The Committee have much satisfaction in stating that arrange-
ments are in satisfactory progress for an amalgamation with the
Saundersfoot Company for securing the use of their line, and other
works, and that the surveys of the short extension of the old line are
complete, and the whole of the necessary deposits can be made be-
fore the 25th November next, so as to insure the application being
made to Parliament in the ensuing session. The assent of almost
every landowner on the line has already been obtained, and nego-
tiations are in progress with the South Wales Railway, so that there
Is every reason to believe that the measure will be carried out with-
out any opposition.
Prospectuses may be obtained of the solicitors and local agents, and
of Messrs. Carden and Whitehead, Threadneedle-street, London ;
Edwards and Son, and Tate and Nash, Bristol ; Beaumont and Lang-
worthy, Exeter ; J. Woods, junior, Liverpool ; J. Fernyhough, Man-
ckester ; and James Jamieson, Leeds, to whom applications for shares,
in the subjoined form, accompanied by a reference to some banker or
member of the Provisional Committee, may be made.

The Southern Junction Railway is intended to form a communica-
tion between the Great Western Railway at Slough, and the South-
Eastern at Reigate.
It will afford the most easy access through the medium of the
Great Western Railway to the inhabitants of Reading, Maidenhead,
Windsor, Staines, Kingston, Epsom, and the principal intermediate
towns, to Dover, Brighton, Hastings, and the other watering-places
on the coast of Kent and Sussex.
Ireland, Wales, Liverpool, Birmingham, Bristol, and the manu-
facturing districts in the West of England will thus obtain a more
direct, less tedious and expensive communication with the Continent
than by the way of London.
The length of line as proposed will be twenty-seven miles ; and,
after a careful examination, no engineering difficulty presents itself,
as it runs for more than half the distance on a level, and traverses a
country that must be greatly benefited by this project.
The Company will be in a situation to deposit the Parliamentary
plans and sections in ample time for complying with the standing
orders, and enabling them to apply for an Act in the ensuing
session.
The shortness of the line, and the quantity of passenger and mer-
cantile traffic that the line will command, leaves no doubt of an
ample return for the investment of capital.
Applications for prospectuses and plans may be made, and forms
of applications for shares had at the offices of Messrs. Potter and
Collingridge, solicitors, 5, Basinghall-street ; of the Local Agents;

The proposed railway win commence at Rugby, on the London
and Birmingham Railway, the terminus of the Midland Counties
and Trent Valley Railways, and the paint to which several other
projected railways converge, and will proceed through or near to
Leamington, Warwick, Stratford-on-Avon, Evesham, Tewkesbury,
and Cheltenham, to Gloucester. The length of the line will bo
about 56 miles. . _

The advantages that will result from the construction of this line
are numerous and highly important, and such as cannot fail to secure
a very large amount of local and through traffic, and a highly-re-
munerative return upon the capital invested. By means of existing
and proposed railways, it will form a complete chain of railway com-
munication between the whole of the midland and north-eastern
eounties of England, the populous cities and towns before-named, and
the southern and western districts, and thus bring Leicester, Not-
tingham, Newark, Lincoln, Gainsborough, Great Grimsby, and gull,
into direct communication with the favourite and fashionable spas of
Leamington and Cheltenham, the richly-Productive and far-famed
Vale of Evesham,' and the seaports of Gloucester, Bristol, Plymouth,
and Falmouth, and those of South Wales.
The inhabitants and visitors of the much-frequented watering-
places of Leamington and Cheltenham will thus obtain a direct line
between those resorts, instead of the present circuitous route through
Birmingham, affording that facility of intercommunication which
has long been ardently desired ; and it will also afford the utmost fa-
cility of access to the innumerable visitors who, attracted as well by
the beauty of the scenery as the memory of Shakspeare, annually
resort to Stratford-on-Avon.
To those passengers from the east and north-east, direct to
Gloucester, the line from Tewkesbury, cutting off the angle of the
Birmingham and Gloucester Railway to Cheltenham, will afford a
great accommodation, and a saving in distance of at least eight miles,
besides the delay of the stoppage at Cheltenham.
At Tewkesbury it will also form a junction with the proposed line
from that place to Malvern. affording the most direct communication
to the numerous visitors to the magnificent scenery and invigorating
atmosphere of the celebrated Malvern-hills.
To the inhabitants of the ancient and populous borough of Tewkes-
bury this portion of the proposed line will prove immensely advan-
tageous ; situated within ten miles of the important city and port of
Gloucester, they have nevertheless to travel by the present railway
route nearly twice that distance, an inconvenience which has
already materially affected the trade, and prejudiced the interests of
the town. The proposed line, running close to the town, will remove
this great inconvenience, and restore its trade to its former state of
prosperity.
The value of this line to the city and port of Gloucester cannot
be too highly estimated, as it will not only open to it immense
sources of traffic from the whole of the eastern and north-eastern
counties, but will very materially lessen the distance between it
and Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire, making
Gloucester still more securely the nearest and most accessible outlet
for the whole of that immensely productive manufacturing region,
and it is impossible to conceive any project better calculated to
advance the interests of Gloucester, than one capable of effecting
that object.
Ths line will also form an important junction between the London
and Birmingham and Midlands Railways, and the Bristol and
Gloucester Railway, and constitute the highway for the traffic of the
former, and of all the north-eastern railways, to the proposed Man-
chester and Southampton Railway at Cheltenham ; and the through
traffic from the latter source alone is expected to be very great.
It will thus have the effect of connecting the ports of the eastern
and north-eastern with those of the western and southern coasts ;
of affording the most direct and convenient access from the north
and east to the vast mineral regions of South Wales, and of opening
new markets for the rich products of the fertile valleys of the Avon
and Severs, and the agricultural districts of Warwickshire and Wor-
cestershire, in the manufacturing towns and ports of the north.
The line will be easy of construction, traversing, as it does, through
nearly its whole length, the valleys of the Avon and Severn. The
towns through which it will run are very populous, and the country
of the richest description ; and the local traffic will consequently be
very great in addition to the through traffic, which on such a line
must necessarily be very extensive. .
The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the power to
amalgamate with any other company as to the whole or any part of
the line, and to vary or extend the line, arid to Increase or diminish
the capital accordingly, if deemed expedient.
The capital proposed to be raised is 1,000,0001., in shares of 201.,
each, upon which a deposit of 21. 2s. per s'zare must be paid upon
allotment.
The liability of the subscribers will be limited by the Act to the
amount of their respective subscriptions to the capital stock, and
Power will be applied for in the Act to allow interest at the rate of
4/. per cent.per annum on the amount of the deposit, and upon the re-
spective calls, than the date of each payment until the opening of the
line.
The Subscribers' Agreement and the Parliamentary Contract will
be required, to be duly executed when the bankers' receipts are ex-
changed for certificates of scrip, of which due notice will be given ;
and the deposits paid by persons making default in due execution of
the Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract within the
time to be limited by such notice, will be absolutely forfeited.
Forms of rpplication for shares, prospectuses, and a map of the
line, may be obtained from the Solicitors, or the Secretary, at tin
