The otlitct of this undertaking is to secure a superior terminus to
the railways which have recently been incorporated, or are projected
to the south of the City of Glasgow.
The Lfne will commence at a point on the Glasgow, Barrhead, and
Neilston Direct Railway, nearly one mile to the south of the City,
and will terminate at the River Clyde, near the site of the old Wheat
Sheaf Inn, and adjoining to the Church of Gorbals, with Branches
to the Clydesdale Junction and Monkland Direct Railway, or such
mint as may be deemed advisable.
The Line has been carefully surveyed, and the proposed capital is
amply sufficient ; and when it is considered that the terminus will
be at the moat suitable point between the atone bridge to be erected
at the foot of Stockwell-street, and the iron bridge to be erected at
the foot of Portland-street, and that it will be convenient to the
Post Office, to the new Arcade, and other :places of public resort
contemplated with a view to embellish the City and improve the ac-
cess to the Harbour, and that it will concentrate at this important
point the Railways to Pollockshaws, Barrhead, and NelistOn—Kil-
marnock, Irvine, Ardrossan, and Ayr—Strathaven, Lesmahagow,
and Carlisle—Rutherglen, Hamilton, Wishaw, and Lanark—not to
speak of the Lines of the Monklands, Lothians, and Edinburgh
hseif—there cannot be a doubt that, short though this Line be,
there are few likely to afford a more ample remuneration to the pro-
prietors.

- In allocating the Shares, a preference will be given to the Share
and Scrip holders of the Glasgow, Barrhead, and liellston Direct,
Clydesdale Junction, Glasgow, Kilmarnock, and Ardrossan, Glasgow,
Btrathaven, and Lesmahagow Direct, and Glasgow and Monklands
Direct Railways.

This Line, which, SUbject to the decision of the Gauge Commis-
sioners, will be constructed on tile Broad Gauge principle, will com-
mence at the Worcester Station of the Great Eastern and Western
"Railway, and, proceeding by Bedditch and Henley-in-Arden, will
truch Warwick nod Leamington, and end at Rugby, the terminus of
the-Midland (-bungee Railway and of the proposed Rugby and Hunt-

tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon-
dm. Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway ; and at
Rugby, with the London and Birmingham, the Midland Counties,
dud the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railways.
The country through which it will pass, is thickly populated, and
ot thutchest df...scription. It presents no engineering difficulties, and
Ruin its p'Jpulation, its manufactures, and agricultural produce, it
poseesial Sources of such abundant traffic as so render it highly re-
mrattrative is the Capitalists. _

The ottlett proposed is to complete the line of railway communica-
tion betvreen the Western, Midland, and Eastern portions ',of the
Kingdom, awl a glance at the Map of England will show that this
Will be effected In the most direct manner by the present line ; touch-
In& as it will, at one of its termini, a railway running direct from
Ilgransan to Worcester, and at the other, tho projected line from
sugby to Huntingdon—from which point a railway communication
has been already provided.
i3y means of Ihis 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
tire great and densely-populated mineral fields of South Wales, as well
sts ti 4 markets of the Northern portion of the principality.
VaiVhe population" along the line as well as to the Midland and
ern portions of the kingdom, this updertaking will press n& the
most direct oommuniantion with those towns of fashionable res4rt—
Leamington and Cheltenham. To the inhabitants of Leatnington
and Watwick, it will open the most direct communication with the
city 01' Worcestcv and South Wales, whilst to the inhabitants of
Worcester, it will open the markets of the Eastern portions of the
Country.
