so many thousands of visitors annually resort in pur-
suit of health and pleasure, constitute a summary of
advantages which cannot fail to recommend this project to
public favour and support. It is calculated that the traffic in
minerals alone will yield a lucrative return to the Shareholders;
white the extraordinary increase of travelling which every ad-
ditional facility creates, and the surprising influx of trade which
every new railway brings to the district through which it passes,
adding largely to the profits of the undertaking, render it pro.
bable that the advantages which will actually be realised by this
project will exceed the most sanguine expectations of Its pro.
rooters.

Abergavenny, Sept. 29, 1845.
At a MEETING of the INHABITANTS of this town and neigh-
bourhood, convened by public requisition, and held here this day,
The Rev. WM. POWELL, Vicar of Abergavenny, in the Chair,
It was proposed by Mr. DANIEL, seconded by Mr. Isaac, and unani-

It will afford direct communication between Ludlow, Bridgnorth
and Wolverhampton, Dudley, &c.; and, by the South Staffordshire
Junction Railway, give to those towns and districts the most direct
route for passengers and goods to and from the Central, North Eastern
and Eastern parts of the Kingdom, and from which those towns have
hitherto been excluded by every project of the day.
It will convey to the agricultural districts of Herefordshire and
South Shropshire, and also to the towns of Bridgnorth and Ludlow,
coals and the mineral productions of Staffordshire, Worcestershire,
and the Clee Hills, at nearly one-half the present cost of those ne-
cessary articles, and be the means of conveyance for corn, cattle,
sheeje, cider, wool, hops and other agricultural productions, as also
timber from the before-mentioned agricultural counties, to the heart
of the mining and manufacturing districts, which cannot fail to pro-
duce au immense traffic.

and WAKEFIELD RAILWAY.

mously resolved—

That this meeting, being deeply convinced of the necessity and ad-
vantage of direct railway communication between the town of
Abergavenny and the great iron district of Monmouthshire and
Breconshire, and finding that this district is embraced in the grand
scheme of the Great Eastern and -Western Railway Company, does
most cordially approve of its plans, and is determined to render it
all the aid it can command.

Notice is hereby giren, that no further A PPL IC ATI ONS for
SHARES in this COMPANY can be received after THURSD‘V,

SECRETARY, pro tem—John Devereux Pugh, Esq.
This line is intended to be made from Wrexham, through Holt
and Nantwich to Crewe. Its length will be about "3 miles, and it
will be a direct communication between the most populous
district of North Wales, and one of the most valuable
mineral fields in the kingdom ; and Crewe and the
manufacturing districts of Cheshire, Lancashire, Stafford.
shire, and Yorkshire, being a nearer route than any now
existing or contemplated, by upwards of 12 miles. It is satisfac-
torily proved by the evidence of persons best qualified to give a
correct opinion on the subject, that the district of Wrexham (even
exclusive of what may be called the Ruabon district) possesses in-
exhaustible supplies of coal, ironstone, lime, and lead, of the best
quality ; the extent of the coal-field is about eight miles long by
two broad, and the limestone is of much greater extent ; the ver-
tical section of coal presents 14 successive strata of coal, of which
10 are workable; these strata givo 40 feet 6 inches of solid coal,
supposing there to be 15 cwt. of coal to the cubic yard, and deduct.
ing one-tenth for old workings, and one.third for waste, faults,
dc., there re:nains 18,817,920 tons of coal in a square mile.—(see
Evidence given before Parliament on the North Wales Mineral
Railway Bill.)
The value of the ironstone in the whole area of 16 miles is esti.
mated at 35,400.994/. The importance of connecting this wealthy
d:strict with the towns before named is too obvious to require n
moment's comment. By means of the cheap and expeditious transit
provided by this line, the coke manufactured in the neighbsurliced
of Wrexham (which is proved to be superior to any other, see evi-
dence before mentioned) will be conveyed to Crewe, for the 191[14
of the numerous railways centering at that place, at one.third the
present price; the revenue to be derived from this source must be
immense. The whole district through which this line will pass is
DOW supplied with coal, coke, lime, and slates from the tallies and
quarries in the neighbourhood of Wrexham at a very hieli price, in
consequence of the carriage being so expensive. The average
prices (per ton) of coal, coke, and lime, at Natitivlch and Crewe.
exclusive of carriage, are as follows :
At Nantwich, Coal
91 Coke ... l3 4
Lime ... l6 0
At Crewe, Coal
JP Coke
„ Lime
This railway will afford the means of supplying coal, lime, and

Among the multifarious railway schemes now before the public,
the most legitimate and also the most likely to yield a fair remu-
nerative return on the outlay, are the traverse railways projected
with the object of supplying the existing want of railway transit
across the country.
The line will not interfere with any parks or property of an or-
namental character, and will be constructed at much less than the
average cost.
The Provisional Directors have no reason to expect any effectual
opposition to a measure so obviously beneficial both to the public
and the landed proprietors, and so powerfully supported by those
best qualified to form an opinion of its merits.
With respect to engineering, the line presents no difficulty
whatever, the gradients are very easy, and the earth-work light.
The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to
allow interest, at 4/. per cent, per annum, on the deposits as well
as upon all future calls from the date of the passing of the Act
until the opening of the railway, and no shareholder will be Fable
beyond the amount of his subscription.
In the allotment of shares preference will be given, to a certain
extent, to the proprietors of land through which the line will pass,
anti to shareholders in the Manchester and Birmingham, the Man.
chester and Birmingham Continuation, the North Wales Mineral,
and the Staffordshire Potteries, Liverpool and Manchester Direct
Railways.

To the towns embraced in this line, the value of obtaining thereby,
at the cheapest rate, coal and the necessaries of life, will ba of the ut-
most importance.
One principal feature in this projection is, that as either Ludlow or
Bridgnorth will lie in the direct route of one of the projects to be pro-
posed to Parliament in the next session, for the most direct commu-
nication between Ireland and the metropolis, this line will thereby,
afford to passengers the easiest communication to and from the cen-
tral parts of the kingdom.
It is satisfactory to the promoters to state that they have the sanc-
tion of the Grand Junction Company, and the co-operation of the
Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton and South Staffordshire Junction, and
the South Staffordshire Junction Companies, and that no project has
been announced in competition with its acknowledgedclaim on public
o support.
The whole line is free from engineering difficulties, and can be
constructed at a moderate cost, and has obtained the approval of the
landed interest, whose ornamental properties have been strictly pro-
tected.

PROSPECTUS.

This important line will commence at Brighton, and (passing
through or contiguous to the towns of Steyning, Petworth, Mid-
hurst, Petersileld and Alresford) will join at the Andover Road sta-
tion of the South-Western Railway, the proposed Southampton
Manchester and Oxford Junction.

An arrangement has been entered Into with the latter Company,
and it is proposed by means of their projected line, that the
Brighton and Cheltenham Railway shall proceed through Hunger-
ford to Swindon.

From Peterstleld a sho t branch will be made to Chichester
where, nearly at the same point of junction, the London and Ports-
mouth direct will inter.ect the line in its way to Portsmouth.
From Sw.ndon it is proposed to proceed by the Manchester and
Southamptm Railway to Chelt nham, and the North of England
by the Derbyshire, Worcestershire and Staffordshire Junction, or
other existing and contemplated lines.
On reference to the map, it will be seen that the primary object
to be obtained by the formation of this line will be the immediate
connexion of the northern, western, and the whole of the manufac-
turing counties, and North and South Wales, with the southern coast•
and the populous and fashionable towns of Brighton, Hastings, and
Dover.

It is unnecessary to observe on the daily increasing traffic betwe6i
Brighton and Dieppe, which the railroad from the latter place to
Rouen, and thence to Paris, must greatly augment; thus, by means
of the projected line, a direct communication with France, either
from Brighton or Dover, will be opened with the northern comities
of England.

It is obvious that with these advantages the traffic must neces-
sarily be large, the line passing through the centre of Sussex, con-
taining a population of about 300,000, at present almost devoid of
railway accommodation.
Power will lee applied for in the Act to increase the capital, f
necessary, to alter the line, or to make such deviations or branches
therefrom as may be deemed necessary ; also for the purposes of amal-
gamation with other Companies, should the same be found desirable.
The Company reserves to itself the option of adopting the broad or
narrow gauge, or the principle of atmospheric traction, ifopreferable.
No further call beyond the deposit will be made until the Act
shall be obtained.

In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to parties
locally interested, aad to the shareholders in the lines with which
this Company will be connected.
Application for shares may be made to the Secretary, and
to the following Sharebrokers, of whom pros;)ectuses, with maps

Co., 2, Old Broad-street; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39, Lothbury.

SECRETARY—Mr. John C. Sommers.

In submitting this undertaking to the public, the promoters are
influenced no less by a conviction of its importance as a direct con-
necting line between the important towns of Chichester and Ports-
mouth and the metropolis, than by its grand national importance in
affording a direct communication between the two great military and
naval arsenals of Great B Hain —Portsmouth and Chatham.

The projected undertaking, by proceeding to the two termini at
Chichester and Portsmouth. will extend the facilities of communica•
tton with the coast branches of railways along the south of England,
connecting itself with Brighton to the eastward, and Southampton
towards the west. By the main line falling into the Brighton Rail-
way the advantage of two termini in London will be secured—the
one at the Bricklayers' Arms, and the other at London •bridge—the
latter of which, from its proximity to the Custom House, and the
several docks on the Thames, is acknowledged to be the best position
for a London terminus for merchandise of all descriptions.
The line of railway intended to be constructed by this Company will
commence at or near the Redhill station near Reigate, on the Lon-
don and Brighton Railway, a distance of 21 miles from London
bridge. .

In its course to Portsmouth it will pass through or near Reigate,
Newdigate, Cupel, Ocklcy, Ewhurst, Rudgwick, Cranley, Alfold,
Billinghurst, Wisborough-green, Plaistow, Haslemere, Chiddingfold,
North Chapel, Kirdford, Petworth, Midhurst, Chilgrove, Stoughton,
Racton, Westbourne, and Emsworth, at or near which last •mentioned
place this projected II .e will join the Chichester and Portsmouth Rail-
way to Portsmouth.
A branch is proposed to be made from Dorking to join the main
line at or near Capel.
By this course the entire distance to travel between London and
Portsmouth will be abridged to 73 miles, a distance considerably
shorter than that by which any line hitherto projected between
London and Portsmouth has proposed to pass, and also pursuing
a route more populous and productive than any hitherto presented
to public Llotiee. It will involve the construction of only 45 miles of
railway tb complete the course between the Redhill station (near
Reigate) and Emsworth.
From London to Reigate by the London and Brighton
Railroad is ............... .. ................... 21 miles.

From the point near Emsworth to Portsmlth by the
Chichester and Portsmouth Railway is .••••.•• • • • • • • • 7

,Total distance from London to Portsmouth.. •• • • .• 73 miles.
From Chilgrove a line of seven miles will be constructed, and
which will place Chichester in direct communication with London.
The distance between Chichester and London by this routo will be
62 miles, and trains will run direct between London and Chichester.
Inarantch as the existing line of railway to Dover branches off
from the London and Brighton Railroad at Reigate, this projected
line will open up a communication by railroad between Portsmouth
and Dover.
From an inspection of the map, it will be seen that the Redidll
station, near Reigate, lies nearly in a direct line between Ports-
mouth and:Chatham, and in pursuing the line of communication be-
tween the last-mentioned naval and military depot, this line will pass
through or near-to the towns of Bletchingley, Godston, Limpsfield,
Westerham, Seven Oaks, Ightham, Town Mailing, Wrothmn, Off-
ham, Snodland, Lower Hailing, and Wouldham.
The distance between Chatham and Reigate will involve the
making of 31 miles of railroad, and the line of railroad between
Portsmouth and Chatham will extend over 82 miles.
To the. naval and military establishments 'of this kingdom the
construction of this projected line will afford the most important fa-
cilities in the transit of troops, stores, baggage, &c., diminishing
the tardy course of communication which at present necessarily
exists between Portsmouth and Chatham, at present usually extend-
ing over the space of two days, and placing them in that direct com-
munication with each other which, in two hours, or thereabouts,
will enable the journey between them to be made.
The formation of a direct line
oft railway between Portsmouth
anti Chatham will afford the opprunity- of establishing, by an
electric telegraphic, that celerity of communication so important to be
Wattled between places of national importance.
Tim warm support of the principal landowners on the greater part
of the lin: is pledged to this undertaking.
The Provisional Committee abstain from making any special re-
ference to the contemplated profit to result from carrying into effect
this undertaking, feeling convinced that the extent of traffic through
the populous and rich districts over which this line and itS branches
are projected to pass is sufficiently known, and is decisive of the
inutility of all comment in that respect.
