost of labour on the line—enormous
supply of materials, and encouraging traffic returns—an interest of
ten per cent. on vested capital is confidently expected, exclusive of a
fair allowance for working expenses.
Power will be taken in the Bill to allow interest at the rate of four
per cent. on all deposits.
The plans and sections of the Lincoln, York, and Leeds Company,
being now in the possession of the promoters of this Company, an
immense saving of expense will thereby be secured.

lowing brokers :

COVENTRY, NUNEATON, BIRMINGHAM,
AND LEICESTER RAILWAY.
The Directors beg to announce to their Shareholders that in con-
sequence of important negotiations now in progress, they have
deemed it advisable to defer the publication of the amended pro-
spectus and new direction for a few days.
By order,
HENRY CASSIN, Secretary (pro tem.)

WARWICK AND CHELTENHAM
JUNCTION RAILWAY, via Stratford-on-Avon and
Evesham.

This Railway Company was formed and registered in March last,
its object being to complete the chain of railway communication from
the north-east to the south-west.
Commencing at Leamington it communicates with the London
and Birmingham Railway at its station between that town and
Warwick ; proceeding by Warwick to Stratford it will there join the
railway to Moreton-in-the-Marsh, and at Evesham connect with
the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton broad-gauge line, and
from Evesham it will proceed to Cheltenham.
It will thus form the most direct route to the two largest and most
fashionable inland watering-places, Leamington and Cheltenham ;
besides which it will materially shorten the distance by railway be-
tween Warwick, Coventry, Leicester, Melton, and the east, and
Worcester, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Tewkesbury, Bristol, South
Wales, and the west ; it will also furnish local accommodation to
new and important districts.

A considerable time having elapsed since the formation of the
Company, the Directors consider it to be their duty to inform the
Shareholders of their present position and prospects, and they have
now to report— . _

That their engineer has completed his survey of the line, which
not only proves to be free from any material difficulty, but is re-
markably easy of construction, going along the valley of the Avon
the greater part of the distance.

They have concluded arrangements with the promoters o fthe
Evesham Valley Railway, under which the projected Evesham Valley
Company is incorporated with this Company, and powerful local in-
fluence is thus secured.

They are also at the present time engaged in negotiations, which
they are sanguine will secure very influential co-operation, both
local and otherwise.

The Shareholders are doubtless aware of the great interest caused
by the question of the broad and narrow gauges situated between
and communicating with important lines constructed on both gauges ;
this subject must, of course, claim the serious consideration of the
Directors of this line. The various and, in some respects, conflicting
interests and circumstances connected therewith must be duly
weighed before a final decision can be arrived at.

The Directors have the satisfaction to state that everything is in
such a state of forwardness as to ensure all the preliminary stem
being taken in due time, and that they continue to have unabated
confidence in the capabilities and value of the line. Its cost of con-
struction will be much below the average, whilst its through traffic
in passengers, goods, and minerals, will be large, and its local
traffic between the towns of Leamington, Warwick, Stratford,
Evesham, and Cheltenham, and their rich agricultural neighbour-
hoods, will be such as of itself to secure a good return for the out-
lay incurred. These considerations must undoubtedly command a
favourable issue to their application to Parliament next session.
Signed by order of the Directors,
It. HARTLEY KENNEDY, Chairman.
