The Directors think it desirable to state that they sometime
since instructed Mr. Stephenson to prepare for Parliament in the
next session a complete system for supplying railway communi-
cation with the whole of Kent. It is proposed to provide direct lines to
Tunbridge, ➢faidstone, Gravesend. Rochester, Chatham, Faversham,
Canterbury, and Dover. The llarVeys have been for some weeks in
progress, and the whole scheme will be very shortly in a complete
state. JOIIN KIRKLAND, Chairman.

This railway is intended to connect the South Wales Railway at
Chepstow with Gloucester, Cheltenham, and Birmingham, with the
projected Cheltenham, Oxford (and London direct), Gloucester, and
Aberystwith, Northampton and Cheltenham, and Manchester and
Southampton Railways ; thus forming an uninterrupted line of com-
munication from the South of Ireland, through Fishgard and Milford
in Pembrokeshire, to Gloucester, Cheltenham, Oxford, and London
direct, Southampton, Birmingham Manchester, Liverpool, and the
North of England, by a less circuitous route than can be effected by
any of the projected plans for crossing the Severn below Gloucester,
thereby avoiding the difficulties which must necessarily be encoun-
tered in such an undertaking, and affording the important towns and
districts upon the intended lines that accommodation which their im-
portance entitles them to.
The whole of the traffic upon the South 'Wales line passing to the
Eastward of Chepstow will be carried on this lino ; added to which
the coal and mineral traffic ttom the Forest of Dean (which, from
the Eastern side to Gloucester, has been estimated upon authentic
documents and information, at upwards of 300,000 tons ; and from
the Western or Lydney and Chepstow side the same amount of traffic
may safely be calculated upon), amounting to 600,000 tons per an-
num (the produce of the Forest alone). must be carried upon the line,
independent of the local passenger traffic and an extended trade in
the produce of the Forest, which will necessarily follow the facilities
offered by the proposed railroad.

-The revenue fiom this source alone will give a very handsome di•
vidond upon the capital to be expended, which is expected will not
exceed three-fourths of the intended capital,

It is proposed to make branches to the Collieries and Iron Works
in the Forest, to the present or any new Porta which may suggest
themselves on the Severn; and to make the River Wye, at Chep-
stow, the port of foreign export, where vessels of any size can enter
free from the dangers and difficulties attendant upon the navigation
of the Severn, consequent upon the rocks and shifting sands in that
river. _ _ _

It is intended to build a bridge across the Severn at Gloucester,
which will in no way obstruct the navigation; and the proposed
Gloucester and Aberystwlth Company will no doubt be ready to joie
this Company in the expense, if' they obtain their Act. The cost of
the intended line from Chepstow to Gloucester, including the bridge
at Gloucester, and the one over the River
the South Wales, with branches to the Collieries, Iron Works, and '
the Severn, is not expected to exceed 450,0001., but it is intended to
provide a capital of 600,0001. to meet any contingencies which play
arise. Wye, at Chepstow, to join
A reference to the map will show the self-evident importance of
this line as essential to the perfecting the great project of the South

Gloucester, and making it the direct road to London, via Cheltenham
Wales Railway Company (who have obtained their Act of Perna-
and Oxford, for effecting which projects are now before the public
with most influential support. The line is twenty-six miles in
length, has no engineering difficulties; the gradients and curves are
extremely good, and works light.
It may with very great confidence be asserted that there is
scarcely a short line of railrotul in the kingdom which offers
greater advantages to the Shareholders than the present. Pro-
vision will be made in the Act of Parliament which will be appliCel
for In the next Session to limit jhe liability of the Shareholder
to the amount of his Shares, and to allow rem. per cent. ou the

A direct communication from Yarmouth to the Metropolis is of
the utmost importance to the port and trade of Yarmouth. The pre-
sent route by the Norwich and Yarmouth and Norwich and Brandon
Railways, now called the Norfolk Railway, conveys the Yarmouth
traffic to London round by Brandon, Ely, and Cambridge, to join the
Northern and Eastern Railway—a distance of 146 miles. The ter-
minus of the Norfolk Railway at Yarmouth is acknowledged to be
most Inconvenient for the London trade, and the claims which it has
upon Yarmouth are confined to the communication with Norwich
and the western and north-western districts. A very large traffic
exists between Yarmouth, Lowestoft, Beccles, Bungay, Halesworth,
Harlestone, and Dies ; and also between all those important towns
and Bury St. Edmund's, Stowmarket, Ipswich, and London. To
'lmply the wants of these districts the Waveney Valley and Yar-
mouth Railway is designed ; and it will shorten the distance between
Yarmouth and London twenty-four miles.
It is intended to construct the terminus upon the best site as near
to Yarmouth-bridge as practietble. The line will communicate with
the quays, so as to take goods from the vessels on the river without
transhipment or immediate carriage, thus saving considerable ex-
pense. This railway will run to the own of Beccles, thence to Bun-
gay (with a branch to Halesworth), to Harleston, and Diss, commu-
nicating there with the Eastern Union Extension Railway, and by
means of that line to Stowmarket, Bury, Ipswich, Colchester, Chelms-
ford, and London. At Diss the railway will be within three miles
of the important market town of Eye, to which a branch may be ad-
vantageously constructed. In its course to Beccles it will cross the
Lowestoft and /teedham line, and will afford the shortest communi-
cation from Lowestoft to London. The whole length of the main
line will not exceed thirty-three miles, and the branch to Hales-
worth will be about nine miles. The population of the district
through which it runs, taking the parishes within three miles of the
line, is upwards of 100,000, according to the last census. The valley
is one of the richest agricultural districts in England ; it produces
large crops of grain, and abounds with rich pasturage, a very largo
portion of the barley is malted at Ilarlestone, Halesworth, Bungay,
and Beccles, and supplied to'the large London brewers.
The export of corn and flour from Yarmouth exceeds that of any
port in the kingdom, the average being yearly 435,690 quarters.
70,000 tons of goods and 173,485 tons of coals are annually im-
ported into Yarmouth to supply the wants of the district.
There are 574 registered vessels, comprising a tonnage of
50,375, belonging to Great Yarmouth, and 3,400 ships yearly enter
that port.
Upwards of 100 vessels are employed in the mackerel fishery, and
200 in the herring fishery ; the capital employed in these trades ex-
ceeds half a million of money.
In addition to the above, very many other fishing craft are em-
ployed in catching turbot, soles, cod, haddock, whitings, shrimps, &c.,
the greater part of which are sent to London ; and, as the fishing
banks of the North Sea present an inexhaustible supply of these com-
modities, and the metropolis an almost boundless market for cheap
and good fish, it may confidently be expected that the immediate
and permanent effect of a quick transit between the two places will
be a vast increase in this branch of traffic ; and it is anticipated that
large quantities of Scotch salmon will be landed at Yarmouth, to
avoid the tedious passage between this part of the coast and the
metropolis.
An immense quantity of live stock is sent from-the district of this
railway to London, which, in the event of this line being made,
must pass upon it.
Yarmouth is increasing extensively as the watering-place of the
eastern coast. A great number of houses have recently been erected,
to accommodate the requirements of visitors during the season, and
many others of a first class are now in course of building.
The traffic on this line of road has been taken, and is estimated to
produce, independently of the fish carriage, a return of £39,483 0 0

being twenty-four miles shorter than the route by the present Norfolk
Railway.
The traffic has been taken very moderately, and it 'nay be
fairly calculated that the amount will be very considerably increased
by increased trade (particularly in fish, cattle, and grain), when
the road is opened, and the facilities which railways afford are
developed to a country hitherto nnaccommodated with such ad-
vantages.
The line has been carefully surveyed, and no engineering difficulty
presents itself. It may be constructed very cheaply and speedily.
The WavencY Valley forms a natural level channel without a single
impediment ; and where the line leaves the valley he cuttings are
not heavy, and arc required for the necassary embankments in the
lower lands.
This railway is brought forward with the general concurrence and
approval of the country and towns through which it passes. It is
now the universal opinion that this line is absolutely required by the
district, and that without it the trade of this portion of the couatry
will materially suffer, and conSequently the value of property be
depreciated by the competition of those neighbouring towns to
which the great advantages of railway communication have been
granted.
Provision will be taken in the Act to allow four per cent. Interest
on the deposit ,and calls until the line is constructed.
Powers will be taken in the Act to drain the marsh lands of the
valley through which the line passes.

It is proposed, in the first instance, to make a railway from Callao,
the chief port, to Mina, the capital of Peru, the great marts of trade,
and general resort of the whole Peruvian nation ; and afterwards to
lay down such lines on the coast•of the Pacific as may be approved
of by the Shareholders at a general meeting.
The distance from Callao to .Lima is about seven English miles.
There is open ground all the war suited to receive the rails, the gra-
dient uniform, and no curves, with an abundant supply of water-
power, so that there will bo an entire saving of fuel. It is estimated
that the cost of, this lbw ,wlll not eqcceed 50,0001. ; and, when it is
considered that it will command the whole traffic Of passengers, and
Peruonveya of goods between the chief port and the capital of
, it may fairly be assumed that the undertaking will be one of
unusual profit.
Should the operations of the Company be confined to the line be-
tween Callao and Lima, no Ihrther portion of the capital will be called
for than may be sufficient to construct that line.
