it will traverse, the manufactures it will revive and support, the
quick access it presents to Plymouth and I),vonport, with a popu
lation exceeding 130,000, confidently anticipate the favourable de.
cision of the public, and the earnest and vigorous support of the
Government.

It is evi dent this line embraces all the desiderata of a grand
trunk line—viz., great public accommodation combined with safety
economy, and speed.

The Committee have much pleasure in stating that they have
received a report from their engineers which is in all respects
most satisfactory, and that the fulkst arrangemeats have been
made for applying to Parliament in the ensuing ses.ion.

PROSPECTUS.

This r tilway is intended to form a ccl:fleeting link between the
railways which, travel sing the eastern and midland counties, ap-
proach Balton; the railways which from the south approach Maccles-
field, and the railways which communicate with Warrington, Liver-
pool, Birkenhead, Lancaster, and the north, Fleetwood-upon-Wyre,
and Bolton.
Commencing at Buxton, it will pass by a route which, from actual
survey by the Company's Engineer, has been reported perfectly
practicable for locomotive power, through the popu!ous and thriving
manufacturing district of Bolllngton to Presthury. where it will form
a junction with the Maeclestleld branch of the Manchester and Bir-
mingham Railway, thereby completing a connexloon with the popit-
lens boroughs of Macclesfield on the one hand, anu Stockport on the
other ; thence passing through Handiorth and Wilmslow to Altrin-,
cbam, it will there avail itself of a communication with Manchester,
by the Altrincham and Manchester branch of the Manchester and
Birmingham Railway, and with Warrington and Stockport, either
by independent brane es, or by some of the newly-projected lines,
e- may be arranged. It will then proceed to the Liverpool and
Manchester Railway, at a point of communication betwaen lie, yon
Junction and l'arkside, and thus complete, 1y means of the exiting
railways, the communication with Bolton, Lancaster, and the north,
and with Fleetwood and Liverpool.
The great advantages of this communication between the south
east,rn and north-western districts of England, will be evident by a
coret-ry view of the map. It will be the most direct line from Not-
tinghamshire, South Yorkshire, Derbyshire, and the adjoining dis-
tricts, to the north-western parts of England (north of Chester), and
must command a considerable thorough traffic. It will also open a
communication with the salt districts of Cheshire.

The length of the railway and branches will be about 36 miles.
There aro no engii,eering difficulties, save in that portion of the
line which lies between Buxton and Millington, and the report of the
enginuer thereon is very satisfactory.

The directors are happy to say, that there are no residential proper-
ties interfered with ; that the line will be heartily concurred in by the
landowners ; and that the country through which it passes is thickly
inhabited, and would afford a revenue independent of the thorough
traffic.

The plans are In a state of forwardness, and will be in readiness
to be lodged, in conformity with the standing orders of Parliament.
A considerable portion of the capital Is reserved for landed pro-
prietors and those locally luterested.
Powers will be applied Ibr In the Act, to authorise the payment of
4/. per cent. interest on the culls, until the completon of the line.
Until the Act is obtained, no shareholder is liable further than the
amount of deposit, and afterwards, no further than the capital sub-
scribed.

The Acting Committee of Provisional Directors will have full
power, until the Act is obtained, to make any modification and altera-
tion in the proposed increase or diminish the amount of ca-
pital—to abandon any portion of the line or bfanehes—to propose
and apply for any aduitional branches, and generally, to enter into
any arrangements with any other company or companies, which, to
such Acting Committee, may appear reasonable or advisable.
Application for Shares may be addressed to the Sdicitkrs; or to
