advan-
tages which this Railway offers. - The projected .` South Union Rail-
way," front Manchester, joins or falls into the Trent Valley Railway
just below Lichfield, and, proceeding along the Trent Valley Line,
via Tamworth and Rugby, will form the shortest and most direct
route from Manchester to Landon, but will leave Birmingham on the
west, which can only be reached by the circuitous route through
Tamworth, a distance of twenty-five miles.
The proposed Birmingham anti Lichfield Railway will effect an ex-
tension of the South Union, North Staffordshire, and other projected
Railways, from Lichfield in a direct Line to Birmingham, and thus.
save no less than nine miles in the twenty-five, and constitute the
shortest and best line between Manchester and Birmingham yet de-
vised.
As to the returns to be expeeted for the capital embarked, it is
