ON the formation of the BRISTOL and SOUTH WALES JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY, in April last, the Directors requested their Engineers to survey the country on the Monmouthshire side of the Severn, with a view to ascertain the most eligible line for a Railway to Monmouth, as that town and District would not be conveniently connected with Bristol, by any of the Railways then projected. Various circumstances delayed the Engineers'Report, and during the interval a scheme of a more extensive character has been brought forward, viz.:—One for a Railway from Bristol to Hereford with a lixed Bridge across the River Severn at the Aust Passage. After the most full deliberation the Directors consider that the announcement ot this project -ought not to alter the course they had intended to pursue, of providing the public with a mode of travelling from Bristol to Monmouth, suited to the re- sources of the country, and to the surmountable difficulties in- cident to a large navigable river. They can see no reason to expect that the Lords of the Ad- miralty (whose sanction the recent Land Clauses Consolidation Act has rendered necessary, when a Railway is to be carried over a Tidal River) will look on a bridge across the Estuary of the Severn, where it is nearly a mile and a half in width, with greater favor than they have lately shown with regard to one where the same River is only six hundred yards wide, and is not navigated by large vessels; and from long experience in Railway business the Directors are convinced, that no adequate Revenue for an outlay of Two Millions upon forty eight miles of country, possessing no peculiar resources, can justly be anti- cipated. They have carefully examined into all possible sources of Traffic, and though they are of opinion that a gross income might be produced of about Two Thousand Pounds per Mile per annum, which would yield a fair return on the cost ot a Railway connecting Chepstow and Monmouth, as a link in the general Railway scheme for that District, they believe that no person acquainted with Railway Statistics can justly anticipate an additional net revenue of Five per cent upon One Million pounds, the smallest sum at which the Bridge can be estimated. It should be recollected that many years must elapse before such a stupendous work across a rapid navigable River of such depth and width, and with the greatest rise of tide known lit the ■uioi Id, would be completed even if subscribed capital tor such a purpose could be relied upon and also that ere long thedis- tance between Bristol and the North, and North Westot Eng- land, will be so much lessened by the lines of Railway now before Parliament and the Public, that sixteen miles will be the utmost saving in travelling from Bristol to Liverpool via Mon- mouth, while to Manchester the Railways viei Gloucester must still afford the most direct communication. Whenever two Routes of equal facilities are open to the Public, the Proprietors of either ought not to anticipate more than half the travelling; and therefore the Directors believe that any expectation of monopolising the long traffic between Bristol and Liverpool or the adjacent districts is fallacious. For these reasons the project for a Bridge across the Severn, and for the forty-eight miles of Railway to be connected with it (requiring a gross revenue of at least one hundred and fifty thousand pounds per annum to pay the necessary expenses, and only five per cent. upon the present estimate of two million pounJs) can never be regarded favourably in a financial view by any parties who enquire into the average receipts re- sulting from Railway or Bridge traffic. The Directors have felt it necessary to make these observa- tions on the undertaking referred to, as an explanation why they still proceed with their own plans precisely as they would have done had such a scheme never been announced. They have the great satisfaction to state, that the Bristol and South Wales Junction Railway, together with the improvements at the New Passage Ferry, and the proposed Extension Line to Monmouth will be constructed under the superintendence of Mr. Brunei, and they are confident that through his skill and experience the inconveniences of a Ferry will be modified far beyond public expectations. When the Severn is reached by the Railway from Bristol, and crossed at the New Passage, the traveller will be in the direct route to Newport, Cardiff, and South W ales on the one side, and on the other to Chepstow and Monmouth, from which latter town various lines are about to be constructed to Hereford, Shrewsbury, North Wales, Chester, Liverpool, &c. The Bristol and South Wales Junction Railway was promoted to maintain the very ancient connexion between Bristol and the Principality, and the proposed extension of it to Monmouth will have a similar tendency in reference to the towns of Chep- stow and Monmouth and the districts in which they are situated. The Directors therefore believe that it will receive the strong support both of the Shareholders in the Bristol and South "Wales Junction Railway, as a protection of their interests, and of the inhabitants of South Wales and Mouinouthshire, as a certain and early means of securing Railway communication with Bristol, and the districts to be reached by the various Railways connected with that city. It has been considered more judicious to form a separate Company for the extension Line to Monmouth, than to alter the Bristol and South Wales Junction Railway Company at present, but powers are proposed to be taken for uniting the two Companies hereafter, with the assent of their respective proprietors. It is also intended to pay Interest on the calls at four per cent. The Shareholders in the Bristol and South Wales Junction Railway Company will be considered entitled to Shares in this Company, and therefore such of them as may be applicants are requested to state the number of Shares they already hold in the former.

A PRINCIPAL feature in this undertaking is the erection A at the Old, or Aust Passage, of a fixed bridge across the estuary of the Severn, adapted as well for railway traffic as for ordinary carriage and pedestrian intercourse. By the construc- tion of this bridge, and the intended line of railway in connexion with it, two great objects will be attained first, there will be established, by means of a junction at Hereford with the pro- posed lines north of that city, a direct, unbroken line of railway communication between Bristol and Liverpool, with a saving in distance of about forty-two miles over the present route; and, secondly, there will be opened a free communication between the southern and western portions of England, on the one hand and Monmouthshire and South Wales on the other. These important districts have hitherto been practically severed, and only rendered accessible to each other by a most inconvenient ferry, dependent on tides and weather. The want of a fixed bridge over the Severn, at the point above mentioned, has long been severely felt, and it would be impossible, whether in reference to national or local interests, to over estimate the advantages of a scheme designed to supply this want. It has not, however, been from a consideration of its impracticability that such a work has not long since been accomplished. In the year 1825, Mr. Telford, the late celebrated engineer, was eon- suited upon the subject, and gave a most decided opinion in favour of it, particularly adverting (amongst other causes afford- ing facility) to the great height of the banks at the Old Passage, to the fact of the bed of the river consisting wholly of solid rock, and to the circumstance that suitable materials for the work could be procured within a reasonable distance. The engineers of the present proposed work, as well as other engineers of eminence, are equally confident of the thorough practicability of the undertaking. Until recent times, and before the period had arrived when railway traffic and profits had reached their present astonishing extent, the expense of this bridge, compared with the probable tr&ffic-returns, naturally retarded its projection; but now, when works equally difficult tnd expensive, such as tunnels and via- ducts are readily constructed by railway companies for the mere traffic of their line, and sometimes only to avoid a comparatively trifling deviation, it will be at once admitted, that with a view merely to the formation of a direct line between Bristol and Liverpool, (without looking to collateral or ultra terminal ad- vantages) the magnitude of the undertaking is no longer to be regarded as an impediment to its completion. The recent decision of the Admiralty against the proposed bridge atHockCrio, several miles higher up the Estuary, leaves the Aust passage the only practicable point for a fixed bridge. Arrangements have been concluded with His Grace the Duke of Beaufort, and the other Proprietors of the Aust Ferry, whereby the purchase of that important interest has been se- cured to this Company. A glance at the published plan will at once shew the claims of this Railway to public approbation. The line will commence at Bristol, and proceed to the Aust Passage: there, crossing the proposed bridge to Beachley, it will run northward along the valleys of the Wye and Monnow, by Chepstow and Monmouth to Hereford, which city will form the other terminus of the line. At Hereford the direct chain of communication to Liverpool will be completed by the lines now projected between those places. It is obvious that this route will furnish to the west and south-west of England the best and most direct means of communication not only with Liverpool and the north of England, but with Dublin and the north of Ireland. To Bristol itself the value of the project cannot be over-esti- mated. It will secure to that ancient city the continuance of its long-enjoyed position as the emporium of commerce in the West. It is proposed to connect the line with the forest of Dean, by which means the vast mineral resources of that district will be developed to an extent hitherto unattained. Many other advantages will at once suggest themselves to those acquainted with the locality of the proposed railway; amongst others it may be mentioned, that the route will em- brace Tintern Abbey and the other celebrated scenery of the Wye, which, notwithstanding the difficulty and expense of reaching them by the present means of transit, annually attract a great number of visitors. The engineering capabilities of the line have been ascertained to be excellent. Investigations on the subject of the traffic have been made, which fully justify the conclusion that the undertaking will prove a profitable invest- ment of capital, as well as a great national and local conve- nience. The length of the line of railway will be about 48 miles, and and an examination of the following table will render manifest the advantages in point of distance, and oonsequent saving of charges for travelling, which this undertaking will secure to the public.
