SECRETARY—Mr. W. F. Westall

The great objects of this company are twofold. The first Is to esta-
blish the most direct line of railway communication between all th-
midland And southern and northern counties of 'England ; and also
with Scotland, by a short junction line of about 22 miles in length
from the North Union Railway, at or near Parkside, to apoint on the
Manchester and Birmingham Railway, at or near Prestbury, and
thence to Macclesfield, there uniting with some one or more of such
of the undermentioned proposed lines, to or near that place, as may be
sanctioned by Parliament; effact a junction with the Trent Val-
ley, London and Birmingham, and Midland Counties Railways
Birmingham and Manchester Direct Railway
Churnet and Blyth, or Macclesfield and Lichfield Junction
Railway
Tean and Dove Valley
North Staffordshire •
London and Manchester Direct (Remington's and Rastrick's
Amalgamated)
North Cheshire
South Union
Rugby, Derby, and Manchester •
Manchester and Rugby Direct
Direct Sheffield and Macclesfield.
A continuous line of railway communication will thus be formed
from Lmdon, Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and the Potteries,
with Wigan, Preston, the ports of Fleetwood and Lancaster, and
with Carlisle; and from that place, by the Caledonian Railway,
to Edinburgh and Glasgow, and all the important cities and towns
in Scotland, thus establishing the most important and uninter-
rupted, and at the same time the shortest and most expeditious line
of communication between the metropolis of England and that of
Scotland, and all the intermediate places. In conjunction with the
proposed line from Sheffield to Macclesfield, the most direct Commu-
nication betweenaLiverpool and Sheffield will he effected.
The second object of this Company is bytheproposed branch to
Warrington, there uniting with the contemplated line of the Grind
Junction Railway Company from that place to the Liverpool and
and Manchester Railway, at Iluyton, to effect the shortest and most
convenient line of communication between Macclesfield, Warrington,
and Liverpool.
When it is considered that Macclesfield and its environs, with a
population of 50,000, must become so important a centre of railway
communication from the midland, western, and southern counties of
England, and that there is not at present any direct railway from
thence, connecting it with all the important manufacturing, coal,
and other mineral districts, in the direct line to Scotland, and that
this line would meet the existing deficiency, and form the most di-
rect route, by effecting a saving of sixteen miles in the distance from
Macclesfield to Parkside and also to Warrington, over any esta-
blished or proposed line in a northern direction—the desireableness of
this project, in a na Tonal point of view, must, it is presumed, be ad-
mitted ; and that it will form an important trunk line of communi-
cation, over which a larger amount of passenger traffic, agricultural,
mineral, and the manufacturing produce would pass, than any other
line of the same length in the kingdom. The advantage which this
project offers to the puislic will be sufficiently apparent, without fur-
ther comment.
The liability of each shareholder will be restricted to the amount
of the shares taken; and power will be applied for in the Bill to
allow interest, at the rate of 4/. per cent. per annum, on all calls
mode from the time of payment to the opening of the line.
The survey of the line is now in progress, and, with other neecs-
earY arrangements, will be completed without delay, in order to'go
to Parliament in. the ensuing session. •

plication for shares, may be had from the Company's solicitors ; or
