neighbourhood—there are large iron and steel works, and other
ntstittffictories, requiring qualities of coal and ironstone, from which
at present they are almost excluded, on account of the heavy
carriage.
Rotherham is the great cattle market of Yorkshire, and likewise
an important corn market, and one of the objects sought to be
attained by the promoters of this undertaking is the shortest route
from the manufacturing to the agricultural districts —and from the
agricultural to the great markets of Yorkshire,

districts westwarl. It will accommodate 4
the
localities through which it passes, ani possesses the peculiar feature
of following, as near as possible, the old route In which the stream of
traffic, and especially passengers, has hithorto been accustomed to
flow.
The district between Rotherham and Gainshorou7,ll is destitute of
coal, and there is no canal or railway from which it can be supplied,
excepting by a very circuitous route—in fact, the supply between
Rotherham and ltawtry is entirely carted along the turnpike-road.
The celebrated grindstones at Wieltersley, with an immense quantity
of the finest freestone, from the far-famed Roche Abbey Qnarrio.,
!right also be sect--the former to Sheffield, Manalleater, and Mr.
niingham —and the latter to every part of the kingdom, were an easier
and cheaper mode of transit established.
It is needless to remark' that any line of railway commanding
the advantages referred to, and connect'ng Lancashire and West
Yorkshire, with the Trent and the Humber, intut prove a very
ampl2 investruout for capital; Indeed, the returns of the existing
tranie are highly satisfaetorY,
Surveys have been taken, and the landowners g,nerally are
favourable to the project. The length of the line is about thirty-five
and a half miles.
