This Company has been formed for the purpose of making a rail
way between Derby and Crewe through the Potteries, thus com-
pleting the chain of communication by an almost direct line between
the Midland and Eastern Counties and the Potteries, Liverpool and
Ireland.
The proposed line is intended to leave Derby on the south, passing
near to Etwall and crossing the Dove at Tutbury, to continue through
the valley of that river to ITttoxeter ; it will then proceed by the
intervening valleys, by Longton and Lane End to Stoke in the heart
of the Potteries, and thence to Crewe ; the last-link (from Stoke to
Crewe) is intended to he supplied by the Grand Junction Potteries
Branch.—The line will thus traverse a district at present totally
without railway accommodation, and (except far a portion of it) not
included in any other project.
A preliminary view has been taken, and the line presents no
engineering difficulties of importance.
The line is proposed to be taken in such a direction as to avoid
objections by gentlemen having residences near it, and the land-
owners generally.

The saving of distances between the places proposed to be thus
connected will be as follows :

The traffic thus opened for the manufactures of the Potteries, and
the extensive mills and works throughout the Staffordshire portion of
the line, is of a highly remumerating character, and capable of large
development of General Traffic also, and especially in Corn, Malt,
Coal, Clay, Lime, Slates, and Plaster, the amount has been ascer-
tain to he considerable ; and it may he added that by the existing
and projected lines branching westward from Crewe, this line will
afford a direct and most useful communication between the Midland
Counties and the mineral districts of North Wales.
An arrangement has been with the Grand Junction Com-
pany, whereby their friendly co-operation has been secured, and they
have agreed to contribute one-third of the required capital.
One-half of the required number of shares will be reserved for
landowners and parties locally interested, and the remainder (which
the Committee take this opportunity of observing, will necessarily be
of very limited amount) will be allotted to parties giving unexcep-
tionable references, and the Provisional Committee announce that the
number of shares alloted to any member of their body shall in no
case exceed two hundred.

Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at 4/. per sent. per
annum on all deposits and calls, from time of payment until the
opening of the line.
