That another and a more direct line of railway is necessary between
the metropolis and the manufacturing districts around Manchester, is
now fully admitted, and the question Is, which is the best line to be
adopted.
The above proposed railway will form the shortest and most di-
rect route from London to Manchester, and will therefore complete
the direct communication with the metropolis at a much less expen-
diture of capital than by either of the projected London and Man-
chester lines (Remington's and Ashurst's), the actual distance to be
constructed being only 73, instead of 170 to 180 miles. -
A carethl preliminary survey has determined the promoters of this
railway to adopt nearly a straight line from Rugby to Macclesfield, s
an increased expenditure of 200,0001. or 360,000/. judicially applied in
the present perfected state of civil engineering, and at the reduced cost
of the execution of earth works, will prove in the end a far greater
real economy, both to the Company itself in the saving effected in
the annual expense of working, and also, what is of more importance,
to the country in general, by accomplishing, at a much less cost, the
same end proposed by au entire and distinct line from London to
Manchester. . . .

These considerations have not been sufficiently kept in view by
other parties who have also proposed to make a railway from Rugby
to Macclesfield, but who, by deviating from the direct tract to pursue
valleys and to avoid the irregularities of the face of the country,
obviously lose the advantages proposed by this Company.
The Parliamentary decision on the choice of the London and Brighton
Railway is a parallel case, the direct line, although presenting more
difficulties to overcome, and involving a greater outlay, having been
adopted by Parliament in preference to the many competing projects,
in a snore or less sinuous direction, which were at that time supported
in the House by very influential parties.
_ _

Should It be found necessary, arrangements have been made by
which additional lines of rails will be laid between Rugby and Lon-
don on the London and Birmingham Railway, whereby the surplus
traffic northwards will be abundantly provided for.
This line. also possesses the singular advantage of af!brding the
shortest and most direct route from Manchester to SoUthampton,
Gosport, and Portsmouth, a feature presented by no other proposed
railway. By adopting the Rugby and Oxford branch 01 the Great
Western as far as Dldcot, and thence the proposed Oxford, Southamp-
ton, Gosport, and Portsmouth line, the distance from Manchester to
Southampton will be twenty-three miles less than by any other route,
and on this account the project has been warmly supported by the
Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth Railway Company.
The deviations from a perfectly straight line between Rugby and
Macclesfield to avoid high ranges of hills, ornamental parks, or
valuable buildings are very slight, and the line in general offers no
engineering difficulties of any magnitude. The towns more directly
interested as a local line arc Nuneaton, Hinckley, Atherstone, Market
Bosworth, Burton-upon-Trent, Tutbury, Ashbounie, and Leek.
The Company has made arrangements with the North London
Junction Railway Company, whereby it has secured the use of their
station (of the extent of six acres) in the centre of the City of London,
at the bottom of Moorgate-street, which will prove of the utmost
importance to this line.

Amidst the many railway projects that now occupy the public
mind, and involve a vast outlay of capital, it will readily be conceded
that a line that will attain such important results at so small an
outlay of capital, and the time required for its construction, and
without interfering with any existing vested interests, must meet
with general approbation, and at the same time offer a very excellent
investment for capital

The shareholders in the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Ports-
mouth, in she London and Birmingham, and in the Manchester and
Birmingham Railways, will have a preference in the allotment of
the shares.

The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share-
holders beyond the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament Is
obtained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 41. per cent.
interest in all calls.

Application for detailed prospectus, maps, and shares, may be
made to the Secretary, at the Offices, 78, King William-street, City,
London, and at 22, Cross-street, Manchester; and the following

Lion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon-
don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway ; and at
Rugby, with the London and Birmingham, the Midland Counties,
and the projected" Rugby and Iluntingdon Junction Railways.
The country through.which it will pass, is thickly populated, and
of the richest description. It presents no engineering difficulties, and
from its population, its manufactures, and agricultural produce, it
possesses sources of swill abundant traffic as to render it highly re-
-muneratiye to the capitalists,

The object proposed is to complete the line of railway eqinmunica.
don between the Western, Midland, and Eastern portions ;of the
Kingdom, and a glance at the Map of England will show that this'
will be effected in the most direct manner by the present line ; touclit
lag, as it will, at one of its termini, a railway running direct from
Swansea to Worcester, and at the other, the projected line from
Rugby to Huntingdon—from which point a railway communication
has been already provided. •

By means of this Railway, the manufactures of all the towns and
the agricultural produce of the country contained within its range,
as well as the Ports on the Eastern and North-Eastern Coast, will
have opened to them a direct and unbroken communication with
the great and densely-populated mineral fields of South Wales, as well
as the markets of the Northern portion of the principality.
To the population along the line as well as to the Midland and
Northern portions of he kingdom, this undertaking will present the
most direct communication with those towns of fashionable resort—
Leamington and Cheltenham. To the inhabitants of Leamington
and Wai wick, it will open the most direct communication with the
city of Worcester and South Wales, whilst to the inhabitants of
Worcester, it will open the markets of the Eastern portions of the
country.

The Shareholders in the several railways proposed to be joined or
intersected, will have a preference in the allotment of shares in this
undertaking.

No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the Act is
obtained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at four
pounds per centum on all calls from the time of their respective
payments, and to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount
of their subscription.

Applications for shares in the annexed form to be made to the
Provisional Committee, at the office, 5, Gresham-street, London, or
