• This undertaking will, in connection with existing and projected
lines of railway, bring into immediate communication with Birming-
ham, and the whole midland and Northern Districts of England, the
great mineral fields of Monmouthshire, as well as those adjoining Car-
diff and Merthyr Tydvil ; at the same timo it will furnish to the im-
portant agricultural counties of Hereford, Worcester, Brecon, and
71t oninouth, a ready channel for the transmission of their produce to
the dense population inhabiting the mineral districts of South Wales.
The object of this company will be very materially aided, first, by
the existing line from Cardiff to Merthyr: and, secondly, by the
lines Intended to be formed by the Welsh Midland Railway Company.

Scuacrroas—Meesrs. Mallaby, Townsend, and STOwall, Liverpool
Thomas Harrison, Esq.,- Kendal; and Francis Mewburn, Esq.
Darlington.

The proposed line Is intended to commence at a point on the Great
North of England Railway, near Northallerton, taking part of the

branch line to Richmond, now before Parliament, and &verging from
it a short distance cast of its terminus, thence following the south
side of the Tees Valley, up the Greta, over the line of the ancient
Roman way to Brough, forward within a short distance of Kirkby
Stephen, through the rich valley of the Eden, by way of Appleby,
and to join the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway near to Clifton, south
of Penrlth. Diverting from this line, southward of Stainntore, a
branch will proceed through Ravenstonedale to join the Lancaster
and Carlisle Railway between Orton and Borrow Bridge. The direc-
. . .

The line will commence at Newport, and will thence proceed
northward by Pontypool and Abergavenny to Hereford, where (in
that direction) it will terminate. From Abergavenny a branch will
extend eastward to Monmouth, and another westward to Brecon.
From Brecon am extension will be made to Merthyr, to join the
Taaff Yale Railway, ending at Cardiff. Thus will he established, in
addition to a free intercourse with more distant localities, a complete
chain of railway communication amongst the important towns and
districts just enumerated, and which are now wholly unprovided in
that respect. The portion of the line extending westward from
Monmouth will also promote the most direct passenger route that
can be adopted' from Monmouth to Carmarthen, aid the South of
Ireland.

tion of the proposed line is north-west, following the mall-coach
route from York to Carlisle, and involving the least sacrifice of
distance in connecting together the two great trunk lines of rail-
way, the eastern and western sides of the island.

The distance from Northallerton to Penrith will be sixty-one miles;
of this fifty-five miles will be new railway, which, with the brand:
to:Orton, seventeen additional miles, will form a total distance of
seventy-two miles.

In addition to the main line and extensions above indicated, the
Directors propose to place themselves in immediate communication
with the proprietors of the most important works in the several dis-
tricts traversed, in order to fix the situation and the course of the
minor branches, which will be necessary to complete the comprehen-
sive scheme of communication intended ; tmd to this object regard
has been had in fixing the capital of the Company.
The investigations which have been made en the subject of the
traffic fully justify the conclusion that the undertaking is eminently
ealculated for the advantage and convenience of the public, and that
it will prove a most profitable investment of capital.
In conclusion, it may suffice to observe that it is well known that
the scheme of a comprehensive system of inland communication in
the districts in question has already engaged the serious attention of
the tribunal appointed by the Legislature for the initiatory examina-
tion of railway projects; and the Board of Trade has, in its report
on the .Tring and Oxford schemes, fully recognised the great im-
portance and necessity of the chain of communication of which the
present undertaking will form a material link in the following mitn-
n er :—" The accommodation of Herefordshire, Worcestershite, South
Wales and the important districts lying to the west of the present
tines of railway will evidently, at no distant period, require not only
a wide gauge railway along the southern coast, to place them in com-
munication with London, but also a narrow guage railway, to place
them in direct and unbroken communication, through Birmingham,
with the manufacturing districts and the great railway system of the
rest of the kingdom."

The capital will he 1,500,0001., in 30,000 shares of fifty pounds
each. One-third-500,0001.—0f which is placed at the disposal of the
Lancaster and Carlisle Board, to be appropriated amongst the parties
interested in that Company. The revenue will be derived from pas-
sengers travelling from all the eastern districts of the island south of
Darlington to Scotland, and from the counties of Durham and Nor-
thumberland to Lancashire, and the west of England, and Ireland:
In addition to the proceeds from passengers and goods, a very large

income will accrue from the extensive mineral resources of the
country.. A better access will be made to the Lead Mines of Mid•
dleton-in-Teesdale, and to those in Westmorland. The line will
run near a large district of iron-stone, and become the channel for
the coal of Durham to pass Into East Cumberland, Westmorland,
the north-west of Yorkshire, and Lancashire north of the Wyre. It
will form a junction between the Baltic ports of the Wear and the
Tees and the western ports of Lancaster, Fleetwood, and Liverpool.
To increase the traffic to these large importing harbours, new docks
are now making at Hartlepool, and the Tees river has been declared
a "free port" to all vessels.
There are no canals in the district, and no direct competing rail-
ways. • The local traffic is now conveyed by carts, while the through
traffic Ls conveyed from Manchester to Newcastle by York on the
one hand, or by Carlisle on the other. Stainmore is the route for the
agricultural produce of Cumberland passing into the colliery and
mining districts of Durham.
The general traffic has been estimated to yield an adequate return
for the proposed capital.
For the purpose of securing the coal trade a Branch will be made
from West Auckland to the line between Greta Bridge and Bowes.
This Branch will connect Barnard Castle with the Coal District as
well as give to that town a road to the south-west and to the aorth.
At West Auckland the Durham coal-field is already open in every
direction by railways already formed.
The usual clause will be inserted in the Act, for limiting the liability
of Shareholders to the amount of their respective Shares.
Application for Shares to be made, on or before Thursday, the
let of May, to Jahn Whitwell, Esq., Honorary Secretary, Kendal, or
to the Solicitors, as above.
FORM OF APPLICATION.

sions have been ascertained to be excellent, and the capital proposed
will be ample for the construction of the 125 miles of railway intended
to be formed.
