BANKERS.
Messrs. Glyn and Co., 67, Lombard-street, London.
The Birmingham Banking Company, Birmingham.
The Leicestershire Banking Company at Leicostor, Atherstono,
Hinckley, and Ashby de la Zouch.
Messrs. Jones, Lloyd, and Co., Manchester.

The Burton-upon-Trent and Uttoxeter Banking Company, at Burton-
upon-Trent and Uttoxeter.
This line of railway will commence at or near to the Trent Valley
station at Atherstone, and pass by Snarestone, Measham, Ashby-de-
la-Zouch, and Burton-upon-Trent, to a junction with the Churnet
Valley portion of the North Staffordshire Railway, near Tutbury,
with a branch on or near to the line of the Ashby de la Zouch Canal,
by Market Bosworth and Hinckley to the Leicester and Birmingham
Railway.
This line will form the shortest and most direct route from Man-
chester to London. It will also bring the valuable coal fields of
Moira and Ashby Woulds into direct and immediate communication
with the southern and western markets, by means of the Trent
Valley, Midland, and Churnet Valley districts of the North Stafford-
shire Railways. It will also give to the important town of Burton-
upon-Trent, and the populous country to the north and west, con-
venient access to this disrict.
Another principal feature of the line is, to supply railway com-
munications to the established mineral baths at Moira and Ashby
de la Zouch, and to the inhabitants of the latter town and neigh-
bourhood. _

y~l
t will also afford an outlet to the extensive trade and fabrics of
the Leicestershire and Derbyshire Potteries. It will also, by a short
branch, have access to the Leicester and Swannington Railway and
coal field. _ _ .

Another local advantage will be the supply of limo to extensive
agricultural districts by this line from the quarries of Ticknall, Cloud
Hill, and Bredon. _ . .

With these various sources of traffic, the absence of competing
lines, and the unusual facilities in the character of the country for
the construction of a railway—xi* considerable work being required,
and the gradients being peculiarly favourable for the working of the
line, and the opening of the shortest route between Manchester and
Landon—there is a certain prospect of a more than ample return for
the capital.

A plan and prospectus will be issued in the course of a few days,
and in the meantime applications for Shares, with proper references,
may be made to S. S. Baxter, Esq., solicitor, Atherstene.
