The line of Railway intended to be constructed by this Company
will commence at or near Norton Bridge (a station of the Grand
Junction Railway), in the county of Stafford, and proceed from
thence by Eccieshall, Oflley, Norbury, Forton, Newport, Donningten
Wood, Oaken Gates, Priors Lee, Stirchley, Dawley, Madeley, and
Iron Bridge, to Coalbrook-dale ; there, crossing the proposed " Wor-
cester and Crewe Railway," it will pass along the slope of Wenleek-
edge, by Rushbury and Eaton-under-Haywood, to Wistanstow, in
the county of Salop, where it will rim into, and form a junction with
the " Shrewsbury, Hereford, and North Wales Railway."
The line will traverse a rich mineral district, and will have a secure
and extensive traffic by the carriage of coal from the Shropshire
coal-field, to a depot proposed to be formed at Wistanstow, for the
supply of South Shropshire, part of Radnorshire and Herefordshire,
and also from whence it will be conveyed by the " Hereford, Shrews-
bury, and North Wales Railway," into Montgomeryshire and the
neighbouring counties, where coal does not exist. It Is impossible to
calculate the extent to which this traffic may be carried, as by the
'direct railway communication thus opened between the Shropshire
coal-field, and the important manufacturing towns of Newtown
and Llanidloes, the price per ton will be reduced one-half at
those places, and tile flannel manufacturers, now depend-
ing upon water powQr, will, by the cheapness of coal, be
enabled to employ steam, and to extend their trade in proportion to
the great demand which exists for the Welsh flannels, in preference
to any other. The Importance of this subject will have its due weight
with those who so often witness the bad effects upon the trade, caused
by the stoppage of the mills from an Insufficiency of water.
A considerable amount of tonnage is now incurred by the Shrop-
shire ironmasters, for the conveyance of lime-stone from the neigh-
bourhood of Much Wenlock to the furnaces, by several transits of
land and water carriage, whereas the proposed railway will convey
it direct into the heart of the works, and at one-third of the expense.
By its junction with the " Grand Junction" and the "Hereford
and Shrewsbury" Railways, this line will form a direct communica-
tion between Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, York and Hull, and
Swansea and South Wales.

As a junction line alone (connecting as it will such important rail-
ways), a large passenger traffic may be depended upon, but when it
is considered that the centre of the line cascoc thr.no‘ w deelocly-
populalad, .the remainder through a thriving,
agricultural neighbourhood, it will be obvious that a sufficient local
traffic exists to pay a highly remunerative interest on the amount of
capital required to be embarked.
The line, which will not interfere with any property of an orna-
mental or costly character, will not exceed 46 miles in length, and
will be constructed at much less than the average cost.
The co-operation of the principal landowners on the line has been
'lsecured, and no opposition is anticipated or can be sustained against
the measure.

The liability of the Shareholders will be limited, by the Act, to the
amount of their subscription to the capital stock ; and power will be
applied for to allow interest at the rata of four per cent per annum
on the amount of the deposit, and upon the further calls, from the
date of each payment until the opening of the line ; and the first
deposit being paid, a further call will not be made until the Act of
Parliament shall have been obtained.

Maps of the line, prospectuses, &c., are to be obtained from the
Secretary, the solicitors and local agents ; to whom also applications
for Shares (which must be on printed forms) may bd addressed_; and
it will be necessary that reference be made to a banker, solicitor, or
person of responsibility.

JL VILLA, vis-a-vis to his Grace the Duke of Devonshire's
Mansion in Kemp Town. It may be well to observe that the resi-
dence to be let has just arrived at its completion. It has been erected
at an immense expense, under the guidance of a celebrated architect,
and completed by Mr. Reynolds, who has justly acquired so much fame
and celebrity in his erection of the Kensington Park villas at Bays-
water; it is fitted up in the most perfect order throughout, and, for
tact and elegance, the ensemble claims to have no successfhl rival in
Brighton. There is a double coach-house, four-stall stable, and four
convenient rooms for the male portion of the establishment over the
same. The rent, for fourteen or twenty-one years, 250 guineas a
year. It is fitted throughout with elegant massive statuary and other
marble chimney-pieces and corresponding stoves in every room, with
a kitchen apparatus most perfect. The following is a short summary
of what will be conspicuous within :—There are four superior bed
chambers, five smaller ditto, and three dressing-rooms; two noble
drawing-rooms, isga..rooms, with elegant conservatory, balcony, and verandah ;
tgoezxsellent dining parlours, library, lots of closets, and four com-
