SECILETART—John Trevor, Esq.
This Railway will commence at the important town of Wolver-
hampton, proceeding through or near to Seisdon, Trysail and
Cleverley, to the manufacturing town of Bridgnorth ; from thence
it will continue through a rich agricultural and populous district to
Ludlow, and there fall into other projected lines to all parts of Eng-
land, North and South Wales, and Ireland, a distance of about thirty-
two miles.
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
ant 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 Shropshire, and also to the towns of Bridgnorth and Ludlow,
coals and the mineral productions of Staffordshire, Worcestershire,
add the Clee Hills, at nearly one-half the present cost of those ne-
cessary 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 pro-
duce 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 ut-
most 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 easiest communication to and from the cen-
tral parts of the kingdom.
It is satisfactory to the promoters to state that they have the sanc-
tion of the Grand Junction Company, and the co-operation of the
Shrewsbury. Wolverhampton and South Staffordshire Junction, and
the South Staffordshire Junction Companies, and that no project has
been announced in competition with its acknowledgedclaim on public
support.
The whole Ene is free from engineering difficulties, and can be
constructed at a moderate cost, and has obtained the approval of the
landed interest, whose ornamental properties have been strictly pro-
tected.
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 arrange-
ments 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 application for shares can in any case be attended to, unless
reference be made to one of the Provisional Committee, the Solicitors,
Bankers, or Brokers of the Company.

therly direction, proceed through the counties ofClare, Galway, Mayo,
and Sligo, terminating at Sligo, by a junction with the Sligo and Ennis-
killen Railway, and accommodating on its route the important cities and
towns of Limerick, Ennis, Gort, Loughrea, Athenry, Monivea, Tuam,
Ballinrobe, Castlebar, Westport, Foxford, Ballina, Kilalla, Swineford,
Streamstown, and Sligo, which town being connected with the north,

derry, Coleraine, Belfast, Armagh, Newry, Dundalk, Drogheda,
Dublin, Wicklow, Wexford, Waterford, Cork, Killarney, Valeutia,
Trace, and Limerick, the establishment of this line will cause Ire-
land to present a completeness of locomotive communication which
no other country in the world enjoys.

This railway will commence at Sheerness in conjunction with a
short steam-ferry communication from a point at or near to South-
end, on the opposite Essex coast, and wi'l proceed from Sheerness
by Queenborough to Faversham, where it will form a junction with
one of the proposed tines front London by that town to Canterbury
and Dover.
The integral I:ne will bo continued from Faversham to or near to
Herne Bay,; and from thence to the South-Eastern Extension
Railway (now being made), at a point near Sarr, and will then pro-
ceed on that line direct to Ramsgate eastwards, and direct to Peal
south-eastwards. From a point between Herne Bay and Sarr the
line will also be carried by a short extens'ort to Margate.
By this project Margate will ba placed within 75 miles of the me-
tropolis, instead Or more than 100, as at present, and that too by a
direct line through Faversham, at which place it will meet the Lon-
don lines.
The important town of Ramsgate, now so extensively connected
with continental communication, will also be thus afforded a much
nearer overland route to London.
By means also of this undertaking, in conjunction with the exist-
ing and projected railways proceeding to the south coast of Essex,
the whole of the passengers and traffic from the Northern, the-Mid-
inshinfluiptcz.g.m.Counties, will be conveyed to Dover and the
cuitous route through the metroicoti"47lfl;kl,l)., lengthened and cir-
shortened more than 50 miles, travelling expenses eiiTflilff...Will_be
and the serious inconvenience and delay of transhipsment and con-
veyance from one part of London to another wholly avoided.
A glance at the map also will show the immense advantage which
the metropolis itself will enjoy by its being thus afforded other routes
to Sheerness, Mar_ ate, Ramsgate, Deal, and Dover, and the greater
part of Kent. Thousands of persons will proceed direct from the me-
tropolis to Margate and Ramsgate throughout, whilst a multitude of
others will prefer landing at Sheerness and then proceed by this rail-
way, thereby shortening the j ,urney and avoiding the sea.
The importance of a direct line from Sheerness to Dover as a
national object, and the immense existing traffic in the direction of
the undertaking, with the great increase which the improved and
enlarged modes of a communication throughout Kent will occasion,
must be too apparent to need further observation; and the Commit-
tee from careful inquiry feel confidence in stating that no scheme ot
railway has yet been offered to public attention combining greater
public and private advantages.
About thirty-six miles of new railway only will embrace all the
above important objects—viz., from Sheerness to Faversham
about .• • ....... ••• • ..
Faversham to Herne Bay ...................... 10
Thence to Sarr .... ........................... 5
The extension to Margate „ ...... „........... 9

The country has already been preliminatir surveyed, and found to
'be exceedingly favourable. Indeed, it is almost a dead flat from
Faversham to Margate.
The landed proprietors are not only willing but desirous that the
undertaking should be accomplished, and it is at the request of many
of them that the promoters have projected it.
The Committee reserve the power of making branches to Canter-
bury and to Deal, if circumstances shoul I hereafter render it ad-
visable.
Applications for prospectuses, maps, and shares (in the usual form)
may be made to the Solicitors er Secretary, at the temporary offices.
