most part composed of the active promoters of the Great Northern

sequence, be given in the allotment of shares (in proportion to the
number held in the Rosamel Company) to parties presenting the
certificates of that Company, and upon signing the proper form of
application, on or before the 18th of October instant.
It is expected that this railway will be soon put up for adjudication,
which renders it necessary to close almost immediately the list of ap-
plications.

SECRETARY--jOhll Trevor, Esq.

This railway will commence at the important town of Wolver-
hampton, proceeding through or near to Seisdon, Trysull, and Cla-
verly, to the manufacturing town of Bridgnorth : from thence it will
continue through a rich agricultural and populous district to Lud-
low, and there fall into other project d lines to all parts of England,
North and South Wales, and Ireland, a distance of about thirty-two

It will afford direct communication between Ludlow, Bridgnorth,
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 She opshire, and also to the towns of Bridgnorth and Ludlow,
coals and the mineral productions of Staffordshire, Worcestershire,
and tho Clee-hills, at nearly one-half the present cast of those neces-
sary 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 fail to produce an
immense traffic.

To the towns embraced in this line, the value of obtaining thereby,
at the cheapest rate, coal and the necessaries of life, will be of the
utmost 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 easistcommunication to and from the central
parts of the kingdom.

It is satisfactory to the promoters to state, that they have the
sanction of the Grand Junction Company, and the co-operation of the
Shrewsburyf Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire Junction, and
the South Staffordshire Junction Companies, and that no project has
been announced In competition with its acknowledged claim on public
suoport.

The whole line is free from engineering difficulties, and can be con-
structed at a moderate cost, and has obtained the approval of the
landed interest, whose ornamental properties have been strictly
protected.
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 ar-
rangements 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 the 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 applications for shares can in any case be attended to, unless
reference be made to one ofthe Provisional Committee, the Solicitors,
Bankers, or Brokers of the Company.

This line of railway commences at Ashfordby, on the Syston and
Peterborough Railway, and proceeds to Loughborough, on the Mid-
land Counties Railway, and thence through' the Vale of Sheepshead
to Peg's Green Colliery, near to the terminus of the Leicester
Swannington Railway,' and thence through the coal-fields of
Swannington and Cole Orton to Ashby-de•la-Zouch. It will then
proceed across to Moira coal field, and through the rich agricultural
districts of Seal, Clifton, Campville, and Edingal.,, to the Birmingham
and Derby Railway, and thence proceed to join the Trent Valley
Railway, thus completing the route to Stafford. At Alrewas it forms
a junction with the South Staffordshire line, by that means reaching
Lichfield.

By the junction with the Trent Valley, and by means of the
North Staffordshire line, it will afford a direct communication with
the Potteries, Newcastle-under-Lyne, Leek, and Macclesfield.
This railway will supply the link in the great chain of central com-
munication, east and west, and has met with great local support.
