This line of railway has been projected to complete the chain of
communication between the Eastern and Midland Counties of Eng-
land and the Western parts of the Island. By this important scheme
a direct communication will be opened from the Eastern Counties,'
through Derby and Stafford, to Chester and Liverpool, by the Grand
Junction Railway—to North Wales and llolyltead, by the projected
Trent Valley Continuation—and to Central Wales, by the Manchester
and Birmingham Continuation. It may, therefore, be certainly an-
ticipated that all, or nearly all the through traffic from Norfolk,
Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, and the Southern parts of Yorkshire,
to Liverpool, Shropshire, Cheshire, North and Midland Wales, Ire-
land, and the West of Scotland, must pass over this line.
On reference to the map, it will be seen that the most important of
projected railways the East of England centre at
the existing and
Derby, and those on the Western coost at Stafford. The proposed
railway will supply the important desideratum of a direct line of com-
munication between these two great railway centres.
Independent, however, of the through traffic, which is sufficient
of itself not only to justify but to compel the formation of a railway
from Derby to Stafford, the projected line will supply a much-wanted
means of communication between large commercial and manufac-
turing towns, and accommodate the inhabitants of an exceedingly
populous district. The local traffic alone will be sufficient to afford
an ample return upon the capital invested t and as this railway must,
from its important position, command, in addition, a great amount of
through traffic, there is no doubt it will prove a most desirable in
vestment.

The country has been carefully sury
structed at an exceedingly moderate cost, not only without inter-
ference with, but greatly assisting the existing and projected lines
with which it will be connected. .
The usual clause will be inserted to limit the responsibility of the
shareholders to the amount of their respective subscriptions.
In consequence of several influential gentlemen in Stafford and
Uttoxeter having recently been added to the Provisional Committee,
it has been thought proper to extend the time of application for
shares from parties locally interested to the 15th instant, when the
[ list will be finally closed. The Committee beg to intimate that the
number of shares they will be Able to allot to the public will neCes-
' sarily be very limited.
