The Directors think it desirable to stale that they sometime
sine:: instructed Mr. Stephenson to prepare for Parliament in the
next session a complete system for supplying railway communi-
cation with the whola of Kent. It is proposed to provide direct lines to
Tunbridge, Maidstone, Gravesend, Rochester, Chatham, Faversham,
Canterbury, and Dover. The surveys have been for some weeks in
progress, and the whole scheme will be very shortly In a complete
state. JOHN KIRKLAND, Chairman.

TIIE CHESTER AND MANCHESTER
DIRECT RAILWAY.

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.

By order, - • A. BARRETT, Secretary.

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 public generally will also accept as an apology, that owing to
the unprecedented number of applications, the Committee have beert_
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 MIRY 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
°unties, Lynn and Ely, and Ely and Huntingdon Railways, and
wlliterminate at Bury by a Junction with the Ipswich: and. Bury
RallNiay.•

Its object is to preserve the mercantile connexion which his 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 direct 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 cast to the north and north-west converge—
will, by the Ely and Bury Line, be ten miles shorter than the route
to that City by way of Cambridge.

A detailed Prospectus will be issued immediately.

Notice is hereby given, that the Leicester and Tamworth Junction
Railway Company hays determined upon tasking 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 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.

Originating at Mester, by a junction with the Oxford and Cam-
hridge line through Wolverton, In connexion with the Eastern Coun-
ties, the South and Midlands Junction will afford facility of inter-
coarse with the metropolis in one direction, with Stafford, the Pot-
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
'opportunities of entering the two great railway arteries of the king-
dom—the Great Western and the London and Birmingham, the for-
mer at Bucket, 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 Eampton to the east, antll it reaches Lechlade,
a town seated at the afilux 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 rarringdon, 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 London eastward; Bristol, Bath, Gloucester, Chelten-
ham, Stroud, westward ; and, by the Gloucester and Aberystwith
projected line, with the whole of North and South Wales.
