PROSPECTUS.
This undertaking is designed to supply the wants of an eaten-
die mineral and populous district, the local traffic of which alone
is aslinitted to be sufficient to support a railway, and amply re-
musse.rate the shareholders. The line will not only accomplish
so deskable an object, but it alsopossesses the advantage of forming
a direct c,ammunication, by the shortest possible route (in connexion
with existr,lfl and projected railways), between two of the most
important divisions of the kingdom.
It is intended to commence by joining the Grand Junction
Railway at Staffs. rd, and proceed by the Uttoxeter, Rochester,
and Ashbou' ne, to a junction with the Midland Railway, the Man_
chester, Buxton, Mat.lock, and Midland Railway, and the Amber-
gate, Nottingham, Boston, and Eastern Junction Railway, at the
General Terminus at Ars'ner-gate ; a short branch from Wirks.
e with that town, and the important
worth will connect the B.
limestone ond mineral distrit. t connected with it. The line will
its connection with the Midland
and Crewe Railway at Uf. be about forty miles long, and
tile route from Sheffield, York,
Railway at Amber-gate, and the .Derby
toxeter,l will be the nearest practica
districts of Yorkshire and
Leeds, Hull, the populous manufactut:ing
tland, to the salt districts of
the north and north eastern part of En
orth Wales, and by its
Cheshire, the Potteries, Liverpool and
•,,ion Railway, will be
junction at Stafford with the Shropshire D.
the nearest route from those important district :s to Shrewsbury and
South Wales, and by the Grand Junction Railway, to the densely
populated districts or South Staffordshire.
The district is destitute of water communicatiLnn and it la
resources of
only necessary to advert to a few of the prominent ,
the count's, to show the magnitude of the local traffic.
bola
gsable
The price of coals on all parts of the tine is very
carted a distance of 10 to 15 miles. The cost of this indispo:
article of consumption will be reduced nearly one•half, and This
line will immediately communicate with the Derbyshire and Stat.
fordshire coal-fields.
The line will pass several valuable quarries of Derbyshire marble
which is extensively used in all parts of the kingdom ; and also
numerous lead-smelting works and rolling mills, producing large
quantities of pig and sheet lead. It will affbrd an inexhaustible
supply of lime for the highly cultivated land on the banks of the
Dove and Southward. It will-open the Derbyshire mines to the
Copper and Zinc Smelting Works in the neighbourhood of Cheadle,
and will afford a direct communication with Sheffield for the articles
manu'actured at those works, which at present are carted to Derby,
a di • tance of more than twenty miles.
Already a large cattle traffic exists with the north, which will
unquestionably be greatly augmented by the facilities of this rail-
way, large importations of Scotch and Yorkshire cattle will be
brought for fattening on the luxuriant pastures of the Dove, talc.
ing in return to the markets of the manufacturing towns, the corn,
cheese, wool, and other produce of the extensive and fertile agri.
cultural district which surrounds the Staffordshire terminus of
this railway. It will bring the already large cheese and cattle fairs
of Uttoxeter and Ashbourne into greater importance.
The iron furnaces of South Staffordshire consume annually nearly
a million tons of limestone. It is well known that the iron-
masters give a decided preference to the limestone of the s

and the advantage of excavating the stone

mence at Tunbridge Wells, and take a direct course to Brighton,
passing near Mayfield, Rotherfield, Uckfield, Little Horsted. and
Lewes, where it will form a junction with the line, which is
nearly completed, between Lewes and Brighton.
The numerous visitors and inhabitants of the fashionable
watering-places of Tunbridge Wells, Brighton, and Hastings, will
thus not merely enjoy the means of rapid communication with
each other by railway —an advantage which ought to have been
supplied to them before this—but will also have, respectively,
when the proposed line from London to Tunbridge is formed, a
continued and direct railway to the metropolis.
The area embraced within these lines of railway is justly re..
ruarkable for the variety and value of its agricultural produce,
being one of the most extensive hop-districts in England, and not
inferior in general fertility to any part of the kingdom ; and when
it is considered that the metropolis is- the principal, indeed, it
may almost be said, the exclusive market for its productions, the
profits arising from the conveyance of those productions alone must
form (independent of passenger traffic) a very large source of
revenue to the shareholders.
Even from the already developed resources of the extensive,
wealthy, and populous districts through which the Company's lines
will run, the most encouraging estimate of results may be justly
entertained; and when the Hastings Dock and Harbour Company
(which has already been provisionally registered) shall have carried
into effect the proposed improvements, the line from that town to
Tunbridge Wells must become one of the most profitable in Eng.
land, as it will then be the great highway of continental tourists.
The route from London to Paris, by Hastings and Dieppe, is de.
cidedly the most direct, as well as the most interesting, which a
glance at the map of Europe will satisfactorily show.

tage,' must accrue from the establishment of a railway, bringing
them ovithin two hours of the metropolis, and, through it, by the
