It Is proposed to commence this line of railway at Birmingham, at
a point contiguous to the railways from the north, and to proceed
thence to or near Henley-in-Arden, Stratford-on-Avon, wittiston,
Chipping Norton, Woodstock, Oxfold, Wallingford, and Carer:ton,
crossing the Great Western Railway at Reading, thence contlinting
in a direct course through or near Oakingliatn to Farnioriagh,
where it will cross the South Western Railway, and proceed through
or near Guildford, crossing the London and Portsmouth Atmospheric
Railway, and continuing through or near Godalming,, and Horsham,
to Brighton and Shoreham, thus connecting the great manufacturing
districts of Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cheshire, Nottinghamshire, Der-
byshire, and Leicestershire; the iron and coal districts of shrGpshire,
Staffordshire, and Warwickshire; the Potteries„ the salt-works of
Droitwich, and the entire north of England and Scotland with the
southern districts; and perfecting a direct line of communication
between the Irish Sea and the Bristol Channel with the Eugdsh
Channel, at its most important and convenient point.
By this railway the most direct channel of communication via Di-
eppe or Ilavre, with Paris, the whole of Central Europe, and the
Mediterranean, will be effected.

By the junction of this line with the Portsmouth Atmospheric Rail-
way at or near Guildford, the very important port and arsenal of
Portsmouth will be placed in direct communication with Rirming-
ham and the whole of the manufacturing districts.
The communication between the important districts accommo-
dated by this lin:,' is now carried on by a very circuitous route, sub-
jecting it to great delay, which will be entirely avoided ; and this line
of direct communication between termini of the utmost importance,
without change of carriage between Birmingham and Brighton, and
its consequent expense and loss of time, will also afford great local
accommodation to the fertile, populous, and wealthy districts which
are traversed by it.
To Iterkshlre, Surrey, and Sussex, to which sea-borne coal Is now
imported at great coast, and with much uncertainty, Staffordshire
and Warwickshire coal may be conveyed by this railway at a great
reduction inprice.
The products of the manufacturing districts will, by this line, find
the most direct communication with Paris and central Europe ; and
the interchange of stone, lime, ties, cattle, wool, grain, malt, and
hops, and all the produce of the districts traversed by this hue, will
be greatly facilitated.
The intercourse already existing between the proposed termini of
this line is very considerable, notwithstanding. the circuitous and
necessarily expensive route ; but considerable as it is, it must be evident that such intercourse, whether for business or pleasure, will
be greatly promoted by the construction of this direct railway com-
munication.

There can be no doubt, that important as this line will be found as
a channel for the train:, between the termini, it will derive a great
profit from the traffic of the Northern and Midland Counties, and
the Continent, whilst the railways converging at binninghatn, those
lines which this will intersect, and the new lines now constracting
along the coast, will afford communication with the entire of Eng-
land.

follows :

This Line, which, subject to the decision of the Gauge Commis-
sioners, will be constructed on the Broad Gauge principle, will com-
mence at the Worcester Station of the Great Eastern and Western
Railway, and, proceeding by Redditch and Henley-in-Arden, will
touch Warwick and Leamington, and end at Rugby, the terminus of
the Midland Counties Railway and of the proposed Rugby and Hunt-
ingdon Junction Railway. It will communicate with Droitwich,
Studley, Alcester, and Stratford-on-Avon.
At Warwick, it will unite with the Birmingham and Oxford Junc-
tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon-
don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway ; and at
Rugby, with the London and Birmingham, the Midland Counties,
and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railways.
The country through which it will pass, is thickly populated, and
of the richest description. It presents no engineering difficulties, and
from its population, its manufactures, and agricultural produce, it
possesses sources of such abundant traffic as to render it highly re-
munerative to the Capitalists.

The object proposed is to complete the line of railway communica-
tion between the Western, Midland, and Eastern portions r.of the
Kingdom, and a glance at the Map of England will show that this
will be effected in the most direct manner by the present line ; touch-
ing, as it will, at one of its termini, a railway running direct from
Swansea to Worcester, and at the other, the projected line from
Rugby to Huntingdon—from which point a railway communication
has been already provided.
By means of this Railway, the manufactures of all the towns and
the agricultural produce of the country contained within its range,
as well as the Ports on the Eastern and North-Eastern Coast, will
have opened to them a direct and unbroken communication with
the great and densely-populated mineral fields of New South Wales,
as well as the markets of the markets of the Northern portion of the
principality.

The advantages of a direct railway carriage over the more
tedious process of carriage by water, to say nothing of the economy
in saving the expense, as well as the damage incident to many kinds
of goods by the frequent transhipment required by the latter, are
too obvious to demand more than this slight allusion.
To the population: along the line as well as to the Midland and
Northern portions of the kingdom, this undertaking will present the
most direct communication with those towns of fashionable resort—
Leamington and Cheltenham. To the inhabitants of Leamington
and Warwick, it will open the most direct communication with the
city of Worcester and South Wales, whilst to the inhabitants of
Worcester, it will open the markets of the Eastern portions of the
country.

The Shareholders in the several railways proposed to be joined or
intersected, will have a preference in the allotment of shares In this
undertaking.
No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the Act is
obtained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at four
pounds per centum on all calls from the time of their respective
payments, and to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount
of their subscription.
