This railway Is intended to connect the South Wales Railway at
Chepstow with Gloucester, Cheltenham, and Birmingham, with the
projected Cheltenham, Oxford (and London direct), Gloucester, and
Aberystwith, Northampton anti Cheltenham, and Manchester and
Southampton Railways ; thus forming an uninterrupted line of com-
munication from the South of Ireland, through Fishgard and Milford
In Pembrokeshire, to Gloucester, Cheltenham, Oxford, and London
direct, Southampton, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and the
North of England, by a less circuitous route than can be effected by
any of the projected plans for crossing the Sevens below G.oucester,
thereby avoiding the difficulties which must necessarily be encoun-
tered in such an undertaking, and affording the important towns and
districts upon the intended lines that accommodation which their Im-
portance entitles them to.

The whole of the traffic upon the South Wales lir* passing to the
Eastward of Chepstow will be carried on this line ; added to which
the coal and mineral traffic from the Forest of Dean (which, from
thl Eastern side to Gloucester, has been esthnated upon authentic
documents and information, at upwards of 300,000 tons ; and from
the Western or Lydney and Chepstow side the same amount of traffic
m►y satbly be calculated upon), amounting- to 600,000 tons per an-
num (the produce of the Forest alone), Mat be carried upon the line,
independent of the local passenger ,traffic and an extended trade in
the produce of the Forest, which will necessarily follow the facilities
offered by the proposed railroad.

The revenue fiom this source alone will give a very handsome di-
vidend upon the capital to be eXpendod. which is expected will not
exceed three-fourths of the intended capital.

It is proposed to make branches to Collieries and Iron Works
in the Forest, to the present or any new Ports which may suggest
themselves on the Severn; and to make the Illwr Wye, at Chep-
stow, the port of foreign export, where vessels of any size 'can enter
free from the dangers and difficulties attendant upon the navigation
of the Severn, consequent upon the rocks and shifting sands in that
river,

It
Is intended to build a bridge across the Severn at Gloucester,
which will in no way obstrUot the navigation; and the proposed
Gloucester and Aberystwith Company will no doubt be ready to jells
this Company 10 the expense, if they obtain their Act. The cost of
the intended line from Chepstow to Gloucester, including the bridge
at Gloucester, and the one over the River Wye, at Chepstow, to Join
the South Wales, with branches to the Collieries, Iron Works, and
the Sovern, is not expected to exceed 450,000/., but it is intended to
provide a capital of 600,0001. to meet any contingencies which may
arise.

A reference to the map will show the self-evident importance of
this line as essential to the perflacting the great project of the South
Wales Railway Company (who have obtained their Act of Parlia-
ment for a railroad from Fishguard and Milford Haven to Chepstow)
it connecting it with the principal railways of the kingdoms, at
Gloucester, and making it the direct road to London, via Cheltenham
and Oxford, for effieting which projects are now before the public
with moat Influential support. The line is twenty-six miles in
langth, has no engineering difliculUes ; the gradients and curves are
extremely good, and works light.
It may with very great confidence be asserted, that: there is
scarcely a short line of railread iu the kingdom which offers
greater advantages to the Shareholders than the present. Pro-
vlssi:n will be made In the Act of Parliament which will be applied
for in the next Session to limit the liability of the Shareholder
to the amount of his Shares, and to allow four per cent. on the
calls.
