This line of railway, which 14 Ittotit illOYAvo Niles I§ Icngth, is
intended to commeuce at Vttoateter Oho terminus of the proposed
Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Wortle§tarftlAtro Junction Railway) and
to proceed to Sitellield and Huddersfield. It will form a direct com-
munication between two of the most import tnt manufacturing ato
mining districts in England, viz., South Statlordsthim Ilq4dgrafif.l)
and Sheffield, and Itotheriwil tit T01A41140 Situt4 'Eitafrardshlro
portion including Dudley, Tiptou,Walsall, Bliston, Wvdnesbury, and
Wolverhamptritt• _ .

This line will also open a direct railway communication between
Leeds, Huddersfield, and the West Riding of Yorkshire and Kidder-,
'finger, Worcestershire, Cheltenhalth QicittOestar, liridtgl, Taunton,
and Exeter, and witli Ludlow, I•eotoinster, Herefqpi, Breqon, Car,

guard, AberYstWith, and with Port Dynlillaen, the future outport for
Ireland. And also the most direct communication botweea Leeds
and Southampton.

TO line will pass nearly along the Uttoxeter and Calm; Canal to q
point near Prestwood, In case the canal tie 1111re.h4Sed by tho pro,
motors of this undertaking, It Will proof/Ca tlirOligh Ellaston and
Mayfield to Ashbourne. thence near Dovedale, Buxton, and Chapel-
-1 on-le-Frith, Woodhead and Holinfirth to Huddersfield, where It will
join the Linddersfieht and Leeds Railway, and so to Thirsk. It will
oven new mines, in addition to those already in work, of load, pool,
iron ore, barytes, and earbOnMrolls and Magnesion lintesteate on the
route, 1410,otion to ffirining ft diPeot, speedy. and cheap communica-
tion between the iniportnnt towns above mentioned.
Arrangements have been made with other companies to run into
this line from Sheffield. This company reserves the right to raise
adlitional capital to extend the line to Leeds,
Many of the AboYe•blebtiolled Mineral pro:bunions Aro essential to
the mining distriets of South Stenlxlsllirs and Sheffield, The North
!Staffordshire and Derbyshire Limestone is much superior to that of
South Staffordshire in the fluxion of iron (15 cwt. of the former being
equal to a ton of the Latter), and producing a better quality of ma-
terial. At present, the mode of transit is very circuitous and expen-
sive, the line from the Caldon Mines having to go by canal rAllll4
by Etruria, Leek, and the Potteries, to thePlidleY 4114 aurtoundiu,g
41111400V1 when by this 1,4111V11Y, it would be taken in a straight line
to them ; and the Ashbourne, Cromford, Worksworth, and Bakewell
country would have an entirely new trade opened to them. The iron-
stone in the neighbourhood of Sheffield is also becoming very score°,
and great quantities are Introduced from Seotland; the same scarcity
exists in South Staffordshire ; and the route of this line would fur-
nish a cheap and good Simply, at present not worked, and withont a
market, both north and South, lid addition to these iffeat ralvan-
tape, a good local market wortld he opened along the agricultural
4114 other parts of the district at present very badly supplied with
lime and coal, and that of an inferior quality, and by expensive car-
riage. It is, therefore, next to impossible to calculate the tromenso
