The first object of this line is to connect the town of Birmingham
Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest mute
and to supply, an important link of communication between the town
of Spalding and the eastern coast, and the western and midland
districts.

Commencing at the Spalding static!' of the Norwich, Dereklux,
Lynn, and Holbeack Railways, the lino will proceed by Boars,
Witham, Castle Bythaii, South Wytham, and Wymondham, to a
point on the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near Melton-
Mowbray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mid-
land Counties Railway, az almost direct route to Leicester, aid
thence to Coventry and Birmingham by the proposed Coventry,
Idaneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway.
The projected line will form the most direct efinnsuileation be-
tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, and will, by
means of the proposed lines across the county of Leicester, via Bar-
ton-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincoln, Norfolk,
Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by leany utiles
than any other lino of railway-
It will form, with other projected railways, an ahnost direct lino
across the kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, on the east, to
Aberystwith, via Novrton and Shrewsbury, on the west.
The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. There is no tunnel-
ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary; the line
from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve idles, is vary
level, and may be constructed at a small cost.

_
It will secure the advantages of railway communication tea trust
of coaatry at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open-
ing out sources of trade undeveloped for want of the means of transit.
The central midland districts have felt greatly the want of direct
communication with the coast; and this line will at once supply the
deficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire.
It will afford a tran.it for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei-
cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent uport
supply from the north at high prices: it will also secure the advan-
tages of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leiceetershire works,
to the agricultural districts if Lincoln, which are at present only
supplied at very high rates ; and, in return traffic, the midland dis-
tricts will obtain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and
agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk.

The proposed capital will be sufficient for the construction of the
necessary works and every subsequent expense ; and the income
derivable from the traffic in pas esngers between Birmingham, Co-
ventry, Leicester. Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Boston, the trans-
pmt of corn, cattle, and other produce of the great agricultural
districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming
districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland
districts, will be sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay,

This line has been projected for the purpose of forming the most
direct communication between Birmingham and the Midland Coun-
ties, and the important and rising pert of Aberystwith and the sea-
coast of Wales.
It is intended to commerce 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 Cleobnry Mortimer to Ludlow, where it will form a
junction with the Worcester and Portdynllaen, and Bridgnorth,
Ludlow, and Wolverhampton Railways. From Ludlow it will follow
the line of the present mail road, along the Valley of the Tem. to
Knighton, from which place it is intended t. throw ef a branch to
the Craven Arms, to ran 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 aro already upon the line, the plans, &c., will all be ready
to go to Parliament in the ensuing session.
The advantages of the present liae 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 nnprovided with railway accommoda-
tion ; that by it and the Birmingham, Stamford, and Boston lines, a
regular chain of railway oommunication is opened between St.
George's Channel and the German 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
mines of Cardiganshire, and the limestone of Radnorshire to Shrop-
shire, and the while of the midland counties ; while, on the ether
hand, by the branch from the Craven Arms, the coals of 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 traffic it must
be ebviouts 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 emnplete success.
There are ne engineering difficulties of any magnitude, and me
ornamental property will be invaded. Should the atmospheric pinci-
plo 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 poweriwill 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 thrift 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. Franchl and Henesy, London ;
