This important line, the only one having for its object tie direct
communication between south Wales, Birmingham, the midland
.counties, Liverpool; Manchester, and the north, will commence at
Hereford, and passing to the vale of the Severn, via Bewdley, Brldg-
north, Broseley, Iron-bridge and* Colebrook-dale, take a direct
route through or near Wellington and Market Drayton to Crewe, or
to Runcorn, whence the existing lines will continue the traffic to
Liverpool, Manchester, and the north. At Bewdley there will be a
branch line through Kidderminster to Birmingham and the midland

counties.
Reference to the•map will show that three projected railways con-
verge at Hereford, viz.:—The South Wales line from the coast, at
Newport, via Monmouth; the Bristol and Liverpool Junction from
Bristol, over the Severn ; and the Great Eastern and Western, from
Swansea, by way of Merthyr and Abergavenny. This grand trunk
will, therefore, connect with the north and central portions of the
kingdom, by the nearest practicable route, Bristol, the west of Eng-
land, and the whole of South Wales, containing a vast population
and extensive iron, copper,•tin plate, and coal works, numerous and
important ports, including Milford Haven, and the Government dock-
yard, and concentrate to itself the great passenger and goods traffic
now conveyed by various cirduitous routes to and fro.
This line, too, will unite the iron districts of South 'Wales with those
of Staffordshire and Shropshire.
Apart from the ordinary incentives to travelling, the beautiful
scenery of South' Wales and the 'various watering places will add con-
siderably to the passenger traffic on this line.
A more than usual revenue may be calculated open in the goods
traffic, arising froth the extensive connexion existing between South
Wales and the important termini, conveying, as this communicattos
will, the various productions' of iron, copper, coal, tin plates, &c.,
the north, and woollens, cottons, salt, hardware, pottery ware.
cattle, and agricultural produce, required for the several counties, dis-
tricts, and towns, accommodated by this line, westward, with the
advantage of delivery in a few hours, free from the risk and delays of
a sea voyage, and at one-third the distance.
The conveyance of coats to the counties through which these lines
run will also be a means of considerable and increasing revenue,
whilst whilst the supplies to the barren districts of the iron works ofilo '-
cultural produce will add to the profit as well as unite by ties o mu
tual interest the agricultural and commercial community
By means of this projection, portions of the kingdom not so pro-
vived by any other scheme, wilt pluticipate in the advantages of rail-
way communication, and it will also form hereafter, with other rail-
ways about to be commenced, the nearest route to London for a very
extensive portion of the country.
Founded oil the principles of direct and comprehensive communi-
cation with distant parts of the kingdom, this line will be the most
complete in the empire, and, carried as it can and will be in almost a
straight line, must thus secure itself for the future against the com-
petition of any rival projection.
At the same time every regard has been had to local accommoda-
tion, and the closest scrutiny will convince these who know the
wants and requirements of the towns and districts embraoed within
its scope that this has been most amply provided for.
Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained the affairs of the Corr
