Commencing at Lancaster, It will proceed up the valley of the Luna, by Kirkby Lonsdale, Sedbergk, and Kirkby Stephen, awl thence by the most practicable line to New castle. It will run nearly parallel with the eld coach road, which has hitherto been the principal passenger route from Lancaster to Newcastle. It will readily be conceded that great benefits will flow from a direct railway communication between the coal-fields and mining districts of Durham and %Torthumnerland, and the important towns and ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood, • ewcnstle, aii.l Lancaster. the entire length of the line is rich in mineral proiucticns—coal, slate, limestone, marble, and ether elements of a great local traffic abound, and cannot fail to make this one+ of the most remunerative projects of the day. A considerable saving of distance between the important towns on the termini is effected over any existing or pro jected scheme. It will be reserved to the Committee of Management to make suck alterations in the line, or the am sunt of capital required, or other wise, as may be deemed most advantageous to the interests , lthe Company. Power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate of four per cent. on the calls from the passing of the Act to the opening of the line, as well at to limit the liability of tke shareholders to the amount of their subscriptions only.

SECRETARY—WiIIiam Ranyard, Esq. _ _ The first object of tkis line is to connect the town of Birmingham Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by tke nearest route and to supply an important link of communication between the town of Spalding and the eastern coast, and the western aid midland districts. Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereham, Lynn, and Holbeach Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn. Witham, Castle Bytham, 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, an almost direct route to Leicester, and thence to Coventry and Birmingham by the proposed Coventry, Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway. The projected line will form the most direct communication be tween the eastern and midland districts if the kingdom, and will, by means of the proposed lines across the county of Leicester, via Bur 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 direct line across the kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, on the east, to Aberystwith, - via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the west. The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. There is notunnel ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary; the line 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 communication to a tract of country at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open ing out sources of trade undeveloped for want of tbe 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 trail , / for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon 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 olstain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and agricultural product of Lincolnshire and Norfolk. Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which is the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland acuities, and 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 passengers between Birmingham, Co ventry,up, Spalding, and Boston, the trans port of the great agricultural port of Leicester, rn, districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming corn, Derby,cattle, ando M t e h l e t i o 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 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, plan., and prospectuses may be had of the Solicitors ; also at the offices of the Company, 4, Tra falgar-square, Charing•cross, where applications tor shares, /mom. panted by respectable references, may be addressed to the Provi sional Committee.

This lino 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 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 junction with the Worcester and Portdyellaen, and Bridgnorth, Ludlow, and Vfolverhampton Railways. From Ludlow it will follow the line of the present mail road, along the Valley of the Teme to Knighton, from which place it is intended to throw ET 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 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 are already open the line, the plans, &e., 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 communication 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 Anna, 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 influ ential local support, so as to ensure its complete success. There are ne engineering difficulties of any magnitude, and net ornamental property will be invaded. Should the atmospheric pinci ple 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 Nwer.will be taken in the Act to allow in terest at four per cent. on the calls.

In submitting this undertaking to the pablir, the promoters--a numerous and highly influential class—have been influenced no less 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 g eneral import ance as a direct connecting line between North and South Wales. Shrewsbury, !Lichfield, Tamworth, Derby, and Leicester, and the. Midland and Eastern Counties generally. the e line Trent of l9 Vaolley To effect this desideratum, the formation of:inthe, w 90 miles only will be required; communicating Railway at Lichfield, and uniting 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 of ex isting railways, particularly towards the east, the nearest being at hnireirsbury, now 95 miles from Leicester by road the T h di e st t a o n wn ce o o f f 2 s B and railway, will, by means of this and the other projected lines, be brought within 65 miles. When the ordinary passenger traffic, and the vast transit ef cat tle, together with the coal, mineral, end 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 ca pital employed ; and that, as an investment, it must 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 be conveyed into the important cattle markels of Derby shire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk, whilst, in return, the agricultural produce of those coun 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 fttrther augmented by its joining the Grand Junction, near to the Spread Eagle Station. at a short distance from Wolverhampton. The facilities which will be afforded to visitors to Matlock, and the rest of the picturesque scenery of Derbyshire, and of North Wales and ♦berystwith, as well as to travellers via Holyhead to Ireland, will still further conduce to the generat utility of the project.
