The Commtttees of Direction of these undertakings have great
satisfaction In acquainting the Shareholders, that they have made
arrangements for the lease iu perpetuity of both railways, as soon
as they shall have received the sanction of Parliament to the
Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne, and Manchester Railway Company,
at an annual rent' of 5 per cent. on the cost of the lines, such rent
to became and remain 54 per cent, as soon as the net profits
realise that return ; and the farther profits to be (qµally divided
betweeq both Turtles, The Directors confidently anticipate the certainty of the success
of both projecti in Parliament, in consequence of the unusually
powerful_ local support which the undertakings have already ob-
tained, and the great amistance from other influential parties,
which the above arrangement with a company already incorporated
has secured, following out, as it does fully, the suggestions of the
Board of Trade in connexion with the legitimate extensions east-
ward of the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne, and Manchester Railway.

This line has been projected for the purpose of forming the mast
direct communication between Birmingham and the Midland Coun-
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 forth
junction with the Worcester and Forldynnoen, and Bridgnorth,
Ludlow, and Wolverhampton Railways. From Ludlow it will follow
the line of the present mail road, along the Valley of the Tema to
Knighton, from which place it is intended to throw off a branell 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 upon the line, the plans, &c., 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
moat 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 else 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 whole of the midland counties ; while, on the ether
hand, by the branch from the Craven Arnie, the coals of Shropshire
will be brought into Radnorshire, Montgomeryshire, and Cardigan-
shire, where that article does not exist, at little snore 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 througheut the whole distance meets with the most influ-
ential local support, so as to ensure its complete success.
There are no engineering difficulties of any magnitude, and no
ornamental property will be invaded. Should the atmospheric pinci-
pie 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 power will betaken in the Act to allow in-
terest at four per cent. on the- calls. The Committee reserve the
usual power to amalgamate wills any other existing Company or
Companies, to limit or vary the line, as to them shall seem most
expedient, in order to carry out the objects of the Company.
Prospectuses, with maps and forms of application for shares, may
be had from the Secretary, at the Office of the Company, 163, Fen-
church-street ; from the Solicitors .and Local Agents; and also from
the following Brokers, viz.:—Messrs. Franchi and lienesy, London
