PROSPECTUS.
The want of adequate space at the present Exchange,—
the impossibility that the late proposed enlargement of
the building, if it had been carried into effect, could have
afforded more than a temporary accommodation,—the in-
convenience felt by the mercantile body in general from
the present building being now so remote from the great
mass of warehouses and offices,—the obvious incongruity
of an Exchange being situated in the shopping, instead
of the mercantile district,—these irremediatle deficiences,
as regards both site and accommodation, and the conse-
quent necessity which exists for a building conveniently
situated, and commensurate with the increased wants of
the town, have induced the promoters of this undertaking
to lay their project before the public.
Amongst the sites which have been under consideration,
two have appeared the most desirable for the erection of an
Exchange. These localities are—asite bounded by Market-
street, Palace-street, Cannon-street, and High-street; and
a site bounded by Moseley-street, Charlotte-street, Foun-
tain-street, and York-street. Eachof these sites has its own
peculiar advantages, but on comparing their respective
merits, the latter has been selected, with the approbation
of a large majority of the mercantile interests, as de-
cidedly the most suitable, and pre-eminently adapted for
the proposed Exchange.
Situated in the very focus of the warehouse and com-
mercial district, this site is of easy access in every direc-
tion, and is immediately contiguous to the banks, and the
majority of the public buildings. It is less remote than
the other site from the populous district of Chorlton
upon-Medlock and the neighbourhood ; and by an in-
tended access to the Fountain-street entrance, from
King-street, its proximity to the higher districts of the
borough of Salford, in which the class fr2quenting the
Exchange chiefly reside, will be the same, within a very
short distance, as that of the present building.
The area of the site now proposed exceeds considerably
that of the London Royal Exchange. The chief object of
this association being to erect a building available for the
present and prospective mercantile wants of the town, to
that end the attention and energies of the committee will
be especially directed. As regards the architecture of
the proposed structure, it is their intention to call to their
aid the first talent in the kingdom.
Together with the erection of an ample Exchange and
News Room, endeavour s will be made to meet the other
wants of the town,_ and to supply rooms adapted for the
most important public purposes.
Arrangements having been entered into for the pur-
chase of the present Exchange, the Provisional Commit-
tee of these projected improvements look forward with
the greatest confidence to a speedy and effectual realiza-
tion of their object.
Parties who applied for shares prior to the selection of
the site now fixed upon, will be considered as continuing
their applications, unless they communicate to Mr.
ADSHEAD. secretary, their intention of withdrawal, on or
before Tuesday, the 4th of November.
Applications for shares, in the annexed form, may be
made to Mr. ADSHEAD, at the Office of the Association
35, George-street.

THE Directors have the pleasure to state, for the
-1-in-
formation of the Shareholders in the above Railway,
that they have received a most favourable Report from
the Acting Engineer, as to the course of the line, and the
progress of the surveys general y. The works throughout
the greater part of the distance will be easy, and gene-
rally of an inexpensive character. The Report concludes
with the following assurance:—
" I can confidently say, the plans, sections, &c., will
be de posited in ample time, so as to comply with the
Standing Orders of the next Session of Parliameot."
At Farthingho the line effects a junction with the
Buckinghamshire Railway, and proceeds by it to Ban-
bury, where a joint Station will be made, and at the
point of junction with the Birmingham and Gloucester
Railway. k portion of the line will also be common to
this Company and the proposed Ashchurch and Hamp-
den part of the Warwickshire and London Railway.

AND CREWE RAILWAY.
Leek, 25th October, 1845.
THE Provisional Committee of the Great Grithsby,
Sheffield, the Potteries, and Grand Junction Rail-
way having expressed a desire to consolidate with the
Sheffield, Buxton, Leek, Potteries, and Crewe Railway
Company, the Provisional Directors of the latter appointed
a Deputation to confer with a Deputation from the former,
at Manchester, on Friday, the 24th instant, when, after
the most mature deliberation, the Provisional Directors of
the Sheffield, Buxton, Leek, Potteries, andCrewe Railway
Company, although anxious to avoid an unnecessary Par-
liamentary contest, were convinced it would be injurious
to the interests of their Subscribers, and without any
public advantage, to identify themselves with a rival Line
from Sheffield to the Staffordshire Potteries, in opposition
to those which have been so long before the Public for
supplying Railway communication between Sheffield and
Buxton, viz.,—The Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and
Midland ; and Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland Junc-
tion Railways.—they therefore feel that their only course
consistent with a due regard to the interests above named,
is to preserve the integrity of "their project from Buxton
to Stoke-upon-Trent and Congleton, uniting at those
places with the Noi th Staffordshire Railway.

The Directors desire to inform the Proprietors, that
the surveys are now nearly completed for the lines pro-
posed to be submitted to Parliament in the ensuing ses •
sion for its sanction, and such preliminary arrangements
have been made as they trust will insure success.
The reasonable claims which this Company has to a
preference amongst competitors, and the care taken to
fulfil the public duty of affording perfect accommodation
to the districts most requiring it for commercial purposes,
leave little doubt of the lines they propose being sanc-

tioned.
The main purpose of the entire measure is, to afford
the best communication between Birkenhead and Ches-
ter and the Manufacturing and Salt Districts of the
country, by Lines from Birkenhead and Chester to War-
rington, Stockport, Macclesfield, and Northwieh, and by
Connexions with existing Lines to Manchester and to the
North and East of England.
To effect these objects most efficiently, it is intended to
increase the capital from £2,250,000 to £2,500,000.

By order of the Board of Stamps and Taxes, CHARLES PRESSLY, Secretary.
PENALTIES.—The Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes hereby give notice, that every person taking, killing, or
pursuing game, without first obtaining a certificate, incurs a penalty of £2O, and is also liable to be surcharged in
double the amount of the certificate duty.
Any person in pursuit of game, refusing, on being duly required, to produce his certificate, or to permit the same
to be read, or a copy thereof to be taken, or refusing to declare his true name and place of residence, also incurs a
penalty of £2O.
Gamekeepers are desired to take notice that a certificate at the rate of £1 7s. 6d. will net authorise any person to
kill game beyond the limits of the manor for which he is deputed ; and, in order that a certificate at such rate of duty
may protect a gamekeeper, it is requisite, not only that he should be deputed by some lord or lady of a manor or
reputed manor, but also that such deputation should be registered with the clerk of the peace, or the gamekeeper will
be liable to be surcharged in double the duty of £4 Os. 10d., and also be prosecuted by any common informer for the
penalty of £2O.
