THE STAFFORDSHIRE POTTERIES, AND

DIRECT RAILWAY,
PROVISIONALLY REGISTERED.
CAPITAL £2,400,000, in 96,000 SHARES of X 25 each
DEPOSIT £21 £25
6d. per SHARE.

THIS line of railway will commenc a point on the
I. Grand Junction Railway, a afford, and passing
from thence by Stone, Lane d, Fenton, Stoke-upon-
Trent, Shelton, Hanley, s em. and Tunstall, to Con-
gleton, it will proceed nutsford to Altrincham, where
it will join the So Junction Railway to Manchester,
an act for whic s been obtained ; and from Congleton
by Northwich to Preston-Brook, where it will communi-
cate with the Grand Junction Railway, and proceed
thence to Liverpool. A. branch from Stoke-upon-Trent,
by Newcastle to Crewe, affording accommodaiton to the
Silverdale and Apedale Ironworks, will connect the main
line with the important railways meeting at that point,
and give the shortest possible route from the Potteries to
Chester, Holyhead and Birkenhead. A branch will con-
nect the towns of Congleton and Macclesfield. A com-
munication will thus be opened from those places, and
from the salt district of Cheshire, on the one hand to
Liverpool ; and on the other to Manchester, the ports on
the Humber, and the eastern coast of England, and will
thus afford a great additional market for the produce of
the district, and facilitate the foreign trade from those

coasts.
An inspection of the map will show the importance of
the line of country proposed to be accomodated by means
of this railway • and some of the advantages attending it

will be as follow :
The Pottery district alone contains an immense popula
tion, and the a hole of that district is at present without
railway accommodation. The importance of the Pottery
trade is too manifest to require a moment's comment ;
and the principal part of that trade being connected with
Liverpool, it is highly important, in a national point of
view, that every facility should be given to the communi-
cation betwixt those parts. In no line of railway at pre-
sent formed or projected has the interest of the Pottery
district, as a whole been duly considered; but by the pre-
sent line it is intended to afford accommodation to every
town in the district, and to give the best and most direct
communication betwixt the Potteries and Chester, Birken-
head and Liverpool, and also through M anchester,with the
ports on the Humber and the east coast of England, thus
affording facilities for a revival of the trade with Holland,
Belgium, and Germany, which, it is believed, will be at-
! tended with important results to the future trade of the
Potteries.
The important manufacturing towns of Congleton and
Macclesfield, with their districts, containing also a very
large population, have likewise been, in a great measure,
overlooked in the railway arrangements hitherto carried
out; and it is proposed by this railway to afford commu-
nication from those places by existing and projected
routes to the South of England, and to Liverpool, Man-
chester, Chester, Birkenhead, North Wales, end the
whole of the North and East of England and Scotland.
The proposed line of railway will afford facilities to the
coal districts of Staffordshire, Cheshire, and South Lan-
cashire, especially accommodating the large coal field
at Biddulph; and will tend materially to reduce the cost
of that article in the country through which the line is in-
tended to pass.
The shortest and most direct route wilt be afforded by
existing and projected routes from Southampton, Bir-
mingham, and the whole of South Staffordshire, through
the Potteries to the salt districts and the North of Eng-
land; and the facilities of communication from the coun-
try intersected by this line to Liverpool, Birkenhead,
Manchester, Chester, North Wales, and all parts of the
North and East of England, and to London, Southamp-
ton, Birmingham, and South Staffordshire, and all parts
of the South and West of England, and South Wales,
will be as ample as can be desired, whilst the traffic both
of goods and passengers that is manifestly attendant on
the line of country will be such as to insure the most am-
ple return on the capital invested.
The line has been properly inspected, and has been
found free from material engineering difficulties, and the
landowners are mainly favourable to its course.: The ca-
pital proposed to be raised has been estimated to be more
than sufficient for the completion of the works.
The Provisional Committee being aware that it is of the
greatest importance to carry with them the right feeling
of the land.owners, manufacturers, and others interested
in the line, respectfully invite all such to take a personal
interest in the undertaking ; and they declare it to be their
wish to be materially guided in the allotment of Shares by
the opinions of gentlemen immediately interested in the
line.
The liability of each Shareholder will be restricted by
Act of Parliament to the amount of subscription, and
power will be applied for in the bill to allow interest at 4
per cent. per annum, on all calls, from the passing of the
act until the opening of the line.
Prospectuses, with maps of the line, may be obtained
on application to the Solicitors, or to the following Share-
brokers :—Messrs. GEORGE PALMER HOPE and Co.,
