The great objects of this company are twofold. The first is to esta•
Wish the most direct line of railway communication between all th-
midland and southern and northern counties of England ; and also
with Scotland, by a short junction line of about 22 miles in length
from the North Union Railway', at or near Parkside, to apoint on the
Manchester and Birmingham Railway, at or near Prestbury, and
thence to Macclesfield, there uniting with some one or more of such
of the undermentioned proposed lines, to or near that place, as may be
sanctioned by Parliament, ind effict a junction with the Trent Val-
ley, London and Birmingham, and Midland Counties Railways
Birmingham and Manchester Direct Railway
Churnet and Blyth, or Macclesfield and Lichfield Junction
Railway
Tenn and Dove Valley
North Staffordshire
London and Manchester Direct (Remington's and Rastrick's
Amalgamated)
North Cheshire
South Union
Rugby, Derby, and Manchester
Manchester and Rugby Direct
Direct Sheffield and Macclesfield.
A continuous line of railway communication will thus be formed
from Lyndon, Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and the Potteries,
with Wigan. Preston, the ports of Fleetwood and Lancaster, and
with Carlisle; and from that place, by the Caledonian Railway,
to Edinburgh and Glasgow, and all the important cities and towns
in Scotland, thus establishing the most important and uninter-
rupted, and at the same time the shortest and most expeditious line
of communication between the metropolis of England and that of
Scotland, and all the intermediate places. In conjunction with the
oposed line from Sheffield to Macclesfield, the most direct commu-
nication between Liverpool and Sheffield will be effected.
The second object of this Company is by the proposed branch to
Warrington, there uniting with the contemplated line of the Grand
Junction Railway Company from that place to the Liverpool and
and Manchester Railway, at Huyton, to effect the shortest and most
convenient line of communication between Macclesfield, Warrington,
and Liverpool.
When it is considered that Macclesfield and its environs, with a
population of 30,000, must become so important a centre of railway
communication from the midland, western, and southern counties of
England, and that there is not at present any direct railway front
thence, connecting it with all the important manufacturing, coal,
and other mineral districts, in the direct line to Scotland, and that
this line would meet the existing deficiency, and form the most di-
rect route, by effecting of saving of sixteen miles in the distance front
'Macclesfield to Parkside and also to Warrington, over any esta-
blished or proposed line in a northern direction—the desireableness of
this project, in a na ional point of view, must, it is presumed, be ad-
mitted ; anti that it will form an important trunk line of communi-
cation, over which a larger amount of passenger traffic, agricultural,
mineral, and the manufacturing produce would pass, titan any other
line of the same length in the kingdom. The advantage which this
project offers to the public will be sufficiently apparent, without fur-
ther comment.
The liability of each shareholder will be restricted to the amount
of the shares taken; and power will be applied for in the Bill to
