HIS'

Company was originally projecteifunder the title of
"The Great Irish Railway Company," with the view of
carrying a line of Railway from Wolves hampton to Shrewsbury,
and from thence through North Wales, to Holyhead or Port-
dynllaen, as might be deemed, in the opinion of eminent En-
gineers and other persons best acquainted with the country, to
be the most practicable of attainment, and most likely to repay
the Subscribers to so great and important an undertaking. The
projectors, however, having ascertained the seriou impedi-
ments to crossing North Wales to either of those • ours by a
steam convevapce, have determined, under • sent circum-
stances, not to extend their line beyond th wn of Shrews-
bury, during the next session of Parlia s •
The proposed Railway will branch o' • 'm the Birmingham
and Liverpool Junction Railway at a • o distance from Wol-
verhampton, and avoiding all gentlemen's
_pleasure grounds,
will pass near the towns of Shiffmllynd Wellington; and a
branch will be carried from the Main Line to Coalbrookdale or
Iron Bridge.

--`Phis district of the country is one of great population,
abounds in mineral productions and extensive manufactories,
and the travelling through these towns is in itself of sufficient
importance to render a communication with Shrewsbury by
Railway highly desirable as a public measure, and, at the saine
time, to hold out to its promoters fair views of profitable invest-
ment of their capital.
By. means of this Railway, these important districts of com-
mercial and agricultural wealth, and the large and populous
town of Shrewsbury, will be connected with, and brought closer,
as it were to Loladon, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, and
the North of England, by its junction with the London and
Birmingham and the Birmingham and LiVerpool Railways,
which are so rapidly approaching to completion. This union
of Railways' cannot fail to promote the local interest of the
county of Salop, and to contribute to the prosperity of the
empire by opening a rapid communication between that county
and North Wales, with the Metropolis.
The leading objects of the Provisional Committee will be to
insure, under the advice of the Engineer, the most eligible and
least expensive line; to realise for the Subscribers to the un-
dertaking an ample profit for the outlay, and to confer a benefit
upon the public by this increased means of communication with
remote parts of the country.
The principal Landowners along the line, and the leading
Manufacturers of the county, have been consulted upon this
undertaking, and are favourable to its adoption; an Act of Par-
•liament will be applied for in the next Session, with their con-
currence, to carry it into effect.

The Engineer is engaged in Surveying the Line, and the
Maps will shortly be ready for delivery.
