This railway will commence at the important town Of Wolver-
hampton, proceeding through or near to Seisdos, Trysull, and Cla-
verly, to the manufacturing town of Bridgnorth : from thence it will
continue through a rich agricultural and populous district to Lud-
low, and there fall into other project,d lines to all parisof England,
North and South Wales, and Ireland, a distance of about thirty-two

and Wolve:l'
route • for passenge; 'an..
Eastern, and Eastern parts of .
i,,' will afford direct communication between Ludlow, Bridgnorth,
ampton, Dudley, &c. ; and, by the South Staffordshire
Junction It;tilway. "lye to those towns and districts the most direct

towns have hitherto been excluded by .. e 3:.ra Herefordshire and
It Will Contey to the agricultural item— rth Ludlow

coals and the mineral productions of Staffordshire, Ivy.
an I the Clee-hills, at nearly obc,half the present cost of those _ ..
neces-
sary articles, and be the means of conveyance for corn, cattle, sheet.,
cider, Wool, hops, 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 Pm, the value of obtaining thereby,
at tile 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, mr the most direct commu-
nication bet Ween Ireland and the Metropolis, gni line will thereby
r. from to passengers the easist.communicatlon to and from the central
Nati to the ithigdom,
It is satisfactory to the promoters to state, that they havd the
sanction of the Grand Junction Company, and the co-operation of the
Shrewsburyf Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire Junction, and
the South Staffordshire Junction Companies, and that no project has
been announced in competition with its acknowledged claim 011 public
import.

The whole line is free from engineering difficulties, and can be con-
structed at a moderate cost, and has obtained the approval of the
landed 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 Matiageinent, who are hereby empowered to enter into such ar-
rangements L Shall best serve the interests of this Company and the
public, with existing or projected companies, and also to nominate
