W EST :METROPOLITAN and HUN GI
RAILWAY TERMINUS COMPANY.
The public is informed that arrangements are in progress for the
formation of a Company for the purpose of establishing a General
Railway Terminus on the site of ilungerford-market and wharf, by
adapting the Suspension-foot-bridge as a means of transit for the
railway carriages into the market. The proprietors of the market
and the bridge are the only persons whose property will be required
for the purpose, and those Companies are favourably, disposed to a
scheme so manifestly advantageous to their interest. The situa-
tion of the proposed station is unequalled ; and, as remarked by the
Board of Trade in their report of schemes for facilitating the ap-
proach to the metropolis, it will afford the most superior London
terminus.
A prospectus, with further details, will shortly be issued.

,TEST METROPOLITAN AND HUNGER-
FORD-MARKET RAILWAY TERMINUS COMPANY.
In reply to the caution put forward by the London Central Railway
Terminus Company, stating "that the Bridge and Market Companies
being separate interests, the latter Company cannot carry out their
project without the full concurrence of the Hungerford-bridge Com-
pany," it is proper to state that the Hungerford-market Company
and its Proprietors are holders of more than one-third of the Hunger-
ford-bridge shares ; that the area of the market property is amply
sufficient for all the purposes of a terminus ; is unequalled in its loca-
lity and approaches for railway purposes; and, as remarked by the
Board of Trade, in their report of schemes for facilitating the ap-
proaches to the Metropolis—" it will afford the most superior London
terminus." The market property, from its construction, will require
but a comparatively small outlay to adapt it for a railway terminus ;
probably, not more than one-third of the capital proposed to be raised
by the London Central Railway Terminus Company ; and one of the
many advantages which the scheme of the West Metropolitan and
Hungerford-market Railway Terminus possesses is, that it will not
have to encounter the great uncertainty and expense of such an op-
position as must inevitably attend the project of the London Central
Railway Terminus, which clearly cannot be carried into effect with-
out interfering, in the most serious manner, with the interests and
roperty of the nungerford-market Company, as well as numerous
individual interests. The proposed West Metropolitan and Hunger-
ford-market Railway Terminus will, on the contrary, only have to
snake arrangements with the Bridge Company.

ENGINEER—J. K. Brunel, Esq.,

The important line of railway proposed to be constructed by this
Company will commence at Shrewsbury, and will proceed from
thence by way of Church Stretton, Ludlow, and Leominster, to Here-
ford, and a Branch will leave the line at or near the Craven Arms,
and be carried by Bishop's Castle, to the populous manufacturing
town of Newtown. in Montgomeryshire.
The intended railway will form, by a Junction at Hereford, with
the Hereford and Monmouth line, the link requisite to complete the
great chain of railway communication from north to south, on the
western side of England ; and, by the branch to Newtown, will com-
mand the extensive traffic of North Wales and Cardiganshire, and
will open this valuable district in the most direct course, to London
and to the south, as also to the north of England, and will ultimately
form a portion of a great line from London to Dublin.
It will likewise form the nearest route from the North of England,
Manchester, Liverpool, the town of Birkenhead, Chester, Holyhead,
Ireland, and North Wales, via Shrewsbury, to Worcester, Chelten-
ham, Gloucester, South Wales, Bristol, Bath, the South-Western
Counties, Exeter, Plymouth, and Falmouth ; and will be a direct line
line into the centre of Wales, from the Northern and Midland Coun-
ties : thus the coal and minerals, and the iron works of Staffordshire
and Shropshire, the manufactures of Lancashire, the salt works of
Cheshire and Worcestershire, and the agricultural produce of the
north, of the Valley of the Severn, of Herefordshire, and Wales, will
have a rapid and cheap transit, with the advantage of a return of im-
ported articles, to the Ports of Lancashire, Cheshire, Gloucestershire,
Devonshire, and Cornwall.
The Shares in the capital stock of this Company have been appro-
priated, and the Letters of Allotment will be issued Tills DAT, Satur-
day, the 31st day of May instant.
The Provisional Committee of Directors regret that the very
numerous applications have compelled them to limit the number ap-
propriated to each person, and precluded the possibility of an allot-
ment to a large body of highly respectable applicants. The Com-
mittee request this announcement may be received as an apology
by those to whom letters have not been addressed.
