LEEDS AND CARLISLE RAILWAY
COMPANY.
The Committee of Management of this Company have much plea-
sure in laying before the Shareholders the following brief Report
from the Company's Engineer on the progress of the survey of the
line :

" Leeds and Carlisle Railway, London, Oct. 29, 1845.

" Sir,—ln reply to your letter of this aity, I have to request tbat
you will inform the Committee that I have just returned from a tour
over the line, and beg to report that the surveys for Parliament are-
proceeding very favourably; the whole of the ground survey will, I
fully expect, be completed this week or early in next; and abed one
half of the line is now being engraved, and the remainder will be in
the engraver's hands next week. The Wieners are proceeding with
the reference, and the finished levels for the Parliamentary sections-
are in progress, so that we fully, expect that the whole will be ready
about the third week of next month, in good time for the delimit.
The gradients, also, for the most part, will be favoniable, although
there will necessarily be some heavy work at the summit. " Theline
is laid out with a view to avoid' the ornamental property ; and, upon
the whole; we have been very successful, and the landowners, I
learn, are generally favourable.
"I am, sir, your most humble servant,
(Signed) "JOHN RENNIE.

The Committee may trust that the friendly negotiations which
they have entered into with other Companies will result to the mutual
advantage of all parties.
The Committee have great satisfaction in being enabled to state
that this Company, from its financial position, as well as the pPb-
gress'of the survey and notices, will be prepared to comply with thi
standing orders of Parliament, and proceed with the Bill this en-
suing session.

MANCHESTER AND MILFORD HAVEN
RAILWAY.

The Manchester and Birmingham Continuation and Welsh Junc-
tion Railway having been projected to traverse the same line of
country as the northern part of this line, the Committee have con-
sidered it to be for the benefit of the Shareholders to avoid any Par-
liamentary contest ; and have, accordingly, entered into an arrame-
ment for the entire amalgamation of the two Companies, on equal
terms.

In pursuance of this arrangement, the lino of the Manchester and
Milford Haven Railway will commence by a Junction with the other
line, near Llangerrig, ,instead of at Crewa. The capital is reduced
to 1,500,0001.; and a portion of the Shares have been granted to the
other Company. It has become necessary, therefore, to close the list
of applications ; and no application for Shares will be received after
WEDNESDAY NEXT, the sth day of November. except from landowners
and gentlemen locally interested.

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 be
about 56 miles.

The advantages that will result from the construction of this line
are numerous and highly important, and such as cannot fall 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, Gainsborough, 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
resort 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.
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 tea miles of the important city and pert 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 Inconvenience, and restore its trade to its former state of
prosperity.
The value of this line to the city and port of Gloucester cannot
be too highly estimated, as it will hot only open to it immenoe
sources of traffic from the 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
advance the interests of Gloucester, than one capable of effecting
that object.
The line will also form an important junction between the London

and Birmingham and Midlands Railwaye, and the Bristol and
Gloucester Railway, and constitute the highway for the traffic of the
former, and of all the north-eastern railways, to the proposed Man-
chester and Southampton Railway at Cheltenham; and the through
traffic from 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 that 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 priAlucts_ of the fertile valleys of the Avon
ant Severn, and the ag)icultural districts of Warwickshire and Wor-
cestershire, in the manufacturing towns and ports of the north.
iha 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
very great In addition to the through traffic, which on such a line
must necessarily be very extensive.
The Provisional Co'nmittce reserve to themselves the power to
amalgamate with any other conipany as to the whole or any part of
the line, and to vary or extent-the tine, and to increase or diminish
the capital accordingly, if deemed-expedient.
The capital proposed tb be raised is 1,000,000/., in shares of 201,
each, upt4l-ailiich a deposit-of 2/. 2s. per share mast be paid upon
allotment.
Theliability of the subscribers will'be limited by the Act to the
amount of their respective subscriptions to the capital stock, and
Power will ee applied for in the Act to allow interest at the rate of 41.
per cent.per annum on the amount of the deposit, and upon the respec-
tive calls, from the date of each payment until the opening of the line.
The Subscribers' Agrzement 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 absolutely forfeited.

line, may be obtained frozu the Solicitors, or, the Secretary, at the

AVON AND SEVERN VALLEY RAILWAY.
At a PUBLIC MEETING of the inhabitants of the borough of
Tewkesbury, held at the Town-hall, on Monday, the .27th October,
1845, convened by the Worshipful the Mayor, " For the purpose of
taking into considerstion the merits of such of the projected limes

Tewkesbury,"

The Worshipful the MAYOR in the Chair,
It was moved by B. RICKETTS, Esq., seconded by ANTHONY
SPaoULE, Esq.,—

vicinity. They are situate in the most beautiful county in Enr
land, and at the same time the most independent one, as k pos-
sesses within itself the necessary supplies for all human enjoyment.
The rivers abound lo salmon trout and other delicious fish ; the
woods and hills with every variety of game, not forgetting wood-
cocks (now just coming in) and grouse; and the verdant pastures
teed the finest breed of cattle and sheep; thus yielding, with the
produce of the fertile tillage land, and the luxuriant orchards and
gardens seen in every direction in this hiehly-favourcd county, a
plentiful supply for the gastronomic wants of the most fastidious
gourmand. Then we have every variety of fowset-trees—oak, elm.
ash, &c., in profusion; and an equal variety of native minerals in
the bosom of the earth, not forgetting those most useful ones o
iron, tin, coal, and limestone, and a little mine of gold for thf
fortunate purchasers of these desirable estates. Again, In no
county in Englard can the native scenery be surpassed in variety
and loveliness—hill and dale, wood and water, all together form in
every point of view an ensemble, in the happy arrangement of
which Dame Nature may be truly said to have exhausted her most
consummate skill, and if possible, almost to have surpassed herself.
Indeed, the timid hand that directs this unpretending and im-
perfect panegyric feels at a loss how to describe in sufficiently
glowing colours this charming locality ; •and to those Whe desire
duly to appreciate it a personal inspection becomes imperative, and
can alone suffice. To thiti end it may be added that railways com-
munication will very shortly bring this county within five hours'
ride of London; thus enabling the opulent, but care-worn citizen,
to resuscitate his constitution, and breathe a little fresh air, 4in the
luxuriant valleys and healthy uplands of Monmouthshire.
