PROVISIONAL COMMITTLE.

This line has for its object a direct communication between the
city of Lincoln and the populous and nourishing 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, together with the whole of the mann-
facturimg districts of Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Nottingham, and Lan-
cashire, will be highly beneficial.
The line will commence' at Lincoln, at thejunction 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 ant.ther 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 upon in the goods
traffic from those grpat emporiums of commerce above alluded to,
without taking into consideration the immense passen Ter traffic
which must necessarily arise upon so important a line of railway.
Every regard will be paid to local accommodation, and 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.
Preference in the allotment of shares will be given to the land-
owners and others locally interested, as well as to the connecting
lines. _ _ _

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

street, London ; and Messrs. Tate and Nash, and Messrs. Edwards

This railway is proposed to commence at Uxbridge, proceeding
thence to the Southall station of the Great Western Railway, and
then through Heston to Hounslow, there meeting one of the proposed
lines to Hounslow from London. Leaving Hounslow the line pro-
ceeds through Whitton, Twickenham, Teddington, and Hampton,
to Kingston, and, crossing the Thames, joins the Kingston station of
the South-Western Railway, whence it will proceed to, and terminate
at, Epsom,
The towns and places through which the line passes, or most imme-
diately affects, contain an aggregate pepulation of about 200,000
persons.
To the inhabitants of the important town of Uxbridge, this line
presents the most direct communication with the metropolis, adopt-
ing the old course taken by the coaches, viz., through Hillingdon,
Hayes, Southall, &c., contrasting favourably with the present cir-
cuitous route to London, by coach or omnibus to West Drayton, and
thence by the Great Western Railway. With the present limited
railway accommodation, the corn returns of Uxbridge show an in-
crease of 30 per cent. upon the average of the last two years.
The weekly market at Southall is second in importance to Smith-
field, and it is attended by the graziers and butchers from all parts of
the neighbouring country and the metropolis.
By means of this line, and one of the proposed lines from London
to Hounslow, which this will Intersect, Brentford, the county-town
of 'Middlesex, and the Thames, will be brought into immediate con-
nexion with Uxbridge ; the traffic between the last-named towns has
hitherto materially helped to produce the large dividends of the Grand
Junction Canal.
By means also of this line, and the Croydon and Epsom line (now
in course of construction), all the before-Mentioned towns and places
are likewise connected with Croydon.
The importance of connecting two such towns as Uxbridge and
Brentford with Kingston, Croydon, and Epsom, three of the largest
market-towns in Surrey, between which the present agricultural traffic
is extensive, is too obvious to reqUire comment. A glance at the map
will at once show that the communication now proposed is not only
judicious, but, in order to satisfy the requirements of the important
and populous district involved, is actually imperative. It will afford
to Uxbridge and the towns in Hertfordshire north of it, with which
it will be connected by proposed new lines, direct transit to the Great
Western, Southampton, and Portsmouth Railways, and by the
established lines, southward, to Shoreham, Brighton, Dover,
Ramsgate, and all the south and south-eastern parts of tha
kingdom, avoiding the loss of time and great inconvenience of going
round by the metropolis. So also as to Brentford, Hounslow, King-
ston, and Epsom—it will afford to them access to the Great Western,
London and Birmingham, and Northern and Eastern linos; and by
this line, in connexion with one proposed to Hounslow from the me-
tropolis, and the other proposed and established lines north and south
of it, easy access will be afforded to Hampton-court, Epsom, and
other favourite places of resort. There can be no doubt, therefore,
that the passenger traffic alone will be sufficient to pay a very large
dividend on the outlay.
The average number of persons visiting Hampton-court in the
,•ummer months amounts to about 18,000 per week.
The supply by the aounty of Kent and western division of Middle-
sex of the north and north-western markets with fruit during the
au, would, by this line, be immensely increased, and form another
Of income to the Company.

This Cempany 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
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 jeining the Manchester and Rugby Rail-
way), and from thence through Ashbourne 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 fromiLiverpool to London, and effect 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
ilnog
miles, and by the
hani w
midland communication between the eastern and western paertsonolyf
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

necessity there is for the proposed railway, in order to connect more
localities, as before adverted to.

The distance also frem Manchester to Leek (where the proposed

railways
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 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 473( 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.
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
I of revenue 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
obtained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 4/. per cent
interest on all calls.

SECRETARY.—George F. Hire, 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, alone, be suffi-
cient to ensure full support to the present undertaking, from the
dense population, manufacturing influence, and general traffic of the
towns in questiom ; 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 Skeftield
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 teo
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 allotment of shares, the applications from parties resident
on the line will be preferred.
Applications for prospectuses and shares to be mad* at the offices of
the Company's Solicitors, Messrs. Cattarns and Fry, 62, Mark-lane,
London, and G. A. Colman,'Esq., 2, New Inn, Strand ; and of the under-
