Cressy Hall, Esq., Alfreton, Derbyshire George Henry Richardson Cox, Esq., Spondon, Derbyshire ' SECRETARY—Stlllingtleet Locker, Esq. Assuming the northern terminus of the Erewash Railway as its origin, this line will pass through localities totally un provided with railway accommodation, into the populous ma nufacturing districts of Lancashire. It will continue the important line from which it borrows the prefix of its name, from Alfreton, in Derbyshire, where it will be a recipient of traffic from the Cromford Canal —communicating with the Ccalnor ironworks —along the Misting Vale, and, obeying the course of the river Dcrwent, enter Yorkshire, in the vicinity of Saddleworth. In its course, it will pass through or near to Matlock, Ashbourue, Glos sop, Mottram, Hyfleld, and Duckenficld, In reaching which point, the Manchester and Sheffield Railway will be intersected, and the Hud dersfield Canal Railway passed, near to the Rochdale station of the Manchester and Leeds Railway. It is unnecessary to state here the character of the country from Rochdale to Blackburn : it will he sufficient to observe, that it is the seat of those manufactures to which England owes her accumulating wealth. The line will proceed thence through or near to Whitworth and Rossendale, and fall into the East Lancashire Railway, in the vicinity of Haslingden. A branch will be thrown out of the trunk line, from the Junction with the East Lancashire line near llaslingden, by Low-Moor iron works and Bacup, to Todmorden. The Erewash Extension will be the only direct route from the centre of Derbyshire to the great manufacturing towns and chiee seaports of Lancashire. It will traverse a valley district adorned with the most picturesque scenery, and, at the same time, rich in mineral preduce. It will communicate, laterally, with several trunk lines of railway, and will be fed by no less than five working canals— the Cromford—the Manchester and Sheffield—the Huddersfield—the Manchester and Leeds—and the Liverpool and Blackburn. To the multiplication of advantages which intersecting railways and lines of still-water navigation are compelled to afford, the throw ing out of branches from the line itself in so many directions will add still further powers of accommodation, and, when the dens. popula tion In the localities traversed is considered, there is every reason to conclude that au ample remuneration for vested capital will be ob tained. • Dytolioring the iburee of oms, thie ing4n . fill with the exact direction of the projected line, highly favourable gra dients are obtained for a considerable pact of the length; and every other section of the country, upon a preliminary survey, has been reported as snore than commonly practicable. While the return for capital cannot be questioned, and the necessities of the district de mand accommodation, the expenditure must necessarily fall below the usual amount for works of equal magnitude. To identify this project with that of the Erewash Valley, although 'not included under, or belonging to the same executive, it is pro posed to allow subscribers in that Company shares in the Erewash Extension : the number to be regulated by the Interest retained in the elder project. The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the Share holders beyond the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament is obtained; and power will be taken in the Act to allow 4 per cent. in terest upon all calls. Prospectuses; maps, and forms, may be had at the Offices of Hull Terrell, Esq., solicitor, 30, Basingliall-street, London ; G.

This line will commence at a point on the Midland Counties Rail way, near Kegworth, and will proceed in a direct line to Nuneaton, and thus, by means of other projected lines, a direct communication will be formed between the important towns of Nottingham, Newark, and Lincoln on the one side, and Birmingham, Coventry, and War wick on the other; and as there is no doubt the proposed rail way between Cheltenham and Warwick will be formed, a direct communication will thus be effected between the Severn at Glouces ter, and the Humber at Great Grimsby. At the same time, a rich mineral and_ agricultural district will be supplied with railway ad vantages. The line will pass through a very productive district, intersecting the Leicestershire coal-fields and limeworts, and will afford commu nication, north and south, to the Derbyshire potteries. With such an assured immediate and prospective amount of traffic, the profits on the small capital required cannot fail to be highly remunerative. In consequence of the lines in the course of formation, exclusive of those projected to Great Grimsby, that port will be rendered of the first Importance, and it must be obvious that traffic from the district south-west of Warwick will be very great. The distance saved by the proposed line between Leamington, Warwick, Coventry, and Nottingham, will be about twenty allies ; and between Birmingham and Nottingham about six miles. As it is the shortest :route from Birmingham to Nottingham and Lincoln, it must secure the traffic from Birmingham to Notting ham, Newark, Lincoln, and the port of Great Grimsby ; and by com municating with the Erewash Valley Railway at Long Eaton, it must command the traffic from Coventry, Warwick, and the district smith of those towns to Sheffield, Leeds, York, and the north of England generally. It will also afford a direct communication between Not tingham and the district between Warwick and Worcester, by means of the projected Worcester, Warwick, and Rugby, aad the Warwick and Worcester Railways. The entire length of the line will be about twenty-four miles. The Parliamentary surveys are now in active progress, and contracts have been entered into with eminent surveyors, which will insure ample time for a compliance with the standing orders. The engineer also reports the country to be free from all engineering difficulties, and to present unusual facilities for the formation of the line. The Committee having determined upon making provision for com pleting the whole line to Coventry, in case circumstances should ren der such a course expedient, have resolved to raise the capital to 550,0001., in 27,500 shares of 201. each. Any parties who may be desirous of withdrawing their applications in consequence of the above alterations in the project, must signify the same forthwith, otherwise the applicants for shares will be considered as acquiescing therein. Powers for alllwanco of interest at four per cent. on the paid-up capital will be taken, and the liability of shareholders limited to the amount of their subscriptions. TABLB OF DTATANCES.

At Lincoln the line will fork, and proceed on the one hand in a northerly direction to the flourishing port of Gainsberough, and on the ether by a north-eastern course to the market town of Market Raiser', on the rising port of Great Grimsby. By an union with the Sheffield and Great Grimsby Junction Rail way at Market Raisen, a d rest and all chain of commu nication will be established between all the above-mentioned districts anti the town And port o f Hull. . The sources of traffic which tausline will secure are various and very considerable ; seine of thC lll only cab be here enumerated, viz.:-- Starting from Great Grimsby the line will appropriate to itself the whole of thz traffic thence to the metropolis, and also the southern and western districts of the country, and, in uddit'on, it will secure the important and incrosing local traffic between that town and Market Raiser and L':ucoln.

The entire district between Grantham and Kettering, a distance of more than forty miles, and including the market towns of Oakham and Uppingliam, is without railway or water-carriage accommoda tion, and the whole of its traffic therefore will travel over this line of railway, which will be in the direct course not only to the west but also to London. At Kettering this line will unite with that one of the now com peting schemes passing that town from Manchester and Leicester to London which shall be successful before Parliament. The country is free from engineering difficulties, with one or two exceptions only, and those are more than counterbalanced by t he ver y favourable gradients of by far the greater: portion of the line ; indeed, for many miles the line 'will run upon a water level. The lire will not interfere with any ornamental property. The landowners on the line are favourable to the undertaking. The promoters reserve power to alter and vary the route, and ex tend the proposed line of railivay, and to increase the amount of capital, as may be necessary or advisable.

This railway is intended to commence at or near to the Alne sta tion on the Great North of England Railway, to proceed by way of Aldborough, Boroughbridge, and Disliforth, and to terminate at the Leeds and Thirsk Railway near to Wath, at a junction with, and so as to form an eastern continuation of, the Yorkshire and Glasgow Union Railway. The length of the line will be about thirteen miles, and, in forming it, three objects are in view : Ist. To accommodate Boroughbridge, and a great extent of highly fertile and • productive country hitherto entirely devoid of railway communication. • 2d. To form a connecting link between the Great North of Eng land Railway, and the Yorkshire and Glasgow Union Railway, and thereby connect with this project part of the trunk lines from Hull, Selby, York, Beverley, Marketweighton, Poeklington, Scarborough, Whitby, Pickering, Mahon, &c., and the eastern districts to Carlisle, and the west of Scotland by the Yorkshire and Glasgow Union, which passes through Bedale, Leyburn, Askrigg, Hawes, Kirkby. Stephen Appleby, and forming a junction with the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway near Penrith. 3d. To supply the district in question with coal from then i ns of the ts in the neighbourhood of Leeds, and from those of Durham by nt Leeds and Thirsk Railway and its extension. To afford accommoda tion to the town of Boroughbridge and its locality by connecting it with Carlisle, Durham, Hull, Ripon, York, Scarborough, &c., which this project will do to a much greater extent than would have been afforded by the Pill Moor branch of last session, from the Great North of England Railway to Boroughbridge, Inasmuch as this line will give an outlet fa both a northern and eastern direction, whilst that of last session would have afforded meranely a very northlittleern on cutting embanking, and the line will consequently be of easy construction. The cost will be comparatively light, and all residential annoyance or injury to property will be avoided. The saving of distance by thiS scheme will, on reference to the map, be seen to be very considerable, especially with regard to rail way communication between the cities of Ripon and York, Wath being only four miles north-east of Ripon; and this line, in con nexion with the Leeds and Thirsk Railway (which runs through that city), forming a continuous, as well as the shortest and best, line of railway between Ripon and York. In the allotment of shares preference will be given to landowners and others locally interested on the line.

It will also, by the propose 1 extension line of the Wakefield, Pontefract and Goole, from the York and North Midland, near Methley, form Ms, nearest line between Leeds, Nottingham, the Iltdland end South ern Counties, and by the Goole and Doncaster line , an uninter t, communication with Goole and the shipping ports of the Humber. It will also form a means of communication with the several pro jected lines, to the rising port of Great Grimsby. It is a remarkable feature in this line, that there is no competing scheme, nor does it at all interfere with any ornamental or residen tial property. It is not considered essential to enter into the details of traffic; the value of the lines in the district, in that respect, is a sufficient test of its extent, in addition to which, the railway will become the recipient of much of the northern traffic, arising from the numerous branches with which it is connected, and must also become the Grand Trunk Line to London from the Western parts of Yorkshire. _ _ . By the Subscribers' Agreement, authority will be given to the Di rectors to euter into such arrangements with existing Companies as may appear to them expedient. A preference will be given in the allotment to the shareholders in the adjacent lines, which fact, with particulars, must be stated in their applications. _ . .

This important line of railway, commencing at the port of Gains borough, is intended to pass along the Trent flat by Sturton-le-Steeple, North Leverton, South Leverton, Treswell, Itampton, Laneham, Dunham, Ragnal, Fleetborough, Marnham, Normanton, Grassthorpe, Sutton-npon-Trent, Carlton, Cromwell, Norwell, Baffiley, North Musklitun, Little Carlton, Kelham, Newark, and thence to Notting ham, by the existing Midlands branch, making the total distance to Nottingham thirty-nine miles; thus effecting, by twenty-four miles of new railway, a direct line from Gainsborough to Nottingham, which will connect Derby, Birmingham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the west of England generally, with Goole, Hull, and Great Grimsby. The object of the promoters of this railway is to afford to existing interests mm opportunity of uniting to secure the immense traflic which exists along this line in its original and legitimate course, via " Newark-upon-Trent to Nottingham. They propose no unfair inter ference with the rights and properties of vested companies, but, by cutting off the angles and curves of the river, render the route the Most direct, economical, and speedy of any railway that can be made. Should the Act for the London and York line be obtained, this Company will avail itself of their line for the first eight miles out of Newark, leaving only about fifteen miles of new railway to Ye made to complete this important line of communication; but if the London and York Company fail in obtaining their Act, this Com pany will have s.,fficient funds, and .be prepared to complete the en tire line from Gaiusborough toNewark. It is flat, and free from any engineering difficulty or obstruction ; and it avoids any bridge over the Trent, which would alone absorb an amount equal to one-half of the capital required to complete the present undertaking. There are no tunnels or expensive cuttings necessary ; nor does it interfere wi'h any residential property ; and the expense of formation will be much below the average cost, as compared with other lines. The estimate of cost, which has been formed on the most liberal scale. to include the purchase of property, and all other expenses, will not exceed 300,0001. All necessary preparations are made, and the plans, Re., will be duly deposited, in compliance with the standing orders of bells Houses of Parliament, in order that the promoters may bring their under taking before the ensuing Parliament. Application will be made in the Bill to allow 41. per cent. per annum interest ou the deposits and calls until the completion of the line. Prospectuses may be obtained, and applications for shares made, to G. P. Hill, Esq., and J. T. Sanders, Esq., at the temporary offices of the Company, 11, Gray's Inn-square, London ; and to Arthur Wells, Esq., solicitor, Nottingham; and to Arthur Ballantine, Esq, stock and sharebroker, 1, Throgmorton-street, City.
