The line will traverse a rich mineral district, and will have a secure
and extensive traffic by the carriage of coal from the Shropshire
coal-field, to a depot proposed to be formed at Wistanstow, for the
supply of South Shropshire, part of Radnorshire and Herefordshire,
and also from whence it will be conveyed by the " Hereford, Shrews-
bury, and North Wales Railway," into Montgomerj shire and the
neighbouring counties, where coal does not exist. It is impossible to
calculate the extent to which this traffic may be carried, as by the
direct railway communication thus opened between the Shropshire
coal-field, and the important manufacturing towns of Newtown
and Lhundloes, the price per ton will he reduced one-half at
those places, and the flannel manufacturers, now depend-
ing upon water power, will, by the cheapness of coal, be
enabled to employ steam, and to extend their trade in proportion to
the great demand which exists for the Welsh flannels, in preference
to any other. The importance of this subject will have its due weight
with those who so often witness the bad effects upon the trade, caused
by the stoppage of the mills from an insufficiency of water.
A considerable amount of tonnage is no N incurred by the Shrop-
shire iromna.sters, for the conveyance of lime-stone from the neigh-
bourhood of Much Wenlock to the furnaces, by several transits of
lawd and water carriage, whereas the proposed railway will convey
it direct into the heart of the works, and at one-third of the expense.
By its junction with the " Grand Junction" and the " Hereford
and Shrewsbury" Railways, this line will form a direct communica-
tion between Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, York and Hull, and
Swansea and South Wales.
As a junction line alone (connecting as it will such important rail-
ways), ;, large passenger traffic may be depended upon, but when it
is considez,xl that the centre of the line passes through a densely-
populated mining district, and the remainder through a thriving
agricultural neighbourhood, it will be obvious that a sufficient local
traffic exists to pay a highly remunerative interest on the amount of
capital required to be embarked.
The line, which will not interfere with any property of an orna-
mental or costly character, will not exceed 46 miles in length, and
will be constructed at much less than the average cost.

Such important local co-operation has been secured, that no oppo-
sition is anticipated or can be sustained against the measure.
The liability of the Shareholders wal be limited, by the Act, to the
amount of their subscription to the capital stock ; and power will be
applied for to allow interest at the rata of four 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 tit.; line ; and the first
deposit being paid, a further call will not be made until the Act of
Parliament shall have been obtained.

Maps of the line, prospectuses, &c., are to be obts.!ned from the
Secretary, the solicitors, the local agents, also the brokers, Messrs.
Mieville and Co., Angel-court, Throginorton-street, Londoo. ; Messrs.
Cameron, Cazenove, and Taunton, Liverpool ; Messrs. Green mid Old-
ham, Manchester ; Nathaniel Lea, Esq., Birmingham ; Messrs. ‘iolmes
and Tripp, Bristol ; Messrs. Turley and Cooper, Leeds ; J. Senior, Nag.
Sheffield ; Messrs. Brady and Stauiforth, Ilull ; to whom applicatu..33
for Shares (which must be on printed forms) may be addressed ; and
It will be necessary that refereuea be made to a balker, solicitor, or
person of responsibility.
