It is proposed to make a tunnel from that point to the Great Western

near to Broseley and Coalbrookdale, will enter the Vale of the E. S. BLUNDELL, Hon. Sec.
' i Severn, which it will traverse to Shrewsbury ; it will thence con-
tinue its route un the course of the Severn, and passing into the Vale
of the River Vyrenvy, will proceed to Llan-y-mynech, Ilanrhaladr,
and Mechnant, accommodating Welchpool, Oswestry, and Llangoilea.
At this point there are three passes, which have been inspected, and
it remains for the engineer to select one as an entrance or passage
into the Vale of the River Dee, when the line will proceed round k:
Corwen into the Vale of the River Alwen, from whence it will run
nearly parallel with the great Holyhead Mail-coach-road, by Pentre-
voelas to Carpel Cerrig, it will then descend the Vale of Nant Frangon
to Bangor and Holyhead.
This line will in its progress-feed, and be also fed by the most consi-
siderable railroads of the kingdom, particularly those of the Great
Western ; the Birmingham, Gloucester, and Bristol; the Oxford,
Worcester, and Wolverhampton ; the London and Birmingham ; and
the South Staffordshire Railway. As this last line will connect
Dudley, Bilston, Wednesisury, Walsall, and Lichfield with the
Derby Railway and the Grand Junction Railway, it would
be superfluous to expatiate on the advantages of bring-
ing . all these important centres of the coal and iron trade and
other traffic, and the vast coal and iron fields of Shropshire
into close intercourse, and thus establishing the cheapest and
quickest means of transit between the minerals of Shropshire and the
furnaces of Staffordshire, and the markets of Dublin, London, and
Birmingham. The success of the undertaking is secured beyond a
doubt, by the obvious fact that it will not only bring the richest
mineral and manufacturing portions of England much nearer to the
two capitals, but it will open for the carriage of the valuable pro-
duce of these districts the intermediate country not at present pos.,
ceased of any direct line of railway communication. On the other
hand, the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Railway will
give to London and the neighbourhood of Birmingham a route to
Dublin shorter by nearly seventy miles than that of any other exist-
ing railroad ; and finally, enable travellers to complete the entire
distance in ten hours.
It will also ensure two mail deliveries in the day.
Up to the point where the line approaches Corwen, no engineering
difficulties are presented. At Corwen a deviation from the strabiht
line may he requisite to avoid tunnelling, after which a straight line
will be resumed to Bangor, where that already he construction will
be adopted for the rest of the route to Holyhead ; or, if found de-
sirable, power will be taken in the Bill to continue an independent
line by Reaumaris to Holyhead.
Atter a careful investigation of the traffic arising from passengers,
the conveyance of mineral and agricultural produce, and the direct
transmission of the mails, the Directors fe I warranted in anticipating
a return of at least ten per cent. on the capital Invested.
A tra sty is in progress with a Steam Navigation Company to run
powerful steamers between the harbours of Holyhead and Kingston
on the arri 'al of the trains, so that passengers and merchandise may
be booked throughout from London to Dublin, including all the inter-
mediate stations, and be thus enabled to complete the entire distance
in ten hours, without the inconvenience so painfully felt of changing
from the conveyance of one proprietary to that of another. The
railways now in active pr gress in Ireland. running from Dublin
north and south throughout the heart of the island, render it self-
evident that the chain of communi. ation between the sister countries
is, by this present undertaking, reedered at once complete
and intimate to the last degree. As the leading aim of
this Company is to save time and distance, every attention of
the Direnters, and every advancement in scienee wil be made
available to gain the inmost passible amount of speed, com-
patible with safety. the lines being formed expressly for this end ;
while, finally, the very lowest rate of fares will he adopted for both
passengers and traffic, and the public will Mid in the improvement ef
the inferior carriages, and some additi nal comforts for those of the
first lass, that the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Rail-
way will be placed in advance of any other now existing, and in all
its details will be rendered worthy an enterprise he national in its
character.
Application will be made for a Bill to incorporate the Company
early in the next session. The usual power will be taken by the Act
to allow interest at 4/. per cent. per a num on the amount of the
subscriptions paid up; and no subscriber will he answerable for more
than the amount of his deposit untll the Act be obtained, and then not
beyond the amount of his subscription.

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 wlirca 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, a. ter several minute exa-
minations of the country through which it will pass, has been brought
forward. .
