THE ITALIAN and AUSTRIAN RAILWAY
COMPANY.
The Directors have the satisfaction to inform the Proprietors that

they have succeeded in obtaining from His Royal Highness the grand
Duke of Tuscany, in preference to twenty-two competitors, a grant
fox sixty years, of a railway from Florence to Pestoja, on terms highly
advantageous to the Company. This line presents no engineering
difficulty, and passes through a district densely populated, and rich in
mineral and agricultural productions, and will be connected with the
railway already in operation between Leghorn and Pisa, by means of
the line now farming from Pisa to Florence. The capital will consist
of 8,000,000 of Tuscan livres, equal to about 265,0001. sterling, one-
third of which has been already subscribed for in Tuscany, and the
Directors have secured the remaining two-thirds, which will be dis-
tributed, so soon as the necessary documents have been perfected In
Italy, to such holders of the Italian and Austrian Railway Company's
shares as shall have complied with the terms of the advertisement,
by which a call was made of 21. per share, payable on the 21st July
instant. Under the original prospectus the Directors were authorised
to take every necessary step to obtain Government grants for the
railway from Verona to Ancona, and to coalesce or make beneficial
arrangements with any companies proposing to construct lines of
railway in connexion with the Italian and Austrian Railway Com-
pany or its branches, and the deputation who proceeded to Italy
having found that they could, with great advantage to the Share-
holders, enter upon other railway undertakings in the Italian and
Austrian States, besides the line between Ancona and Verona, deter-
mined upon doing so, and upoa giving to the Shareholders the option
of joining these undertakings. The Directors, therefore, tendered for
the valuable grant they have now obtained for the railway from
Florence to Pestoja, and also have entered upon several other nego-
tiations, which, through the aid of the wealthy and influential
parties with whom they are connected at Rome, Bologna, and other
places in Italy, they feel confident will be brought to a successful ter-
mination. The benefits resulting from these negotiations will, as
they arise, be rateably apportioned to those Proprietors who shall
pay such calls as shall be made from time to time by the Directors
for carrying out fully the objects in contemplation.

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.
Arrangements have been made with the Board of the St. Helens
Railway Company, which will enhance the value of the proposed
line, and negotiations are in progress for giving to Chester and Bir-
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 line 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 will
be interfered with ; and the project is strongly supported by local
influence.

This line of railway has been projected to complete the chain 01
communication between the Eastern and Midland Counties of Eng.
laud and the Western parts of the Island. By this important schemo
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
through traffic, 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 cost, 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 Provisional 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 neceo-
aarily bo very limited,
