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,
Teen, Uttoxeter, Tutbury, 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 tract 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 Potteries by way of Longton, Lane End, Stoke-upon-Trent,
and Newcastle-under-Lyne, to Crewe and Nantwich, uniting at
Crewe with the numerous railways centering there, and joining at
Nantwicb 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 Is the project, comprising the best parts of the old and well-
known " Manchester South Union" Scheme, which, in the year 1836,
elicited from a Committee of the House of Commons 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 frem Manchester, Stockport,
and Macclesfield, to London (by Rugby), and from Derby (and the
towns northward) to Loudon, than any other line now 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, 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
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.
Applications for Shares may be addressed to the Solicitors ; or to
the following Sharebrokers, viz.:—Messrs. Tucker, Barnett, and Co.,
Messrs. Barry and Co., or Mr. D. B. Major, London ; Messrs. Earp
and Son, and Messrs. Cuff and Fox, Derby ; Messrs. Schole,s and Hors-
fall, Messrs. Fletcher and Sharp, or Mr. John Greaves, Liverpool ;

RUGBY, DERBY, AND MANCHESTER
RAILWAY.
Provisionally registered pursuant to 7 and 8 Viet. c. 1 le.
This Railway will commence at the Rugby station of the London
and Birmingham Railway, and will' proceed in nearly a straight
line to Derby, using so much of the Leicester and Swannington Rail-
way as lies in its course.
From thence it will proceed to Buxton, there forming a junction
with the Manchester , Buxton, Matlock, and Midland Railway.
The proposed railway will form a direct continuation of the London
and Birmingham Railway, to Manchester, and thus supersede the
necessity of any direct Manchester and London Railway, as the dis-
tance to London by this route will be as short as by either of the pro-
posed direct Manchester and Lond, n Railways.
It will also establish the shortelt direct communication between
Derby and London, Sheffield and London, and between all the towns
on the North Midland Railway and London.
The Manchester, Derby, and Rugby Railway will open a direct
communication between Manchester and Derby, and will considerably
shorten the distance between Manchester and Nottingham and Man-
chester and Leicester.
The line from Derby to Rugby will establish the direct communi-
cation from that town to London, which has been so long considered
desirable by the inhabitants.
The same will apply to Sheffield, when the Sheffield and Chester-
field branch of the North Midland Railway is made.
The support of the London and Birmingham, the North Midland,
and Manchester and Liverpool Railways, may be expected for
this line.
Communications may be addressed to the Company's Solicitor,

This important national undertaking was brought forward in the
autumn of last year, and was suspended from want of sufficient time
to comply with the standing orders of the Houses of Parliament;
but, duricg the period that it existed, very large number of shares
from influential persons were applied for, and it received eminent
public support.
It will commence at King's-cross, near the north end of Gray's
Inn-road, and pass round Muswell 11111, through or adjacent to
g, Market Harborough, Lei-
cester, Barnet, Chipping Barnet, St. Alban's, Luton, suane, Ampt-
hill, Bedford, Wellingborough, Ketterin

cester, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leek, Mac-
clesfield, and Stockport, to Manchester, with a branch from the line
between Cheadle and Uttoxeter, through Stoke and the Staffordshire
Potteries to Crewe.
This railway has not been pillaged from the prospectuses of any
other undertaking, nor have the labours of any other person been
appropriated to eke out a fancy scheme. It was originally planned
by Mr. George Remington in 1836, and in 1840 and 1841 this gentle-
lespecte the Valleys of the Dove, Der-
man surveyed the ground, and tookd the sections between London and
Leicester, and personally
went, and Churnet, with a view to obtain a great trunk line between
the most important termini theiH . empire. Manchester, the centre

a patch of new
Public opinion, the sentiments of eminent statesmen and engi-
neers, and the wants of the commercial world, have for some time
pointed out the necessity of a direct independent line. The circum-
stance alone of other lines in this direction being now advertised,
which have been announced since this undertaking originated, is a
convincing proof of the feeling so generally entertained.
This is not all. Looking to the map of England, it will be per-
ceived that the nearest route to Edinburgh is through the very centre
of the kingdom, by Manchester; and, from the obstructions of the
Firths of Forth and Tay, Carlisle and Manchester must necessarily
be points in the Intercommunicarion between London and Glasgow,
and the North and North east of Scotland. Whenever the Northern
ve
railways are complete, a very greteatii,lassenger traffic, as well as the
goods at present brought by rpool from Glasgow, will be
a
added to the present amount, and the necessity of greater expedition,
certainty, and accommodation, will be felt to be more pressing.

Already, item the vast increase. ofa business, the Midland lines have
obtained an amount of goods ana

If, then, from various causes, such as the continuous increasing
the junc on of many new railways projected
traffic on the eon lines—
and in formati—the approach ng completion of the Scottish and
Northern lines—the Progression of railway communication in Ireland,
evate to general accommodation ; there can
new and immense sources of traffic will be necessarily poured in on
lines indirect and inad
be no objection on public grounds to the construction of a direct line
between London and Manchester. On the contrary, every reason
for its energetic support.
From Leicester to Bedford and London, it will intersect a rich,
populous, and fertile country, at present without railway communi-
cation to London, while northwards of Leicester it will pass through
important mineral and mining districts, and the coal and other natu-
ral productions of Derbyshire and Staffordshire will be immediately
available for the population along the whole line.
From a point in the Tean Valley, near Cheadle, it is intended to
carry a branch railway through the Staffordshire Potteries to Crewe,
by way of Lane-end, Stoke-upon-Trent, Hanley, Newcastle-under-
Lyne, Burslein, and Tunstall, so as to firm a junction with the Grand

Junction Railway, and make this railway the best communication,
not only between London and Manchester, but also between London
and Liverpool.
Many influential persons connected with the Potteries have urged
this step as the only one that will enable them to get directly and
speedily to London and Liverpool.
For seven years this large and influential district has been endea-
vouring to get a route to London ; every proposed scheme has been
rendered abortive, either by its internal insignificance or bad ma-
nagement, and become a mere article for speculation without the re-
motest adaptation to the wants of this great industrial population.
Ilad any one of the many projected schemes succeeded, it would
not bear the comparison for one moment In point of real soundness,
utility, and public benefit to the Potteries of the present undertaking.
The noulemen and gentlemen on the route have for the greater
part expressed their, unqualified support of the line, by means, of
which, and the advance of railway science, the expense of formation
will be rendered comparatively light.
It is the intentt n of the promoters, without absolutely binding
themselves, to adopt the atmospheric principle and broad gauge,
should such be approved, or to take any gauge or means that will be
economical in working and give high speed. Any ornamental pro-
perty on the line will, as far as possible, be respected.
The distance, under 177 miles, will be accomplished in about three
and a half hours, and no exertion will be spared to complete the
journey in the shortest possible time.
This line will therefore be completely independent of other lines,
making, made, or to be made ; and the delay and inconvenience
attendant on stoppages, the caprices of rival companies, &c., will be
thus avoided.

It will be the most direct, the speediest, the most economical.
And 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 utility, 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 \Tr) great remunera-
tion to shareholders.

REMINGTON'S LINE.
I4ONDON and MANCHESTER DIRECT
INDEPENDENT RAILWAY.

The acting Committee of Management cannot allow the present
opportunity to pass without congratulating the numerous friends of
this line on the further recognition, by Parliament, of the principle
of direct independent lines of railways in their decision in favour of
the preamble of the London and York project.

By order,
HENRY W. MAT'

'THEWS, Secretary.

REMINGTON'S LINE.
LONDON and MANCHESTER INDEPEN•
DENT RAILWAY, with a BRANCH through the
POTTERIES to CREWE.

The Committee of Management have the pleasure to announce, as
one instance among many of the great public advantages likely to re-
sult from the carrying out of this railway, that certain leading coal-
masters of Staffordshire have proposed to this Company, that in the
event of the line being established, they will guarantee a clear annual
profit of 50,0'01. for the conveyance of coal to the London market
alone, and they assert (though it forms no part of the present pro-
posal) that another 50,0001. per annum may be realised from other
markets. In the event of such contract being accepted, they propose
to deliver their best coals in the London market at 12s. 6d. per ton,
which would ensure to the metropolis a supply of coals at a price
most materially below the present cost.
The Committee feel it right to make this announcement, because it
is one of the early practical illustrations in proof of the great public
utility which the Committee must confidently anticipate from the
establishment of this important national project.
By order,
HENRY W. MATTHEWS, Secretary.

THE MIDLAND and EASTERN JUNCTION
BAILWAY

Provisionally Registered pursuant to 7 and 8 Vic., c. 110.
This railway is proposed to commence at Cambridge, on the
Northern and Eastern Railway, to proceed in a direct line to
Northampton, and take its course, via Fenny Compton, Stratford-
upon-Avon, and Alcester to Worcester.
By its junction with the London and York Railway near St.
Neots, the London and Birmingham near Northampton, the Oxford
and Rugby and the proposed. Oxford and Birmingham, or Warwick-
shire and London Railways, at Fenny Compton, the Warwick and
Cheltenham Railway at Stratford-upon-Avon, and the Oxford, Wor-
cester, and Wolverhampton near Worcester, this railway will con-
nect Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, and the important towns of
Yarmouth, Norwich, Ipswich, Lynn, Cambridge, with the counties
of Northampton, Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, Oxford, Warwick,
Worcester, Gloucester, ;Hereford, Somerset, and Cornwall, South
Wales, and the South of Ireland. In short this railway will com-
plete the chain of communication from the east to all parts of Eng-
land. It will also be the most direct route from London to War-
wick and Leamington, connecting a very populous district entirely
destitute of railway accommodation, opening, moreover, direct com-
munications between extensive manufacturing, mineral, and agricul-
tural districts. This line must not only he of great public and local
advantage, but also insure traffic and passengers, and goods amply
remunerative as an investment.
A prospectus, with the names of the Provisional Committee will
be published in a few days. In the meantime applications for shares,
or other information, may be made to John Chinery, Esq., So-
licitor, Leamington, and No. 3, Church-court, Old Jewry, London;

The British and Irish Union Railway Company has been recently
formed to connect with Ireland the manufacturing districts of Eng-
land, and some of the southern counties of Scotland. It is now pro-
posed to complete the connexion between Scotland and Ireland, and
supply the remaining connecting link along the Ayrshire and Gal-
loway coast, by making a line from the terminus of the Glasgow and
Ayr Railway, at Ayr, to join the British and Irish Union Railway at
or near Stranraer, all as detailed In the Prospectus already published
in this paper.
The Provisional Committee have been assured by Mr. Miller, the
engineer of the Glasgow and Ayr Line, that the Railway will be com-
pleted for less than the proposed capital.
The Directors of the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock, and Ayr Rail-
way have agreed with the Provisional Committee to take a lease of
this Railway, when completed, for 999 years, and to pay four per
cent. interest on the cost stated in the Prospectus ; and to divide
equally with this company the surplus profits, after deducting the ex-
poises of working the line at the rate of 33 1-3 per cent.
Applications for Shares, will continue to be received by the fol-
lowing Brokers :—Messrs. Charles Telford, Warnford-court, and

colunao of Ibis paper.

SCOT FISH PROVIDENT INSTITUTION,
FOR LIFE ASSURANCE and ANNUITIES.
No. 14, St. Andrew-square, Edinl,urgh.
The leading principles of this Mutual Assurance Society are :-
Ist. To charge the LOWEST PREMIUMS consistent with perfect
security, the rates being at early and middle ages, about a fourth
lower than those of other mutual o" lees.

2d. To divide the WHOLE SURPLUS among those members
from whose longer payments it has arisen ; in other words, among
those whose contributions, with accumulated interest, amount to the
sums in their Policies.

By the operation of the first of these principles, the greatest pre-
sent benefit is secured to al ; by the second, those who survive the
average duration of life will derive the greatest future contingent
advantages.

The number of Policies issued since the establishment of the
Society in 1837, is believed to exceed that of any other Scottish
office In the same period of its existence ; and 'rlie business is steadily
and rapidly increasing.
Full information as to the principles and progress of the Society,
with forms of proposal, may be had on application at the Head offs e.
