This railway Is proposed to commence at Cambridge, to proceel
in a direct line to Northampton, and take its course, by Fenny
Compton, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Alcester, to Worcester.
By its junction with the Northern and Eastern Railway at Cam-
bridge, the London and York Railway near St. Neots, the Leicester end
Bedford or South Midland and London and Birmingham Railways,
near Northampton, the Oxford and Rugby and the proposed Oxford and
Birmingham, or Warwickshire and London Railways, at Fenny
Compton, -the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway at Stratford-upon-
Avon, the Oxfcrd, Worcester, and Wolverhampton near Wor-
cester, and the proposed lines into Wales from that city ; this rail-
way will connect Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, and the impor-
tant towns of Yarmouth, Harwich, Norwich, Ipswich, Bury St. Ed-
mund's, Lynn, and Cambridge, with the towns and counties of Bed-
ford, Northampton, Rugby, Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, Banbury,
Oxford, Southampton, Coventry, Leamington, Warwick, Birming-
ham, Worcester, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Tewkesbury, Kiddermin-
ster, Wolverhampton, Liverpool, Manchester, Bristol, Hereford,
Somerset, South Wales, and the South of Ireland. In short this
railway will complete the chain of communication from the east to
all parts of England. It will also be the most direct route from
London to Warwick, Leamington, Worcester, Hereford, Kiddermin-
ster, Stourbridge, Bromsgrove, Droitwich, and Wales. Connecting
a very pcpulous district entirely destitute ofrailway accommodation ;
opening, too, a direct communication between extensive manufactur-
ing, mineral, and agricultural districts, and the best and largest coal
fields in the kingdom, thereby considerably reducing the present high
price of coals, particularly in the eastern counties. This line must not
only be of great public and local advantage, but also insure traffic
and passengers, and goods amply remunerative as an investment.
The survey made itroves the line to be easy of construction, and
free from engineering difilculties.
The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow
interest at 41. per cent, per annum on the deposits, as well as on all
future calls, from the date of the passing of the Act till the opening
of the railway.
