SECRETART—Stilllngtleet Locker, Esq.

Assuming the northern terminus of the Erewash Railway
as its origin, this line will pass through localities totally un-
provided with railway accommodation, into the populous ma-
nufacturing districts of Lancashire. It will continue the
important line from which it borrows the prefix of its name,
from Aifreton, in Derbyshire, where it will be a recipient of
traffic from the Cromford Canal—communicating with the Codnor
ironworks —along the Dinting Vale, and, obeying the course of the
river Derwent, enter Yorkshire, in the vicinity of Saddleworth. In
its course, it will pass through or near to Matlock, Ashbourne, Glos-
sop, Mottram, Hyfield, and Duckenfleld, in reaching which point, the
Manchester and Sheffield Railway will be intersected, and the Hud-
dersfield Canal Railway passed, near to the Rochdale station of the
Manchester and Leeds Railway.

It is unnecessary to state here the character of the country from
Rochdale to Blackburn : it will be sufficient to observe, that it is the
seat of those manufactures to which England owes her accumulating
wealth. The line will proceed thence through or near to Whitworth
and Rossendale, and fall into th• East Lancashire Railway, in the
♦icinity of Haslingden.
A branch will be thrown out of the trunk line, from the Junction
with the East Lancashire line near Hasliugden, by Low-Moor iron-
works and Bacup, to Todmorden.
. _

The Erewash rixtension will be the only direct route from the
centre of Derbyshire to the great manufacturing towns and chief
seaports of Lancashire. It will traverse a valley district adorned
with the most picturesque scenery, and, at the same time, rich in
mineral produce. It will communicate, laterally, with several trunk
lines of railway, and will be fed by no less than five working canals—
the Cromford—the Manchester and Shcflield—the Huddersfield—the
Manchester and Leeds—and the Liverpool and Blackburn.

To the multiplication of advantages which intersecting railways
and lines of still-water navigation are compelled to afford, the throw-
ing out of branches from the line itself in so many directions will add
still further powers of accommodation, and, when the dense popu'a-
tion in the localities traversed is considered, there is every reason to,
conclude that an ample remuneration far vested capital will be obi
Islay&

with the exact direction of the projected line, highly favourable gra-
dients
are obtained for a considerable pat of the length; and every
other section of the country, upon a preliminary survey, has been
reported as more than commonly practicable. While the return for
capital cannot be questioned, and the necessities of the district de-
mand accommodation, the expenditure must necessarily fall below
the Tisutil amount for works of equal magnitude.
To identify this project with. that of the Erewash Valley, although
not included under, or belonging to the same executive, it is pro-
posed to allow subscribers in that Company shares in the Erewash
Extension : the number to be regulated by the interest retained in
the elder project.
The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the Share-
holders beyond the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament is
obtained ; -and power will be taken in the Act to allow 4 per cent. in-
terest upon all calls.

PROSPECTUS.

This line will pass in a direct course from Tunbridge, via Paddock
Wood (thus connecting itself with Maidstone) through the parishes
of Brenehley, Horsmonden, Goudhurst, Cranbrook, Benenden,
Hawkhurst, Sandhurst, Rolvenden, Newenden, Northiam, Peas-
mai sit, Beckley, Iden, and Playden, to the town and harbour of
Rye, and it will embrace a large extent of adjacent country, at pre
sent unprovided with, and much requiring, the admitted advantages
of railway transit.
The length of the line will be about 25 miles—a great portion of it
will pass through a level country, and the remaining part is free from
any mati:rial engineering difficulty, or works likely to require any
serious outlay, and it Is not expected to be necessary to interfere with
any residences or ornamental property.

The saving of distance to Rye, and all the other places embraced
by this line,will be considerable.
The capital required is estimated not to exceed 500,0001.
During the last session of Parliament application was made for a
similar Hue, partially embracing the same country, when it was
shown in detail by evidence produced before the Conimittee, that the
contemplated traffic, atter deencting 401. per cent. for working ex-
penses, would leave a large per centavo upon the invested capital.
That line was rejected on the ground that the best direction had not
been selected, but with an intimation that the port of Rye was en-
titled to a direct railway communication with the interior of the
country, in the best direction towards London. The present scheme
has been based upon this intimation, taking advantage of the merits
and defects which appeared upon that investigation, and as it em-
braces a more populous and productive country, and passes in a more
direct line to London, and will have the benefit of better access to
other and more numerous lines, the sources of traffic are consider-
ably increased, and there is every reason to believe, from what passed
during the last session, that the present plan will be favourably enter-
tained by the Legislature.

The chief object is to open the port of Rye to the full benefit of a
railway communication, through a populous and productive district,
in the direction of London, to the best point et which it can avail itself
of tile existing and contemplated lines.
The imports of Rye, particularly coals, with lime and other ma-
nures, are of great importance to the country through which this line
will pass, and a cheaper and better mode of transit will much increase
the demand for them, and give the opportunity of great improvement
in the cultivation of the adjacent country.
A railway through the heart of the chief hop district of the king-
dom, also producing corn, timber, and hop poles, and communicating
at its terminus with a great part of the important cattle district of
Romney Marsh, must be a public advantage.

The port ofßye is admitted to be the best outlet and quickest route
to Paris and to other parts of the Continent, and there eau be no doubt
if a direct railway should be made to Rye, with a moderate improve-
ment in the harbour, that it would be much adopted, particularly as
a national and commercial communication with France, and by per-
sons travelling on business.

Secretary, at the Offices, 94, Cheapside ; Messrs. Willis and Neve,

The importauce of connecting remote parts of England by rail-
ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns
inthe
that eity the
to
and districts, can scarcely be better exemplified than by the line
g
which is now proposed to form a short and direct channel of inter-
course between Oxford and Salisbury. Numerous projected lines
now before the OCAS will make Oxford at the Korth, and Salisbury
at the south of the intended railroad, the central points from which
various radii will diverge to the north-west, north, and north-east of
the former, and to the south and west of the latter • and the

the appliance now suggested to effect a complete meals of transit to
the western and south-western counties.
The Oxford and Ntlisbury Direct Railway, in addition to
the benefits which will be conferred upon the nation at
large, by perfecting a direct line of commun'eatioa be-
tween the north-eastern and western and south-western
parts of England, will afford to the borough of Abingdon,
the market towns of Wantage, ilungerford, and Ludgorshall, and
the adjacent villages, an important railway accommodation, of which
the agricultural districts in which they are seated stand in much
need, and will provide a facility for the interchange of produce be.
twee* the rural, manufacturing, and commercial population of the
kingdom. The projected line will bring the Cathedral
City of Salis-
bury into immediate connexion with the City and University of
Oxford, combining also the advantage of a direct communication
with the sister University of Cambridge ; thus btrengthenin-
s the
ecclesiastical and academical relations of citieshle, whist the com-
mercial prosperity of the two terminal nmst of necessity be
essentially enhanced.
The want of railway accommodation has long been felt to press
unfairly upon the inhabitants of the important and thriving town of
Abingdon. Their means and opportunities of competing with tho more
fortunate traders of those towns which are already provided with di-
rect channels of transit, are thus severely crippled. The same remark
applies in some degree to the market town of Waytage, which, as
well as HangerfOrd and Ludgershall, claim a share of the profits
and advantages produced by railway traffic:. s
It has therefore been determined to commence the proposed line at
Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdon to the station of the Great
Western Railway at Steventon, thus giving to Abingdon a direct rail-
road to London. By Continaing the projected railway to 'Wantage, the
same facility of transit to London will be afforded to that place; and
a perfect line of road item the north-eastern counties will, by a Junc-
tion with the projection trent Cambridge to Oxford, he produced,
through the towns which have been named, llungerford and Ludgers-
' hall, to Salisbury, and thence to the south and western ports and die.

Surveyor-J. D. Shepherd, Esq.
The object of this railway is to afford to the inhabitants residing
within a circle of about ten m les south of the Thames the means
wf a safe, frequent, and speedy communication with the heart of
the City.

It is proposed to have a central terminus in Queen-street, Cheap-
side, with a direct line of railway over Southwark-bridge to the Ele-
phant and Castle, and thence by radiating branches to accommodate
the localities of Kennington, Brixton, Streatham, Croydon, Clap-
ham, llalham, Tooting, Mitcham, Walworth, Camberwell, Peckham,
Dulwich, Norwood, the Kent-road, Deptford, Greenwich, Black-
heath, Charlton, Woolwich, Wandsworth, Putney, Mortlake, and.
Itichmon.., completing the chain of cemmunicaron with the South-
Western at Wandsworth, and with the London and Brighton and
South-Eastern lac at Croydon.
It is needless to point out in this preliminary announcement the
enormous passenger traffic which may be expected on this railway,
when it is considered that the portion of the suburbs to which ac-
commodation is to be afforded contain a population -of between
seven and eight hundred thousand persons, requiring daily inter-
course with the City.

As this line will be constructed upon the atmospheric principle,
and the present public roads will be adopted as far as practicable,
the cost will not bear comparison with that of railways in general,
and it is estimated that it will pay to the shareholders of the under-
takiag a remunerating profit of not less than 10 per cent., even
reckoning tile conveyance of passengers at the low rates of from
3d. to 6d. for the whole, or any part of the distance, to say nothing
of the enormous traffic in parcels and goods.
A detailed prospectus, with the names of a very influential Com-
mittee, and other officers, will appear in a few days. In the mean-
time all communications and applications for shares, in the usual
form, may be addressed to It. B. Colley, Esq., the secretary pro tem.
at the temporary office, 18, St. Paul's-churchyard, or to the solicitor
of the Company, Thomas Parker, Esq., 18, St. Paul's-churchyard,
