The Committee of Management, in acquainting their Shareholders
that the necessary preparations are being made to prosecute this un-
dertaking in the next session of Parliament, have also the satisfaction
of stating, that while considerable engineering improvements will be
made in the line, the main features which obtained for it the favour-
able report of the Board of Trade, will be preserved. The Committee
are in negotiation with the London and Birmingham Railway Com-
pany and the Birmingham Canal Company, for the construction of
the portion of the main line from Birmingham to Wolverhampton, on
the banks of the Canal, the result of which will be advantageous to
the shareholders in the saving of cost and distance on this portion of
the line; the whole line will also be constructed with the additional
assistance and superintendence of Mr. R. Stephenson.
The Committee have also determined upon the construction of a
branch from the main line to the mining district of Coaibrook Dale,
in connexion with other projected railways, and also in extending the
main line from Shrewsbury to join- a railway which has been pro.
jetted by the Shrewsbury, Oswestry, and Chester Compay, to Welsh-
pool and Newtown. Full powers will be taken in the new Parlia-
mentary contract and subscribers' agreement for these purposes, and
to undertake other branches and extensions, which the Committee
have in contemplation, with a view to ensure a profitable return to
the proprietors.
The subscribers' agreement and contract, requisite for complying
with the Standing Orders of Parliament in the next session, will lie
for signature at the Company's office, from Monday, the 7th of July,
until Saturday, the 19th, after which they will be transmitted to the
Company's agents in the country.
The Committee are happy to be able to state that the local interest
in favour of this railway continues unabated ; and, as far as they can
at present form a judgment, they are satisfied that no further de-
posit will be required for prosecuting the Bill in the next session of
Parliament.
