This line of railway, which is about sixty-five miles in length, is
intended to commence
Bolton, John, Thomas,
Eq., Dudley
Esq., Wolverhampton
at Uttoxeter (the terminus of the proposed
Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Worcestershire Junction Railway) and
to proceed to Sheffield and Huddersfield. It will form a direct com-
munication between two of the most import tnt manufacturing and
mining districts in England, viz., South Staffordshire, Huddersfield,
and .Sheffield, and Rotherham in Yorkshire ; the South Staffordshire
portion including Hadley, Tipton,Walsall, Bilston, Weduesbury, and
Wolverhampton.
This line will also open a direct railway communication between
Leeds, Huddersfield, and the West Riding of Yorkshire and Kidder-
minster, Worcestershire, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, Taunton,
and Exeter, and with Ludlow, Leominster, Hereford, Brecon, Car-
diff, Neath, Swansea, Llanelly, Caermarthen, Milford Haven, Fish-
guard, Aberystwith, and with Port Dynnllaen, the future outport for
Ireland. And also the most direct communication betweca Ueda
and Southampton.
The line will pass nearly along the Uttoxeter and Caldon Canal to a
point near Prestwood, in case the canal be purchased by the pro-
moters of this undertaking. It will proceed through Ellaston and
Ilfayflcid to
join the Huddersfield and Leeds Railway, and so to Thirsk. It will
open new mines, in addition to those already in work, of lead, coal,
lAsohodbohtetritade, anthaeniceiditikefiaiii ni, otlo,ednaulesersfieldßuxton, and Chapel-
d ,
where it will

iron ore, barytes, and carboniferous and magnesia]) limestone on the
route, in addition to funning a direct, speedy.-find cheap communica-
tion between the important towns above mentioned.
Arrangements have been made with other companies to run into
this line from Sheffield. This company reserves the right to raise
additional capital to extend the line to Leeds.
Many of the above-mentioned mineral productions are essential to
the mining districts of South Staffordshire and Sheffield. The North
Staffordshire and Derbyshire Limestone is much superior to that of
South Staffordshire in the fluxion of iron (15 cwt. of the former being
equal to a ton of the latter), and producing a better quality of ma-
terial. At present, the mode of transit is very circuitous and expen-
sive, the line from the Caldon Mines having to go by canal round
by Etruria, Leek, and the Potteries, to the Dudley and surrounding
furnaces, when, by this railway, it would be taken in a straight line
to them ; and the Ashbourne, Cromtbrd, Workaworth, and Bakewell
country would have an entirely new trade opened to them. The iron-
stone in the neighbourhood of Sheffield is also becoming very scarce,
and greatquantities arc Introduced from Scotland; the same scarcity
exists in South Staffordshire ; and the route of this line would fur-
nish a cheap and good supply, at present not worked, and without a
market, both north and south. In addition to these great advan-
tages, a good local market would be opened along the agricultural
and other Iwo of the district 111 present very Waxy Napped With
