kNCHESTER AND MILFORD HAVEN
RAILWAY.
The Manchester and Birmingham Continuation and Welsh June-
tion Railway having been projected to traverse the same line of
country as the northern part of this lino, the Committee have con-
sidered it to be for the benefit of the Shareholders to avoid any Par-
liamentary contest ; and have, accordingly, entered into an arrange-
ment fbr the entire amalgamation of the two Companies, on equal
terms.
In pursuance of this arrangement, the line of the Manchester and
Milford Maven Railway will commence by a junction with the other
line, near Llangerrig, instead of at Crowe. The capital is reduced
to 1,500,0001.; and 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 receives; after
womEsDAT err, the Bth day of November .except ftom landowners
and gentlemen locally interested.

The object of this railway is to afford local accommodation to
the large population lying between Droitwich, Stourbridge, and Wol-
verhampton, and at the same time to improve tile chain of direct
communication between Manchester, Salisbury, and Poole, on the
one hand, and between Manchester and Southampton on the other.
The line will commence by a junction with the Binningham 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 all parts of the
kingdom.
Tho 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 01 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 tho line shall be distributed to such of the
shareholders in that Company as shall signify their desire for au al-
lotment on or before the 10th November next.
The levels of the country have already been taken, and active
measures iustituted 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,

the applications for shares in their line, have had their attention
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.
'rhe advantages in point of speed to be derived from the broad
gauge, as also the superiority of the gradients obtained by the route
of the Valley of the Avon, together with the importance of placini:
the city of Salisbury on the main trunk line from the north to
Southampton, must insure to this undertaking the sanction of the
Legislature and the local support of the towns and districts through
which the line will pass.

Owing to he very large and unprecedented number of appli-

that in several cases persons of the highest respectability have been
accidentally overlooked.
It is trusted, however, that this explanation will be deemed =ln-

The Committee have also the pleasure of informing the applicants
for shares in this Company that the allotment is now completed, and
that the letters will be issued with the least possible delay. The
immense number of applicants, and their highly respectable cha.
meter, hate made the duty of selection both arduous and delicate 4
and, therefore, gentlemen who do not receive letters of allotment
will be pleased to consider this as a sufficient apology for the omission.

city of Lincoln to the populous and flourishing town of Sheffield,
and will also be the means of forming a complete line from Boston.

Retford, and Worksop to Manchester and Liverpool, and from Yar-
mouth, Norwich, and Lynn (by the use of the projected Pontofract,
Doncaster, and Worksop line), to those towns and all the north of
England.
The distance from Lincoln to Sheffield by this line will be forty
miles only, whereas the nearest route by any projected line at pre-
sent cannot be less than sixty miles, thereby saving a distance of
one-third, or twenty miles, as well as that of a needless expense.
The Committee have great pleasure in stating that they will be
quite ready to go to Parliament in the ensuing session.
The Committee are now busily engaged in alloting the shares, a
certain number of which aro reserved for landowners on the line,
others locally interested, and shareholders in connecting and interested
