This line of railway, which Is about sixty-five miles In length, is
intended to commence at Uttoxeter (the terminus of the proposed
Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Worcestershire Junction Railway) and
to proceed to Sheffield and Huddersfield. It will firm a direct com-
munication between two of the most import int manufacturing and
mining districts in England, viz., South Staffordshire, Huddersfield,
and Sheffield, and Rotherham in Yorkshire ; the South Staffordahire
portion including Dudley, Tipton,Walsall, Bilston, Wednesbury, and
Wolverhampton.
This line will also open a direct railway communication between
Leeds, Huddersfield, and the West Riding of Yorkshire and Kidder-
minster, Worcestershire, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, Taunton,
and Exeter, and with Ludlow, Leominster, Hereford, Brecon, Car-
diff, Neath, Swansea, Llanelly, Ceermarthen, Milford Haven, Fish-
guard, Aberyatwith, and with Port Dynnliaen, the future outport for
Ireland. And also the most direct communication betweel Leeds
and Southampton.
The line will pass nearly along the Uttoxeter and Caldon Canal to a
point near Prestwood, in case the canal be purchased by the pro-
moters of this undertaking. It will proceed through Ellaston and
Mayfield to Ashbourne, thence near Dovedalg. Buxton, and Chapel-
en-la-Frith, Woodhoad and Holinfirth to Huddersfield, where it will
join the Huddersfield and Leeds Railway, and so to TIM-3k. It will
open new mines, in addition to those already in work, of lead, coal,
iron ore, barytes, and carboniferous and magnesian limestone on the
route, in addition to forming a direct, speedy, awl cheap communica-
tion betweea the important towns above mentioned.
Arrangements have been made with other companies to rue into
this line from Sheffield. This company reserves the right to raise
additional capital to.extend the line to Leeds.
Many of the above-mentioned mineral produotions are essential to
the mining districts of South Staffordshire and Sheffield. The North
Staffordshire and Derbyshire Limestone is much superior to that of
South Staffordshire in the fluxion of iron (IS cwt. of the former being
equal to a ton of the latter), and producing a better quality of ma-
terial. At present, the mode of transit is very circuitous aud expen-
sive,-the line from the Caldon Mines having to go by canal round
by Etruria, Leek, and the Potteries, to the Dudley and surrounding
tUrnaces, when, by this railway, it would be taken iu a straight line
to them ; and the Ashbourne, Cromford, Workeworth, and Bakewell
country would have an entirely new trade opened to them. The iron-
stone in the neighbourhood of Sheffield is also becoming very scarce,
and great quantities are Introduced from Scotland; the same scarcity
exists in South Staffordshire ; and the route of this line would fur-
nish a cheap and good supply, at present not worked, and without a
market, both north and south. In addition to these great advan-
tages, a good local market would be opened along the agricultural
and other parts of the district at present very badly supplied with
lime and coal, and that of an inferior quality, and by expensive car-
riage. It is, therefore, next to impossible to calculate the immense
traffic which would pour down this line and the Derbyshire, Stafford-
shire, ard Worcestershire Junction Railway.
The calculations which have been made show a very large preSt.
There are large lead and slate quarries on the line which only want
an outlet like the one now contemplated to bring them into fall work.
The coal is of a superior quality.
There are also extensive barytes and paint-works at Ishbonrne,
Croinford, and other-places on the line. The scenery of Derbyshire
is the resort of vast numbers of tourists ; and particular ear* will ho
taken, in passing of the line near Dovedale, not to interfere with or
change its beautithi and romantic character. The convenience,
therefore, which this line will afford must necessarily cause a great
influx of passengers, both on business and pleasure.
Ironstone is not so abundant in the South as in North Staffordshire,
and vast quantities are sent by the tardy, circuitous, and expensive
canal company, which this and other lines of railway meeting at
Uttoxeier will remedy.
The gypsum formation rusts from Staffordshire to the Humber, and
the dentand for this article for building, agricultural, and manufac-
turing purposes along this line will be great. -
The timber from the neighbourhood of the Needwood Forest.
Banks, Bagots Woods, and Kingston Woods, upwards of 4,900
acres, chiefly finds its way to the Manchester market by a
liko objectionable route of tardy and circuitous urinal convey-
ance ; whereas this line would open a direct, easy, and cheap
communication to new markets: The line has been viewed prior to
a detailed survey, and there are not more than ordinary engineering
difficulties. In consequence of the late Parliamentary decisions, it is
intended to make this line on the broad gauge principle, but the pro-
moters do not pledge themselves absolutely to do so.
At the urgent suggestion of seine of the most influential inhabi-
tants of Ashbourne, the Committee have ordered a survey of a: tea
tion line to connect that town with the Derby, and with the Derby
and Gainsborough and Midland Railways

be distributed on the course of the I•na.
4th. The carriage of the celebrated lime of Purfieet for agricultura
and for building purposes, along the course of the line, and through-
out the eastern counties.
Besides the traffic of passengers aid merchandise which will be de-
rived from the local population, it is certain that cheap and expedi-
tious travelling to and from Sou hend will cstabish it as a place of
recreation and resort for the popu'ation of the metropols, scarcely
second to Gravesend, and form a source of revenue almost incalculable.
The estimated traffic, as shown in the annexed table, from the
above sources, shows a clear profit of more than ten per cent. upon
the cApltal, and the payment of interest at four per cent. upon the
calls between the passing of the Act and the construction of the rail-
way will form one of the clauses of the Bill.
