MIDLAND RAILWAY,
EXTEIISIONI3 TO BEDFORD AND 211:111TINGDON.

Increased Capital 500,000/., in New Shares of 201. each.

The Provisional Directors beg to inform the Subscribers that it has
been determined to carry out the original plan of this undertaking by
extending the line from Market Harborough to Bedford, where It will
unite with the Northern and Eastern Railway, and from the North-
ampton and Peterborough line, near Ditchford-bridge, to Huntingdon,
where it will unite with the Cambridge and Huntingdon and Ely and
Huntingdon Railways, thus completing a direct communication by
means of existing lines between the East of England and Birming-
ham and the manufacturing district!, without any infringement upon
vested interests.

The proposed extensions will also furnish a supply of coal, iron, and
other articles of heavy merchandise, to a district at present but ill
supplied with land or water carriage.
The heads of an arrangement of a highly satisfactory nature with
the Midland Counties and London and Birmingham Companies
having been made, it is intended that the entire line shall be laid
down under the able superintendence of Mr. Robert Stephenson.
Edmund Peel, Esq., Chairman of the Trent Valley Railway, and
Henry Teotal, Erg., have joined the Committee of Management, and
other important measures are in progress, the details of which will
shortly appear.
The greater part of the increased capital being placed at the dis-
posal of the London and Birmingham and Midland Counties Coln-
panics, the remainder will be appropriated amongst the landowners
and parties locally interested and holders of the present South Mid-
land scrip. No applications from the public can, therefore, be euter-
taMed.
Detailed particulars, with estimates of traffic and plans, will
shortly be issued, and may be obtained at the offices of the Com-
pany, 1, Gray's Inn-square, London.
By order,
GEORGE NEWTON BROWNE, Secretary.

RUGBY, DERBY, AND MANCHESTE.
RAILWAY.

(Provisiohally registered pursuant to 7 and S Viet., c. 110.)
-
This Railway will commence at the Rugby station of the London
and Birmingham Railway, and will proceed in nearly a straight line
to Derby, using so much of the Leicester and Swannington Railway
as lies in its course.

From thence it will join the High Peak and Manchester, Buxton.
Matlock, and Midland Railways.
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.
The proposed Railway will form a direct continuation of the Lon-
don and Birmingham Railway to Manchester, and thus supersede
the necessity of any direct Manchester and London Railway, as the
distance to London by this route will be as short as by either of the
proposed direct Manchester and London Railways.
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 ftom Derby to Rugby will establish the direct communica-
tion 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 support of the London and Birmingham, the North Midland,
and Manchester, Buxton, and Midland Railways, may be expected
for this line.

A report on the line by one of the most eminent engineers of the
day is iii course of preparation, after which a detailed prospectus,
with the names of a most powerful directory, together with the
amount of capital, &c., will be published. In the meantime com-
munications may be addressed to the Company's Solicitor,
T. G. BREWER, Esq., 13, Gray's Inn-square.
LANCASHIRE and NORTH YORKSHIRE
