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,
Tears, Irttoxeter, Tutbury, and Burton-upon-Trent, the coal-fields
and Potteries of Swadlincote and Gresley, and the baths and coal-
fickle 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 Tenn it is intended to construct a branch through the Staf-
fordshire Potteries by way of Longton, Lane End, Stoke-upon-Trent.
and Nowcastle-under-Lync, 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 open 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 before 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 Purton-uron-
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, is its present
shape, their complete and comprehensive scheme independently of
any ether 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 the 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 4/.
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 atsd
Sha'p, or Mr. John Greaves, Liverpool ; Messrs. T. Cardwell and
