Itli a ' t k,FE of the same size (No. 4 ) and descr i p tion m edi at e ,y This line of railway will commence at the junction of the Manchester and Birmingham, Chester and Crewe, and Grand Junction railways, at Crewe, in the county of Chester, and proceed from thence through or near the towns of Market Drayton, Newport, and Shiffnal, in Shropshire, thence - through the flourishing town of Kid derminster, to Worcester and Tewkesbury, and to the Bristol railway at Gloucester. By this means it will form the most direct route from Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool. Hull. and Chester, to the important ports of Gloucester and Bristol ; indeed, the most direct line from the north of England to the Bristol Channel. It will, also, in con junction with the proposed Hereford and Worcester, and Swansea, Merthyr-Tydvil, and Hereford railways, form the most advantageous route from Swansea and the iron districts of South Wales, to Liverpool, Manchester, and Hull Your obedient servants, J. and W.

The line will cross the Shrewsbury and Birmingham railway at Shiffnal, and the Shropshire Mineral railway and the Trent Valley Union at the thriving town of New port. It will form a junction with the two latter railways at Newport whereby persons and luggage may be conveyed to Stafford, Derby, the Midland Counties, Staffordshire Potteries, Sheffield, and Hull •, and, in addition to the carriage of heavy goods from Bristol, Gloucester, Wor cester, and Kidderminster, to Manchester, Liverpool, the whole of the North of England, and Scotland, will secure a large passenger traffic in the district through which it passes. A branch will be made from Newport to the important town of Wellington. The proposed railway will be about 87 miles in length, and between the two termini of Crewe and Gloucester, will save in distance at least 20 miles, and the journey can be accomplished at the present rate of travelling, in about two hours_ This project as a junction line connects itself with some of the most important railways in the kingdom. It also skirts the large extensive, and densely populated Iron districts of Shropshire and Staffordshire, and in its course pastes through a rich agricultural country. It must, therefore, be obvious that there will be a sufficient traffic to pay a high rate of interest on the capital re quired. There are no engineering difficulties in the country through which the line is intended to pass, the whole being nearly on a level ; and on reference to the map of country, taken from the Ordnance survey, which accom panies the Prospectus, the line will appear straight, and will at the same time show the superior advantages it possesses, and that it cannot be surpassed by any existing or projected lines, between the same termini. It will not interfere with any ornamental property, and no tunnelling will be required. Application is intended to be made in the ensuing ses sion of Parliament for a direct line of railway (of which a survey has been made) from Southampton to Kidder minster, and by which a ready communication will be af forded to the most southern ports of England. The liabilities of the shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions, and interest will be allowed on the deposits and further calls, from the date of the several payments to the opening of the line. Prospectuses, with Maps and Forms of Application for Shares, can be had from the Secretary, on application at the temporary offices of the Company, 3, Abchurch-lane, London ; from the Solicitors and Local Agents; also from the following Brokers, viz.:—Messrs.

LOCAL AGENTS. Knutsford Henry Wright, esq. Congleton John Wilson, esq. Derby Messrs. Dunnicliff & Severne. This Company has been formed for the purpose of con structing and maintaining a direct line of Railway be Lveen the towns of Liverpool and Derby, by proceeding from an independent terminus at Liverpool, or on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, diverging in a direct course to Warrington, Knutsford, thence to Congleton, Leek, Ashbourne by Eirailsford and Langley, to Derby, thus affording Railway accommodation (the want of which has for some considerable time been most seriously felt) to four large intermediate manufacturing Towns, and completing a direct communication to Ireland, Liverpool, and the north-west of England, from Nottingham, Grant ham, and the eastern perts of Boston, Lynn, and Yar mouth ; as also (in conjunction with the Midland Counties Railway) from Leicester, Melton Mossbray, Oakham, Stamford, Peterborough, Ely, Norwich, and Cambridge; and forming, by the intended Churnet and Blythe Valley Railway, the most direct line of communication between Liverpool and London. The importance of the different Towns through which this Railway will pass, is sufficient to convince all parties that on public grounds alone it is absolutely necessary; and that the immense local traffic not only justifies but demands its formation, independently of the great acces sion which must necessarily follow, from the advantages which will be given to the several Towns and Ports above enumerated, and to the various Ports south-east of Derby, in opening to them the grand Commercial DepOt and Port of Liverpool. The necessity of establishing the most direct Railway communication between the Towns of Liverpool and Derby is self-evident, from the fact of the enormous traffic which at present exists under the most disadvantageous circumstances; the nearest communication by Railway being 120 miles, whilst, by the construction of the proposed Line, the entire distance will be reduced to about 73 miles, opening at the same time the shortest practicable route between Liverpool, Manchester, and London. It would be superfluous, in reference to a Line present ing so many extraordinary advantages, to encumber the Prospectus with details of estimated traffic; for, lade pendent of its possessing the great desideratum of direct ness, the present local trade, it is well known, will produce a return that evidently must surpass that of any other Scheme which has hitherto been projected. It may further be mentioned, as worthy of consideration, that the proposed Line, which must necessarily form a "Great Trunk Line," interferes with no existing Railway, presents no engineering difficulties, and requires no works to cause any delay in its completion. Power will be taken by the Act of Parliament to allow interest, at the rate of £4 per cent. per annum, on all calls until the opening of the Line ; and no Subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his De posit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond his Subscription. Until an Act of Parliament be obtained, the affairs of the &;I)any will be under the direction and control of the Committee of Management. Power will be applied for in the Act—and, in the mean time, is hereby given to the Committee of Management—to increase the propose:l Capital, if necessary; to abandon any part of the L►ne; to make Branch Lines, or enter into arrangements with any other Company or Companies; and to nominate the first Direc'ors of the Company. In the allotment of Shares, a preference will be given to parties locally in terested, and Shareholders in the different Railways com municating with the Line. Application for Prospectuses, Maps, and Shares in the form subjoined, may be made to F. W. Mount, Esq. So licitor, 10, Lawrence Pountney Lane, London ; the Local Agents; and the following Stock and Share-brokers (and must be accompanied by a reference of known respecta bility):—London, Messrs.
