This Railway is projected to continue the line of communication
from the terminus of the proposed Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and
Midlands Junetion Railway at Amber-gate to Nottingham ; which by a
junction at Nottingham with one of the proposed Eastern lines will
complete the nearest and most direct route from Nottingham and the
Eastern Counties to Manchester, Liverpool, and Holyhead, and by a
junction with the Midlands Railway, in the parish of dawley, by the
Erowash Valley, the nearest route ftom Lancashire and Yorkshire to
the South.
The town and environs of Nottingham contain a population of up-
words of 100,0a0 persons, extensively employed in the cotton, silk
and lace manufacture, and this line, by its connexion with the pro-
posed Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midlands Junction Railway,
will reduce the distance upwards of seventy miles from that important
district -to Manchester and Liverpool, as compared with existing
routes; and the same advantage will also be derived by the towns of
Leicester and Loughborough.
Independently of the great traffic which, as part of the main trunk
line from the agricultural districts of Nottinghamshire, Lincoltushire,
Norfolk, and Suffolk, to the manufacturing districts of Lancashire
and Cheshire, it will pass through a very populous, manufacturing,
and rioh mineral district, the local traffic from which will alone re-
turn a fair remuneration for the capital invested.
It will also pass through the extensive Nottinghamshire and Derby-
shire coal-field ; and by its junction with the Midlands Railway, at
Amber-gate, and its emtiguity to the limestone and gritstone quarries
of Derbyshire, afford an unlimited quantity of coal, lime, and building
stone to a large district at present only partially and expensively sup-
plied with those important products.
In addition to the income to be thus derived from the 'octal,
mineral, and passenger traffic, a large revenue will accrue from
the line, considerably cheapening the transit of cattle, cern, and other
produee of the Eastern Agricultural Counties, and also of cotton, silk,
and other raw materials, now brought by a circuitous, dilatory, and
expensive routs, front Liverpool and Blanchester, to be used in the
staple trades of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, and Leicestershire,
and the transmission of valuable manufactured goods to Liverpool for
exportation.
The railway will provide an easy and cheap access from Notting-
ham and the eastern part of England to Matlock, Buxton, Bakewell,
Chatsworth, and Haddon, and the romantic scenery of the Peak, and
by opening objects so rich in their attraction, will beyond doubt com-
mand a large proportion of that pleasure travelling public by which
existing lines have so much benefited.
The Proprietors of the canals in the district through which the line
will traverse, it is confidently believed, will amalgamate their inte-
rests upon such equitable terms as will prove advantageous to the
Shareholders in this Company.
A preliminary survey of the oonntry has been made, and it has
been ascertained that the gradients are remarkably good, and the
cost of construction not expensive.
Prospectuses, with forms of application, may be obtained from

NOTTINGHAM, VALLEY of BELVOIR,
and GRANTHAM RAILWAY.
A Company is in course of formation by the local and canal interest
for the purpose of carrying forward the proposed Manchester and
Nottingham, Erewash Valley, and Amber Gate Railway to Grantham
vitt Bingham.
This Railway will traverse a large and populous agricultural dis-
trict, connecting it with the great coal and mineral field of Derbyshire
and Nottinghamshire, and will offer the shortest practicable route
from the Eastern Counties to Manchester, Liverpool, and Holyhead.
Proposals will be made for uniting this Line with that already pro-
jected, called the Nottingham, Erewash Valley, Amber Gate, and
Manchester Railway, and of the Canal interests alomg the route of
the projected Railway.
There is every reason to believe that the traffic will be abundant
and remunerative, whilst its construction will be below the average
cost.
A preliminary survey of the Line has been made, and a Prospectus
will shortly be issued.
Communications on the subject may be addressed to Messrs. Ostler
and Sons, Solicitors, Grantham ; and Messrs. Foley, Smith, and
Percy, Solicitors, Nottingham.
