The line of Railway intended to be constructed by this Compa ty
will commence at or near Norton Bridge (a station of the Grand
Junction Railway), in the county of Stafford, and proceed frommit
thence by Eccleshall, Gilley, Norbury, Forton, Newport, Donnington
Wood, Oaken Gates, Priors Lee, Stirchley, Dawley, lladeley, and
Iron Bridge, to Coalbrook-dale ; there, crossing the proposed " Wor-
cester and Crewe Railway," it will pass along the slope of Wenlock-
edge, by Rushbury and Eaton-under-Haywood, to Wistanstow, in
the county of Salop, where it will run into, and form a junction with
the " Shrewsbury, Hereford, and North Wales Railway."
The line will traverse a rich mineral district, and will have asecure
ro
and extensive traffic by the carriage of coal fromanthsta.,Syh,
for
rsltiihree
coal-field, to a depOt proposed to be formed at
Supply of South Shropshire, part of Radnorsthhicrel,:n'ilnsietdreifioerdrefostsehwirse.,
and also from whence it will be conveyed by
3 into Mont,gomery shire and the
Shrews-
bury, and North Wales
neighbouring counties, wilitearielw coal doesnot e,xyisbte.
clatrrisicidn:pomsstiwblethtee
calculate the extent to which this traffic
nanufacturingtowns w
direct railway communication thus opened between
of ShrNeoptownshire
coal field, and the important
and Llanidioes, the price per ton will be reduced one-half at
those places, and the flannel manufacturers, now depend-
by the cheapness of coal, be
ing upon water power, will,
and to extend their trade in proportion to
_
enabled to employ steam,
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 lusufliciency of water.
A considerable amount of tonnage is now incurred by the Shrop-
shire irontnasterg,f or the conveyance of lime-stone from the neigh-
bourhood of Much Wenlock to the furnaces, by several transits of
land 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), t, large passenger traffic maybe depended upon, but when it
is COUSitIENd that the centre of the line passes through a densely-
Oopulated mining district, and. the remainder through a thriving
tetiVultural neighbourhood, it will be obvious that a sufficient local
IlLeyffexists to pay a highly remunerative interest on the amount of
Cltr tithqquired to be embarked. . _

_ .
'l'4 411,W will not interfere with any property of an omit
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 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 rate 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 th. line ; and the first
deposit being paid, a further call will not be made until the Act •
Parliament shall have been obtained. . .
