PROSPECTUS.
The main line of this important undertaking will commence at the
abrupt termination of the Macclesfield branch of the Manchester and
Birmingham Railway at Macclesfield, and proceed thence in an
almost direct line to a point on the Trent Valley Railway near to
Atherstone, and about fifteen miles north-west of Rugby.
It will therefore embrace in its course the towns of Leek, Cheadle,
and Potteries of Swadlincote and Gresley, and the baths and Teen, Uttoxeter, Tutbury, and Burton-upon-Trent, the coal-fields
coal-
fields or Moira, the whole of which wealthy and important tract of
country (with the exception of the town of Burton) is wholly destitute
of railway accommodation.
From Tean it is intended to construct a branch through the Staf-
fordshire Potteries-by way of Longton, Lane End, Stoke-upon-Trent,
and Newcastle-under-Lyre, to Crewe and Nantwech, uniting at
Crewe with the numerous railways centering there, and joining at
Nantwich the railway about to be formed by the conversion of the
Ellesmere and Chester, and Birminghamand Liverpool Junction
Canals.
It is also intended to construct a branch from the main line, at or
near Tutbury to Derby.
" Manchester South Union" Scheme, which, in the year 1836,
Such Is the project, comprising the best parts of the old and well-
knownelicited from a Committee of the HOUSE of Commons the most un-
qualified expressions of approval, and which an inspection of the map
indis-
pensable for the public interest.
of the country will show to be highly desirable, indeed almost
It will open a shorter communication from Manchester, Stockport,.
and Macclesfield, to London (by Rugby), and from Derby (and the
towns northward) to London, than any other line new before the
public.
It will unite Manchester with Derby, Nottingham, Leicester, and
the whole of the Midland and Eastern Counties,
It will afford to Nottingham, Leicester, Derby, and Burton-upon-
Trent the most direct communication with the Staffordshire Potteries,
Crewe, Chester, Runcorn, Liverpool, and the new Docks at Birken-
head, as well as with North Wales and Ireland.
By its means the towns of Leak, Cheadle, Tean, Uttoxeter, Tut-
bury, and the surrounding country, will receive, for the first time, the
benefits of railway communication, and the rich and extensive coal-
fields of Biddulph, Poynton, Adlington, Cheadle, Gresley, gwadlin-
cote, and Moira, will be opened to the whole kingdom.
The traffic must necessarily be immense, and the returns highly
remunerative.
Thus the Committee are enabled to bring forward a legitimate and
independent undertaking, having due regard to a profitable invest-
ment of capital, ate well as to the interest and accommodation of the
public.
The Committee desire to add, that in presenting, in its present
shape, their complete and comprehensive scheme independently of
any ether Railway not actually formed, or now under the consideration
of Parliament, they are not influenced by a wish to supplant other
parties who may have a legitimate claim to a portion of the ground
they propose to occupy, but simply by a desire to form a shorter com-
munication between the great towns of Lancashire, Cheshire, and
Staffordshire, and the Metropolis and the Midland and Eastern Coun-
ties, and to secure to a great district yet unopened, that railway accom-
modation which its wealth and importance demand, whatever may be
the fate of other projects which may have in view the partial or im-
perfect attainment of somewhat similar objects.
Powers will be taken in the Act to allow interest at the rate of 41.
per cent. per annum on all deposits and calls until the opening of the
Line.
Appliestions for Shares may be addressed to the Solicitors ; or to
the following Sbarebrokers, viz.:—Messrs. Tucker, Barnett, and Co.,
Messrs.llarry and Co., or Mr. D. B. Major, London ; Messrs. Earp

This railway has been projected to secure to Manchester and the
flourishing manufacturing district of Lancashire, a direct communi-
cation with Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and the important ports and dis-
tricts in the north-eastern part of the kingdom, and in conjunction Ns, ith
railways now completed or in progress, it will connect Lancashire
with the north of Yorkshire, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Hartlepool,
Durham, and the free port of the Tees, and will shorten the distance
from Lancashire to the north-eastern part of England by upwards of
fifty miles. And on reference to the map of England, it will at once
be seen that this is the most direct line which has hitherto been pro-
jected for that important purpose, and much the most easy of con-
struction.
The line will leave the Leeds and Bradford Extension Railway at a
point between Coble and Skipton, and proceed by way of Grassington
and Kettlewell, by Coverdale, to Middleham, and thence to the
Richmond Branch of the Great North of England Railway, with
such additions thereto as may effect the most direct communication
with Manchester.
The localities through which the line will pass abound with lead ore,
Ironstone, blue limestone, slate, and flags of a superior quality, but ere
entirely deficient in coal. And as a direct communication will thus
be made both with the Durham and Lancashire coal fields, a large
amount of revenue may be expected from this source alone, to say
nothing of the benefits which will be conferred on the inhabitants.
In laying out the line great care will be taken to select not only
that which is best for the public, but also to avoid interference with
any ornamental property. And in full reliance upon this under-
standing, the project meets with the warm approbation of a great
portion of the landowners.
Applications for Shares may be made to the Solicitors, or to the
under-mentioned Sharebrokers, from whom copies of the Prospectus

The distance of the line, which is under 177 miles, will be accom-
plished in about three-and-a-half hours, and no exertion will be
spored to complete the journey in the shortest possible time.
This line will be completely. independent of other lines, making,
made, or to be made, and the delay and inconvenience attendant on
stoppages, the capilccs of rival companies, &c., will be thus avoided.
It will, be

The Most Direct ;
The Speediest ;
The Most Economical.
Ard the promoters feel convinced that a calm consideration of the
matter on its merits will satisfy all that this original line of an able
engineer will be a railway of unequalled public ntrity, and that, if it
will necessarily be an undertaking of magnitude, it is at the same
time one of large promise, and likely to afford very great remuneration
to shareholders.

The Isle of Wight is distant from the main shore of Hampshire, at
Portsmouth about four miles, and at Southampton about eleven milesd
It contains an active population of from 45,000 to 50,000 persons, an
a surface of about 100,000 acres, most of which is cultivable ground.
It is an extensive pasturage for sheep, 10,000 lambs being
annuallY
sold for the Loudon market ; and, whilst it imports all the luxuries
and many of the necessaries of life, it exports a large quant of
ity
grain, lime and other manures.
It is moreover a point of attraction to visitors from every part of
England—the steamers plying from Portsmouth, Southampton, and
Lymington to Cowes, and Ryde, conveying to and fro about two
about Two Hundred Thousand persons annually. Cowes is also
the
station of the Royal Yacht Squadron ; and large numbers of
persons
annually embark by and disembark from sailing vessels beyond those
above enumerated.
Two important lines of railway already abut upon the island atn
Southampton and Gosport ; a third (the Dorchester line) will
of r
em-
the immediate neighbourhood of Lymington, another point
barkation for the island ; and a terminus at Portsmouth will shortly
add to the facilities already enumerated. In addition to the distant
population thus brought into contiguity with it, a very urge local
local
population now without any available outlet, lies in i
neighbourhood to the island.
The inducements to travellers, and, consequently, the number of
visitors, are daily increasing. The South-Western Railway Company
carried, during the first twenty-seven weeks of 1844, 390,000 persons,
whilst in the like period of the present year (pleasure trains baring
been established), the number carried was 462,000—showing
crease, in-
crease, within a few months, of upwards of 71,000 travellers.
Whist, however, the Island is becoming annually a more attractive
centre for tourists, the means of access to its beauties continue very
taedy and unduly expensive. The journey from Cowes to Ventnor, a
distance of only fifteen miles, occupies upwards oetlirce hours, and is
no less costly, than it is tedious. The conveyance of commodities of
essential importance is subject to these inconveniences. Coal, which
might be obtained at Cowes at about 15s. per ton, costs at
345. Stone ()ea very useful quality for building is found at theVentnor latter
place, but so costly is the conveyance that in its stead the stone of
Normandy is imported into Hampshire.
By the established and resident interests of the island these disad-
vantages have been seriously felt, and a partial remedy as regards the
intercourse between Cowes and Newport (the central and capitol
town) was unsucceesilnly proposed in 1839, by the deep
e,ning of the
Medina river, at a cost, however, greater than the construction of a
telway would Involve. All classes of the inhabitants, traders, egri-
&diarists, resident gentry, concurred in the scheme, and a large sum
0t money was uselessly expended before Parliament in its advocacy.
But the back of the island, whilst it offers the great attraction to
visitors, mainly suffers from the deficiency and expense of road com-
munication. Ventnor, lately mere'village, is now universally known

THE STAFFORDSHIRE POTTERIES and
LIVERPOOL and MANCHESTER DIRECT RAILWAY.
(Provisionally Registered.)
The objeet of this railway is to open a direct communication from
the Stafrcirdskire Potteries northwards with Liverpool, Manchester,
and the north of England, Scotland, and southward with Bristol,
London, and the south of England. The line will commence at
Stafford, and proceed through the heart of the Potteries, giving
the best and most ample accommodation to Stoke Longton, New-
castle. Stoke Hanley, Burstein, and the whole of the Pottery district,
whence it will pass betwixt Congleton and Sandbach, through
Knutsford direct to Altrineharn, where it will join the South Junction
Railway to Manchester, an Act for which has been obtained. A
braoporthwards, from the Potteries to Crewe, will connect the
line iMh Chester and Birkenhead ; and branches from Knutsford on
the one hand, through Northwich to Preston Brook, and on the other
to the Cheadiaidation of the Manchester and Birmingham Railway,
will open a communication between the Salt districts and the Pot-
ter!es, Liverpool, Hull, and the eastern ports of England.
The advantages of this railway will be very great to a large and
most important extent of country, hitherto totally unprovided with
railway communication, and will be more fully detailed in a future
Prospectus, which, with Maps and the names of an influential pro-
visional Directory, will be issued with as little delay as possible. The
surveys and estimates are in the course of completion, and no parks
or ornamentals grounds will be interfered with.
Parties interested in the undertaking may communicate with the

This Company i' established under an Act of the Parliament of
Canada, 8 Vic. c. '45, royal assent 17th of March, 1845, for the pur-
pose of forming a Railroad from the city of Montreal, the capital of
that important colony, through the most populous and fertile part of
Canada East, via Sherbrooke, in connexion with a railroad to be con-
structed from the city of Portland, on the Atlantic Ocean, and which
connects it by an existing railroad with Boston. .
This line of Railway, while it gives important advantages, not
only to the provinces, but to the community at lafge, at the same
time promises a safe and remunerative investment for capital.
The present communications with Canada are either by the long
and uncertain navigation of the River St. Lawrence, entirely ob-
structed by ice during six months of the year ; or by the tedious land
journey across from New York or Boston, the shortest of which ex-
ceeds 330 miles of mixed stage and steam conveyance, and can
be used for passengers only. Whilst by the construction of this rail-
road, an uniform and cheap route from the Atlantic, not exceeding
240 miles in length, will be established, available at all seasons of
the year, and forming the connecting link between the Ocean and the
vast chain of canal and lake navigation westward of Montreal.
By Acts lately passed by the Congress of the United States, British
goods are permitted to pass through their territory, under bond, and
by treaty the Canadian mail is transmitted from Boston overland to
Montreal. Under these arrangements this railroad will be at once
the shortest, easiest, and cheapest communication that can be opened
for passengers, as well as for the carriage of the more valuable Bri-
tish manufactures, West India produce, and various foreign goods,
now imported by the St. Lawrence, or sent in by the long and expen-
sive route from New York to Montreal.
To this country, as well as to the numerous emigrants who proceed
yearly to Canada, it must be ever an object to have their communi-
cations accelerated and improved. This railroad will bring Montreal
within a few hours' travel of the excellent and spacious harbours of
Portland and Boston, ever open, and only ten or twelve days by
steam from Great Britain, avoiding altogether the hazardous navi-
gation of the Gulf and River St. Lawrence.
The Act of Incorporation has already been obtained, whereby all
preliminary expenses are saved, and one-sixth of the capital required
has already been subscribed by persons of the first standing, as re-
•spects intelligence, influence, and property, in the colony, thus
affording the strongest guarantee of the confidence there entertained
in the project.
From the point of junction with the railroad to Portland, arrange-
ments are now in progress giving the assurance that no delay will
arise in carrying out the charter granted to parties in the United
States, for the construction of that part of the work.
The whole line has been carefully surveyed by experienced engi-
neers; its practicability fully demonstrated, no tunnelling being re-
quired throughout the whole distance, and the cost of construction
in the most permanent manner, including purchase of land, and ex-
penses of every other description is estimated, will not exceed
450,0001. sterling ; being under 4,0001. per mile for 120 miles of single
line, being the distance in the province to be constructed by this
Company. And it may be remarked that forty miles, of which
twenty-two are of a maximum grade of eight feet to the mile, may
be in operation by the latter end of next summer, at an estimated
cost not exceeding 100,0001. sterling, which part adjoins Montreal,
and will, it is not doubted, immediately yield a profitable return.
The traffic returns obtained from the colony, deduced from actual
sources, after the most careful investigation, and framed exclusive of
Sunday traffic, on which day it is only proposed that the requisite
mail train should travel, show a present expected income of 95,6001.
currency, equal to 79,8331. sterling, when remitted to England,
while the expenses of working the railroad, estimated by similar
works in the United States, will not exceed 30,0001. sterling per
annum. ,
It may, therefore, be safely concluded, that the annual surplus of
income over expenditure will, at its completion, amount to about
50,0001. sterling, or equal to ten per cent. on the capital subscribed;
while the Proprietors have the certainty that, in a country whose
resources are daily becoming so enlarged and developed, this rail-
road, forming the principal highway to the extensive and fertile
regions bordering on the great lakes, comprehending Western Ca-
nada, the States of New York, Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin, and
being the trunk to which local branches will from time to time be-
come united, must steadily and greatly Increase in productiveness.
It will further be observed that, from the position in which this
Company stands, it is prepared to commence operations immediately
on the capital being subscribed ; the instalment required will be im-
mediately expended on the work.
The Act of Parliament having been obtained in Canada, and the
Company being already established, registration under the 7th and
Bth Vic., c. 110,1 s not necessary; nor are parties required to sign a
Parliamentary contract, as in the case of English companies.
