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 whol, of Kent. It is proposed to provide direct lines to
Tunbridge, Maidstone, Gravesend, Rochester, Chatham, Faversham,
Canterbury, and Dover. The surveys have been for some weeks in
progress, and the whole scheme will be very shortly in a complete
state. JOHN KIRKLAND, Chairman.

This railway is Intended to connect the South Wales Railway at •
Chepstow with Gloucester, Cheltenham, and Birmingham, with the ,
projotted Cheltenham, Oxford (and London direct), Gloucester, an
Aberystwith; Northampton and Cheltenham, and Manchester and ,
Southampton Railways ; thus forming an unnterrupted line of corn-
munication from the South of Ireland, through Fishgard and Milford •
in t embrokeshire, to Gloucester, Cheltenham, Oxfurd, and Loudon
direct, southempton, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and the •
North of Eve:livid, by a less circuitous route than can be effected by
a.,:c of the.projicted plans sir crossing the Severn btlow G otieeeter.
thereby avoiding tit, difficulties which must neceswily tie eIICOIIII-
- in sn. h ai undertaking, and .ffording the Wiwi:tut owns and
diSirlelS upon the intended lines that ace mntodatioa which their lin-
volute entitles them to.
Ths ishole of the traffic upon the South Wales line passim to the
Fastward an Chepstow will be carried on this line ; added to which
tit, coal and mitten; traffic from the k erestor Beab (which, from
tits tiasterit side to Gloucester, has been estimated upon authentic
doeumants and intbrination, at upwards of 3(5,000 tons; and trent
fist ci-estei it or Lydney and Chetist, w stile the same antoant of traffic '
TOT, slier} he calculated upon), amounting to 600,000 tons per an-
num (tin- probe* of the Forest alone), must be carried upon the line,
indepsndent of the local pasesnger traffic and an extended trade In
the produce of the Forest, which will necessarily follow the facilities
offered by the prioxtsed railroad.
The revenue from this source alone will give a very handsome di-
vidend neon the capital to be expended, which is expected will not
exceed •three-fourths of the intended capital.
It is propoied to make branches to th Collieries and Iron Works
in the Force:, to the present or any new Ports which may suggest
themselves on the Severn ; and to snake the River Wye, at Chep-
stow, the port of foreign export, where vessels of any size can enter
free Mini 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 Aberystwith Company will no doubt be ready to joie
this Company in the expense, if they obtain their Act. The cost of
the intended line Irons Chepstow to Gloucester, including the bridge
at Gloucester, and the one over the Itiver Wye, at Chepstow, to join
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 may
arise.
A. reference to the map will show the self-evident importance of
this line its essential to the perfecting the great project of the South
Wafts Railway Company (who have obtained their Act of Parlia-
meut for a railroad from Fishguard and Milford Haven to Chepstow)
atindeoonijuoeredt:ng it with the principal railways of the kingdont, at
Gloucester, an 1.,
d making it the direct road to ndon, via Cheltenham
for effecting which projects are now before the public
with most influential suppon. The line is twenty-six miles in
length, has no engineering difficulties • the gradients and turves are
extremely good, and works light.
It may with very great confidence be asserted, that there is
scarcely a short line of railroad in the kingdom which offers
greater advantages to the Shareholders than the present. Pro-
vis on will be made in the Act of Parliament which will be applied
for In the next Session to limit the liability of the Shareholder
to the amount of his Shares, and to allow four per cent. on the
Applications for Shares to be made to the Solicitors, or to
Messrs. Carden and Whitehead, Threadneedle street, and Messrs.
Baekhouse and Co., No. 4, Angel Court, Throgmorton-street, Lon-
don ; Messrs. Hall, Brothers, and Co., Cheltenham ; Messrs. Tate

ARMY MOVEMSNTS.—:\rotiday morning the fol-
lowing alterations took place in the stations of the three regi-
ments of hou.ehold infantry. The first battalion of Fusilier
Guards, Colonel Drummond, marched from the Wellington
Barracks, Sr.James's perk, to St. John's wood Barracks.
'
The second battalion of Fu-ilier Guards, under Colonel Col-
ville, mar hod from St. George's Barracks, Charing-cross, to
the terminus of the South-Western Railway, in order to pro-
ceed to Winchester. The first battslion of Grenadier Guards,
Colonel Lascelles, from Sr. John's-wood Bar acks to the Wel-
lington, St. James's Park. The second battalion Grenadier
Guards, Captain Bolder°, from the Tower to the terminus of
the Great Western Railway, to proceed to the barracks at
Windsor. The third hsttalien Grenadier Guardi, Colonel
Fergusson, marched from Portman-street Barracks to St.
George's Barracks, Charing-cross. The first battalion of
Coldstream Guards came from Windsor to the Tower ; and
the second battalion of the same regiment from Winchester to
Portman-street Barracks. The railways are found of great
convenience on these occasions, from the rapidity with which
the changes are effected.
GIFT OF A SILVERYOUNTAIN TO MEHEMET ALI.—
The magnificent silver Puntain, manufactured in London, at
the expense o the East India Company, for the Pachalif
Egypt, was presented to his Highness on the 16th of August,
Company's agent in Alexan-
dria. The presentation
took place in the palace, where up-
by Captain Lyons, the East India
wards of sixty persons bad assembled to witness the ceremony.
His Highness appeared in excellent spirits, and much pleased
with the beauty and exquisite workmanship of the gorgeous
present. Some of the party who were present on the occasion
after wards partook of a dejeuner given by Captain Lyons. His
Highness has been pleased to give orders that admission shall
and that it shall remain here sufficiently
be given to all persons desirous of seeing this beautiful speci-
men of English art,
long to give every one in Alexandria an opportunity of seeing
it. We understand its ultimate destination is Cairo, but the
Pacha has not yet decided where he will have it erected. It is
scarcely necessary to add that crowds flock daily to the palace to
best their eyes on this splendid Etrutare.
