This line of railway will commence at the junction of the Man-
chester aid Birmingham, Chester and Crewe, and Grand Junction
Railways, at Crewe, in the county, of Chester, and proceed from
thence through or near the towns of Market Drayton, Newport, and
tkiffnal, in Shropshire, thence through the flourishing town of Kid-
derminster, to Worcester and Tewkesbury, and' ti the Bristol Rail-
way at Gloucester. By this means it will form the most direct
route from Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Hull, and Chester to the
important ports of Gloucester and Bristol, indeed the most direct
line from the north of England to the Bristol Channel. It will also,
in conjunction wtih the proposed Hereford and Worcester, and Swan-
sea, Merthyr-Tydvil, and Hereford Railways, form the meet advan-
tageous route from Swansea and the iron districts of South Wales,
to Liverpool, Manchester, and Hull.
The line will cross the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway at
Shiffnal, and the Shropshire Mineral Railway and. the Trent Valley
Union at the thriving town of Newport. It will form a junction
with the two latter railways at Newport, whereby persons and lug-
gage may be conveyed to Stafford, Derby, the midland counties,
Staffordshire otteries, Sheffield, and Hull ; and, in addition to the
carriage of heavy goods from Bristol, Gloucester, Worcester, and
Kidderminster, to Manchester, Liverpool, the whole of the north of
England, a ad Scotland—will secure a large passenger traffic in the
district through which it passes. A branch will be made from New-
port to the ;important town of Wellington.
The proposed railway will be about 87 miles in length, and be-
tween the tv to termini of Crewe and Gloucester, will save in distance
at least 20 m Iles, and the journey can be accomplished, at the pre-
sent rapid rate of travelling, in about two hours. This project as a
junction line, connects itself with some of the most important rail-
ways in the li.higdoin. It also skirts the large, extensive, and densely-
populated in n i districts of Shropshire and Staffordshire, and in its
course passes. through a rich agricultural country. It must, there-
fore, be ebvl ous that there will be a sufficient traffic to pay a high
rate of intei'e st on the capital required.
There are no engineering difficulties in the country through which
the line is inttended to pass, the whole being nearly on a level, and
on reference, to the map of country, taken from the Ordnance survey,
which accom panics the prospectus, the line will apptar straight, and
will at the us me time show the superior advantages it possesses, and
that it c,ann tbe surpassed by any existing or projected lines between
the same tor, mini.

It will not: interfere with any ornamental property, and as tunnel-
ling will be 3quired.
Applicattoa . is intended to be made, in the ensuing session of Par-
liament, for a direct line of railway (of which a survey has becu
made) ffom Southampton to Kiddermin:ter, and by which a ready
communi cat; kin will he afforded to the most southern ports of England.

The Habil' ties of the Shareholders will be limited to the amount of
their subscrii tions, and interest will be allowed on the deposits and
further calls, from the date of the several payments to the opening of
the line.
