SOLICITORS.

Messrs. Edwards, Mason, and Edwards, 8, Moorgate-street, and 8,

Delahay-street, Westminster.
The proposed railway is intended to commence on the Trent
Valley Railway near Stafford, and proceed thence in an easterly di-
rection, to pass through, or near to, Tixall; Haywood, Colwich, and
Abbott's Bromley, to the rapidly-increasing town of Burton-upon-
Trent; where it will run into the Birmingham and Derby Railway,
forming the shortest and best practicable route from Staffordshit e to
Derby. Leaving the Birmingham and Derby Railway at Burton-
upon-Trent, it will proceed along the valley of the Trent by Repton,
Swarkestone, and Shardlow, to the Midland Counties Railway at the
point where that railway forms a junction with the Derby and Not-
tingham Railway ; and thus, by means of these and other railways
in progress, form a complete line of railway communication between
the central towns of Stafford, Derby, Nottingham, Lincoln, Leices-
ter, Peterborough, and Boston, on the east, and Shrewsbury, Ches-
ter, and Holyhead, North Wales, and Ireland, on the west.
This railway will, therefore, form the only connecting link re-
quired In the great chain of railway communication from east and
west through the heart of the kingdom, uniting the shores of the
German Ocean on the east with those of the Irish Sea on the west,
and traversing in its course the rich agrtcultural districts of the
eastern midland, and western counties, and accommodating the im-
portant manufacturing towns of Stafford, Derby, Nottingham, Lei-
cester, and Shrewsbury. But another most important advantage
that will result from the formation of this line will consist in the
fact of its affording, in connexion with the proposed South Union, or
Manchester and Potteries Railway, by far the shortest and best
route between Derby, Nottingham, Newark, Lincoln, Peterborough,
Leicester, and Loughborough, and the extensive and populous dis-
tricts of the Staffordshire Potteries, Macclesfield, Stockport, and
Manchester. By the proposed line the distance between Nottingham
and Derby and Manchester will be at least from 15 to 20 miles less
than by the present circuitous route by Sheffield.
The traffic on this line must necessarily be equal, if not superior,
to that of any line in the district.
The length of the line will be about 33 miles, through a country
presenting.no difficulties of more than an ordinary kind for Its con-
struction.
The capital proposed to be raised is COO,OOO/., in shares of 201.
each, upon which a deposit of 21. 2s. per share must be paid upon the
allotment. No call will be made until the Act is obtained, and no
subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of his deposit until the
Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription ;
and the usual power will be taken to allow interest at four per cent.
from the time of payment upon each call until the opening of the
line.
The subscribers' agreement and the Parliamentary contract must
be executed when the bankers' receipts arc exchanged for scrip cer-
tificates, of which 14 days' notice will be given ; and the deposits
paid by any party making default in the execution of those deeds will
be forfeited.
' Heathens for Shares may be made to the solicitors.

The great difficulty, delay, and expense attending the transit of
passengers and goods from Kingston to Montego Bay and the inter-
mediate ports, either by sea or land, is well known to all persons
conversant with the islan 1 of Jamaica.
The average passage by steamer between Montego Bay and King-
ston, occupies forty-four hours ; and the costs, including expenses on
the route, amount to nearly 51. each passenger, while the quickest
journey by land occupies three days, and the expenses, including
horse hire, reach nearly 201. By the railway the whole line will be
traversed in eight hours, at an expense not exceeding an average of
30s. per passenger.
• The difference in the freights between 'the northern and southern
sides of the island and England is such, that independently of the
saving of time, this railway will enable proprietors on the northern
side, after payment of the costs of transit, to ship their produce at
much loss expense than at present, and will afford them the advan-
tage of shipping at all times from the very excellent harbour of King-
ston, instead of being confined, as they now are, to the exposed porta
of the east and north of the Island.
The line will commence at a spacious quay, to be constructed at
Kingston Harbour, with a depth of water sufficient for vessels of the
largest tonnage employed in the export trade of the Island ; at or
near to which point it is proposed to form a junction with the King-
ston and Spanish Town Railway, and proceed thence by or near Rock
Fort, Yaltahs, Morant Town, Port Morant, Plantain Garden, Man-
chioneal Harbour, Port Antonio, Buff Bay, Anot to Bay, Port Maria,
St. Ann's, Duncan, Martha Brae, and terminate at or near Montego
Bay. By these means a line of intercommunication will be formed
between the most important and populous places, and facility offered
for carriage of the produce of the most predictive portion of the
island.
Through the southern portion of the line, the physical features are
gentle elevations, almost parallel to the principal range of moun-
tains, which run east and west, nearly the length of the island ; the
eastern portion, from Port Morant to Plantain Garden, is almost
level ; while the northern runs through an exceedingly rich country,
rising into hills separate from each other by spacious vales. The
whole of the country traversed by the line abounds in the staple ar-
ticles of sugar, coffee, rum, molasses, ginger, pimento, and other
spices, dye wood, drugs, &c.; and as more than one-third of the
land is still uncultivated, the production of these articles will, by
the increased facility for traffic, be greatly increased; and cotton,
indigo, cocoa, Esc., and dry stuffs, at present unimported, will again
be brought into extensive cultivation. Timber of great variety
abounds along the line ; besides the pimento tree, which flourishes
spontaneously, there are mahogany, lignum vita;, ebony, Spanish
elm, toe cedar, and other trees of enormous bulk. The line will
also bring largely into use the valuable palmetto, and various other
woods for agricultural and household purposes, and cabinet works.
The mineral wealth of the country on the line is very considerable ;
lead ore is extremely rich and heavily impregnated with silver;
whilst every variety of copper ore is found in abundance. Carbonate
et' lime, valuable as manure, &c., of which Long Mountain is com-
posed, will form a considerable item in the tables of traffic.
The peculiarly favourable circumstances attending the construction
of this Railway render it highly probable that a considerable portion
of the capital demanded will not be required, as every material*
necessary for its formation is to be found on the line, and should the
atmospheric principle of propulsion be adopted, the necessity for cut-
tings and embankments will be generally superseded.
. A gratuitous grant of tile unappropriated land required for the line,
and the free use of all the timber, stone, &e., necessary for its con-
struction, will, it is expected, he coded by the Legislative Assembly ;
—tile mineral wealth, which may be developed by the construction
of the line, will accompany the grants of the land, and may be leased
to capitalists ior the benefit of the Shareholders.
Of the various imports, and the internal traffic, a satisfactory esti-
mate can scarcely be given—it will be sufficient to state, that Coals,
teisand,, Lime and
provisions, Cattle, Flenr, Tohaeoe, Hardwares, and
Salt, empty Puneheeils, Shingles, Bricks, Hoops,
Manufactures generally, re —ran important sources of profit.
The working expenses of the railway will require but a moderate
per centage, and from all the circumstances already stated, and care-
ful inquiries into the traffic, there can be no doubt that this line of
railway will yield a very remunerative return upon the eallital re-
quired, and the speedy eenaMullieetloll established between the
island and Great Pritalft, by means of the Royal Mail Steam Packet
Company, win 'enable the Directors in this country to exercise an
efficient control over the management of the affairs of the island.
The Committee propose to make provision in the Local Act (Or the
payment of 4h per cent, interest upon the amount paid upon the
shares from the passing of the Bill until the opening of the line.
