COMPANY'S OFFICES,-BIRKENHEAD.

Since the publication of the original Prospectus the Di-
rectors of the Buxton, Macclasfield, Congleton, and
Crewe R iilway Company have c included an arrange-
ment with the Directors of the Midland Railway Com-
pany, by ixh'eh that Company takes a certain proportion
of Stock in this line, and gives zealous support to this
undertaking. and George Hudson, Esq., M.P., (Chair-
man of the Midland Beard), it will be seen, joins the Di-
rection of this Company, this giving perfect assurance of
success to the operations of this enterprise.
A satisfactory arrangement of a like na•.ure hag been
also ma-le with the Manche-ter, Buxton, Matlock, and
Midla ,ds Junction Railway Company.
The Capital of the Buxton, M.acch'sfield. Congleton,
and Crete Railway has been increased to X 1,000,000, and
a proportionate addition made to the number of Shares,
for the purpo,e of carrying out certain extensions not
contemplated in the original undertaking.
No further applications for Shares can possibly be re-
ceived, as the number already applied for is vastly beyond
the amount at the disposal of the Directors. The allot-
ment of the Shares is now proceeding with, and due no-
tice will be given on its being compl,ted. The Directors
regret, that of necessity there must be great dis ippoint-
meat amongst the applicants, for the reasons above as-
signed.

By order.

JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY.
PROVISIONALLY REGISTERED.

CAPITAL, 0,5'0,000. in 100,000 Shares of £25 each
DEPOSIT, £2 12s. 6d. per Share.

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
THE Line of Railway projected under the above-named
title, has been undertaken at the suvgestion of several
influential parties in South Staffordshire, Leicestershire,
Rutlandshire, Nor hamptotishire, Cam-
bridgeshire, and Norfolk, as combining (without being a
competing Line with any Railway at present made) all the
advantages of !everal projected Lines, with additions of
no ordinary value.
It connects the important Manufacturing Towns of
Wolverhampton, Walsall, and Norwich together. Also
the Mineral Districts of StaffMrdshire, and Agricultural
District: of Leicestershiro"and Rutlandshire, with the
Coast of Norfolk, and Wits affords an easy transit from
the Midland Counties ii .h the Kingdoms of Holland and
Belgium.
The Line v-ill commence at Wolverhampton, and in its
course will pass near the Towns of Walsall, Sutton,
Kingsbury, Atherstone, Hinckley, Wigston, Leicester,
Uppinghani' Stamford, Peterborough, Wisbeach, Swaff-
ham, East Dereham, to Norwich, and, by a Junction
with the Norwich and Yarmouth Line, form the most
complete and direct communication from those Towns
with Liverpool, Birkenhead, Chester, Manchester,
Shrewsbury, North and South Water, and Ireland,
thereby securing a large Passenger Traffic, and the con-
veyance of immense quantities of Goods, Merchandise,
and Furl, from the Mining and Manufacturing, into the
Agricultural D:atricta, and giving the Manufacturing and
Mining Districts a greater supply of Corn and Cattle, in
short, enabling the Eastern, Midlands, and Western
Counties of England to exchimge their respective Manu-
factures and Produce, as well with each other as with the
Sister Isle, and enable the Midland Counties to receive
from the Ports of Wisbeach. Yarmouth, and Liverpool,
the imports from the Continents of Europe and America
at a much cheaper and speedy rate than can be done at
present. From these and other sources of profit, an am-
ple return to the Shareht lders must net essatily arise.
The Surveys will be forthwith completed, and the ne-
cessary arrangements made in due time to enable the
Promoters to bring the undertaking before the ensuing
Parliament.
Prospectuses will in a few days be published, with names
of the Pr visional Committee; in the meantime applica-
tion for Shares (in the annexed form) and further infor-
!nation, and communications from persons desirous of
promoting the objects of the Company, may be addressed
