The great importance of the above line of railway. not exceeding
64 miles in length. will be Immediately seen by referring to the man.
. . •..

It commences at the Farnborough station of the South-Western Rail-
way. crossing the Groat Western line between Slough and Maiden-
head, and terminates on the Oxford and Rugby line of railway at
Heyford, beyond Oxford, on tte route to Birmingham, accommo-
datimt In its course, liracliwY, Sunning-hill, liagehot, Ascot, Windsor,.
Great Marlow,High Wycombe, Princes Rishorongh. Biecister.
and many other places at present without railway communication.
It will form the most direct route from London to Banbury, War-
wick, and Birmingham, and by the Grand Junction Railway to Man-
chester, Liverpool, Lam:ister, and Carlisle, and by the Caledonia&
Railway to Glasgow and Edinburgh; also from Crewe to Chester,
Birkenhead, and Holyhead, thus opening the most direct communica-
tion with Dublin.
It will also by the branch to Woodstock, in connexion with
the Cheltenham and Oxford line, form the most direct route to South
Wales, Waterford, and the south of Ireland, as well as by the Ox-
ford, Worcester, anti Wolverhampton line to Worcester, and conse,
fluently to alt the central portion of Wales, thus forming the shortest
route to all Wales and Ireland.
. _ .

The length of this line will not exceed 64 miles, and it will save an
average distance of 14 miles to each of the before-mentioned places,
as compared with the route now traversed by the Great Western
Railway. It is satisfactory to state that there are no engine( ring
difficulties, and that the land is the least valuable of any in the coun-
ties through which this line is intended to pass, avoiding, as it does.
parks and ornamental property.
To the -advantages offered to the above places, by saving about
fourteen miles In the transits to London, must be added that of con-
necting them with the South-Western and the Reading and Retract
It

.
lines, affording passengers an opportutaty of proceeding to South-
ampton, Portsmouth, Isle of Wight, Dover, Brighton, and all adja-
cent places, without the necessity of passing through the metropolis.
thereby saving Much time and inconvenience.
It will be seen from the f•regoillV
facts that the formation of this
line will afford very great advantages to nearly all parts of Emaand.
ticotland, Wales, and Ireland, as it will materially
another and
livery of their many nuuketable products byoPenfiancgllitate the de-
too much to
more direct route to London. It is not, therefore'
ex-
pect that, independently of a great frame, there will be also an

immense through traffic bronclittiol7'llids line.

SECRETARY, pro tern—John Devereux Pugh, Esq.
This line is intended to be made from Wrexham, through Holt
and Nantwich to Crewe. Its length will be about 23 miles, and it
will be a direct communication between the most populous
district of North Wales, and one of the most valuable
mineral 'lelds in the kingdom ; and Crewe and the
manufac' urine districts of Cheshire, Lancashire, Stafford-
shire, and Yorkshire, being a nearer route than any now
emitting or contemplated, by upwards of 12 miles. It is satisfac-
torily proved by the evidence of persons best qualified to give a
correct opinion on the subject, that the district of Wrexham (even
exclusive of what may be called the Ruabon district) possesses in
exhaustible supplies of coal, ironstone, lime, and lead, of the best
Quality; the extent of the coal-field is about eight miles long by
two broad, and the limestone is of much greater extent ; the ver-
tical section of coal presents 14 successive strata of coal, of which
10 ere workable; these strata give 40 feet 6 inches of solid coal,
aarpporing there to be 15 cwt. of coal to the cubic yard, and deduct-
one-tenth for old workings, and one.third for waste, faults,
Sec , there remains 18,817,920 tons of coal in a square mile.—(See
Evidence given before Parliament on the North Wales Mineral
Railway Bill.)
e value of the ironstone in the whole area of 16 miles is esti-
mated at 35,400.9941. The importance of connecting this wealthy
ta:strict with the towns betare named is too obvious to require a
vecnnent's comment. By means of the cheap and expeditious transit
provided by this line, the ccke manufactured in the neighbeurhcod
of Wrexham (which is proved to be superior to any other, see evi-
dence before mentioned) will be conveyed to Crewe, for the supply
.of the numerous railways centering at that place, at one.third the
preeent price; the revenue ICbe derived from this source must be
invren3e. The who'e district through which this line will pass is
now supplied with coal, coke, lime, and slates from the mines and
quarries in the neighbourhood of Wrexham at a very high price, in
consequence of the carriage being so expensive. The average
prices (per ton) of cell, coke, and lime, at Nantwlch and Crewe,
exclusive of carriage, are as follows :
.At Nantwich, Coal ........ 9s. 2d.
Coke
Lime ... l6 0

At Crewe, Coal
tt Coke
Pt Lime
This railway will afford the means of supplying coal, lime, and
coke at one.-third the above price,.
Among the multifarious railway schemes now before the public,
the most legitima!4 and also the most likely to yield a fair remu-
nerative return no the outlay, are the traverse railways projected
with the object of suppl:ing the existing want of railway transit
across the country.
The line will not interfere with any parks or property of an or-
namental character, and will be cxistrocted at much less than the
average cost.
The Provisional Directors have no reason to expect any effectual
opposition to a measure so obviously beneficial both to the public
and the landed proprietors, and so powerfully supported by those
best qualified to form au opinion of its merits.
With respect to engineering, the line presents no difficulty
whatever, the gradients are very easy, and the earth.work light.
The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to
allow interest, at 4/. per cent. per annum, on the deposits as well
as upon all future calls from the date of the passing of the Ac:
until the opening of the railway, and no shareholder will be liablo
beyond the amount of his sdbicriptlon.
In the allotment of shares preference will be given, to a certain
,extent, to the proprietors of land through wide!) the line will pass.
and to shareholders in the Manchester and. Birmingham, the Man.
chester and Birmingham Continuation, the North %Vales Mineral,
and the Staffordshire Potteries, Liverpool and. Manchester Direct
_Railways.
Applications for shares must be made in the annexed form to
the ;olicitors, or to the following aharebrokers —Mr. Langtun, Ex-

The main line of this railway will be about fifteen miles in
length. Commencing at the Wortley Station, on the Sheffield and
Manchester Railway, it will pass through the town of Silkstors, and
near to Dodworth, accommodating the whole of that ♦aluable
mining district with the most ready outlet for its celebrated coal to
all parts of the kingdom. It proceeds by Darton, Chapelthorpe,
and Sandal, to Wakefield, where it will join the Leeds and Man.
cheater, and the newly projected railways to Leeds and Harrogate,
and to Pontefract and Goole.

The inhabitants of Barnsley will also be accommodated by a
branch to that town, from the main line, giving them direct and
easy communication with the north and south.
The distance from Leeds to Sneffield by this line, and Its con.
flexions northwards, will be only thirty.two miles; by the present
route it is thirty-eight miles. The distance from Wakefield to
Sheffield by this line will be only twenty-three miles ; it is now, by
way of Normanton, thirty.one miles ; and by way of Oakenshaw,
twenty-eight miles, between two and three of which are by om►ii-
bus. Besides this saving of actual distance, the tedious stoppages
at Masborough and Normanton, the delays of which are often equal
to twenty miles of travelling, will be avoided,
A careful survey has been made, by an experienced surveyor,
who reports that the line from Wakefield to Silkston will
run with easy gradients nearly on the surface of the ground for
the greater part of the way; and that the only work of any mag-
nitude will be a tunnel, about six hundred yards long, at Woolley.
common, which will occasion in the approach to it from Wake-
field an ascending gradient of 1 in 108. The works between
Silkston and Wortley are of a heavier character, but in no
part will the gradient be more than 1 in 112. The ruling
gradient will be about 1 in 180.
This undertaking, in connexion with other railways, is in-
tended to accomplish the following very important objects :—First,
a direct line of communication between London and Leeds, the
Northern Counties and Scotland. Secondly, the opening of the
extensive and valuable coalfields of Silkston, Dodworth, Barns-
ley, and the adjacent districts, to the manufacturing and other
towns of Yorkshire, the ports of Hell, Selby, Goole, Great
Grimsby, and Boston, and also to the Metropolis, and the Mid-
land, and Western counties. Thirdly, the accommodation of the
inhabitants of the places through which this railway will pass,
with those facilities of conveyance for passengers, of
which, from the almost entire absence of good roads,
as well as railways, they have hitherto been destitute.
An examination of the Map will show how well these objects
will be attained by means of this railway. At its northern termi-
nus, Wakefield, it will be connected with the Leeds and Manches-
ter Railway, continued to the Midland and the lines extending
from it to the north and east, with the projected Wakefield and
Harrogate and Wakefield and Leeds lines (the latter a branch of
the Leeds and Dewsbury from Churwell), and through it with
the Leeds and Thirsk, the Leeds and Bradford, and other railways,
to the north-west and Scotland. And at Wortley, its southern
•erminus, it w,llbe connected with the Sheffield and Manchester
Railway, the projected Manchester, Midland, and Great Grimsby,
and the Sheffield and Lincolnshire lines, the Sheffield and Great
Grimsby Railway, the projected Sheffield and Chesterfield Railway,
and the various new projects from Sheffield to the northern parts of
Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and the west.

The quantity of coal which this railway will make directly
accessible to all parts of the kingdom may be estimated from the
following statements given in evidence before a Committees of the
House of Commons :—The township of Barnsley contains 2,010
acres of coal bed, Barughs 5,080 acres, Dodworth, 6,219 acres,
Silkston, 4,040 acres. The quantity of coal in the Silkston main
alone is thirty.seven millions three hundred and fourteen thou-
sand tons, and the quantity likely to be raised from the entire dis-
trict through which the railway will pass, is not lees than seventy-
eight millions pf tons. . .

Pits raay be sunk close by the railway, and will require
only
An engine to lift the coals perpendicularly, and pout them into the
ts ucks.

In addition to this an opportunity will be afforded of turning
'o better account a bed of ironstone underlying a space of 5,080
acres.

The construction of this railway would so cheapen the trAnsit
f coal to York, Hull, and all intermediate towns to the north
Ind east, and westward to Glossop, Ashton, MAnchester, Stock.
port, and other towns in Cheshire, that the owners of this •alu.
mineral would be able successfully to compete with those of
Durham and Lancashire.

The inexhaustible mineral traffic which will thus be developed
—the means which this railway will afford of improved transit be.
weep Leeds and Sheffield, so long a desideratum to the inhabitants
..f these, the two largest towns in Yorkshire—the opening of direct
railway communication with Barnsley, from which that important
manufacturing town has hither o been excluded—its con-
.•exion with the line projected to Harrogate, whither
so many thousands of visitors annually resort in pur-
suit of health and pleasure, constitute a summary of
Avantages which cannot fail to recommend this project to
public favour and support. It is calculated that the traffic in
minerals alone will yield a lucrative return to the Shareholders
while the extraordinary Increase of travelling which every ad-
ditional facility creates, and the surprising influx of trade which
every new railway brings to the district through which it passes,
adding largely to the profits of the undertaking, render it pro-
bable thst the advantages which will actually be realised by this
project will exceed the most sanguine expectations of its pro.
motes.
