This railway will connect the east and west coasts, and form a
direct route from the ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood-on-Wyre, and
Lancas:er, to Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Commencing at Lancaster, It
will proceed up the valley of the Luna, by Kirkby Lonsdale, Sedbergk,
and Kirkby Stephen, awl thence by the most practicable line to New-
castle. It will run nearly parallel with the eld coach road, which
has hitherto been the principal passenger route from Lancaster to
Newcastle.

It will readily be conceded that great benefits will flow from a
direct railway communication between the coal-fields and mining
districts of Durham and %Torthumnerland, and the important towns
and ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood, • ewcnstle, aii.l Lancaster.
the entire length of the line is rich in mineral proiucticns—coal,
slate, limestone, marble, and ether elements of a great local traffic
abound, and cannot fail to make this one+ of the most remunerative
projects of the day. A considerable saving of distance between the
important towns on the termini is effected over any existing or pro-
jected scheme.
It will be reserved to the Committee of Management to make suck
alterations in the line, or the am sunt of capital required, or other-
wise, as may be deemed most advantageous to the interests , lthe
Company. Power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate
of four per cent. on the calls from the passing of the Act to the
opening of the line, as well at to limit the liability of tke shareholders
to the amount of their subscriptions only.

Prospectuses and forms of application for shares nay be had of the
Solicitors, and of the following brokers:—

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

Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereham,
Lynn, and Holbeach Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn.
Witham, Castle Bytham, 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, an almost direct route to Leicester, and
thence to Coventry and Birmingham by the proposed Coventry,
Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway.
The projected line will form the most direct communication be-
tween the eastern and midland districts if the kingdom, and will, by
means of the proposed lines across the county of Leicester, via Bur-
ton-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincoln, Norfolk,
Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by many miles
than any other line of railway.
It will form, with other projected railways, an almost direct line
across the kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, on the east, to
Aberystwith, -via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the west.
The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. There is notunnel-
ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary; the line
from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve miles, is very
level, and may be constructed at a small cost.
It will secure the advantages of railway communication to a tract
of country at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open-
ing out sources of trade undeveloped for want of tbe 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 trail,/ for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei-
cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon
supply from the north at high prices: it will also secure the advan-
tages of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershire works,
to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, which are at present only
supplied at very high rates; and, in return traffic, the midland dis-
tricts will olstain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and
agricultural product of Lincolnshire and Norfolk.
Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which is
the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland acuities, and
connected by the River Welland with the German Ocean.
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 passengers between Birmingham, Co-
ventry,up, Spalding, and Boston, the trans-
port of the great agricultural
port of
Leicester,
rn,
districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming
corn,
Derby,cattle,ando Mtehletio
districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland
districts, will be sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay.
The Parliamentary surveys have been commenced, and are now
in active progress, and contracts have been entered into which en-
sure sufficient time for compliance with the standing orders.
Forms of application for shares, plan., and prospectuses may be
had of the Solicitors ; also at the offices of the Company, 4, Tra-
falgar-square, Charing•cross, where applications tor shares, /mom.
panted by respectable references, may be addressed to the Provi-

This lino 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 commence 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 Cleobury Mortimer to Ludlow, where it will form a
junction with the Worcester and Portdyellaen, and Bridgnorth,
Ludlow, and Vfolverhampton Railways. From Ludlow it will follow
the line of the present mail road, along the Valley of the Teme to
Knighton, from which place it is intended to throw ET a branch to
the Craven Arms, to run 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 are already open the line, the plans, &e., 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 Birmingham and Aberystwith are :—That it is the
most direct route between the respective termini; that it passes
through a district at 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; 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 Anna, 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 obvious 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 complete success.
There are ne engineering difficulties of any magnitude, and net
ornamental property will be invaded. Should the atmospheric pinci-
ple 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 Nwer.will be taken 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 fonns of application for shares, may
be had from the Secretary, at the Office if the Company, 163, Fen-
church-street; from the Solicitors and Local Agents; and also from
the following Brokers, viz.:.—Messrs. Franchi and lienesy, London :

solicitor, or person of known responsibility.

TO THE EDITOR.

Sm,—Observing • that doubts have been expressed whether in
many of the various railway schemes now before the public the de-
posits on the capital have been paid, or, if paid, have been properly
applied, the Committee think it right to state, that the deposits on
the shares allotted in this railway have been duly paid, and that a
sum exceeding three-fourths of the amount has been invested in
Consols in the names of Trustees for the Company.

In consequence 6f the great slumber of applications for share-
in this Company which are daily received from, all parts of the
country, the Provisional Directors feel it necessary to call the atten-
tion o I the Public to the following Clause in the Prospectus, to the
terms of which they will, in allotting the shares, be corapelled most
strictly ,to ad here :

" As, under arrangements entered into with the Lyas and Ely,
Ely and Huntingdon, and Lynn and Derehant Railway Companies,
a large proportion of the capital has been appropriated to the holders
of shares in those Companies, a very limited number of shares only
is at the disposal of the Provisional Directors, and no application for
shares therefore can be attended to, except front parties locally in-
terested and of the highest respectability.

MANCHESTER AND MILFORD HAVEN
RAILWAY.
The Manchester and Birmingham Continuation and Welsh Junc-
tion Railway having been projected to traverse the same line of
country as the northern part of this lino, the Committee have con-
sidered it to be for the benefit of the Shareholders to avoid any Par-
liamentary contest ; and have, aocordingly, entered into an arrange-
ment for the'entire amalgamation of the two Companies, on equal
terms.
In pursuance of this arrangement, the line of the Manchester and
Milford Haven Railway will commence by a junction with the other
line, near Llangerrig, Instead of at Crewe. The capital is reduced
to 1,500,000/.; and a portion of the Shares have been granted to the
other Company. It has become necessary, therefore, to close the list
ef applications ; and no application tbr Shares will be received after
WOAD =AULT aUL the sth darof NOTentber osaCept from landowners
