• wis important •natfonnl undertaking was brouht forward i the

),..tomply with the standing orders of the Houses of Parliament;
Zit, during the period that it existed, a very large number of sbe.res
.71,1 influential persons were applied for, and it received •72minent
~
''"blic support.
It will commence at King's-cross, near the norft end of Gray's

This railway has not be'en Pillaged from the prospectuses of any

nblic opinion the sentiments of eminent statesmen and engi-

Which m have been announced since this undertaking originated, is a
r.toir.g proof of the feeling so generally entertained.
,r TI •-
t 4„. .1 is not all. Looking to the map of England, it will be per-
ILted that the nearest route to Edinburgh is :through the very centre
the kingdom, by Manchester; and, from -the obstructions of the
14,',rtha Qf Forth andiray; Carlisle, and Manchester must necessarily

if, then, from various causes, such as the 'continuous increasing,

_l'rom a point in'the Tean Valley, near Cheadle, it is intended to
:rrY.a branclirallway through the Staffordshire Potteries to Crewe,
t. why of I.ane-end, Stoke-upon-Trent, Hanley, Neweastie-under-
, • elle, itershill, and Tunstall, so as to forma junction with the Grand
',hetet' Railway, and make this railway the best communication,
hot only between London and Manchester, but also between London
"4-Liverpool. •
influential persons connected with the Pries have urged
`h:a step as the only one that will enable them tatget directly and
speedily to London and Liverpool.
For seven years this large and Influential district has been endea-
'miring to get a route to London ; every proposed scheme has been
rendered abortive, either by its internal insignificance •or bad ma-
: • "gement, end become a mere article for speculation without the re-
- hlotest adaptation to*the wants of this great industrial population. •
' Had any one of the many projected schemes succeeded, it would
'hot bear the comparison for one moment in point of real soundness,
.. • Utility, and public benefit to the Potteries with the present undertaking.
" • The noblemen and gentlemen on the route have fpr the greater
Part expressed their unqualified support of the line, by 'means, of
which, and the advance of railway science, the expense of formation
Will be rendered comparatively light.
It is the Intention of the promoter's, without absolutely binding
themselves, to adopt the atmospheric principle and broad gauge,
• should such be approved, or to take any gauge or means that will be
economical in working and give high speed ; and any ornamental pro-
. "'AY on the line will, as far as possible, be respected.
The distance, which is 177 miles, will be accomplished in about three
,11d a half hours, and no exertion will be spared to complete the
Journey in the shortest possible time.
This line will therefore be completely. independent of other lines,
'flaking, made, or to be made; and the delay and incon-renience
'ails
on stoppages, the caprices of rival companies, &c.,, will bo
'ails avoided.
It will be

The Most Direct;
The Speediest;

The Most Economical.
~,sA-nd the promoters feel convinced that a calm consideration of the
Atter on its merits will satisfy all that this original line of an able
engineer will bo a railway of unequalled public utility, and. that, if
Will necessarily be an undertaking of magnitude, it is, at titie same
.l e, one of large promise, and likely to afford very treat rev tunera-
Lion to the shareholders.
The Committee of Management have the pleasure to annum:ince, as
(it'e instance among many of the great public advantage.; likely
o'
result fl'orn the carrying out of this railway, that certain leading
altnas., ters of Staffordshire have proposed to this Compan y that, hi
the event of the line being established, they will gaarant se a clear
annual profit of 50,0001. for the conveyance of coal to the, London
Market alone; and they assert, though it forms no part of their
nt proposal, that another 50,0001. per atrium may 1 e realised
they other markets. In the event of such compact being accepted,
173' propose to deliver their best coals in the London aarket at
64. per ton, which would ensure to the metropolis a zuppty of
coal at a price most materially below the present cost.
The Committee feel it right to make this announcement ,because
it
ore of the early practical illustrations in proof of the gr .„t public
utility 'which the Committee most confidently anticipate. from the
nab:J*lll7cent of this important national project.
