The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway is a direct line from
London to Manchester, coming from London to Rugby, along the
London and Birmingham line, and proceeding from Rugby to Hinck-
ley through Market-Bosworth and Ashby-de-la-Zouch, to Derby,
thence to Ashbourne, by Leek to Macclesfield, and along the Mac-
clesfield and Stockport, and Stockport and Manchester Railways, into
Manchester.
A branch to Buxton is in contemplation.

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.
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 from Derby to Rugby will establish the direct communi-
cation 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 31Idland Railway is made.

The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, in connexion with
the Oxford and Rugby, and Oxford, Southampton, and Gosport Rail-
way, forms a direct Manchester and Southampton line.

THE GREAT ADVANTAGES
Of the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, err the other pro-
jects into Manchester, among oth.rs, are—
First. That there are only seventy-five miles of railway to be made
in place of one hundred and eighty-nine.
-.. _ _ _

Second. That it is a more direct line from London to Manchester
than even the proposed direct lines.

Third. That it interferes with no existing railway property or
vested interests.

Fourth. That it passes through a District rich in manufactures,
agriculture, and minerals, but which—more especially as regards its
agricultural produce, and a convenient system of intercommunica-
tion for the conveyance of that agricultural produce, to supply the
large manufacturing towns in the vicinity—has been hitherto left to-
tally without railway communication.
Fifth. That it passes through the towns in its route, instead of
avoiding them.
Sixth. That the whole line of railway from Rugby to Manchester
will be completed and in working order within ten mouths from the
passing of the Act of Parliament.
Seventh: That the maps, plans, estimates, 'and other documents
required by the standing orders of Parliament will be lodged with the
parish clerks, the clerks of the peace for the counties, and the
Parliamentary offices, on the 10th of November next, being twerity
days within the time required by the regulations of Parliament.
In the allotment of shares a preference will be given, to the ex
tent of 10,000 shares, to the holders of stock in the London and Bir-
mingham Railway ; also, of 2,000 shares to the shareholders in the
Oxford, Southampton, and Gosport Railway Company; of 1,000
shares to the Oxford and Rugby Railway Company ; and 2,000
shares to the Manchester and Birmingham Railway Company.
