In pursuance of the new Standing Orders of the House of Lords.
This line is projected for the purpose of affording a direct communi-
cation between the two great ports mentioned in its title, and to effect
this purpose it is proposed to commence at Devizes, which by other
projects is about to be placed in connexion with Bath and Bristol. It
will then pass in a south-easterly direction through or near and
giving a communication to the populous and important towns of Lud-
gershall, Andover, Whitchnrch, Basingstoke (where the Southampton
Railway has a station), Offilaam, and Farnham to Godalming. Here
it will form a junction with other lines, which will complete the
communication to the Reigate station of the London and Dover Rail-
way ; or, should it be necessary, in consequence of the failure of any
of the projected railways in this locality, the present project will
itself be extended to Dorking and Reigate, at which latter point the
Brighton Railway is united with the Dover.
A prospectus, containing the names of a powerful Committee and
the officers, will be ready in a few days ; and in the meantime fur-
ther particulars may be obtained and applications for shares received
at the temporary offices, 6, Liverpool-street, Broad-street, London.

This Line, which, subject to the decision of the Gauge Commis-
sioners, will be constructed on the Broad Gauge principle, will com-
mence at the Worcester Station of the Great Eastern and Western
Railway, and, proceeding by Redditch and Henley-hi:Arden, will
touch Warwick and Leamington, and end at Rugby, the terminus of
the Midland Counties Railway and of the proposed Rugby and Hunt-
ingdon Junction Railway. It will communicate with Droitwich;
Studley, Alcester, arid Stratford-on-Avon.
At Warwick, it will unite with the Birmingham and Oxford Junc-
tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon-
don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway ; and at
Rugby, with the London and Birmingham, the Midland Counties,
and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railways.
The country through which it will pass, is thickly populated, and
of the richest description. It presents no engineering difficulties, and
from its population, its manufactures, and agricultural produce, it
possesses sources of sueh abundant traffic as to render it highly re-
munerative to the capitalists.
The object proposed is to complete the line of railway communica-
tion between the Western, Midland, and Eastern portions :of the
Kingdom, and a glance at the Map of England will show that this
will be effected in, the most direct manlier by the present line; touch-
ing, as it will, at one of its termini, a railway running direct from
Swansea to Worcester, and at the other, the projected line from
Rugby to Huntingdon—from which point a railway communication
has been already provided.
By means of this Railway, the manufactures of all the towns and
the agricultural produce of the country contained within its range,
as well as the Ports on the Eastern and North-Eastern Coast, will
have opened to them a direct and unbroken communication with
the great and densely-populated mineral fields of South Wales, as well
as the markets of the Northern portion of the principality.
To the population along the line as well as to the Midland and
Northern portious of he kingdom, this undertaking will present the
most direct communication with those towns of fashionable resort—
Leamington and Cheltenham. To the inhabitants of Leamington
and Was wick, it will open the most direct communication with the
city of Worcester and South Wales, whilst to the inhabitants of
Worcester, it will open the markets of the Eastern portions of the'
country.
The Shareholders in the several railways proposed to be joined or
intersected, will leave a preference in the allotment of shares in this
undertaking.
No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the Act is
obtained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at four
pounds per centum on all calls from the time of their respective
payments, and to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount
of their subscription.

The line of Railway intended to be constructed by this Company
Newport, Donn] n
will commence at or near Norton Bridge (a station of the Grand
Junction Railway), in the county of Stafford, and proceed from
thence by Eccleshall, Offiey, Norbery, Forton,
Wood, Oaken Gates, Priors Lee, Stirchley, Dawley, Madeley, and
Iron Bridge, to Coalbrook-dale ; there, crossing the proposed "
Wor-
cester and Crewe Railway," it will pass along the slope of Wenlock-
edge, by Rushbury and Eaton-under-Haywood, to Wistanstow, in
the county of Salop, where it will run into, and forma junction ;YUJI
the carriage of coal from the Shropshire
the " Shrewsbury, Hereford, and North Wales Railway..
The line will traverse a rich mineral district, and will have a secure
and extensive traffic by
coal-field, to a depot proposed to be formed at Wistanstow, for the
and also from whence it will be conveyed by the " Hereford, Shrews'
bury, and North Wales Railway," Into Montgomeryshire and the
-
neighbouring counties, where coal does not exist.
It 1
-- is impossible to
calculate the extent to which this traffic may be carried, as by the
direct railway communication thus opened between the Shropshire
coal-field, and the important manufacturing, towns of Newtown
and Llaniclloes, the price per ton will be reduced one-half at
those places, and the flannel manufacturers, now depend-
ing
upon water power, will, by the cheapness of coal, be
enabled to employ steam, and to extend their trade in proportion to
the great demand which exists for the Welsh flannels,
In preference
to any other. The importance of this subject will have its due weight
with those who so often witness the bad effects upon the trade caused
by the stoppage of tee mills from an insufficiency of water. '
A considerable amount of tonnage is now incurred by the Shron-
shire irontnasters,f or the conveyance of lime-stone from the neigh-
bourhood of Much Wenlock to the furnaces, by several transits of
land and water carriage, whereas the proposed railway will convey
it direct into the heart of the works, and at one-third of the expense.'
By its junction with the " Grand Junction'
and the " Hereford
and Shrewsbury" Railways, this line will form a direct communica-
tion between Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, York and Hull, and
may
portant rl. Swansea and South Wales. as it will such im
As a junction line alone
(conn be depended upon, but whenai it
ways), s large passenger traffic may
is considered that the centre of the line passes through a densely-
populated mining district, and the remainder through a thriving
agricultural neighbourhood, it will be obvious that a sufficient local
traffic exists to pay a highly remunerative interest on the amount of
capital required to be embarked.
The line, which will not interfere with any property of an orna
mental or costly character, will not exceed 46 miles in length, and
against the measure.
will be constructed at much less than the average cost.
Such important local co-operation has been secured, that no oppo-
sition is anticipated or can be sustained
The liability of the Shareholders wnl.be limited, by the Act, to the
amount of their sui',.. ,cription to the capital stock ; and power will be
applied for to allow interest at the rats of • four per cent. per annum

This short brit very important Lino of Railway will commence at
the nearest point on the Trent Valley Railway to the City of Lich-
field, and proceed through n rich and populous country, by Shenstone,
Sutton Coldficld, and Erdington, to the town of Birmingham.
The length of the Line will be only about sixteen miles, and a
glance at the map will suffice to show the very numerous advan-
tages which this Railway offers. The projected " South Union Rail-
way," from Manchester, joins or falls into the Trent Valley Railway
just below Lichfield, and, proceeding along the Trent Valley Line,
via Tamw•orth and Rugby, will form the shortest and most direct
route from Manchester to Landon, but will leave Birmingham on the
west, which can only be reached by the circuitous route through
Tamworth, a distance of twenty-five miles.
The proposed Birmingham and Lichfield Railway will effect an ex-
tension of the South Union, North Staffordshire, and other projected
Railways, from Lichfield in a direct Line to Birmingham, and thus
save no less than nine miles in the twenty-five, and constitute the
shortest and'o3st ne between Manchester and Birmingham yet de-
vised.

As to the retuins to be expected for the capital embarked, it is
sufficient to mention, that in addition to the very large income aris-
ing from the local passenger and goods traffic (the latter of which is
very great, as most of the agricultural supplies of Birmingham, the
emporium of the Midland Counties, and its densely populated neigh-
bourhood, are derived from the vicinities of, and must pass along this
Line), every passenger direct from Manchester to Birmingham must
necessarily proceed along the projected Railway, should either of the
lines from Manchester to Lichfield be made.

This line will also form the nearest route from Derby and the
North to Birmingham.
The Capital proposed to be raised is 300,0001., in 15,000 shares of
201. each. A deposit of 21. 2s. per Share will be required to be paid
upon the allotment, to the credit of the Directors with the Bankers
of the Company.
No call will be made until the Act of Parliament shall be obtained,
and power will be taken in the Act to allow Interest at 41. per cent.
per annum, upon the amount of each call, from the date of payment
until the opening of the line, and Subscribers will not be answerable
beyond the amount of their Shares.
The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract, which
shall contain a clause empowering the Directors to amalgamate with
any other Railway now formed, or to be formed, to extend or make
Branch Lines, or transfer, mortgage, or dispose of the present un-
dertaking for the benefit of the Company, as they may deem proper,
will be ready on the day fixed for the payment of deposit, and will
be required to be executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged
for certificates of Scrip ; and the shares of any Subscribers making
default In the execution of those deeds within the time limited, of
which fourteen days' notice will be given, will be absolutely forfeited.
No application for shares can be attended to, unless accompanied
by a reference to a member of the Provisional Committee, one of the
Solicitors, Agents, or a Banker.
Forms of application for shares, copies of the prospectus, and a
map of the line, may be obtained at the temporary offices of the
