SECRETART—John Trevor, Esq.

This railway will commence at the important town of Wolver-
hampton, proceeding through or near to Seisdon, T,Tsull, and Cle-
verly, to the manufacturing town of Brtdgnorth : from tl'ence it will
continue through a rich agricultural and populous district to Lud-
low, and there fall into other projected lines to all parts of England,
North and South Wales, and Ireland, a distance of about thirty-two
miles.
It will afford direct communication between Ludlow, Bridgnorth,
and Wolverhampton, Dudley, &c. ; and, by the South Staffordshire
Junction Railway give to those towns and districts the most direct
route for passengers and goods to and from the Central, North
Eastern, and Eastern parts of the Kingdom, aud from which those
towns have hitherto been excluded by every project of the day.
It will convey to the agricultural districts of Herefordshire and
South Shiopahire, and also to the towns of Bridgnorth and Ludlow,
coals and the mineral productions of Staffordshire, Worcestershire.
ant the Clee-hills, at nearly one-half the present cost of those neces-
sary articles, and be the means of conveyance for cons, cattle, sheep,
cider, wool, hops, and other agricultural productions, as also Umbel•
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 easistsommunication to and from the central
parts of the kingdom.
It is satisfactory to the promoters to state, that they have 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 on public
auoport.
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 Management, who are hereby empowered to enter into such ar-
rangements as shall best serve the interests of this Company and the
public, with existing or projected companies, and also to nominate
the first directors 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 gi%en to those locally
interested, and to the shareholders of lines in connexion with this.
No applications for shares can in any case be attended to, unless
reference be made to one of the Provisional Committee, the Solicitors,
Bankers, or Brokers of the Company.
