PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
THE BRISTOL AND DOVER DIRECT
JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY, connecting Bristol,
Wales, and the important Western and North-western Districts
with Kent and France.

(Provisionally Registered.)
Capital 800,0001., in 32,000 Shares of 251. each
Deposit 21. 15s. per Share

In pursuance of the new Standing Orders of the House of Lords.
This line is projected for the purpose of affording a direct communi-
cation between the two great ports mentioned in its title, and to effect
this purpose it is proposed to commence at Devizes, which by other
projects is about to be placed in connexion with Bath and Bristol. It
will then pass in a south-easterly direction through or near and
giving a communication to the populous and important towns of Lud-
gershall, Andover, Whitchurch, Basingstoke (where the Southampton
Railway has a station), Wiliam, and Farnham to Godalming. Here
it will form a junction with other lines, which will complete the
communication to the Reigate station of the London and Dover Rail-
way ; or, should it be necessary, in consequence of the failure of any
of the projected railways in this locality, the present project will
itself be extended to Dorking and Reigate, at which latter point the
Brighton Railway is united with the Dover.
A prospectus, containing the names of a powerful Committee and
the officers, will be ready in a few days ; and in the meantime fur-
ther particulars may be obtained and applications for shares received
at the temporary offices, 6, Liverpool-street, Broad-street, London.

This Line, which, subject to the decision of the Gauge Commis-
sioners, will be constructed on the Broad Gauge principle, will com-
mence at the Worcester Station of the Great Eastern and Western
Railway, and, proceeding by Redditch and Henley-in-Arden, will
touch Warwick and Leamington, and end at Rugby, the terminus of
the Midland Counties Railway and of the proposed Rugby and Hunt-
ingdon Junction Railway. It will communicate with Droitwich,
Studley, Alcester, and Stratford-oil-Avon.
At Warwick, it will unite with the Birmingham and Oxford Junc-
tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon-
don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway ; and at
Rugby, with the London and Birmingham, the Midland Counties,
and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railways.
The country through which it will pass, is thickly populated, and
of the richest description. It presents no engineering difficulties, and
from its population, its manufactures, and agricultural produce, it
possesses sources of sueh abundant traffic as to render it highly re-
munerative to the capitalists.
The object proposed is to complete the line of railway communica-
tion between the Western, Midland, and Eastern portions ;of the
Kingdom, and a glance at the Map of England will show that this
will be effected in the most direct manner by the present line ; touch-
ing, as it will, at one of its termini, a railway running direct from
Swansea to Worcester, and at the other, the projected line from
Rugby to Huntingdon—from which point a railway communication
has been already provided.
By means of this 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
the great and densely-populated mineral fields of South Wales, as well
as the markets of the Northern portion of the principality.
To the population along the line as well as to the Midland and
Northern portions of he kingdom, this undertaking will present the'
most direct communication with those towns of fashionable resort—
Leamington and Cheltenham. To the inhabitants of Leamington
and Was wick, it will open the most direct communication with the
city of Worcester and South Wales, whilst to the inhabitants of
Worcester, it will open the markets of the Eastern portions of the
country.
The Shareholders in the several railways proposed to be joined or
intersected, will have a preference in the allotment of shares in this
undertaking.
No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the Act is
obtained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at four
pounds per centum on all calls from the time of their respective
payments, and to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount
of their subscription.

The line of Railway intended to be constructed by this Company
will commence at or near Norton Bridge (a station of the Grand
Junction Railway), in the county •of Stafford, and proceed from
thence by Eccleshall, Offley, Norbury, Forton, Newport, Donnington
Wood, Oaken Gates, Priors Lee, Stirchley, Dawley, Madeley, and
Iron Bridge, to Coalbrook-dale ; there, crossing the proposed " Wor-
cester and Crewe Railway," it will pass along the slope of Wenlock-
edge, by Rushbury and Eaton-under-Haywood, to Wistanstow, in
the county of Salop, where it will run into, and form a junction with
the " Shrewsbury, Hereford, and North Wales Railway." '
The line will traverse a rich mineral district, and will have a secure
and extensive traffic by the carriage of coal from the Shropshire
coal-field, to a depot proposed to be formed at Wistanstow, for the
supply of South Shropshire, part of Radnorshire and Herefordshire,
and also from whence it will be conveyed by the " Hereford, Shrews-
bury, and North Wales Railway," into Montgomeryshire and the
neighbouring counties, where coal does not exist. It is impossible to
calculate the extent to which this traffic may be carried, as by the
direct railway communication thus opened between the Shropshire
coal-field, and the important manufacturing towns of Newtown
and Llanidloes, the price per ton will be reduced one-half at
those places, and the flannel manufacturers, now depend-
ing upon water power, will, by the cheapness of coal, be
enabled to employ steam, and to extend their trade in proportion to
the great demand which exists for the Welsh flannels, in preference
to any other. The importance of this subject will have its due weight
with those who so often witness the bad effects upon the trade, caused
by the stoppage of the mills from an insufficiency of water.
A considerable amount of tonnage iSnow incurred by the Shrop-
shire ironmasters,f or the conveyance of lime-stone from the neigh-
bourhood of Much Wenlock to the furnaces, by several transits of
land and water carriage, whereas the proposed railway will convey
it direct into the heart of the works, and at one-third of the expense.
By its junction with the " Grand Junction" and the " Hereford
sheffie Hull,
and Shrewsbury" Railways, this line will form
ld, York a direcand t communicaand-
tion between Liverpool, Manchester,
Swansea and South Wales.
As a junction line alone (connecting as it will such important rail-
ways), a large passenger traffic may be depended upon, but when it
is considezed that the centre of the line passes through a densely-
populated mining district, and the remainder through a thriving
agricultural neighbourhood, it will be obvious that a sufficient local
traffic exists to pay a highly remunerative interest on the amount of
capital required to be embarked.
The line, which will not interfere with any property of an orna
mental or costly character, will not exceed 46 miles in length, and
will be constructed at much less than the average cost.
Such important local co-operation has been secured, that no oppo-
sition is anticipstcd or can be sustained against the measure.
The liability of the Shareholders wi be limited, by the Act, to the
amount of their subscription to the capital stock ; and power will be
applied for to allow interest at the rats of four per cent. per annum
on the amount of the deposit, and upon the further calls, from the
date of each payment until the opening of th. line ; and the first
deposit being paid, a further call will not be made until the Act
Parliament shall have been obta!ned.

The Managing Committee of the Leicester and Tamworth Junction
Railway Company have determined upon making an extension from
their line, commencing at or near Market Bosworth or Twyeross, and
running from thence by cr 'near Atherstone and the Whitacre Junc-
tion of the Midlands (late Birmingham and Derby) Railway to Bir-
mingham. In the allotment of shares, due regard will be had to the
interests of the scrip holders in the Leicester and Tamworth Junction
Railway Company. The surveys are in pro:.:ress, and the line Is re-
ported as easy of construction, and free from engineering difficulties.

The twofold advantages offered by this project give it a manifest
superiority over every other scheme which has yet been devised for
traversing this rich and extensive, but hitherto unintersected portion
of the Midland Counties. The Leicester and Tamworth Junction, as
originally projected, brings, by means of the Trent Valley Railway,
the important manufacturing town. of Leicester and the Midland and
Eastern Counties into immediate communication with the mining
districts and wool markets of Staffordshire and Shropshire, the great
towns of Liverpool and Manchester, and the intervening ;localities ;
whilst the projected extension affords the shortest practicable railway
route-from Leicester to Birmingham, and the western and south-
western counties of England. The saving in distance between Lei-
cester and Birmingham will be seen by the following scale :
By Rugby By Tamworth Saving
Leicester to Liverpool • • .... 147 ..... • • 117 ••••• • • • 30
Leicester to Manchester •• • • 134 ••• • • ..... 104 ..... 39
Leicester to Birmingham •• • . 49 ..... 35 ........ 14

The construction of the Birmingham extension in conjunction with
the Leicester and Tamworth Railway gives this project an evident
advantage in point of expense over any independent line from Lei-
cester to Birmingham; and, taking the inequalities of the country
into consideration, a snore direct line does not appear desirable or
practicable, and the saving which which will be effected of more than
half the expense which must attach to the construction of an inde-
pendent line from Leicester to Birmingham is a most important
consideration.

Application for Shares may be aaTressed to the Secretary at the
Company's offices, 4, Coleman-street, London ; to the solicitors ; to
Messrs. Aston and Scott, Throgmortdn-street, and to Messrs. Oswin
and Co., Angel•court, London.
No applications will be attended to unless accompanied by a re-
ference to a member of the Managing Committee, or to one of the
solicitors.

PROSPECTUS.

The object of this line of Railway is to complete the chain of coast
communication, and form 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 of Clare, Galway, Mayo,
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 railway, it will develope those advantages in an equal degree to
the province of Leinster. I
The lead, iron, marble, and slate works on its route, will be
rendered available to the most distant parts of the island, and
perhaps not the least advantage, in a national point of view, will be
the establishment of an intercourse between the population of the
extreme north and that of the extreme south, as well as placing the
trade of, and communication with, Scotland, within the easy reach
of all towns of any importance in Ireland. Added to this the cer-
tainty that on the completion of the projected southern, eastern, and
western lines, the noble natural harbours on the Atlantic shore of
Ireland will become the British depots of American traffic, and most
probably the established packet stations for postal communication
between the two countries, it is impossible to over-rate the value of
this truly national projection.
The counties which this railway traverses abundantly supply the
English markets with cattle, pigs, &c. This line, communicating with

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 increase the capital, if necessary ;
to alter or abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, or
