The first object of this line is to connect the town of Birmingham
Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route
and to supply an important link of communication between the tows
of Spalding and the eastern coast, and the western and midland
districts.
Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Derekam,
Lynn, and Holbeacli Railways, the lice will proceed by Bourn,
Witham, Castle Bythara, 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 prepoaed Coventry,
Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway.
The projected line will form the most direct communication be-
tween the eastern and midland districts of 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 Lineala, Norfolk,
Shropshire, and• North Wales, nearer to sack 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 no tunnel-
ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary ; the line
fisam Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve miles, is very
level, and may be constructed at a small coat.
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 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 tbr the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lel-
e,estenihire 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 obtain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and
agricultural produce of Liee,oinshire 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 the River Welland with the German Ocean.
Birmingham, Co. The proposed capital will be sufficient for the construction of the
subsequentpusebgers expense
; and the income
between

port of corn, cattle, and other praduce of the great
fromwo rkstheantdraeffivc every
in
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
in active progress, and contracts have been entered into which en-
sure sufficient timer compliance with the standing orders.
Forms of applica n 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-

This line has been projected for the rpose of forming the most
direct communication between Birminefun and the Midland Comi-
ties, and the important and rising port 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 Portdyullaen, and. Bridgnorth,
Ludlow, and Wolverhampton Railways. From Ludlow it will follow
the line of the present mail road, along the Valley of the Teme to
Knighton, from which plaee it is intended to throw off a branch to
the Craven Arms, to rua into the Shropshire Mineral Railway, which
has its terminus at that place. The line will proceed from
Knighton to Llauldioes, 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 this
sought for, the part to bo made will not exceed sixty miles ; and as
surveyors are already upon the lino, the plans, ice., will all bo 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, aid 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 white of the midland counties ; while, oa the ether
band, 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 influ-
ential local support, so as to ensure its complete success.
There are n• engineering difficulties of any magnitude, and no
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
existing Company or
of their subscriptions, and poweriwill be taken in the Act to allow

SECRBTARY—E. Jones, Esq.
The port of Boston affords the readiest outlet for exports from the
manufacturing districts to the north of Europe, and the importance
of direct communication from the midland counties to a plass so ad-
vantesto9nsly situate cannot be over-estimated.

Lekester has, or shortly will have, direct communication with
Birmingham, and all the other important towns in the saidland
listrict.

The Midland Railway Company is extending the communication
t Melton Mowbray, by means of its branch from Syston to Peter-
borough, which passes through that place. There is also a complete
line of railway about to be established from Nottingham, through
Grantham and Felkingham, to Roston, as well as to Spalding, WM-
beach, Lynx Yarmouth, and other important towns is the eastern
counties.

The Leicester, Melton Mowbray, and Roston Direct Union Rail-
way, by forming a line from Melton Mowbray to Folkinghaiu, will
supply the only link wanting to complete a direct through communi-
cation from Birmingham, Warwick, Worces'er, Coventry, and the
manufacturing districts generally, to Boston, as well as by newts of
existing and projected railways from Wales and the Bristol Channel,
to that seaport.
The length if the proposed line will not exceed twenty-six miles ;
and as it will pass through a country very favourable for engineer-
ing purposes, the expense of construction will, it is expected, be less
than the usual average. The admirable position of this railway can-
not fail, it is confidently expected, to command a large return, both
in passengers and in goods traffic.
The Company will be in a &Rialto% to deposit the ParliamentarY
plans and sections in ample time for complying with the stanining
orders, and enabling them to apply for their Act in the ensuing
session. Messrs.
