PROSPECTUS.
This important line, the only one having for its ohjeet the direct
Communication between South Wales, Birmingham, the Midland
CDOLIO69. Liverpool, Manchester, and the North, will commence at
Heieforl, and passing to the Vale of the Severn via Bewdley, Bridg-
nor b, Broseley, iron Bridge, and Colebrooke Dale, take a direct
route through or near Wellington and Market Drayton. to Crewe, or
to Rnncorn, wh,:mce the existing lines will continue the traSic to
Liverpool, Manchester, and the North. At liewdley there will be a
Branch Line through Kidderminster to Birmingham and the Mid-
land Counties.

Refere•bee—io the map will show that three projected Railways
converge at Hereford, viz :—The South Wales line from the coast, at
"liew-,Aort, vie Monmouth ;I the Bristol lines from Bristol, over the
Boxern • and the Great Eastern and Western from Swansea, by way
el,' Merthyr and Abergavenny. This grand trunk will, therefore,
sonnet with the North and Central portions of the kingdom, by the
nearest practicable route, Bristol, the West of England, and the
whole of South Wales, containing n vast population and extensive
iron, copper, tin-plate, and coal works, numerous and important
Porte, including Milford Haven, and the Government Dock-yard,
and ceneentrate to itself the great Passenger anti Goods traffic now
conveyed by various circuitous routes to and fro.
'This line, too, will unite the Iron districts of South Wales with
• thaw of Staffordshire and Shropshire.
Apart from the ordinary incentives to travelling, the beautiful
scenery of South Wales and the various watering-places will add
considerably to the passenger traffic on this line.
more than usual revenue may be calculated upon in the goods
traffic, arising from the extensive connexion existing between South
Wales and the important-termini, conveying, as this communication
the various productions of iron, copper, coal, tin plates, &c. to
the nortli, and woollens, cottons, salt, h'erdware, pottery ware,
-cattle, and agricultural produce, required for the several counties,
districts, and towns, accommodated by this line, westward ; with the
advautage of delivery in a few hours, free from the risks and delays
*ea sea voyage, and at one-third the distance.
'ate conveyance of coals to the ci unties through which these lines
Ten will also be a means of conglderable and increasing revenue ;
whilst the supplies to the barren districts of the iron works of agri-
cultural produce will add to the profit, as well as unite by ties of
Mutual interest the agricultural and commercial community.
By means of this projection, portions of the kingdo.n not so pro-
vided by any ether scheme, will participate in the advantages of
railway communication; any. it will also form hereafter, with other
railways about to be colr.".nenced, the nearest route to London for a
very extensive porti.sn of the country.
Founded on lte principle of direct and comprehensive communica-
tion with di',iant parts of the kingdom, this line will be the most
complete 1n the entpire, and, carried as it can and will be, in almost a
strikiit line, meat thus secure itself for the future against the com-
petition of any Neal projection.
At the sane time every regard has been had to local accommode-
tion, and the closest scrutiny will convince those who know the
wants end requirements of the towns and districts embraced within
ifs sce;ie, that this has been most amply provided for.
tntil an Act of Parliament shall be obtained; the affairs of the
etwipaukv shall be under the management and control of the Coin-
patio, of Management, who are hereby empowered to enter into
scn etrraagetnents as shall best serve the interests of this Company
and the public, with existing or projected companies; and to raise
widitional capital, if required, to extend this line ; and also to nomi-
nate the first Directcirs of the Company.
Should the Commission now sitting not disturb the gauge of the
South Wales Railway Bill passed this session, it is intended to adopt
the wide gauge, to avoid the inconvenience of different gauges.
]'curer will he taken under the Act to limit the responsibility of
Shareholder!: to tho amount of their Subscription, and to allow four
per neut. interest on the calls.
The Lino presents no engineering difficulties ; and as the Land-
holders (bacili been canvassed) are favourable to the Line, a return,
equal to any Railway in the Kingdom, may be relied on from the
outive.

ENGLISH THEATRICALS ON THE CONTINENT.—We
understand that the English company at present Performing on the
Ginstinent, tinder the management of :hiss Davenport, has been most
successful. The Hamburgh papers speak in the most flattering

English performances open on the 23d at the Italian Theatre in
Amsterdam with Romeo and Juliet, 3fiss Davenport, of course, ap-
pearing as Janet. The English company at Amsterdam are to play
alisernate nights with the Italian company.
During the last two days near 200 ships have
arrived in Sunderland harbour, which is at present quite thronged,

gree suspended, has now resumed a vcry lively appearance.—Aretc-
