SECRETARY—John Trevor, E9(l,

This Railway will commence at the important town of Wolver-
hampton, proceeding through or near to Seisdon, Trysull and
Claverley, to the manufacturing town of Bridgnorth ; from thence
it will continue through a rich agricultural and populous district to
Ludlow, and there fall into other projected lines to all parts of Eng-
land, North and South Wales, and Ireland, a distance of about thirty-
two miles.

.....
It will afford direct communication between Ludlow, Brldgnorth
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, and 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 Shropshire, and also to the towns of Bridgnorth and Ludlow,
coals and the mineral productions of Staffordshire, Worcestershire,
and the Clee Hills, at nearly one-half the present cost of those ne-
cessary articles, and be the means of conveyance for corn, cattle,
sheep, cider, wool, hops and other agricultural productions, as also
timber from the before-mentioned agricultural counties, to the heart
of the mining and manufacturing districts, which cannot fall to pro-
duce an immense traffic. _ _ . . .

.....
To the towns embraced in thir, line, the value of obtaining thereby,
at the cheapest rate, coal and the necessaries of life, will be of the ut-
most 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 easiest communication to and from the cen-
tral parts of the kingdetn.
It 14 satisfactory to the promoters to state that they have the sanc-
tion of the Grand Junction Company, and the co-operation of the
Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton and South Staffordshire Junction, and
the South Staffordshire Junction Companies, and that no project has
been announced in competition with its acknowledgedclaim on public
support.
The whole line is free from engineering difficulties, and can be
constructed at a moderate Cost, and has obtained the approval of the
landed interest, whose ornamental properties have been strictly pro-
tected. _ _ .

----
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 arrange-
ments 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 tile calls.
Preference to the allotment of shares will be given to those locally
interested, and to the shareholders of lines in connexion with this.
No application 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.
Applications for shares, in the usual form, to be made, not later
than the 12th of October, to the respective Solicitors and the follow-
ing Brokers :

The object of this line of Railway is to connect the towns of Faken-
ham, Holt, and Cromer, with the important borough and scapert of
Kings Lynn, and by means of the various projected lines, in that
neighbourhood, to extend the communication to every part of Nor-
forc, Cambridge, Lincolnshire, and the North and West of England, a
connexion which must materially increase the importance of Lynn,
at a time when that successful national undertakirg—" The great
level of the Wasit"—is rapidly progressing towards accomplishment.,
The delightful town of Cromer, which is a favourite resort, will by
means of this railroad become easily accessible not only to the more
Immediate district, but also to the visitors from both the Midland and
Northern Counties, who will thereby be enabled with facility to avail
themselves of its advantages.
The important town of Fakenham, together with Holt, surrounded
by a rich agricultural country, will, by this line, obtain the advantage
not only of general railway conveyance, but also of an intimate con-
nexion with the flourishing ports of Kings Lynn and Wisbeach, places
of considerable importance, from their integral trade and vast experts,
together with the.several places connected with them by means of the
present existing railways.
Incontestable evidence was received by the Parliamentary Com-
mittees daring the last session, that wheat and all other grain was
usually from 2s. to 3s. pdr quarter lower in price In the neighbourhood
of this line than at Norwich—a depreciation which will be completely
obviated by this line of railway—the same effect will equally or even
more strongly appear with respect to all artificial manures, and the
consequent great increase In value of the whole of the land in this
district.

This Line, when formed, will be the nearest road to London, vid
Lynn, by upwards of twenty miles, for all places north of the Line,
and it will be in the immediate proxiraity of, and will afford accom-
modation to, Holkham, liainham, 31e/ton Constable, Houghton, and
Hil'ington.
The promoters think it unnecessary to present any detailed ac-
count of the presumed revenue, as the importance of the communica-
tion, and the extent of the population, must ensure a profitable re-
turn upon the capital to be employed. The country presents no en-
gineering difficulties whatever, on the contrary, it offers unexcep-
tionable gradients. •
The Directors have been fortunate in securing the services of a
most competent and thoroughly practical Engineer, who will person-
ally devote his energies to the completion of the undertaking.
The surveys are proceeding with, mid the necessary steps have
been taken to secure a Bill in the 'ensuing session, as well as to limit
the liability of the Shareholders to the amount of their Shares, and
to insure an allowance of U. per cent. interest upon the Deposits,
until the opening of the line.
A very powerful Local and General Committee will be shortly ad-
vertised ; in the meantime applications for Shares are to be made to
the Secretary, at the temporary Offices of the Company, or to Mr.
Wm. Wilde, Norivich ; or to the following Sharebrokers Messrs.
Sutton, Gribble, and Sutton, Royal Exchange ; Mr. 11. J. bolding,
