The title of this line sufficiently and correctly explains the object
of the undertaking.
The Birmingham terminus will be placed in communication with
all the other rail wave having a station in that town, and will be
brought as near as practicable to its centre. Proceeding thence in a
northerly direction. and oa the west side of the Lichfield road, it will
pass within a short distance of Sutton Cold!leld, and to Lichfield, at
the latter of which 'laces there will be a tation in communication
with the projected Walsall lines.
Thence eNaaing the Trent Valley, near King's Bromley, it will
pursue the course of the Blythe Valley, or by or near to Abbots
Bromley to Leigh, where it will leave the Blythe Valley, and by a
short cutting reach the Teen station on Reming-on's London and
Manchester line at the junction of the Crewe branch, or by a junc-
tion with whichever of the projected lines to Manchester may bo
adopted by Parliament.
The entire length of the new line to be male will not exceed
thirty-four miles, and the whole will be carried over a most favour-
able country--two-thirds being a water-level.
Sections ofa great portion of the line have been made, and the en-
tire Parliamentary survey will be completed by the 9th ofOctober.
This railway will afford a route from Birmingham_ to Manchester
eleven miles shorter than by any existing or projected line. It will
also give the best and nearest ling between Iludderztleht, and Bir-
mingham.
It will also furnish a nearer and more direct route from Birming-
ham to the Potteries than any line made (3r projected by several
mile., assuming any of the projected Pottery lines to have their ter-
mini at Colwich, on the Trent Valley, or at Stafford, on the Grand
Junction Railway I thus giving to Manchester, and a:so the Pot-
teries, the shortest, easiest, and most direct route to Birmingham.
IL will also give the nearest line between Huddersfield and Birming-
ham and Southampton,
This railway crosses the projected Leeds and Huddersfield arid
Wolverhampton Direct Railway. In the Blythe Valley a station will
be placed, and communication effected, so as to afford to Birmingham
the shortest route by many miles. With Leeds, Huddersfield, Sheffield,
and the northern parts of En,dand. In allotting shares every legi-
timate preference will be given to the landholders on the I:ne.
It is obvious that the projected line will afford an ample return to
the shareholders.

For prospectuses, shares, and every information, apply to the
solicitors, W. Arnold Ilatnbrigge, Esq., Uttoxeter ; or at the 0111ces
of the Company, No. 1, Moorg ttc, London.
