It was resolved to reduce the capital of this Company to 280,0001.,
being the estimate for the main and branch lines and the pier, it
having been deemed advisable not to apply for powers for the con-
struction of docks, warehouses, &c., as originally contemplated.
The engineer reported that the whole of the Parliamentary surveys
were completed with respect to the meta land, and that the surveys
on the branch line to Thorpe-le-Soken Would be concluded within a
week or ten days.
Resolutions wore adopted expressive of a determination to proceed
with the application to Parliament in the ensuing session ; but that
the allotment of shares should be deferred until after the deposit of
the plans and sections on or previously to the 30th November next.
Prospectuses, with full details and forms of application for shares,
can be obtalned only of the solicitors in London and Colchester, and
of the following sharebrokerst—London—Messrs. Hitchins and liar-
rison, Threadneedle-street ; and Mr. Pritchett, 74, Old Broad-street.

•

This line has been projected for the purpose of forming the most
direct communication between Birmingham and the Midland Coun-
ties, and the important and rising pert of Aberystwith and the sea-
coast of Wales.
It is intended to commence at the junction of the Welch Midland
and Stour Valley Railways (both of which have projected lines to
Birmingham), between Kidderminster and Bewdley, and proceed from
thence through Cleobury Mortimer to Ludlow, where it will form a
junction with the Worcester and Portdyullaen, and Bridgnorth,
Ludlow, and Wolverhampton Railways. From Ludlow it will ollow
the line of the present mail road, along the Valley of the Tefme to
Knighton, from which place it is intended to throw off a branch to
the Craven Arms, to rue into the Shropshire Mineral Railway, which
has its terminus at that place. The line will proceed from
Knighton to Lianidloes, where it will join the projected Manchester
and Aberystwith Railway, and proceed along that line for the re-
mainder of the distance. The use of all projected lines being thus
sought for, the part to be made will not exceed sixty miles ; and as
surveyors are already upon the line, the plans, &c., will all be ready
to go to Parliament in the ensuing session.
The advantages of the present line over ar.y other projected rail-
way between Birmingham and Aberystwith are :—That it is the
most direct route between the respective termini ; that it passes
through a district at present unprovided with railway accommoda-
tion ; that by it and the Birmingham. Stamford, and Boston lines, a
regular chain of railway communication is opened between St.
George's Channel and the German Ocean; and by the Great
Eastern and Western line a communication is also opened with
Yarmouth, Norwich. and King's Lynn ; that it will open the slate
mines of Cardiganshire, and the limestone of Radnorshire to Shrop-
shire, and the whole or the midland counties ; while, on the ether
hand, by the branch from the Craven Arms, the coals of Shropshire
will be brought into Raduorshire, Montgomeryshire, and Cardigan-
shire, where that article does not exist, at little more than one-third
of its present cost. From these and other sources of traffic it must
be obvious that high rate of interest upon the capital embarked
may be depend6d upon.
The line throughout the whole distance meets with the most influ-
ential local support, so as to ensure its complete success.
There are no engineering difficulties of any magnitude, and no
ornamental property will be invaded. Should the atmospheric
pie be be fully tested and be found to answer, it will be adopted on this
line.
The responsibility of the shareholders will be limited to the amount
of their subscriptions, and pswer.will be taken in the Act to allow in-
terest at four per cent. on the calls. The Committee reserve the
usual power to amalgamate with any other existing Company or
Companies, to limit or vary the line, as to them shall seem most
expedient, in order to carry out the objects of the Company.
Prospectuses, with maps and forms of application for shares, may
be had from the Secretary, at the Office of the Company, 163, Fen-
chureh-street ; from the Solicitors and Local Agents; and also from
the following Brokers, viz. :.—Messrs. Franchi and Henesy, London

MANCHESTER AND MILFORD HAVEN
RAILWAY.
The Manchester and Birmingham a ontinuation and Welsh Junc-
tion Railway having been projected to traverse the same line of
country as the northern part of this line, the Committee have con-
sidered it to be for the benefit of the Shareholders to avoid any Par-
liamentary' contest ; and have, aocordingly, enteved into an arrange-
ment for the entire amalgamation of the two Companies, on equal
terms.
In pursuance of this arrangement, the line of the Manchester and
Milford Haven Railway will commence by a junction with the other
line, near Liangerrig, inst,ad of at Crewe. The capital is reduced
to 1,500,0001.; andig,
a portion of the Shares have been granted to the
other Company. It has become necessary, therefore, to close the list
of applications ; and no application for Shares will be received after
WEDNESDAY NEXT, the sth day of November ,except from landowners
and gentlemen locally interested.

:414—Observing that doubts have been expressed whether in
many of the various railway schemes now before the public the de-
posits on the capital have peen paid, or, if paid, have been properly
applied, the Committee think it right to state, that the deposits on
the shares allotted in this railway have been duly paid, and that a
sum exceeding three-fourths of the amount has been invested in
Consols in the names of Trustees for the Company.

In consequence of the great number of applications for share-
in this Company which are daily received from all parts of the
country, the Provisional Directors feel it necessar,t to call the atten-
tion o ithe Public to the following Clause in the Prospectus, to the.
terms of which they will, in allotting the shares, be ti:opened most
strictly to adhere :
" As, under arrangements entered into with the Lynn and Ely,
Ely and Huntingdon, and Lynn and Dereharn Railway Companies,
a large proportion of the capital has been appropriated t the holders
of shares in those Companies, a very limited number of shares only
is at the disposal of the Provisional Directors, awl no application for
shares therefore c m be attended to, except from parties locally in-
terested and of the highest respectability.

The Committee have completed the allocation of shares in the
capital of this Company, and the allotment letters have been duly
issued.

They regret that, In consequence of the numerous applications
from parties locally interested, the requests of many highly respect-
able and influential parties have necessarily been passed by.
The Committee are now engaged in forwarding the required ar-
rangements for a strict compliance with the standing orders, and they
have much satisfaction in stating that the Parliamentary survt ys of
the whole line are completed.
It is with full confidence, therefore, that they anticipate a success-
ful application to Parliament in the ensuing session.

LONDONandYORK RAILWAY'
iJ The Shareholders are hereby informed that the Bill for the
London and York Railway having, in the last session, passed the
House of Commons, and having also passed the Standing Orders
Committee of the House of Lords, will be resumed at that stage im-
mediately on the meeting of Parliament, under the resolutions of both
Houses giving this privilege to Railway Bills in the state of that of the
London and York ; and that the notices to that effect, required by
those resolutions to be given in certain newspapers during this month
of October and in November, are now in course of publication.
Having now ascertained the extent of their liabilities consequent
upon the very severe and protracted, though successful, contest of
last session, the Directors have the satisfaction to find that, though
the expenses have been unavoidably great, ample funds remain from
the original dep,sit of 21. 10s. rer share to meet any possible cost in
the ensuing session ; and as in the case of the London and York Bill,
it is not requisite ,under the standing orders, to increase the deposit of
51. per cent. on the capital already paid, and which continues lodged
with the Accountant-General of the Court of Chancery, it will be
unnecessary to make any further call upon the shareholders.
The Bill for the Wakefield branch, which, for want of time, was
not heard last session, is to be renewed ; and this branch is to be ex-
tended from Wakefield into the town of Leeds. Additional exten-
sions will also be propo ed from Stamford direct to Spalding; from
Hatfield through St. Alban's to Litton and Dunstable ; and to Hert-
ford—all which are in course of being surveyed preparatory to the
usual deposits and notices required by Parliament.
In conformity with the sessional orders under which Bills stand-
ing over from last session maintain their position in the ensuing
session, a new Subscription Contract will be prepared ; and notices
will shortly be given to the holders of the London and York and the
Bawtry Branch Scrip Certificates of Shares, to send the same in for
registry ; and of the time at which the New Deed will be lying for
signature in London and at the principal country towns.
The cost of tho Wakefield and other branch lines herein-men-
tioned, is to be provided for by means of forty thousand (40,000)
scrip Extension Shares of the value of 251. each, with a deposit of
2/. 103., being ten (10) per cent. as required by Parliament, to be
allotted to the Proprietors of the original or existing London and
York and Bawtry Scrip Shares of 501. each in the proportion of One
Extension Share of 25/. for Three of the Scrip Shares of 501.—and
the Subscription Contract for the branch lines will be ready for sig-
nature at the same time as the New Deed for the London and
York original line.

applications for more than eight times the number of shares to he al-

The object of this railway is to afford local accommodation to
the large population lying between Da oitwich, Stourbridge, and Wol-
verhampton, and at the same time to improve the chain of direct
communication between Manchester, Salisbury, and Poole, on the
one hand, and between Manchester and Southampton on the other.
The Ine will commence by a junction with the Birmingham and
Gloucester Railway, near Droitwich, and passing by the saltworks
at that place, and through or near the towns of Bromsgrove and
Stourbridge, will fall into the intended Grand Central station at
Wolverhampton, whence run connecting lines with 01l parts o
kingdom.
The importance of this communication, with reference only to the
wants and convenience of Droitwitch, was strongly dwelt upon in
Committees of Parliament during the last session, when it was proved
that a communication with • the .port of Southampton, as well as
with the agricultural districts of Wilts, Dorset, and Hants, must tend
to a very great extension of trade in salt, as well as in iron and coal
from the Staffordshire district.
Traversing a densely-populated district, and Improving the com-
munication from Liverpool, Manchester, and the north, with the
ports and towns ot the south and west of England, it is obvious the
line must also command a large passenger traffic.
The length of railway will be about twenty-four miles. Promoted
with the sanction and immediate support of the Manchester and
Southampton Company, it is intended, after satisfying the require-
ments of the district and other important interests, that a proportion
of the remaining shares in the line shall be distributed to such of the
shareholders in that Company as shall signify their desire for an al-
lotment on or before the 10th November next.
Tile levels. of the country have already been taken, and active
measures instituted for completion of the surveys, and the Directors
confidently hope to bring the • measure before Parliament in the en-
suing session.
Applications for shares may be made, in the annexed form, to the
Company's solicitor, at Manchester, or at the offices of the Company,

forcibly and repeatedly called to the necessity of a direct communi-
cation between Salisbury and Swindon, the 'station on the Great
Western Railway by which the most direct and remunerative con-
nexion will be formed between Southampton and Manchester.

The advantages in point of speed to be deriv,d from the broad
gauge as also the superiority of the gradients obtained by the route
of the Valley of the Avon, together with the imp•a•tance of placing
the city of Salisbury on the main trunk line from the north to

England.
The distance from Lincoln to Sheffield by this line will be forty
miles only, whereas the nearest route by any projected line distance at preof
