► The Directors think it desirable to state that they sometime
sinc3 instructed Mr. Stephenson to prepare for Parliament in the
next ssseion a complete system for supplying railway communi-
cation with the whole of Kent. It is proposed to provide direct lines to
Tunbridge, Maidstone, Gravesend, Rochester, Chatham, Faversham,
Canterbury, and Dover. The surveys have been for some weeks in
progress, and the whole scheme will be very shortly in a complete
state. • JOHN KIRKLAND; Chairman,

This undertaking; originally called the Newark and Sheffield Rail-
'way, was, with its extensions, projected "with a view of affording
a direct outlet from the greatest corn and cattle producing districts
of England to the dense manufacturing population of Yorkshire and
Lancashire; and for the coals, lim,, building-stone, &c. &c., of the
Chesterfield, Dronfield, Mansfield, and l'inxton coal-fields ; of which
♦aluable minerals the whole eastern district is entirely destitute."
The Boston, Newark, and She Mel 1 Railway, carrying out fully
these most important objects, commences at the seaport of Boston,
passes by Sleaford, touching there the head of the Sleaford Canal,
and through the centre of the rich agricultural county of Lincoln, to
Hougham MIII, where it crosses and connects itself with the London
and York Railway, by which it gives a direct route to Newark and
Grantham, thence passing over the river Trent at Farndon, near
Newark, it forms a junction with the Nottingham and Lincoln line,
by which it opens a direct communication with Nottingham and
Derby ; it then proceeds through the towns of Southwell, Farnstleld,
and Mansfield, where it is joined by the existing railway from Pinx-
ton, and thence, by way of Bolsover, direct to the terminus at Shef-
field of the Manchester and Sheffield Railway.
In the only petition by which the Newark and Sheffield line was
opposed last session, it was alleged " that the railway is not called
for by any public necessity ;" but the overwhelming evidence of
traffic then produced has compelled those who were parties to that
allegation and opposition to admit publicly " that the district ought
to be supplied with railway communication."
The objection of the Duke of Devonshire that it interfered impro-
perly with his park at Hardwick-hall has been entirely obviated, as
the line passes far to the north of that mansion.
The only opposition to the railway being thus happily removed, no
competing line having been sanctioned last session, and this Com-
pany alone being in occupation of the ground, it is the hope, and will
Ise the endeavour, of the Directors to go to Parliament with an tin-
opposed Bill.
The gradients will be materially improved, and it being admitted
on all hands that railway accommodation is greatly wanted by the
whole district, it is confidently anticipated that. Parliament will
sanction the construction of a line by that Company, who, possess.
ing strong local support, have, at great expense, surveyed the coun-
try, developed the traffic, and proved, to the satisfaction of even
their opponents, that such an undertaking will be most beneficial to
the public, and remunerative to the shareholders.
No direct canal or other conveyance, beyond the ordinary
turnpike roads, provides transit for the commodities of the district.
The bulk of the cattle, and the agricultural produce of Lincolnshire,
and the large quantities of flour and malt, made at and near the
towns of Newark, Mansfield, &c., find their way at present to the
markets in the west, chiefly by circuitous water conveyance, and
the cost and delay attending their transmission are enormous. The
extensive cotton manufactories of Mansfield, Pleasley, • &c., also
suffer from the same evils, In these respects the saving will be very
great to all, by the proposed railway communication. The farmer,
the miller, and the maltster, by the removal of all uncertainty In the
transit of their goods, can at at any time avail themselves promptly
of the most favourable markets. In the conveyance of cattle, the
benefits of a railway are shared by both dealers and consumers.
To the town of Newark the saving in the price of coals will be 40
per cent., and the flour and dealt sent thence to Lancashire, &c.,
will be conveyed to market in a few hours, instead of seven or ten
days as at present, and at less than half the cost.
A friendly company has undertaken to make a railway from
Mansfield to Nottingham, with a branch to Clay Cross, and the
avidity with which the shares in that project have been taken up,
chiefly by parties resident in the locality, proves the great probable
utility, of the line, which proposes to run into a common station at
Mansfield.
A glance at the map will show the following important advantages
from these proposed combinations:—
let. A direct communication, shorter than nay other existing
or projected, between Boston, the great agricultural parts of Lin-
colnshire and Nottinghamshire, and the populous manufacturing
towns of the West—Sheffield, Manchester, Iluddenfield, &c., &c., and
also between these places and the town of Nottingham.
2d. The great coal fields of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire
will be meet thoroughly laid open • to the markets of Lincolnshire

The object of this undertaking is to supply railway communication
to the towns and districts lying between the London and Birming-
ham, and the Great Western Railways, giving them the best means
of access to the metropolis, and connecting them also with the
Northern and Eastern lines of railway, as welt as with Oxford and
the South.
The main line will commence from the London and Birmingham
Railway, near Harrow, and passing to the north of Uxbridge, will
proceed up the Valley by Chalfont, near Amersham and Chesham to
Missenden and Wendover, and thence to Aylesbury; from which
place it will extend to Buckingham, and passing near Winslow, and
approaching Brackley, w ill terminate by a Junction with the proposed
Warwickshire and London Railway, near Banbury.
In addition to the line above described. it is intended also to con-
struct a Railway from the central station of the London and Bir-
mingham Railway at 'Wolverton to Buckingham, and thence through
Bicester to Oxford; and in connexion with the line here proposed,
the 132:ifont, and London and Birmingham Company, intend to make
a connecting line between Bedford and Wolverton.
The proposed iSuctingham and London and Birmingham Railway
Company (for the construction of a line from Wolverton to Bicester)
is amalgamated with this Company.
Accurate surveys of the country have been taken by Mr. Robert
Stephenson, and it has been ascertained that no engineering difficulty
of importance presents itself.
the undertaking has already received the sanction and support of
a very large proportion of the Nobility, Gentry, and Proprietors of
land through or near whose property it is intended to pass.
It is proposed that these lines should be made with the co-operation,
and under the direction and superintendence of the London and
Birmingham Railway Company; under a lease, in perpetuity, at
four per cent. per annum on the outlay, with a conditional arrange-
ment as to the surplus profits.
It is intended to offer the shares in such proportion as the amount
of capital will allow of, to the holders of shares in the London,
Worcester and South Staffordshire Railway Company, subject to the
approbation of the Committee of Management, with the exception
of such as may be required for parties having local interests.

The promoters of this Railway, encouraged by the favourable sup-
port which has been given to the project, andm compliance with the
various recommendations they have received, hit-e determined upon
the addition of a branch to Birkenhead, which, although it will
manifestly tend to the advantage of the Shareholders and the public,
will be attended with conwaratively little additional outlay. The
project will still retain its chief characteristic of a direct railway,
and by its connexion, near Warrington, with the Grand Junction
Company, is sufficiently comprehensive, without resorting to a com-
plicated system of branch lines, or materially conflicting with the in-
terests of existing' companies.
The line will commence at the city of Chester, and proceed by way
of Trafford, Frodsham, and Preston Brook, to Warrington, thence
by Lymm and Stretford direct to Manchester. From a point on the
main line, near Frodsham, a branch will be taken to join the Chester
and Birkenhead Railway, so as to unite Manchester in the most
direct manner possible, with the docks now being formed at Bir.
kenhead.

As Manchester, from its geographical position, is the centre of rail-
way communication between Suotl Ind and the most populous dis-
tricts of England, so Chester, from a like cause, is the great centre of
railway communication between the capitals of Ireland and of Eng-
land. To connect these two points by a direct and independent line
of railway must, therefo7e, be of the utmost importance, not only in
a local point of view, bitt to-the whole commercial intercourse of the
country. .
This line will be the most direct router by Holyhead, to Ireland,
and will be, in all respects, by far the preferable channel of inter-
course and transit between Ireland and the great manufactu.-ing dis-
tricts of Engl tint " by the railways connecting Chester with Wrex-
ham, Oswestry, Shrewsbury, Hereford," Gloucester, and South Wales,
this will be the nearest route from Manchester to the south-western
parts of England; and to the mineral districts of Monmouth and
Glamorganshire The' communication with Bristol, Gloucester, and
Exeter will be speedy and direct. On reference to the map, it will
be seen that a 'verY considerable distance will be saved by this line,

It is confidently expected that this line will be the precursor of
another' scheme, of no ordinary importance—namely, to render
Chester an efficient port tbr large vessels.
This subject was entertained by Sir John Rennie in 1835, and sub-
sequently, in the same year, by the late Mr. Chapman, who wrote an
able report upon the capabilities of the raver Dee.. It was again
investigated, in 1837, by Sir John Rennie and Mr. George Remington,
and the practle,bility of forming a good navigable channel for vessels
of large burden, together with docks at Chester, was then fully and
clearly established.
The entrance channel would commence at Dawpool. which is easy
of access (ant infinitely preferab e, in point of access and safety, to
the docks at Liverpool or Birkenhead), for vessels of large burden,
during eight hours every tide, both at springs and neaps ; and the
cill of the lock would be sufficiently low to admit vessels drawing 20
feet water to enter at all tides.

This railway, therefore, in connexion with the proposed docks,
Will render to Chester and :Manchester incalculable advantages. To
the former it will restore the proper position natural to so important
a city ; to the latter it will give another outlet, by sea, to the ma-
nufac uring districts, free of the heavy port charges, dues, and
risks to which the produce is now subject. It has not been thou:ht
advisable to combine the two objects in oue c.,mpany at premit,
but should it be fou-Al requisite, the two may hereafter be amalga-
mated.

Merits of no ordinary degree, therefore, may fairly be claimed for
this railway, whether taken in connexion with the proposed docks,
or as standing alone, combining as it does all the advantages of any
other lines, with this great addition, that it will be the high road to
the most convenient outport of Minchcster, and will be quite inde-
pendent of any associations or influences tint might tend to oppose
the growing desire for a moans 01 direct and independent communi-
cation between Manchester and the port of Chester.
The line has been carefully examined. There are no difficult
earth-works to be encountered ; on the contrary it will be cheap,
and of easy formation. Power is reserved to the Committee to de.
viate from the proposed line in the vicinity of Manchester, should
ulterior arrangements render it expedient.
