In submitting this undertaking to the pablic, the ptemetera—e
numerous and highly influential class—have been influenced ne les,
by the general facilities presented for its construction, by the fa-
vourable character of the country through which it is intended to
pass, than by the conviction of its great local and general import-
ance as a direct connectlnr; line between North and South Wales,
Shrewsbury, /Lichfield, Tamworth, Derby, and Leicester, and the
Midland and Eastern Counties generally.
To effect this desideratum, the formation of a new 1 ins of 11 or 20
miles only will be required ; communicating with the Trent Valley
Railway at Lichfield, and uniting with the Shrewsbury,
Shrewsbury,Wolverhamp-
ton Wolverhampton, and
at Shrewsbury, the outlet of North

Wales, has been hitherto altogether disregarde thdine
nearestthe range
iewofingexat-
isting railways, particularly towards the east,
the distance of 28 miles.
The town of Shrewsbury, now 95 miles from Leteester by toad
and railway, will, by means of this and the other projeeted lime, be
brought within 65 miles.
When the ordinary passenger traffic, and the vast trait et cat-
tle, together with the coal, mineral, and agricultural districts to be
traversed, are considered, it is obvious that the construction of this
line will insure to the Company a most lucrative return for the
capital employed ; and that, as an investment, it mad 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 he conveyed into the important cattle markets of Derby-
shire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk..
and Suffolk, whilst, in return, the agricultural produce of those coon-
ties will be sent into the densely-populated localities of Birmingham
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 faculties which will be afforded to visitors to Matlock, and
the rest of the picturesque scenery of Derbyshire, and of Werth
Wales and Iberystwith, as well as to travellers via Holyhead to
Ireland, will still further conduce to the generat utility of the project.
