This line has been projected for the purpose of forming the most
direct communication id4tween Birmingham and the Midiaad Coun-
ties, and the important and rising port 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 Portdyiallaen and Bridgnorth,
Ludlow, and Wolverhampton 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 off 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 jo Llanidloes, where it will join the projected Manchester
ami :c.herAtwith • Ilallway, and prOcetti akm 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 upon the line, the plans, &c., 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 b‘tween 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; that it will open the slate

mines of Cardiganshire, and the limestone of Radnorshire to Shrop-
shire, and the whole 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 obvious that a high rate 'ef 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 no engineering difficulties of any magnitude, and no
ornamental property will be invaded. Should the atmospheric pinci-
ple be hilly 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 p,werxill 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 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. Franchi and Ileuesy, London ;
