Commencing at Lancaster, it will proceed up the Talley of the Lune, by Kirkky Lonsdale, Sedbergk, and Kirkby Stephen, aid thence ity the most practicable lire to New castle. It will run nearly parallel with the old coach road, whick has hitherto lion the principal passenger routs from Lancaster to Newcastle. It will readily be conceded that great benefits will flow from a direct railway communication between the coal-fields aid mining districts of Durham aid Nerthumberland, and the important towas and ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood, Newcastle, ail Lancaster. The entire length of the line is rich in mineral predictions—coal, slate, limestone, marble, and ether elements of' a great local traffic abound, and caniot fall to make this one of the most remunerative projects of the day. A considerable saving of distance between the important towas en the terabit is effected over any existing er pro jected scheme.

The first object of this line is to connect the town of Birmingham Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest mute and to supply , an important link of communication between the town of Spalding and the eastern coast, and the western and midland districts. Commencing at the Spalding static!' of the Norwich, Dereklux, Lynn, and Holbeack Railways, the lino will proceed by Boars, Witham, Castle Bythaii, South Wytham, and Wymondham, to a point on the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near Melton- Mowbray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mid land Counties Railway, az almost direct route to Leicester, aid thence to Coventry and Birmingham by the proposed Coventry, Idaneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway. The projected line will form the most direct efinnsuileation be tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, and will, by means of the proposed lines across 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 leany utiles than any other lino of railway- It will form, with other projected railways, an ahnost direct lino across the kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, on the east, to Aberystwith, via Novrton and Shrewsbury, on the west. The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. There is no tunnel ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary; the line from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve idles, is vary level, and may be constructed at a small cost. _ It will secure the advantages of railway communication tea trust of coaatry at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open ing 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 tran.it for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent uport supply from the north at high prices: it will also secure the advan tages of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leiceetershire works, to the agricultural districts if 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 stock and agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk. Several the midland counties, and converge at Spalding, which is the nearest proposed point o n l itnhees eastern railway w c a o y as t ror connected by the River 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 pas esngers between Birmingham, Co ventry, Leicester. Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Boston, the trans pmt of corn, cattle, and other produce of the great agricultural districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland districts, will be sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay, The Parliamentary surveys have been commenced, and are now inactive progress, and contracts have been entered into which en sure sufficient time for compliance with the standing orders.

This line has been projected for the purpose of forming the most direct communication between Birmingham and the Midland Coun ties, and the important and rising pert of Aberystwith and the sea coast of Wales. It is intended to commerce 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 Cleobnry Mortimer to Ludlow, where it will form a junction with the Worcester and Portdynllaen, and Bridgnorth, Ludlow, and Wolverhampton Railways. From Ludlow it will follow the line of the present mail road, along the Valley of the Tem. to Knighton, from which place it is intended t. throw ef a branch to the Craven Arms, to ran into the Shropshire Mineral Railway, which has , its terminus at that place. The line will proceed from Knighton to Llanidloes, where it will join 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 aro already upon the line, the plans, &c., will all be ready to go to Parliament in the ensuing session. The advantages of the present liae 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 nnprovided with railway accommoda tion ; that by it and the Birmingham, Stamford, and Boston lines, a regular chain of railway oommunication 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 while 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 ebviouts that a high rate of interest upon the capital embarked may be depended upon. The line throughout the whole distance meets with the most influ ential local support, so as to ensure its emnplete success. There are ne engineering difficulties of any magnitude, and me ornamental property will be invaded. Should the atmospheric pinci plo be fully tested and be found to answer, it will be adopted on this line. The responsibility of the shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions, and poweriwill betaken in the Act to allow in terest at 'four per cent. on the calls. The Committee reserve the usual power to amalgamate with any other existing Company or Companies, to thrift or vary the line, as to them shall seem most expedient, in order to carry out the objects of the Company.

In submitting this undertaking to the public, the promoters—a numerous and highly influential clue—have been influenced me less by the general facilities presented for its construction, by the fa vourable character of the country through which ft fs intended to pass, than by the conviction of its great local and general Invert. ance as a direct connectin,; line between North and South Wales, Shrewsbury, , Lichneld, Tamworth, Derby, and Leicester, and tiro Midland and Easter' Counties generally. To effect this desideratum, the formation of a new 1 ine of le or 20 miles only will be required ; communicating with the Trent Valley Railway at Lichfield, an d un iting with the Shrewsbury, Wolverhamp ton Dudley and Birmingham, or Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire Junction Railways, at Shiffnal. It is a remarkable fact that Shrewsbury, the outlet of North Wales, has been hitherto altogether disregarded in the range a ex isting railways, particularly towards the east, the nearest being at, the distance of 28 miles. The town of hrewsbury, now 95 miles from Le:Jesuits by road and railway, will, by means of this and the ether projected Ilia, be brought within G 5 miles. When the ordinary passenger traffic, and the vast trandit of cat. tie, 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 far the capital employed ; and that, as an investment, it masa rink exam. the most advantageous of modern undertakings, whilst it will im• part advantages of the highest importance. both to Xngland and the principality. The immense droves of Welsh and Shropshire Cattle will at once be conveyed into the important cattle markets of Deeby shire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk. and Suffolk, whilst, in return, the agricultural produce of Shope coun ties will be sent into the densely-populated localities of Birtain,eltam and Wolverhampton, and the Staffordshire, Shropshire, and Wei& ironworks. The several projected railways passing tram Worcestershire and Herefordshire in the direction of Chester and Liverpool, will he im portant tributaries to the revenue of this line, which will be kill ihrther augmented by its joining the Grand Junction, neer to the Spread Eagle Station, at a short distance from Wolverhampton. The facilities which will be aff..rded to visitors to Matlock * sad the rest of the picturesque scenery of Derbyshire. and of North Wales and Aberystwith, as well as to travellers via Holyhead to Ireland, will still further conduce to the generat utility of the project.
