PROSPECTUS.

This line is intended as a connecting link between the Trent
Valley and Wolverhampton, Chester, and Birkenhead Junction Rail-
ways. It will commence at Stafford, and terminate at Market
Drayton, and is essentially requisite to perfect the communication
between London, Chester, and Holyhead.
Though the tine will not exceed thirteen miles in length, it will
afford immense accommodation to an important district of Stafford-
shire and Shropshire, through which it will pass; and by means of
the lines with which it is Intended to communicate, it will effect the
shortest possible route from London to Liverpool, from London to
Birkenhead, and from London to Ireland. A saving of not less than
thirty miles will thus he accomplished.
It will thus become a most important adjunct to the proposed
Wolverhampton, Chester, and Birkenhead Junction Railway; but
the prominent feature in the scheme is this—that by bringing
' Stafford into immediate conjunction with Market Drayton and
Chester, all the advantages of the proposed Trent Valley Continua-
tion Lino to Holyhead, will be realised without the enormous sacrifice
of time and capital inseparable from the carrying out of such a
project, which, however, is impracticable.
It is obvious that such a scheme will be of the utmost general
benefit, as it will materially shorten the distance between the eaDitals
of England and Ireland, and tend to a still further development of the
great industrial resources of the two countries. As an investment,
its eligibility cannot be disputed, as the feilowing lines of railway will
be important tributaries to its revenue :—The London and Birming-
ham, Trent Valley, Great Western, Birmingham, Oxford and
Brighton, Birmingham and Southampton, Oxford, Worcester, and
Wolverhampton' Birmingham, Dudley and Wolverhampton, Bir •
mingham, Bristol, and Gloucester, and Grand Junction Railways.
The lines in the vicinity of Liverpool will also become valuable tribu-
taries to it.

Although this line is proposed by a Company distinct from that of
the Wolverhampton, Chester, and Birkenhead Junction Railway, yet,
if it should be found expedient and practicable, the two Companies
may be amalgamated. At all events, the shareholders in the Wol-
verhampton, Chester, and Birkenhead Company,
will have the pre-
ference in the allotment.
It is intended to proceed to Parliament in the ens ting Betake, ES
the plans and surveys are in a very forward state-

In consequence of the great number of applications ibr share-
in this Company which are daily received from all parts of the
country, the Provisional Directors feel it necessary to call the atten-
tion o ithe Public to the following Clause in the Prospectus, to the
terms of which they will, in allotting the shares, be compelled most
strictlyito adhere:—
" As, under arrangements entered into with the Lynn and Ely,
Ely and Huntingdon, and Lynn and Dereham Railway Companies,
a large proportion of the capital has been appropriated to the holders
of shares in those Companies, a very limited number of shares only
is at the disposal of the Provisional Directors, and no application for
shares therefore can be attended to, except from parties locally in-
terested and of the highest respectability.

The chief objects of this Company are to carry into effect a co
tional arrangement entered into with Mons. 'toilette for the purchase
of his patent for all Europe, and to sell licenses to ace it.
The promoters confidently believe that the atmospheric system of
Mons. Hallette is the most perfect and economical that has been In-
vented for propulsion en railways and canals, and in this opinion
they are supported by that of many eminent men of science and ex-
perienced engineers.
By the arrangement entered into with the inventor,
tees deposit
will be more than will be required until a contract e the
patent on a railway has been actually signed, and under any cir-
cumstances it is believed that 4/. per share will be ample to carry out
fully the objects of this Company. The/risk, therefore, will be smolt,
whilst the profit by sale of licenses, &c., in the event of the superiority
of the invention being acknowledged, must be immense.
A detailed prospectus, with form of application for shares, may be
had at the Company's offices, Winchester-house, Old Broad-street ;
or of Mr. J. H. Golding, broker, Warnford-court, Throgmorton-street,

The object of this railway is to afford local accommodation to the
large population lying between Droitwich, Stourbridge, and Wolver-
hampton, and at the same time to improve the chain of direct com-
munication between Manchester, Salisbury and Poole, on the one
hand, and between Manchester and Southampton on the other. The
line will commence by a junction with the Birmingham and Glou-
cester Railway, near Droitwich, and passing by the salt works at
that place, and through or near the towns of Brontsgrove and Stour-
bridge, will fall into the intended Grand Central Station at Wolver-
hampton, whence run connecting lines with all parts of the kingdom.
The importance of this communication, with reference only to the
wants and convenience of Droitwich, was strongly dwelt upon in
Committees of Parliament during the last session, when it was
proved that a communication with the port of Southampton, as well
as with the agricultural districts of Wilts, Dorset, and Hants, must
.tend to a very great extension of trade in salt, as well as in iron and
coal from the Staffordshire district.
Traversing a densely populated district, and improving the com-
munication from Liverpool, Manchester, and the north, with the
ports and towns of the south and west of England, it is obvious the
line must also command a large passenger traffic.
The length of railway will be about twenty-four miles. Pro-
moted with the sanction and immediate support of the Manchester
and Southampton Company, it is intended, after satisfying the re-
quirements of the district and other important interests, that a
proportion of the remaining shares in the line shall be distributed to
such of the Shareholders in that Company as shall signify their
desire for an allotment on or before the 10th of November instant.
The levels of the country have already been taken, and active
measures instituted tar completion of the surveys, and the Directors
confidently hope to bring the measure before Parliament in the
ensuing session.
Applications for Shares may be made in the annexed form to the
Company's solicitor, at Manchester ; or at the offices of the Com-
pany, 19, Great George-street, Westminster.

a distance of nearly fifteen miles, by virtue of which his lordship's
sanction and support are secured to the undertaking; and the Earl
Bruce joins the managing direction, and gives his valuable aid in
promotion of the railway.
The Committee pave further to announce that an agreement has
been entered into, 'and has been confirmed by a special meeting of
its Proprietors, for purchase of the entire line of canal running ftom
Redbridge, by Runtsey and Stockbridge, to Andover, a distance of
about twenty-five miles, thereby securing (subject to the sanction of
Parliament) another important portion of the ground to be traversed
by their line, and materially facilitating its construction.
The Committee take this opportunity of stating that the deposits
upon shares have been fatly paid ; that the survey of the line from
Cheltenham to Southampton will be completed this week ; that, as
to a considerable portion of their line to Poole, the survey will also
be completed within a few days ; and the remainder in full time for
the requisite parliamentary deposits.
As regards the portion of line between Salisbury and Poole, the
Committee have concluded a friendly arrangement with the London,
Salisbury, and Yeovil Jnnction Company, for their participation, to a
limited extent, in that line.
