THIS Railway will commence at Macclesfield, com-
municating there with the Manchester and Birming-
ham Railway, and the other projected Railways meeting
at that place, and wilt proceed to a point on the Man-
chester and Birmingham Railway, near Chelford. There
the Line will diverge into two routes, one of which will
pass by Knutsford and join the Birkenhead, Lancashire,
and Cheshire Junction, and Grand Junction Railways at
or near Warrington ; the other will proceed by North-
wich and the Salt Districts to or near Preston Brook,
there running into the Grand Junction Railway, and join-
ing the projected Railway from that Line to Runcorn,
and connecting itself with the Birkenhead, Lancashire,
and Cheshire Junction Railway.
All the Lines of Railway projected for shortening and
making more direct the route betwixt Manchester and
London pass through or near to the town of Macclesfield ;
and it is manifest that Macclesfield will shortly be the
centre from which will radiate most of the Lines to the
Southeastern parts of England from Manchester, Liver-
pool, and the North. A reference to the Map will show
that the present projected Line is most important, as
making, with other projected Lines, the shortest and best
communication from Macclesfield, Congleton. Derby,
and the whole of the Southeast of England to Chester,
Birkenhead, Liverpool, Preston. and the North; and the
traffic attendant on its route will, consequently, be very
considerable, and such as to ensure a large return of the
capital invested.
Te Line has been properly surveyed, and has been
found free from engineering difficulties; and the princi-
pal Landowners are favourable to its course. The lia-
bility of each Shareholder will be restricted by the act to
the amount of subscription ; and power will be applied
for to allow Interest, at £4 per cent. per annum, on all
calls from the pasing of the act, previous to which the
Subscribers will only be liable to the extent of their First.
Deposit.
Until an Act of Parliament be obtained, the affairs of
the Company will be under the direction and control of a
Committee of Management. Power will be applied for
in the Act, and in the meantime is hereby given to the
Committee of Management, to increase the proposed
capital, if necessary; to abandon any part of the Line ;
to make Branch Lines, or enter into arrangements with
any other Company or Companies; and to nominate the
first Directors of the Company. In the allotment of
Shares a preference will be given to parties locally in-
terested and Shareholders in the different Railways
communicating with the Line.
Prospectuses, with Maps of the Line, may be obtained
on application to the SOLICITORS, or to the following
SHAREBROKERS :—Mr. G. A. BROWN, Druid's-court,
Dale-street, Mr. ROBT. GREENHAM, 9, Mersey-

NOTICE.
THE Committee beg to inform the Shareholders and
the Public, that, in addition to the above undertak-
ing, they have determined to apply to Parliament in the
next Session, for powers to extend the Main Line to
Blackburn.
The Extension will commence at the Junction of the
Main Line with the ,North Union Railway, at or near the
Junction of the,teston and Bolton Railway : a reference
to the Map will show its importance.
This extelision will give to Liverpool, at the least cost,
a direct line of communication with Blackburn, and (in
connexion with Lines now proposed) to Burnley and
Yorkshire, whilst the original undertaking, having regard
to existing interests, will afford a direct Railway com-
munication with Preston and the North.
The Surveys are now being mode, and a more detailed
announcement will shortly be published.
