There are also extensive barytes and paint-works at Ashbourne,
Cromford, and other places on the line. The scenery of Derbyshire
is the resort of vast numbers of tourists; and particular care will be
taken, in passing of the line near Dovedale, not to interfere with or
change its beautiful and romantic character. The convenience,
therefOre, which this line will afford must necessarily cause a great
influx of passengers, both on business and pleasure.
Ironstone Is not so abundant in the South as in North Staffordshire,
and vast quantities are sent by the tardy, circuitous. and expensive
canal company, which this and other lines of railway meeting* at
Uttoxeler will remedy.

The gypsum formation runs from Staffordshire to the Humber, and
the demand for this article for building, agricultural, and manufac-
turing purposes along this line will be great.
The. timber from the neighbourhood of the Needwood Forest,
Banks, fagots Woods, and Kingston Woods, upwards of 4,000
acres, chiefly finds its way to the Manchester market by a
like objectionable route of tardy and circuitous canal convey-
ance ; whereas this line would open a direct, easy, and cheap
communication to new markets. The line has been viewed prior to
a detailed survey, and there art not snore than ordinary engineering
difficulties. In consequence of the late Parliamentary decisions, it is
intended to snake this line on the broad gauge principle, but the pro-
moters do not pledge themselves absolutely to do so.
At the urgent suggestion of some of the most influentiat
misabi-
tants cf Ashbourne, the Committee have ordered a survey of a Jesse-
thou to connect that town with Derby, and with the Derby and
Gainsborough and Midland Railways
