The proposal of the lines of the London, Worcester,
and South Staffordshire Railway through the district to
the west of London and Birmingham Railway, has called
for the revival of a line in connection with the London
and Birmingham and Midland Railways, from the point
of junction between those lines at Hampton•in-Arden to
\Varwick and Leamington, for which plans and sections
were deposited by the Birmingham and Derby Railway
Company (now united with the Midland Company) in
1841 and 1842, with a continuation of such line from
Warwick and Leamington to join the London, Worcester,
and &uth Staffordshire Railway, the necessity for which
was specially referred to in the prospectus of that under-
taking, issued last autumn. This junction will be effected
by two lines—one to the neighbourhood of Southam, and
the other following the Valley of the Avon till it joins the
Stratford and Moreton Railway, near Stratford-upon-
Avon, which crosses the London and Worcester line. To
complete the communication with Cheltenham, a branch
will be made out of the London and Worcester line from
Evesham to Ashchurch, on the Birmingham and Glou-
cester line.

These objects are considered of so much importance by
the local interests, that their full support has been ob-
tained for carrying them into effect.
The Report of the Board of Trade in favour of the
London add Worcester line states so fully the peculiar
advantages of the scheme, that it is unnecessary to repeat
them here. The reasons there given for the adoption of
that measure apply in a great degree in favour of the
present proposal, as compared tvith any rival scheme, and
the lines now proposed are so connected with the London,
Worcester, and South Staffordshire scheme, and with the
system of railway communication which the Board of
Trade have recommended in their Report, that the success
of the scheme may be considered to render certain the
adoption of the present project. Allusion may, however,
be made to the great importance of the junction at
Hampton, in connection with the Trent and Churnet
Valley lines, by means of which a direct and uninterrupted
communication will be established with Lancashire and
the North.

The London and Birmingham, Midland, and London
and Worcester Companies unite in co-operation with the
local interests, to insure the most effectual completion of
the objects i❑ view.
A guarantee will be proposed by the abovementioned
Companies, and a due proportion of the shares will be
reserved for local interests.

Careful surveys of the whole of the country have been
made under the direction of Mr. Robert Stephenson,
and application will be made to Parliament for an Act in
the next Session.

The Applications for Shares having already exceeded
the number for ;Allotment, no further applicationa can be
received.
