This line of railway, which is about sixty-fly. miles in length, is
intended to commence at Uttoxeter (the terminus of the proposed
Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Worcestershire Junction Railway) and
to proceed to Sheffield and Huddersfield. It will firm a direct com-
munication between two of the most important manufacturing and
mining districts in England, viz., South Staffordshire, Huddersfield,
and Sheffield, and Rotherham in Yorkshire ; the South Staffordshire
portion 'including Dudley, Tipton,Walsall, Bilston, Wednesbury, and
Wolverhampton. _ _

This line will also open a direct railway communication between
Leeds, Huddersfield, and the West Riding of Yorkshire and Kidder-
minster, Worcestershire, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, Taunton,
and Exeter, and with Ludlow, Leominster, Hereford, Brecon, Car-
diff, Neath, Swansea, Llanelly, Caermarthen, Milford Haven, Fish-
guard, Aberystwith, and with Porthdynllaen, the future outport for
Ireland. And also the most direct communication between Leeds
and Southampton.
-'•— • - •

The line will pass nearly along the Uttoxeter and Caldon Canal to a
point near Prestwood, in case the canal be purchased by the pro-
moters of this undertaking. It will proceed through Ellaston and
Mayfield to Ashbourne, thence near Dovedale, Buxton, and Chapel-
en-la-Frith, Woodhead and Holmflrth to Huddersfield, where it will
join the Huddersfield and Leeds Railway, and so to Thirsk. It will
open new mines, in addition to those already in work, of lead, coal,
iron ore, barytes, and carboniferous and magnesian limestone on the
route, in addition to forming a direct, speedy, and cheap communica-
tion between the important towns above mentioned.
Arrangements have been made with other companies to run into
this line from Sheffield. This company reserves the right to raise
additional capital to extend the line to Leeds.
Many of the above-mentioned mineral productions are essential to
the mining districts of South Staffordshire and Sheffield. The North
Staffordshire and Derbyshire Limestone is much superior to that of
South Staffordshire in the fluxion of iron (15 cwt. of the former being
equal to a ton of the latter), and producing a better quality of ma-
terial. At present, themode of transit is very circuitous and expen-
sive, the line from the Caldon Mines having to go by canal round
by Etruria, Leek, and the Potteries, to the Dudley and surrounding
furnaces, when, by this railway, it would be taken in a straight line
to them ; and the Ashbourne, Cromford, Worksworth, and Bakewell
country would have an entirely new trade opened to them. The iron-
stone in the ne:ghbourhood of Sheffield is also becoming very scarce,
and great quantities are introduced from Scotland; the same scarcity
exists in South Staffordshire; and the route of this line would fur-
nish a cheap and good supply', at present not worked, and without a
market, botlj north and south. In addition to these great advan-
tages, a good local, market would be opened along the agricultural
and other parts of the district at present very badly supplied with
lime and coal, and that of an inferior quality, and by expensive car-
riage. It is, therefore, next to impossible to calculate the immeese
traffic which would jfelar down this line and the Derbyshire, Stafford-
shire, and Worcestershire Junction Railway.

The calculations with have been made show a very large prollt.
There are large leifti and slate quarries on the line which only want
an outlet like the one now contemplated to bring them into full work.
The coal is of a superior quality.
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 liaes of railway meeting at
Uttoxeter 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
yanks, Bagote Woods, and Kingston Woods, upwards of 4,000
acres, chiefly finds its way to the MancheQter 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 dgtailql,l survey, aqd there are not more than ordinary enaneering
