The first line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the
Loughborough station on the Midland Counties line, and pro-
ceed through the Yale of Sheepshead, to Pegs Green Colliery,
near to the terminus of the Leicester and Swannington Rail-
was, and from thence through the coal-fields of Swannington
and Cole-Orton to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. It will thence proceed across
the Moira Coal-field and through the rich agricultural districts of
Seal, Clifton Campville, and Edingale, to the Birmingham and Derby
Railway, which it will cross near to Elford Park Farm, and thence
traverse the Valley of the Tame until it reaches Alrewas, where it
will form a junction with the branch of the Trent Valley line now in
progress of making. At this point it also meets the proposed South
Staffordshire line, by which means it reaches Lichfield, and by means
of one of the proposed lines it will afford communication with Bir-
mingham.
From Loughborough the line will be further continued to A sfordby
on the Syston and Peterborough Railway, now in progress, and by
means of this latter line, a direct intercourse will be opened with
Melton Mowbray and the various towns through which that route
passes to Peterborough.
By means of its junction with the Trent Valley line at Alrewas, the
Grand Trunk reaches Colwich, and there meets the proposed North
Staffordshire line, which proceeds through the heart of the Potteries
to Newcastle-under-Lyre, Leek, and Macclesfield. By means also
of the same Trent Valley line at Alrewas the Grand Trunk pro-
ceeds through Rugeley to Stafford, thus completing its route, and
forming a connecting line between the Midland and Grand Juaction
Railways. This branch of the line was formerly surveyed by Mr.
Rastrick, and approved of by him as a canal communication, so that
no engineering difficulties exist.

The second line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the
Derby station, and taking the course of the Derby Canal proceed to
Chellaston, where there are extensive plaster-works, and thence
by Swarkestone to the river Trent, which it will cross near to
the ferry at Weston Cliffe, and so proceed to Kings Newton
and Melbourne. From the latter place it will pass by the
village of Wilson to Breedon-on-the-Hill, where there are extensive
lime-works, and thence proceed by Staunton Harold, communicat-
ing by a branch line with the lead, lime, and coal works there ;

thence by the Lount Colliery to Worthington Rough, where it will
follow the line of the Cole-Orton and Swanning-ton Railway until its
junction with the first line of the Grand Trunk at or noar the Pegs
Green Colliery, and so proceed from thence to Ashby-de-la-Zouch.
At Ashby-de-la-Zouch the Grand Trunk forms a junction with the
proposed Nottingham and Birmingham, and with the proposed Great
Manchester, Rugby, and Southampton Railways. Its importance as
a line for passengers is too obvious for comment, forming as it does a
complete junction between those two great thoroughfares, the Mid-
land and Grand Junction Railways, and by its branch from Derby to
Ashby-de-la-Zouch another complete junction between the Great
Northcutt and Southern lines now in progress, thus opening a direct
line of communication to all parts of the kingdom.
As a line for traffic, the Grand Trunk will form the most direct

transit to the Leicestershire, Staffordshire, and Shropshire iron and
coal fields, to the Burton breweries, to North and South Wales, and
Ireland to Scotland, and all parts of the north, and to the eastern,
southern, and western parts of the empire. It will also be the
nearest and most direct communication from the east to the north-
western manufacturing districts, as well as become the great route
from all parts of the kingdom to the midland counties of England.
The mineral resources are of the very highest order. The Moira
coal-field is inexhaustible, whilst the coal-beds at Staunton Harold
alone comprise the finest quality of Kennel to a depth of seven feet,
with a super stratum of main coal to a depth of six feet. The sub-
stratum is yet to be worked. There are beds of Kennel and main
coal at Cole Orton of equal quality, though net of equal depth with
those of Staunton Harold, whilst the main coal at Swannington is un-
rivalled, being, in fact, the bowl of the Leicestershire and Derbyshire
coal strata. It is needless to describe the beneficial results which
must arise from this opening of the midland coal district to the Lon-
don and southern markets.

At Staunton Harold and Calko exist rich veins of lead ore, now in
full course of working.

The properties of the Breedon, Staunton Harold, and Ticknall lime
are so well knowu to agriculturists and others, that an extension of
traffic for so valuable a commodity into mare remote districts must
be of the utmost importance to the practical farmer.
In approaching the Trent, on leaving the lime district, the Grand
Trunk will fall in with most valuable quarries of millstone grit, ser-
viceable for paving and building purposes, and for which a ready
market would be found along the line. The country also abounds
in gypsum, of which immense quantities are used in Birming-
ham and elsewhere: these markets will thus become opened for the
quarries at Chellaston.

A new and extensive outlet will also be opened for the earthenware
of Wooden Box and Grlesley Potteries.
Until the Act of Parliament be obtained, the affairs will be under
the control of the Committee of Management, to whom power is
given to allot the shares and apply the funds of the Company in
payment of all proper expenses in the formation of the Company and
otherwise.

Power will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime the
Committee of Management take power, to alter or extend the lines,
to make branch lines, to abandon any part of the line, to raise addi-
tional capital, and to enter into arrangements with any other Com-
pany or Companies.

Application for shares must be made in the usual form to the soli-
citors to the Company, Messrs. Watts, Galsworthy, and Galsworthy,
19, Ely-place, Holborn, London ; to the Secretary, at the Offices of
the Company, 1, Adelaide-place, London-bridge ; and to the fol-

This line will oommence at the Long Eaton station of the Midlead
Counties Railway, and *lll proceed in a direct line to or near Castle
Donington, Ashby-de-la-Touch, Meacham, and Market Boawerta tv
Nuneaton; joining, at Market Bosworth, the Birmingham brunch,
projected by the Tamworth and Leicester Company, and at Nuneaton.
the projected Coventry, Nuneaton, Birmingham, and Leicester
Railway, at the point where that line crosses the Treat Valley lice.
Thus a direct communication will be formed between the important
towns of Nottingham, Newark. and Lincoln on the one Ate, and
Birmingham, Coventry, and Warwick on the other side, at tke pane
time supplying a rich mineral and agricultural district with railway
advantages.

A reference to the map will show that this railway will also cola.
mand other collateral advantages.

There le no doubt that the proposed railway eceninualeation be-
tween Cheltenham and Warwick will be effected, in which case the
proposed line will fie up the railway chasm at present existing be-
tween the comities of Gloucester and Worcester, and Nett/nem=
and Lincoln, and thus form a direct line (rent the Severn at Glouces-
ter to the Humber at Great Grimsby. An amalgamation of the Great
Grimsby and Sheffield Junction with the Grimsby Dock Company
being now determined on, a large amount of capital will be expended
in rendering Great Grimsb a port of the first importance t and°
must he obvious that the traffic to that port, from the district south-
west of Warwick, will be very great.
The distance saved by the proposed his between 146mingt";„,,,„..
Warwick, Coventry, and Nottingham will be about fourteen.
