rHIS Railway will form a continuation of the North
Wales Mineral Railway, and will complete the direct
line of liailway from Shrewsbury to Chester; it will con-
nect the important towns of Shrewsbury and Oswestry,
and the adjacent rich and populous districts in the neigh-
bourhood of Newtown and We)shpool, with the mineral
fields of North Wales and with Chester; by the Birken-
head Railway with Liverpool and the projected docks at
Birkenhead; by means of the Holyhead Railway with the
sea coast of North Wales and with Ireland ; and by the
contemplated Railway from Chester to Preston-brook,
with Manchester.and the manufacturing districts of Lan-
•eashire and Yorkshire, and the North of England. To
the South, it will afford the means of communication from
the districts which have been enumerated, with the south-
,ern and western counties of England and Wales.
It is aline called for by the local wants of the country
through which it passes, and is not a competing line with
any existing Railway.
The length of line is 234 miles; and to connect Chester
and Shrewsbury by any other line (without makinguse of
existing Railways) will injure the construction of more
than 36 miles of railway, and that over an agricultural
district thinly populated.

. .
The existing passenger and goods traffic is very .consi-
derable ; and the mineral traffic in coal, lime, slates, stone
for building purposes, and also in timber, is very great,
and must largely increase, when a railway is constructed.
The traffic in general goods, from Bristol and Birming-
ham on the one side, and Manchester and Liverpool =on
the other, towards the central districts of Wales, to
Wrexham, Ruabon, Llangollen, Ruthin, Oswestry,
Welshpool. Newtown, This, Dolgelly, and all parts of
Montgomeryshire, Merionethshire, and Denbighshire, is
very extensive, and mast be carried along this line.
The cost of construction will be moderate, as the coun-
try abounds in materials of the best description. There
are only two points of the line where the works are of an
expensive description—the crossing of the Dee and the
Ceriog—but including these, the cost of the line, taking
into account the whole length, will be below an average.
Application for Shares, on or before the 6th of January
next, to be made to
Mr. KELSALL, Solicitor, Chester ;
Mr. SCARTH, Solicitor, Shrewsbury;
Mr. EDGIVORTH, Solicitor, Wrexham ;
And Mr. THOMAS 'KUL, Oswestry.
And parties applying must state their names and ad-
are- sses in full.
