This lire of railway will commence at or near to the Trent Valley
station at Athersione, and pass by Snarestone, Measham, Ashby-de-
la-Zouch, and Burton-upon-Trent, to a junction with the Churnet
Valley portion of the North Staffordshire Railway, near Tutbury,
with a branch on or near to the line of the Ashby de la Zouch Canal,
by Market Bosworth and Hinckley to the Leicester and Birmingham
Railway.
This line will form the shortest and most direct route from Man-
chester to London. It will also bring the valuable coal fields of
Moira and Ashby Woulds into direct and immediate communication
with the southern and western markets, by means of the Trent
Valley, Midland, and Churnet Valley districts of the North Stafford-
shire Railways. It will also give to the important town of Burton-
upon-Trent, and the populous country to the north and west, con-
venient access to this district.

Another principal feature of the line is, to supply railway com-
munications to the established mineral baths at Moira and Ashby
de la Zouch, and to the inhabitants of the latter town and neigh-
bourhood.

It will also afford an outlet to the extensive trade and fabrics of
the Leicestershire and Derbyshire Potteries. It will also, by a short
branch, have access to the Leicester and Swannington Railway and
coal field.

Another local advan' age will be the supply of lime to extensive
agricultural districts by this line from the quarries of Ticknall, Cloud
Hill, and Bredon.

With these various sources of traffic, the absence of competing
lines, and the unusual facilities in the character of the country for
the construction of a railway—no considerable work being required,
and the gradients being peculiarly favourable for the working of the
line, and the opening of the shortest route between Maneheqer end
Lendon—there is a certain prospect of a more than envie return for
the capital.

A plan and prospectus will be issued in the course of a few days,
`and in the meantime applications for Shares, with proper references,
may be made to 8. S. Baxter, Esq., solicitor, litherstene.

GREAT SOUTHERN and WESTERN and WATERFORD and
LIMERICK JUNCTION RAILWAY.
The promoters of this Undertaking having obtained the support
and co-operation of the Great Southern and Western Railway Com-
pany, propose to construct a line of railway from Clonmel to Thurles,
via Cashel and llolycross, a distance of twenty-nine statute miles,
to connect the Great Southern and Western with the Waterford and
Limerick Railway, and thus establish for Clonmel a direct communi-
cation with the metropolis by a
posed. route the shortest of any yet pro-
This project now appears before the publie with this strong recom-
mendation, " That the Great Southern and Western Railway Com-
pany, being already empowered by their Act to make that part of
the line lying between Thurles and Cashel, have consented to use the
powers vested in them, for the benefit of this Company?'
This railroad, passing through one of the most fertile and populous
parts of Ireland, will afford accommodation to a district containing
more than 100,000 inhabitants, and abounding in agricultural pro-
duce; for which Clonmel, the first inland town in Ireland, with its
extensive mills, breweries, bacon yards, and distillery, offers a cer-
tain market.
This line will also secure to the northern parts of Tipperary, and
the adjoining counties, the most expeditious conveyance to the port
of Waterford.
The extensive collieries of Slievardagh, worked by the Mining
Company of Ireland, lie contiguous, and must prove a great source
of revenue to this Company. Our engineer has been instructed to
examine and report on the best mode of connecting them with the
main line.
Calculating from the traffic tables proved before the Committees of
the House of Commons, in the cases of the Great Southern and
Western and Waterford and Limerick Railway Companies, for the
adjoining districts, the Committee look with confidence for an ample
return for the capital invested.

A preliminary survey of the line has been made; no engineering
difficulties present themselves ; no tunnelling nor deep cutting will
be required ; no demesn, s will be interfered with, and it is calculated
that 10,0001. per mile will be more than sufficient to complete the
undertaking.
This is not a competing line, and has obtained the sanction and sup-
port of nearly all the landowners through whose property it is in-
tended to pass.
Powers will be taken in the Bill to lease this railway to, or con-
tract with any other Company, so as to ensure the greatest economy
in working the line.
