SECUETARY—WiIIiam ElllB, Esq,

The °Meet of this Railway is to connect South and North Wales,
the improving and important port and fashionable watering place of
.thery,twith. Shropshire and Cheshire, &c., with Manchester, Lan-
cashire, Yorkshire, Staffordshire, the Potteries, Derbyshire, and the
North of England.
Its course will be a continuation of the Manchester and Birming-
ham Railway from Crewe, through Nantwich, Whitchureh, Elles-
mere, Oswestry, Welshpool, Montgomery, Newtown, and Llanidlocs,
terminating at Cardigan Bay," and the -Port of Aberyatwith, with
a Branch nom Ellesmere to the coal-neld of Rtmabon. Preliminary
surveys have been ma .',c, and it presents no engineering difficulties,
and Is remarkably favourable for cheap construction.
This line is especially called for by the local wants of the districts,
is not a competing line with any existing or proposed Railway, and
will he the only direct route from Shrewsbury, Ludlow, Leominster,
Hereford, Aberystwith, Machynlleth, Rhyader, Lin diocs, Newtown,
Bishop-Castle, Montgomery, Welshpool, Llanfyllin, Dolgelly,
Rhuabon, Chirk, Overton, Oswestry, Ellesmere, Wem, Press,
Whitchurch, Audlem, and Nantwich, to the Staffordshire Potteries,
Warrington, Manchester, and the whole of Lancashire and York-
shire, thus accommodating a population of not less than 300,000
_ .

•
And, by means of this line and "the Trent Valley Continuation
Railway," it will give the only communication by Railway from
Market Drayton, Malpas, Wrexham, and Mold, with the above-
named districts and towns.

And, jointly with the " Trent Valley Continuation Railway," will
be the most direct line from Oswestry, Nem, Ellesmere, Llangollen,
Overton, ane Rhuabon, to Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and London.
It is a most important fact that Crewe, the Terminus of this line,
is the centre of five existing or proposed Railways, embracing the
immense locomotive establishments of those Railways, and the branch
from this line proceeds to the great iron-works and coal-field of
Rhuabou. Engineers and scientific men have fully established the
fact, that the coal of this district is the finest in Europe for the ma-
nufacture of coke, and by this Railway it will be brought directly to
the before-named locomotive establishments, and also he the means
of supplying the Interior of Wales with coal, much better, and at a
lower price than at present.

It will greatly benefit the extensive agricultural population of
South and North Wales, the Vale of Clwyd, Shropshire, and Cheshire,
which will obtain a cheap 'and quick transit for their agricultural
produce to the Crewe establishments, and the manufacturing dis-
tricts of the Potteries and Manchester, including the whole of Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire, and also to Birmingham and London.
The importance to the several counties through which this Railway
will pass, of access to the safe harbour of Aberystwitb, cannot be
overrated. A great intercourse and interchange of commodities
must take place between the agricultural districts, the coal and iron
mines of Wrexham and Rhuabon, and the flannel manufactories of
Welshpool, Newtown, &c., with Manchester.
The existing traffic is very considerable, and a glance at the ac-
companying map will show at once the great resources of this line ;
and, it is manifest, that it certainly must become one of the most
valuable and productive lines in the kingdom.
Power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate of 41. per
cent. on all deposits and calls paid up, after the passing of the Act.
Applications for Prospectuses, Plans, and Shares, may be made to
the Secretary, at the Office, 78, King William-street, City, London,

hill ; Messrs. Barclay and Mercier, Shorter's-court, Throgrnorton-

n o objectionlk nFowEexeis'ts. Yes ;
Royal Candles, and their positive superiority is established!
Numerous Imitators have already arisen ; and certainly these Imita-
tions have some resemblance to ordinary Composite Candles. But
composite and rubbish have had their day, and Royal Candles hence
will lead the way. A pun?, white flame ! They snuff themselves, arc
as hard as alabaster, purer than wax, glossy as glass, and cheap as
common tallow candles, is their true character. " Their equal is un
known—their superior will neverco-%e." AU Imitation candles kept
on show, that the Public may see their inferiority to Royal Candles.
