This Company has been formed for the purpose of con-
structing and maintaining a direct line of Railway be-
tween the towns of Liverpool and Derby, by proceeding
from an independent terminus at Liverpool, or on the
Liverpool and Manchester Railway, diverging in a direct
course to Warrington, Knutslord, thence to Congeton,
Leek, Ashb,urne, by Brailstord and Langley, to erby,
thus affording Railway accommodation (the want of which
has for some considerable time been twist seriously felt)
to four large intermediate manufacturing Towns, and
completing a direct communication to Ireland, Liverpool,
and the north-west of England, from Nottingham, Grant-
ham, and the eastern ports of Boston, Lynn, and Yar-
mouth ; as also (in conjunction with the Midland Counties
Railway) front Leicester, Melton Mowbray, Oakhatn,
Stamford, Peterborough, Ely, Norwich, and Cambridge;
and forming, by the intended Churnet and Blythe Valley
Railway, the most direct line of communication between
Liverpool and London.
The importance of the different Towns through which
this Railway will pass, is sufficient to convince all parties
that on public grounds alone it is absolutely necessary;
and that the imanense local traffic not only justifies but
demands its formation, independently of the great acces-
sion which must necessarily follow, from the advantageswhich will be given to the several Towns and Ports above-
enumerated, and to the various Ports south-east of Derby,
in opening to them the grand Commercial DepOt and
Port of Liverpool.
The necessity of establishing the most direct Railway
communication between the Towns of Liverpool and
Derby is self-evident, from the fact of the enormous traffic
which at present exists under the most disadvantageous
circumstances; the nearest cointnunication by Railway
being 120 miles, whilst, by t he construction of the proposed
Line, the entire distance will be reduced to about 73 miles,
opening at the same time the shortest practicable route
between Liverpool, Manchester, and London.
It would be superfluous, in reference to a Line present-
ing so many extraordinary advantages. to encumber the
Prospectus with details of estimated traffic; for, inde
pendent of its possessing the great desideratum of direct-
ness, the present local trade, it is well known, will produce
a return that evidently must surpass that of any other
Scheme which has hitherto been projected.
It may further be mentioned, as worthy of consideration,
that the proposed Line, which must necessarily_ form a
" Groat Trunk Line," interferes with no existing Railway,
presents no engineering difficulties, and requires no works
to cause any delay in its completion.
Power will be taken by the Act of Parliament to allow
interest, ;it the rate of £4 per cent. per annum, on all
calls until the opening of the Line; and no Subscriber
will be answerable for more than the amount of his De-
posit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond his
Sub-cription.
Until an Act of Parliament be obtained, the affairs of
the Company will be under the direction and control of
the Committee of Management. Power will be applied
for in the Act—and, in the mean time, is hereby given to
the Comtnii tee of Management—to increase the proposel
apital, 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 Direc ors of the Company. In the allotment of
Shares a preference will be given to parties locally in•
terested, and shareholders in the different Railways com-
municating with the Line.

Application for Prospectuse., Maps. and Shares in the
form suij ,ioed, may be wade to F. W. Mount, Esq. So-
licitor, 10, Lawrence Ponntney Lane, London ; the Local
Agents; and the following Stock and Share-broker, (and

This line of railway will commence at the junction of the
Manchester arid Birmingham' Chester and Crewe. and
Grand Junction railways, at Crewe, in the county of
Chester, and proceed from thence through or near the
towns of Market Drayton, Newport, and Shiffnal, in
Shropshire, thence through the flourishing town of Kid-
derminster, to Worcester and Tewkesbury, and to the
Bristol railway at Gloucester. By this means it will form
the most direct route from Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool.
Hull. and Chester, to the important ports of Gloucester
and Bristol; indeed, the most direct line from the north
of England to the Bristol Channel. It will. also, in con.
junction with the
proposed Hereford and Worcester, and
Swansea, Islerthyr•Tvdvil, and Hereford railways, form
the most adva.,taaeous route from Swansea and the iron
districts of South Wales, to Liverpool, Manchester, and
The line will cross the Shrewsbury and Birmingham
railway at Shiffttal, and the Shropshire Mineral railway
and the Trent Valley Union at the thriving town of New-
port. It will form a junction with the two latter railways
at Newport whereby persons and luggage may be conveyed
to Stafford, Derby, the Midland Counties, Staffordshire
Potteries, Sheffield, and Hull ; and, in addition to the
carriage of heavy goods from Bristol, Gloucester, Wor-

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

cester, and Kidderminster, to Manchester, Liverpool, the
who!e of the North of England, and Scotland, will secure
a large passenger traffic in the district through which it
passes. A branch will be made from Newport to the
important town of Wellington.
The proposed railway will be about 87 miles in length,
end between the two termini of Crewe and Gloncester,
will save in distance at least 20 miles, and the journey can
be accomplished at the present rate of travelling, in about
two hours. This project as a junction line connects itself
with some of the most important railways in the kingdom.
It also skirts the large extensive, and densely populated
Iron districts of Shropshire and Staffordshire, and in its
course passes through a rich agricultural country. It
must, therefore, be obvious that there will be a sufficient
traffic to pay a high rate of interest on the capital re-
quired.
There are no engineering difficulties in the country
through which the line is intended to pass, the whole
being nearly on a level ; and on reference to the map of
country, taken from the Ordnance survey, which accom-
panies the Prospectus, the line will appear straight, and
will at the same time show the superior advantages it
possesses, and that it cannot be surpassed by any existing
or projected lines, between the same .ermini.

It will not interfere with any ornamental property, and
no tunnelling will be required.
Application is intended to be made in the ensuing ses-
sion of Parliament for a direct line of railway (of which
a survey has been made) from Southampton to Kidder-
minster, and by which a ready communication will be af-
forded to the most ,outhern ports of England.
The liabilities of the shareholders will be limited to the
amonnt of their subscriptions, and interest will be allowed
on the deposits and further calls, from the date of the
several payments to the opening of the line.
Prospectuses, with Maps and Forms of Application for
Shares, can be had from ti e Secretary, on application at
the temporary offices of the Company, 3, Abchurch-lane,
London ; from the Solicitors and Local Agents; also
from the following Brokers, viz.:—Messrs. Lyon, 2, Bir-
chin- lane, and Messrs. Franchi and Henesey, 27, Change-
alley, Cornhill, London; Mr. ANDREW MILLIGAN, 2,

GLAMORGAN CENTRAL MINERAL RAIL-
WAY.

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.

CAPITAL, £500,000, in 25,000 Shares of £2O each.
DEPOSIT, £2 per Share.
This Line of Railway, which is proposed by the Duftryn
Llynvi, and Porth Cawl Railway Company) will embrace
the richest Mineral field in the Principality, lying chiefly
in the Hundreds of Newcastle and Ogmore, and com-
prising a district of about 10 miles square, abounding with
coal of the best quality, also with argillaceous and black
band Iron Ore.

It is proposed, to construct this Railway in the most
efficient manner, to carry a Branch Line up each of the
Mineral Valleys into which the district is divided, to con-
nect them into one Trunk Line near Bridgend ; and
to enlarge the present Harbour of Porth Ca wl (which
is about midway between Cardiff and Swansea) into a
commodious port adapted to the extensive traffic contem-
plated.
It is intended, for the convenience of Passengers, to
connect the main line with the South Wales Railway at
two different points towards Cardiff and Neath ; which
will also afford facilities of Shipment at the various Ports
accessible by the South Wales Line.
A detailed Prospectus, with the names of an influential
Committee, will be shortly submitted to the Pub-
lic, when it will be seen that no Line of Railway yet pro-
jected, offers greater advantages in the way of Investment,
or opens such an inexhaustible field of Mineral wealth.

Further particulars may, in the meantime, be obtained
of Mr. William Lewis, Solicitor, Bridgend ; and Messrs.
Rowland, Flacon, and Rowland, Solicitors, Threadneedle-
street, London.

Railway Company, W. S. BRADLEY, Clerk.
