This line has been projected for the minion of forming the most
direct communication between Birmingham and the Midland Coun-
ties, and the important and rising port of Aberystvrith 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 Rridgnorth,
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 branch 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 fir the re-
mainder of the distance. The use of all projected lines being this
sought for, the part to be made will not exceed sixty miles ; and as
surveyors are already upon the lino, the plans, Sze., 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
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, and Boston lines, a
regular chain of railway communication is opened between St.
George's Channel and the Gorman 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
.....,sonshire, and the limestone of Radnorshire to Shrop-
shire, and the what.. or rho midland counties ; while, on the ether
band, by the branch from the Craven arms, tut. cosh or 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 trafllcH 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 no engineering difficulties of any magnitude, and no
ornamental property will bo invaded. Should the atmospheric pincl-
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
of their subscriptions, and pawd,will 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 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

SECRETARY—B. F. Scott, ESQ.
The Committee of Management of the Leicester and Belford Rail-
way Company have much pleasure in announcing to the shareholders
that they have made arrangements with the London and York Rail-
way Company, by which they will be enabled to carry their traffic
along the London and York Railway, from Hitchin into London, on
the same scale of charge as upon their own line, and will also receive
ample station room and accommodation at the London and York
Railway terminus at King's-cross, and have also made other arrange•
ments which cannot fail to be highly satisfactory to the shareholders.
The Committee of Management have also to state that arrange-
ments haute been entered into with lines proceeding northward from
Leicester, by which the Leicester and Bedford Railway will form
part of as direct a communication as can be obtained between
London and Manchester.
The Committee have also to announce that the deposit on the
capital of the Company is paid up, and duly invested at interest;
that the surveys of the whole line are completed, and that the en-
engraved plans and books of reference will be ready in ample time
for deposit with the clerks of the peace.
They have also the further gratification of stating that they con-
tinue to receive from all the influential landowners on the line ex-
pressions of their approbation, and assurances of their cordial support.
By order of the Board,
B. F. SCOTT, Secretary.
