The most direct a, (1 speedy communication between the English
and Irish capitals has beenaleelared, by influential ineiniee's of the
present and former Governments, to be a great desideratum ; and
possessing, in addition to this valuable authority, the sapport and
sanction of many, or nearly all, he principal noblemen, gentlemen,
and landholders in North Wales, this Company is established for the
purpose of immediately forming a line of railway which will effect
this longelesired object.
The importance, nay, the necessity, of such a line has long been
felt by the public at large ; it must, therefore, tae limited at not as
merely a private speculation, but also as a great national undertak-
ing, opening, as it will. facilities t'or the most expeditions mend, be
tween the two capitals, ane at the same time. offering a most direct
communication with the small of Ireland, via WiCklsve, thereby
0 inferring an itnnten*.e benefit on both kingdoms.
The proposed lice continence at Shrewsbury, be a junction
with the Birmingham and sltrewsbary Railway, and nroceed thence
as nearly as possible in a straight direction to Port Dytill ten,.pass-
ing through, or by, Bala, and the other principal towns on the rotate,
being a distance of about entity-dour miles. A very important fea-
ture in this line is, that the expense and difficulty of passing the
3lenai Straits are at'oided.
Hitherto the mountainous nature of some of the districts through
which the line must pass, has been generally considered as opposing
obstacles too formidable for locomotive i.ransit, which accounts for
the principality having so long continued without the advantages of
a railway. These difficulties are surmounted by the application of
the atmospheric system, which it 'is therefore proposed to adopt.
The considerations for employing the atmospheric principle are
founded not only on the strong opinion in its favour expressed in the
report of the Select Committee appointed by Parliament to examine
into Its merits, but also on its peculiar suitableness to several of the
gradients to be encountered on the line, its superior speed, safety,
and economy, and its absence from the possibilty of the occurrence
of those frightful accidents by collision which have so frequently
happened of late, and to which locomotive engines must ever he
liable.
The distatice between Perth Dynllaen and Kingstown is only
about six and a-half miles farther than between Kingstown and
Holyhead ; but in consequence of the position of the latter place,
being two or three points to leeward of the acknowledged prevailing
gales of St. George's Channel, a shorter passage can be made on an
average throughout the year from Perth Dynllaen. This is con-
firmed by Captain Beaufort, as referred to in the master:y report of
Sir John Rennie on the subject ; in which, afer going into details
(coinciding in every material point with the opinions cf Mr. Page
and others), Sir John thus concludes with a general summary of the
case in reference .to Porth Dynllaen:—" That it is two points farther
to windward than Holyhead, and, to use the expressive words of
Captain Beaufort, ' has a fair wind both ways, to and from Kings-
town.' This is particularly important, because it enables the pea-
sage to 1 e made in equal, if not less time than from Holyhead,
although the distance is rather greater ; and It is not less important
to maintain the communication between the two countries during
the winter season with as much speed and as little interruption as
Possible."

Taking this project in a remunerative point of view, we have to
bear in mind not only-the great amount of traffic which it is certain
to command, when the entire line Is completed, and the journey be-
ween the two capitals can be accomplished in twelve hours (thus
ensuring much of the Irish, American, and West Indian trade). but
also with other railways now in progress ; the vast mercantile traffic
it must bring, from its opening the most convenient outlet for the
wealthy mineral and agricultural productions of the counties of
Caernarvon, Merioneth, Montgomery, and Denbigh.
The extensive and apparently inexhaustible quarries of Caernar-
von, Bangor, Ffestiniog, &c., will supply all the Midland Counties
of England with slate, &c., at a much less cost than at present ;
and the carriage of the important articles of lime, coal, and colo-
nial produce to Wales, will also form an important source of revenue.
Another very important consideration presents itself in the cer-
tainty of this line being adopted for the transmission of the mails,
affording, as it assuredly will, ample facility for the dispatch of let-
ters frem either metropolis, and the return of answers within
twenty-six hours.
Lower will he applied for in the Act—and in the meantime is
given to the Committee of Management—to increase the capital, if
necessary, to alter or abandon any part of the line, to make branch
lines, to enter into arrangements with any other company or corn-
pa nies, and generally to manage the affairs of the Company.
In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to landholders
and others locally interested. The subscribers will he held liable
only for the amount of their first deposit, until an Act of Parliament
be obtains ', and afterwards only to the ante ;nt of their subscrip-
tions; and power will he applied fo, in the Bill to allow interest :it
the rate of 4/. per cent. per annum, on all calls, from the passing of
the Act until the opening of the line.

The first object of this line is to connect the town of Birmingham,
Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern roast by the nearest route,
and to supply an Important link of communication between the town
of. Spalding and the eastern coast with the Western and 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 midlind districts of 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 retinal,
It will form, with otheected railways, an almost direct line
across the kingdom, from Yarinouth, 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 the 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 transit 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 otAain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and
agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk.
Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which is
the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, 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 traffie in passengers between Birmingham, Co-
ventry, Leicester, Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Boston, the trans-
port of corn, cattle, and other produce of .the great agricultural
districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming
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.
