• London, November 7, 1845.
The Acting Committee of the Great Eastern and Western Railway
Company have much satisfaction. in informing the Proprietors that'
they have concluded an arrangement with the Great Western 'Com-
pany, the South Wales, Vale of Neath, and Worcester, Hereford,
and ' Glencestet dompanies, by which an Amalgamated Broad
Gauge Scheme for completing the ' rail Way communication with the
Dlikeral Districts of- South Wales will be submitted to Parliament
with their united support.. *.
The Acting Committee of the Great Eastern and Western Com-
pany have felt that,_ amidst the conflicting interests around thorn, it
was their duty to look father t 6 the security of their Proprietors than
to the absolute integrity of their original plan ; but having secured ,
its virtual integrity by-obtaining ft•slisre• in the capital, awl a repro-
sentati on at the boards of the two Companies by which parts of
the work will be executed, they feel confidant that their Proprietors
• will approve an arrangement by which much useless er.pcnse —,!.1!
be avoided, and the probability cf obtaining the sanction of Parlia-
ment to thegen'eral plan materially - increased, whilst a continuous
interest in the line from Neath to Worcester is preserved.
They have only tsadd dhat, as regards money, they aro fully pre-
pared to meet Parliament. and that they .have received the most
cenildent assurances fcoin their engineer and their solicitors that
nothing can interfere with the deposit of their plans, sections, and
books of reference, within the *time prescribed by the standing
orders.' " " • By order, •

This railway will connect the east and west coasts, and form a
direct route from the ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood-on-Wyre, and
Lancaster, to Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Commencing at Lancaster, it
will proceed up the valley of the Lune, by Kirkby Lonsdale, Sedbergh,
and Kirkby Stephen, and thence by the most practicable line to New-
castle. It will run nearly parallel with the old coach road, which.
has hitherto been the principal passenger route from Lancaster to
Newcastle.
It will readily be conceded that great • benefits will flow from a
direct railway communication between the coal-fields and mining
districts of Durham and Northumberland; and the important towns
and ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood, Newcastle, and Lancaster.
The entire length of the line is rich in mineral productions—coal
slate, limestone, marble, and other elements of a great local traffic
abound, and cannot fail to make this ono of the most remunerative
projects of the day. A considerable saving of distance between the
important towns on the termini is effected over any existing er pro-
jected scheme.
It will be reserved to the Committee of Management to make such
alterations in the line, or the amount of capital required, or other-
wise, as may be deemed most advantageous to the interests ithe
Company. Power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate
of four per cent. on the calls from the passing of the Act to the
opening of the line, as well as to limit the liability of the shareholders
to the amount of their subscriptions only.
Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be had of the
Solicitors, and of the following brokers :
Messrs. Peppercorne, Old Broad-street, City, London; Messrs. Jos.
King and Son, and Mr. Robt. Cardwell and Son, Manchester ; Messrs.
