The first line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the
Loughborough station en the Midland Counties line, and pro-
ceed through the Vile of Sheepshead. to Pegs Green Colliery,
near to the terminus of the Leicester and Swannington Rail-
was, and from thence through the coal-fields of Swannington
and Cole-Orton to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. It will thence proceed across
the Moira Coal-field and through the rich agricultural districts of
Seal,Clifton Campville, and Edingale, to the Birmingham and Derby
Railway, which it will cross near to Elford Park Farm, and thence
traverse the Valley of the 'Paine until it reaches Alrewas, where it
will form a junction with the branch of the Trent Valley line now in
progress of making. At this point it also meets the proposed South
Staffordshhe line, by which means it reaches Lichfield, and by means
of one of the proposed lines it will afford communication with Bir-
naingham.

passes to Peterborough.
By means of its junction with the Trent Valley line at Alrewas, the
Grand Trunk reaches Colwich, and there meets the proposed North
Staffordshire line, which proceeds through the heart of the Potteries
to Newcastle-under-Lytle, Leek, and Macclesfield. By means also
of the same Trent Valley line at Alrewas the Grand Trunk pro-
ceeds through Rugeley to Stafford, thus completing its route, and
forming a connecting line between the Midland and Grand Junction
Railways. This branch of the line was formerly surveyed by Mr.
Rastrick, and approved of by him as a canal communication, so that
no engineering difficultlei exist.
The second line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the
Derby station, and taking the course of the Derby Canal proceed to
Chellaston, where there are extensive plaster-works, and thence
by Swarkestone to the river Trent, which it will cross near to
the ferry at Weston Cliffe, and so proceed to Kings Newton
and Melbourne. From the latter place it will pass by the
I village of Wilson to Breedon-on-the-Hill, where there are extensive
lime-works, and thence proceed by Staunton Harold, communicat-
ing by a branch line with the lead, lime, and coal works there ;
thence by the Lount Colliery to Worthington Rough, where it will
follow the line of the Cole-Orton and Swannington Railway milli its
junction with the first line of the Grand Trunk at or near the Pegs
Green Colliery, and so proceed from thence to Ashby-de-la-Zouch.
At Ashby-de-la-Zouch the Grand Trunk forms a junction with the
proposed Nottingham and Birmingham, and with the proposed Great
Manchester, Rugby, and Southampton Railways. Its impedance as
a line for passengers is too obvious for comment, forming as it does a
complete junction between those two great thoroughfares, the Mid-
land and Grand Junction Railways, and by its branch from Derby to
Ashby-de-la-Zouch another complete junction between the Great
Northern and Southern lines now in pr4tgress, thus opening a direct
line of communication to all parts of the kingdom.
As a line for traffic, the Grand Trunk will form the most direct
transit to the Leicestershire, Staffordshire, and Shropshire iron and
coal fields, to the Burton breweries, to North and South Wales, and
Ireland to Scotland, and all parts of the north, and to the eastern,
southern, and western parts of the empire. It will also be the
nearest and most direct communication from the east to the north-
western manufacturing districts, as well as become the great route
from all parts of the kingdom to the midland counties of England.
The mineral resources are of the very highest order. The Moira
coal-field is inexhaustible, whilst the coal-beds at Staunton Harold
alone comprise the finest quality of Kennel to a depth of seven feet,
with a super stratum of main coal to a depth of six feet. The sub-
stratum is yet to be worked. There are beds of Kennel and main
coal at Cole Orton of equal quality, though net of equal depth with
those of Staunton Harold, whilst the main coal at Swannington is un-
rivalled, being, in fact, the bowl of the Leicestershire and Derbyshire
coal strata. It is needless to describe the beneficial results which
must arise front this opening of the midland coal district to the Lon-
don and southern markets.

This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda
and Ely Vallies, with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles dis-
tance from the Port of Cardiff; and to open a new mineral district,
one of the richest and most important in South Wales, which is at
present without the means of transit for its Immense and valuable
products.
It will pass through the central portion of the great coal-field of
Olamorganshire, where iron-stone also abounds with the coal In im-
mense quantities, and laying, geologically speaking, nearly flat, and,
obtainable, for the most part, by proper levels. The coal in addition
to its being of excellent quality for iron making, as is proved at Mer-
thyr and Aberdeen, is also, like that of those districts, of the very
best description for steam purposes, being nearly smokeless, although
inflammable, indeed so pre-eminently is the superiority of this de-
scription of coal established for steam purposes over any other,
that the demand for It tar exceeds the supply, and promises, accord-
ing to the opinion of the most eminent marine engineers, to super-
sede all others for purposes of steam navigation. This source of
traffic alone will afford a handsome return for the capital Invested,
as has been demonstrated in every instance where even tram-roads or
canals have been constructed to open the mineral resources of other
less promising Tallies in Wales than the Rhondda, which is cele-
brated for the abundance, quality, and facility of obtaining its pro-
ductions. _ _

An inexhaustible supply of limestone
rp(ososenoecmessaayrybeforotan ein e ta other by
manu-
facture of iron and for agricultural purposes)
means of this Railway, much nearer and cheaper than by y
line.
This line will afford to the increasing population of the rich Tales
of Ely and Rhondda a much desired communication with the great
market town and port of Cardiff, from whence, at present, they may
said to be almost excluded.
It is Intended that the line sh al
ndl commence
down by at Blaea
n Rhondda, the
head of the Rhondda Valley, a prceed natural pass
between the hills at Ffrwd Amws, a distance of eight miles, where it
will enter the Ely Valley and proceed down (a further distance of
six miles) to Lanelay-bridge, near Lantrissent, and there join the
South Wales Railway, thus opening a communication under the most
advantageous circumstances as to distance, with all the ports in the
Bristol channel.
A preliminary survey has already bee n made by competent par-
ties, and it is found that the country admits of highly favourable
gradients, so much so that it is confidently anticipated that the
works will be executed very conslierably under the advertised ca-
pital.
The landowners along the line are favourable to this undertaking,
and the names of many influential proprietors will be found on the
Provisional Committee.
No Subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of his de-
posit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of
his subscription.
Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this
Company shall be under the control of the Managing Directors, to
whom power is given to allot the Shares, and to apply the fluids
of the Company in payment of all the expenses incurred in its forma-
tion, and in the preparation of the plans and sections to be submitted
to Parliament.
Power will be applied for in the Aet (and In the meantime Is
hereby given to the Managing Directors as above), to raise any addi-
tional capital, to extend or abandon any part of the line, to make
branch Ines, or enter into any arrangements, by amalgamation or
otherwise, with any other company or companies, and also to nomi-
nate the first Directors of the Company.

F 04141 OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.
To the Provisional Committee of the Rhondda and Fly Valles

At Staunton Harold and Calke exist rich veins of lead ore, now in
full course of working.
The properties of the Breedon, Staunton Harold, and Ticknall lime
are so well known to agriculturists and others, that an extension of
traffic for so valuable a commodity into mare remote districts must
be of the utmost importance to the practical farmer.
In approaching the Trent, on leaving the lime district, the Grand
Trunk will fall in with most valuable quarries of millstone grit, ser-
viceable for paving and building purposes, and for which a ready
market would be found along the line. The country also abounds
in gypsum, of which immense quantities are used in Birming-
ham and elsewhere : these markets will thus become opened for the
quarries at Chellaston.
A new and extensive outlet will also be opened for the earthenware
of Wooden Box and Grlesley Potteries.
Until the Aet of Parliament be obtained, the affairs will be ander
the control of the Committee of Management, to whom power is
given to allot the shares and apply the funds of the Company in
payment of all proper expenses in the formation of the Company and
otherwise.
Power will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime the
Committee of Management take power, to alter or extend the lines,
to make branch lines, to abandon any part of the line, to raise addi-
tional capital, and to enter into arrangements with any other Com-
pany or Companies.
Application for shares must be made in the form annexed/to the soli-
citors to 80/ Company, Messrs. Watts, Galsworthy, and Galsworthy,
19, Ely-place, Holborn, Loudon; to the Seoretary, at the Offices of
the Company, 3, Adelalde-place, London bridge ; and to the fol-

This line will commence at the Long Raton station of the Midland,
Counties Railway, and will proceed in a direct line to or near Castle.
Donington, Ashby-de-la-Zouch,- Measham, and Market Bosworth to
Nuneaton ; joining, at Market Bosworth, the Lirmingham branch,
projected by the Tamworth and Leicester Company, and at Nuneaton,
the projected Coventry, Nuneaton, Birmingham, and Leicester
Railway, at the point where that line crosses the Trent Malley line.
Thus a direct communication will be formed between the important
towns of Nottingham, Newark, and Liecoln on the one side, and
Birmingham, Coventry, and Warwick on the other side, at the same
time a rich mineral and agricultural district will be supplied with
railway advantages.
A reference to the map will show that this railway will also Qom-
mand other collateral advantages.
There is no doubt that the proposed railway communication be-
tween Cheltenham and Warwick will be effected, in which case the
proposed line will fill up the railway chasm at present existing be-
tween the eounties of Gloucester and Worcester, and Nottingham
and Lincoln. and thus form a direct line from the Severn at Glouces-
ter to the llumber at Great Grimsby. An amalgamation of the Great
Grimsby and Sheffield Junction with the Grimsby Dock Company
being now determined on, a large amount of capital will be expended
in rendering Great Grimsby a port of the first importance ; and it
must be obvious that the traffic to that port, from the district smith-
west of Warwick, will be very great.
The distance saved by the proposed line between Leamington,
Warwick, Coventry, and Nottingham, will be about twenty miles ;
and betw.en Birmingham and Nottingham, the saving will be about
six miles. Being the shortest route from Birmingham to Not-
tingham and Lincoln, it must secure the traffic from Birmingham to
Nottingham, Newark, Lincoln, and the port of Great Grimsby ; and
by joining with the Erewash Valley Railway at Long Eaton, it must
command the traffic from Coventry, Warwick, and the district smith
of those towns to 6heflield, Leeds, York, and the north of England
generally. It will also afford a direct communication between Not-
tingham and the district bete cen Warwick and Worcester, by means
of the projected Worcester, Warwick, and Rugby, and the Warwick
and Worcester Railways.
The entire length of the line will be about 28 miles. The Com-
pany's Engineer has completed his preliminary survey, and has
made his report, that the character of the country through which
the line is intended to pass is unusually favourable for engineering
purposes.
It passes directly through a very productive mineral district, in-
tersecting the Leicestershire coal-fields and lime-works, and wilt
afford communication north and south, to the Derbyshire Potteries.
With such an assured immediate and prospective amount of traffic,
the profits on the small capital required cannot fail to be highly re-
munerative.
Powers for all.,wance of interest at four per cent. on the paid-up
capital will be taken, and the liability of shareholders limited to the
amount of their subscriptions.
