This railway is proposed to commence at Cambrid;c, to proceed
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
Birni.ii_hatn, or Warwickshire and London Railways, at Fenny
Compton, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway at Stratford-upon-
Avon, the Oxford, 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 Part; of England. It will also be the most direct route from
Lon,lon 't.o Warwick, Leamington, Worcester, Hereford, Kiddermin-
sbr, Stourbridge, Bromsgrove, Droitwich, and Wales. Connecting
a Very p.:,palorts district entirely destitute of railway accommodation ;
01)ening,-t,o; 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
1 l
price or coals, particularly in the eastern counties. This line must not
only
grey public and local advantage, but also insure traffic
audt:l,,eugers, and goods amply remunerative as an Investment.
The survey male proves the line to be easy Of construction, and
freofrom engineering difficulties.

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
