SOUTH NIL'LAND AND NORTH UNION
RAILWAY

(Provisionally Registered.)
This important line of railway is intended to open a direct commu-
nication from Staffordshire and the Midland Counties (passing through
the Potteries) to the extensive manufacturing town of Sheffield, by
means of which it will form the most direct transit for traffic, and
the manufactures of all the principal towns, and the agrcultural and
mineral produce of the conntry contained within its range.
The principal object of this railway is, that it will bring the prin-
cipality of Wales into immediate connexion with the Midland Coun-
ties, and will form a continuous trunk line from the north-east to
the south-west parts of the kingdom.

To the capitalist this undertaking presents a highly beneficial
source of remunerative profit, and to the population of the s4"h"
west midland and northern portions of the kingdom most important
advantages.

the Cheltenham and Oxford line, form the most direct route to South
Wales, Waterford, and the south of Ireland, as well as lay the Ox-
ford, Worcester, and Wcilverhampton line to Worcester, and conse-
quently to all the central portion of Wales, thus forming the shortest
route to all Wales and Ireland.
