This important line, commencing-at the termisais. of the Manches-
ter and Sheffield Railway, in the populous manufacturing town of
Sheffield, will proceed, in a direct• course, by or through Hope,
Hathersage, Castleton, Chapel-en=le-Trith, and Whaley (the great
canal-port ofthe Potteries), to the terminus of the Manchester and
Macclesfield Railway, at Macclesfield, the total length of the line
being nearly thirty miles.

The iinpo'rtance.of connecting- thes6 tOriiiini would, aline, be suffi-
cient to ensure full support to the present undertaking, from the
dense population, manufacturiuginduence, and general traffic of the
towns in queniou ; but when it is considered that this connexion, or
junction, stands in 'the very centre of the entire railway system of
England, and that it will complete the chain of rail Way communi-
cation and transit between the river lumber, the towns of 'Sheffield
and Macc:csfield, the Staffordxhire Potteries, the Salt Wichos of
Cheshire, the city of Chaster, the docks of Liverpool and Birkenhead,
Bangor Ferry, and the harbour of Holyhead, the advantages are too
Manifest to he for a moment questioned. . .

The stirves are now in progress, and will be:completed without
delay, b order to go to Parliament at the ensuing session.

PH

eo-opera4e with the North London Junction Railway Canoe ny, an
the perfection of a project of no ordinary magnitude and importance
will be realised thrbughObt the whole of this short but very ,valuab:e
line of railway.

A lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the
entire district through which this Company proposes to run this line;
by this means the most casual observer will be enabled to ascertain
that the environs of London, north of the Thames, will be placed to
immediate communication with the City ; while the dense popu-
lation of the City will enjoy a fact • ity of connexion witlA.44 suburban
localities; necessarily affording it the greatest aanotianodation.
With such important local resources, therefor e, together with the
vast traffic on which the shareholders of this Company have; a right
to rely-for profit, a large amount of itvenue maybe fairly said justly
anticipated, dilly commensurate with the outlay of the proposed
capital. That revenue will be derived thus :

The daily p issenger traffic on the Great Western amounts to
3,345, one-half of which reaches -the City: • The London. and Mr-
mingttam amounts to 4,322 daily, two-thir(s of which reach the
City.- The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,408 persons daily, half
of whom pass to the West-end of London. The omnibus traffic daily
is 30,894 passengers, two-thirds of which may be given to the Mt.
Passengers from the suburban districts reaching the City, now un-
accommodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily. f-•
From these sources the following products are derived
