This Railway is projected to continue the line of communication
from the terminus of the proposed Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and
Midlands Junction 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 Sawley, by the
Erewash Valley, the nearest route from Lancashire and Yorkshire to
the South.
The town and environs of Nottingham contain a population of up-
words of 100,000 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 thatimportant
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, Lincolnshire,
Norfolk, and Suffolk, to the manufacturing districts of Lancashire
and Cheshire, it will pass through a very populous, manufacturing,
and rich 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 cmtiguity 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 local,
mineral, and passenger traffic, a large revenue will accrue from
the line, considerably cheapening the transit of cattle, cern, and other
produce of the Eastern Agricultural Counties, and also of cotton, silk,
and other raw materials, now brought by a circuitous, dilatory, and
expensive route, from Liverpool and Manchester, 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 largo 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 country has been made, and it has
been ascertained that the gradients are remarkably good, and the
cost of construction not expensive.
