WHILST providing a grand Trunk Line for Central
Wales in the Gloucester, Aberystwith, and Cen-
tral Wales Railway Company, the Directors of that im-
portant Undertaking have not been unmindful of the
various solicitations they hare received for the extension
of its public usefulness,
Amongst the first and most necessary of the contem-
plated Extensions is the Line of Railway now proposed ;
the objects of which are to connect, by a direct Line, the
teeming and fertile Districts of Herefordshire and the
adjoining highly productive Agricultural Counties of
Radnor and Cardigan with the great Mineral Districts of
Merthyr Tidvil and the Neighbourhood •, and by means
of the Manchester and Birmingham Continuation and
Welsh Junction, proposed to run from Crewe, aid Lien-
gerrig, (where that Line meets that of the Gloucester,
Aberystwith, and Central Wales) to Aberystwith, to
connect North and South Wales, also Shropshire,
Cheshire, &c., with the West of England.
It will hardly be necessary to dilate upon the enormous
Traffic which must exist between the densely populated
Districts of Merthyr Tidvil, the Agricultural Counties
before mentioned, with the surrounding Country, and the
Mines of Cardiganshire. In the latter neighbourhood
the want of Coal is much felt. Improvement in Trade,
increased profits to Mining Establishments and Manu-
facturers, the more ready interchange of Food for the pro-
ducts of the Mines, and general addition to prosperity
must follow from the construction of this Line, which has
the merit of clashing with no other project, and of being
strongly sought after and recommended by existing inter-
ests.
This Line will leave the Main Line at Glasbury, from
whence it will run in an almost direct course along the
Banks of the Lliinvy River through Talgarth by Llangose
Lake, crossing the river Usk at a most favourable point;
it will then intersect the populous neighbourhood of Taly-
bont, and, after striking the Valleys of the Glyn and
Taaffechan, terminate at Merthyr Tidvil.
The necessary connection of this Line with the Taaf
Vale and South Wales Railways will be obvious.
A short Branch from the Glyn Valley will connect the
Line with the Great Iron Works and Mineral Districts
of Sirlwwy Tredegar, and Rhymny ; and, by means of the
Tredegar Railway, connect it also with the important
Town and Port of Newport.
It may be remarked that this Line bas long been called
for by the Local Wants of the Districts affected by its
progress, and was surveyed many years since by an emi-
nent Engineer (the late GEORGE OvnitTost. Esq., who
planned the first Railway for Locomotive Power in the
Kingdom). The length of the Line will be about Twenty
Miles.
In the Allotment of Shares (which will take place at
the earliest possible moment, on account of the necessity
of being prepared for the ensuing Session of Parliament),
preference will he given to parties locally interested in the
Line, and to Scrip Holders in the Gloucester and Aber-
ystwith Railway Company.
Applications for Shares in the annexed form may be
made to the respective Solicitors •, to the Secretary, at the
offices of the Company, No. 1, New Broad-street ; or to
the following local solicitors:—Birmingham, Messrs.
HILL and EVERILL ; Gloucester, HENRY EVANS, Esq. ;
Ross, Messrs. EDWARDS ; Hereford, J. H. RAVENHILL.

PHIS Railway will commence at the port of Harwich,
and proceed from thence to a junction with the Lon-
don and Birmingham Railway at or near Blisworth, or to
such other point as may be agreed upon by the Engineers
of the two Companies ; and the Provisional Committee
has the satisfaction of stating, that they have received the
assurance of the London and Birmingham Company,
that their Board is favourable to the undertaking.
The importance of the port of Harwich, as being the
only safe Harbour along the east coast of England, has
not failed to attract the especial attention of Government;
and the following short extract from the very able report
of Captain Washington, one of the Commissioners ap-
pointed to inquire into the most eligible situations for
Harbours of Refuge, shows the great importance, which
is attached by Government to its improvement.
" It is well to bear in mind what this port was during
the last war, and what it must again become for
another North Sea Fleet. It was from Harwich
that the Hollesley Bay fleet was always watered by
transports; it was here that all vessels from a fri-
gate downwards, in case of need, came for a partial
refit at the naval yard still in existence; here no
less than sixty ships of war have b 'en built,
fifteen of which were two deckers, while the ton-
nage of the vessels employed in the North Sea
Fishery belonging to Harwich, a few years since
was estimated at 3,000 tons, employing 500 hardy

THE object of this Company is to form a direct Line
of Railway between the large and important town of
Nottingham and the Metropolis, which, by means of the
existing and proposed lines north of the former place, will
afford also the most direct and shortest route between
London, Sheffield, Huddersfield, Leeds, the North of
England generally, and Scotland, and between London
and Nltuichester.

It is not the present intention of this Company to form
an independent Line between London and Bedford, but
to wait the result of the ensuing Session of Parliament,
and to take advantage of such one of the projected Lines
between those places as shall receive the sanction of the
Legislature.

The proposed Railway will therefore commence at
Bedford, and taking a course northward through the po-
pulous district of Higham Ferrars, to or near Kettering
and Melton Mowbray, will proceed almost in a straight
line to Nottingham. Its length will be 64 miles, through
a thickly-populated country, and one offering no difficul-
ties of any moment to the construction, in a direct course,
of the proposed Railway. A reference to the Map will
show that this Line, in conjunction with the proposed
Railways north of No:tingliam, will he the nearest route
from London to Sheffield, Huddersfield, Leeds, the North
of England, and Scotland ; while, by means of the pro-
posed Nottingham and Ambergate, and Manchester,
Buxton and Ambergate Lines, it will be found to offer a
more direct communication than any in existence between
London and Manchester, and equally so with any one
projected between those places.

The Promoters are already assured that the undertak-
ing will be cordially approved by the landed and other lo-
cal interests. It has the sanction and active assistance of
Directors from almost every Line of Railway which it af-
fects. It has the earnest support of the inhabitants of
the towns of Nottingham and Sheffield, and of the manu-
facturing and commercial classes of the North, and the
Committee are not aware of any grounds, either public or
private, upon which the sanction of Parliament can be
withheld from a Line which, from the amount of its traffic,
guarantees to the Proprietors as large a return upon the
Capital to be invested as any Railway in the kingdom.
In the allotment of Shares a preference will be given to
parties locally interested in the Line, and a certain num-
ber will be reserved for the Shareholders in Railways im-
mediately connected with the present undertaking.
A Prospectus, with Plan, and a List of the Provisional
Committee, and any further particulars, may be obtained
from the SECRETARY, at the Offices of the Company ; or
to Messrs. EDWARD ELI-is and Co., Sharebrokers, 53,

PROSPECTUS

THIS Line of Railway is especially promoted for the
purpose of effecting the nearest and most direct com-
munication between Birmingham and Manchester and
Birmingham and Derby, and while it will, by a straight
line, unite these great manufacturing towns, it will also
form a most important connecting link with the greatest
trunk lines in England.
Placed in the exact centre of the kingdom, and uniting
in a short and direct Line, the whole of the Railway com-
munication of the south-west (converging to a centre at
Birmingham) with, that of the north and north-east, of
which Manchester on the one hand, and Derby, Leeds,
York, Hull, and the whole of the northern counties on the
other, are the leading points, the great importance of this
Railway cannot be questioned.
By the present arrangements, the two great sources of
traffic, the Manchester and the great northern districts are
broneht to a point at or near Lichfield, from which place
they have to take a circuitous ',lite in order to reach Bir-
mingham, which lies in a direct line before them, and
which line is the one now proposed to construct.
To the towns along the line, south of Manchester,
namely, Stockport, Macclesfield, Leek, Cheadle, Uttoxe-
ter, Lichfield, and Sutton Coldfield, this Railway will
secure the most important advantages.
To the Staffordshire Potteries, Congleton, Stone, and
Rugeley, by means of one of the projected lines to Lich-
field, a practicable and direct Railway communication will
be afforded to Birmingham and to the counties and sea-
ports south and south we,t of Birmingham, while to Man-
chester and the towns above enumerated this Line will, by
its junction with the Trent Valley Railway at Lichfield,
afford as direct a communication with London as can be

made.
