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

(Provisionally Registered.)
The object of this railway is to open a direct communication from
the Staffordshire Potteries northwards with Liverpool, Manchester,
and the north of England, Scotland, and southward with Bristol,
London,' and the south of England. The line will commence at
Stafford, and proceed through the heart of the Potteries, giving
the best and most ample accommodation to Stoke Longton, New-
castle. Stoke Hanley, Itnrslem, and the whole of the Pottery district,
whence it will pass betwixt Congleton and Sandbach, through
Knutsford direct to Altrincham, where it will join the South Junction
Railway to Manchester, an Act for which has been obtained. A
branch northwards, from the Potteries to Crewe, will connect the
line with Chester and Birkenhead; and branches from Knutsford on
the one hand, through Northwich t• Preston Brook, and on the other
to the Cheadle station of the Manchester and itirminghani Railway,
will open a communication between the Salt districts and the Pot-
teries, Liverpool, Hull, and the eastern ports of England.
The advantages of this railway will be very great to a largo and
most important extent of country, hitherto totally unprovided with
railway communication, and will be more fully detailed in a future
Prospectus, which, with Maps and the names of an influential pro-
visional Directory, will be issued with as little delay as possibl,. The
surveys and estimates are in the course of completion, and no parks
or ornamentals grounds will be interfered with.
Parties interested in the undertaking may communicate with the
solicitors, M.s•rs., J. and T. Roscoe, Knutsford; and W. Burdett,
Esq., Manchester.
16th July, 1845.

Further notice will be given of the several places to which the
'Deeds will afterwards be forwarded for Signature.

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 salvia& not only of expense, but also of time and dis-
tance.

Present route from Cheltenham to Oxford by rallwsy is via (Bon.
tester, 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 WM:Ley to introduce steam power
into their factories by opening a communication with the Forest
of Dean and Staffordshire coal-fields.
7th. As to traffic—

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 Valentia.
_ .

2. A large traffic from the carrying of coal from the Staffordshire
at, d Forest cf Dean coal-fields not now existing will be created.
3. Pitney, a manufacturing town in the centre of the line, Is of
considerable extent and trade, and pays annually a very large sum
for haulage and tonnage, 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.

This short but important railway will be the means of pladne
these two populous and opulent towns in immediate connexion. The
great accommodation such a line wi 1 afford, and the peculiar advan-
tages which its locality possesses, offer rntyst unusual inducements for
its formation. Besides afforling a direct railway communication
between these towns, it will accommodate a large and increas-
ing local traffic, comprising the whole agricultural produce of this
important district of the county of Kent ; and looking at the general
traffic 'which this line will exclusively command, there is no question
that it will afford an ample return on the capital invested.
The entire length of the railway will be about 16 wiles. Pre-
liminary surveys have already been made,
and the line presents 110
engineering difficulties,
nor are there any works involving great
expense.

This Company is established under an Act of the Parliament of
Canada, 8 Vic. c. 25, royal assent 17th of March, 1845, for the pur-
pose of forming a Railroad from the city of Montreal, the capital of
that important colony, through the most populous and fertile part of
Canada East, via Sherbrooke, in connexion with a railroad to be con-
structed from the city of Portland, on the Atlantic Ocean, and which
connects it by an existing railroad with Boston.
This line of Railway, while it gives important advantages, not
only to the provinces, but to the community at large, at the same
time promises a safe and remunerStive investment for capital.
The present communications with Canada are either by the long
and uncertain navigation of the River St. Lawrence, entirely ob-
structed by ice during six months of the year; or by the tedious land
journey across from New York or Boston, the shortest of which ex-
ceeds 330 miles of mixed stage and steam conveyance, and can
be used for passengers only. Whilst by the construction of this rail-
road, an unithrm and cheap route from the Atlantic, not exceeding
240 miles in length, will be established, available at all seasons of
the year, and forming the connecting link between the Ocean and the
vast chain of canal and lake navigation westward of Montreal.
By Acts lately passed by the Congress of the United States, British
goods are permitted to pass through their territory, under bond, and
by treaty the Canadian mail is transmitted from Boston overland to
Montreal. Under these arrangements this railroad will be at once
the shortest, easiest, and cheapest communication that can be opened
for passengers, as well as for the carriage of the more valuable Bri-
tish manufactures, West India produce, and various foreign goods,
now imported by the St. Lawrence, or sent in by the long and expen-
sive route from New York to Montreal.
To this country, as well as to the numerous emigrants who proceed
yearly to Canada, it must be ever an object to have their conununi-
cations accelerated and improved. This railroad will bring Montreal
within a few hours' travel of the excellent and spacious harbours of
Psi tland and Boston, ever open, and only ten or twelve days by
steam from Great Britain, avoiding altogether the hazardous navi-
gation of the Gulf and River St. Lawrence.
The Act of Incorporation has already been obtair ed, whereby all
preliminary expenses are saved, and one-sixth of the capital required
has already been subscribed by persons of the first standing, as re-
spects intelligence, influence, and property, in the colony, thus
affording the strongest guarantee of the confidence there entertained
in the project.
From the point of junction with the railroad to Portland, arrange-
ments arc now in progress &Ina the assurance that no delay will
arise in carrying out the charter granted to parties In the United
States, for the construction of that part of the work.
The whole line has been carefully surveyed by experienced engi-
neers; its practicability fully demonstrated, no tunnelling being re-
quired throughout the whole distance, and the cost of construction
in the most permanent manlier, including purchase of land, and ex-
penses of cvi,ry other description is estimated, will not exceed
450,000/. sterling ; being under 4,0001. per mile for 120 miles of single
line, being the distance in the province to be constructed by this
Company. And it may be remarked that forty miles, of which
twenty-two are of a maximum grade of eight feet to the mile, may
be in operation by the latter end of next summer, at an estimated
cost not exceeding 100,000/. sterling, which part adjoins .Montreal,
and will, it is not doubted, immediately yield a profitable return.
The traffic returns obtained from the colony, deduced Brom actual
sources, after the most careful investigation, and framed exclusive of
Sunday traffic, on which day it is only proposed that the requisite
mail train should travel, show a present expected Income of 95,600/.
currency, equal to 79,8331. sterling, when remitted to England,
while the expenses of working the railroad, estimated by similar
works in the United States, will not exceed 30,000/. sterling per
annum.

It may, therefore, be safely concluded, that the annual surplus of
income over expenditure will, at its completion, amount to about
50,000/. sterling, or equal to ten per cent. on the capital subscribed;
while the Proprietors have the certainty that, in a country whose
resources are daily becoming so enlarged and developed, this rail-
road, forming the principal highway to the extensive and fertile
regions bordering on the great lakes, comprehending Western Ca-
nada, the States of New York, Ohio, Nlichigan, and Wisconsin, and
being the trunk to which local branches will from time to time be-
come united, must steadily and greatly increase in productiveness.
It will flirther be observed that, from the position in which this
Company stands, it is prepared to commence operations immediately
on the capital being subscribed ; the instalment required wilt be im-
mediately expended on the work.
The Act of Parliament having been obtained in Canada, and the
Company being already established, registration under the 7th and
Bth Vic., c. 110, is not ne•essary ; nor are parties required to sign a
Parliamentary contract, as in the case of English companies.
Prospectuses may be obtained from, and applications for Shares in
the annexed &I'm, addressed, until the 21st of July, to
A. T. Gait, Esq., the agent from Canada, 19, Coleman-street,
