ii;us decreasing the distance by any present existing railway, t miles,
0 Miles , nn advantne which carries in itself the a least
necessitY there is for the proposed railway, 18 order to eonnectomt,,hee
immediately two such Important towns, especially when these towns
are but the foci, as it were, for otlier railways from still more distant
localities, SS before adverted to,
The distance also tram Manchester to Leek (where the proposed
railway- will unite with the Manchester and Rugby-Direct Railway)
will be about Y) miles, and from Leek to Derby about 2614 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 he 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 4714 miles;
from Leek to Rugby, according to the line as proposed by the Bfan
cheater and Rugby Direct Railway, 58 miles, and from Rugby to
London 83 miles; thus making the whole distance frees 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 seams 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 engineeringdifliculties connected with the forming of
t);line.
he 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.

em Counties, and by the Goole and Doncaster line, an uninterrupted
communication with Goole and the shipping ports of the Humber.
It will also form a means of communication with the severalpro-
jected lines, to the rising port of Great Grimsby.
It is a remarkable feature in this line, that there is no competing
scheme, nor does it at all interfere with any ornamental or residen-
tial property.
It is not considered essential to enter into the details of traffic ; the
value of the lines in the district, in that respect, is a sufficient test of
its extent, in addition to which, the railway will become the recipient
of much of the northern traffic, arising from the numerous branches
with which it :is connected, and must also become the Grand Trunk
Line to London from the Western part of Yorkshire.

By the Subscribers' Agreement, authority will be given to the Di-
rectors to enter into such arrangements with existing Companies
as may appear to them expedient.
A preference will be given in the allotment to the shareholders in
the adjacent lines, which fact, with particulars, must be stated in
their applications.

cretary; solicitors; Messrs. Thompson and Debenham, Salters'-hall,

This undertaking is projected by influential local interests teen pply
course with London. The surveys have been made by Sir John Mac-
neill and James Thompson, Esq., and the country is found to be fa •
be-
tween York, Leeds, and the intermediate towns iu the most direct
your-able to the construction of a railway ; and there is, perhaps, no
line of such, importance which could be constructed at comparatively
so small an expense as the sum named in the estimate.
The length of the line will be but about thirty-nine miles ; and by
means of this short link, in connexion with existing projects from
Nottingham, a saving will be effected between Leeds and the Metro-
polls exceeding twenty-five miles.
It will commence at the projected terminus of the Wakefield, Pon-
tefract, and Goole Railway, at Pontefract, and from thence proceed
through Doncaster, Tickhill, and Worksop, to the terminus of the
thereby completing, by means of the York and North Midland Nottingham, Mansfield, and Midland Counties Railway, at Mansfield ;
Rail-
way, the shortest route from York to Nottingham and London. It
will also, by the proposed extension line of the Wakefield, Pontefract
and Goole, from the York and North Midland, pear Methley, form
the nearest lisle between Leeds, Nottingham, the Midland and South-

A ProspcclD, a ith the names of a most influential Committee, and

This railway will commence at the station of the Monmouth and
Hereford and Worcester and South Wales Junction at Ross, pro-
ceeding through a rich agricultural district, now devoid of railway
accommodation, to Abergavenny, and from thence by Llanelly,
Nant-y-Glo, Tredegar, Ebbw Vale, Rumney, and Dowlais to Merthyr
Tydvil, at which place it will join the Taff Yale Railway. The dis-
tance will not exceed 40 miles.
On reference to the map it will be seen that this line, in conjunc-
tion with the proposed Worcester and South Wales Junction, via
Ledbury, Malvern, and Ross, will perfect a continuous and direct
communication from Merthyr Tydvil to London, Gloucester, Bir-
mingham, South Staffordshire, and the north.
The population of Merthyr, and the surrounding mineral districts
exceeds 120,000, and this line will place it in direct connexion with
the agricultural counties of Monmouth, Hereford, and Worcester.
The line will be laid down so as to render the greatest accommo-
dation to the principal ironworks in the district through which it
will pass, and a saving of ten miles over any other line will be
effected between Merthyr and Worcester, and other places north
and east of that city.
Arrangements are in progress with the Worcester and South Wales
Junction Railway Company, for the mutual advantage of both
Companies.
Applicants for shares who are personally known to members of
the Provisional Committee, are requested to refer to one of such
Committee ; all other applicants will be required to give a reference
to some banker, or other person of known respectability, in London,
or the town from which the application is made.

upon making application in the usual form, and within a time to be
hereafter specified ; subject, however, in the cases of holders to whom
the shares iv-ere-not originally alletted, to the approbation of the Pro-
visional Committee, and all such persons must therefore give a refe-
rence according to the form below.

percent: per annum on the amount of subscription paid up, and no
Subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his de-
posit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond his sub-
