PROSPECTUS.

The main line of this important undertaking will commence at the
abrupt termination of the Macclesfield branch of the Manchester and
Birmingham Railway at Macclesfield, and proceed thence In an
almost direct line to a point on the Trent Valley Railway near to
Atherstone, and about fifteen miles north-west of Rugby.
It will therefore embrace iu its course the towns of Loek, Cheadle,
Tean, Uttoxeter, Tutbury, and Burton-upon-Trent, the ooal-fields
and Potteries of Swadlincote and Gresley, and the baths and coal-
fields of Moira, the whole of irhich wealthy and important tract of
country (with the exception of the town of Btirtoi) is wholly destitute
of railway accommodation.

From Tean it is intended to construct a branch through the Staf-
fordshire Potteries by way of Longton, Lane End, Stoke-upon-Trent,
and Newcastle-under-Lyne, to Crewe and Nautwich, uniting at
Crewe with the numerous railways centering there, and joining at
Nantwich the railway about to be formed by the conversion of the
Ellesmere 'and Chester, and Birmingham and Liverpool Junetien
Canals.

It is alsointended to construct a branch from the main line, at or
near Tutbury to Derby.
Such is' the'project, comprising the best parts of the old and well-
known " Manchester South Union" Scheme, which, in the year 1836,
elicited from a Committee of the House of Commons the moat un-
qualified expressions of approval, and which an inspection of the map
of the country will show to be highly desirable, indeed almost indis-
pensable for the public interest.
It will open a shorter communication from Manchester, Stockport,
and Macclesfield, to London (by Rugby), and from Derby (and the
towns northward) to London, than ail other lino now before the
public. •
It will unite Manchester with Derby, Nottingham, Leicester, and
the whole of the Midland and Eastern Counties.
It will afford to Nottingham, Leicester, Derby, and Burton-upon-
Trent the • most direct communication with the Staffordshire Potteries,
Crewe, Chester, Runcorn, Liverpool, and the new Docks at Birken-
head, as well as with North Wales and Ireland. _ .

By its means the towns of Leak, Cheadle, Teen, Uttoxeter, Tut-
bury, and the surrounding country, will receive, for the first time, the
benefits of railway communication, and the rich and extensive coal-
fields of Iliddulph, Poynton, AdWigton, Cheadle, Gresley, Swadlin-
cote, and Moira; will be opened to the whole kingdom.
The traffic must necessarily be immense, and the returns highly
remunerative.
Thus the. Committee are enabled to bring fbrward a legitimate and
independent undertaking, having due regard to a profitable invest-
ment of capital, as well as to the interest and accommodation of the
puhllc.
The Committee desire to add, that in presenting, in its present
shape, their complete and eomprehensivn scheme independently of
any ether Railway not actually formed, or now under the consideration
of Parliament, they are not influenced by a wish to supplant other
parties who may have a legitimate claim to a portion of the ground
they propose to occupy, but simply by a desire to form a shorter com-
munication between the great towns of Lancashire, Cheshire, and
Staffordshire, and the Metropolis and the Midland and Eastern Coun-
ties, and to secure to a great district yet unopened, that railway accom-
modation which its .wealth and importance demand, whatever may bo
the fate of other projects which may have in view the partial or im-
perfeCt attainment of somewhat similar objects.
Powers will be taken in the Act to allow interest at the rate of 41.
per cent. per annum on all deposits and calls until the opening of the
Link .
Applications for Shares may be addressed to the Solicitors; or to

This line of railway will commence at or near to the Trent Valley
station at Atherstone, and pass by Snarcstone, Meashfun, Ashby-de-
la-Zouch, and Burton-upon-Trent, to a junction with the Churnet
Valley portion of the North Staffordshire Railway, near Tutbury,
with a branch on or near to the line of the Ashley de la Zoueh Canal,
by Market Bosworth and Hinckley to the Leicester and Birmingham
Railway. '
This line will form the shortest and most direct route from Man-
cheater to London. It will also bring the valuable coal fields of
Moira'and Ashby Moulds into direct and immediate communication
with the southern and western markets, by means of the Treat
Valley, Midland, and Churnet Valley districts of the North Stafford-
shire Railways. It will also give to the important town of Burton-
upon-Trent, and the populous country to the north and west, con-
♦enient access to this district.

Another principal feature of the line is, to supply railway com-
municationa .to the established mineral baths at Moira and Ashby
de Is Zouch, and to the inhabitants of the latter town and neigh-
bourhood.

It will also afford an outlet to the extensive trade and fabrics of
the Leicestershire and Derbyshire Potteries. It will also, by a short
branch, have access to the Leicester and Swannington Railway and
coal field.

.. •
Another local advaniage will be the supply of lime to extensive
agricultural districts by this line from the quarries of Ticklish, Cloud
Hill, and Bredon.

With these various sources of traffic, the absence of competing
lines, and the unusual facilities in the character of the country for
the construction of a railway—n• considerable work being required,
and the gradients being peculiarly favourable for the working of the
line, and the opening of the shortest route between Manchester and
London—there is a certain prospect of a more than ample return for
the capital.

The Act for the formation of the Wilts and Somerset Railway
having passed the Legislature, the Directors of the present under-
taking propose to take up that line at Salisbury, and join it by a direct
Railway communication of twenty-one miles on the broad gauge,
with the important towa and port of Southampton. The line has
been carefully surveyed by experienced parties, and as it presents
no engineering or other ditnculties (the chief kandowners being most
favourably disposed towards it) the Directors have the fullest con-
fidence that the estimates for its construction, &c., will net be ex-
ceeded, while the statistics of traffic are so abundant, both through
and local, (a detailed statement of which may be seen at the office),
as to leave no doubt on the minds of the Directors that a most sa-
tisfactory diiidend will be realised, to arise from the large number of
passengers that must embark and disembark at Southampton, to and
from the East and West Indies, the Mediterranean, France, the
Southern States of Europe, the Channel Islands, Isle of Wight, &c.,
as well as the large supplies of iron, coal, slate, stone for building,
flour, grain, and merchandise, constantly required to be transported
to, and received. at Southampton, either for use there, for exporta-
tion, or for the consumption in thst part of the interior of the country
traversed by the &umber of railways in connexion with, or springing
from, the present line.
The route of the proposed' line will pass through commons and
lands of little value ; it will ' proceed from the Station of the Wilts,
Somerset,. and, Weymouth.Rallway, at Fisherton Anger, and proceed
by or near to Downton, Plaitford, over Hampworth and East Willow
Commons, by Rramshaw to Redbridge, taking the line of the old
Canal at Millbrook, and crossing the Mudlands to the Royal Pier,
Southamptoe, contiguous to which, and on the present waste shore.
it is proposed to erect a spacious Terminus, the cost of which is in-
clUded in the estimate.
It is also proposed to place the Railway in cemmunicatlon with the
loyal Pier and Town Quays, so that the convenience of loading and
unloading on the line may be secured.
A certain .number of Shares will be reserved for the Proprietors
of the Wilts and Somerset Railway.
• Applications for Shares, according to the annexed form, may be
addressed to the respective Solicitors, or to the Secretary, at the

to connect the Great Southern and Western with tbo Waterford and
Limerick Railway, and thus establish for Clonmel a direct communi-
cation with the metropolis by
a route the shortest of any yet pro-
posed.
This project now appears befbre the public with this strong recom-
mendation, " That the Great southern and Western Railway Com-
pany,' being already empowered by their. Act to make that part of
the line lying between Thurles and Cashel, have consented to ass the
powers vested in them for the benefit of this Company."
This railroad, passing through one of the most fertile and populous
parts of Ireland, will afford accommodation to a district containing
more than 100,000 inhabitants, and abounding is agricultural pro-
duce; for which Clonmel, the first inland town in Ireland, with its
extensive mills, breweries, bacon yards, and distillery, offers a cer-
tain market.
This line will also secure to the northern parts of Tipperary, and
the adjoining counties, the most expeditious conveyance to the port
of Waterford.
The extensive collieries of Slievardagh, worked by the Mining
Company of Ireland, lie contiguous, and must prove a great source
of revenue to this Company. Our engineer has been instructed to
examine and report on the best mode of connecting them with the
main line..

—Gsdculating from the traffic tables proved before the Committees of
the House of Commons, in the cases of the Great Southern and
Western and Waterford and Limerick Railway Companies, for the
adjoining districts, the Committee look with confidence for an ample
return for the capital invested.

A preliminary survey of the line has been made; no engineering
difficulties present themselves; Ito tunnelling nor deep elating will
be required ; no demesnes will be interfered with, and it is calculated
that 10,0001. per mile will be more than sufficient to complete the
undertaking.
This is not a competing
line, and has obtained the sanction and sup-
port of nearly all the landowners through whose property it is in-
tended to pass.
Powers will be taken in the Bill to lease this railway to, or con-
tract with any other Company, so as to ensure the greatest economy
in working the line.

The object of this railway is to form a direct line of communication
from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, the ports of Shields, Middlesborough,
Tynemouth, and Sunderland, Seaham Harbour, the rising ports of
Hartlepool, Stockton-on-Tees, and the other ports on the north-east
coast of England, to the important towns of Clitheroe, Preston, Black-
burn, Bolton, Bury, Wigan, Charley, Manchester, and Liverpool, and
the other great manufacturing and commercial towns of Lancashire.
Commencing at Preston, it will proceed by the Valley of the Ribble
to Clitheroe, where it meets with the proposed extension of the
Blackburn, Darwen, and Bolton line frora Blackburn to Clitheroe; it
will thence proceed to Settle and Ilawes by the most direct course,
and by the Valley of the Ure and the Wensleydale, to the towns of
Askrigg and Richmond, near which latter place it will form a junc-
tion with the Great North of England and Newcastle and Darlington
Railways, by means of the Richmond Branch of the former Railway.
The population of the districts thus placed in direct communication

of .Ireland, viii 'greatly facilitata tin-interchange of commerce
tween the two countries. It effects a saving of upwards of forty miles
over the shortest existing route between Newcastle and Liverpool.
The immense population at Its termini is a sufficient guarantee of
the passenger traffic which may be anticipated.
The line will also afford the greatest facility for the transmission of
coals from the mines of Durham and Lancashire to the towns and
districts between the termini. In this article alone a very large traf-
fic may undoubtedly be anticipated, the price of coals at Settle and
its neighbourhood now varying from 20s. to 225. per toz, while by
means of the Railway coals of the best quality may be supplied to
Settle and the northern district of the West Riding of Yorkshire and
Lancashire in any quantity at from 10s. to 12s. per ten.
The want •f direct means of communication between the ports in
the north of England and the towns of Liverpool, Preston, Fleet-
wood, and Manchester, has been long felt ; the importance also of a
system of easy railway communication around Manchester, extended
to a much larger radius than at present is occupied by any lines to-
wards the north, has been fully explained by the Board of Trade, as
affording a greater choice .of sites for the erection of mills and
factories.

' The important local elements of traffic in elate, lead, ironstone,
freestone, and lime, which will be derived from the Immediate vici-
nity of Wensleydale and Swaledale, and the other great mineral
rallies along the line, are sufficiently obvious to all who are acquainted
with the district, independent of the traffic in cattle mut agricultural
produce from Durham, Darlington, Richmond, Settle, and ether
grazing districts, which is now very considerable. It is believed that
these sources of profit, together with the through traffic already
alluded to, will yield a most ample return en the proposed capital.
A preliminary survey has been taken of the line, and the sections
are nearly completed. The length of the line between Preston and
Richmond will be from seventy to seventy-five miles, and no
peculiar engineering difficulties exist. The capital determined to 1?e
raised has been estimated to be more than sufficient for the comple-
tion of the works. _ _

are pending with other companies ; the Provisional Committee,
therefore, reserve to themselves the right of making such extensions
of this project and of increasing the capital for carrying out any each
extensions as they may consider advantageous, with the view of
forming a comprehensive system of railway communication from
the northern and eastern ooast with Liverpool and Manchester, and
the manufacturing districts generally.
Applications for shares must be made to the solicitors, of whom,
also, prospectuses may be had, and should bo made in the annexed

THE variable state of the WEATHER has
produced the numerous cases of low fever and debility existing
at present, and is a sure indication of habitual costiveness, caused
generally by want of care in attending to the state of the digestive
visceral organs. The only real remedy in such cases is LORD EL-
DON'S APERIENT PILLS, which have been the means of positive
cure to many thousands ; they are peculiarly adapted for persons of
both sexes who are of sedentary habits ; they are patronised by the
nobility and gentry, and are the mildest and most efficacious medi-
cine extant.
