of their project which extends from Ludlow to Newtown, the Direc-
tors of the Shropshire Mineral Railway have determined to make a
slight deviation from their originally proposed line, and to carry their
western terminus to the Craven Arms, when it will run into and
form a junction with the Great Western and Port Dynllaen line of
railway, still reserving the power of going to Wistanston, if found
advisable. The capital will be increased to 850,0001., and the num-
ber of shares to 42,500 ; and notice is hereby given that applications
for shares will not be received after Monday, the 29th instant.
