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 continuo 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 Codnor ironworks—along the Dinting Vale, and, obeying the course of the river Derwent, enter Yorkshire, in the vicinity ofSaddleworth. In its course, it will pass through or near to Matlock, Ashbourne, Glos sop, Mottram, Hytletd, and Duckenfleld, 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 be sufficient to observe, that it is the scat 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 II aslingden. A branch will be thrown out of the trunk line, from the Junction with the East Lancashire line near Haslingden, by Low-Moor iron works and Beene, to Tochnorden. The Erewash Extension will be the only direct route from the centre of Derbyshire to the great manufacturing towns and chief seaports of Lancashire. It will traverse a valley district adorned with the most picturesque scenery,• and, at the same time, rich is mineral produce: - It will communicate, laterally, with several trunk line of railway; and w.ll be fed by no less than five working canals — e Cromford—the Manchester and Sirzfil4d—the Huddersfield—the Manchester and Leeds- , —and the Liverpool and Blackburn. To the multiplication of advantages which intersecting railwlys and lines of still-water navigation are compelled to afford, the I brow - ing out of branches from the line itself in so many directions wad add still further powers of accommodation, and, when the dense popula tion in the localitie I traversed is considered, there is every - ens in to conclude that an ample remuneration for vested capital Rill b 3 ob tained. . . of acra, wb.:o, la WI with the exact direction of the projected line, highly favourable gra dients are obtained for a considerable pa' t of the length ; and every ()tiler section of the country, upon a preliminary survey, has been repilrted as more 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 tent. in terest upon all calls.

This line will pass in a direct course from Tunbridge, via Paddock Wood (thus connecting itself with Maidstone) through the parishes of Breachley, Hersmonden, Cloudburst, Cranbrook, Benenden, Hawkhurst, Sandhurst, Rolvenden, Newende.i, Northiam, Peas marsh, Beckley, Idea, and Playden, to the town and harbour of Rye, and it will embrace a large extent of adjacent country, at pre sent unprovided with, and much requiring, the admitted advantages of railway transit. The length of the line will be about 25 miles—a great portion of it will pass through a level country, and the remaining part is free from any material engineering difficulty, or works likely to require any serious outlay, and it is not expected to be necessary to interfere with any residences or ornamental property. The saving of distance to Rye, and all the other places embraced by this line, will be considerable. The capital required is estimated not to exceed 500,000/. During the last session of Parliament application was made for a similar lice, partially embracing the same country, when it was shown in detail by evidence produced before the Committee, that the contemplated traffic, after deducting 40/. per cent. for working ex penses, would leave a large per centage upon the invested capital. That line was rejected on the ground that the best direction had not been selected, but with an intimation that the port of Rye was en titled to a direct railway communication with the interior of the country, in the best direction towards London. The present scheme has been based upon this intimation, taking advantage of the merits and defects which appeared upon that investigation, and as it em braces a more populous and productive country, and passes in a more direct line to London, and will have the benefit of better access to other and snore numerous lines, the sources of traffic are consider ably increased, and there is every reason to believe, from what passed during the last session, that the present plan will be favourably enter tained by the Legislature. Tile chief object is to open the port of Rye to the nal benefit of a railway communication, through a populous and productive district, in time direction of London, to the best point at which it can avail itself of the existing and contemplated lines. The imports of Rye, particularly coals, with lime and other ma nures, are of great importance to the country through which this bile will pass, and a cheaper and better mode of transit will much increase the demand for them, and give the opportunity of great improvement in the cultivation of the adjacent country. A railway through the heart of the chief hop district of the king dom, also producing corn, timber, and hop poles, and communicating at its terminus wills a great part of the important cattle district o: Romney Marsh, must be a public advantage. The port of Rye is admitted to be the best outlet and quickest route to Paris and to other parts of the Continent, and there can be no doubt if a direct railway should be made to Rye, with a moderate improve ment in the harbour, that it would be much adopted, particularly as a national and commercial communication with France, and by per sons travelling on business.

The surveys have been made by Sir John Mac neill and James Thompson, Esq.. and the country is found to be fa vourable to the construction of a railway ; and there is, perhaps, no line of such importance which could be constructed at consparatively so small an expanse as the sum named in the estimate.

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 Dishforth, and to terminate at the Leeds and Thirsk Railway near to Math, 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 objecrs are in view: Ist. To accommodate Itoroughbridge, and a great extent of highly fertile and productive country hitherto entirely devoid of railway communication. 21. 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, S.lby, York, Beverley, 3farketweighton, Poeklington, Scarborough, Whitby, Pickering, Malton, &e., and the ea tern 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 the pits in tha neighbourhood of Leeds, anti from those of Durham by means of the Leeds and Thirsk Railway and its extension. To afford accommoda tion to the town of Boroughbridge anti ha 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 !art session, from the Great North of England Railway to Boroughbridge, inasmuch as this line will give an outlet hi both a northern and eastern direction, whilst that of last session would have afforded merely a northern one. The country is level, requiring no tunnel, and very little cutting or ill be co t pa l r in a e th i , N e - i l l y l e l o ig ns h e t, qu a e u n d tly au be r o e t sid eas en y tial cot ann tstr o u 3 c . t a i t o w n e . The saving of distance by this scheme will , on r e f e ren ce to the embanking, i e w c u o rs injury N to V property will be avoided. map, be seen to be very considerable, especially with regard to rail way communication between the cities of Ripon and York, Rath being only four miles north-east of Ripon ; and this line, in con nexion with the Leeds anti Thirsk Railway (which runs through that city), forming a continuous, as well as the shortest and best, line of railway between ll;pan and York. In the alio; mcnt of shares preference will be given to landowners and others locally.interested on the line.
