PROSPECTUS.

This Railway is intended to commence at or near to Derby, and
passing through the rich Mineral District of Kilburne, Denby, Codn• r
Park, and Pinxton, to proceed to Mansfield and East Retford, and
terminate at Gainsborough ; thus completing a direct trunk Line of
Railway across the kingdom from the Humber to the Severn, and
forming the nearest route that can be taken between the important
Ports of Gainsborough, Hull, Great-Grimsby and the Midland
Counties, Derby, the Potteries, Birmingham, Gloucester, Bristol, &c.
An Act of Parliament has just passed for the formation of the
Ballway from Gainsborough to Great Grimsby, with a Branch to
New Holland, opposite to Hull.
The proposed Railway from Derby to Gainsborough will proceed
in a direction not contemplated by any other Company, and will
neither compete with any existing projects, nor oppose them ; it
will traverse a country through which the want of railway com-
munication is seriously felt, and along which this project has been
most cordially received.
The traffic from local sources in the neighbourhood of Derby alone
will be immense. The conveyance of the mineral wealth of the ex-
tensive and flourishing Iron-works and Collieries between Derby and
Pinxton (a district which, for its productiveness, stands unrivalled
throughout the United Kingdom), and of Coals from the Portland
Colliery, will yield an amount of revenue which, could it be exactly
stated, would seem rather a gross exaggeration than a fact ; while
from Mansfield, celebrated for its first rate building stone, and the
superior quality of its lime, and from the agricultural districts be-
tween Mansfield and Retford, and thence to Gainsborough, the traffic
in oilcake and tillage, barley, and other agricultural produce, will be
scarcely less important—insuring to the promoters of this under-
taking a highly remunerating income.
Independently, however, of these local sources of revenue, which
alone would amply justify the formation of the line, the through traffic,
consisting of the manufactures of Birmingham, the earthenware of
Staffordshire, and the varied produce of other towns in the Midland
and Western Counties, to the ports of Gainsborough, Hull, and
Great Grimsby, for exportation, with the return of timber, deals, and
other Baltic and foreign commodities, cannot fail to be most produc-
tive, whilst at the same time the proposed railroad offers to passengers
to Hull, &c., a saving of thirty miles of distance over the present route.
The Great-Grimsby Railway Company who have obtained their
Act for making the line from Gainsborough to Great Grimsby, have
made arrangements with the Doek Company there to form (under
the sancti)n of an Act of the Legislature) but one concern, and they
intend to render Great Grimsby, by a large outlay of capital, a sea-
port of the first importance.
A general survey of the country has been already made, and no
engineering difficulties whatever present themselves. A line could
scarcely be found which would so little alter the features of the
country. It does t interfere with any ornamental groundo, or
existing navigation, and can be made at a comparatively small cost.
It gives the utmost accommodation to the collieries, ironworks, &c.,
near which it passes, and it does not cross any turnpike-road on a
level, a circumstance which is much to be desired. The gradients
on the line are exceedingly favourable, and it will pass through, and
near to, several excellent stone quarries, well adapted for bri ige
building, and the ballast throughout will be found on the line.
The greatest respect will be paid to the residence and domains of
the nobility and gentry in the neighbourhood through which the line
will run, in order to avoid their being prejudicially interfered with.
Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at the rate of 4/.
per cent. per annum, on all deposits and calls until the opening of the
line, and the liability of the shareholders will be limited to the
amount of their subscriptions.

banker's or other satisfactory reference, may be addressed to the so-

pectuses, &c., may be obtained.

• The various positions of Lover, Husband, and Parent, the in-
herent privileges of mankind, are frequently marred and prevented
through the follies and frailties of early indiscretions. To such, among
others, this Essay addresses itself; and by its perusal many questions
may be satisfactorily adjusted that admit of no appeal even to the
most confidential friend."—Stafford Gazette.
"Long experience in the treatment of a class of diseases hitherto
neglected and most imperfectly understood by the great bulk of the
medical profession, has enabled the writer to prove that there are
concealed causes of Nervous Debility in existence, where the mere
routine practitioner would never dream of finding them; traceable
to certain habits, forming the most secret, yet deadly, and fatal
springs of domestic misery, and premature mertali.7."—Wakefield
