To effect this desideratum, the formation of a new line of 19 or 20
communicating with the Trent Talley
with the Shrewsbury, Wolverhamp-
iorg Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and
RmailileswaoynlyatwLiilelhbfleo required;d, and
tin
ton Dudley and Birmingham,
South Staffordshire Junction Railways, at Shiffnal.
It is a remarkable fact that Shrewsbury, the outlet of North
Wales, has been hitherto altogether disregarded in the range Of ex-
isting railways, particularly towards the east, the nearest being at
the distance of 28 miles.
The town of Shrewsbury, now 95 miles from Leicester by road
and railway, will, by means of this and the ether projected lines, be
brought within 65 miles.
When the ordinary passenger traffic, and the vast transit of cat-
tle, together with the coal, mineral, and airicultural diked. to be
traversed, are considered, it is obvious that the sonstraction of this
line will insure to the Company a most lucrative return for the
capitsl employed ; and that, as an investment, it mist rank among
the most advantageous of modern undertakings, whilst it will im-
part advantages of the highest importance, both to England and the
principality. The immense droves of Welsh and Shropshire cattle
will at once be conveyed into the important cattle mark,* of Derby-
shire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Lincolnshire, Noriblk,
and Suffolk, whilst,ln return, the agricultural produce of those coun-
ties Will be sent into the densely-populated localities of Dirininschatu
and Wolverhampton, and the Staffordshire, Shropshire, and Welsh
ironworks.

The several projected railways passing from Worcestershire and
Herefordshire in the direction of Chester and Liverpool, will be im-
portant tributaries to the revenue of this line, which will be still
further augmented by its joining the Grand Junction, near to. the
Spread Eagle Station, at a short distance from Wolverhampton. -
The facilities which will be aff rded to visitors to Matlock, and
the rest of the picturesque scenery of Derbyshire, and of lietth
Wales and Abery4with, as well as to travellers via Holyhead to
Ireland, will still further conduce to the generat utility of the project.
