PROSPECTt.TS.
This line is intended as a connecting- ink between the Trent
Valley and Wolverhampton, Chester, and Birkenhead Junction Rail-
ways. It will commence ht Stafford, and terminate at Market
Drayton; and is essetithilly reqUisite to perfect the communication
between London, 'Chester, and Holyhead.
Though the line will not exceed thirteen miles in length, it Will
afford Immense accommodation to an important district of Stafford-
shire and Shropshire, through which it will pass; and by means of
the lines with which It is intended to Communicate, it will effect the
shortest possible route from London to- Liverpool, from London to
Birkenhead, and front London to Ireland. A saving of not less than
thirty Miles will thus be actompllsiied.
It will thus become a most important .adjalitt, to the piOposed
Wolverhampton, Chester, and Birkenlieta Junction Railway; but
the prominent feature in the' deireine is this—that by bringing
Stafford into immediate GOWUnction' with Market Drayton and
'Cheater, all the advantages of the proposed Trent Valley Continua,
tion Line to Holyhead, will be realised without the enormotta etterilite
of time 'and capital inseparable from ,the carrying out of such a
project, which, however, is impracticable.
• It is obvious that such a scheme will he of the utmost ganeral
benefit, as it will materially shorten the distance between the dlilta.l%
of England and Ireland, and tend to a still further deve4spkiltllt of the
great industrial resources of the two countries, Al an investment,
its eligibility cannot be disputed, as the feirgelng lines of railway will
be important tributaries to Its revetthb I—The London and Birming-
ham, Trent Valley, Greet Western, Birmingham, Oxford and
Brighton, .Birmingham ani Southampton, Oxford, Worcester, and
Wolverhampton, Birmingham," Dudley and Wolverhampton, Blf,
minghttm, Bristol, and Gloucester, and Grand Junction Railways.
The lines in the vicinity of Liverpool will also betorne valuable tribu-
tarled to it.

Although this line 15 proposed by a Company distinct from that of
the Wolverhampton, Cht3ttr, and Birkenhead Junction Railway, yet,
if it should be tbutid expedient and practicable, the two Companies
may be amalgamated. At all events, the shareholders in the Wol-
verhampton, Chester, and Birkenhead Company, will have the pre-
ference in the allotment.

It is intended to proceed to Parliament in the ensuing session, as
the plans and surveys are in a very forward state.

In consequence of the great number of applications for share-
in this Company which are daily received from all parts of the
country, the Provisional Directors feel it necessary to call the atten-
tion o ithe Public to the following Clause in the -Prospectus, to the
terms of which they will, in allotting the shares, be compelled most
strictly:to adhere

As, under arrangements entered into with the Lynn and Ely,
Ely and Huntingdon, and Lynn and Dereham Railway Com Panics,
a large proportion of the capital has been appropriated to the holders
of shares in those Companies, a very limited number of shares only
is at the disposal of the Provisional Directors, and no application for
shares therefore can be attended to, except from parties locally in-

GREAT GRIMSBY, SHEFFIELD, THE
POTTERIES, AND GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY.

The allusion to the meeting which took place in Manchester on the
24th of Octoi-Jer last with the Committee of the Sheffield, Buxton,
Leek, Potteries, and Crewe Railway, contained in the circular of the
3d Novtnnber, signed " G. C. Holland, Chairman," and addressed to
the ar:plicants for shares in the proposed Great Grimsby,Sheffield,
the Potteries, and Grand Junction Railway, is evidently, from the
ambiguity of Its phraseology intended to serve a particular piirpese.
The proposal for an amalgamation of the two undertakings above
named was made by the promoters of the Great Grimsby, Sheffield,
the Potteries, and Grand Junction Railway, and not by the Pro-
vlsional Directors of the Sheffield, Buxton, Leek, P, tteries, and
Crewe Railway. The latter feel that the adoption of any other course
than the one they decided upon on the 24th ult. could not have
proved2therwise than ininrious to the interest of their sharehOlders.
It Is -Rated In the circular, that negotiations are now pending, with,
every prospect of success, of a nature which must materially enhance'
the value of this undertaking; in reply to which it is sufficient to
state that, whatever the negotiations here alluded to may be, none
whatever are pending between the Sheffield, Buxton, Leek, Pot-
teries, aad Crewe, and Great Grimsby, Sheffield, the Potteries, and
Grand Junction Committees.
