Preftrence will be given to those locally interested, and to the
holders of Shares in the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester
Junction Railway.

mineral district of Monmouthshire and Glamorganshire, with the
heart of the Kingdom and London.

stow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway, there is
not a line of railroad in the Kingdom which offers greater advan-
tages to the Shareholders than the present. Provision will be made
in the Act of Parliament which will be applied for in the next ses-
sion to limit the liability of the Shareholder to the amount of his
shares, and to allow four per cent. on the calls.
Until an Act of Parliament shall. be obtained, the affairs of this
Company shall be under the control of the Managing Directors, to
whom power is given to allot the Shares, and to apply the fiends of
the Company in payment of all the expenses incurred in its forma-
tion, and In the preparation of the Plans and Sections submitted to
Parliament.
Power will be applied fbr in the 'Act (and in the meantime is
hereby given to the Managing Directors as above), to raise any addi-
tional capital, to extend or abandon any branch of the line, to make
branch lines, or enter into any arrangements, by amalgamation or
otherwise, with any other company or companies, and also to nomi-
nate the first Directors of the Company.

brought from a distance of 24 miles, and shipped at Cardiff, froni
whence freights to London have averaged from 10s. to 11s. per tort •
during the past year; but so uncertain is the supply to the metropo-
lis, owing to the scarcity of ships on the Welsh coast, and the long
and precarious navigation round the Land's End, that many who are
anxious to adopt their engine grates for its use, are deterred from
the toe great uncertainty which exists against obtaining a regular
aid constant supply; these difficulties will be entirely superseded by
the proposed railway, and these it is intended to join, with the great
additional advantage and impetus to increased use and consumption,
that it may be delivered to the consumer at from 2s. to 3s. per ton
less price than at present. Under such circumstances, it will not
appear unreasonable to those unacquatated with the trade, to expect
that the consumption in the metropolis alone will be increased four-
fold, whilst a new-found trade will be opened out with Chepstow,
Gloucester, Cheltenham, `Pitney, Oxford, and the numerous inter-
mediate towns to London, where steam coal is used.
It has been considered more judicious-to form a separate Company
for the Extension line from Chepstow to the Taff Vale, than to alter
the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway
Company at present, but powers are proposed to be taken for uniting
the two Companies hereafter, with the assent of their respective
Boards of Direction. •
