The imperative necessity, alike in
point of view, for drawing as clogely together as
Of England '
and Ireland, has suggested the
London and 'Dublin Approximation Railwa
yhead. It
Which it is difficillt to over estimate, since it will b• takefoand°t:aiuofa
nearly direct course " from the -English metropolis to Hoi
will pass through or near the populous and notolo county town of
Shropshire (as yet unprovided with railway communication), and
will traverse along its whole, extent districts second in wealth, re-
sources, trade, and commerce,-to. none in the empire ; bringing them
more nearly and litmediatefi-in contact with London and Dublin,
than Ms hitherto been. thought lossibie. This project Is wholly in-
dependent of any other line-already before the public, and as it
possesses national advantages which none can surpass, raust, when
carried out, become, without eXception, the most important railway
la Greatisritign.
