DERBYSHIRE, STAFFORDSHIRE, AND
WORCESTERSHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY COM-

PANT.

This line of Railway was originally projected to supply a most im-

the North Staffordshire, the Trent Valley, the London and North
Western, the South Stafforshire, and (by means of the last) the
Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railways. It will, con-
sequently, be in immediate communication with first-class stations
on all these lines.
This Company applied for an Act in the last session, and the Bill
passed the House of Commons, and was only defeated in the House
of Lords upon a technical non-compliance with the standing orders, so
trifling, indeed, that the Commons Select Committee on standing
orders had specially reported that the Bill might and ought to be
proceeded with.
The line may now be made on its original integrity, .from Uttose-
ter, where it will join the North Staffordshire Railway, to a junc-
tion with the South Staffordshire, near Walsall. The latter Com-
pany having obtained an Act, last session, for constructing the line
from Walsall to Dudley, will execute that, the most expensive part
of the whole scheme, and render it unnecessary for this Company to
require more than a capital of 400,0001.
The Directors have the pleasure of stating that upon this capital
the evidence adduced last session proved a probable return of con-
siderably more than ten per cent.
The surveys of last year are now being carefully revised, to enable
Mr. Rastrick, the present engineer of the Company, to select, where
opportunity offers, the line which will best accommodate the public
at the least expense of construction.
The Directors beg to inform the Shareholders of this Company,
and also those of the Direct East and West Junction Railway Com-
pany, that they have been engaged, fbr some time past, in making
arrangements, which they feel assured will prove much to their be-
nefit, and not only secure a return for the great expenses necessarily
incurred in the last session, but will also be of material advantage to
the success of their application to Parliament.
The Directors do not propose to make any further call upon the
Shareholders for that purpose, but as it is necessary, in compliance
with the standing orders, that fresh Parliamentary Deeds should be
signed, each Shareholder is requested to attend, with his scrip, at
the office of the Company, for that purpose, when the old scrip will
he exchanged for new scrip certifloates, in which credit for the full
deposits alreatlypaid will be given, and power of attorney will he for-
warded, free of expense, to Country Shareholders, on application to
the Secretary.

' The new deeds will ha ready for signature on and from the 22nd
day of October instant. In the meantime, all further information
relative to the position and prospects of the Company, may be ob-
tained fr,,in the secretary, by personal application to him, or other-
wise, at the Company's office.

By order of the Directors.
