The present Company has been formed for the construction of a
line of railway from Madrid to the cityand port of Valencia, the mast
central seaport on the Mediterranean. It will open out the re•
sources of an extensive district of country, eastward from the capital,
remarkable for the richness and fertility of its soil, the varied abun-
dance of its productions, and the commercial spirit of its inhabitants.
This railway is authorised by a special ordinance of her Majesty
the Queen of Spain ; and from its vast importance as a national route
of intercommunication her Majesty has been pleased to accompany
the grant with all the privileges and immunities which the Crown is
empowered to confer upon a railway company. Amongst these may
be enumerated-
1. A lease of the line and of its branches for 99 years.
2. The gratuitous grant of such Government and corporation lands
RS may be required for the railway.
3. The free use of all timber, the property of the State, that may be
necessary for the works, or for other purposes.
4. The exemption for ten years, to be computed from the com-
mencement of the works, of all import duties on the machinery,
rails, and other articles requisite for the completion of the railway.
5. The entire exemption from all national and local taxes that
could otherwise be levied upon the railway, works, or buildings of
any description, and upon the capital represented by the shares.
6. The Government is not to interfere with the Company's tariff
of charges for the space of forty years from the completion of the
works ; and no revision thereof is to take place on the expiration of
that period that can sink the profits below 15 per cent.
7. The line is to be classed, by a special law, under the title of a
" work of public utility," and as such to enjoy the royal patronage
and protection, and all the peculiar privileges attached to important
national undertakings.
The proposed line, thus largely endowed, is about 240 miles in
length, being upwards of 150 miles nearer the capital than the ports
of Cadiz and the north coast of Spain, and generally nearer than any
other port in the kingdom. Although it has not yet been minutely
surveyed, It is well known that there is no similar district of equal
extent in the kingdom which presents so few engineering difficulties.
For upwards of 80 miles the line will traverse the almost level plain
of Valencia ; and emerging from the boundaries of the province, it
will follow as nearly as possible the course of the rivers which flow
east and west from the central plateau in the province of Cuenca,
and approach Madrid by the valley of the Manzanares. The line
will either pass through or accommodate the most important towns
in the two provinces, which will thus be brought into rapid com-
munication with the capital on the one side, a seaport on the other.
This railway will be the means of supplying Madrid, containing
300,000 inhabitants, entirely dependent for provisions upon the con-
tiguous provinces, at a cheap rate, with the rich products of the pro-
vinces of Valencia, which abounds in most valuable mines, and is
beyond comparison the most fertile district of Spain.
Valencia, brought by this communication within ten hours' dis-
tance of the chief market of Spain, must necessarily become the
port at which all vessels with supplies for the metropolis will unload,
and the centre of the coasting trade along the whole sea-line from
Barcelona to Gibraltar.

It appears that England will be divided longitudinally by four great
lines of railway, which will become so many main trunks, intersec-
lag and intersected by numerous lines, both transverse and cslique,
opening rapid and ready communication with the intermediate dis-
tricts, with packet statioit with seaport towns. The more
eesterly of these, which t,, alsoalll
the longest, originating at Newcastle-
upon-Tyne, and passing thr
aYork, Peterborough, and Gambridge,
may be said tot erminate ii:ll,,ogenstwon, whence all places are accessible.
The second line, countln westward is more tortuous, and has also
a common northern terminus with
nt:,i.preceding, by which its ad-
vantages are materially restricted.

wash Vale, and passing through Rugby anlilnej

ampton line by falling into the South-Western Railway at Basing-

tective in design than the preceding ; employing trhlye'st railway called the Birmingham a.nd Gloucester as iLeptiarnds narrow

The traffic in passengers and goods now existing between Madrid
and Valencia has been correctly ascertained, showing the following
results :
The annual number of passengers travelling between
Madrid and Valencia, and the Intermediate towns, is
upwards of 42,000 ; but taking that number at the
present cost of conveyance by stage coaches, private
7n:carriages, galeras, and waggons, the amount will be x 67,800
The annual weight of goods conveyed betwe.r. the two
cities and the intermediate localities is 4,903,003 or.
from which the return is estimated at - -

The royal ordinance authorises the erection of an electric tele-
graph along the line, which will answer the double purpose of placing
the railway under the special protection of the Government, and
closely uniting it with all the railways that intersect the kingdom
and have their common termini in Madrid, to which capital maritime

taneously communicated.

This line of railway, which is about sixty-five miles in length, is
intended to commence at Uttoxeter (the terminus of the proposed
Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Worcestershire Junction Railway) and
to proceed to Sheffield and Huddersfield. It will form a direct com-
munication between two of the most important manufacturing and
mining districts in England, viz., South Staffordshire, Huddersfield,
and Sheffield, and Rotherham in Yorkshire; the South Staffordshire
portion including Dudley, Tipton,Walsall, Bilston, Wednesbury, and
Wolverhampton.
This line will also open a direct railway communication between
Leeds, Huddersfield, and the West Riding of Yorkshire and Kidder-
minster, Worcestershire, Cheltenham, Glouctster, Bristol, Taunton,
and Exeter, and with Ludlow, Leominster, tHereford, Brecon, Car-
diff, Neath, Swansea, Llanelly, Caermarthen, Milford Haven, Fish-
guard, Aberystwith, and with Porthdynllaen, the future outport for
Ireland. And also the most direct communication between Leeds
and Southampton.
The line will pass nearly along the Uttoxeter and Caldon Canal to a
point near Prestwood, in case the canal be purchased by the pro-
moters of this undertaking. It will proceed through Ellaston and
Mayfield to Ashbourne, thence near Dovedale, Buxton, and Chapel-
en-la-Frith, Woodhead and Holmfirth to Huddersfield, where it will
join the Huddersfield and Leeds Railway, and so to Thirsk. It will
open new mines, in addition to those already in work, of lead, coal,
iron ore, barytes, and carboniferous and magnesian limestone on the
route, in addition to forming a direct, speedy, and cheap communica-
tion between the important towns above mentioned.
Arrangements have been made with other companies to run into
this line from Sheffield. This company reserves the right to raise
additional capital to extend the line to Leeds.
Many of the above-mentioned mineral productions are essential to
the mining districts of South Staffordshire and Sheffield. The North
Staffordshire and Derbyshire Limestone is much superior to that of
South Staffordshire in the fluxion of iron (15 cwt. of the former being
equal to a ton of the latter), and producing a better quality of ma-
terial. At present, the mode of transit is very circuitous and expen-
sive, the line from the Caldon Mines having to go by canal round
by Etruria, Leek, and the Potteries, to the Dudley and surrounding
furnaces, when, by this railway, it would be taken in a straight line
to them ; and the Ashbourne, Cromford, Worksworth, and Bakewell
country would have an entirely new trade opened to them. The iron-
stone in the neighbourhood of Sheffield is also becoming very scarce,
and great quantities are introduced from Scotland; the same scarcity
exists in South Staffordshire; and the route of this line would fur-
nish a cheap and good supply, at present not worked, and without a
market, both north and south. In addition to these great advan-
tages, a good local market would be opened along the agricultural
and other parts of the district at present very badly supplied with
lime and coal, and that of an inferior quality, and by expensive car-
riage. It is, therefore, next to impossible to calculate the immense
traffic which would pour down this line and the Derbyshire, Stafford-
shire, asd Worcestershire Junction Railway.
The calculations which have been made show a very large profit.
There are large lead and slate quarries on the line which only want
an outlet like the one now contemplated to bring them Into full work.
The coal is of a superior quality.
There are also extensive barytes and paint-works at Ashbourne,
Cromford, and other places on the line. The scenery of Derbyshire
is the resort of vast numbers of tourists ; and particular care will be
taken, in passing of the line near Dovedale, not to interfere with or
change its beautiful and romantic character. The convenience,
therefore, which this line will afford must necessarily cause a great
influx of passengers, both on business and pleasure.
Ironstone is not so abundant in the South as In North Staffordshire,
and vast quantities are sent by the tardy, circuitous, and expensive
canal company, which this and other lines of railway meeting at
Uttoxeter will remedy.
The gypsum formation runs from Staffordshire to the Humber, and
the demand for this article for building, agricultural, and Manufac-
turing purposes along this line will be great.
The timber from the neighbourhood of the Needwood Forest
Banks, Bagots Woods, and Kingston Woods, upwards of 4,000
acres, chiefly finds its way to the Manchester market by a
like objectionable route of tardy and circuitous canal convey-
ance ; whereas this line would open a direct, easy, and cheap
communication to new markets. The line has been viewed prior to
a detailed survey, and there are not more than ordinary engineering
difficulties. In consequence of the late Parliamentary decisions, it is
intended to make this line on the broad gauge principle, but the pro-
moters do not pledge themselves absolutely to do so,

this line whiclircznLyr a IA ofitahle amount of traft!c cuiain, th.,-; fa-
cilities afforded by nature for its construction are greater than those
upon any other English line.
The cheapness of the construction of lines in Belgium, and the
safety upon them, arising from the level character of the country,
are proverbial. The districts through which the line will pass, pos-
sess all the advantages of a Belgian course, together with the ad-
ditional facility afforded by the established dead level of the Nene
navigation.
A survey, by a distinguished engineer, has resulted in a report
that the expenses of its construction will be small beyond all prece-
dent, and that in an unusully short space of time the various towns
and districts which it will affect, may be in possession of the com-
mercial, social, local, and general benefits which it is so calculated to
confer.
Public meetings will promptly be held in all the towns along the
line, at which a deputation from the promoters will attend, to give
whatever information may he required.
Applications for shares may be addressed to Willinn Andrews,
Esq., at the Offices of the Company, No. 41, 3loorgate-street ; or to
Thomas George Smith, Esq., at No. 2, Warnford-court, Throgmorton-
