The proposed railway will 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 be.
about 56 miles.

The advantages that will result from the construction of this lime
are numerous and highly important, and such as cannot fail to secure
a very large amount of locall and through traffic, and a highly-re-
muneratiVo return upon the capital Invested. By means of existing
anti proposed railway s, it will form a complete chain t f railway com-
munication between flu whole of the midland and north-eastern
counties ofEngland, 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 Hull,
into direct communication with the favourite and fashionable spas of
Leamington and Cheltenham, the richly-prolactive and far-tamed
Yale of Eirshain, and the seaports of Gloucester, Bristol, Plymouth,
and Fal!nouth, and those of South Wales.
The Inhabitants and visitors of the much-frequented watering-
places of Leamington and Cheltenham, trill 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
resn't to Stratford-on-Avon.

To those passengcra from the east and north-east, direct to Glou-
Gloucester, the line from Tewkesbury, cutting off the angle of the
Birmingham and Gloucester Railway to Chelteultam, 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 junctlen 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 adVarn.
tageona ; situated within ten miles of the important pity 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 incon-, enienee, and restore its trade to its former state of
prosperity.
The valtte of this line to the city and port lit unt%W.llttr Cannot
be too highly estimated, as It will not billy Open to it imment e
sources of traffic from the whnle or the eastern and north-eastern
counties, but will very Materially
