MIIIS Important Line will commence at the City of
Worcester. and be carried near Tenbury to its Ter-
mination at Ludlow, leaving the Vale of the Severn, it
will reach, with an:easy sweep, the Teme Valley, & running
up the course of the Teme, will pursue throughout the
greater portion of its course a water level. As an Inde-
pendent Line, it affords no ordinary facilities for cheap
and speedy formation, and being carried through a rich,
fertile, and populous Country, would be able to furnish a
Traffic Table sufficient for the purposes of Ample Remu-
neration to the Shareholders.

As a Junctio❑ Line, and forming a portion of that
Great Chain of Communication between the Metropolis
and Portddynllaen, which will eventually become the
Ordinary and Nearest Route to Ireland, it is not easy to
calculate its advantages. A straight line drawn from
London to Portddynllaen, will pass near to the Towns of
Worcester, Ludlow, and Newtown, showing that this
Railway must necessarily be a portion of a Grand Trunk
Line.

On the completion of the railways projected to New-
town, it will necessarily be the medium of transit for all
passengers going to the Northern and Central part of
Wales ; it will bring the woollens of Montgomeryshire to
London and the East, and, on the carrying out the pro-
jected Newtown and Portddynllaen line, it will be the
high road between London and Dublin.

This Company is strictly independent and unconnected
with any other. It will reserve to itself the power of
continuing its course to the Craven Arms and Newtown,
should the projected line to Newtown fail to obtain an
Act of Parliament, and also to extend its course beyond
Newtown to Porthdynllaen, and to raise any additional
Capital requisite to perform these several extensions. As
an investment of Capital there can be no superior one.
Worcester, from its situation on the rich Vale of the
Severn, from its Population, Wealth, and Manufactures,
must naturally become the most important centre from
which all lines from the Metropolis, having North Wales,
part of South Wales, and Ireland, as their objects of com-
munication, eventually converge.
There are no difficult Earthworks or Tunnels on the
line. The Gradients are easy ; for a greater part of the
distance on a water level. A survey has been made.
In the allotment of Shares every preference will be
given to parties locally interested ; and in setting out the
Line,the greatest attention will be given, as far as possible,
to resift': ornamental Property, Gentlemen's 'Grounds,
&c.

The principal part of the influential Landowners, be-
tween Worcester and Porthdynllaen, have expressed their
unqualified approbation of the Railway and its objects,
and have promised their most energetic support.
Powers will be taken in the Act to adopt the Atmos-
pheric mode of traction, if it should be found requisite.
The liability of Shareholders will be limited by the Act
to the amount of their several subscriptions.

Applications for Shares must be made in the form ap-
pended, to the Solicitors, at the Offices of the Society ;
or to Messrs. CARDEN and WHITEHEAD, Threadneedle-
street, and Messrs. PEPPERCORN and PREECE, Broad-
street, London.
