This Company has been formed for the purpose of constructing a
railway from London to Maidstone, and from thence to Ashford,
joining there the South-Eastern Railway to Folkestone, Dover, and
Canterbury, and a branch railway from Ighthara, near Sevenoaks, to
Tunbridge.
The line to Tunbridge will branch from Ightham, and take the
course of the valley by West Peckham and Hadlow to Tunbridge,
communicating with the South-Eastern Railway from Tunbridge to
Tunbridge Wells.
The whole length of the lines to be constructed will be sixty-four
miles, and will be laid down so as to be adapted to the locomotive or
atmospheric principle, which ever mode of propulsion it may ulti-
mately be found most advisable to adopt.
The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow
interest at 4 per cent, per annum on the deposit, as well as upon all
future calls, from the date of the passing of the Act until the opening
of the railway, and no shareholder will incur any liability beyond
the amount of his subscription.
Applications for shares to be made in the usual form, to the Seen.
tart', at the Company's office, No. 1, Coleman-street-buildings, Moor-
gate-street, London ; to the Solicitors ; or to the following Stock and
Sharebrokers :—Mr. John Wagg, 4, Shorter's-court, Throginorton-
street, and Messrs. Edward Ellis and Co., 53, Threadneed!e-street ;
Messrs. Daily and Ilannnond, 13, Angel-court, Throgmorton-street,
London ; Messrs. Cameron, Cazenove, and Taunton, Liverpool ; and
Messrs. It. B. Watson, Tootal. and Itarff, Leeds.

• Nine miles being a portion of the London and York (from Baw-
try to Gainsborough), has already passed the Commons, and also the
standing orders of the Lords, which nine miles, on the ultimate suc-
cess of the London and York project, must be deducted from the
number of miles to which an asterisk is added, thus showing a great
additional advantage (not yet reckoned upon), to the Manchester.
Midland, and Grimsby line.
N.8.--Existing lines give no communication whatever either
Doncaster or Gainsborougb.
The following particulars must also be borne in mind, viz.
As regards distances—First. That the same advantage over the
Sheffield and Lincolnshire (as stated in the last column) from Shef-
field, is conferred by the Manchester, Midland, and Grimsby, on all
places west or north of Sheffield.
Second, That the same advantage, as stated from Manchester. ac-
crues
to all places west, north-west, and south-west of Wortley (a
station on the Sheffield and Manchester Railway), including Chapel-
town, Thorneilffe, Penistone, liehnfirtie Huddersfield, Halitax,Brad-
ford, Glossop, Ashton, Oldham, Tormorden, Liverpool, and the whole
of the manufacturing districts of Lancashire.
Third, That the same advantage, as statel from Rotherham, ap-
plies to Wakefield, Normauton, Leeds, York, and all other
ddhearp,l.dac,es
thaten
the Midland line north of Masborough. It may also be thel Manchester, Midland, and Grimsby Junction gives, by its
junction at Doncaster with the Goole and Doncaster, a direct COM-
munication from Chesterfield and the south, and from Sheffield to
Goole, while the Sheffield and Lincolnshire does not accommodate
that very important traffic at all.
As regards number of miles to make and obtain an Act fur—It is
quite clear, from the above table, that the Sheffield and Lincolnshire
stand in a strikingly inferior position.
With reference to vested interests—A. right Parliament justly re-
gards so much :
First, Rotherham has long enjoyed the advantages of having one
of the best cattle markets in England, there being frequently as
many as MO fat beasts, and 7,000 to 9,000 fat sheep per week ; in ad-
dition to which,thenreotioa

the Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway being made, would be almost
entirely to annihilate the Rotherham market.
Second, If it be desirable (which no one can doubt) that a rail-
way should (if equally convenient to the public and profitable to the
shareholders) be carried as near as possible to the established and ac-
customed route, then it is quite clear that the Manchester, :eildiance
and Grimsby Junction should have the preference, as the coaches,
posters, and carriers, carts, &o. from Sheffield to Ga.insboroughor
Lincoln, invariably run by Rotherham, Maltby, and so on, being
the same line laid out to be pursued by the Manchester, Midland,
and Grimsby.

bitants of the important county of Lincoln, that the Sheffield and
Lincolnshire project must succumb to the superior merits of its rival.
As regards the popular feeling, it is a notorious fact that even in
Sheffield the feeling of the inhabitants (and it has been expressed at
public meetings on more than one occasion) is yery decidedly against
the Sheffield and Lincolnshire scheme. We may, therefore, consider
that Where it is best known it is least liked.
The Board of Trade have expressed themselves very decidedly in
favour of the Manchester, Midland, and Grimsby, as compared with
the Sheffield and Lincolnshire.
However a concealment of facts may be necessary to bolster up a
weak cause, the discerning public cannot easily be induced to swallow
the paragraph advertised (by autLority) in the Sheffield papers a few
days ago, which states that " there is uo residental ground of objec-
tion" to tho Sheffield and Lincolnshire. For a pretty sufficiently
damming reply to that assertion, let the report of the opposition of
George Savile Foljambe, Esq., and Hutchinson, Esq., before the
Committee of the House of Commons, be read,
In conclusion, the public may rest assured that the Manchester,
Midland, and Grimsby, will go to Parliament with every prospect of
success on Its own very superior merits, and with that success ren-
dered everything but a dead certainty, in consequence of the very
powerful support guaranteed, and friendly alliance entered into with.
the mn3t highly influential party of the day.
The public are wished to understand that this advertisement is
not issued for the purpose of inducing applications for shares, as it
Would be Won to apply; it being aeneraily known that all the shares
in the Manchester, Midland, fled Grimsby are allotted to highly re-.
spectable parties, except a very small number reseryed for /ands
owners on the line toJely.
