BIRMINGHAM, WOLVERHAMPTON, and
STOUR VALLEY RAILWAY.
The course which it is proposed that this line of railway shall take
is along or near the banks of the Birmingham Canal to Wolver-
hampton, with a branch to Dudley.
It is further proposed to carry a line from the above-mentioned
near Smethwick, by way ot Httlesoweo, Cradley, Stourbridge,
an.l Kidderminster, down the whole length of the Valley of the Stour,
to its junction with the Severn.
These lines of railway will afford to the vast population, and
varied produce and manufactures of the districts throtOt which they
will pass, the cheapest and shortest communication with the ports of
London, Hull, and Liverpool, as well as with the large and important
districts occupied by the Midland Railways and the North of
England.
The line from Birmingham to Wolverhampton will form a portion
of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway, with the existing Com-
pany for the formation of which satisfactory arrangements have
been made.

The object of the parties proposing this scheme of railways is to
present to the most important manufacturing interest of South Staf-
fordshire and Worcestershire the greatest facility for the conveyance
of their goods to and along the various trunk railways of the king-
dom at the least possible cost, and no effort will be spared to secure
so desirable a result.

The Birmingham Canal Company and the London and Birmingham
and Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway Companies have con-
curred to furnish the means of effecting this undertaking ; and the
Stourbridge, Dudley, and Birmingham Railway Company, with their
strong local influence, have united their intesests to those of this
Compaiv.
Apdlication will be made to Parliament in the next session for an
Act to effect the above purposes.
Information may be obtained by applying at the office of the Canal
Company in Birmingham, or to
Messrs. INGLEBY, WRAGGE, and COPE, Solicitors,
and Birmingham.
