This line 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 ti comrneace 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 Cleebury Mortimer to Ludlow, where it will form a
junction with the Worcester and Portdynllaen, and Bridgnortk,
Ludlow, and Wolverhampton Railways. From Ludlow it will fellow
the line of the present mail read, along the Valley of the Tem* te
Knighton, from which place it is intended te throw off a branch to
the Craven Arms, to run into the Shropshire Mineral Railway, which
has" its terminus at that place. The Lime %will proceed from
Knighton to Lianidloes, where it will join the projected Manchester
and Aberystwith Railway, and proceed along that line far 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 lino, the plans, Sec., will all be ready
to ge to Parliament in the ensuing session.
The advantages of the present lime ever 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 anprovided with railway accommoda-
tion ; that by it and the Birmingham, Stamford, mid Roden lines, a
regular chain if 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 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 sourees of trails, 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 te ensure its complete 'Recess.
There are a* engineering difilealties of any magnitude, and no
ornamental property will be iavaded. Should the atmospheric pinei-
ple be fully tested and be found to slower, it will be adopted on this
line.

The responsibility of the shareholders will be limited to the meant
of their subscriptions, and powerlwill betaken in the Age to allow hi-
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 oat the objects of the Company.
