SOLICITORS.
Messrs. Thompson and Jepson, Glossop
Messrs. Edward and 11. William Bennett, Manchester

The promoters of this undertak'ng contemplate, as their first object,
to supply a very populous and rapidly-increasing manufacturing dis-
trict with the advantages which will be afforded by the intended lino
of railway, and which have long been sought for.
The line will diverge from the Sheffield and Manchester Railway
at or near Dukinfield, taking its course near the densely populated
and extensive manufacturing districts of Newton, Hyde, Compstall,
and Marple, passing thence near New Mills, Hayfield, Whaley-bridge,
and Chapel-en-le-Frith (with a short branch to Buxton), it will
follow the course of the valley of the Del Arent, and to a point at or
near Helper, where it is proposed to join the Great Midland and also
the West Midland Railways.

By the construction of this railway, a saving of twenty miles will be
effected over any other line in existence between the manufacturing
districts of Oldhani, Rochdale, Ashton, Staley, New ion, and Hyde,
with their population of 300,0 0, and the favourite places of resor6,
Buxton, Matlock, and the picturesque scenery of IS orth Derbyshire.
The minerals of Derbyshire, with which the country abounds, will,
by the proposed line of railway, be brought into more extensive use,
and at a much cheaper rate in the manufacturing districts.

The saving distance between Manchester and Derby with the
eastern coast will be fifty-lour miles.

The line has been carefully examined, and with the greatly-ha-
proved facilities for the construction and working of railways, a good
line may be made at an average cost.

The local traffic alone will pay eight per cent. on the cost of con-
struction.

Negotiations are now in progress with important companies
which there is every reason to believe will be satisfactorily con-
cluded ; if so, they will render this the most complete project that haS
been offered to the public.

Applications for shares, of which there is only a limited number at
disposal of the Provisional Committee, may be made in the subjoined
form to the solicitors and to the undermentioned brokers :—Messrs.
Cardwell and Sons, Messrs. Johnson, Braeley, and Walker, and Mr.
Thomas Ellison, Manchester.

A more detailed prospectus, with the complete list of the Prooi•
sional Committee, will be Issued shortly.

This railway will commence at Sheerness in conjunction with a
short steam-ferry communication from a point at or near to South-
end, on the opposite ,Essex coast, and wilt proceed from Sheerness
by Qneenborough to Faversham, where it will form a junction with
one of the proposed lines from London by that town to Canterbury
and Dover.
The integral line will be continued from Faversham to or near to
Herne Bay,: and from thence to the South-Eastern Extension
Railway (now being made), at a point near Sarr, and will then pro-
ceed on that line direct to Ramsgate eastwards, and direct to Deal
south-eastwards. From a point between Herne Bay and Sarr the
line will also be carried by a short extension to Margate.
By this project Margate will be placed within 75 mites of the me-

The important town of Ramsgate, now so extensively connected
with continental communication, will also be thus afforded a much
nearer overland route to London ; and Deal, Ramsgate, Margate,
Herne Bay, Sheerness, Chatham, Rochester, Gravesend, Woolwich,
Greenwich, and London, will all be placed in immediate or easy con-
nexion upon one continuous line of railway.
By means also of this undertaking, in conjunctim with the exist-
ing and projected railways proceeding to the south coast of Essex,
the whole of the passengers and traffic from Liverpool, Manchester,,
Leeds, Hull, York, and the Northern, the Midland, and the
Eastern Counties, will be conveyed to Dover and the Conti-
nent via Sheerness, in preference to a lengthened and cir-
cuitous route through the !metropolis, whereby the journey will be
shortened more than 50 miles, travelling expenses will be curtailed,
and the serious inconvenience and delay of transhipment and con-
veyance from sone part of London to another wholly avoided.
A glance at the map also will show the Immense advantage which
the metropolis itself will enjoy by its being thus altbrded other routes
to the coast of Kent. The millions who annually seek pleasure in
excursions to Gravesend, Sheerness, Southend, Herne Bay, Margate,
Itamsgate, Deal, and Dover, will have a choice of different routes.
They may proceed by railway, on the Essex side of the Thames, to
the Thames Haven, Tilbury Fort, or Southend—pass over to Sheer-
ness by water, and thence proceed direct by this railway—or they
may reach Sheerness wholly by water, and then avoid the sea—or,
may pass at once from London, on the Surrey side of the Thames,
to Sheerness, Herne Bay, Margate, and Ramsgate, by railway in a
direct line, consuming only about two hours in the journey, and may
vary their pleasure by going in one direction and returning by
another.

Independently of the vast multitudes who will thus seek health
and recreation, the importance, as a national object, of connecting al l
the above-mentioned towns, find giving a direct line from Sheerness to
Dover, together with the immense existing traffic in the direction of
the undertaking, and the great increase which the improved and
enlarged modes of communication throughout: Kent will occasion,
must be too apparent to need ftather observation; and the Commit-
tee, from careful Inquiry, feel confidence in stating that no scheme of
railway has yet been offered to public attention combining greater
public and private advantages.
About thirty-six miles of new railway only will embrace all the
above important objects—viz., from Sheerness to Faversham

12 miles.

The country has already been preliminary surveyed, and found to
be exceedingly favourable. Indeed, it is almost a dead flat from
Faversham to Margate.
The landed proprietors are not only willing but desirous that the
undertaking should be accomplished, and it is at the request of many
of them that the promoters have determined on prosecuting it.
The Committee reserve the power of making branches to Canter-
bury and to Deal, if circumstances shout l hereafter render it ad-
visable.
The liability of the shareholders will be restricted to the amount
of their subscriptions, and power will be applied for in the 13111 to
allow interest, at 4 per cent. per annum on all calls, from the passing
of the Act until the opening of the line.
