London, England, 1845-10-14 00:00:00

central and accessible terminus in London, and Farringdon-street has
bean Ixed upon for that purpose.
It is proposed to make a tunnel from that point to the Great Western
station, from whence the line will be continued in as direct a course as
poss.ble to I tolyhead
In its pr,gress it will pass through or near to the following towns :
—Riekinanswerth, Chesham, Wendover, and AyleL:tatry ; it will then
proceed to within a short distance of Ilicester anti Deddington, and
from thence to Banbury; it will touch upon Kineton or Kingtown,
thence proceed onward to Stratford-on-Avon, approach within a
short distance of Warwick, Alcester, and Worcester, where it will
cross the Birmingham and Gloucester Railroad near to Uromsgrove,
and proceeding thence to Kidderminster, Bridgnorth, and Wenlock,
near to Broseley and Coalbrookdale, will enter the Vale of the
Severn, which it will traverse to Shrewsbury; it will thence con-
tinue its route up the course of the Severn, and passing into the Vale
of the Elver Vyruwy, will proceed to Llan-y-mynech, Llaurhaladr,
and alschnant, accommodating Welchpool, Oswestry, and Llaugollex.
At this point there are three passes, which have been inspected, and
it remains for the engineer to select one as an entrance or passage
into the Vale of the River Dee, when the line will proceed round by
Corwen into the Vale of the River Aiwen, from whence it will run
nearly parallel with the great Holyhead Mail-coach-road, by Pentre-
yoelas to Capel Cerrig, it will then descend the Vale of Nant Francon
to Bangor and Holyhead.
This line will in its progress feed, and be also fed by the most consi-
siderable railroads of the kingdom, particularly those of the Great
Western ; the Birmingham, Gloucester, and Bristol; the Oxford,
Worcester, and Wolverhampton ; the London and Birmingham ; and
the South Staffordshire Railway. As this last line will connect
Dudley, Bilston, Wednesbucy, Walsall, and Lichfield with the
Derby Railway and the Grand Junction Railway, it would
be superfluous to expatiate on the advantages of bring-

log all those important centres of the coal and iron trade and
other traffic, and the ♦ast coal and iron fields of Shropshire
Into close intercourse, and thus establishing the cheapest and
quickest means of transit between tke minerals of Shropshire and the
furnaces of Staffordshire, and the markets of Dublin, London, and
Birmingham. The success of the undertaking is secured beyond a
doubt, by the ob►ious fact that it will not only bring the richest
mineral and manufacturing portions of England much nearer to the
two capitals, but it will open for the carriage of the valuable pro-
duce of these districts the Intermediate country not at present pos-
sessed of any direct line of railway communication. On the other
hand, the Grand London and Dublin Approximation hallway will
g've to London and the neighbourhood of Birmingham a route to
Dublin shorter by nearly seventy miles than that of any other exist-
ing railroad ; and finally, enable travellers to complete the entire
distance in ten hours.
It will also ensure two mail deliveries in the day. . .

Vpicrt7;p;lY;l;;r; the line approaches Corwen, no engineering
difficulties are presented. At Corwen a deviation from the straight
line may be requisite to avoid tunnelling, after which a straight line
will be resumed to Bangor, where that already is construction will
bo adopted for the rest of the route to Holy-head ; or, if found de-
sirable, power will be taken in the Bill to continue an independent
line by Beaumaris to Holyhead.
Atter a ()ireful investigation of the traffic arising from passengers,
the conveyance of mineral and agricultural produce, and the direct
transmission of the mails, the Directors fe. I warranted in anticipating
a return of at least ten per cent. on the capital invested.
A treaty is in progress with a Steam Navigation Company to run
powerful steamers between the harbours of Holyhead and Kingston
on the arrival of the trains, so that passengers and merchandise may
be booked throughout from London to Dublin, including all the inter-
mediate stations, and be thus enabled to complete the entire distance
in ten hours, without the Inconvenience so painfully felt of changing
from the conveyance of one proprietwy to that of another. The
railways now in active pr,gress in Ireland, running from Dublin
north and south throughout the heart of the island, render• it self-
evident that the chain of communication between the sister countries

is, by this present undertaking, rendered at once eomplete
and intimate to the last degree. As the leading aim of
this Company is to sate time and distance, every attention of
the Directors, and every advancement in science wil be made
available to gain the utmost possible amount of speed, com-
patible with safety, the lines being formed expressly for this end ;
while, finally, the very lowest rate of fares will be adopted for both
passengers and traffic, and the public will and in the improvement of
the inferior carriages, and some additi,nal comforts for those of the
first class, that the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Rail-
way will be placed in advance of any other now existing, and in all
its details will be rendered worthy an enterprise so national in its
character.

Application will be made for a Bill to incorporate the Company
early in the next session. The usual power will lee taken by the Act
to allow interest at 4/. per cent. per a num on the amount of the
subwriptions paid ep ; and no subscriber will be answerable for more
than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then not
beyond the amount of his subscription.
