The line of Railway intended to be constructed by this Company
will commence at or near Norton Bridge (a station of the Grand
Junction Railway), in the county of Stafford, and proceed from
thence by Eccieshall, Oftley, Norbury, Forton, Newport, Dormington
Wood, Oaken Gates, Priors Lee, Stirchley, Bewley, 31adeley, 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
tits " Shrewsbury, Hereford, and North Wales Railway."
The line will traverse a rich mineral district, and will have a secure
and extensive traffic by the carriage of coal from the Shropshire
coal-field, to a depbt proposed to be formed at Wistanstow, for the
supply of South Shropshire, part of Radnorshire and Herefordshire,
and also from whence it will be conveyed by the "Hereford, Shrews-
bury, and North Wales Railway," into Montgomeryshire and the
neighbouring counties, where coal does not exist. It is impossible to
calculate.the extent to which this traffic may be carried, as by the
direct railway communication thus opened between the Shropshire
coal-fleld, and the important manufacturing towns of Newtown
and Llanidloes, the price per ton will be reduced one-half at
water Power,
thou places, and the flannel manufacturers, now depend-
ing upon will, by the cheapness of coal, be
enabled'to employ steam, and to extend their trade in proportion to
the great demand which exists for the Welsh flannels, Endueerence
to any other. The importance of this subject will have ita
weight
with those who so often witness the bad effects upon the trade, caused
by the stoppage of the mills from an insufficiency of water.
A-considerable amount of tonnage is now incurred by the Shrop-
ship jrpnmasters,f or the conveyance of lime-stone from the neigh-
bourhood gpch Wenlock to' the furnaces, by several transits of
lima and water caralazte, whereas the proposed railway will convey
it direct into the heart of the h+Hfl:P and at one-third of the expense.
By its junction with the " Grand*June,iiii,-i" and the " Hereford
and Shrewsbury" Railways, this line will forin a 4(1;4. gapimunica-
