The national object of this undertaking is to create a direct and
united communication between the eastern and western parts of the
kingdom.
On reference to a railway map of England, it will at once be seen
that Stafford and Crewe, on the Grand Junction and Derby, and
Belper, on the Midland Railway, are the centres to which a great
number of lines of railway, either already constructed or projected,
converge ; and between these four points no railway exists.
The West Midland Railway proposes to mute these points in the
following way :—By commencing one of its arms at Crewe station,
on the Grand Junction Railway, which will run through or near
Newcastle-under-Lyre, Bursham, Stoke-upon-Trent, Lane End, and
Cheadle, to Uttoxeter, where its other arm from Stafford will meet it
and proceed thence, by Ashbourne to a point near the Belper station
on the Midland Railway, where it will take advantage of the pro-
posed Derby and Gainsborough, Nottingham and Mansfield, and
Boston, Newark, and Sheffield' Railways ; thus opening a direct com-
munication between Holyhead and other parts of North Wales,
Cheshire, Staffordshire, and Shropshire; en the one hand, and Sheffield,
Retford, Mansfield, Nottingham, Newark, Norwich, and the ports of
Gainsborough, Grimsby, Boston, Spalding, Lynn and Yarmouth, on
the other.
This line will aceoMtnodate a very considerable portion of the traffic
proceeding from the west coast of Scotland, Cumberland, and Lanca-
shire, into Lincolnshire and the south-eastern parts of the kingdom,
and by that portion of the line which is proposed to run between
Belper and Statierd, and the whole of the traffic from the east coast
of Scotland, Northumberland, Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire,
and other populous northern counties passing to the west and south-
west, together with the opulent mineral districts of South Wales, will
be effectually served.
Passing as this line will do, through a densely-populated and ex-
clusive manufacturing district, it must be viewed, even in its local
character, as one of vast importance. The mere enumeration of the
towns affected 4" it would suffice to show that the traffic over it
will be immense ; but, in addition to this, when credit is taken for the
thorough traffic passing diagonally over the line from south-east to
north-west, and from north-east to south-west, as well as for the
corn and other aaricultural produce from the eastern totinties to the
manufacturing districts • and a return carriage of manufactnr, d
goods, slates firm North Waits, salt from Cheshire, earthenware
from Stafforashire, and iron from Shropshire, for the consumption of
the midland counties as well as for export from the eastern ports
of Hull, Grimsby, Boston, Spalding, &c., some adequate idea May
be farmed of the advantages which the complc inn of this
eomprehengive scheme will naturally develop. All these objects
have been deeply and seriously considered, and deemed of such para-
mount importance to local interests, that the fulleat and most in-
fluential suppert and co-operation have been obtained to effectually
carry out and insure the various objects of this undertaking.
Surveys of the district have been made with much care, and the
result is highly favourable in an engineering point of view.
The Committee in the allotment of shares will give a preference to
partfeertbeiallyitatorested, and in all cases satisfactory reference will
be required to some person of known respectability.
Power will be taken in the act to allow interest, at the rate of 4L
per cent. per annum, on the deposits, as well as on all future calls,
from the date of each payment, till the opening of the whole line, or
until a dividend be declared ; and the liability of subscribers will be
limited by the Act of Parliament to the amount of their respective
shares.
The shares and all payments made thereon will be forfeited with-
out notice, should the holders thereof not sign the Subscribers' Agree-
ment and Parliamentary Contract as soon as required.
Applications for shares in the form annexed may bemade to the So-
licitors, or the undermentioned Sharebrokers :

The object of this line is to make a short and direct communication
between the populous manufacturing and iron and coal districts of
Bradford, Cleckheaton, Heckmondwike, Batley, Dewsbury, Barns-
ley, and Sheffield, with the wool and agricultural districts of Lei-
cestershire, Derbyshire, Doncaster, Galusborough, Lincoln, &c., and
the port of Boston.
The line will form a junction with the West Yorkshire, the Leeds
and Dewsbury, and the Manchester and Leeds Railways, at or
near Dewsbury; and thence proceed by Darton to Barnsley, and
Wombwell, to or near to Wath-upon-Dearne, near Swinton ; where
it will join the North Midland Railway, and also meet the proposed
r iancation by the mYexisting
line to Doncaster, Ti try a

south; and by the projected Hull and Barnsley Junction Railway;
communication
also form a direct line to Hull, and by the Leeds and Thirsk
Railway, a direct line to the nortk.
The line will also be continued from Barnsley by Tankersley and
Chapeltown to Sheffield.
A branch will run to the various Ironworks and Colliery Rail-
ways, near Wentworth ; and another branch will run to the Silk-
stone Colliery Railways.
A direct line of communication will thus be formed between the
imrortant manufacturing places of Bradford, Bierley, Cleckheaton,
Gomersahl, Heckmondwike, Liversedge, Batley, Dewsbury, Ossett,
Thornhill, Barton, Barnsley, Ardsley, and Wombwell, to Wath-
upon-Dearne, Doncaster, Lincolnshire, the port of Boston, and the
south, and also to Sheffield ; affording the best possible accommoda-
tion to the rich iron and coal districts of Silkstone, Worsborough,.
Tankersley, Chapeltown, and Sheffield; whilst the wools and raw
materials ased in the manufactures at Bradford, Pudsey, Earlsheaton,
Cleckheaton, Batley, Heckmondwike, Dewsbury, and Barnsley, as
well as corn and cattle, will be received by the shortest and most di-
rect line of transit from Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire,
and the southern parts which supply these commodities, in exchange
for the manufactures, coals, and minerals of those districts.
It must be evident to every one, on looking at the map, that this
line is imperatively called for, as up to this period the only rail-
way communication for the supply of wool and other goods, and the
conveyance of passengers to Dewsbury, Ileckmondwike, Batley,
Cleckheaton, Bradford, and the intermediate places (each containing
a numerous manufacturing population), has been the North Midland
line by Nonnanton—a very circuitous route, as appears by the fol-
lowing statement of distances of those places :

The present distance to Sheffield from Bradford is about bl miles;
by the proposed line it will be 31,—0r a saying of 20 miles.
From Dewsbury by the present route Sheffield is distant 40 miles ;
by the proposed line it will be 21,—0r a saving of 19 miles.
The same observations, as to saying of distance, apply to London
and all intermediate places ; and it is important to observe that either
by the present North Alidiand line, or by the projected London and
York Railway, this proposed line will be the shortest and most direct
route from Bradford, Dewsbury, &c., to London.
It may also be noticed, that from Swinton to Leeds by this project
and the. Leeds and Dewsbury line, the distance is much less than by
way of Normanton.
The following table, taken from the Parliamentary Census of 1841,
will give some idea of the populous Districts through which the line
passes !

This line will diverge from the line of the Great Eastern and
Western Railway,. near Worcester, and proceeding by Bran-
yard, will end at Leominster, at which point it will unite with the
proposed lines connecting Ilereford and Shrewsbury with North
Wales.
The communication by railway between these important towns
and the continuous hop and eider districts has been entirely left
unprovided for by existing arrangements, and this line is brought
forward under the auspices of the Great Eastern and Western
Railway Company, on the strong representations and request of a
large and most influential body of the landed gentry of the neigh-
bourhood.
The object proposed is to make a direct communisation between
Leominster, Bromyard, and Worcester, which latter town has always
been the natural market for the produce of these districts, end 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 Csmpany 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 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-six miles. It will be
seen by reference to the map that this important line of railway will
form the shortest route from'Liverpool 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
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 he only
lid 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 1231 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 connect more
immediately two such Important towns, especially when these towns
are but the Mei, 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 2631 miles,
making the whole distance from Manchester to Derbyent communi-
only 66%
miles ; and thus diminishing the distance by
any pres
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 HON 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
of revenue thus derived will be immense.
There are no engineering difficulties conneeted with the forming of

the line.
The deeds will provide that no call shall be made en the share-
holders byon t depost now paid until the .A. of Parliament is
obtained,e andd powhe er willi be taken in the Act to c
alow 4/. per cent

interest on all calls.

SEcitETAM
Thomas Coxhead, Esq.
This 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 Baleen 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 Iforncastle.
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
Horacastle about 14 miles--together 56 miles.
The advantages of the line will be self-evident to those acquainted
with the locality ; amongst other benefits, it may be observed, that
this line will form a direct and speedy communication between the
port of Great Grimsby and the midland and western counties, as well
as the metropolis ; and the port of Great Grimsby (which may now be
looked upon as the future Liverpool of the Humber) is admitted by
to
Derby,and
maritime and practical men to be the best situated northern port of
England for the whole of the markets of the continental Europe.
A glance at the map of Europe will show its superior local advantages.

communication between the midland and western counties and the

port of Great Grimsby for ex- ortation and importation to and fl'om

access that ancient and now much-frequented and improving sea-
bathing place Clcethorpes, 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 and land
have been depreciated in value, but now important advantages
will present themselves to both the agricultural and mercantile in-
terest.
The gradients of the line are exceedingly favourable, and the
expense of construction will be unusually low; the promoters have
therefore every reason to anticipate a most satisfactory return for
the capital to be invested. .
