This • line will commence at or near the Wigeton station
at the Midland Counties Railway, will pass by or near
the manufacturing localities of Narborough, Sapeote, Earl
Burbage, and 'Hinckley, through a district most favourable
for engineering purposes, to a junction with the Trent Valley at Nun-
eaton, thence it continues nearly due west to the Whitacre station of
the Birmingham and Derby Railway, and south-weat by Bedworth
to the Coventry station of the London and Birmingham Company.
The line will communicate with the Swanaington Railway either by
means of the proposed Broughton Astley branch of the Midlands, or
of a separisee branch to be formed by this Company ; thereby opening
the entire of the Leiceetershire coal-field to the counties south-east
Of Leicester.

The Directors, fbr the last few months, hiving used their best
exertions for the Interests of the Company, feel it their duty, now
that the surveys, plans, and other arrangements are solar advanced,
to acquaint their shareholders with the position and prospects of the
undertaking.
The Coventry, Bedworth, And Nuneaton line, which rete-,-ved the
favourable report of the Board of Trade, and was befon Parliament
last session, forms part of the present projected -Plan for connecting
Leicester, Coventry, and Birmingharp,
'The Directors have, by personal inspection, accompanied by their
engineer, satisfied themselves of the remarkable facilities presented
by the district for executing the greater part of the line; and from
carefhl 1 lit tigation the Directors have the pleasure of informing the
!tharehol that this undertaking cannot fail to prove a profitable
inveSithent if supported by local traffic only, and with the certainty
that . through traffic from the eastern and western lines, 'combined
with the great advantages afforded by the junction with the Trent
Valley for the transit of goods to and from Liverpool, Scotland, Ire-
land, and the 'United States, its importance cannot be over estimated.
From the extent of population accommodated by this railway
—frern the convenience afforded to the trade and manufactures of
the Midland Counties—from the vast mineral resources of the dis-
tricts traversed, and from its position in regard to other important,
established, and projected railways, the Directors feel confident that
It will be amply remunerative to the Shareholder, and highly advan-
tageous to the public.

The capital has been subscribed, and the Parliamentary deeds have
been executed, and the preliminary survey completed.
A list of a new and highly influential local direct's', and a neap of
the ltue, will be published in a few lays.

'The Rugby, Derby, and. Manchester Railway, is a direct line from
London to Manchester, coming from London to Rngby along the
London and Birmingham line, and proceeding from Rugby to
Hinckley, through Market-Bosworth and Atliby-de-la-Zouch. to
Derby, thence to Ashbonrne, by Leek, to 3!,beclesfield, and eking the
Maockusfield and Stockport, and Stock./2,-,,rt and Manchester Railways,
into Manchester.
A branch to Buxton is in eolllemplation.
The principle of this ralitvay is to obtain a direct through line be-
tween some of thi most important districts in the kingdom with the
lmst possible amount Of new railway, and consequently the smallest
erpenditure of etes,',tal.
It will also P:.,tOblish the shortest direct communication between
Derby and
-, T
-4noon, Sheffield and London, and betweemall the towns
on the l'7,,eth Midland Railway and London.
'rat Manchester, Derby and Rugby Railway will open a direct
tolomunication between. Manchester .and Derby`, and will considerably
shorten the distance between Manchester and Nottingham, and Man-
chester and Leicester.
'The line from Derby to Rugby will establish the direct communi-
cation from that town to London, which has been so long considered
desirable by the inhabitants.
The same will apply to Sheffield, when the Sheffield and Chester-
field branch of the North Midland Railway is made. The Rugby,
Derby, mud Manchester Railway; in connexion with the Oxford and
Rugby and Oxford, Southampton and Gosport Railways forms a di-
rect Manchester and Southampton
TIVI GREAT ADVANTAGES

of the Rugby, Derl',y, and Manchester Railway over the ether pro-
jects into Marict;•ster, among others, are—
First, 11,-.4t there arc only seventy-five miles of railway to be
made, place of one hundred and eighty-nine.
condly, That it is a more direct line from London to Manchester
Vaal' even the proposed direct lines.
Thirdly, That It interferes with ne existing railway property or
'rested interests.
Fourthly, That it passes through a district rich in manufactures,
agriculture, and minerals, but which—more especially as regards its
wrlcultural produce, and a convenient system of intercommunication
fbr the conveyance of that agricultural produce, to supply the
large
manufacturing towns in the vicinity—has been hitherto left totally
tritlinut railway communication.
Pifthly, That It passes through the towns in its route, instead of
bolding
ilixthlY, That the whole line of railway from Rugby to Manchester
will be completed and in working order within ten months from the
pasting of the Act of Parliament.
Scventhly, That the maps, plans, estimates, and other documents
Tequlred by the standing orders of Parliament, will be lodged with
the Parish Clerks, the Clerks of the Peace for the Counties, and
the Parliamentary ofaces, on the 10th of November next, being
twenty days within the time required by the regulations of Parlia-
ment.
In the allotment of shares a preference will be given, to the extent
of 10,000 shares, to the holders of stock in the London and Birming-
ham Railway, also of 2,000 shares to the shareholders in the Oxford,
Southampton, and Gosport Railway c_empany, of 1,000 shares to the
Oxford and Rugby Railway Compan r, and 2,000 shares to the Man-
chester and Birmingham Railway Company.
