PROSPECTUS.
The main line of this important undertaking will commence at the
abrupt termination of the Macclesfield branch of the Manchester and
Birmingham Railway at Macclesfield, and proceed thence in an
almost direct line to a point on the Trent Valley Railway near to
Atherstone, and about fifteen miles north-west of Rugby.
It will therefore embrace in its course the towns of Leek, Cheadle,
Teat), Uttoxeter, Tutbury, and Burton-upon-Trent, the coal-fields
and Potteries of Swadlincote and Gresley, and the baths and coal-
fields of Moira, the whole of which wealthy and important tract of
country (with the exception of the town of Burton) is wholly destitute
of railway accommodation.
From Tean it is intended to construct a branch through the Staf-
fordshire Potteries by way of Longton, Lane End, Stoke-upon-Trent,
and Newcastle-under-Lyne, to Crewe and Nantwich, uniting at
Crewe with the numerous railways centering there, and joining at
Nantwich the railway about to be formed by the conversion of the
Ellesmere and Chester, and Birmingham and Liverpool Junction
Canals.
It is also intended to construct a branch from the main line, at or
near Tutbury to Derby.
Such Is the project, comprising the best parts of the old and Well-
known " Manchester South Union" Scheme, which, in the year 1836,
elicited from a Committee of the House of Commons the most un-
qualified expressions of approval, and which an inspection of the map
of the country will show to be highly desirable, indeed almost indis-
pensable for the public interest.
It will cpen a shorter communication from Manchester, Stockport,
and Macclesfield, to London (by Rugby), and from Derby (and the
towns northward) to London, than any other line now belore the
public.
It will unite Manchester with Derby, Nottingham, Leicester, and
the whole of the Midland and Eastern Counties.
It will afford to Nottingham, Leicester, Derby, and Burton-upon-
Trent the most direct communication with the Staffordshire Potteries,
Crewe, Chester, Runcorn, Liverpool, and the new Docks at Birken-
head, as well as with North Wales and Ireland.
By its means the towns of Leak, Cheadle, Tean, Uttoxeter, Tut-
bury, and the surrounding country, will receive, for the first time, the
benefits of railway communication, and the rich and extensive coal
fields of Biddulph, Poynton, Adlington, Cheadle, Gresley, Swadlin-
cote. and Moira, will be opened to the whole kingdom. •
The traffic must necessarily be immense, and the returns highly
remunerative.
Thus the Committee are enabled to bring forward a legitimate and
independent undertaking, having due regard to a profitable invest-
ment of capital, as well as to the interest and accommodation of the
public.
The Committee desire to add, that in presenting, in its present
shape, their complete and comprehensive scheme independently of
any • ther Railway not actually formed, or now under the consideration
of Parliament, they are not influenced by a wish to supplant other
parties who may have a legitimate claim to a portion of the ground
they propose to occupy, but simply by a desire to form a shorter com-
munication between tile great towns of Lancashire, Cheshire, and
Staffordshire, and the Metropolis and the Midland and Eastern Coun-
ties, and to secure to a great district yet unopened, that railway accom-
modation which its wealth and importance demand, whatever may be
the fate of other projects which may have in view the partial or im-
perfect attainment of somewhat similar objects.
Powers will be taken in the Act to allow interest at the rate of 47.
per cent. per annum on all deposits and calls until the opening of the
Line.
Applications for Shares may be addressed to the Solicitors ; or to
the following Sharebrokers, viz.:—Messrs. Tucker, Barnett, and Co.,
Messrs. Barry and Co., or Mr. D. B. Major, London ; Messrs. Earp
and Son, Derby ; Messrs. Scholes and Horsfall, Messrs. Fletcher and
Shit, p, or Mr. John Greaves, Liverpool ; Messrs. T. Cardwell and
Sons, Manchester ; Messrs. Hartley and Ingham, Leeds ; Mr.
Tatham, Nottingham ; Mr. Charles Townsend, Chester ; and Mr.
Charles Conner, Edinburgh.

'EAN and DOVE VALLEY RAILWAY,
and DERBY and CREWE RAILWAY.
Six,—The attention of the provisional Committee of the Teen and
Dove Valley Railway having been directed to a letter from the
Secretary of the Derby and Crewe Railway Company, which has re-
cently appeared in several of the daily and weekly papers, intimating
that that company had not sanctioned the use of the names of any
of their Directors as members of the provisional Committee of theTean
and Dove Valley Railway, and that there was not any intention on
the part of the Derby and Crewe Company to amalgamate with the
Tenn and Dove Valley Company, I am directed to state the three
following facts :-.First, that the gentlemen described in our pro-
spectus as Directors of the Derby and Crewe Railway are Directors
of both Companies. Secondly, That their names were placed upon
the Committee of the Teen and Dove Valley Railway, and are re-
tained there, with the concurrence of those gentlemen ; and thirdly,
That the Tean and Dove Valley Company have never offered to
amalgamate with the Derby and Crewe Railway.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
JOSEPH RICHARDSON, Secretary pro. tern.
of the Tean and Dove Valley Railway.

SEA SICK N E S S.---THOMPSON'S
REMEDY. Incomparably the best yet offered. In a trial
extending over two years, it was found efficacious in ninety-three
cases out of every hundred, in curing or preventing sea sickness. It
is tasteless, readily administered, and may be given with perfect
safety to an infant. The packet, of eight powders, only occupies the
bulk of a small card-case, and weighs little more than half an ounce.
The steady and increasing sale of this very efficacious remedy for
sea sickness, Induces the Proprietors to make it more generally
known. Sold by the Proprietors, J. Thompson and Son,
