This line has been projected for the purpose of forming the most
direct communication between Birmingham and the Midland Coun-
ties, and Me 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 aid Portdyallaen, and Sridgnorth,
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 place it is intended to throw off a branch to
the Craven Arms, to run into the Shropshire Mineral Railway, which
has its terminus at that place. The lie will proceed item
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 tins
sought for, the part to be made will net exceed sixty miles ; and as
surveyors are already upon the line, the plans, Sec., will all be ready
to go to Parliament in the ensuing session. _ _

The advantages of the present Bee 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 ; Shot 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
Tannouth, Norwich, and Ring'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 Arins,.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 mien.
The line throughout the whole distance meets with the most lade-
ential local support, so as to ensure its complete success.
There are ne engineering difficulties of any magultade, and io
ornamental property will be !evaded. Should the atmospheric pinci-
pie be folly tested and be found to answer, it will be adopted on this
line.
The responsibility of the shareholders will.be limited to the *meant
of their subscriptions, and pwerwill be taken in the Act to allow In-
terest at four per cent. on the calls. The Committee reserve the
usual power to amalgamate with any ether existing Company or
Companies, to limit or vary the line, as to them shall seem mist
expedient, in order to carry out the objects of the Company.
Prospectuses, with maps and ibrms of application for shares, may
be had from the 'Secretary, at the Office of the Company, 163, Fen.
churls-street; from the Solicitors and Local Amt., and also from
