The object of this railway is to connect, in the most direct course,
the important and increasing manufacturing town of Leeds with the
Metropolis, the want of which has long been felt, and is too univer-
sally acknowledged to need any comment, and it is under this con-
viction that this important undertaking, after several minute exa-
minations of the country through which it will pass, has been brought
forward.

The proposed line will commence at the junction of the Manche •
ter and Leeds, and York and North Midland Railways, near Wake•
field, and will terminate by means of a junction with the Eastern
Counties Railway at Bedford (to which place it is the intention of
that Company to extend their line in the ensuing session of Parlia-
ment), and by thus availing itself as far as possible of the existing
railways, will complete the most direct and least expensive trunk
line, from London to Leeds, York, and Hull. It will pass in its route
within an available distance of Wakefield, Pontefract, Doncaster,
Rotherham, East Redford, Nottingham, Newark, Grantham, Melton
Mowbray, Oakham, and Stamford.
The importance of such a line is obvious, both from the nature of
its course (embracing, as it does, a most extensive population within'
its limits) as also from the absence of any direct communication for
the conveyance of passengers and merchandise.
By the construction of this railway, railway communication to
London will be given to Peterborough and Leicester (by means of
the Syston and Peterborough Railway), to Newark and Nottingham
(by the Nottingham and Lincoln line), and to Sheffield and Gainsbo-
rough (by the Sheffield and Gainsborough line), by a much shorter
route than by any existing Railways.
Independently of the advantages offered to the towns in the several
counties through which this Line will pass, the Line in itself consi-
dered as a direct trunk line between London and Leeds, is sufficient
to justify its formation, it being well known that the existing traffic
between these two places would produce such a return on the capital
required, as to admit of a dividend, equal to that of any railway in
operation : but when it is borne in mind, that a Company is being
formed for the purpose of connecting Glasgow with Leeds by means of
a junction with the York and Carlisle Railway, no better line can be
presented to the public, as it will not only effect a direct communica-
tion from Glasgow and the Western parts of Scotland to Londen, but
would also connect Edinburgh and the Eastern parts of Scotland as
well as Durham and Newcastle (by the York and North Midland, and
Great North of England Railways), with the Metropolis; which would
be considerably shorter than the accommodation offered by any
other Company, and when cost of construction is considered, there
cannot bee doubt but that preference would be given to the Great
Leeds and London Direct Railway.
The fact of the Eastern Counties Railway being connected by a
branch line with the East and West India Docks on the river
Thames, and the Railway Company having recently leased for 999
years the extensive pepper warehouses belonging to those docks,
which are capable of receiving 12,000 tons of goods, together with
wharfs adjoining, where the shipment and trans-shipment of goods
from all parts of the world can take place, is a most important fea-
ture in favour of the direct comntunication from the manufactunriong
towns of Glasgow and Leeds offered by the Great Leeds atnrdun n.
Direct Railway, and by branch railways to the nruifna,

The geographical posiiion of Worcester has caused its adoption as
the point where the broad guage trunk lines of the west are to have a
common terminus. From Oxford the Great Western Company have
lecided on constructing a line of rail :—another project under the pa-
tronage of the same powerful direction is now before the public,
uniting Worcester with Warwick ; and, that the broad gauge will be
carried from Worcester into Wales, and to the Irish packet stations
on that coast, is now no longer doubtful. This undertaking will com-
plete a series of great avenues of iron-road, whose ramification
from Worcester will render every part of the kingdom directly
accessible from that city. Passing up the Severn Vale, where
it will disclose a succession of picturesque scenes, it reaches
Stourport, and proceeding thence through Kidderminster, arrives at
Bewdley. This district is one of the chief seats of our carpet manu-
factures, and in the towns here named, exclusive of the intervening
districts, upwards of 30,000 persons are located. Leaving Stourbridge
a little to the east, the line is taken to Bridgenorth, a town enjoying
an active inland trade, and possessing woollen manufactures and iron
works, that give employment to a population of about 15,000. Pass-
ing through or near to Much Wenlock, Broseley, and Madeley, from
which place there will be a branch to Shrewsbury, the line ascends
Colebrook Dale, and approaching in its course Wellington and Wem.
enters Whitchurch. From this central place a branch will be formed
to Norwich via Stoke, forming a junction with the Liverpool and
Crewe Railway. The trunk line will continue from Whitchurch, and
passing through or near Malpas, have its northern terminus in the
city of Chester.
In estimating the probable amount of revenue which the Worces-
ter and Chester Railway may be expected to yield, many sources of
profit present themselves, such are the dense population located along
the length of the Severn Vale, and the enriching works of industry
in which they are engaged. Amongst the latter may be mentioned
the China manufactories of 'Worcester , the iron, coal, and earthen-
ware works at Broseley and other places ; the agricultural produce
brought to Stourport market ; the inexhaustible fields of coal and
mines of iron ore in the vicinity of Colebrook Dale, Ironbridge, and
the districts to the east of Shrewsbury generally.
In calculating the cost of construction unusual advantages are also
obvious. The line traverses a district affording levels of several
miles in extent, and with a surface peculiarly favourable. The resi-
dent population, disappointed by the postponement of promised pro-
jects,
have warmly espoused the present, and the labouring popula-
tion being familiar with mining operations, will be found better
qualified for the execution of railway works here than in many other
localities.
As a link in the railway network of England, or as auxiliary
to existing or projected lines passing in various directions, few
schemes hitherto proposed appear to afford greater Inducementd
