THE GREAT ADVANTAGES

Of the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, over 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.

gicond. That It Is a more direct lino from London to Manehester
than even 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, anti 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 thevicinity—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 and in working order within tcn months from 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
Oxford, Southampton, and Gosport Railway Company ; of 1,000
shares to the Oxford and Rugby Railway Company ; and 2,000
shares to the Manchester and Birmingham Railway Company.

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.

This Company is formed for making a railway from Liverpool to
Derby, and will, in conjunction with the Manchester and Rugby
5 Direct, and London and Birmingham Railways, form the nearest
route from Liverpool to London. It will commence at Liverpool, and
proceed along the Liverpool and Manchester Railway to within a
short distance of the Whiston Inclined Plane, and thence branch off,
in a south-easterly direction, through Warrington, Knutsford, and
Congleton to Leek (there joining the Manchester and Rugby Rail-
way), and from thence through Ashbourne to Derby. The whole
length of the proposed line will be about sixty-'!x miles. It will be
seen by reference to the map that this important line of railway will
• form the shortest route froteLiverpool to London, and effect a direct
chain of communication between Liverpool and Derby, and will
thence, by means of the Midlands and other railvrays, 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 important intermediate 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 saving of 22 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 least
46 miles; an advantage which carries in itself the conviction of the
necessity there is for the proposed railway, in order to eonnect 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% utiles,
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 be 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 47% 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 83 miles; thus making the whole distance from Liverpool to
London 188% miles, instead of 210, by the present route.

Thi3 railway is intended to commence at the terminus of and
unite with the Nottingham and Lincoln Railway, at Lincoln, and to
proceed by or near Wragby and Market Raisen to Great Grimsby,
with a branch from or near Market Raisen to Louth, and a branch
from the main line near to and through Wragby to Ifonicastle.
The length of the main line from Lincoln to Grimsby will be about
32 miles, the branch to Louth about 10 miles, and the branch to

A glance at the map of Europe will show its superior local advantages.
The completion of this undertaking will facilitate a passenger
traffic as well as the transmission of grain, cattle, butter, wool, tins.,
her, stone, lime, manure, and other goods and merchandise, to and
front the great towns of Birmingham, Coventry, Leicester, Derby,
Nottingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and the intermediate towns and
manufacturing districts, and will open the coal-fields of Nottingham-
shire, Leicestershire, and Derbyshire, to Lincolnshire, and a direct
communication between the midland and western counties and the
port of Great Grimsby for ex ortation and Importation to and from
the markets of continental Europe. It will likewise render easy of
access that ancient and now 'quell-frequented and improving tea-
bathing place Cleethorpes, to and from which place a large amount
of passenger traffic may be relied on, being within the distance of
two miles from the proposed terminus at Great Grimsby.
The county of Lincoln abounds in agricultural productions, whilst
it is believed an inadequate recompense has hitherto accrued to
those engaged therein, by reason of which both produce land
have been depreciated in value, but now important advantages
