The object of this important scheme is the establishment of a direct
line of communication between Birmingham and Birkenhead by the
nearest possible route, and at the sniallest possible outlay. The great
advantages of such a project are, that with the least possible amount
of injury to existing interests, the public will realise all the benefit of
an entirely new, direct, and independent line
FROM LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM TO BIRKENHEAD,
FROM LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM TO HOLYHEAD.
And on the completion of the proposed Birkenhead and Liverpool
Railway-bridge, the shortest and must direct route
FltOM LONDON TO LIVERPOOL.

The line to be constructed by this Company will be about 45
miles in length. It is proposed to make use of the railway commu-
nication already existing between London and Birmingham, and
Birmingham and Wolverhampton, and thence to throw out a con-
tinued line through Market Drayton to Chester, where a junction
will be effected with the railway already existing between that city
and Birkenhead. By this means about 15 miles will be saved be-
tween Birmingham and Birkenhead, about 25 mi'es between Bir-
mingham and Liverpool, and many miles between Birmingham and
Holyhead. The distance between London and these places will be
shortened in like proportion.
Not only Is such a line greatly needed, but the scheme is fraught
with consequences of the highest possible amount to the commercial
interests of the country.

The importance and growing prosperity of Birkenhead impera-
tively demand direct communication with the midland, southern,
western, and eastern counties, from which it is virtually excluded by
the circuitous routes of every other line, whether existing or pro-
jected. By passing near to the Lilleshall and South Staftbrdshire
ironworks, the ironmasters of those localities will be enabled to com-
pete with the Scotch market, which they have hitherto been unable
to do, in consequence of the heavy charges lor freight to Birkenhead
and Liverpool ; and by accommodating Newport and Market Dray-
ton, it will impart to an important agricultural district the advan-
tages of a local railway, which has long been wanted. The line is
further required for the convenience of the immense population of
the termini, and the full development of the vast through traffic, both
in passengers and merchandise, from the south, east, and west of the
metropolis.
A most important feature In this project is, that it will open the
shortest possible route from London to Ireland, with the lenst
Possible amount of sea travelling.
From the causes above enumerated, the proposed line offers a safe
field for lucrative investment ; but in addition to this, the Trent
Valley, London and Birmingham, Birmingham and Gloucester, Ox.
ford, and Worcester and Wolverhampton, as well as the Stafford and
Shrepshire Railways, will be valuable tributaries to its revenue.
By adopting this particular route, all engineering difficulties will
be avoided, and great local influence secured.
The surveys are in a forward state, and the projectors will be quite
ready to proceed to Parliament next session Prospectuses and
plans may be obtained on application to any of the solicitors or
agents, to whom application for shares may be made in the follow-
ing form :

will be entirety obviated, and manufacturers and merchants in mos:
parts of the country, west and north, or south, will be thus en
abled to forward and receive goods direct frc m and to Dover and
Folkstone, avoiding the present inconvenient mode and expense of
transference from railway to railway across London.
Any attempt to distinguish the number of passengers proceed-
ing to or from London, or the provinces and the continent by the
South Eastern anti Dover Rail ray, would be abortive; but the
published statements of that Company show that the tratlte ex.
ceeds 8,000/. weekly, and the accounts of arrivals at, and departures
from Calais, Boulogne, and Ostend, exhibit an astonishing number
of persona as passengers; to and from England weekly, by Dover
and Foikenstone, throughout the whole of the year. Yielding to
the metropolis one.half of the number as a large proportion, the
remaining half will belong to the provinces and Ireland, who will
probably prefer to be conveyed from or to their localities without
the annoyance of being compelled to pass through London, es-
pecially as the saving of distance alone will considerably diminish
expenses.

it is expedient that expedition and secrecy should be observed in
the removal of troops, the means offered by this Company will
greatly assist the authorities in facilitating their objects.
The railways already constructed or projected with which this
fine of railway will effect a union or communication, and recipro-
cate, advantages exceed fifty in number (as will be seen by examin-
ing any railway map), and all of them must be in direct commu-
nication with, and will feed, or be fed by The Southern Counties
Union, and Bristol, Bath, and Dover Direct Hallway ; the most
important junctions being those leading to this line from the north
and the manufacturing districts by Oxford to Dover and Brighton,
those from Ireland, North Wales by Cheltenham or Oxford and
this railway to Dover or Brighton, and those from the south and
west of Enplane.. by Salisbury to Dover; thus effecting a con-
tinuance and direct Intercourse with nearly every part of Eng-
land, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and the continent.

The census returns show that this railway will pass through a
country containing a population of upwards of one million, and this
number, though large, may be fairly multiplied several tiales,if all
the other parts of the kingdom which will benefit by it be con.
bider ed.

With these facts before them, the promoters have not deemed it
necessary to put forth estimates of traffic; the soundness of the
project being guaranteed by the truths already given in this brief
exposition, and the great objects intended to be compassed by this
Company.
