The main line of Railway proposed by this Company will hare its
terminus or departure at or near Wellington, in the county of Salop,
uniting there with the contemplated Birmingham and Shrewsbury
line, and passing by or near Hadley, Trench-lane, Donnington, and
Lilleshall, to the town of Newport, proceed from thence to, and
have its terminus of arrival at, Stafford, where It will unite with the
Grand Junction and the Trent Valley Lines, and effect a Junction, by
railway, between the important counties of Salop and Stafford: and
by a branch of about six miles, from Newport to the town of Shiffnal,
afford great facilities of inter-communication with Brosely, Madeley,
and Coalbrooke Dale, thus bringing these Important mineral districts
into immediate connexion with the Staffordshire Potteries, and the
several districts named, with the north and east of England.
The country traversed is peculiarly favourable to the formation of
a line of railway, presenting a nearly continuous level between the
termini, thus affording facilities which will render the construction
of the works Inexpensive and ensure their early completion, with the
additional and rare advantage of an economical adoption of loeomo-
' tive power in working the line.
The districts embraced by the undertaking are highly populous,
and have a very considerable local traffic, and the portion of the line
from Wellington to Newport will pass through a rich mineral country
forming part of the Great Shropshire coal and iron district, thereby
augmenting the general traffic of the line which will constitute., by
its junction, with the Trent Valley and the Grand Junction Railways,
the highway from the north and north-eastern parts of England to
Shropshire and the Welsh coast, and yield a highly remunerative
reltun on the comparatively small capital required to be embarked.
The Grand Junction Company deposited plans for a line having
many features in common with the one now proposed, as a portion
of a Shrewsbury and Stafford Railway, with the intention of obtain-
ing an Act, in the present Session, to authorise its construction, which
they abandoned in consequence of the Board of Trade having re-
ported in favour of Birmingham as a terminus for a Shrewsbury line.
The present line is now brought under public consideration as one
demanded for the promotion of the interests of the localities with
which it is immediately connected, under a conviction that, based
upon an independent Company, a desideratum which apps rs
to have here been required by the Board of Trade ; it will
be employed as an encouragement to a legitimate development of
the traffic of the districts it will embrace, and not be merely used by
existing lines as a protection against competition—will form an im-
portant link in the general chain of railway communication—
will be highly beneficial to the public at large, and will present an in-
I vrstment for capital of more than ordinary excellence.
The capital intended to be raised is 350,0001., divided into 7,000
shares of hOl. each. _ _

A deposit of 21. 15s. per share will be required to be paid upon
allotment to the credit of the Directors in account with the Bankers
of the Company, and no call will be made until an Act of Parliament
shall be obtained authorising the construction of the work.
The liability of the subscribers will be limited, by the Act, to the
amount of their respective subscriptions to the capital stock, and
power will be applied for in the Act to allow interest at the rate of
41. per cent. per annum on the amount of the deposit and upon the
further calls from the date of each payment until the opening of the

The Subscribers' agreement and the Parliamentary contract will
be required to be duly executed when the bankers' receipts are ex-
changed for certificates of scrip, of which due notice will be given,
and the deposits paid by persons making default in the due execution
of the Subscribers' agreement and Parliamentary contract within the
time to be limited by such notice, will be absolutely forfeited.
A preference will be given in the allotment of the Shares to par-
ties locally interested in the line ; and no Shares will be appropriated
except to persons who shall give satisfactory reference. •
Application for Shares must be made in the form appended hereto,
to the Offices of the Company, 41, Aloorgate-street ; to the Solicitors ;
add the following brokers :—Messrs. Carden and Whitehead, Thread-
