This line has been projected for the purpose of forming the most
:t communication between Birmingham and the Midland Conn-
, and the iinpdrtant and rising pert of Aberystwith and the sea-
,ast of Wales.
` is intended to conimence at the junction of the Welch Midland
Stour Valley Railways (both of which have projected lines to
3rillingbanl). between Kidderminster .atul Bewdley, and proceed from
ience through Cleobury Mortimer to Ludlow, where it will form a
iunction with the Worcester and Portdyidlaen and Bridguorth,
allow, and Wolverhampton Railways. From Ludlow it will follow
line of the present mail road, along the Valley of the Teme to
gliton, from which place it is intended to throw off a branch to
Craven Arms, to run into the Shropshire Mineral Railway, which
•its, terminus -at that pl Lee. The line will proceed from
Ihton to Llanidloes, where it will join the projected Manchester
Aberystwith Railway, and proceed along that line for the re-
mainder of the distance. The use of all projected lines being tiros
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 Biiiningham and Aberystwith are :—That it is the
most direct rdtlte li:tWeen. the respective termini ; that it passes
through a district a' 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; that it will open the slate
mines of Cardigan Shire, and the limestone of Radnorshire to Shrop-
shire, and thd Whole a. the midland: counties ; while, on the ether
hand, by the branch from the Craven Arms, the coals of Shropshire
will be brought• into Radnorshire, Alontgomeryshire, and Cardigan-
shire, where that•article does not exist, at little store than one-third
of its present coSt, From these and. ether sources of traffic it must
be obvious that a high rate of Interest upon the capital embarked
may be depended upon.
The line throughout the whsle distance meets with the most influ-
'ential local support, so Rs 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 ou this

line.
The responsibility of the shareholdets will be limited to the amount
of their subscriptions, and p .werwill betaken 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
be had from the Secretary,' at the Mee of the Company, 163, Fen-
church-street ; from the Solicitors and Local Agents; and also from
