The first line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the
Loughborough station on the Midland Counties line, and pro-
ceed through the Vale of Sbeepshead, to Pegs 0,-een Colliery.
near to the terminus of the Leicester and Swannington Rail-
waf, and from thence through the coal-fields of Swannington
and Cole-Orton to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. It will thence proceed across
the Moira Coal-field and through the rich agricultural districts of
Seal,CliftonCampville, and Edingale, to the Birmingham and Derby
Railway, which it will cross near to Elford Park Farm, and thence
traverse the Valley of the Tatne until it reaches Airewas, where it

will form a junction with the branch of the Trent Valley line now in

progress of making. At this looint it also meets the proposed South
Staffordshire line, by which means it reaches Lichfield, and by means
of one of the proposed lines it will afford communication with Bir-
mingham.
From Loughborough the line will be farther continued to A sfordby
on the Syston and Peterborough Railway, now in progress, and by
means of this latter line, a direct intercourse will be opened with
Melton Mowbray and the various towns through which that route
passes to Peterborough.
By means of its junction with the Trent Valley line at Alrewas, the
Grand Trunk reaches Colwich, and there meets the proposed North
Staffordshire line, which proceyds through the heart of the Potteries
to Newcastle-under-Lyne, Leel c, and Macclesfield. By means also
If the same Trent Valley lb se at Alrewas the Grand Trunk pro-
ceeds through Rugeley to Stafrord, thus comoieting its route, and
forming a connecting line between the Midland and Grand Junction
Railways. This branch of the. Roe was formerly surveyed by Mr.
Rastrick, and approved of by him as a canal communication, so that
no engineering difficulties exist.

The second line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the
Derby station, and taking the cot use of the Derby Canal proceed to
Chellaston, where there are ext:ensive plaster-works, and thence
by Swarkestone to the river T rent, which it will cross near to
the ferry at Weston Cliffe, and so proce'•d to Kings Newton
and Melbourne. From the latter place it will pass by the
village of Wilson to Breedon-on-th e-Hill, where there are extensive
lime-works, and thence proceed b y Staunton Harold, communicat-
ing by a branch line with the lea. I, lime, and coal works there ;
thence by the Leant Colliery to Worthington Rough, where it will
follow the line of the Cole-Orton and Swannington Railway until its
junction with the first line of the Grand Trunk at or near the Pegs
Green Colliery, and so proceed from thence to Ashby-de-la-Zouch.
At Ashby-de-la-Zouch the Grand Trunk forms a junction wills the
proposed Nottingham and Birminghem, and with the proposed Great
Manchester, Rugby, and Southampton Railways. Its importance as
a line for passengers is too obvious for comment, forming as it does a
complete junction between those two great thoroughfares, the Mid-
land and Grand Junction Rallway,s, and by its branch from Derby to
Ashby-de-la-Zonch another complete junction between the Great
Northern and Southern lines now in progress, thus opening a direct
line of communication to all parts of the kingdom.
As a line for traffic, the Grand Trunk will form the most direct
transit to the Leicestershire, Staffordshire, and Shropshire iron and
coal fields, to the Burton breweries, to North and South Wales, and
Ireland to Scotland, and all parts o f the north, and to the eastern,
southern, and western parts of the empire. It will also be the
nearest and most direct communication from the east to the north-
western manufacturing districts, as well as become the great route
from all parts of the kingdom to the midland counties of England.
The mineral resources are of the Very highest order. The Moira
coal-field is inexhaustible, whilst the coal-beds at Staunton Harold
alone comprise the finest quality of IKennel to a depth of seven feet,
with a super stratum of main coal to a depth of six feet. The sub-
stratum is yet to be worked. There are beds of Kennel and main
coal at Cole Orton of equal quality, though not of equal depth with
those of Staunton Harold, whilst the main coal at Swannington is un-
rivalled, being, in fact, the bowl of thus Leicestershire and Derbyshire
coal strata. It is needless to describg, the beneficial results which
must arise from this opening of the midland coal district to the Lon-
don and southern markets.

At Staunton Harold and Calke exist rich veins of lead ore, now in
full course of working.

The properties of the Breedon, Staunton Harold, and Ticknall lime
are so well known to agriculturists and others, that an extension of
traffic for so valuable a commodity into mire remote districts must
be of the utmost importance to the practical farmer.
In approaching the Trent, on leaving the lime district, the Grand
Trunk will fall in with most valuable quarries of millstone grit, ear-
viceable for paving and building purposes, and fer which a ready
market would be found along the line. The country also abounds
in gypsum, of which immense quantities are used in Birming-
ham and elsewhere : these markets will thus become opened for the
quarries at Chellaston.
A new and extensive outlet will also be opened for the earthenware
of Wooden Box and Griesley Potteries.
Until the Act of Parliament be obtained, the affairs will be under
the control of the Committee of Management, to whom power is
given to allot the shares and apply the funds of the Company in
payment of all proper expenses in the formation of the Company and
otherwise.

Power will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime the
Committee of Management take power, to alter or extend the lines,
to make branch lines, to abandon any part of the line, to raise addi-
tional capital, and to enter into arrangements with any other Com-
pany or Companies.
Application for shares must be made in the dsual form:to the soli-

The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway is a direct line from
London to Manchester, coming from London to Rugby, along the
London and Birmingham line, and proceeding from Rugby to Hinck-
ley through Market-Bosworth and Ashby-de-la-Zouch, to Derby,
thence to Ashboume, by Leek to Macclesfield, and along the Mac-
clesfield and Stockport, and Stockport and Manchester Railways, into
Manchester.
A branch to Buxton is in contemplation.
The principle of this railway is to obtain a direct through line be-
tween some of the most important districts in the kingdom with the
least possible amount of new railway, and, consequently, the smallest
expenditure of capital.
It will also establish the shortest direct communication between
Derby and London, Sheffield and London, and between all the towns
on the North Midland Railway and London.
The Manchester, Derby, and Rugby Railway, will open a direct
communication between Manchester and Derby, and will consider-
ably shorten the distance between Manchester and Nottingham and
Manchester and Leicester.
The line from Derby to Rugby will establish the direct communi-
cation from that town to London, which has been so long considered
desirable by the inhabitants.
The same will apply to Sheffield, when the Sheffield and Chester-
field branch of the North Midland Railway is made.
The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, in connexion with
the Oxford and Rugby, and Oxford, Southampton, and Gosport Rail-
way, forms a direct Manchester and Southampton line.
THE GREAT ADVANTAGES
Of the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, over the other pro-
jects into Manchester, among oth.rs, are—
First. That there are only seventy-five miles of railway to be made
in place of one hundred and eighty-nine.
Second. That it is a more direct line floor London to Manchester
than even the proposed direct lines.
Third. That it interferes with no existing railway property or
vested interests.
Fourth. That it passes through a District rich in manufactures,
agriculture, and minerals, but which—more especially as regards its
agricultural produce, and a convenient system of intercommunica-
tion for the conveyance of that agricultural produce, to supply the
large manufacturing towns in thevicinity—has been hitherto lett to-
tally without railway communication.
Fifth. That it passes through the towns in its route, instead of
avoiding them.
Sixth. That the whole line of railway from Rugby to Manchester

TO SCRIPHOLDERS.
In consequence of modifications of this line, rendered necessary by
the decisions of Parliament in the late session, and of the increase of
the Parliamentary deposit required by the New Standing Orders, the
Provisional Committee find it necessary to call in the scrip hitherto
issued, for the purpose of replacing it by new scrip, to require an ad-
ditional deposit of I2s. per share, and to cause new deeds to be pre-
pared for the signature of the Proprietors. Parties to whom scrip
has been issued are acconlingly requested to send in their scrip, on
or before the first day of October next, to the Secretary. New letters
of allotment will at once be issued to such of the present holders of
scrip so sent in, as were original subscribers for their shares; but
where the scrip has changed hands, satisfactory references as to the
responsibility of the holders will be required by the Directors before
new letters of allotment can be issued ; on the additional deposit
being paid (in accordance with the new letters of allotment), and the
new deeds being executed, the new scrip will be issued.
On and after the 10th of October next, t he present scrip (unless i
shall have been sent in to the Secretary, and received by him pre-
viously to that day) will be considered as cancelled, and the shares it
represents will be re•allotted. Parties sending scrip are requested to
write their names across each scrip certificate for the sake of security,
and to send by a post letter, at the same time that they send their
scrip, a list of the numbers of the scrip they have dispatched, with
their own name, residence, and (it-necessary) that of their references,
attached in full to the end of such list.

The geographical position of Worcester has caused its adoption as
the point where the broad gauge trunk lines of the west are to have a
common terminus. From Oxford the Great Western Company have
decided on constructing a line of rail :—another proje,t under the pa-
tronage of the same powerful direction is now before the public,
uniting Worcester with Warwick ; and, that the broad gauge will be
carried from Worcester Into Wales, and to the Irish packet stations
on that coast, is now no longer doubtful. This undertaking will com-
plete a series of great avenues of iron-road, whose ramification
from Worcester will render every part of the kingdom directly
accessible from that city. Passing up the Severn Vale, where
Sittouwriliportd,isacnlodseproaceesduicncgestshioennee through
fPougicturesque scenes, it reaches
Kidderminster, arrives at
Bewdley. This district is one of the chief seats of our carpet manu-
factures, and in the towns here named, exclusive of the intervening
districts, upwards of 30,000 persons are located. Leaving stharbridge
a little to the east, the line is taken to Rridgenorth, a town enjoying
an active inland trade, and possessing woollen manufactures and iron
works, that give employment to a population of about 15,000. Pass-
Venlock, Brosel Pass-
ing through or near to Much 1 eY, and Madeley, from
which place there will be a branch to Shrewsbury, the line ascends
Colebrook Dale, and approaching in its course Wellington and Wem
enters Whitchurch. From this central places branch will be formed
to Norwich via Stoke, forming a junction with the Liverpool and
Crewe Railway. The trunk line will continue from Whitchurch, and
passing through or near Malpas, have its northern terminus in the
city of Chester. . -

in estimating the probable :mount of revenue which the Worees-
ter and Chester Railway may be expected to yield, many sources of
profit present themselves, such are the dense population located along
the length of the Severn Vale, and the enriching works of industry
In which they are engaged. Amongst the latter may be mentioned
the ehina manufactories of Worcester, the iron, coal, and earthen-
ware works at Broseley and other places; the agricultural produce
brought to Stourport market ; the inexhaustible fields of coal and
mines of iron ore in the vicinity of Colebrock Dale, Ironbridge, and
the districts to the east of Shrewsbury generally.
In calculating the cost of construction unusual advantages are also
obvious. The line traverses a district affording levels of several
miles in extent, and with a surface peculiarly favourable. The resi-
dent population, disappointed by the postponement of promised pro-
jects, have warmly espoused the present, and the labouring popula-
tion being familiar with mining operations, will be found better
qualified for the execution of railway works here than in many:other
localities. _ _
