VALE OF NEATH RAILWAY.
The allotment of Shares in this Railway being now com,
pleted, the Committee of Management desire to express their regret
that they have been unable to comply so fully as they desired with
the applications of parties locally interrested, and of holders of Shares
in the South Wales Railway.
The publio generally will also accept as an apology, that owing to
the unprecedented number of applications, the Committee have been
compelled to overlook many of the very highest character and re-
spectability, and of necessity to limit the number of Shares in each
allotment

ELY and BURY ST. EDMUNDS RAILWAY.
A Company is in the course of formation for the construction
of a RAILWAY from the City of ELY to the Town of BURY ST.
EDMUNDS.
The Line will commence :by a Junction at Ely with the Eastern
ounties, Lynn and Ely, and Ely and Huntingdon Railways, and
willtenninate at Bury by a Junction with the Ipswich and Bury
Railway.
Its object is to preserve the mercantile connexion which has for
generations subsisted between the county of Suffolk, the town of
Bury, and the Port of Lynn, and to afford to Ipswich, Colchester,
and Bury, and all that portion of the kingdom, a direst communica-
tion with the manufacturing districts.
The distance from Bury, and consequently from all places eastward of
that town to Peterborough—the point at which so many Lines pass-
ing from the south and east tci the north and north-west converge—
will, by the Ely and Bury Lirie, be ten miles shorter than the route
to that City by way of Cambridge.

A detailed irosieetus will be issued immediately.

Notice is hereby given, that the Leicester and Tamworth Junction
Railway Company hays determined upon making a branch from their
line, commencing at or near Market Bosworth or Twycross, and running
from thence by or near Atherstone and the Whitacre Junction of the
Midlands (late Birmingham and Derby) Railway to Birmingham.
The Directors have determined to increase their capital by the
creation of Additional Shares, with reference to which further notice
will shortly be given. The surveys of this branch aro in progress,
which is reported as easy of construction, and free from engineering

difficulties.
The twofold advantages now offered by this project give it a mani
fest superiority over every other measure which has yet been de-
vised for traversing this rich and extensive, but hitherto unintersected
portion of the Midland Counties. The Leicester and Tamworth Junc-
tion, as originally projected, brings, by means of the Trent Valley Rail-
way, the important manufacturing town of Leicester and the Midlan
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 branch affords the shortest practicable railway
route from Leicester to Birmingham, :and the Western and South
Western Counties of England.
The construction of the Birmingham Branch 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 more direct line does -not appear desirable or
practicable, and the saving which will be effected of- more than half
the expense which must attach to the construction of an independent
line from Leicester to Birmingham is a most important consideration.

South Wales, abounding In natural harbours and mineral pro-
ductions, and celebrated for the magnitude and excellence of its
manufactures, is justly esteemed, both in a naval and commercial
point of view, as one of the most important districts of Great
Britain.
Its connexion with London has become of such paramount im-
portance as to demand the most direct and perfect communication
that can possibly be established. This is the main object of the pro-
posed undertaking.
This Railway will proceed from London to Hungerford by the
Great Western Railway, there leaving that railway and running
almost in a straight line by Marlborough, Caine, and Chippenham,
where it will again join the Great Western Railway : thus giving to
the towns of Marlborough and Caine (which at present have no
railway) a direct communication with London ; and also with Bath,
Bristol, the South Western Counties of England and South Wales.
From Chippenham the line will pass near Chipping Sodbury,
and proceed to the Bristol and Gloucester Railway at Westerleigh
(about eight miles from Bristol), and by a junction with that rail-
way the direct line from London to Bristol will be completed.
From Westerleigh the line will be continued to the river Severn at
Aust, and be carried across that river by means of the fixed bridge of
the Bristol and Liverpool Junction Railway. On the Monmouth-
shire side of the river it will proceed for another half mile over the
river Wye, direct to, and terminate at, the South Wales Railway,
near to Hunger Pill. This last half mile will of itself effect a saving
in distance between London and South Wales of about four miles.
By taking advantage, as far as possible, of existing railways, this
project will complete at once the most direct and best trunk-line
from London to Bath, Bristol, and the South-Western Counties of
England ; but more especially to Chepstow, Newport, Cardiff, Swan-
sea, Milford Haven, the whole of South Wales, and Ireland.
The following are the savings in distance effected by the proposed

This line will commence at the Reading Station of the Great
Western Railway, and proceed by Wokingham, Bracknell, Sunning-
hill, between Ascot and Bagshot, and by Chobham, and will cross the
South Western Railway near the Woking Station. It will proceed by
Ockham, Cobham, and Leatherhead, through the Vale of Mitkleham,
to Dorking, and thence on the north of Reigate to the Junction of
the Brighton and Dover Railways, at the Red Hill Station.
The line will be forty miles in length, and will complete a direct
railway communication to and from Bristol, the whole West of Eng-
land, North and South Wales, and every part of Great Britain lying
West and North of Oxford, with Brighton, Dover, and the Con-
tinent.
Whilst the proposed line presents no engineering difficultiem, it is
the one best suited to tho wants of the parties locally interested,whose
support is thus secured to the present undertaking ; and it has been
ascertained that, independently of a large local traffic, the through
transit of passengers and merchandize will realize an ample return
on the capital.
The capital intended to be raised is 600,0001., divided into 30,000
shares of 201. each. A deposit of 21. 2s. per share must be paid upon
allotment, in accordance with the Standing Orders of the House
of Lords ; and no call will be made until an act of parliament shall
be obtained, authorizing the construction of the works.
The liability of the Shareholders will be limited by the Act to the
amount of their shares respectively subscribed for; and power will
be applied fer to allow interest, at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum,
on the calls, from the date of each payment, until the opening of
the line.
The Subscribers' Agreement and the Parliamentary Contract must
be duly executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for cer-
tificates of scrip, of which notice will be given ; and the deposits
paid by parties making default in the due execution of the Sub-
scribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract within the time
limited will be forfeited.
In the allotment of shares, a preference will be given to parties
locally interested in the line, and to Shareholders of the Great Wes-
tern, South-Western, London and Brighton, and South-Eastern
Railways.
Applicatiors for shares, accompanied by a reference to some re-
spectable person, must be made in the form appended hereto, at the
temporary offices of the Company, No. 1, Old Jewry, London, or to
the solicitors, parliamentary, or local agents.:
FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

These great savings in distance are by no means the principal
features of the undertaking. By this direct communication between
London and Bristol the Box tunnel will be entirely avoided, an im-
portant fact which will no doubt have a most powerful effect with
passengers.
Moreover passengers to and ftont South Wales will be enabled to
travel at all times by means of the fixed bridge over the Severn at
the Aust or Old Passage; thus avoiding on the one hand the well-
known dangers, inconveniences, delays, and difficulties of the open
ferry of two miles and a half, at the New Passage, proposed by the
Bristol and South Wales Junction Railway Company ; and, on the
other hand, the tunnel of about a mile under the Severn, proposed by
the South Wales Railway Company, which (even if capable of con-
struction) must ever leave the public apprehensive of accident.
Reference to a Map will clearly demonstrate that the great stream
of passengers and traffic between London, Bristol, the South-Western
Counties and Ireland will flow through the proposed line and South
Wales to Milford Haven and Fishguard Harbour. The establishment
of Valentia, as the chief.put-port to the Canadas and the United
States, will mm cover create a traffic, via South Wales, never hitherto
contemplated. lint supposing Valentia should not become that out-
port, there can 'be no doubt that Milford Haven, from its extreme
western position and natural advantages, must.
Independently of the passenger traffic above referred to, the faci-
lities which the line will afford to the unequalled iron works of
South Wales, and the extensive copper and tin works of Swansea and
Neath must induce the manufacturer to transmit his goods with
safety, economy, and rapidity by rail, rather than with hazard and
delay by sea.
A new and most important market will be opened to the owners
of collieries in South Wales. Newport will be brought within 129
miles of London ; and it may be confidently asserted that the Metro-
polis will draw an immense supply of coal from that neighbourhood,
inasmuch as coal of most excellent quality can be delivered in Lon-
don from the Welsh collieries at about 15s. per ton.
The principal advantages of direct railway communication between
important termini are now too universally admitted both by Parlia-
ment and the public to need argument. Many important direct lines
have been already favourably received; but when the savings in distance
—the avoidance of a ferry and tunnels—the new channels for traffic—
the giving of railway accommodation to a largo district—and the
establishment of the most direct and complete communication be-
tween London and Bath, Bristol, and South Wales are recollected—
and especially that these important benefits can be obtained by the
formation of a line filly-two miles only in length—it is confidently as-
serted that the proposed railway holds out advantages superior to
any hitherto projected, and will at the same time prove, if not the
most, one of the most profitable Investments ever offered to the
public.
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.
Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this
Company shall be under the management and control of the Com-
mittee of Management, as appointed.
Power will be applied for in the Act—and in the meantime is
hereby given to the Committee of Management—to increase the
capital, if necessary ; to alter or abandon any part of the line, to
make branch lines, or enter into arrangements with any other com-
pany 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.
Applications for prospectuses and shares may be made to the soli-
citor ; or to Messrs. Carden and Whitehead, Threadneedle-street ;
Mr. James Pearson, Birmingham: Messrs. Cardwell and Co., Man-
chester ; Messrs. 11. Davies and Co., and Messrs. Ilaselden and Son,

No application for Shares can be received after the 17th inst.' nor
will any be attended to, unless reference be made to one of the Pro-
visional Committee, the solicitor, bankers, or brokers of the Company.

In consequence of the numerous applications for Shares in this un-
dertaking, and the favourable way it has been received from all
quarters, the Committee do not feel it recessary continually to pub-
lish the full Prospectus, but they beg to inform the Public, the
applications for Shares will be shortly closed, of which due notice
will be given.
Forms and Prospectuses may be obtained of the different agents,
at the Company's Offices, 52, Regent-street, and D. E. Colombine,
Esq., 8, Carlton Chambers.

Originating at Theater, by a junction with the Oxford and Cam-
bridge line through Wolverton; in connexion with the Eastern Coun-
ties, the South and Midlands Junction will afford facility of inter-
course with the metropolis in one direction, with Stafford, the Pet-
teries,
Birmingham, Liverpool, and Manchester in the other ; near '
Woodstock, close to which the projected line will pass, the Oxford
and Rugby and Oxford and Worcester Railways cross, presenting
,pportunitles of entering the two great railway arteries of the king-
dom—the Great Western and the Lcndon and Birmingham, the for-
mer at Dudcot, the latter at Rugby.
Proceeding to the manufacturing town of Witney, a line is crossed
communicating with the Stroudwater district of manufactures by the
Oxford and Cheltenham Railway, thence the projected line trends di-
rectly S.W., leaving Bampton to the east, until it reaches Lechlade,
a town seated at the efflux of the Thames and Severn navigation
with the River Thames, and where a considerable entrepot for mer-
chandise is established.
Keeping within easy distances of Farringden, Cricklade, and High-
worth, it reaches Swindon, a rapidly improving vicinity. At this
principal station, where the broad gauge is crossed, the Gloucester
and Cheltenham line falls into the Great Western.
The Intersection of the South and Midland Junction with the Great
Western at Swindon opens a most extensive and valuable communi-
cation with Louden eastward; Bristol, Bath, Gloucester, Chelten-
ham, Stroud, westward ; and, by the Gloucester and Aberystwith
projected line, with the whole of North and South Wales.
Applications for prospectuses, plans, may beilutde, and forms of ap-
plication for Shares had, at the office of W. B. James, Esq., solicitor,

This project is intended to form the most direct communication
between the important grazing country of the Lincolnshire Marshes
and the large manufacturing and consuming districts of the Midland
and Northern Counties ; and to establish an immediate connexion
between the East Coast and South Wolds of Lincolnshire, and the
various coal fields in Yorkshire, Derbyshire, and Staffordshire,
thereby facilitating the export of corn, wool, cattle, and other agri-
cultural produce, and the import of coal, timber, stone, slate, seeds,
oil-cake, and artificial manures.
By this line (in communication with other railways), Birmingham,
Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Wakefield, Nottingham,
Derby, Stafford, the Potteries, and other important manufacturing
towns, will be placed in direct connexion with Hamburgh, Rotter-
dam, Antwerp, and the principal seaports of the north of Europe ;
between which places and Wainfleet the voyage will be several hours
shorter than from either Hull or Grimsby.
There is a good passenger traffic generally throughout the line,
swelled by the large and numerous fairs, held at Lincoln, Horticastle,
Spilsby, Partney, Burgh, and Wainflect (for horses, cattle, and
sheep), and by the visitors to Skegness, one of the principal watering
places on the Lincolnshire coast, the whole of which will be mate-
rially increased by railway accommodation.
The improvement of the extensive harbour of Wainfieet Haven,
and the forming there a perfect shipping station for the manufactur-
ing districts, is one of the important features in this undertaking.
This haven possesses natural roadsteads of a superior description,
offering a safe anchorage for shipping of any burthen, in 24 fief of
water, at ebb tide, close to the shore at Gibraltar Point. Any num-
ber of ships can ride safely at anchor; and large fleets of merchant-
men frequently resort thither for safety during the prevalence of
northerly gales, an advantage imperfectly possessed by both Hull and
Grimsby; added to which, a great saving will be effected in the Cus-
tom, dock, and harbour dues, as well as in pilotage and Insurance.
No sea works of any magnitude will be required.
The length of the proposed line will be about 40 miles, and the
country does not present any engineering difficulties.
No railway in existence Air In contemplation provides accom-
modation for the district of country through which this line will
pass. Application has been made to the principal landowners ou the
line, and no objection is anticipated.
A portion of the Shares will be reserved for parties locally inter-
rested, and the remainder will be allotted to persons giving un-
exceptionable references. No Shareholder will be liable beyond his
subscriltion.
The Subscribers' Agreement will contain powers to the Provisional
Committee to run Into other railways now or hereafter to be made,
and to alter the termini of the proposed line, so that the main ob-
ject of the scheme be carried out.
Applications for shares, in the subjoined form, may be made to the
solicitors and to the following sharebrokers :—Mr. King, 3, Bar-
tholomew-lane, London ; Messrs. Parsons and Townley, Liverpool;
Mr. Newbury, Manchester; Mr. Ironside. Sheffield ; Mr. Pollard,

cording to the plan and intention, as originally proposed, of the Direct
London and Exeter railway. The projectors were prevented by the
unavoidable absence of their engineer, and the deputation who in-
tended to be present at the meeting lately held in Cornwall, Mingling
their plan before it on that occasion, though it is, In fact, the only one
really practicable to effect the object in view, hem wholly free from
the objections attendant on a junction of several small Companies
working from the South Western.
The Committee regret t find that the plan of a line from London
to Falmouth, first projected by the present Company, should, with
many of its peculiar features, have been recently adopted by others,
in a way calculated to mislead the public mind into a belief, that the
undertaking has been projected by them, though it was never sug-
gested till the Direct London and Exeter Company made the commu-
nication from London to Falmouth a main principle of action.
The extension line will proceed from Exeter to Cheriton, Oke-
hampton, Launceston, Bodmin, St. C.:dumb, Truro, and Penzance,
with branches from Okehampton to Barnstaple and Ilfracombe, one
from Launceston to Plymouth, and another from Truro to Falmouth.
The deficiency of traffic, population, and trade, for any undertaking
wholly confined to Cornwall and Devonshire is admitted beyond dis-
pute, but arrangements have been made for immediately carrying
out the line from Exeter to Falmouth, with that of London to Exeter,
so as to form one integral communication from London to Falmouth
and Penzance, worked by two capitals, for ono object and under one
Company, and which will form a highly profitable undertaking, as an
integral scheme.
Any parties interested In the success of this national undertaking,
are requested to communicate with the Committee forthwith, and
are particularly advised not to pledge themselves to any other plan
attempted to interfere with the original project of the Direct London
Any other undertaking will,
and Exeter Company. upon examina-
tion, be found wanting in all the requisites for ultimate success, and
the failure of which must create great loss to the subscribers of any
competing line. on
The Prospectus of the entire line, under e management, will be
published in a few days; meanwhile any Mrther information, plans of
the line, and codes of the letter addressed to the landowners of
Cornwall, may be obtained of D. E. Colombine, Esq., 8, Carlton
