This line of railway is intended to connect Leicester and the Mid-
land Counties with the mining districts of South Staftbrdshire, and to
open a direct communication with the Staffordshire Potteries and
the great towns of Liverpool and Manchester.
It will commence at Leicester, and running through or hear to
Market Bosworth, will join the Trent Valley Railway near its inter-
section with the Birmingham and Derby Railway at Tamworth,
affording from thence a direct communication by way of Lichfield,
to Walsall, Wolverhampton, Dudley, &c. ; and thence by the Grand
Junction and North Staffordshire Railways to Liverpool, Manchester,
and the Potteries.
The most direct through traffic will be conveyed by this Line from
Leicester to the important Railway points of Tamworth and Lich-
field, and consequently the nearest access will he obtained to the
immensely populated Iron and Coal Districts of South Staffordshire,
the Western Connties of England, and the great shipping town of
Liverpool.
The length of the line will be about 24 miles. It has been care-
fully surveyed, and reported to be well adapted to form an excellent
and direct communication between Leicester and Tamworth, at less
than the ordinary expense of construction.
The Capital intended to be raised is 400,0001., divided into 20,000
Shares of 201. each ; a depo.lt of 21. 2s. per Share will be required to
be paid upon the allotment, to the credit of the Directors, in account
with the Bankers of the Company.
Th, Parliamentary Contract and Subscribers' Agreement will be
required to be duly executed, when the Banker's receipts are ex-
changed for Scrip Certificates, of which due notice will be given ;
and the Deposits paid by parties making 'default in the execution of
the Parliamentary Contract and Subscribers' Agreement within the
time limited, will be absolutely forfeited.
A preference will be given in the allotment of• the Shares to parties
locally interested in the Line, and to Shareholders in the Trent
Valley Railway.
Applications for Shares may be addressed to the Secretary, at the
Company's Offices, 4, Coleman-street, London ; to the Solicitors ; to
Messrs. Aston and Scott, stock brokers, Throgm

This Company is established pursuant to the following request and
authority:--
" We, the undersigned, being interested in the trade of Manchester,
and in the shortest and quickest intercourse between Landon and
Manchester, hereby express our conviction that a direct line of rail-
way between those places will give the public thegreatest cheapness,
convenience, and speed.
"That it is of paramount importance to the trade, and to the
public, that they should not continue dependent for communication
with Lancashire upon one, and that a circuitous line of railway.
" That the immediate formation of a direct line is essential,
because, if delayed, it will become more and more difficult, in con-
sequence of the branch railways which local necessity will originate.
" That an independent trunk line is necessary, to guard the trade
and commerce of the metropolis and Lancashire against excessive
charges. and the many evils of a rapidly-extending monopoly.
" We therefore authorise and request Messrs. Ashurat and Son,
Solicitors, and Messrs. Sudlow, Sons, and Torr, Solicitors, to take
the necessary steps for the formation of a Committee, with a view
* the adoption of such a line.
