The Committee have much satisfaction in stating that arrange-
ments are in satisfactory progress for an amalgamation with the
Saundersfoot Company for securing the use of their line, and other
works, and that I h surveys of the short extension of the old line are
complete, and the whole of the necessary deposits can be made be-
fore the 25th November next, so as to insure the application being
made to Parliament in the ensuing session. The assent of almost
every landowner on the line has already been obtained, and nego-
tiations are in progress with the South Wales Railway, so that there
is every reason to believe that the measure will be carried out with-
out any opposition.

Prospectuses may be obtained of the solicitors and local agents, and
of Messrs. Carden and Whitehead, Threadneedle-street, London ;
Edwards and Son, and Tate and Nash, Bristol ; Beaumont and Lang-
worthy, Exeter ; J. Woods, junior, Liverpool ; J. Fernyhough, Man-

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 b•
about 56 miles.
The advantages that will result from the construction of this line
are numerous and highly important, and such as cannot Nil to secure
a very large amount of local and through traffic, and a highly-re-
munerative return upon the capital invested. By means of existing
and proposed railway s, it will form a complete chain ,f railway com-
munication between the whole of the midland and north-eastern
socenties of England, 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 Bull,
into direct communication with the favourite and fashionable spas of
Leamington and Cheltenham, the richly-productive and far-tamed
Yale of Evesham, anti the seaports of Gloucester, Bristol, Plymouth,
and Falmouth, and those of South Wales.
The inhabitants and visitors of the much-frequented watering-
places of Leamington and Cheltenham will thus obtain a direct line
between those resorts, instead of tile present circuitous route through
Birmingham, affording that facility of intercommunication which
has long bean 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
resort to Stratford-on-Avon.

To thosepassengers from the east and north-east, direct to
Gloucester, the line from Tewkesbury, cutting off the angle of the
Birmingham and Gloucester Railway to Cheltenham, will afford a
great accommodation. and a saving in d'stance of at least eight miles,
besides the delay of the stoppage at Cheltenham.

At Tewkesbury it will also form a
.lailetien;;ith the proposed line
from that place to Malvern, affording the most direct communication
to the numerous visitors to the magniticent scentry and invigorating
atmosphere of the celebrated_ Malvern-hills.

To the inhabitants of the ancient and populous borough ofTewkes •
bury this portion of the proposed line -will prove ImmenSely advan-
tageous ; situated within ten miles of the important city 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, arid prejudiced the interests of
the town. The proposed line, running close to the town, will remove
this great incon: enience, and restore its trade to its former state of
prosperity.

The value of this line to the city and port of Gloucester cannot
be too highly estimated, as it will not only open to It immen. e
sources of traffic from the whole of the eastern and north-eastern
counties, but will very materially lessen the distance betwee❑ it
and Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire, snaking
Gloucester still more securely the nearest and most accesible outlet
for the whole of that immensely productive manufacturing region,
and it is impossible to conceive any
.project better calculated to
advance the interests of Gloucester, than one capable of effecting
that object.

Ths line will also form an Important-junction between the London
and Birmingham and Midlands Railways, and the Bristol and
Gloucester Railway, and constitute the highway for the traffic of the
.former, and of all the north-eastern railways. to the proposed Man-
chester and Southampton Railway at Cheltenham ; and the through
traffic from the latter source alone is expected to be very great.
It will thus have the effect of connecting the ports of the eastern
and north-eastern with those of the western and southern coasts.
of affording the most direct and convenient access from the nort
and east to the vast mineral regions of South Wales, and of opening
new markets for the rich products of the fertile valleys of the Avon
and Severs, and the agricultural districts of Warwickshire and Wor•
cestershire, in the manufacturing towns and ports of the north.
The line will be easy of construttion, traversing, as it does, through
nearly its whole length, the valleys of the Avon and Severn. The
towns through which it will run are very populous, and the country
of the richest description ; and the local-traffic will consequently be
very great in addition to the through traffic, which on such a line
must necessarily be very extensive.
The Provisional Co,iimittee reserve to themselves the pcwer to
amalgamate with any other company as to the whole or ally part of
the line, and to vary or extend the line, and to increase or diminish
the capital accordingly, if deemed expedient.
The capital proposed to be raised is 1,000,0001., in shares of 201.,
each, upon which a deposit of 21. 2s. per share must be paid upon
allotment.

The habgly of the subscribers will be limited by the Act to the
amount of Oeir respective subscriptions to the capital stock, and
power will be applied for in the Act to allow interest at the rate of
41. per cent.pft- annum on the amount of the deposit, and upon the re-
spective calls, f 1 the date of each payment until the opening of the
line.

The Subscribers' Agreement and the Parliamentary Contract will
be required to be duly executed when the bankers' receipts are ex-
changed for certificates of scrip, of which due notice will be given ;
and the deposits paid by persons making default in due execution of
the Subscribers' Agreement and' Parliamentary Contract within' the
time to be limited by such notice, will be absolutely fvrfeiteti.

The object of this undertaking is to open a direct line of rail-
way to connect the Northern, Eastern, and Sodth Essex Railways,
by means of a steam ferry from Tilbury Fort to Gravesend, with
Tunbridge Wells, Lewes, and B ighton.
It is contemplated to proce,d from the Eastern Counties Rail-
way at or near Harlow station to Tilbury, crossing the river
by a steam •floaling.bridge to Gravesend, passing by (ohham,
Snodland, Mailing, and Hadlow to Tunbridge, thence by the bouth.
Eastern Railway ro Tunbridge Wells, passing Uckfleld to Lewes,
and thence joining the Brighton, Lewes, and Hastings Ratlway to
Brighton,

•
An inspection or the map will clearly show the great import,
ance of this railway, whether considered in a local or mistime
point of view, forming as it will a most useful chain of local com-
munication for the fertile and populous tracts through which il
passes. •

It will bring the Northern and Eastern Counties, the mouth of
the Thanuti, mid North Kent, into direct communication, by
way of Brighton, with Dieppe and Havre, and thus form, in con-
junction with the railways sow in progress on the Continent, the
shortest possible route to Paris and the Mediterranean.
By this railway the large population of the North Eastern Conn_
ties, numbering nearly two millions, will have a direct andl easy
communication with the whole of the populous and important
counties of Kent and Sussex, without going round to Londom, and
thereby avoiding the inconvenience arising from the unconnected
lines north and south of the metropolis.
The utility of this line to the naval and military service, both in
times of peace and war, for the conveyance of troops and stores, is
evident.

With the existing railways, and those now in progress in rent
and. Sussex, a most complete system of local communication %%ill be
effected ; and as such, the projeet has been received with the nest
distinguished approbation and pledges of support from the principal
proprietors along the line, and the Corporation of Gravesend have
promised their entire sanction to, and will cordially support it.
The ground has been carefully surveyed, and found is present
no difficulties to the formation of a good working line.

The existing local traffic has been ascertained to be amply suf-
ficient to fulfil the requirements of the undertaking; but a Large
accession of valuable traffie cannot fail to be the result of the
increased accommodation thus afforded to the public, and rendering
the undertaking one of the most important as well as productive
lines of railway in that part of the country.
The Committee reserve power to themselves to form broaches
from Snodland to Chatham and Maidstone.
The liability of the shareholders will be restricted by Act of
Parliament to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be
applied for in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum en
all calls, from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line-
