obtained from a majority of the leading cities and towns in the king-
dom, exhibiting an almost nominal risk in drapers' establishments,
and is based upon the principle of excluding all extra hazardous
risks ; but power Is intended to be vested in the Directors to accept
Of they think proper) applications for general insurances, where the
r;-'ss can be clearly ii;101V11 lint to exceed that of a general draper's es-
blishineT,
preliminary canvass has been to obtain large pro-
Tile effect of a P
mimes of support in different districts, both by intended insurances
and subscription for shares. It is believed, also, that (rejecting
all
extra risks) tile Pireetors will be in a condition to materially reduce
the premiums payable for insurances.
A small portion only of the 04Pitel is intended to be called for, and
the proprietors are to be entitled to interest on the same, and to one-

The line of Railway proposed between Uttoieter and Dudley has
been undertaken at the suggestion of several influential parties, as
combining (without being a competing line with any railway at pre-
sent made) all the advantages of several projected lines, with addi-
tions of no ordinary value. The town of Uttoxeter, in the Dove Val-
ley, is itself the centre of a rich agricultural district, supplying al-
ready the markets of Dudley, Tipton, Walsall, Bilston, and Wednes-
bury, with cheese, cattle, and agricultural produce, but by a very
expensive and dilatory made of transit. All the proposed lines
communicating with Manchester, London, and the Potteries,
must necessarily pass to or near Uttoxeter. Already the Chur-
net Valley, Derby and Stafford, Derby and Crewe, Tean,
and Dove Valley, North Staffordshire, Manchester Direct Inde-
pendent, Leicester and Ashby lines of railway, project a station at
Uttoxeter. Assuming either of these former, or some equivalent, to
pass this will he the best route from Manchester; Macclesfield, the
Potteries, Hull, Sheffield, and the north to the mineral districts of
South Staffordshire, and to Kidderminster, Worcester, and South
Wales. By the Leicester and Ashby line, which will communicate
by its branch to Uttoxeter, traffic of great part of the east of
England will be available for Staffordshire and the west.
Cenimencing at Uttoxeter, the line will be carried over
favourable ground to Abbott's Bromley, thence to Rugeley, where
it will fall into the Trent Valley Railway Station, by Channock
Chase, along the Rising Brok Valley, to liednestord, and thence by
Walsall across the Grand Junction Railway, through Wednesbury
and the mineral districts of South Staffordshire to Dudley ; there it
will join all those railways that will connect the Staffordshire coal-
field with Worcester, Ludlow, and Porthdynllaen on the south-west,
Aberys' with, Merthyr Tydvil, Swansea, Hereford, on the west and
south. In fact, it will unite by the nearest route the east and west
of England.
'1 he line will fall into and cross the Trent Valley, Midlands, and
Grand Junction Railway at Walsall, and from Cannock afford direct
communication with Wolverhampton (where it will run into the
broad gauge railway) from Leeds, and Huddersfield, and the north
and cast of England.
The population on the line exceeds 300,000, and the ordinary traffic
arising from internal sources alone is sufficient to maintain the rail-
way, and afford more than ample remuneration to the shareholders.
As a junction line (with the present immensely increasing public
favour to railway travelling) it is scarcely possible to compute the
amount of passenger traffic, but it must necessarily be very great.
Since this line was registered, a company has been formed for ex-
tending it by a junction at Uttoxeter, to Huddersfield, Leeds, and
Sheffield, by way of Ashbourn, and by this means immense mines of
lead, iron, stone, and coal of Derbyshire, the products of time paint
manufactories and barytes works at Ashbourne, Cromford, &c., will
be opened, and with those already in work, find a ready transit to
Walsall and Birmingham, Dudley, and Wolverhampton. The in-
crease of passengers, attracted by ready means of conveyance to the
romantic country ofDovedale, and the High Peak, will be necessarily
vet y great.
The copper, ore, lime, and coal, abounding in the Caldon and the
Ribden mines, will be transmitted by this line to the manufacturing
districts of Staffordshire, Warwickshire, and South Wales, and it will
afford a direct communication between Leeds, Huddersfield, and
Southampton, and it will also be the nearest route to Southampton
from Manchester, via Uttoxter, by the London and Manchester
Direct Independent Line, or whatever railway should ultimately
pass between Manchester and London, as forming the shortest route
to the metropolis, a line which, it is now admitted on all hands, must
be carried.
This Company reserves the right to raise additional capital to com-
plete the line from Dudley to or near theDroitwich station, on the
Birmingham and Gloucester Railway.

The object of this undertaking is to supply railway communication
to the towns and districts lying between the London and Birmingham,
and the Great Western Railways, givi nc them the best means of access
to the metropolis, and connccting them also with the Northern and

The main line will commence Irons the London and Birmingham

11;11;aY',-;;e;r Harrow, and passin • to the north of Uxbridge, will
proceed up the Valley by Chahind, near Amersham and Chesham to
Missenden and Wendover, and thence to Ayle,bury ; from which
place it will extend to Buckingham, and passing near Winslow, and
approaching Brackley, w ill terminate by a Junction with the proposed
Warwickshire and London Raqway, near Banbury.
In addi i n to the line above described. it is intended also to con-
struct a Railway from the central station of the London and Bir-
mingham Railway at IVAverto.l to Buckingham, and 'hence through
Bicester to. Oxford; and In colincxion with the line here proposed,
the Bedford, and London and Birmingham Company, intend to make
a connecting line between Bedford and Wolverton.
The proposed nuckingliam and London and Birmingham Railway
Company (for the construction of a line from Wolverton to Bicester)
is amalgamated with this Company.
Accurate surveys of the country have been taken by Mr. Robert
Stephenson, and it has been ascertained that no engineering ditlizulty
of importance presents itself.
the undertaking has already received the sanction and support of
a very large proportion of the Nobility, Gentry, and Proprietors of
land through or near whose property it is intended to pass.
It is proposed that these lines should be made with the co-operation,
and under the direction and superintendence of the London and
Birmingham Railway Company; under a lease, in perpetuity, at
tour per cent. per annum on the outlay, with a conditional arrange-
ment as to the surplus profits.
It is intended to offer the shares in Such proportion as the amount

. .
)f capital will allow of, to the holders of shares in the London,
Worcester and South Staffordshire Railway Company, subject to the

approbation of the Committee of Manag;ment, 7with the exception
of such as may be required for parties having local interests.

The colony of British Guiana possesses superior physical capabi
Titles for the construction of railways, the country near the sea pre
tenting an almest absolute level over an area of several hundred
square miles.
The entire produce of the district called the east coast, which is in
the county of Demerara, consisting of sugar, rum, molasses, &c., as
well as the supplies of the plantations, comprising coals, bricks,
lime, lumber, and other bulky articles, are at present conveyed to
and from George-town, the capital el the colony, and the port at
which they must be landed or shipped in punts and coasting
schooners, at considerable risk and expense.
It is to this district that the proposed Company intend first to
direct their operations, by constructing a railway from George-town
to Mahaica, a distance of twenty miles, along which line there are,
besides sugar plantations, many villages, containing a numerous and
increasing population.
As all the risk and delay, and a great part of the expense now in-
curred in carrying on the traffic would thereby be obviated, there
can be no doubt that it would be wholly transferred to this railway.
Estimates of traffic, founded upon the tables published by the
Royal Agricultural and Commercial Society of British Guiana for
the year 1844, have been carefully prepared, from which it cp-
pears that, on a moderate scale of charges, and after making a de-
duction of 40 per cent. for working expenses, a return of 10 per
cent. upon the capital of the Company may be fairly expected.
The Provisional Committee are also satisfied that a great addition
to their contemplated profits will progressively arise from the con-
tinued influx of labour into the colony, as well as from the natural
increase of the population. The existing estates along the line are
capable of doublin% their present production as soon as they van (by
an accession of labour) be fully cultivated, and thereby yiel 1 an ade-
quate profit; and the cultivation of many estates, now abandoned,
will be resumed.
The Committee look forward to an early extension of the railway
towards the county of Berbice, which would still further augment
the traffic.
These can be no doubt that a project so advantageous as the pre-
sent its every respect to the interests of all parties connected with
British Guiana will meet with the approbation of her Majesty's
Government, and the cordial support of the authorities in the colony,
many of the principal residents of which have suggested the present
project.
Early steps will be taken for the incorporation of the Company by
an Act of the Colonial Legislature, to be sanctioned by the Crown,
by which due provision will be made for limiting the responsi-
bility of the shareholders to the amounts of their respective sub-
scriptions.
Estimates of cost have been already prepared, and the execution of
the work will be entrusted to a skilful engineer, who will be sent out
immediately to superintend the construction of the railway.
Applications for Shares, in the form annexed, and for copies of the
Prospectus, may be made to the Hon. Secretary, Henry Hill, Esq.,
at the West India Committee Rooms, Old Jewry, on or before the
25th inst.

The promoters of this Railway, encouraged by the favourable sup-
port which has been given to the project, and in compliance with
various recommendations they have received, haTe determined upon
the addition of a branch to Birkenhead, which, although it will
manifestly tend to the advantage of the Shareholders and the public,
will be attended with comparatively little 'additional outlay. The
project will still retain its chief characteristic of a direct railway,
and by its connexion, near Warrington, with the Grand Junction
Company, is sufficiently comprehensive, without resorting to a com-
plicated system of branch lines, or materially conflicting with the in-
terests of existing companies.
The line will commence at the city of Chester, and proceed by way
of Trafford, Frodsham, and Preston Brook, to Warrington, thence
by Lymm and Stretford direct to Manchester. From a point on the
main line, near Frodsham, a branch will be taken to join the Chester
and Birkenhead Railway-, so as to unite Manchester in the most
direct manner possible, with the docks now being formed at Bir-
kenhead.
As Manchester, from its geographical position, is the centre of rail-
way communication between Scotland and the most populous dis-
tricts of England, so Chester, from a like cause, is the great centre of
railway communication between the capitals of Ireland and of Eng-
land. To connect these two points by a direct and independent line
of railway must, therefore, he of the utmost importance, not only in
a local point of view, but to the whole commercial intercourse of the
country.
This line will be the most direct route, by Holyhead, to Ireland,
and will he, in all respects, by far the preferable channel of inter-
course and transit between Ireland and the great manufactu.ing
dis-
tricts of England. Ity the railways connecting Chester with Wrex-
ham, Oswestry, Shrewsbury, Hereford, Gloucester, and South Wales,
this will be the nearest route from Manchester to the south-
western parts of England, and to the minerals of Monmouth and
Glamorganshire. The communication with Bristol, Gloucester, and
Exeter will be speedy and direct. On reference to the map, it will
be seen that a very considerable distance will be saved by this line,
as compared with the present circuitous routes by Crewe and by
Birkenhead; the former being 52 miles, and the latter 46 miles,
while the proposed line is only 31 miles, saving in the one case 18
miles, and in theother 12 miles, besides the serious inconvenience, loss
of time, and expense of passing through Liverpool, and crossing the
water at that place.
It is confidently expected that this line will he the precursor of
another scheme, of no ordinary importance—namely, to render
Chester an efficient port for large vessels.
This subject was entertained by Sir John Rennie in 1835, and sub-
sequently, in the same year, by the late Mr. Chapman, who wrote an
able .report upon the capabilities of the river Dee. It was again
investigated, in 1837, by Sir John Rennie and Mr. George Remington,
and tile practicability of forming a good navigable channel for vessels
of large burden, together with docks at Chestsr, was then fully and
clearly established.
The entrance channel would commence at Dawpool. which is easy
of access (and infinitely preferab'e, in point of access and safety, to
the docks at Liverpool or Birkenhead), for vessels of large burden,
during eight hours every tide, both at springs and neaps ; and the
cell of the lock would be sufficiently low to admit vessels drawing 20
feet water to enter at all tides.
This railway, therefore, in connexion with the proposed docks,
will render to Chester and Manchester incalculable advantages. To
the former it will restore the proper position natural to so Important
a city ; to the latter it will give another outlet, by sea, to the ma-
nufacturing districts, free of the heavy port charges, dues, and
risks to which the produce is now subject. It has not been thought
advisable to combine the two objects in one company at present,
but should it be foutad requisite, the two may hereafter be amalga-

mated.
Merits of no ordinary degree, therefore, may fairly be claimed for
this railway, whether taken in connexion with the proposed docks,
or as standing alone, combining as it does all the advantages of any
other lines, with this great addition, that it will be the high road to
the most convenient outport of Manchester, and will be quite inde-
pendent of any associations or influences that might tend to oppose
the growing desire for a moans of direct and independent communi-
cation between Manchester and the port of Chester.
The line has been carefully examined. There arc no difficult
earth-works to be encountered ; on the contrary it will be cheap,
and of easy formation. Power is reserved to the Committee to de-
viate from the proposed line in the vicinity of Manchester, should
ulterior arrangements render it expedient.
