This railway is proposed to be made with a view to its forming a junction in the most important part of South Wales with three other projected lines, viz., the South Wales, the Welsh Midland, and the North and South Wales, whereby communication will be formed with North Wales and Ireland, London, Bristol, Gloucester, Worcester, Bir mingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and the whole of the northern manufacturing districts, and also with the cottats of Devon and Corn wall, and will accommodate the following towns in the vicinity of the line, Carmarthen, Llandilo, Liangaaock, Llandovery, Trecastle, Bre con, Hay, Creckhewel, Abergavenny, Merthyr Tydvil, Swansea, Neath, Lloughor, Llanelly, Kidwelly, Laugharne, St. Clears, Narbeth, llaverfordwest, Milford, Cardigan, Newcastle Einlyn, Pembroke, 11. M. Dockyard at Pater, and the fashionable watering-places of Aberystwith, Tenby, Lanstephan, and the ferry side. Commencing at Burryport, Pembrey, Carmarthenshire, a har bour of recent formation, but unequalled in point of situation, depth of water, and safe anchorage for ships by any other tidal harbour on the whole of the Welsh coast ; the line will be carried close to the village of Pembrey, in a westward direction about one mile anti a half, where it is intended to cross the South Wales Railway, from here, taking a course to the north, it will proceed through the Gwendraeth Vale, passing the villages of Poatyates, Ponthenry, Llangendeirne, Pontyberem, Porthyrhyd, Llanddarog to Llanarth ney, near to which place it is intended to intersect the line of the Welsh Midland at a point about six miles from Llandillo and nine from Carmarthen, and on from this point up the vale of Cothi, passing the villages of Llanegwad, Brechfa, Abergorlech, Edwins ford, and Llansawel to Lampeter, where it will form a junction with the North and South Wales Railway, and completing a dis tance, including branches, of about tiny-four miles. It is intended to connect the line with the coal, marble, and mine ral districts. The line presents no engineering difficulties, and the country through which it passes abounds with the materials neces sary for its construction. Should it become necessary, arrangements will be made for the con tinuation of the line from near Edwinsford to Rhayader, and to form a junction with other projected railways. This railway will proceed for the first 20 miles through a most im portant mineral district, abounding with bituminous anthracite and steam-coals, iron, fire-clay, limestone black marble, slate, flagstone, copper, and lead ores, and the remainder of the distance across an agricultural country, thus connecting these several districts with the sea and with each other. It is quite obvious that great benefit must also result to the land owners by the construction of this railway, in insuring the cheap de livery of coal and lime, both essential to the welfare of the farmer. Thousands of acres of convertible land are now lying barren for want of the means of procuring lime as manure at a moderate cost, which is scarcely to be obtained fttam the heavy charge for transit, in common carts, over bad roads. The traffic in coals, lime, slate, copper, and lead ore, timber, cattle, and every description of live stock and agricultural produce, which already exists to a large extent, must receive great impulse from the convenience and economy of this line of railway The great interchange of commodities between the manufacturing, the mining, and the agricultural districts, will ensure a large revenue, independently of passenger traffic, which must necessarily be of great extent, the line forming a connecting link between many main lines, communicating with every part of the United Kingdom. It is esti mated that even the present traffic of the Gwendraeth Vale alone in coal and lime is of itself sufficient to pay a fair per centage on the capital required for this railway, leaving out all the other sources of profit. The value of the land generally required for the line is within the average cost. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Company wild be under the control of the Committee of Manage ment, to whom po.ver is given to allot the shares, and to apply the funds of the Compiny in payment of the expenses incurred In its for mation and in the preparation of the plans and sections to be sub mitted to Parliament. Preference will •,e given in the allotment of shares to the landed proprietors and o.hers loc.ill) interested in the line. Power will be applied for in the Act—and in the meantime is hereby given to the Committee of Management —to raise an aci-di tional capital, to abandon any part of the line, to make branch lb aes, or enter Into arr mirements wills any other Company or Compa'aies , and also to nomi mate the first directors of the Company.

The country is level, requiring no tunnel, and very little cutting or embanking, and the line will consequently be of easy construction The cost will be comparatively light, and all residential annoyance or injury to property will be avoided.

The object of this important scheme is the establishment of a direct line if communication between Birmingham and Birkenhead by the nearest possible route, and at the smallest possible outlay. The great advantages of such a project arc, that with the least possible amount of injury to existing interests, the public will realise all the benefit of an entirely new, direct, and Independent line FROM LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM TO BIRKENHEAD, FROM LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM TO HOLYHEAD. And on the completion of the proposed Birkenhead and Liverpool Railway-bridge, the shortest and mnst direct route FROM LONDON TO LIVERPOOL. The line to be constructed by this Company will be about 45 miles in length. It is proposed to make use of the railway commu nication already existing between London and Birmingham, and Birmingham and Wolverhampton, and thence to throw out a con tinued line through Market Drayton to Chester, where a junction will be effected with the railway already existing between that city and 13iikenhead. By this means about 15 miles will be saved be tween Birmingham and Birkenhead, about 25 mi`es between Bir mingham and Liverpool, and many miles between Birmingham and Holyhead. The distance between London and these places will be shortened in like proportion. Not only is such a line greatly needed, but the scbente is fraught with consequences of the highest possible amount to the commercial interests of the country. midland, southern, The importance and growing prosperity of Birkenhead impera tively demand direct communication with the or the eircuitotts routes of every other line, whether ,so xis western, and eastern counties, from which it is virtually existing g cluded by pro jected.ill le enabled to com- CiREAT , NORTH OF E i RAILWAY.

This railway will pass from the city of Exeter, through the rich valley of the Exe, via Silverton and Bickleigh, direct to Tiverton, one of the chief towns of this important district, and formerly the principal market and manufacturing town of the west of England. It will administer largely to the prosperity of this rich and productive country, and will pass from Tiverton, by Ramp ton, Dulverton, and Dtinster, to the port of Minehead in the Bristol Channel, opposite Landaff, Swansea, and Crnliff, from whence the produce of the rich mines and quarries of Merthyr Tydvil, Ponty pool, and Newport, in Wales, can be transferred by the shortest route to the English markets. From Minehead it will pass by Porlock and Combe-Marten to the much-frequented watering-place of Ilfracombe, where it unites with the Barnstaple and. Ilfracombe Railway. At Minehead it will also join the Bridgewater and Mine head Railway, to which it will serve as an important feeder, connect ing the towns on the north coast of Devon directly with the great western trunk railroads passing from London to the LanA's End. It will also form a very short and direct junction of the Bristol and English Channels. A mole valuable and important line to the country which it will traverse could not be projected.

In Retford and Worksop—The Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Banking Company This railway project will join Manchester to Lincoln by nearly a straight line, and has been formed by an union with the Chesterfield Canal Company. One of its objects is the conversion of that canal into a railway (as far as it may be available), so as to give the most complete system of railway accommodation from Great Grimsby, Wainfleet, Horneastle, Louth, Lincoln, Gainsborough, Retford, and Worksop, to Sheffield, Rotherham, Chesterfield, Bakewell, Buxton, Stockport, Manchester, Liverpool, and Birkenhead; also the most direct communication from cast to west, with Macclesfield, Congleton, Crewe, Chester, Bangor, and Ireland ; as well as nearly direct access to the Staffordshire Potteries and iron districts of North Staffordshire; also to Shrewsbury and Nortitand South Wales. Southward, it will give a good communication to'Derby, Birmingham, Droitwlch, Chel tenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and Southampton. This line will commence at Lincoln, and go nearly direct to East Retford, Worksop, and Chesterfield, where it it will join the Mid land Railway, the Chesterfield and Sheffield Railway, and filso the proposed North Derbyshir e line which proceed direct to Maachester s , North and Liverpool, and Staffordshire. In length it will be about 56• miles. A section of the line rill commence at Gainsborough, and join the main line at East Retro& a branch will be made front Worksop to oin the Midland near Beig•hton, so as to give railway accommoda tion to Rotherham and the nortern districts. This branch will take the course of the Chesterfield Canal, which it is proposed to use in its construction. A glance at the map will at once show the importance of this national undertaking. In connexioll with other lines it will form the most direct and valuable trunk line from cast to west than has yet been offered for public support; it will join together nearly by a direct route the most important manufacturing towns of Lancashire and North Staffordshire, with the rich corn-growing districts of Lin coln and Nottinghamshire, and will give to the rising ports of Great Grimsby and -Wainfleet a most perfect access from nearly all the great manufacturing districts of the west. The project, comprehensive and integral in itself, interferes with no vested interests, and will form a considerable auxiliary mid feeder to the various lines with which it connects itself. It will offer a great advantage to the public from its union with the Chesterfield Canal, for that portion of the canal, not used for the railway, will give ex tensive local accommodation, by affording many more points of con tact with the consumer. It is thought unnecessary to present any detailed estimate of traffic, as it must be obvious from the above outline of the objects to be accomplished, and the rich , p o p ulous, and productive agricul tural and manufacturing districts to be traversed and connected, and the extent of inexhaustible coal-fields and lime and stone quarries in the immediate neighbourhood of the line, that the project presents a most advantageous investment for capital, and will afford an ample remuneration to the shareholders ; in proof of which reference may Ise made te the pri nted yearly accounts of the Chesterfield Canal Company, which for an average of 10 years, commencing in 1834, show a dividend of above 0/. per cent. per annum. Independently, however, of the local traffic, the through traffic between the porta on the east coast, and the various districts to the west, and the exports and imports which will be conveyed, cannot fail to be most productive, and to give the shareholders a good return for the outlay of their capital. To the inhabitants of the various towns and districts which this line traverses a complete system of railway accommodation will be given ; and the bare mention of the project has called forth a spon taneous offer of support from almost every direction. A general survey of the line has already been made, and instruc tions have been given for the necessary ground surveys, with a view of obtaining an Act in the ensuing session of Parliament, and such surveys are in so forward a state as to preclude the possibility of dis appointment. Power will he given in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum, irons the time of payment until the opening of the line, and no liability will be incurred by any subscriber beyond the amount of subscription. In the allotment of shares the Committee will give a preference to parties locally interested, and in all cases satisfactory reference will be required to a banker or to some person of known respectability. Applications for prospectuses and shares may be made to the soli citors and to the secretary. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.
