The object of this Railway is to connect South and North Wales,
the improving and important port and fashionable watering place of
Aberystwith, Shropshire and Cheshire, &c., with Manchester, Lan-
cashire, Yorkshire, Staffordshire, the Potteries, Derbyshire, and the
North of England.
Its course will be a continuation ofthe Manchester and Birming-
ham Railway from Crewe, through Nantwich, Whitchurch, Elles-
mere, Oswestry, Welshpool, Montgomery, Newtown, and Llanidloes,
terminating at " Cardigan Bay," and the Port of Aberystwith, with
a Branch from Ellesmere to the coal-fleld of Rnuabon. Preliminary
surveys have been made, and it presents no engineering difficulties,
and is remarkably favourable for cheap construction.
This line is especially called for by the local wants of the districts,
is not a competing line with any existing or proposed Railway, and
will be the only direct route from Shrewsbury, Ludlow, Leominster,
Hereford, Abcrystwith, Machynfleth, Rhyader, Likn'dloes, Newtown,
Bishop-Castle, Montgomery, Welshpool, Llanfyllin, Dolgelly, Llan-
gollen, Rhuabon, Chirk, Overton, Oswestry, Ellesmere, Wem, Frees,
Whitchurch. Audlem, and Nantwich, to the Staffordshire Potteries,
Warrington, Manchester, and the whole of Lancashire and York-
shire,
thus accommodating a population of not less than 300,000 indi-
viduals.
_ .

And, by means of this line and "the Trent Valley Continuation
Railway," it will give the only communication by Railway from
Market Drayton, Malpas, Wrexham, and Mold, with the above-
named districts and towns.

And, jointly with the " Trent Valley Continuation Railway," will
be the most direct line from Oswestry, Went, Ellesmere, Llangollen,
Overton, and Rhuabon, to Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and London.
It is a most important fact that Crewe, the Terminus of this line,
is the centre of five existing or proposed Railways, embracing the
immense locomotive establishments of those Railways, and the branch
from this line proceeds to the great iron-works and coal-field of
Rhuabon. Engineers and scientific men have fully established the
fact, that the coal of this district is the finest in Europe for the ma-
nufficture of coke, and by this Railway it will be brought directly to
the before-named locomotive establishments, and also be the means
of supplying the interior of Wales with coal, much better, and at a
lower price than at present.
It will greatly benefit the extensive agricultural population of
South and North Wales, the Vale of Clwyd, Shropshire, and Cheshire,
which will obtain a cheap and quick transit for their agricultural
produce to the Crewe establishments, and the manufacturing dis-
tricts of the Potteries and Manchester, including the whole of Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire, and also to Birmingham and London.
The importance to the several counties through which this Railway
will pass, of access to the safe harbour of Aberystwith, cannot be
overrated. A great intercourse and interchange of commodities
must take place between the agricultural districts, the coal and iron
mines of Wrexham and Rhuabon, and the flannel manufactories of
Welshpool, Newtown, &c., with Manchester.
The existing frank is very considerable, and a glance at the ac-
companying map will show at once the great resources of this line ;
and, it Is manifest, that it certainly must become one of the most
valuable and productive lines in the kingdom.
Power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate of 41. per
cent. on all deposits and calls paid up, after the passing of the Act.
Applications for Prospectuses, Plans, and Shares, may be made to
