everywhere be light; no invasion of ornamental property is neces-
sary; and the local interests have expressed themselves favourable to
the project.
From the combination of advantages, facilities, and patronage
from the great breadth of new country to be supplied with railway
accommodation—moderate cost of labour on the line—enormous
supply of materials, and encouraging traffic returns—an interest of
ten per cent. on vested capital is confidently expected, exclusive of a
fair allowance for working expenses.
Power will be taken in the Bill to allow interest at the rate of four
per cent. on all deposits.
The plans and sections of the Lincoln, York, and Leeds Company,
being now in the possession of the promoters of this Company, an
immense saving of expense will thereby be secured.

'WARWICK AND CHELTENHAM
JUNCTION RAILWAY, via Stratford-on-Avon and

Evesham.

phis Railway Company was formed and registered In March last,
its object being to complete the chain of railway communication from
the north-east to the south-west.

Commencing at Leamington it communicates with the London
and Birmingham Railway at its station between that town and
Warwick ; proceeding by Warwick to Stratford It will there Join the
railway to Moreton-in-the-Marsh, and at Evesham connect with
the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton broad-gauge line, and
from Evesham it will proceed to Cheltenham.
It will thus form the most direct route to the two largest and most
fashionable inland watering-places, Leamington and Cheltenham ;
besides which it will materially shorten the distance by railway be-
tween Warwick, Coventry, Leicester, Melton, and the east, and
Worcester, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Tewkesbury, Bristol, South
Wales, and the west ; it will also furnish local accommodation to
new and important districts.
A considerable time having elapsed since the formation of the
Company, the Directors consider it to be their duty to inform the
Shareholders of their present position and prospects, and they have
now to report—
. . . .

That their engineer has completed his survey of the line, which
not only proves to be free from any material difficulty, but is re-
markably easy of construction, going along the valley of the Avon
the greater part of the distance.
They have concluded arrangements with the promoters o ithe
Evesham Valley Railway, under which the projected Evesham Valley
Company is incorporated with this Company, and powerful local in-
fluence is thus secured.

They are also at the present time engaged in negotiations, which
they are sanguine will secure very influential co-operation, both
local and otherwise.

The Shareholders are doubtless aware of the great interest caused
by the question of the broad and narrow gauges situated between
and communicating with important lines constructed on both gauges ;
this subject must, of course, claim the serious consideration of the
Directors of this line. The various and, in some respects, conflicting
interests and circumstances connected therewith must be duly
weighed before a final decision can he arrived at.
The Directors have the satisfaction to state that everything is in
such a state of forwardness as to ensure all the preliminary steps
being taken in due time, and that they continue to have unabated
confidence in the capabilities and value of the line. Its cost of con-
struction will be much below the average, whilst its through traffic
in passengers, goods, and minerals, will be large, and its local
traffic between the towns of Leamington, Warwick, Stratford,
Evesham, and Cheltenham, and their rich agricultural neighbour-
hoods, will be such as of itself to secure a good return for the out-
lay incurred. These considerations must undoubtedly command a
favourable issue to their application to Parliament next session.
Signed by order of the Directors,
R. HARTLEY KENNEDY, Chairman.

PROSPECTUS.
The object of this line of Railway is to complete the chain of coast
communication, and fonn a connexion with lines already established
or projected with reasonable hopes of success.
It will commence at or near the city of Limerick, and taking a nor-
therly direction, proceed through the counties ofClare, Galway, 3layo,
and Sligo, terminating at Sligo, by a junction with the Sligo and Ennis-
killen Railway, and accommodating on its route the important cities and
towns of Limerick, Ennis, Gort, Loughrea, Athenry, Monivea, Tuam,
Ballinrobe, Castlebar, Westport, Foxford, Ballina, Kilalla, Swineford,
Streamstown, and Sligo, which town being connected with the north,
east, and south, by the different lines through Enniskillen, London-
derry, Coleraine, Belfast, Armagh, Newry, Dundalk, Drogheda,
Dublin, Wicklow, Wexford, Waterford, Cork, Killarney, Valentia.
Tralee, and Limerick, the establishment of this line will cause Ire-
land to present a completeness of locomotive communication which
no other country in the world enjoys.
The country through which the proposed line travels is most fertile
in mineral and agricultural products ; it embraces many extensive
coal fields, whose advantages it will extend to all parts of Connaught
and Ulster; and intersecting, as it does, so many metropolitan lines
of of railway, it will develope those advantages in an equal degree
the province of Leinster.
The lead, iron, marble, and slate works on its route, will be
rendered available to the most distant parts of ti_le_,

English markets with cattle, pigs, &c. This Hue, communicating with
so many ports, will afford the greatest facilities for the shipping of
this portion of trade, some idea of the extent of which may be formed
from the fact of upwards of five hundred fairs being held annually
in its immediate vicinity, among them, the fair of Ballinasloe, ac-
knowledged the greatest for sheep and cattle in the British islands.
It has been ascertained that the country presents great engineering
facilities for the construction of a railway, and in communications
which have been received from the landowners along the line, the
greatest anxiety is manifested for its completion.
The subscribers will be held liable only to the extent of their first
deposits until an Act of Parliament is obtained, and afterwards only
to the amount of their subscriptions.
Power will be applied for in the Act—and in the meantime Is
hereby given to the Committee—to alter the capital, if necessary ;to
vary or abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, or
enter into arrangements with any other company or companies ; and
also to nominate the first directors of the company.
The Parliamentary contract and subscribers' agreement will be
ready for signature on payment of the deposits.
It will be seen trem the plan that the railway intersects many main:
lines, and will thus contribute to, and receive from them a con-f
siderable amount in passenger and merchandise traffic.
From the estimates that have been made, a return of at least 10'
per cent. must be realised on the capital.

tors in London and Dublin ; to the Local Agents ; to the Secretary,
