PRELIMINARY. PROSPECTUS.
The object proposed by this railway is, as well to supply the wants
of the district through which it passes, as to complete the chain of
railway communication between the eastern and midland counties
and the 'western district, including the whole of North and South
Wales.

The country embraced by this line Ls of the richest description, and
hickly populated.

By means of this, and the 'existing and protected lines of railway,
the whole of the ports in the eastern and north-eastern counties, in-
cluding the manufaCturlng city of Norwich, and towns of Leicester,
Nottingham, Sheffield,-Leeds, and the whole of Yorkshire will be
brought in direct communication with _the mineral districts of
North and South Wales, the salt district of Droitwich, and the
river Severn.

The promoters of this line submit to the public, as a most import-
ant consideration, the abating of those causes of loss and inconveni-
ence which, along.the line of country over which this railway will
pass, arc experienced from water carriage being from necessity at
present a principal mode of transit for heavy goods and merchandise,
and which, in the winter season, is productive of the most evil con-
sequences to those engaged in commerce.
A manifest advantage to the Shareholders will be the extent of traffic
which will be secured and appropriated by the present undertaking,
in lieu of that which hitherto has been engrossed by the more
dilatory course of water carriage.
As a public advantage to the inhabitants generally of the
above-mentioned districts, the promoters submit that the equa-
lisation in prices of the produce and merchandise which the
opening of this line of railway is calculated to produce Is of the high-
est importance, and one of the principal benefits which this and Other
similar undertakings are alone capable of producing.
The proposed line will commence at Rugby, the terminus of the
Midland Counties and Trent Valley Ralways, and also of the pro-
posed Rugby and.Huntingdon Junction Railway, and proceed from
thence near to the toWns of Leamington, Warwick, and Alcester, and
end at the City of Worcester. At Worcester this line will form a
junction with the several Welsh railways, the Shrewsbury, Wor-
cester, and Crewe Railway, and the Oxford, Worcester, and Wol-
verhampton Railway.•

At Warwick it 117;11 unite with the Birmingham and Oxford Junc-
tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Len-
don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway.
And at Rugby with the London and Birmingham, the Midland
Counties, and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railway.
To the inhabitants of Rugby as well as to those of the Midland,
Eastern, and Northern Counties this line will afford a direct com-
munication with the fashionable towns of Leamington and Chelten-
ham, as well as the whole of the Western Counties.
To the inhabitants of Leamington and Warwick it will give a
direct communication with the City of Worcester and North and
South Wales, now so much needed.

And to the inhabitants of Worcester, in addition to providing the
nearest route to London via Warwick, it will be an outlet to the
Eastern Counties and ports, and afford great facilities for the increase
of the manufretorics now carried on in that city.
The whole of the country has during the present month, August,
1845, been most carefully surveyed by the engineers, and they report
it to be free from engineering (liilleulty, and well adapted for a rail-
way; and the provisional Directors entertain no doubt that the

_
line will be made under the average rate of expense-incident to
similar undertakings, and, from the statistics in their possession,
that the traffic will affonl an ample return for the capital invested.
The line will not interfere with • any ornamental property, and the
landowners are favourable to the undertaking.
The Shareholders in the several Railways proposed to be Joined or
intersected will have a preference in the allotment of shares in this
undertaking.

No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the Act is
obtained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at 41. per
antum on all calls, from the time of their respective payments, and
to limit the liability of the Shareholders to the amonut of their sub-
rcrlptions..

The Directors reserve power to themselves to amalgamate with
any existing or projected line of railway ; to vary the route ; to
make all desirable extensions; and to increase the capital as may be
advisable or necessary.
Prospectuses, with a Plan, will be published in a few days,
and may then be obtained on application to the several solicitors,
and to any of the following share brokers, viz., Messrs. Peppercorne
and Co., 2, Old Broad-street; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39, Loth-
bury, London ; Messrs. Payne and Freer, Leicester ; Messrs. Alston
and Gage, Liverpool ; Messrs. Freeman and Son, Northampton ; Mr.
John Duncan, Manchester ; .Messrs. George Edwards and Son, Bris-
