SECRETARY—John Trevor, Esq.

This railway will commence at the Important town of Wolver-
hampton, proceeding through or near to Seisdon, Trysull, and Chi-
verly, to the manufacturing town of Bridgnorth : from thence it will
continue through a rich agricultural and populous district to Lud-
low, and there ran into other proJect,tl lines to all parisof England,
North and South Wales, and Ireland, a distance of about thirty-two
miles.

It will afford direct communication between-Ludlow, •Bridgnorth,
and Wolverhampton, ; and, by the South Staffordshire
Junction Railway give to those towns and districts the most direct
rattle. for passengers and goods to and from the Central, North
Eastern, and Eastern parts of the Kingdom, ant from which those
towns hare hitherto been excluded by every project of the day.
It will convey to the agricultural districts of Herefordshire and
South Shropshire, and also to the towns of ltridgnorth and Ludlow,
coals and the mineral productions of Statlbrdshire, Worcestershire,
ant the Clee-hills, at nearly one-half the present cost of those neces-
sary articles, and be the means of conveyance for corn, cattle, sheep,
cider, wool, and other agricultural productions, as also timber
from the before-mentioned agricultural counties, to the heart of the
mining and manufacturing districts, which cannot fail to produce an
immense traffic.

To the towns embraced in this line, the value of obtaining thereby,
at the cheapest rate, coal and the necessaries of life, will be of the
utmost Importance.
. . . . . _

One principal feature in this projection is, that as either Ludlow or
Bridgnorth will lie in the direct route of one of the projects to be pro-
posed to Parliament in the next session, for the most direct commu-
nication between Ireland and the Metropolis, this line will thereby
afford to passengers the easistcommunication to and from the central
parts of the kingdom. . . .

• It is satisfacti;ry tp the promoters to state, that they have the
sanction of the Grand Junction Company, and the cc-operation of the
Shrewsburyl Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire Junction, and
the South Staffordshire Junction Companies, and that no project has
been announced In-competition with its acknowledged claim on put,lic
seoport.

The whole line is free from engineering difficulties, and can be con-
structed at a moderate cost, and has obtained the approval of the
lauded interest, whose ornamental properties have been strictly
protected.
Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the
Company will be under the direction and control of the Committee
of Management, who are hereby empowered to enter into such ar-
rangements as shall best serve the int.'rests of this Company and the
public, with existing or projected companies, and also to nominate
the first dinctors of the Company.
Power will be taken under the Act to limit the responsibility of
Shareholders to the amount of their subscription, and to allow four
per cent. interest on the calls.
Preference to the allotment of shares will be given to those locally
Interested, and to the shareholders of lines in connexion with this.

No applications for shares can in any ease be attended to, unless
refrence be made to one ofthe. Provisional Committee, the Solicitors,
Bankers, or Brokers of the Company.

FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES

To the Provlsional:Committee of the Wolverhampton, Bridgnorth,
and Ludlow Railway.

Gentlemen,—l request you to allot me shares in the Wol-
yerhampton, Brldgnorth, and Ludlow Railway ; and I undertake to
pay the de7osite of 'V. 25., and all further calls upon the gime, or
such lesser number as you may allot to me, and to execute the sub-
scribers' agreement and the parliamentary contract when called
upon to do so.

pedition than if transmitted to Calais, a sea passage of only 24 miles,
and usually made in two hours.
The traffic and expenditure may be fairly estimated as follows :
From 50,000 passengers, who, according to the recent re-
turns from Ostend and Antwerp, annually visit the Conti-
nent and return by this route, say, from each, on an ave-
rage, 10s. each way ......... ...... ................... Z 50,000
For the transport of mails ll'om the respective Governments 10,000
Local traffic in goods and passengers

£llO,OOO
Deduct the expenses of working the line, calculated at •• • • 30,000

£BO,OOO

Thus leaving a profit of 10% per cont. to the shareholders, with
every prospect of a considerable increase annually in the traffic, as
has been by experience proved to be the result on all the other lines
in operation in Belgium, as well as other countries.
The projected railroad would pass through a perfectly level tract
of country rich in agricultural productions, presenting no natural
impediments to its construction, and would • require neither tunnels
nor viaducts ; anti the only bridges necessary would be the spanning
of a few dykes. Thus the construction would be unattended with
heavy expense, and its working, when completed, of the same eco-
nomical character; for, as experience has shown, the most consider-
able item in working a railway is the supply of coal for the locomo-
tives; the proximity to the port of Dunkirk, and the easy access to
the Belgian coal fields, obviate this difficulty.
This line, which has been already examined by an eminent engi-
neer, will be about sixty miles in extent from one extremity to the
other; will connect in its route the towns of Calais, Gravelines, and
Dunkirk, in France, with Furntss, Nieuport, and Bruges, in Bel-
gium ; thus securing a very important local traffic in goods and pas-
song: rs, irdepextient of the foreign traffic before alluded to, placing
the-possibility of its paying beyond all doubt.
Arrangements are in progress and strongly supported by persons of
the itighest influence both ia Belgium and France for obtaining tile
consent of :he Belgian and French Governments to the above line ;
and as it is so obviously advantageous to the former Government
to encourage the formation of a line, bringing two such important
capitals as Brussels and London within ten hours distance of each
other, and the intention of the latter to encourage the formation of a
continuous line. cf railway mild the coast, little doubt is entertained
by the Di rec:ors in Belgium, France, and England, of such applications
proving successful.
In the event of the applications proving unsuccessful, the deposits
will be ralurned, with the exception of a charge on each share, not
exceeding five shillings.
Application fee prospectuses and forms of application may be made
at the Company's offices, and the offices of the solicitors, 5, Basing-
hall-street ; and to the following brokers :
