PRELDIT NARY PROSPECTUS.
• The object proposed by this railway is, as well to supply the wants
of the district through which it passes, as to complete the chain of
railway communication between the eastern and midland counties
awl the western district, including the wholo of North and South
Wales. _ _ _

The country through which the line will pass is of the richest
description, and thickly populated.
By means of this, -and the existing and projected lines of railway,
the whole of the ports in the eastern and north-eastern counties, in-
cluding the manufacturing city of Norwich, and towns of Leicester,
Nottingham, nefileld, and Leeds, will be brought in direct com-
munication with the mineral districts of North and South Wales,
and the salt district of Droitwich. . . .

- -
The promoters of this line submit to the public, as a most import-
ant consideration, the abating of those causes of loss and inconveni-
ence which, along the line of country over which this railway will
puss, arc experienced from water carriage being from necessity at
present a principal mode of transit for heavy goods and merchandise,
and which, in the winter season, is productive of the most evil con-
sequences to those engaged in commerce.
A manifest advantage to the Shareholders will he the extent oft raffle
hitherto has been engrossed by the more dilatory course of water
carriage.
As a public advantage to the inhabitants generally of the country
through which this line will pass, the promoters submit that the
equalisation in prices of the produce and merchandise which the
opening of this line of railway is calculated to produce is of the high-
est importance, and one of the principal benefits which this and other
similar undertakings are aloro capable of producing.
Tile proposed line will commence at Rugby, the terminus of the
Midland Counties Railway, and also of the proposed Rugby end Hunt-
ingdon Junction Railway, and proceed from thence near to the towns
of Leamington, Warwick, Aleester, and end at the City of Worcester.
At Worcester this line will form a junction with the several 'Welsh
railways, the Shrewsbury, Worcester, and Crews Union Railway,
and the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway.
At 17arw niguttoi with
Kidderminsterthe Bir ngh Birmingham
tabn,da
yOxford unc-
tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and Lon
don, Warwick,
And at Rugby with the London and Birmingham, the 3iidland
Counties, and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railways.
To the inhabitants of Rugby as well as to those of the Midland,
Eastern, and Northern Counties this hue will afford a direct com-
munication with the fashionable towns of Leamington and Chelten-
ham, as well as the whole of the Western Counties.
To the inhabitants or Leamington and Warwick it will give a
direct communication with the City of Worcester and North and
South Wales, now so much needed.
And to the inhabitants of Worcester, in addition to providing the
nearest route to London via Warwick, it will be an outlet to the
Eastern Counties and ports, and afford great facilities for the increase
of the manufactories now carried on in that city.
The whole of the country has during the present month been most
carefully surveyed by the engineers, and they report it to be free from
engineering difficulty, and well adapted for a railway ; and the pro-
visional Directors enterti expense oubt that the line will be made
under the average rate ofincident to similar undertakings,
and from the statistics in their possession, that the traffic will
afford an ample return for the capital invested.
The line will not interfere with any ornamental property, and the
landowners are favourable to the undertaking.
The Shareholders in the several Railways proposed to be joinsd 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 4/. per
centum on all calls, from the time of their re.spetive payments, and
to limit the liability of the Shareholders to the amount of their sub-
scriptions.
The Directors reserve power to themselves to amalgamate with
any existing or projected line of railway; to vary the route ; to
make all desirable extensions; and to increase the capital as may be
advisable or necessary.
Prospectuses, with a Plan, will be published in a few days,
and may then be obtained on application to the sever al solicitors,
and to any of the following share brokers, viz., Messrs. Peppercorn°
and Co., 2, Old Broad-street ; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39, Loth-
bury, London ; Messrs. Payne and Freer, Leicester ; Messrs. Alston
