The line of Railway intended to be constructed by this Confpa n 9
will commence at or near Norton Bridge (a station of the Gr.l.nd
Junction Railway), in the county of Stafford, and proceed front
thence by Eccleshall, Offley, Norbury, Forton, Newport, Donnington
Wood, Oaken Gates, FriorS Lee, Stitchley, Hawley, Madeley, and
Iron Bridge, to Coalbrook-dale e there, crossing the proposed " Wor-
cester and Crewe Railway," it 'will pass along the slope of Wen coda
edge, by Rushbury and Eaton-under-Haywood, to Wiserseoe

the county of Salop, where it will run into, and foriTweayj,, ti
the " Shrewsbury, Hereford, and Ish.'rrh W

and to extend their trade in proportion to
upon water power, will, by the cheapness of coal, be
enabled to employ steam,
the great demand which exists for the Welsh flannels, in preference
to any other. The importance of this subject will have its due weight
with those who so often witness the bad effects upon the trade, Ceused
by the stoppage of the mills ftom an insufficiency of water.

land and water carriage, whereas the proposed railway will convey
it direct into the heart of the works, and at one-third of the expense.
By its junction with the " Grand Junction" and. the " Hereford
and Shrewsbury" Railways, this line will form a direct communlea•
Hon between Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, York and Hull, and
Swansea and South Wales. . .

As a junction line alone (connecting as it will such important rail=
ways), a large passenger traffic may be depended upon, but when it
is consideZtd that the centre of the line passes through a densely-
populated mining district, and the remainder through a thriving
agricultural neighbourhood, it will be obvious that a sufficient local
traffic exists to pay a highly remunerative interest on the amount of
capital required to be embarked.
The line, which will not interfere with any propeity of an! orna
mental or costly character, will -het exceed 46 mites in length, and
will be constructed at much less than the average cost.
Such important local co-operation has been secured, that no.oppo-
salon is anticipated or can be sustained against the measure. •
The liability of the Shareholders wt,! be limited, by the Act, to the
-amount of their subscription to the capital stock ; and power will be
applied for to allow interest at the rate of four per cent. per annum
on the amount of the deposit, and upon :the further calls, from 0.4
. Ott of each payment until the opening of the line ; -and"- the tirst
deposit being paid, a further call will not be made until the Act e
Parliament shall tave been obtained. .
