This line will diverge from the line of the Great Eastern and
Western Railway, near Worcester, and proceeding by Brom-
yard, will end at Leominster, at which point it will unite with the
proposed lines connecting Hereford and Shrewsbury with North
Wales.

The communication by railway between these important towns
and the continuous hop and cider districts has been entirely left
unprovided for by existing arrangements, and this line is brought
forward under the auspices of the Great Eastern and Western
Railway Company, on the strong representations and request of a
large and most influential body of the landed gentry of the neigh-
bourhood.
The object proposed is to make a direct communication between
Leominster, Bromyard, and Worcester, which latter town has always
been the natural market for the produce of these districts, and to af-
ford the inhabitants the most direct communication with London, as
compared with other lines, by upwards of 30 miles.
No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the act is ob-
tained, and power will be applied for to allow Interest at 41. per cent.
on all calls from the time of their respective payments, as well as to
limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscrip-
tions.

The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway is a direct line from
London to Manchester, coming from London to Rugby, along the
London and Birmingham line, and proceeding from Rugby to Hinck-
ley through Market-Bosworth and Ashby-de-la-Zouch, to Derby,
thence to Ashbourne, by Leek to Macclesfield, and along the Mac-
clesfield and Stockport, and Stockport and Manchester Railways, into
Manchester.
A branch to Buxton is in contemplation.
The principle of this railway is to obtain a direct through line be-
tween some of the most important districts in the kingdom with the
least possible amount of new railway, and, consequently, the smallest
expenditure of capital.
It will also establish the shortest direct communication between
Derby and London, Sheffield and London, and between all the towns
on the North Midland Railway and London.
The Manchester, Derby, and Rugby Railway, will open a direct
communication between Manchester and Derby, and will consider-
ably shorten the distance between Manchester and Nottingham and
Manchester 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, and Manchester Railway, in connexion with
the Oxford and Rugby, and Oxford, Southampton, and Gosport Rail-
way, forms a direct Manchester and Southampton line.

TILE GREAT ADVANTAGES
Of the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, ever the other pro-
jects into Manchester, among oth'rs, are—
First. That there are only seventy-five miles of railway to be made
in place of one hundred and eighty-nine.
Second. That it is a more direct line from London to Manchester
than oven the proposed direct lines.
Third. That it interferes with no existing railway property or
vested interests.

Fourth. That it passes through a District rich in manufactures,
agriculture, and minerals, but which—more especially as regards Its
agricultural produce, and a convenient system of intercommunica-
tion for the conveyance of that agricultural produce, to supply the
large manufacturing towns in thevieinity—has been hitherto left to•
tally without railway communication.
Fifth. That it passes through the towns in its route, Instead of
avoiding them.
Sixth. That the whole line of railway from Rugby to Manchester
will be completed mitt in working order within ten months tram the
passing of the Act of Parliament.
Seventh. That the maps, plans, estimates, and other documents
required by the standing orders of Parliament will be lodged with the
parish clerks, the clerks of the peace for the counties, and the
Parliamentary -offices, on the 10th of November next, being twenty
days within the time required by the regulations of Parliament.
In the allotment of shares a preference will be given, to the ex
tent of 10,000 shares, to the holders of stock in the London and Bir-
mingham Railway ; also, of 2,000 shares to the shareholders in the
Oxtord, Southampton, and Gosport Railway Company ; of 1,000

and John Belcher, Esq.
SECRETARY.

This Company is formed for making a rallWay from Liverpool t
Derby, and will, in conjunction with the Manchester and Rugby
Direct, and London and Birmingham Railways, form the nearest
route from Liverpool to London. It win commence at Liverpool, and
proceed along the Liverpool and Manchester Railway to within a
short distance of the 'Masten Inclined Plane, and thence branch off,
In a south-easterly direction, through Warrington, linutsferd, and
Congleton to Leek (there joining the Manchester and Rugby Rail-
way), and from thence through Ashbourno to Derby. The whole
length of the proposed line will be about sixty-six miles. It will be
seen by reference to the map that this important line of railway will
form the shortest route from:Liverpool to London, and erect a direct
chain of communication between Liverpool and Derby, and will
thence, by means of the Midlands and other railways, open an unin-
terrupted route to the more eastern counties, and afford a complete
midland communication between the eastern and western parts of
the kingdom and the importantintermediate manufacturing districts.

The most important • feature in this railway is that it forms the
shortest road from Liverpool to London. The distance by it, with the
Manchester and Rugby, and London and Birmingham, will be only
188 miles, whereas by the present route it is 210 miles, and by the
Trent Valley Railway 200% miles ; effecting a aiming of 92 miles in
one instance, and 12% miles in the other.
And as regards Liverpool and Derby, the whole diStance between
Liverpool and Derby will be reduced by this line to about 74 miles,
thus decreasing the distance by any present existing railway, at lest
46 mil.; an advantage which oarrles in Itself the conviction of the
necessity there is for the proposed railway, in order to connect more
immediately two such important towns, especially when these towns
are but the foci, as it were, for other railways from still more distant
localities, as before adverted to.
The distance also from Manchester to Leek (where the proposed
railway will unite with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway)
will be about 30 miles, and from Leek to Derby about 26% miles,
making the whole distance from Manchester to Derby only 56%
miles ; and thus diminishing the distance by any present communi-
cation between those important towns by about 28 miles, an object
most desirable to he attained, and of itself quite sufficient to recom-
mend a line of railway embracing such beneficial results.
But great as these results most certainly will be, they are far out-
weighed by the very important consideration that, in conjunction
with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway, it will also be the
most direct route from Liverpool to London.

The distance from Liverpool to Leek (the proposed point of junc-
tion with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) is 47Y2 miles;
from Leek to Rugby, according to the line as proposed by the Man-
chester and Rugby Direct Railway, 58 miles, and from Rugby to
London $3 miles; thus making the whole distance from Liverpool to
London 188)6 miles, instead of 210, by the present route.
With regard to the traffic and other details connected with the
working of the line, it seems only necessary to revert to the great
importance of the towns proposed to be brought into communication
with each other, in order to convince the minds of all that the source
of revenue thus derived will be immense.
There aro no engineering difficulties connected with the forming of
the line.
The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share-
holders beyond the deposit now paid until the Act of Parliament is
obtained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 41. per cent
interest on all calls.
Applications for detailed prospectuses, maps, and shttres, may
be made to the Secretary, at the offices, 28, Moorgate-street,
London ; at Mr. Bethel's Offices, 78, King William-street, City,

This railway has been projected for the purpose of affording the
most direct means of communioation between the counties of Nor-
folk, Suffolk, Cambridge, and the towns of Peterborough and Stam-
ford on the Great Trunk lines from London to York—and Notting-
ham and the North Midland and North Western Counties
The length of the proposed line will be about thirty-three miles. It
is intended to commence at the Stamford station of the Syston and
Peterborough Railway, and following the direction of the river
Wash, proceeded by Emphighem, Whitwell, and Hambleton, to
Oakham; thence, at the foot of Rtmksborough-11111, along the Valley
to Burton-Lazarus, by the river Eye to Melton Mowbray; It will
then proceed by Holwell, between Long Clawson and Nether Brough-
ton, to Hickling, Kinoulton, and Owthorpe, and thence by West-
bridgoford to the station of the Midland Counties Railway at Not-
tingham.
In lieu of the present very circuitous and expensive route, it will
open up the shortest and most advantageous communication between
Norwich, Yarmouth, Lowestoft, Ipswich, Thetford, Bury St. Ed-
munds, Ely, Cambridge, Huntingdon, Peterborough, Stamford, and
other important towns in the eastern counties, and Nottingham,
Sheffield, Leeds, Stockport, Manchester, Liverpool, and the other
manufacturing towns in the north midland and northern counties.
In connexion with the Ipswich, Bury, and Ely, and Ely and Peter-
borough Railways, ou the one side, and the Manchester, Buxton and
Midlands Railway, on the other, this railway will complete the
cheapest and most direct route from the Government Port of Har-
wich to Manchester, and Liverpool, &c., thus opening to that most
important district the shortest and best communication with Holland
and Germany. A glance at the map will show better than the most
laboured description how advantageous this railway will be to the
towns of Peterborough, Stamford, and Nottingham.
The distance between Peterborough and Nottingham, by the Sys-
ton and Peterborough and Midlands Railway, will be 71% miles, and
from Stamford to Nottingham about 60 miles; by the Peterborough
anti Nottingham Junction Railway the distance to be traversed be-
tween those towns, will be about 45 miles ; aud between Stamford
and .Nottingham about 33 miles; the saving thus effected being, in
tne rormer vitae, nuove one-third, and in the latter near nau tile emi-
t:lnce, namely, upwards of 26% miles. To the rich agricultural coun-
ties of Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridge, and their populous towns,
the saving of distance of the intercommunication with Nottingham,
Sheffield; Ste., will be equally great.
It is obvious that the Peterborough and Nottingham Junction Rail-
way, while prepared to maintain an independent position, will never-
theless insure the co-operation and support of whichever the Great
Trunk Lines proposed to be constructed from London to York may be
v
sanctioned by Parliament. It is calculated that Nottinghamwill,b
this line, have a communication with the metropolis nearer by at
least 16% miles than it possesses by the present shortest route.
It is difficult to conceive that Parliament would sancLotion

Trunk
the con-
ru
addi-
stetion of a " Direct Line" from Nottin a
tion to the existing Midlands Railway, and galiGnareat t. Northern
Line via Huntingdon and Peterborough ; nor would such direct line
be productive of anything but unwarrantable injury to established
interests, and loss to those embarking their property in it, supposing
II did not eventually destroy all the wholesome effects of competi-
tion. But all the arguments in favour of such a project are at once
removed, when it is proved that the most direct line from Notting-
ham to London that could be made would be scarcely five miles
shorter than that which would be available by means of the Peter-
borough and Nottingham Junction Railway.
The traffic which this important junction line must command
will be of the most profitable kind. The coal and other mineral
traffic from the highly productive mineral districts already connected
with Nottinghatn, and which, by this railway, will thence find the
most convenient outlet to the counties of Norfolk, Cambridge, Suffolk,
&c., will alone yield a considerable per centage upon the capital.
Of the immense traffic in the conveyance of merchandise from
Nottingham and the manufacturing districts to the south-cast, and
of agricultural produce, &c., from the latter through Peterborough
to the North Midland and Northern Comities, it is evident that this
line will, from the convenience it offers, secure a large proportion.
The passenger traffic between Peterborough, Stamford, Oakham,
Melton Mowbray, and Nottingham, Is very great, and Itrretstpecittglih

In the allotment of shares a large proportion will be appropriated
to the landowners and parties locally interested along the line. Ap-

of the Committee, must give reference to some respectable broker,
