In submitting this undertiking to the public, the promoters—a
numerous and highly influential class—have been influenced no less
by the general facilities pre-ented 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 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 ine of 19 or 20
miles only will he required ; communicating with the Trent Valley
RallWay at Lichfield, and uniting with the Shrewsbury, Wolverhamp-
ton Dudley and Birmingham, or Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and
South Staffordshire Junction Railways, at Shiffnal.
It is a remarkable fact that Shrewsbury, the outlet of North
Wales, has been hitherto altogether disregarded in the range of ex-
isting railways, particularly towards the east, the nearest being at
the distance of 20 miles.

The town of Shrewsbury, now 95 miles from Leicester by road
and railway, will, by means of this and the other projected lines, be
brought within 65 miles.

When the ordinary passenger traffic, and the vast transit of 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 must 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 be conveyed into the important cattle markels of Derby-
shire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk,
and Suffolk, whilst, in return, the agricultural produce of those coun-
ties will be sent into the densely-populated localities of Birmingham
and 'Wolverhampton, and the Staffordshire, .;hropshire, and Weish
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 au4mented by its jointly: the Orand Junction, near to the
Spread Earle Station. at a short distance from Wolverhampton.
The facilities which will be tiff rdrd to visitors to Matlocli, and
the rest of the picturesque scenery of Derbyshire, and of North
Wales and Abrystwith, as well as to travellers via Holyhead to
Ireland, will still further conduce to the genera' utility cf the project.
