SOLICITORS,

Messrs. Edwards, Mason, and-Edwards, 8, Moorgate-street, and 8,

Delahay-street, Westminster.
The proposed railway is intended to commence on the Trent
Valley Railway near Stafford, and proceed thence in an easterly di-
rection, to pass through, or near to, Tixall, Haywood, Colwich, and
Abbott's Bromley, to the rapidly-increasing town of Burton-upon-
Trent, where it will run into the Birmingham and• Derby Railway,
forming the shortest and best practicable route from Staffordshire to
Derby. Leaving the Birmingham and Derby Railway at Burton-
upon-Trent, it will proceed along the valley ort?te Trent by Repton,
Swarkestone, and Shardlow, to the Midland Counties Railway at the
point where that railway forms a junction with the Derby and Not-
tingham Railway ; and by means of these and other railways
in progress, tbrrn a complete line of railway communication between
the central towns of Stafford, Derby, Nottingham, Lincoln, Leices-
ter, Peterborough, and Boston, on the east, and Shrewsbury, Ches-
ter, and Holyhead, North Wales, and Ireland, on the west. ,
This railway will, therefore, form the only connecting link re-
quired in the great chain of railway communication from east and
west through the heart of the kingdom, uniting the shores of the
German Ocean on the oast with those of the Irish Sea on the west,
and traversing in its course the rich agrteultural districts of the
eastern midland, and western counties, .and accommodating the im-
portant manufacturing, towns of Stafford, Derby, Nottingham, Lei-
cester, and Shrewsbury. But another most important advantage
that will result from the formation of this line_ will consist in the
fact of its. affording, in connexion with the proposed South Union, or
Manchester and Potteries Railway, by far, the shortest and best
route between Derby, Nottingham, Newark, Lincoln, Peterborough,
Leicester, and Loughborough, and the extensive and populous dis-
tricts of the Staffordshire Potteries, Macclesfield; Stockport, and
Manchester. By the proposed line the distance between Nottingham
and , Derby and Manchester will be at least from 15 to 20 miles lees
than by the present circuitous route by Sheffield.
The traffic on this line must necessarily be equal, if not superior,
to that of any line in the district.
The length of the line will be about 33 miles, through a country
presenting no difficulties of more than an ordinary kind for its con-
struction.
The capital proposed to be raised is 600,0001., in shares of 201.
each, upon which a deposit of 21. 2s. per share must be paid upon the
allotment. No call will be made until the Act is obtained, and no
Subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of his deposit until the
Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription ;
and the usual power will be taken to allow interest at four per cent.
from the time of payment upon each call until the opening of the
line.
The subscribers' agreement and the Parliamentary contract must
be executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip cer-
tificates, of which 14 days' notice will be given ; and the deposits
paid by any party making default in the execution of those deeds will
be forfeited.
Applications for Shares may be made to the solicitors.
