PICELIMINAR 1 ANNOUNCEMENT.
lop• AILWAY FROM MACCLESFIELD,
pass;ng close to the Towns of Leek, Cheadle, and Uttoxeter,
to Trent Valley Railway north of Lichfield.
PROVISIONALLY REGISTERED. . ,

The 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 Conseil,
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 north of Lichfield, communicating near there with
one of the proposed lines from Dudley or Wolverhampton.
A glance at the map will show that this will be the most direct
line for the London and Manchester traffic, uniting these two great
termini by the shortest practicable route in connexion with existing
railwa3 s, will completely .I.e'ommodate the local traffic, and throw
opals several extensive Coal fields and some thousand acres of Wood
land to Manchester, the Potteries, and other great marts of the
kingdom.
This Line is also in some of its principal features the same as that
already approved of by the Board of Trade, and partially abandoned
by the Churnet Valley Company—will not comprise more than fifty
miles of Railway, and passing through the centre of the unoccupied
part of the district, does not interfere with the Grand Junction or
any other existing, Railway. This and the proposed Line from
Crewe to Derby will also well acco.nmodate the Potteries, giving to
that important locality a direct route to London, Birmingham, and
the South, to Liverpool and the North, and to Derby and the East,
and will also afford a transit for the Eastern counties traffic from
Derby to Manchester. The co-operation of almost all the principal
landowners from near Uttoxeter to near Lichfield having been ob-
tained, this portion of the line may be considered as secure.
A most influential Provisional Committee, consisting of land-
owners and manufacturers, and others locally Interested, will shortly
be published. In the meantime references may be made to Matthew
Gaunt, Esq., Highfield House, Leek ; or to Thomas Tumor, Esq.,
Abbots Bromley, near Uttoxeter.

BIRMINGHAM, WOLVERHAMPTON, and
STOUR VALLEY RAILWAY.
The course which it is proposed that this line of railway shall take
is along or near the banks of the Birmingham Canal to Wolver-
hampton, with a branch to Dudley.
It is further proposed to carry a line from the above-mentioned
line, 3:.;ar Smethwick, by way of Halesowen, Cradley, Stourbridge.
and Kidderminster, down the whole length of the Valley of the Stour,
to he ju:,etion with the Severn.
These lines of railway will afford to the vast population, and
varied in lace and manufactures of the districts throuh which they
will pass, the cheapest and shortest communication with the ports of
London, Hull, and Liverpool, as well as with the large and important
districts occupied by the Midland Railways and the North of
En•gland
The line from Birmingham to Wolverhampton will form a portion
of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway, with the existing Com-
pany for the formation of which satisfactory arrangements have
been made. . .

The object of the rarties proposing this scheme of railways is to
present to the most important manufacturing interest of South Staf-
fordshire and Worcestershire the greatest facility for the conveyance
of their goods to and along the various trunk railways of the king-
dom at the least possible cost, and no effort will be spared to secure
so desirable a result.

The Birmingham Canal Company and the London and Birmingham
and Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway Companies have con-
curred to furnish the means of effecting this undertaking and the
btourbritige, Dudley. and Birmingham Railway Company, with their
strong local influence, have united their interests to those of this
Company.
Application will be made to Parliament in the next session for an
Act to effect the above purposes.
Information may be obtained by applying at the office of the Canal
Company in Birmingham, or to
Messrs. INGLEBY, WRAGGE, and COPE,) solicitors,
and Birmingham.
