The Committee of Management beg to inform those parties who
have applied fot Shares in this undertaking that the allotment is now
completed, and that the letters of allotment will be issued on Saturday
next, the Gth instant. They regret that, in consequence of the
numerous applications, more delay has taken place than was at first
anticipated. All applicants not receiving letters of allotment must
not consider that their .applications were overlooked, but that the
Sre,..tt demand for Shares over and above the number to be•allotted
necessarily prevented their being granted.
The Committee are happy to be able to inform their Subscribers
THE MACCLESFIELD AND LICHFIELD, that nearly the whole of the landowners along the liue have promised
their support, and that they have also secured the co-operation of

this RAILWAY CAN BE RECEIVED after SATURDAY, the 6th These advantages, coupled with the. intrinsic.merits of the under,
taking, lead the Committee confidently to anticipate a successful
Day of SEPTEMBER NEXT, exeeptfrom parties locally interested, result to their application to Parliament next session. The surveys

Silk Manufacturers, Leek

This line will commence at the terminus of the Manchester and
Birmingham Railway at Macclesfield, and passing by the Rudyard
reservoir to Leek, will proceed by the Churnet Valley to Consall,
thence close to Cheadle, and Tean, and by Uttoxeter, Bagots Woods
and Abbots Bromley down the Blythe, to a point'on the Trent Valley
Railway, near Lichfield, communicating there with one of the pro-
posed lines from Dudley and Walsall.
A glance at the map will show that this will be the most direct
line for the London and Manchester traffic ; uniting those two great
termini by the shortest practicable route in connexion with existing
railways. It will also completely accommodate the local traffic and
manufactures, and open several extensive coal fields and some thou-
sand acres of wood land far the supply of Manchester, the Potteries,
and other great marts of the kingdom. Together, too, with the pro-
posed line from Derby to Crewe, it will afford a transit froth the
Eastern Counties and Derby to Manchester, and give every accom-
modation to the Potteries.
This line is, in its principal features, much the same as that already
approved of by the Board of Trade, and partially abandoned by the
Churnet Valley Company—will be scarcely 47 miles in length, and
passing through the centre of the district, does not interfere with the
Grand Junction, or any other existing railway. It is material to re-
mark, that it is even more direct than the Churnet Valley as formerly
projected to Tamworth, and is free from the formidable opposition of
the landed Interest, and the engineering difficulties consequent on the
route by Racester and Marchington. It must be observed also that
it is the only railway which has been brought forward by, and is
under the control of, the landowners and manufacturers of the.Churnet
and Blythe Valley districts.
The co-operation of inost of the principal landowners, from near
Uttoxeter to near Lichfield, having been obtained, and there being
no competing lines projected through that district, this portion of the
line may be considered as secure.
