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,
Tean, 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 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-Lyme, to Crewe and Nantwich, 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 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 from Manchester, Stockport,
and Macclesfield, to London (by Rugby), and from Derby (and the
towns northward) to London, than any other line now before the
public.
It will unite Manchester with Derby, Nottingham, Leicester, and

the whole of the Midland and Eastern bounties:
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, Teen, 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-
meat 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 other 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 it.

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.

These two lines of railway will be mutually beneficial ; and they
both stand in the happy situation that no opposition line can well be
contrived to affect their traffic. _

The local adVLi;ges of the railway now proposed are duly appre-
ciated by the landowners generally, through whose estates the lines
will pass, and the necessary land for the railway will be acquired by
the Company at little cost.
The Glasgow and Belfast Union Railway Win secure to Edinburgh,
Glasgow, and the rest of Scotland, the speediest intercourse with Ire-
land, and the shortest sea passage between the two countries (a pas-
sage, with good steamers, of less than an hour and a half ), and at
the same time will open up railway communication from Glasgow,
Ayr, Girvan, and the whole manufacturing and mineral districts of
Ayrshire, to the great natural harbour of Lochryan.
The local traffic from the rich and improving county of Wigton,
and the transport of coal along the line for the supply of that county,
will be very considerable ; and when the Railway now proposed is
formed, a large portion of the traffic from Ireland to Glasgow, Edin-
burgh, and the north and west of Scotland, will also pass along the
line. The immense and rapidly increasing trade of Glasgow and
Belfast gives assurance of the traffic between those two places being
great and profitable. The ceunty of Ayr, through which chiefly the
proposed Railway will pass, Is unusually rich in mineral and agricul-
tural produce, and manufactures : and along this line, these will be
carried to the shipping ports of Ayr, Girvan, Ballantrae, and
Lochryan.
The entire length of the line will be about Afty-four miles. The
Railway is proposed to pass through the flat country, south of Ayr—
along the vale of Girvan, through which it will proceed to, or near
the manufacturing town and shipping port of Girvan—and thence in
the best line to, Lochryan, and Stranraer, the most populous town in
Galloway.
The Provisional Committee have been assured by Mr. Miller, the
cngirieer 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-
ivay 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-
penses of working the line at the rate of 33 1-3 per cent.
It is provided by the Act 8 Victoria, c. 17, that no Shareholder
shall be liable for payment of any debt or demand due, or to become
due by the Company, beyond the extent of his share in the capital of
the Company.

The proposed line is one expressly contemplated by the Report of
the Board of Trade of the 20th of March last.
The objects to be effected by the proposed measure will be the
following:-
Ist. The greatest possible accommodation to the public.
2d. To preserve and enhance the value of property as it at pre-
sent exists.
3d. The shortest and most practicable railway communication
between Oxford, Witney, Cheltenham, and Gloucester, thence
to London and the eastern and south-eastern districts of England.
4th. To construct the line at the least possible cost, but in such a
manner as to attract a traffic from all lines now existing, or which
hereafter may be constructed at either end of it.
sth. The adoption of the double gauge, thereby affording the great
advantage of passing from this to all other contiguous railways,
whether constructed on the broad or narrow gauge.
_ '

6th. A great saving, not only of expense, but also of time and dis-
tance.

Present route from Cheltenham to Oxford by railway is via Glou-
cester, Stroud, Swindon, and Didcot, to Oxford 78 miles
By the proposed Line • • • • .. .. 41 miles

Effecting a Saving in distance of • • • • • • • • 37 miles
To enable the manufacturers of Witney to introduce steam power
into their factories by opening a communication with the Forest
of Dean and Staffordshire coal-fields.
7th. As to traffio—

1., This Railway forms a through trunk line, commanding the
inter-communication and traffic between the south and south-east
parts of England, South Wales and Ireland, and to a great extent of
America ; also on the formation of the intended lines from Dublin
and Galway, and Wexford and Valentin.
2. A large traffic from the carrying of coal from the Staffordshire
and Forest of Dean coal-fields not now existing will be created.

3. Witney, a manufacturing town in the centre of the line, is of
considerable extent and trade, and pays annually a . very large sum
fdr haulakeandionnage, which must necessarily be increased.
4. In other respects much traffic will flow from the carriage of
timber, salt, slates, cattle, and other commercial and agricultural
commodities.

Applications for Prospectuses containing fuller details, and fur Shares,

The Act for the formation of the Wilts and Bomerset Railway
having passed the Legislature, the Directors of the present under-
taking propose to take up that line at Salisbury, and join it by a direct
Railway communication of twenty-one miles on the broad gauge,
with the important town and port of Southampton. The line has
been carefully surveyed by experienced parties, and as it presents
no engineering or other difficulties (the chief landowners being most
favourably disposed towards it) the Directors have the fullest con-
fidence that the estimates for its construction, &c., will not be ex-
ceeded, while the statistics of traffic are so abundant, both through
and local, (a detailed statement of which may be seen at the office),
as to leave no doubt on the minds of the Directors that a most sa-

tisfactory dividend will be realised, to arise from the large number of
passengers that must embark and disembark at Southampton, to and
from the East and West Indies, the Mediterranean, France, the
Southern States of Europe, the Channel Islands, Isle of Wight, &c.,
as well as the large supplies of iron, coal, slate, stone for building,
flour, grain, and merchandise, constantly required to be transported
to, and received at Southampton, either for use there, for exporta-

tion, or for the consumption in that part of the interior of the country
traversad by the number of railways in connexion with, or springing
from, the present line.
The route of the proposed line will pass through commons and
lands of little value ; it will proceed from the station of the Wilts,
Somerset, and Weymouth Railway, at Fisherton Anger, and proceed
by or near to Downton, Plaitford, over llampworth and East Willow
Commons, by Liramshaw to Redbridge, taking the line of the old
Canal at Millbrook, and crossing the Mudlands to the Royal Pier,
Southampton, contiguous to which, and on the present waste shore.
it is proposed to erect a spacious Terminus, the cost of Which is in-
cluded in the estimate.

It is also proposed to place the Railway in communication with the
royal Pier and Town Quays, so that the convenience of loading and
unloading on the line may be secured.
A certain number of Shares will be reserved for the Proprietors
of the Wilts and Somerset Railway.
Appl,cations for Share•, according to the annexed form, may be
addressed to the respective Solicitors, or to the Secretary, at the
Offices of the Company, No. 26, Gresham-street ; or to the following
