This line has for its object a direct communication between the
city of Lincoln and the populous and flourishing town of Sheffield,
and will also be the means of forming a complete line from Yarmouth
through Norwich to Manchester and Liverpool, thereby uniting the
two great ports of. Yarmouth and Liverpool, whose commerce is
somewhat dissimilar, and, consequently, a reciprocal benefit must be
the result.

The distance from Lincoln to Sheffield by this line will be forty
miles only, whereas the nearest route by any projected line at pre-
sent cannot be less than sixty miles, thereby saving a distance of
twenty miles, as well as an'enormous unnecessary expense.
The immediate connexion between Yarmouth and Norwich, and all
intermediate towns and cities, togother with the whole of the manu-
facturing districts of Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Nottingham, and Lan-
cashire, will be highly beneficial.
The line will commence at Lincoln, at the junction of the projected
ra lway from Lynn Regis to Lincoln, and proceeded from thence
across the country through East Retford to Sheffield, and there
join the Sheffield and Manchester Railway. Should the projected
line from Macclesfield to • Sheffield be carried into effect, it will
then add another important commercial town to those already ad-
verted to, and increase the traffic to vast extent.

A reference to the map will readily show the great importance
and utility of such a line.

A more than usual revenue may be calculated 1113011 in the goods
traffic from those great emporiums of commerce above alluded to,
without taking into consideration the immense rassen •cr traffic
which must necessarily. arise upon so important a line of railway.
Every regard will tie paid to local accommodation, awl a close
scrutiny will convince those who are aware of the exigencies of the
towns and distriCts embraced within the scope of the intended line,
of the advantages which must accrue from it.

Prel erence in, the allotment of shares will be given to the land-
owners and others locally interested, as well as to the connecting
lines.

Subi,eribers will be only liable to the extent of their deposits.
Applications for shares to be made to Messrs. Miller and Carr, 47,

This Csmpany is formed for making a railway from Liverpool to
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 will commence at Liverpool, and
miles. It will be
ixline of railway will
-d'aeinld Derby, and will
proceed along the Liverpool and Manchester Railway to within a
short distance of the Winston Inclined Plane, and thence branch off,
in a south-easterly direction, through Warringt,ona,,,Kd teitructscftorad,
directand
Congleton to Leek (there joining the Hanchester and Rugby Rail-
way),and afford a complete
and from thence through Ashbournc to Derby. The whole
and

thisabout,o
Loih,
to
ors importantpiL
thence, b
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, win be only
yromuetr to of
fhthe the Midlands
eaeastern
188 miles, whereas by the present route it is 210 miles, and by the
Trent Valley Railway 2003 miles ; effecting a saving of 22 Miles in
one instance, and 123 miles in the other.
And as regards Liverpool and Derby, the whole distance between
Liverpool and Derby will he reduced by this line to about 74 miles,
thui decreasing the distance by any present existing railway, at least
4G miles; an advantage which carries in itself the conviction of the
necessity there is for the proposed railway, in order to eonueet 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% wiles,
making the whole distance from Manchester to Derby only 563¢
miles ; and thus diminishing the distance by any present communi-
cation tetween those important towns by about 28 miles, an object
most desirable to be attained, and of itself quite sufficient to recom-
mend a line of railway embracing such beneficial results.
Bet 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 propoied point of Junc-
tion with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) is 47% miles;
from Leek to Rugby, according; to the line as proposed by the Man-
chester and Rugby Direct Railway, 513 miles, and from Rugby to
London 83 miles ; thus making the whole distance from Liverpool to
London 1883 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 reve.me thus derived-will be immense.
There are 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
ohtalned, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 4/. per cent
interest on all calls.
Applications for detailed prospectuses, maps, and shares, may

Wm. Bennett, Esq., Chapel-en-le-Frith.
SECRETARY.—George F. HIM ESQ. _ _

This important line, commencing at the terminus 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-Frith, and Whaley (the great
canal-port of the Potteries), to the terminus of the Manchester and
Macclesfield Railway, at Macclesfield, the total length of the line
being nearly thirty miles.
The importance of connecting these termini would, 'time, be suffi-
cient to ensure full support to the present undertaking, front the
dense population, manufacturing influence, and general traffic o: the
towns in question ; 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 railway communi-
cation and transit between the river Humber, the towns of Sheffield
and Macclesfield, the Staffordshire Potteries, the Salt Wiches of
Cheshire, the city of Chester, the docks of Liverpool and Birkenhead,
Bangor Ferry, and the harbour of Holyhead, the advantages are too
manifest to be for a moment questioned.
The surveys are Bow in progress, and will be completed without
delay, in order to go to Parliament at the ensuing session.
In the aHotment of shares, the applications from parties resident
on the line will he preferred.
