The object of this railway is to provide the best and most direct
communication between Stockport- and Warrington and thence to
Liverpool, which latter object will be effected by means of this rail-
way in conjunction with the extension of their line about to be made
by the Grand Junction Railway Company from Warrington.
At Stockport the line will communicate with the Manchester and
Birmingham Railway and the branch from Stockport to Ashton,
thereby affording to the manufacturing population of °Stockport and
its vicinity, and to all the densely populated district intersected by
the. Sheffield and Manchester Railway, the most direct approach to
Liverpool.
There will be a Junction near Altrincham with the Manchester
South. Junction and Altrincham Railway.
Airingements have been- made with the Board of the St. Helens
Railway Company, which will enhance the value of the proposed
o Chester and Bir-
line, and negotiations are in progress for giving t
kenhead an excellent communication.
The Grand Junction Railway Company have . agreed' to provide a
portion of the capital, and to promote the formation of this fine by
every means in their power.
The line will follow the Valley of the Mersey, and presents no
engineering difficulties ; the gradients are extremely, good ; the works
are unusually light; little or no ornamental or valuable property
ocal
will
be interfered with ; and the project is strongly supported by l
influence.
Applications for Shares must be made on. or befi•re the 22d day of

This line of railway has been projected to complete the chain of
communication between the Eastern and Midland Counties of Eng-
land and the Western, parts of the Island. •By this important schen3e
a direct communication will be opened from the. Eastern Counties,
through Derby and Stafford, to Chester and Liverpool, by the Grand
Junction Railway—to NOrth Wales and Holyhead, by the projected
Trent Valley Continuation—and to Central Wales, by the Manchester
and Birmingham Continuation. It may, therefore, be certainly an-
ticipated that all, or nearly all the through traffic from Norfolk,
Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, and the Southern parts of Yorkshire,
to Liverpool, Shropshire, Cheshire, North and Midland Wales, Ire-
land, and the West of Scotland, must pass over this line.
On reference to the map, it will be seen that the most important of
the existing and projected railways in the East of England centre at
Derby, and those on the Western coast at Stafford. The proposed
railway will supply the important desideratum of a direct line of com-
munication between these two great railway centres.
Independent, however, of the through traffic, which is sufficient
of itself not only to justify but to compel the formation of a railway
from Derby to Stafford, the projected line will supply a much-wanted
means of communication between large commercial and manufac-
turing towns, and accommodate the inhabitants of an exceedingly
populous district. The local traffic alone will be sufficient to afford
an ample return.upon the capital invested; and as this railway must,
from its important position, command, in addition, a great amount of
threughlreffic, there is no doubt it will prove a' most desirable in.
vestment. • - •
The country has been carefully surveyed, and the line can be con-
structed at an exceedingly moderate coat, not only without inter-
ference with, but greatly assisting the existing and projected lines
with which it will be connected. •
The usual clause will be inserted to limit the responsibility of the
shareholders to the amount of their respective subscriptions.
In consequence of, several influential gentlemen in Stafford and
Uttoxeter having recently been added to the Provltional Committee,
it has been thought proper to extend the time of application for
shares from parties locally interested to the 15th instant, when the
• list will be finally- closed. The Committee beg to intimate that the
number of shares they will be able to allot to the public will neces-
sarily be very limited. • ,
