chester and Birmingham, Chester and Crewe, and Grand Junction
Railways, at Crewe, in the county of Chester, and proceed tram
thence through or near the towns of Market Drayton, NewpoEtt_ap.o.l.
Skiffnal, in Shropshire, thence through the flourishing t•witoo.t ,
ierminster, to Worcester and Tewkesbury, and to the Bnarist I
direct
Rail-
way at Gloucester. By this means it will form the
and Chester to the
route from Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool,
Channel. It will also,
line from the north of England to the Bristol
Worcester, and in conjunction wtih the proposed Hereford and
form the mist Swan-
sea, Merthyr-Tydvd,
• and Hereford Railways,
districts of South Wales,
advan-
tageous rents from Swansea and the iron
to Liverpool, Manchester, and Null.
and Birmingham Railway at
The line will cress the Shrewisnbeurz
Railway
and the Trent Valley
Important ports of Gloucester and Bristol, iiinuldieeacin the most direct
Shiffnal, and the Shropshire M
town ef Newport. It will form a junction
Union at the thriving to—at Newport, whereby persons and lug-
with the two latter railways
goods from Bristol, Gloucester, Worcester, and
carriage of heavy
lanchester, Liverpool, the whole of the north of
Kidderminster, to h
ill
niand Scotland—will secure a large passenger traffic in the
England, which it passes. A branch will be made from New-
district through
the important town of Wellington.
Port t° ---- railway will be about 87 miles in length, and be-
tweenosed .
The prop
gags may be conveyed to Stafford, Derby, the midland counties,
the two
pre-
sent rapid rate of travelling, in about two hours. This project as a
at least 20 miles, and the journey can be accomplished, at the
junction line, connects itself with some of the most important rail-
ways in the kingdom. It also skirts the large, extensive, and densely-
populated iron districts of Shropshire and Staffordshire, and in its
course passes through a rich agricultural country. It must, there-
Staffordshire Ptoetrteni
fore, be obvious that there will be a sufficient traffie to pay a high
rate of interest on the capital required.
There are no engineering difficulties in the country through which
the line is intended to pass, the whole being nearly on a level, and
on reference to the map of country, taken from the Ordnance survey,
which accompanies the prospectus, the line will appear straight, and
will at the same time show the superior advantages it possesses, and
that it cannot be surpassed by any existing or projected lines between
the same termini.
It will not interfere with any ornamental property, and at tunnel-
ling will be required.
Application is intended to be made, in tlfte ensuing sessi9 of Par-
. _ .. _.

liament, for a direct line of railway (of which a survey has been
made) from Southampton to Kidderminster, and by which a ready
eommunicationwill be afforded to the most southern ports of England.
The liabilities of the Shareholders will be limited to the amount of
their subscriptions, and interest will be allowed on the deposits and
further calls, from the date of the several payments to the opening of
the line.
