RAILROADS IN THE ISLE OF WIG ITT
That the public may not be misled by the various statements
that have appeared in some of the public papers, and in the pro-
spectus of the,lsle of Wight Railways, I am desired to state, that at a
General Meeting : of the Landowners and Ratepayers of the island,
held at Newport, on the 26th of June last, resolutions were carried
declaring the opinion of the meeting to be adverse to the introduc-
tion of railways into the island, and that a committee of gentlemen
was at the, same time appointed to watch the proceedings of the
railway projectors ; and I am further directed by this Committee to
state, that not only will the scheme be opposed by the most influen-
tial landed. proprietors through whose 'estates the railways would
pass, but that it is also intended to offer a vigorous public opposition
the project in Parliament, should a Bill be sought for.

Capital 500,0001., in 20,000 Shares of 251. each. Deposit
I/. 7s. 6d. per Share.
(Provisionally Registered.)

PRELIM I NARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
The object of this Company is to supply the jnhabitants of the
southern, and a portion of the northern, districts of the metropolis
with the pure water of the River Wandle, in lieu of that which they
at present derive through the established Companies from the
Thames, contaminated as it is by the sewerage of the whole
metropolis.
The River Wandle rises at Croydon, and falls into the Thames at
Wandsworth. The water will be taken from the mouth of the
river, thus avoiding compensation to the mlllowners and others on
the ,tream.
This river willbe preserved uncontaminated by means of a series of
sewers c nstructed along its course, into which every impurity now
finding its way into the stream will be turned, and flow direct' into
the Thames. By this mode a pure supply of wales, exceeding In the
driest season 27,000,000 g.tlions daily, or more titan four times the
quantity supplied by the present Companies on the south side, will
be secured to this Company.
This project, which is of real and undoubted importance, will com-
mand a most profitable return on the outlay, and confer a !mit on
the immense population of the districts in question.
The necessary surveys and estimates have been completed.
Detailed prospectuses, containing the names of the Provisional
Committee and officers, will be punished shortly. Meantime appli-
cations for shares, in the form below, should be made to the joint
solicitors of the Company, Messrs. Burchell, Kilgour, and Parson,
47, Parliament-street; and Messrs. Watts, Galsworthy, and Gals-
worthy, 19, Ely-place, Holborn.
To the Provisional Committee of the River Wandle Water Company.
Gentlemen,—l request you to allot me Shares of 251.
each in the above Company, and I undertake to accept the same,
or such less number as you may appropriate to me, subject to the re-
gulations of the Company, and to sign the necessary deeds, and to pay
when required the deposit thereon of 11. 7s. 6d. per share.

The Provisional Committee beg to announce that they have com-
pleted the allotment of shares in this undertaking, and that all the
letters of allotment have been this day posted. They regret that, in
conseque.ice of the overwhelming number of applications for shares
which they have received, they have been compelled' materially to
reduce' the amounts allotted, in almost every instance, and, in
in numerous cases, wholly to pass over the claims of highly respect-
able and influential parties .to whom they would have willingly made
allotments, had the number of shares at their disposal enabled them
so to do. They, trust, therefore, that those applicants whose expec-
tations may have been disappointed will accept this explanation as -a
sufficient apology ; and as applications for shares still continue to
arrive,"the Committee are' constrained to repeat their former notice,
that it is altogether out of their power to entertain them.

This Railway is projected to simply the connexion still wanting
between Kendal and Cockermouth, Kendal and ITiverston, and
Keswick and Penrith. It will link the Furness Railways with
the Kendal and Windermere and the Lancaster and Carlisle Railways
at Kendal, and will further connect these with the Cockermouth
and Workington and Whitehaven and 3taryport lines of Railway,
uniting again as a second point. of junction the Lancaster and Car-
lisle Railway at Penrith, and thus embracing all the frequented sta-
tions in the lake district, and accommodating the greatest amount of
population. The length of railway to be constructed by this Com-
pany will be 63 miles, namely, from Cockermouth via Keswick to
Windermere, 33 miles; from Keswick to Penrith, 15 ; and from Win-
dermere to Furness, 15 miles ; and the surveys of the country prove
the line to be free from difficulty, and the gradients unexceptionable.
A prescribed interest in the project will be reserved for the Pro-
prietors in the 'Kendal and Windermere and Cockermouth and
Workington-Railway Companies ; also to those applicants in the pro-.
posed Furness add Windermere Railway (now merged in this under-
taking), to whom letters of allotment were about to be issued.

YORK, HULL, and EAST and WEST YORK-
SHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY.

(Provisionally Registered.)
The importance of a direct line of railway from the City of York
to the port of Hull, which shall, at the same time, give the greatest
extent of accommodation to the intermediate district, now wholly de-
prived of the means of railway transit, is so apparent, that a com-
pany has been formed for the construction of a line, commencing by a
junction with the London and York, and Leeds and York Railways, at
or near York, to the towns of Pocklington, Market Weighton, Bever-
ley, and terminating at the extensive East Docks, now in course
of construction at Hull, with a branch from the main line, com-
mencing at or near Market Weighton, to Selby, thus affording
the shortest and most direct communication from Newcastle and the
whole of the north of England, as well as from Skipton, Colne, Otley,
and the northern part of Lancashire, by the proposed Lancashire and
Yorkshire North-Eas ern Railway, to the important port of Hull, and
at the same time forming a complete connexion between the several
towns of York, Hull, Beverley, Driftleld, Bridlington, Market Weigh-
ton, Poeklington, and Selby.
The advantages which will be tkus secured to the whole of the
East Riding, will appear by a reference to the map ; and negotiations
are now perdit,o• by which this line will be promoted in friendly
conjunction wjth'other important railways lit the west of Yorkshire
and Lancashire.
The proposed branch from Market Weighton to Selby will give to
a rich and very highly cultivated portion of the East Riding the
shertest line for the transmission of its agriculural produce to the
markets of Leeds, Wakefield, and the consuming districts, and secure
the return of coals, lime, and manures, at a greatly reduced cost ;
while the terminus of the main line at the East Docks at Hull Will
save the large expenditure which, without the construction of this
line, must be incurred in 'the carriage of merchandise across the
town.
The works will be of very easy construction. A survey is now
being made, and a detailed prospectus, with the names of a highly in-
fluential provisional Committee, together with the amount of capital,
and further particulars, will be announced in a few days.
Communications may, in the meantime, be addressed to the Coin,

The Committee of Management beg to inform those parties who
have applied for Shares in this undertaking that the allotment is now
completed, and that the letters of allotment will be issued on Saturday
next, the 6th instant. They regret that, in consequence of the
numerous applications, more delay has taken place than was at first
anticipated. All applicants not receiving letters of allotment must
not consider that their applications were overlooked, but that the
great demand for Shares over and above the number to be allotted
necessarily prevented their being granted.
The Committee are happy to be able to Inform their Subscribers
that nearly the whole of the landowners along the line have promised
their support, and that they have also secured the co-operation of
many influential local gentlemen.
These advani ages, coupled with the intrinsic merits of the under-
taking, lead the Committee confidently to anticipate a successful
result to their application to Parliament next session. The surveys
are being i roceeded with, and all the requisite measures are being
taken for a due compliance with the standing orders.

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS.

The object proposed by this railway is, as well to supply the wants
of the district through which it passes, as to cotnplete the chain of
railway communication between the eastern and midland counties
and the western district, including the whole of North and South
Wales.
The country through which the line will pass is of the richest
description, and thickly populated.
By means of this, and the existing and protected lines of railway,
the whole of the ports in the eastern and north-eastern counties, In-
cluding the manufacturing city of Norwich, and towns of Leicester,
Nottingham, Sheffield, and Leeds, will be brought in direct com-
munication with the mineral districts of North and South Wales,
and. the salt district of Droitwich._
- • "

The promoters of this line submit to the public, as a most import-
ant consideration, the abating of those causes of loss and inconveni-
ence which, along the line of country over which this railway will
pass, are experienced from water carriage being from necessity at
present a principal mode of transit for heavy goods and merchandise,
and which, in the winter season, is productive of the most evil con-
sequences to those engaged in commerce.
A manifest advantage to the Shareholders will be the extent of traffic
which this line will secure and appropriate, in lieu of that which
hitherto has been engrossed by the more dilatory course of water
carriage.
As a public advantage to the inhabitants generally of the country
through which this line will pass, the promoters submit that the
equalisation in prices of the produce and merchandise which the
opening of this line of railway is calculated to produce is of the high-
est importance, and one of the principal benefits which this and other
similar undertakings are alone capable of producing.
The proposed line will commence at Rugby, the terminus of the
Midland Counties Railway, and also of the proposed Rugby ond Hunt-
ingdon Junction Railway, and proceed fr.in thence near to-the towns
of Leamington, Warwick, Alcester, and end at the City of Worcester.
At Worcester this fine mill form a junction with the several Welsh
railways, the Shrewsbury, Worcester, and Crews Union Railway,
and the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway.
At Warwick it will unite with the Birmingham and Oxford Junc-
tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon-
don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway.
And at Rugby with the London and Birmingham, the Midland
Counties, and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railways.
To the inhabitants of Rugby as well as to those of the Midland,
Eastern, and Northern Counties this line will afford a direct com-
munication with the fashionable towns of Leamington and Chelten-
ham, as well as the whole of the Western 'Counties:
To the inhabitants of Leamington and Warwick it will give a
direct communication with the City' of Worcester and North and
South Wales, now so much needed.
And to the inhabitants of Worcester, in addition to providing the
nearest route to London via WarVvick, it will be an outlet to the
Eastern Counties and .ports, and afford great facilities for the increase
of the manufactories now carried on in that city.
The whole of the country has during the present month. been most
carefully Surveyed by the engineers; and they report it to be free from
engineering difficulty, and well adapted for a railway; and the pro-
visional Directors entertain no doubt that the line will be made
under the average rate of expense incident to similar undertakings,
and from the statistics in their poseession, that the traffic will
afford an ample return for the capital invested.
The line will not interfere with any ornamental property, and the
landowners are favourable to the undertaking.
The Shareholders in the several Railways proposed to be joined or
Intersected will have a preference in the allotment of shares in this
undertaking.
No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the Act is
obtained, and power will be applied fer to allow interest at 4/. per
centum on all calls, from the time of their respzetive payments, and
to limit the liability of the Shareholders to the amount of their sub-
reriptions.
The Directors reserve power to themselves to amalgamate with
any existing or projected line of railway ; to vary the route ; to
snake all desirable extensions; and to Increase the capital as may be
advisable or necessary.
Prospectuses, with a Plan, will be published in a few days,
and may then be obtained on application to the several solicitors,
and to any of the following share brokers, viz., Messrs. Peppercorne
and Co., 2, Old Broad-street ; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39, Loth-
bury, London ; Messrs. Payne and Freer, Leicester ; Messrs. Alston
and Gage, Liverpool ; Messrs. Freeman and son, Northampton ' • Mr.
John Duncaft, Manchester ; Messrs. George Edwards and Son, Bris-
tol ; Mr. John Watson, Leeds ; Mr. John, Cragg, Shipton ; and
Messrs. Atkinson, Newcastle • to any of whom applications in the
tadermentioned form may be iddressed.
FORM OF- APPLICATION.
To the Provisional Directors of the Rugby, Warwick, and Worcester
Railway.
I request you to allot me Shares in this undertaking; and I
hereby undertake to accept the same or any smaller number that
may be allotted me, and to pay the Deposit thereon, and to execute
the Parliamentary Contract and Subscriber's Agreement when re-
quired

This railway will proceed from York to Lancaster (about 72 miles,
by the most direct practicable route, and pass near Knatesborough,
llatrowgate, Long Preston, Settle, and many other important places.
The counties of York and Lancaster comprise a population of
3,500,000 persons, and are, perhaps, the most wealthy and populous
divisions of the kingdom. The roads b tween York and Lancaster
are mostly carried over the tops of hills, and, in winter, are nearly
impassable ; this line will pass along the valleys, and the journey,
now rarely made, by coach, within twelve hours, may be performed,
on the railway, in two 'tours and a half.
It will provide facilities of access to all the great manufacturing,
mining, and agricultural districts of the north of England, to the Isle
of Man, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales; to namburgh, by connecting
Morecombe Bay and Fleetwood Harbour on the west coast with the
port of Hull on the east coast; to the lakes of Westmoreland and
Cumberland; to Harrowgate, celebrated for its unrivalled sulphur,
mineral, and chalybeate springs; and to the important intermediate
districts between York and Lancaster. which abound with valuable
minerals, and raise vast quantities of live stock and agricultural pro-
duce. Many places near the intended course of the line are known
to IMESess inexhaustible supplies of lead, iron, slate, limestone, free-
stone, and other useful minerals, but these are now comparatively
unavailing, from the great cost of coals and carriage. The railway
will rapidly develop these sources of prosperity, by introducing coals at
a low price, and providing cheap carriage for mineral produce of
every kind; it will also furnish a most desirable means of transit for
passengers and merchandise to and from every part of the king-
dom, and a cheap conveyance- for immense quantities of live stock
and agricultural produce front the rural to the manufacturing
and mining districts. Many completed and projected railways will
intersect this line, and greatly facilitate traffic and intercourse in
every direction. With the Directors of these railways, and of various
others which have a station at York or Lancaster, the Committee
will endeavour to make arrangements likely to prove mutually bene-
ficial, and they have much pleasure in stating that the landowners
along the line are extremely favourable to the undertaking, and con-
alder it will materially augment the value of their possessions and
prOve advantageous to the country and the shareholders.
It has been fully ascertained that the proposed line presents but
few engineering difficulties, and that, although it will pass through
Ettalerl t e,
some very hilly districts, it may be constructed along valleys, and
with favourable gradients throughout nearly its entire course. The
liability of the shareholders will be restricted by Act of Parliament
to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be applied for
in the Bill to allow interest at four per cent. per annum on all calls,
from the passing of the Act to the opening of the line.
Applications for shares may be addressed, in the form annexed, to

LYON S and AVIGNON RAILWAY
(COMPAGNIE SEBASTIANI.)

REPORT TO THE ENGLISH SUBSCRIBERS.
GENTLEMEN,—WC regret our not being able to report that we have
succeeded in our efforts to obtain for you the objects of our Associa-
tion ; our best energies have been devoted to the subject, but from
the altered state of the circumstances which has now arisen, our
Company, as at present constituted, is not in a position to compete
for the Lease.
At the time our Company was formed, it was understood that the
Government would provide the land for the line and stations, and
possibly would undertake the earthworks. The capital we then
proposed, (60 millions of francs), was considered sufficient to provide
all that the Company, under that state of circumstances, would have
required ; but after much doubt and delay, the Government have at
length daermined that their lessees shouli undertake the purchase of
the land, as well as the entire construction and working of the Rail-
way. The pm has now passed the Chambers in that form, and has
fixed the Capital at 80 millions (irrespective of the Grenoble
Branch).
Having, as we interpret our engagement to the Subscribers,
neither power to undertake on their behalf the purchase of land, nor
adequate funds for that larger purpose, we are under the necessity of
announcing the dissolution of the present Subscription, and we have
accordingly only !lather on this head to inform you, that we now
hold the deposits subject to the order of the several Subscribers, and
ready to be immediately returned in exchange for theletters of allot-
ment and banker's receipts.
We would now invite your attention to the copy of the
statutes, which have been framed and adopted for the regulation of
a new Company for making and working the proposed line. You
will observe, that it is mainly under the same direction, and in many
respects of the same character as that which we originally proposed.
The capital is necessarily larger, and the powers vested in those who
have the conduct of the undertaking of a much more general charac-
ter. We desire to refer you in particular to articles 4-22-23--
24-28--56.
We are empowered to offer to each Shareholder in the former
Company who shall, on or before the 20th of September next, and
in the manner we are about to mention, declare his option to accept
them, the same number of Shares in the new Company as he holds
in the original Company, with or without one additional Share in
respect of every five original Shares, and in order to facilitate the
necessary arrangements, we have prepared such forms as will enable
the Subscribers to express their wishes with convenience.
Ci Thley
ar
are
ready, and may be applied for at 62, King William-street, e
tween Eleven o'clock, A.M. and Three o'clock F.M.
We beg to add,that in the event of receiving at this office no com-
inunication respecting any particular allotment

September next, the de-
posit thereon will be held subject to the order t e party

to extend d e

sent Proprietors to join the new Company.

merits of the undertaking, and our recommendation to the Sub-
scribers to renew their investments in the new Company.

This project is intended to form the most direct communication
between the important grazing country of the Lincolnshire Marshes
and the large manufacturing and consuming districts of the Midlancl
and Northern Counties ; and to establfsh an immediate connexion
between the East Coast and South Wolds of Lincolnshire, and the
various coal field:4 in Yorkhire, Derbyshire, and Staffordshire-,
thereby facilitating the export of corn, wool, cattle, and other agri-
cultural produce, and the import of coal, timber, stone, slate, seeds,
oil-cake, and artificial manures.
By this line (in communication with other railways), Birnitughani„
Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Wakefield, Nottingham,
Derby, Stafford, the Potteries, and other important manufacturing
towns, will be placed in direct count.24n - with Hamburgh, Rotter-
dam, Antwerp, and the principal seaports of the north of Europe;
between which places and Wainfieet the voyage will be several hours
shorter than from either-Mull or Grimstiy,
There is a good passenger traftle generally throughout the line.,
swelled by the large and numorous fairs; held at Lincoln, Horneastle.,
Spilsby, Partney, Bergh, and Wainfleet (for bosses, cattle, and
sheep), and by the visitors to Skegness, one of the principal watering
places on the Lincolnshire coast, tlte whole of which will be mate-.
rially increased by railway aoecutmodation.
The improvement of the extensive harbour of Wainfleet,
and the forming thew a perfect shipping station for the -,,anufactur-
ing districts, is one of the important features in this r.ad.trtaking.
This haven possesses natural roadsteads of a S',lperlor description.
offering a safe anellorage tar shipping of any burthen, in 24 feet of
water, at ebb tide, close to, the shore at Gibraltar Point. Any num-
ber of ships can ride safely at anchor ; and large fleets of merchant-
men freplently resort thither for safety. during the prevalence of
northerly gales, an advantage inapertealy possessed by both Hall awl
Grimsby; added to Which, a great saving will be effected In the Cus-
tom, dock, anci harbour duos, as well as In pilotage and insurance.
No sea works of any magnitude will be required.
The length of the proposed line will be about 40 miles, and the
country does not present any engineering difficulties.
No railway in existence er in contemplation provides accom-
modation for the district ,Of country through which this line will
Pass. Application has been made to the principal landewners on the
line, and 110 objection is anticipated.
4 portion of the Shares will be reserved for parties locally inter-
rested, and the remainder ivill be allotted to persons giving un-
exceptionable referenceS, No Shareholder will be liable beyond his
subscription.
The Subscribers' Agreement will 'contain powers to the Provisional
Committee to run into other railways now or hereafter to be made,
and to alter the termini of the proposed line, so that the main ob-
ject of the scheme be carried out.- - '

The principle of this important railway scheme is an extension of
the North Staffordshire Railway, from Uttoxeter southward, through
Burton-upon-Trent, by Swadlingcote, Gresley, and Moira, to Ashby-
de-la-Zouch, Market-Boswerth, and Hinckley, uniting, in the direc-
tion of Leicester, with the proposed Leicester and Bedford, and
South Midland Railways, and south of Hinckley, with the Midland
Railway at or near Miesthorpe. The main objects of the scheme
are-
1. To secure the best practicable direct line from London to Man-
chester and Liverpool.
2. To provide the best and most complete railway communication
for the important mining, manufacturing, commercial, and landed in-
terests of the extensive district yet untraversed by railways, which
lies between Uttoxeter on the north and Leicester on the south.
The line of the proposed railway takes the most direct praticable
route from Manchester to a point near Hinckley, from which it opens
two communications with London—one by the Midland Railway to
Rugby, and thence by the London and Birmingham Railway—the
other by the Leicester and Bedford, or South Midland Railway,
through Market Harborough to Pedford and Hitchin, and thence by
the London and York Railway. Thus combining the advantage,
never before attempted, of the most direct route, with the choice of
two approaches to London—a result attained by the promotion rather
than the sacrifice or injury of any existing railway interest.
In this scheme the public interest has been the sole consideration,
and it is confidently expected that public support will follow.
In the adaptation of this scheme to the local interests of the dis-
trict, for the first time opened by it, the same principle has been the
guide.
It opens fairly and fully the great coal-fields of Moira, Swadling-
cote, and Swannington. It traverses the pottery districts of Swad-
lingeote,. Newhall, Gresley, and the neighbourhood; it provides
most ample accommodation for the increased and rapidly-increasing
trading'and manufacturing interests of Leicester and Burton-upon-
Trent, and their neighbourhoods. It approaches as near as practi-
cable to every town in the district of Hinckley, Market-Bosworth,
Ashby-de-la-Zouch (with its celebrated baths), Burton, and Tutbury.
It interferes with no residential or ornamental property, and the
support of many of the most influential landholders is already secured

in its favour.
The " Midland Union" also connects itself with the Leicester and
Birmingham, and Boston, Stamford, and Birmingham Railways, and
by this connexion opens the most direct and complete eastern and
western communication yet projected.
By means of the Boston, Stamford, and Birmingham Railway,
and the various other Railways in East Anglia, an easy and direct
communication is opened between Burton-upon-Trent, and the corn-
producing counties of Lincolnshire, Norlblk, and Suffolk.
By means of the Coventry Branch of the Leicester and Birming-
ham Railway, and the direct access to Rugby, secured by the pro-
posed junction with the Midland Railway, the most advantageous op-
portunities are afforded to the Moira, Swadlingcote, and other Collieries
of the district, for sending coals to Leamington, Warwick, and the

southern markets.'
By means of the short diverging Line to the Trent Valley Railway,
at Atherstone, the communication between Leicester and Tamworth
is fully provided for.
Upon a careful examination of the details of this scheme, to which
public attention is earnestly invited, its advantages will be found to
be such as not only to supersede the necessity of a direct indepen-
dent Line from London.to Manchester, but to secure to the important
local interests of the district traversed by it more complete and be-
neficial accommodation than any direct and independent line could,
by reason of its more extended objects and interests, afford to give.

EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY COMPANY.
The Directors of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, observ-
ing that, in the Advertisements of the Chelmsford and Bury Railway
Company, it is stated that their particular line is supported and
sanctioned by the Eastern Counties Railway Company, have to an-
nounce that no such support or sanction has been given.
The Company's • engineer, Mr. Robert Stephenson, has been in-
structed to examine the entire district, and to advise upon the line
of railway to be constructed through it, which the Eastern Counties
Railway Company must sanction as most conducive to public inte-
rest.
• • _ By order of the Board,
A BULKELEY, Secretary.
Offices, London Terrainus, Aug. 12, 1845.
•

The object of this undertaking is to effect the most direct and com-
prehensive line of communication, by means of existing and projected
railways—the Manchester, Buxton, and Ambergate, the North Der-
byshire Union, and the Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland Junction
Lines, between the Potteries, the iron districts of Staffordshire and
Shropshire, Cheshire, North Wales, Holyhead, Sheffield, the Ports of
Gainsborough, Grimsby and Hull, North Derbyshire, and the whole
of the West Riding of the County of York.
Independent of the thorough traffic, which will necessarily be con-
siderable, the local traffic is alone sufficient to justify the construc-
tion of this line, and the promoters feel themselves warranted in
stating, that from a careful estimate of traffic on data accurately
taken, a profit of at least ten per cent, will be realised, after deduct-
ing forty per cent. for working expenses.
By this line of railway, the great quarries of limestone at Buxton
and the neighbourhood (which have been proved to be the best for
all purposes), will be thrown open to the Staffordshire and Shrop-
shire iron works (where 2,000,000 tons are consumed annually In the
fluxion of iron), as well as to other parts, and no doubt will form a
great source of profit to the Company.
It will also open the shortest and best line for the conveyance of
salt from the Cheshire salt works, and also of the Staffordshire and
Shropshire pig iron, and pottery ware, to the ports of Gainsborough.
Grimsby and null, and to Sheffield, and the manufacturing districts
of Yorkshire. It also throWs open the great lead, copper, iron, and
slate mines in North and South Wales. The extensive coal fields of
Norton-in-the-Moors (about six miles frOm Leek), through which
the line passes, and will thereby afford to Buxton and other places in
Derbyshire, a cheap and abundant supply of excellent coal at a
greatly reduced cost.
In addition to the large mineral traffic which this line will possess.
the conveyance of merchandise will form a source of considerable
profit. Besides the general passenger traffic, there must in the sum-
mer months be a great accession of visitors from Ireland, North and
South Wales, Chester, and the Staffordshire Potteries to Buxton.
Bakewell, Chatsworth, Matlock, Dovedale, &c., to which places It
has been proved that 90,000 persons annually resort for the benefit
of their health, and on pleasure excursions.
Companies have been fornied to make a line of railway from Shef-
field to Buxton, and Stoke-upon-Trent to Cre we, and Norton-bridge, to
join the Grand Junction Railway, with each of whin Companies the
Committee are in communication, and arrangements will be made
with them so that the proposed ompany will only have to snake
the connecting link between the two places, namely, from Buxton to.
Stoke-upon-Trent, to complete the entire line.
The distance to be made by this Company is nearly 22 miles; and
the engineering character is such as to justify the promoters ill de-
claring the proposed capital amply sufficient for its construction, and
for sudh mineral branches as the district may require.
Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at 41. per cent
per annum upon all depositse,and calls until the opening of the line_
The liability of Subscribers will of course be limited by the Act of
Parliament to the amount of their respective shares.
In the allotment of Shares a preference will be given to parties
local} Interested ; and such applicants as have shares in the Man-
chester, Buxton. and Amber Gate, Manchester, Sheffield, and Mid-
land Junction, and Derby and Crewe Companies, are requested to
state that circumstance in their applications, but none can be re-
ceived unless accompan:ed by a reference to some party of known
respectability.
