The Directors have to congratulate the shareholders of the Lei-
cester and Tamworth Junction, and of the Coventry, Nuneaton, Bir-
mingham, and Leicester Railway Companies, on the union of inte-
rests which ha. been effected by the amalgamation of the two Com-
panies under the title of " The Leicester, Tamworth, Coventry,
Birmingham, and Trent Valley Junction Railway Company," whereby
such an accession of strength has been obtained as to ensure a
suce,ssful issue to their application to Parliament during the next
session.

fly this arrangement the shareholders in each Company are en-
titled to exchange the shares they now held in the separate Com-
panies for a like number in the united Company, or at their option to
receive back the full amount of their deposits.
One branch of this railway will commence at or near the Wigton
station, near Leicester, on the Midlands Railway, whore it will unite
with the proposed South Midland Railway, thereby opening a com-
munication with Market Harboroush, Northamptonshire, Bedford-
shire, and the south, and will proceed through Hinckley and Nun-
eaton to Coventry, forming a junction with the Trent Valley Rail-
way at Nuneaton,
_ _ _

Another branch will proceed from the Midlands Railway at
Leicester, by Market Bosworth to Atherstone, where it will unite
with the Trent Valley Railway.
Surve••s for the proposed extension to Birmingham are in a state of
great forwardness. . _

The objects embraced by the Company as now constituted are
threefold :

First—To effect a direct communication between Leicester and
Liverpool, by means of the junction with the Trent Valley Railway
at or near itherstone, thereby effecting a saving in distance of 30
miles.

Secondly—To afford the most direct communication between
Leicester, Birmingham, and the iron districts of Staffordshire, by
means of a junction with the Birmingham and Derby Railway at the
Whiteacre station, thereby reducing the distance between Birming-
ham and Leicester from 49 to 35 miles. . _

Thirdly—To connect the important towns of Coventry, Bosworth,
Nuneaton, Hinckley, and Leicester by the nearest practicable line,
thereby reducing the distance between Coventry and Leicester seven
miles, and affording railway accommodation to the important manu-
facturing and mineral districts of South Leicestershire and North
Warwickshire, and also communicating, by means of the Coventry
branch of the London and Hirminghatn Railway, with Leamington,
and by means of the projected Warwick and Cheltenham Railway
with Cheltenham.

The proposed line will afford an outlet, by means of a branch to
the Leicester and Swannington Railway, for the coal, lime, and other
mineral productions of Leicestershire, to the districts south and
west of Leicester.

The four important towns of Leicester, Coventry, Tamworth, and
Birmingham. containing a population of upwards of 300,000, will
be brought by this railway into immediate connexion.
The country has been carefully surveyed, and the Parliamentary
plans and sections are nearly perfected.
