Ja submitting this undertaking to the public, the protsoters—a
numerous and highly influential clops—have been haftuenood no less
by the general facilities presented for its construction, by the fa-
vourable character of-the country through which it k intended to
pass, than by the conviction of Its great local and general import-
ance as a direst connecting line between North and . South Wales,
Shrewsbury, 'Lichfield, Tamworth, Derby, and Leicester, and the
Midland and Eastern Counties generally.
To effect this desideratum, the formation of a new line of lit or 20
with the Shrewsbury, Wolverhanip-
Shrewsbury, 'Wolverhampton, and
miles only will be required ; communicating with the Trent Talley
at Shiffntd.

Wales, has been hitherto altogether in the range of ex-
isting railways, particularly towards the east, the nearest beistg at
the distance of 28 miles.
The town of Shrewsbury, now 95 miles from Leioester by road
and railway, will, by means of this and the other projected lines, be
broutrbt within G 5 miles.
When the ordinary passenger traffic, aid the vast *anion of cat-
tle, together with the coal, mineral, and agricultural districts to .be
traversed, are considered, it is obvious that the ionstruetiou of this
line will insure to the Corapany a most luerative return for the
capital employed; and that, as an investment, it mast rink ginseng
the most advantageous Of modern undertakings, whilst It will lin-
part advantages of the highest importance, both to England and the
principality. The immense droves of Welsh and Shropshire cattle
will at once be conveyed into the important cattle markols of Derby-
shire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Lincolnshire, NorfOlk,
and Suffolk, whilst, in return, the agricultural produce of these coun-
ties will be sent into the densely-populated localities of Birrainchasn
and Wolverhampton, and the Staffordshire, Shropshire, and Week
ironworks. , • •

The several projected- railways passing from Worcestershire and
lierefordshire in the direction of Chester and Liverpool, will be hu-
Oortant tributaries to the revenue of this line, which will be still
_further augmented by its joining the Grand Junetioa, near to the
,splead Eagle Station, at a short distance from Wolverhampton,
the facilities which will be aff rded to visitors to Matlock, elnd
the, rest of lhe picturesque scenery of Derbyshire, and of North
itßes.and Aberystwith, as well as to travellers via Tlolynad to
and, will still fiirtilcr conduce to the gonerat utility of the project.
