Samuel Hughes, e-q. ARCHITECT AND SURVEYOR. Richard Cromwell Carpenter, esq. LOCAL AGENTS. Knutsford Henry Wright, esq. Congleton John 'Wilson, esq. Derby Messrs. Dunnichtf & Severne. 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.

This line of railway will commence at the junction of the Manchester arid Birmingham ' Chester and Crewe. and Grand Junction ra il ways , a t 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 th e proposed Hereford and Worcester, and Swansea, Islerthyr•Tvdvil, and Her e ford 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.

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.

A single line of railway for the conveyance of minerals worked by horse-power has been for many years in use from the top of the Duffiyn Llyuvi Valley to the port and harbour of Porth Caw!, in the county of Glamorpn, a distance of about eighteen wiles. This railway is the pro perty of "The Dufflu Llyuvi and Porth Cawl Railway Company," a company incorporateul by an act of parlia ment passed in the year 1825, entitled "An act for making and maintaining a railway or tram road, from or from near to a certain place called Dutfr n Llynvi, in the parish of Llangu oyd, in the county of Glamorgan, to or near to a certain bay called Pwll Cawl, otherwise Porth Cawl, in the parish of Newton pottage, in the same county, and for extending and improving the same bay by the erection of a pier and other suitable works for that purpose." The Duffryn Llynvi Valley is only o, a of several adja cent mineral valleys abounding with coal and iron ore (both argillaceous dnd carboniferous, or blackband► that remain unworked for want only of a cheap communication with the sea. Porth Cawl is the natural outlet fur the whole of these valleys. It will afford some idea of the richness of this district when it is known that the coal alone which it contains is estimated to exceed one thousand million tons, which would not be exhausted in less than five hundred years if thi ee thousand tons per day was shipped, and a like quan tity consumed hi the manufacture of iron. The numerous seam: of coal differ in quality, and are .well adapted for domestic use, steam power, smelting of iron ore, and gas light and manufacturing purposes. The distance of the coal field from the shippkg place is nut more than two-thirds of the distance of Newpm t and Car diff from the coal fields which supply those ports; it is therefore obvious that nothing is waisted but a commodi ous harbour, in i,nder to secure a large portion of the coal trade of the Bristol Channel. The recent discovery of the BLACKBAND IRON ORE in !his district has greatly added to its importance. The fa cility with which that ore, as well as the coal, is obtained, enables the manufacturer to produce iron at a much lower cost than in any other known locality. Theron made with this ore combines the fluidity of the Scotch iron with the strength of the Shropshire These peculiar advantages, when ni , re fully devel , ped, will naturally attract atien ion to this district, nun' it becomes one of the principal seats. it not the chief seat of the iron trade. The discovery of the Blackhand Iron Ore, as well as the increasing demand fu sea borne coal, have already so greatly added to the traffic on the Dutfry Llynvi Railway, a.: to render it quite inadequate to the present require uscalla Vr tliC 11611 C. Impressed with these circumstances, the Duffryn Llynvi and forth Cawl Railway Company have determined to make their own railway the basis of a much more extended scheme, including the whole of the important district above alluded to, and under the more comprehensive name of the "Glamorgan Central Mineral Railway." This extended line of railway will embrace the richest mineral field in the principality, lying chiefly in the hun dreds of Newcastle and Ogmore, comprising a district of nearly one hundred square wiles, abounding with coal and iron ore. It is intended to raise an adequate capital for construct• ing in the most efficient manner, to be worked by steam power, a branch line of railway up each of the mineral valleys into which the district is divided; to connect them with the original trunk line into one general line of double railway, near Bridgenu; and to enlarge the harbour at Porth Cawl according to the plans of Mr. Scott Russell, who has lately surveyed it, and reported its capability to be inferior to none in the Bristol Channel. It is also intended, for the convenience of passengers, to connect the main line with the South Wales Railway at two different points, which will also afford facilities of shipment at Port Talbot, Briton Ferry, Neath, and other ports accessible by the South Waits line. There me fourteen B!a,t Furnaces at work and in course of erection now in the Duffryn Lis nvi Valley alone, and it may be reasonably expected that this number will he at least doubled by the time ,he whole of the contemplated lines are completed. The traffic of the Glamorgan Central Mineral Railway has been c a r e f u ll y est i mated on t h e b asis o f the traffic now existing on th e D u ff ryn Ll yuv i R a il wa y, and maki n g a fair allow.ance for the certain increa-e of that traffic.and the probable additions from tie proposed branches, it is found that the clear profit horn minerals and heavy goods alone will, at a very mndorate charge for conveyance, afford a clear dividend of eight per cent. on the whole ca pital of the undertakiiw. This is exclusive of passenger traffic, which may he expected to yield a considerable and progressively increasing reventie. By far the greater number of vessels freqnen'ing the ports of Cardiff and Newpo..t pass the has boor of l'orth Caul, which is situated about ;midway between Cardiff and Swarts”a. The capabilities of Portir Cawl for the accommodation of shipping of the largest class, may be gathered from the ------------"------<;*e uilvirlan hilo r e. . ssi ., l , a e e l4 ,_ following extracts from the report of Ilr.
