Th. first object of this line is to connect thotowii of Eirmhighatia Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route and to supply an important link if communication between the town of Spalding and the eastern °oast, and the western and midland districts. Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Derekani, Lynn, and iiolbeach Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn, Witham, Castle Bytkans, south Wytham, and Wymoodham, to a point on the Systole and Peterborough line of railway near Melton- Mowbray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mid land Comities Railway, an almost direct route to Leicester, and thence to Coventry and Birmingham by the proposed Coventry, Naneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway. The projected line will form the most direct communisation be tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, and will, by means of the proposed lines acres/ the county of Leicester, via Bar ton-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincoln, Norfolk, Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by many miles than any other line of railway. It will form, with other projected railways, an almost direst Use arose the kingdom, from Yarmosth, via Norwich, oa the east, t 1 Anerystwith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the west. The entire length will lot exceed thirty miles. There is no tunnel ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary; the lino from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve miles, is very level, and may be constructed at a small cost. It will secure the advantages of railway communleation to a tract if coastry at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open iag out sources of trade undeveloped for want of the means of transit. The central midland districts have felt greatly the want of direct communication with the coast; and this line will at once supply the deficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire. It will afford a transit for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent open supply from the north at high prices ; it will also secure the advan tages of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershire works, to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, which are at present only supplied at very high rates; and, in return traffic, the midland dis tricts will obtain the advantage of a direct transit for the stook and agrioeltural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk. Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, whisk is the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, and connected by theßiver Welland with the German Ocean. The proposed capital will be sufficient for the construction of the necessary works and every subsequent expense ; and the income derivable from the traffic in passengers between Birmingham,thetrans port o-s v po ei r i t try o , f Leicester, tceart.tlDe,erabnyd, Melton, np,r3Sdpuaeldeingo,f theand Roston, great agricultural districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland d:stricts, will be sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay. The Parliamentary surveys have beeu commenced, and are now in active progress, and contracts have been entered into which en sure sufficient time for compliance with the standing orders. Forms of application for shares, plans, and prospectuses may be had of the Solicitors ; also at the offices of the Company, 4, Tra falgar-square, Charing-cross, where applications for shares, accom panied by respectable references, may be addressed to the Provi.. sional Committee.

This line has been projected for the purpose of forming the most direct communication between Birmingham ant the Midland Coun ties, and the important and rising pert of Aberystwith and the sea coast of Weles. It is intended to commence at the junction of the Welch Midland and Stour Valley Railways (both of which have projected lines to Birmingham), between Kidderminster and Bewdley, and proceed from thence through Cleobury Mortimer to Ludlow, where it will form a janetioa with the Worcester and Portdyallaen, ant ltridgnorth, Ludlow, and Wolverhampton Railways. From Ludlow it will follow the line of the present mail read, along the Valley of the Terns 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 at that place. The line <will proceed from Knighton to Llanidloes, where it will joie the projected Manchester and Aberystwith Railway, and proceed along that line for the re mainder of the distance. The use of all projected lines being thus sought for, the part to be made will not exceed sixty miles ; and as surveyors are already upon the line, the plane, &c.,- will all be ready to go to Parliament in the ensuing session. The advantages 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 Birmingham. Stamford, and Boston lines, a regular chain of railway eommunication is opened between St. 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 wh•le of the midland counties ; while, on the ether hand, by the branch from the Craven Arms, the coals of Shropshire will be brought 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 traffic it must be obvious that a high rate of interest upon the capital embarked may be depended upon. The line throughout the whole distance meets with the most infla ential local support, so as to ensure its cemplete success. There are ne engineering difficulties of any magnitude, and no ornamental property will be invaded. Should the attnospherie pinci pie be fully tested and be found to answer, it will he adopted oa this line. The responsibility of the shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions, and powee,will be taken in the Act to allow in terest at four per cent. on the calls. The Committee reserve the usual power to amalgamate with any ether existing Company or Companies, to limit or vary the line, as to them shall seem most expedient, in order to carry out the objects of the Company. Prospectuses, with maps and forms of application for shares, may be had from► the Secretary, at the Office of the Company, 163, Fen churoh-street ; from the Solicitors and Local Agents; and also frem the following Brokers, viz. ;.—Meeers.

In submitting this undertaking to the pablic, the ptemetera — e numerous and highly influential class—have been influenced ne les, by the general facilities presented for its construction, by the fa vourable character of the country through which it is intended to pass, than by the conviction of its great local and general import ance as a direct connectlnr; line between North and South Wales, Shrewsbury, /Lichfield, Tamworth, Derby, and Leicester, and the Midland and Eastern Counties generally. To effect this desideratum, the formation of a new 1 ins of 11 or 20 miles only will be required ; communicating with the Trent Valley Railway at Lichfield, and uniting with the Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury,Wolverhamp ton Wolverhampton, and at Shrewsbury, the outlet of N or th solutt D hi susdatl remarkable ndasdrlißar Staffordshire r ml Junction mt that o a r w .ys,a tshiffnai. Wales, has been hitherto altogether disregarde thdine nearestthe range iewofingexat isting railways, particular l y towards the e ast , the distance of 28 miles. The town of Shrewsbury, now 95 miles from Leteester by toad and railway, will, by means of this and the other projeeted lime, be brought within 65 miles. When the ordinary passenger traffic, and the vast trait et cat tle, together with the coal, mineral, and agricultural districts to be traversed, are considered, it is obvious that the construction of this line will insure to the Company a most lucrative return for the capital employed ; and that, as an investment, it mad rank among the most advantageous of modern undertakings, whilst it will im part advantages of the highest importance, both to England and the principality. The immense droves of Welsh and Shropshire cattle will at once he conveyed into the important cattle markets of Derby shire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk.. and Suffolk, whilst, in return, the agricultural produce of those coon ties will be sent into the densely-populated localities of Birmingham and Wolverhampton, and the Staffordshire, Shropshire, and Welsh ironworks. The several projected railways passing from Worcestershire and Herefordshire in the direction of Chester and Liverpool, will be im portant tributaries to the revenue of this line, which will be still further augmented by its joining the Grand Junction, near to the Spread Eagle Station, at a short distance from Wolverhampton. The faculties which will be afforded to visitors to Matlock, and the rest of the picturesque scenery of Derbyshire, and of Werth Wales and Iberystwith, as well as to travellers via Holyhead to Ireland, will still further conduce to the generat utility of the project.
