(Provisionally Registered).

The Committee, with the view of enabling responsible
parties (desirous to participate in the allotment) to secure
at Isas. some shares in this great undertaking, will permit the pay-
ment of a preliminary deposit of 10s. 6d. per share previous to ap-
plication being made ; and will guarantee that the parties so paying
shall have shares allotted them, to at least the number upon which
the sum paid by them as a preliminary deposit shall cover the full
deposit of 21. 12s. 6d. They, however, reserve to themselves the
right of limiting this privilege to the extent of 100 shares, if a
larger number should be applied for, or even of refusing it, in cases
where they may find on inquiry that the applicant is not in their
judgment eli,gib:e to be a shareholder; in such cases the deposit
will be immediately returned ; nor will this privilege be extended
beyond tl.e disposition of 100,000 shares, after which the bankers
of the Comp,ny will receive instructions to refuse further prelimi •
nary deposits.
The preliminary de:•osits must be paid to the bankers of the
Company, who will furnish a receipt for the same. The Com-
mittee caution the public not to negotiate such receipts, as their
undertaking to supply the shares holds good only so far as the
applicants, upon their references being examined into, prove re-
spectable and responsible. They particularly request that each
applicant for shares who avails himself of this privilege will state,
in his application, the amount of the deposit he has paid, and the
number of the bankers' receipt.

This Company has been formed for the purpose cf constructing
Pad maintaining a direct line of railway between the towns of
Liverpool and Derby, by proceeding from an independent terminus
at Liverpool, or on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, diverg-
ing in a direct course to Warrington, Knutsford, thence to Congle-
ton, Leek, Ashbourne, by Brailsford and Langley, to Derby, thus
affording railway accommodation (the want of which has for some
considerable time been most seriously felt) to four large interme-
diate manufacturing towns, and completing a direct communica-
tion to Ireland, Liverpool, and the north-west of England, from
Nottingham, Grantham, and the Eastern ports of Boston, Lynn,
and Yarmouth ; as also (in conjunction with the Midland Coun.
ties Railway) from Leicester, Melton Mowbray, Oakham, Stam.
ford, Peterborou;sh, Ely, and Cambridge; and forming, by the
intended Churnet and Blythe Valley Railway, the most direct line
of communication between Liverpool and London.

The importance of the different towns through which this rail-
way will pass, is sufficient to oonvince all parties that on public
grounds alone it is absolutely necessary; and that the immense local
traffic not only justifies but demands its formation, independently of
the great accession which must necessarily follow, from the advan-
tages wt.ich will be given to the several towns and ports above-
enumerated, and to the various ports south-east of Derby, in opening
to them the grand commercial depot and port or Liverpool.
The necessity of establishing the most direct railway communi-
cation between the towns of Liverpool and Derby is self-evident,
from the fact of the enormous traffic which at present exists under
the most disadvantageous circumstances ; the nearest communica-
tion by railway being 120 miles, whilst, by the construction of the
prop-sed line, the entire distance will be reduced to about 73 miles,
opening at the same time the shortest practicable route between
Liverpool, Manchester, and London.
It would be superfluous, in reference to a line presenting so many
extraordinary advantages, to encumber the prospectus with details
of estimated traffic; for, independent of its possessing the great
desideratum of directness, the present local trade, it is well known,
will produce a return that evidently must surpass that of any other
scheme which has hitherto been projected.
It may further be mentioned, as worthy of consideration, that
the proposed line, which must necessarily form a " Great Trunk
line," interferes with no existing railway, presents no engineering
difficulties, and requires no works to cause any delay in its corn
pletion. _ _ .
