The national object of this undertaking is to create a direct and
united communication between the eastern and western parts of the
kingdom.
On reference to a railway map of England, it will at owe be seen
that Stafford and Crewe, on the Grand Junction aid Derby, and
Belper, on the Midland Railway, are the centres to which a great
number of lines of railway, either already constructed or projected,
converge ; and between these four points no railway exists.
The West Midland Railway proposes to unite these points in the
following way :—By commencing one of its arms at Crewe station,
on the Grand Junction Railway, which will run through or near
Newcastle-under-Lyne, Bursham, Stoke-apon-Trent, Lane End, and
Cheadle, to Uttoxeter, where its other arm from Stafford will meet it
and proceed thence, by Ashbourne to a point near the Belper station
on the Midland Railway, whore it will take advantage of ilia pro-
posed Derby and Gainsborough, Nottingham and Mansfield, and
Boston, Newark, and Sheffield Railways ; thus opening a. direct oom-
munication between Holyhead and other:parts of North Wales,
Cheshire, Staffordshire, and Shropshire ,on the one hand, and Sheffield,
Retford, Mansfield, Nottingham, Newark, Norwich, and the ports of
Gainsborough, Grimsby, Boston, Spalding, Lynn and Yarmouth, on
the other.

This line will accommodate a very considerable portion of tho traffic
proceeding, from the west coast of Scotland, Cumberland, and Lanea-
shire, into Lincolnshire and the south-eastern parts of the kingdom,
and by that portion of the line which Is proposed to run between
Yelper and Stafford, and the whole of the traffic flrom the east coast
of Scotland, Northumberland, Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire,
and other populous northern counties passing to the west and south-
west, together with the opulent mineral districts of South Wales, will
be effectually served.

Passing a: this line will do, through a densely-populated and ex-
elusive manufacturing district, it must be viewed, even in its local
character, as one of vast importance. The mere enumeration of the
towns affected by it would suffice to show that the traffic over it
will be immense ; but, in addition to this, whea credit is taken fbr the
thorough traffic passing diagonally over the line from south-east to
north-west, and from north-east to south-west, as well as for the
corn and other aericultural produce from the eastern counties to the
manufacturing districts ; • and a return carriage of manufactured
goods, slates from North Wales, salt from Cheshire, earthenware
from StafforOshire, and iron from Shropshire, for the consumption of
the midland counties as well as for export from the eastern ports
of Hull, Grimsby, Boston, Spalding, dm., some adequate idea may
be formed of the advantages which the comple ion of this
comprehensive scheme will naturally develop. All these objects
have been deeply and seriously considered, and deemed of such para-
mount importance to local interests, that the fullest and most hi-
fluential support and co-operation have been obtained to effectually
carry out and insure the various objects of this undertaking.
Surveys of the district have been made with much care, and the
result is highly favourable in an engineering point of view.
The Committee in the allotment of shares will give a preference to
parties locally interested, and in all cases satisfactory reference will
be required to some person of known respectability.
beer will be taken in the act to allow interest, at flip rate of 4/.
per cent. per annum, on the deposits, as well as on all future calls,
from the date of each payment, till the opening of the whole line, or
until a dividend be declared ; and the liability of subscribers will be
limited by the Act of Parliament to the amount of their respective
shares.

The shares and all payments made thereon will be forfeited with-
out notice, should the holders thereof not sign the Subscribers' Agree-
ment and Parliamentary Contract as soon as required.

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 Derlay, 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 Cheater-
field branch of the North Midland Railway is made.
The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, in eonnexion with
the Oxford and Rugby, and Oxford, Southampton, aid Gosport Rail-
way, forms a direct Manchester and Southampton line.
THE GREAT ADVANTAGES
Of the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, ever the other pro-
jects into Manchester, among oth.rs, are—

First. That there are only seventy-fire 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

Third,it Interferes with no existing railway property or
vesteiclin Thatteist;.

Fourth. That it passes through a District rich in manufacture,
agriculture, and minerals, but which—more especially as regard. its
agricultural produce, and a convenient system of intercommunica-
tion for the conveyance cf 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 routs, instead of
avoiding them.

Sixth. That the whole line of railway from Rugby to Manchester
will be completed and in working order within teat months trom 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 twenty
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.

The object of this line is to make a short and direct communication
between the populous manufacturing and iron and coal districts of
Bradford, Cleckheaton, Ileckmondwike, Batley, Dewsbury, Barns-
ley, and Sheffield, with the wool and agricultural districts of Lei-
cestershire, Derbyshire, Doncaster, Gainsborough, Lincoln,
the port of Boston.
The line will form a junction with the West Torkshire, the Leeds
and Dewsbury, and the Manchester and Leeds Railways, at or
near Dewsbury; and thence proceed by
it will join the North Midland Rail Darton to Barnsley, and
Wombwell, to or near to Wath-upon-D
way, ande ne also meetnthe Prowhposed
line to Doncaster, Bawtry, Gainsborough, and Lincoln ; and form a
port of Boston ere
communication by the existing lines with the &c., and
and the
south ; and by the projected Hull and Barnsley Junction Railway ;
it will also form a direct line to Hull, and by the Leeds and Thirsk
Railway, a direct line to the nortk.
The line will also be continued from Barnsley by Tankersley and
Chapeltown to Sheffield.
A branch will run to the various Ironworks and Colliery Rail-
ways, near Wentworth ; and another branch will run to the Silk-
stone Colliery Railways.
A direct line of communication will thus be formed between the
important manufacturing places of Bradford, Bierley, Cleckheaton,
Gomersall, Heckmondwike, Liversedg,e, Batley Dewsbury, Ossett,
Thornhill, Darton, Barnsley, Ardsley, and Wombwell, to Wath-
upon-Dearne, Doncaster, Lincolnshire, the port of Boston, and the
south, and also to Sheffield; affording the best possible accommoda-
tion to the rich iron and coal districts of Silkatone, Worsborough,
Tankersley, Chapeltown, and SheffieLl ; whilst the wools and raw
materials aced iu the manufactures at Bradford, Pudsey, Earlsheaton,
Cleekheaton, Batley, Heckmondwike, Dewsbury, and Barnsley, as
well as corn and cattle, will be received by the shortest and most di-
rect line of transit from Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire,
and the southern parts which supply these commodities, in exchange
for the manufactures, coals, and minerals of those districts.
It must be evident to every one, on looking at the map, that this
line is imperatively called for, as up to this period the only rail-
way communication for the supply of wool and other goods, and the
conveyance of passengers to Dewsbury, Reckmondwike, Batley,
Cleckheaton, Bradford, and the intermediate places (each containing
a numerous manufacturing population), has been the North Midland
line by Normanton—a very circuitous route, as appears by the fol-
lowing statement of distances of those places :

The same observations, as to saving of distance,
apply to London
and all intermediate places ; and it is important to observe that either
by the present North Midland line, or by the projected London and

This line will diverge il•ota the line of the Great Eastern and
Western Railway, near Worcester, and proceeding by Bran_
yard, will end at Leominster, at which point it will unite with the
proposed lines connecting Hereford and Shrewsbury with North
Wales.

The communication by railway between these important towns
and the continuous hop and cider districts has been entirely left
unprovided for by existing arrangements, and this line is brought
forward under the auspices of the Great Eastern and Western
Railway Company, on the strong representations and request of a
large and most influential body of the landed gentry of the neigh-
bourhood.
The object proposed is to make a direct communication between
Leominster, Bromyard, and Worcester, which latter town has always
been the natural market for the produce of these districts, and to af-
ford the inhabitants the most direct communication with London, as
compared with other lines, by upwards of3o miles.
No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the act is ob-
tained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at 41. per cent.
on all calls from the time of their respective payments, as well as t•
limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscrip-
tions.

This Cempany is formed for making a railway from Liverpool to
Derby, and will, in conjunction with the Manchester and Rugby
Direct, and London and Birmingham Railways, form the nearest
route from Liverpool to London. It will commence at Liverpool, and
proceed along the Liverpool and Manchester Railway to within a
short distance of the Whiston Inclined Plane, and thence branch off,
in a south-easterly direction, through Warrington, Knutaford, and
Congleton to Leek (there joining the Manchester and Rugby Rail-
way), and from thence through Ashbourne to Derby. The whole
length of the proposed line will be about sixty-six miles. It will be
seen by reference to the map that this important line of railway will
form the shortest route from`Liverpool to London, and effect a direct
chain of communication between Liverpool and Derby, and will
thence, by means of the Midlands and other railways. open an unin-
terrupted route to the more eastern counties, and afford a complete
midland communication between the eastern and western parts of
the kingdom and the important intermediate manufacturing districts.
The most important feature in this railway is that it forms the
shortest road from Liverpool to London. The distance by it, with the
Manchester and Rugby, and London and Birmingham, will be only
ltsi miles, whereas by the present route it is 210 miles, and by the
Trent Valley Railway 200% miles ; effecting a saving of 22 miles in
one instance, and 12% miles in the other.
And as regards Liverpool and Derby, the whole distance between
Liverpool and Derby will be reduced by this line to about 74 miles,
thus decreasing the distance by any present existing railway, at least
46 miles; an advantage which carries in itself the conviction of the
necessity there Is tor tne proposed railway, in order to eonnect more
immediately two such important towns, especially when these towns
are but the foci, as it were, for other railways from still more distant
localities, as before adverted to. _ _

The distance also from Manchester to Leek (wlsere the proposed
railway will unite with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway)
will be about 30 miles, and from Leek to Derby about 26% miles,
making the whole distance from Manchester to Derby only 66%
I miles ; and thus diminishing the distance by any present communi-
cation between those important towns by about 28 miles, an object
most desirable to be attained, and of itself quite sufficient to recom-
i 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 Jame-
Von with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) is 473. miles:
from Leek to Rugby, according to the line as proposed by the Man-
chester and Rugby Direct Railway, 58 miles, and from Rugby to
London 83 miles; thus making the whole distance from Liverpool to
London 188% miles, instead of 210, by the present route.
l
With regard to the traffic and other details connected the great
rtelar
working of the line, it seems only necessary to revert to tt
importance of the towns proposed to be brought Into
' co the minds of ,
with each other, in order to convince tclomtutiniieniscoautrlocne
of revenue thus derived will be immense.
