Ina treot contro of traffic

for the mineral and manufacturing districts of South Staffordshire,
shropshire, and North and South Wales. This proposed line does
not interfere with any existing railways, and presenting, as it does,
an unbroken line between two great centres of traffic, the importance
of the undertaking needs no further comment.
Negotiations have bean entered into with the Eastern COUR-
ties Railway Company, by which their support and co-operation will
be ensured for obtaining the line now proposed.
An arrangement has also been made with the proposed Rugby,
Warwick, and Worcester Company, which this line will join at Al-
cester, and by means of which the Eastern Counties' traffic will pro-
ceed to Worcester.
Power will be reserved to the Directors to amalgamate with any
other existing or projecting Companies, or to vary the line.
Appll,:ation for shares may be made to the Secretary, and to the
following Sharebrokers, .of whom prospectuses, with maps of the
line. may be obtained :—London—Messrs. Peppercorn and Co., 2,

- • PROSPECTUS.

The Direct London and Liverpool Railway is also. a Direct Liver

pool and Birmingham Railway
•It uses the London and Birmingham Railway the whole distance
to Birmingham. From thence it proceeds to Wolverhampton either
on the Grand Junction, or on the Wolverhampton, Dudley and Bir-
mingham Railway.
From Wolverhampton commences the new portion of railway,
consisting of 55 miles only, and passing through Newport and Whit-
church, on to Chester, •
At Chester the Direct London and Liverpool Railway proceeds
on the Chester and Birkenhead Railway to Birkenhead

It is Proposed to e; ttablish at Birkenhead a: steam ferry gratis to
Liverpool ac: oss the 1, tersey, so as to unite both towns into one.
This railway has the .advantage of passing through the towns on
its route, without maternity increasing the distance.
The principle of the Direct London and Liverpool Railway, as in
the case of the Rugby, Derby and Manchesterßailway, is to obtain a
direct through line ketwean some of the most populous districts in
the kingdom, with the leas t possible, and consequently the smallest
expenditure of capital,
The Direct London and 17,iverpool Railway opens up an entirely
new district, at the same tim a that it interferes but slightly with ex-
isting railway interests.
The maps, plans, estimates, and other documents required by the
standing orders of Parliament, will be lodged with theparish clerks,
the clerks of the peace for the counties, and the Parliamentary
offices, on the 24th day of November, being six days within the timq
required by the regulations of Parliament.
A preference in the allotment of hares will be given to the extent
of 15,000, to the original shareholders in the Rugby, Derby, and
Manchester Railway Company, on their sending in their applications
for the same.
A proper reservation of shares will be made for the London and
Birmingham, Chester and Birkenhead. and Warwickshire Railways,
being the railways by means of which the project now submitted to
the public is the most direct London and Liverpool railway that can
be made.
As the applications are exceedingly numerous, a very early day
will be made for closing the lists.
In the meantime, applications for shares may be addressed to the
Solicitors, or any of the agents of the Company in the following
form :
