SECRETARY PRO. ffEm.—Edward Robert Kelly, Esq. M.A.
This ralovay will connect Manchester with Milford Haven, by the
shortest practical route, and reduce the distance between those ter-
mini to 180 miles. The line commences at Crewe, and passes throngt
or mar to the towns of Nantwich, Whitehurch, Ellesmere, Oswestry,
Welehpool, -Montgomery, Newtown, Llanidloes, Tregaron, Lampeter,
Newcastle Emlyn, Newport, Haverfordwest, and Milford. Short
bran lies will be made to Aberystwith and Cardigan.
Milford Haven is the most capacious and secure harbour in the
Eritish Islands. By taking the tide it may be entered without a
pilot either by day or night; even with contrary winds. Its situa-
tion at the southern extrhtillty of 'Pembrokeshire renders it, for ves-
sel; homeward-bound, from the continent of America, the coast of
Aft Ica, the East Indies, China, and the Mediterranean, the easiest
port to gain ; and the outward-bound ship may sail from thence with
the wind in any quarter, and immediately find herself in the
Atruitie, free from the dangers and expense of a long Channel voyage,
The propose:l railway will connect the Lancashire and Yorkshire
manufacturers with Milford Haven, and afford the like advantage
to the North of England and Scotland.
,The expenses on the carriage of exported and imported goods,
which the
proposed railway will greatly lessen, or altogether save,

ETC—
First—The wages and victualling of the ship's crew during the
voyage through St. George's Channel and the Irish Sea, which
vales- froin two -days to three weeks, averaging a third of the whole
voyage from the United States.
Sccondly—lnsurance of the ship and cargo during that time.
Thir n tly--The charnel light dues, pilotage, steam tug, and the river
dues, dock dues, and towudnes of Liverpool.
Lasth,—The expensive warehonseing, and eight or nine shillings
per ton carriage by the Liverpool and Manchester Railway.

Manchester (BO miles) will be iCe, at Id. per mile, and IL 2s. 6d. at
the rate of 1 d. per mile.
.cal traffic. The summer passenger traffic to Aberystwith, which
is the most thehionable watering-place of the western coast, and to
other parts of Cardigan Bay, is estimated to exceed that upon the
Seari)orough Railway, lately constructed. •
'chit line will be the means of transmitting supplies of all kinds
from the manufarenring districts to the great bulk of the Welsh po-•
pniation—and returning agricultural produce and live stock,- as :well
us the flannel manufacturss of Newtown and Welshpool—and will af-
ford access to a variety of stone, slate, lime, coal, lead,,emd other mi-
nerals, refetred to he carried to various places, for the purposes of
building, of agriculture, and of manufacture.
direct connexion with the salt works of Cheshire, through which
the railway route to Manchester will pass, is equally advantageous to
the Company and to the shipping Interests of Milford Haven ; and the
certainty of a direct communication being shortly opened between
this line and the Staffordshire Potteries., by one or other of the pro-
jectel railways in that direction, adds another important- item of
traffic in crates. • •
The ostensive flannel manufactories of Newtown (known as the
Leeds of Wales), of Welchpool, and Llanidifies, and the valleys of the
Severn awl the Tell], wm be connected with the Yorkshire and Lan-
cashire markets ; a:* the founderies, potteries, tanneries, and malt
anti Ilme.kiins of this industrious and thriving population will form a
considerable .source-Of -local traffic.
Th-,i Committee reserve-power to alter the northern terminus, by
extending the line to Altrincham, if requisite, and to make such
arrang.eamnts with railway companies, either for adopting other lines
for a portion of the route, or for reciprocal working and mileage rates
of carriage, as they may think proper and consistent with the great
object of opening a cheap and direct through communication between
Manchester and Milford Haven.
Power will be applied for in the Bill to allow interest at the rate
of 4/. per cent. upon the amount of the deposits until the line is
opened; and no shareholder will be liabie for more than the amount
of his stibseription. •
In the allotment of shares a preference will be given to applica-
Ilona from persons locally interested. • •
Applications for shares may be addressed to the Secretary, at the
Company's Offices, No. 2, Norfolk-street, Manchester, and to the
local agents ; and prospectuses, plans, and forms of application may
