This railway is intended to connect the south Wales Railway at
Chepstow with Gloucester, Cheltenham, and Birmingham, with the
projected Cheltenham, Oxford (and London direct), Gloucester, and
Aberystwith, Northampton and Cheltenham, and Manchester and
Southampton Railways ; thus forming an uninterrupted line of com-
munication from the South of Ireland, through Fishgard and Milford
in Pembrokeshire, to Gloucester, Cheltenham, Oxford, and London
direct, Southampton, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and the
North of England, by a less circuitous route than can be effected by
any of the projected plans for crossing the Sevens below Gaaucester,
thereby avoiding the difficulties which must necessarily be encoun-
tered in such an undertaking, and affording the important towns and
districts upon the intended lines that accommodation which their im-
portance entitles them to.
The whole of the traffic upon the South Wales line passing to the
Eastward of Chepstow will be carried on this line ; added to which
the coal and mineral traffic from the Forest of Dean (which, from
the Eastern aide to Gloucester, has been estimated upon authentic
documents and information, at upwards of 300,000 tons ; and from
the Western or Lydney and Chepstow side the same amount of traffic
may safely be calculated upon), amounting to 600,000 tons per an-
num (the produce of the Forest alone), must be carried upon the line,
Independent of the local passenger traffic and an extended trade in
the produce of the Forest, which will necessariiy follow the facilities
'offered by the proposed railroad.
The revenue from this source alone will give a very handsome di-
vidend un the capital to be iis expected will not
exceed three-forrths of the intended capital.
It is proposed to make branches to th Collieries and Iron Works
in the Forest, to the present or any new Ports which may suggest
themselves on the Severn ; and to make the River Wye, at Chep-
stow the port of foreign export, where vessels of any size can enter
free from the dangers and difficu
rocks andes attendant uponing thends navi
in gation
that
of the Severn, consequent upon the shift sa
river.
It is intended to build a bridge across the Severn at GlOucester,
which in no way obstruct the navigation ; and the proposed
Gloucester and Aberystwith Col pany will no doubt be ready to join
th's Company in the expense, if they obtain their Act. The cost of
the intended line from Chepstow to Gloucester, including the bridge
at Gloucester, and the one over the River Wye, at Chepstow, to join
the South Wales, with branches to the Collieries, Iron Works, and
the Severn, is not expected to exceed 450,0001., but it is intended to
provide a carital of 600,0.001. to meet any contingencies which may
arise.
A reference to the map will show the self-evident importance of
this line as essential to the perfecting the great project of MI South
Wales Railway Company (who have obtained their Act of Parlia-
ment for a railroad from Fishguard and Milford Haven to Chepsto,
atw)
n connecting it with the principal railways of the kingdoN
Gloucester, and making it the direct road to London, via Cheltenham
and Oxford, for effecting which projects are now before the public
with most influential support. The line is twenty-six miles in
length, has mrongineering difficulties; the gradients and curves are
extremely good, and works light.
It may with very great confidence be asserted, that there Is
scarcely a short line of railroad in the kingdom which offers
greater advantages to the Shareholders than the present.- Pros
vls'on will be made in the Act of Parliament which will be applied
for in the next Session to limit the liability of the Shareholder
to the amount 'of his Shares, and to allow four per cent. on the
calls.

Capital 250,0001., in 10,000 Shares of 251. each.
Deposit 21. 10s. per Share.
In consequence of the numerous representations made to this Com-
pany of the necessity and advantage of forming a branch line from
Salisbury to Poole, through Wimb orne, the Committee, into
ouplitanco
with the wishes thus exprcssed, have determined to carry this
important object.
The line will commence at Salisbury, and passing near Downton
and by Fordingbridge, will proceed on to Wimborne Minster, and
there
lete joining
direct the
com Southampmunication ton and Dorchester Railway, will com-
p the to Poole.
A survey of the country has been made, and the Committee are
enabled to state that the report of the engineers is highly satisfactory,
The minute and careful estimates of the traffic which have al-
ready been made, show a very large return on the amount of capital •
necessary for the undertaking ; and as the line will be constructed
and worked under the management of the Committee of this Com-
pany, a material saving in the ordinary expenses will be effected.
The capital to be raised for this purpose will be 2i0,0001., which
will be divided into 10,0(0 skates of 251. each.

. L. CROWIE, Secretary,

The promoters of this Railway, encouraged by the favourable sup-
port which has been given to the project, and in compliance with
various recommendations they have received, hare determined upon
the addition of a branch to Ilirkenileaci. which, although it will
manifestly tend to the advantage of the Shareholders and the public,
will be attended with coini dratively little additional outlay. The
project will still retain its chief characteristic of a direct railway,
and by its connexion, near Warriegton, with the Grand Junction
Company, is sufficiently comprehensive, without resorting to a com-
plicated system of branch lines, or materially couffictirg with the in-
terests of existing companies. .
The line will commence at the city of Chester, and proCeed by way
of Trafford, Frodsham, and Preston Brook, to Warrington, thence
by Lyinm and Stretford direct to Manchester. From a point on the
main line, near Frodsbam, a branch will be taken to join the Chester
and Birkenhead Railway, so as to unite Manchester in the most
direct manner possible, with the docks now being formed at lilr-
kenhead.
As Manchester, from its geographical position, is the centre of rail-
way communication between Seotiand and the most populous Me-
naces of England, so Chester, Item a like cause, is the great centre of
railway comtnunicattion between the capitals of Ireland and of Eng-
land. To connect these two points by a direct and independent line
of railway must, therefore, be of the utmost importance, not only in
a local point of view, but to the whole commercial intercourse of the
country.
This line will he the most direct route, by Holyhead, to Ireland,
and will be, in all respects, by far the preferable channel of inter-
course and transit between Ireland and the great manufacturing dis-
tricts of England. fly the railways connecting Chester with Wrex-
ham, Oswestry, Shrewsbury, Hereford, Gloucester, and South Wales,
this will be the nearest route from Manchester to the south-
western parts of England,• and to the minerals of Monmouth and
Glamorganshire The communication with Bristol, Gloucester, and
Exeter will be speedy and direct. On reference to the map, it will
be seen that a very considerable distance will be saved by this line,
as compared with the present circuitous routes by Crewe and by
Birkenhead; the former being 52 miles, and the latter 46
while the proposed Hue is only 34 miles, saving in the one case IS
miles, and in the other 12 miles, besides the serious inconvenience, loss
of time, and expense of passing through Liverpool, and crossing the
water at that place.
It is confidently expected that this line will be the precursor of
another scheme, of no ordinary importance—namely, to render
'heater an efficient port for large vessels.
This subject was entertained by Sir John Rennie in 1835, and sub-
sequently, in the same year, by the late Mr. Chapman, who wrote an
able report upon the capabilities of the river Dee. It was again
nvestigated, in 1837, by Sir John Rennie and Mr. George Remington,
and the practicability of forming a good navigable channel for vessels
of largo burden, together with docks at Chester, was then fully and
clearly established.
The entrance channel would commence at Dawpool. which is easy
Of access (and infinitely preferab e, in point of access and safety, to
the docks at Liverpool or Birkenhead), for vessels of large burden,
during eight hours every tide, both at springs and neaps ; and the
alit -of the lock would be sufficiently low to admit vessels drawing 20
feet water to enter at all tides.
This railway, therefore, in connexion with the proposed docks,
will render to Chester and Manchester incalculable advantages. To
the former it will restore the proper position natural to so important
a city ; to the latter it will give another outlet, by sea, to the ma-
nufacturing districts, free of the heavy port charges, dues, and
risks to which the produce is now subject. It has not been thought
advisable to combine the two objects in one company at present,
but should it be found requisite, the two may hereafter be amaiga-
. mated.
Merits of no ordinary degree, therefore, may fairly be claimed for
this railway, whether taken in connexion with the proposed docks,
eras standing alone, combining as it does all the advantages of ally
other linei, pith this great addition, that it will be the high road to
the most convenient outport of Manchester, and will be quite inde-
pendent of any associations or influences that might tend to oppose
the growing desire for a means of direct and independent communi-
cation between Manchester and the port of Chester.
The line has been carefully examined, There arc no difficult
earth-works to be encountered ; ou the contrary it will he cheap,
and of easy formation. Power is reserved to the Committee to de-
viate from the proposed line in the vicinity of Manchester, Should
ulterior arrangemeuts render it expedient.

At a meeting of the Committee of Management of this under-
taking, held this day, it was resolved that, in order to comply with
the standing orders of the House of Lords, as recently altered, it is
expedient to reduce the amount of each share to 201., and to extend
the number to 50,000, and that the deposit required be 21. 2s. on each
share, and that, in consequence of this alteration in the amount and
number of shares and the deposit required, the period within which
shares must be applied for be extended to the 28th instant for the
