This line of railway will commence at the junction of the Man-
obester and Birmingham, Cheater and Crewe, and Grand Junction
Railways, at Crewe, in the county of Chester, and proceed from
thence through or near the towns of Market Drayton, Newport, and
Skiffnal, in Shropshire, thence through the flourishing town of Kid-
derminster, to Worcester and Tewkesbury, and to that Bristol Rail-
way at Gloucester. By this means it will form the most direct
route from Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Hull, and Chest to the
important ports of Gloucester aad Bristol, indeed the most direct
line from the north of England to the Bristol Channel. It will also,
