This line is intended as a connecting link between the Trent Valley and Wolverhampton, Chester, and Birkenhead Junction Rail ways. It will commence at Stafford, and terminate at Market Drayton, and is essentially requisite to perfeet the communication between London, Chester, and Holyhead. Though the line will not exceed thirteen miles in length, it will afford immense accommodation to an important district of Stafford shire and Shropshire, through which it will pass; and by means of the lines with which it is intended to communicate, it will effect the shortest possible route from London to Liverpool, from London to Birkenhead, and from London to Ireland. A saving of not less than thirty miles will thus be accomplished. It will thus become a most - important adjunct to the proposed Wolverhampton, Chester, and Birkenhead Junction Railway; but the prominent feature in the scheme is this—that by bringing Stafford into immediate conjunction with Market Drayton and Chester, all the advantages of the proposed Trent Valley Continua tion Line to Holyhead, will be realised without the enormous sacrifice of time and capital inseparable from the carrying out of such a project, which, however, is impracticable. It is obvious that such a scheme will be of the utmost general benefit, as it will materially shorten the distance between the capitals of England and Ireland, and tend to a still further development of the great industrial resources of the two countries. As an investment, its eligibility cannot be disputed, as the following lines of railway will be important tributaries to its revenue :—The London and Birming ham, Trent Valley, Great Western, Birmingham, Oxtbrd and Brighton, Birmingham ant Southampton, Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Dudley and Wolverhampton, Bir• mingham, Bristol, and Gloucester, and Grand Junction Railways. The lines in the vicinity of Liverpool will also become valuable tribu taries to it. Although this line is proposed by a Company distinct from that of the Wolverhampton, Cheiter, and Birkenhead Junction Railway, yet, if it should be found expedient and practicable, the two Companies may be amalgamated. At all events, the shareholders in the Wol verhampton, Chester, and Birkenhead Company, will have the pre ference in the allotment. It is intended to proceed to Parliament in the ensuing session, as the plans and surveys are In a very forward state. FORM Otir APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

This line has been projected for the surpose of forming the meat direct communication between Birmingham and the Midiaed Coun ties, and the important and rising port of Aberystwith and the sea coast of Wales. It is intended to commence at the junction of the Welch Midland and Stour Valley Railways (both of which have projected lines to Birtnitighatn). between Kidderminster and Bewdloy , and pr oceed from thence through CleobUry Mortimer to Ludlow, where it will form a junction with the Woreester and Portdynllaen, and Bridgnorth, Ludlow, and Wolverhamptot Railways. From Ludlow it will fellow the line of the present mail road, along the Talley of the Tome to Knighton, from which place it Is intended to throw off a branch to the Craven Arms, to run into the Shropshire Mineral Railway, which has its terminus et that place. The Hue will proceed from Knighton to Llanidloes, where it will join the projected Manchester and lbestwith Railway, and proceed along that line for the re mainder o ry f the distance. The use of all projected lines being thus sought for, the part to be made will not exceed sixty miles ; ani as surveyors are already upon the line, the plans, ke., will all be ready to go to Parliament in the ensuing session. The adtantages of the present line over any other projected rail way between Birmingham and Aberystwith are :—That it is the most direct route between the respective termini; that it passes through a district at present unprovided with railway accommoda tion ; that by it and the Birminghant, Stamford, aid Boston lines, a regular chain of railway communieatloll is opened between It. George's Channel and the German Ocean; and by the Great Eastern and Western line a communication is also opened with Yarmouth, Norwich, and King's Lynn ; that it will open the slate mines of Cardiganshire, and the limestone of Radnorshire to Shrop shire, and the while of the midland counties ; while, on the ether band, by the branch from the Craven Inns, the seals of Shropshire will be bronght into Radnorshire, Montgomeryshire, and Cardigan shire, where that article does not exist, at little more than one-third of its present cost. From these and other sources of trans it must be obvious Viet A high rate of interest upon the capital ea barked tiny be depended CU. The line throughout the whole distance meets with the most influ ential local support, so as to engin , its complete success. There are no engineering ii2lcsilifed of any magnitude, and so ornamental property will be ievadeci, 6110,11(1 the atmospheric pinci ple be fully tested and be found to answee; it will be adopted on this me responsibility of the skarehelders will be to the amount to allow in of their stniacriptions, and powerwill betaken in the Acs. . totes/ at four per cent. o n the calls.
