The ma'n line of this important undertaking will commence at the
abrupt termination of the :Macclesfield branch of the Manchester and
Birmingham Railway at 3lacclestleld, 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 courie the towns of Leek, Cheadle,
Tean, Uttoxeter, Tun-airy, and Burton-upon-Trent, the coal-fields
and Potteries of Swadlincote and Gresley. and the baths and coal-
fields of Moira, the whole of which wealthy and important trgct of
country (with the exception of the town of Burton) is wholly destitute
of railway accommodation.
From Teen it is intended to construct a branch through the Staf-
fordshire Pote ries by way of Longten, Lane End, Stoke-upon-Trent,
and Newcastle-under-Lynee to Crewe- and Nantwich, uniting at
Crewe stritle the numerous railways . centering there, and joining at
Nuetwich the railway about to be formed by the conversion of the
Ellesmere and Chester, and Birmingham and Liverpool Junction
Canals.
It is also intended to construct a branch from the main line, at or
near Tutbury to Derby.
Such .8 the prefect, comprising the best parts of the old and well-
known " Manchester South Union" Scheme, which, in the year 1836,
elicited from a Committee id the House of Commune the most un-
qualified expressions of approval, and which an inspection of the map
of the country will show to be highly desirable, indeed almost indis-
pensable for the public interest.
, It Will open a shorter communication from Manchester, Stockport,
end Macclesfield, to London (by Rugby), and from Derby (and the
towns northward) to London, than any other line now belore 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-non-
Trent, the most direct communication with the Staffordshire Potteries,
Crewe, ('heater, Runcorn, Liverpool, ay.() the new Docks at Birken-
head, as well as with North Wales and Ireland.
Be its means the towns of Leak, Cheadle, Tean, t'ttoxeter, Tut-
bury, and the serreunding country, will receive, for the first time, the
benefits of railway communication, and the rich and extensive coal
fields of Iliddulph, Poynton, Adlington," Cheadle, Gresley, Swadlin-
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, as well as to the interest and accommodation of the
The Committee desire to add, that in presenting, in its present
shape, their'compirte and -ernopeeheneive scheme ndependently of
any ,ther Railway 'tot actually tOrmed, or now under tile consideration
of Parliament, thy are not influenced by a wis:l to supplant other
parties who may haves 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 o allow interest at the rate of 41.
per cent. per annum on all deposits and calls until the opening of the
Line.

This line will commence at Liverpool, and run thence, by the
coast, through Litherland, Crosby, and Formby, to Southport, from
which latter
w vantagelicrohlatt
erpla
ofconnecting
it will proceed to Preston ; thus combining the
w Liverpool with Preston, and at the
same time opening a direct railway communication between each of
those towns and Southport.
In addition to these important objects, it is intended, by means of
a branch railway, to aff .rd the shortest anal best route front Man-
chester,.ltolton, Wigan, and the adjtining manufacturing districts to
Southport, which the nature of the country will admit. This branch
will also be made to accommodate Ormskirk.
The high character which Southport enjoys as a watering place is
sufficiently attested, as well by the unanimous voice of all medical
men acquainted with the locality, a. by the mass of visitors which,
despite of the distance, and the present very difficult means of access,
annually flock to it front Manchester and other manufacturing
districts ; and if such be the case under the existing disadvantages,
it is obvious that the influx visitors will be immensely increased
by the accomolishment of this project, which will bring Southport
within half an hour's distance from Liverpool and Preston, within
little more titan an ho r's distance from the dense population of
Manchester and Ps neighbourhood, and within easy access of the
n.merous and important districts with which those towns are con-
nected by means of other railways.
The through traffic upon the railway will also be very considerable.
and will be still thrther lecreased by the opening of the numerous
t roject.li railways to which Liverpool or Preston will form the com-
mon terminus.
The country through which the greater pa t of the line will pass
present, extraordinary facilities for the coestruction of a railway.
and it has seen estimated that the expense of the whole line, be-
tween 't.iverpool and Preston, will not excf ed 8,00,,/. per mile.
Looking at the p oject in the point of view above presented, and
taking into consideration the peculiar nature of the country which it
will V•averse, the ease and cheapness of its construction, the support
extended to it by influential landowners, and the total absence of all
engineerine, difficulties. it Is almost impossible to overvalue the im-
portance of this undertaking, or the advantages it presents as a weans
of investment.
