1-11-S 'Railway will form a continuation of *the:North
'Wales Mineral Railway, and will complete tliedirect
line of Railway from Shrewsbury to Chester; con-
nect' the important towns of Shrewsbury and Oswestry,
and, thetdjacent rich and populous districts in the neigh-
bourhood of Newtown and Welshpool, withthe•mineral
fields of North Wales and with 'Chester ; by theißirken-
hea'd Railway with Liverpool and the projected docks at
Birkenhead; by means of the Holyhead Railwarvith 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-
cashire and Yotkshire, and :the North of England. To
the South, it will afford the means of communication from
the districts which have 'been enumerated, withtbe south-
ern and western counties of'England arid Wales.
It is.alline called for byttbe local wants of theconntry
through which it passes, and is not a competing line with
any existing Railway'.
The length of line is 2.34evailes; and to connectiChester
and Shrewsbury by any other line (without making-use of
existing will injtre the construction of more
than
Railways)an36inile sof ilway, and that over an agricultural
district thinly populated.
The existing passenger and goods traffic is very.consi-
derable;.sed the mineral traffic in coal, lime, slates, stone
for building purposes, and also in timber, is verpgreat,
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, Bala, Dolgelly, and all parts of
Montgomeryshire, Merionethshire, and Denbighshire, is
very extensive, and must be carried along this line.
The cost •of construction will be moderate, as the coun-
try abowndsin materials of • the best description. There
are only two points of the line where the works are of-an
expensive description—theArrossing of the Dee and the
Ceriog—but including these,'tbe cost of the line, taking
into account the whole length, will be below an average.
Application for Shares, 0110 f before the 6th of January
next, to be made to

Mr. SCARTH, Solicitor, Shrewsbury;
