that they hare 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 public 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-

allotment.

EASTER .1 COUNTIES RAILWAY COMPANY.
The Directors of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, observ-
ing that, in the Advortisements of the Chelmsford and Bury Railway
Company, it is stated that their particular line is supported and
sanctioned by the Eastern Counties Railway Company, have to an-
nounce that no such support or sanction has been given.
The Company's engineer, Mr. Robert Stephenson, has been
strutted to examine the entire district, and to advise upon the line
of railway to be constructed through it, which the Eastern Counties
Railway Company must sanction as most conducive to public inte-
rest. By order of the Board,
A BULKELEY, secretary.
Offiees, London Terminus, Aug. 12, 1845.

Notice is hereby given, that the Leicester and Tamworth Junction
Railway Company have determined upon making a branch from their
line, commencing at or near Market Bosworth or Twycross, and running
from thence by or near Athorstone 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 are 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 its natural harbours and mineral pro-
ductions, and celebrated for the magnitude and excellence of its
manuf•ctures, 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 : • tits 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, find terminate at, the South Wiles 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 mere 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
line :
Between London and Bath, via Hungerford, the pro-
posed line as far as Chippenham, and the Great.
Western Railway •••••• • • • • • .
Between London and Bristol, via Hungerford, the
proposed line as far as Westerleigh, and the Bristol
and Gloucester Railway.. • • • • • • • .
Between London and the whole of South Wales, via
the Great Western Railway, the proposed tunnel
under the Sevens at Hock Crib, and the South
Wales Railway to 'Hunger Pi 11........ • • about 16 miles.
Between London and the whole of South Wales, via
the Great Western,. and the Bristol and Liverpool
Junction Railways •••••••••••• • • • • • • • •
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 from 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 band, the tunnel of about a mile under the Severn, proposed by
the e'outh 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 out-port to the canadas and the United
States, will moreover create a traffic, via South Wales, never hitherto
contemplated. But supposing Valentia should not become that out-
port, there can be no doubt that Milibrd 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. Lo-
ndon 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 fifty-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 Committee of Management have now completed the allot-
ment of Shares in this undertaking, and the allotment letters will be
posted this evening. From the immense number of applications
made by persons residing at Manchester, Chester, and places on the
line having a local interest, the Committee have been under the ne-
cessity of passing over the applications of a great number of per-
sons of known respectability. From the same cause the number
allotted in London and other places to persons not locally interested
has been materially abridged below the number originally intended to
be appropriated in those quarters. The Committee have, therefore,
.to request that all persons not receiving letters of allotment will
accept this statement as a sufficient explanation of the reason why
an allotment has not been made in their favour.

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 Cho:Main, and will cross the
South Western Railway near the Woking Station. It will proceed by
Ockham, Cobham; and Leatherhead, through the Vale of Mickleham,
to Dorking, and thence on the north of Reigate to the Junction of
the Brighton and Dover Railways, at the Red 11111 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 difficulties, it is
the ono best suited to the wants of the partieslocally intercsted,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 merehandize will realize an ample return

This extension has been adopted for the purpose of continuing the
direct lineof railway from London to Falmouth and Penzance, Re-
by the

unavoidable absence of their engineer, and the deputation who. in-
tended to be present at the meeting lately held in Cornwall, bringing
their plan before it on that occasion, though it is, In fact, the only one
really practicable to effect the object in view, being 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,
hi 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-
nicntion from London to Falmouth a main principle of action.
The extension line will proceed from Exeter to Cheriton, Oke-
' hainpton; Launceston, Bodmin, St. Columb, Truro, and Penzance,
with branches tom 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
wholy confined to Cornwall and Devonshire is admitted beyond dis-
pute, but arrangements hare been made for immediately carrying
out the line from Exeter to Fahnouth, with that of London to Exeter,
so as to form one integral communication from London to Falmouth
and Penzance, worked by two capitals, for one 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
and Exeter Company. Any other undertaking
will, upon examina-
tion, be found wanting in
all the requisites for ultimate success, and
the failiii-e'd iihich mast create great loss to the subscribers of any
.
competing line.
The Pioiliectlis Of the entire line, under one management, will be
publisheffin if feW tlays;thelinwitile any further information, Vans of.
the line, and ccries of the letter addressed to the landowners of
Cornwall, may be obtained of D. E. Colombino, Esq., 8, Carlton
Chambers, Regent-street, Solicitor to the entire Company, to whom,
or to the Provisional Committee, at 52, Regent-street, applications
for Shares may be made in the usual form.
N.B. This announcement having reference to the additional capital
required for the extension merely. win not in any way interfere with
the applications for shares, in the Direct London and Exeter Railway.
