This railway will connect the east and wan coasts, and fbrra a
direct route from the ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood-oa-Wyre, and
Lancaster, to Neweastle-upon-'Pyre. Commencinx at Lancaster, it
will proceed up the valley of the Lune, by Kirkby Lonsdale, Sedbergk,
and Kirkby Stephen, and thence by the most practicable lire to New-
castle. It will run nearly parallel with the *ld coach road, wkick
has hitherto been the principal passenger roots from Lancaster t•
Irerreastle.

It will readily be conceded that great benefits will flow fl'oni
direct railway communication between the cosi-fields and mining
districts of Durham and Northumberland, and the important towns
and ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood, Newcastle, and Lancaster.
The entire length of the line is rich in mineral productions—clal
slate, limestone, marble, and other elements of a great local traffic
abound, and cannot fail to make this one of the most remunerative
projects ef the day. A considerable saving ef distance between the
important towns en the terniiii is effected ever any existing et* pre-
jected scheme.
It will be reserved te the Committee of Management te make such
alterations in the line, or the amount of capital required, or other-
wise, as may be deemed most advantageous t• the interests t late
Company. Power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate
if four per cent. on the calls from the passing of the Act te the
opening of the line, as well as to limit the liability of tke sharehelders
to the amount ef their subscriptions only.
Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be had ef the
Solicitors, and of the following brokers:—

The first object of tie line is to connect the Win if lirntingharit
Coventry, and Leicester, With the eastern coast by the nearest route
And to supply an important link of between the town
of Spalding and the eastern roast, and the western and midland
districts.
Commencing at the Spaniel( stele?! of the Ifirerith;
Lynn, and Ifelbetch Psidleraye, the line will proceed by Boum
WitilaM, Vest's tythans, South Wytham, and Wyraendharn, to a
peint on the System 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; sad
thence I. Coventry and tirmiighant by. the prepfeed
Nuneaton, Leicester, and Airilingfiern litellway;
The erojeeted line Will feta the most direct communication be-
tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, aid will, by
means of the proposed lines across the county of Leieester, via kat,
toe-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the merkete Litii•ll,
iihrepshire, and North Waite, hearer to each other by many ales
than any other hue of railway.
It will terra, with ether projected railways, an alusest direct line
across the kingdom, from Yarineeth, via Nernish; on the east, to
Aberystwith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, en the west.
The entire length will not eitced thirty miles. There le ieeten„et.
ling, cutting, or embanking of any illiportance necessary; the line
from Bourn to Spaldlne, a distance of about twelve miles, he very
level, and may be constructed at a small east,
It will secure the advantages of railway eseetheht.eu„ t. a tract
of eonatry at present destitute of title accommodation, beeides open-
ing out sources of trade undeveloped for want of tee Meer* of transit.
The central midland districts have felt greatly the want of direct
communication with the ceett t and this line will at once supply the
deficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire arid Leicestefshire.
It will afford a transit for the. Stafferdshire; DerNyShite, and Lei-
cestershire coal into dietriete heretofore entirely dependent open
supply from the north at high prices: it will also secure tie Adeline
tagcs of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicesterehift storks)
to the agricultural districts of Lineeln, Yehlth Are at present only
supplied at very high rata i end, in return traffic, the midland dis-
tricts wilt obtain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and
agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk,
Several proposed lines of railway eon'ecfge at Spalding, which is
the nearest point on the eastern collet for the midland eminties) and
connected by the River Welland with the (lemma Oeeen.
The proposed capital Will be sufficient roe the construction of the
necessary works and every, subsequent expenee • and the income
derivable front the traffic in passengers bettrcen'Alrihieghttt, tb-
ventry, Leicester, Derby, Melton, ROALII..
and Boston, the trans-
port 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 commoditien for the inland
districts, will be sufllcieetly ample to warrant the Outlay:

" Gentlemen,—l have the satisfaction of reporting that the survey
of the line is in a state of forwardness, assuring me of oar being
completely prepared to comply with the standing orders.
"The works on the line are light, and quite capable of execu-
tion with the Company's capital, the gradients are very good,
and make it manifest that the traffic will be conducted upon profit-
able terms. "I am, Gentlemen,

The Committee have also to state that the letters of allotment
have been issued; and they trust that the limited extent of the capi-
tal to be raised, compared with the amount of shares applied for,
will be an apology for the small number appropriated to each
applicant.

TWO ling has been projected for the purpose of forming the mist
direct communication isetWeen Dirmingham and the 11thilaid Ceun-
ties, and tiro important and rising pert al Abefystwith ant the sea-
coast of Wales.

It is intended ti commence at the junction of the Welch Midland
and Stour Valley Railways (both of which have projected lines I.
Ilirrilirigham), libterten Kidderminster and Bewdley, and proceed from
thence through Cleebury Mortimer tel LtidloW, where it will form a
junction with the Worcester and Portdpallaen, and Rridgnortla,
Ludlow, and Wolverhampton Railways. From Ludlow it will fellow
the line of the present mail read, along the Valley of the Teme to
Knighton, Item Which place it is intended to throw of a branch to
the Ciareen Arnie; th rue into the Shropshire Mineral Railway, which
has its termittim at that place. The line ;will proceed item
Knighton to Llanidloes, where it Will idle the projected Manchester
and Aberystwith Railway, and proceed along that line for the re-
mainder if the distance. The use of all projected lines being this
taught for, the part to be made will not exceed sixty miles ; and as
surveyors ale already upon the line, the plans, &c., will all be ready
to ge to Parliament in the ensuing:seitaloll,
The advantages of the present Has over any other prcleeted rail-
way between Birmingham and Aberystwith are :—That it Is the
most direct route between the respective termini; that it passes
thratigli diitlict at present unproyided with railway accommoda-
tion ; that by it and the Ilirmingharti, 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, Itotavich, and King's Lynn ; that it will open the slate
millet of Cleadiaaneitire; 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 seals of ShroPehire
will be brought into Vadeorshire, 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 trade it must
be obvious that a high rats of Interest upon the capital embarked
may be depended upon.
The line throughout the whole distanet sleets with the most infitt-
entiel local support, so as to ensure its complete Meas.
There are tie engineering difficulties of any magnitude, and le
ornamental property will be invaded. Should the atmospheric pinei-
pie bo fatly tested and be found to answer, it will be adopted on this
line.
The responsibility of the shareholders will be limited to the amennt
of their subscriptions, and poweroyill betaken in the Act to anew in-
terest at Mr per cent. on the calls. The Committee reserve the
usual power to amalgamate With any other existing Company or
Companies/ to liatit Or Tidy the line, as to them shall seem mist
expedient, in Order to carry out the objects of the Company.
