This project is intended to fbrm the most direct communication
between the important grazing country of the Lincolnshire 3farehea
and the large manufacturing and consuming districts of the Midland
and Northern Counties; and to establish an immediate connexion
between the East Coast and South Wolds of Lincolnshire, and the
various coal fields in Yorkshire, Derbyshire, and Staffordshire,
thereby facilitating the export of corn, wool, cattle, and other agri-
cultural produce, and the import of ooai, timber, stone, slate, seeds,
oil-citke, and artificial manures. _ . _

By this line (in communication with other railways), Birmingham,
Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield. Wakefield, Nottingham,
Derby, Stafford, the Potteries, and Other important manufacturing
towns, will be placed in direct connexion with Ilamburgh, Rotter-
dam, Antwerp, and the principal seaports of tho north of Europe ;
between which places and Wainfleet the voyage will be several hours
shorter than from either Bull or Grimsby.
There is a good passenger traftle generally throughout the line,
swelled by the large and numerous fairs, held at Lincoln, Horncastle,
Spilsby, Putney, Burgh, and Wainfleet (for horses, cattle, and
sheep), and by the Viidors to Skegness, sue of the principal watering
places on the Lincolnshire coast, the whole of which will be mate.
rially increased by railway accommodation.
The improvement of the extensive harbour of Wainflegt Haven,
and the forming there a perfect shipping station for the manufactur-
ing districts, is onpof the important features in this undertaking.
This haven possesses natural roadsteads of. a superior description.
offering a safe anchorage for shipping of any burthen, in 24 fret 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 frequently resort thither for safety during the prevalence of
northerly gales, an advantage imperfectly possessed by both Hull and
Grimsby; added to which, a great saving *lll be effected in the Cus-
tom, dock, and harbour dues, 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 Sr in contemplation provides accom-
modation for the district of country through which this line wilt
lass. Application has been made to the principal landowners on the
line, and no objection is anticipated.
A portion of the Shares will be reserved for parties locally inter-
rested, and the remainder will be allotted to perscns 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.
Applications for shares, in the subjoined form, may be made to the
solicitors and to the following sharebrokers r. King, 3, Bar-
tholomew-lane, London; Messrs. Parsons and Townley, Liverpool ;
Mr. Newbury, Manchester; Mr. Ironside. Sheffield ; Mr: Pollard,

The object of this undertaking is to effect the most difect 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 Apaction
Lines, between the Potteries, the iron districtg of Staffordshire and
Shroshire, Cheshire, Nrth Wales, Holyhead, Sheffield, the Ports of
Gainsborough, Grimsbyo 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 Mull, 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 considerab/e
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 tile Staffordshire Potteries to Brixton.
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 formed to make a line of railway from Shef-
field to Buxton, and Stoke-upon-Trent to Crewe, and Nortou-bridge, to
join the Grand Junction Railway, with each of which Companies the
Committee are in communication, and arrangements will be made
with them so that the proposed Company will only have to inako
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; ana
the engineering character is such as to justify the promoters in 'de-
claring the proposed capital amply sufficient for its construction. and
for stidh mineral branches as the district may require.
Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at 41_ per cast
per annum upon all deposits and calls until the opening of the line.
The liability of Subscribers will of course be limited by the Act tat
Parliament to the amount of their respective shares.
In the allotment of Shares a preference will be given to parties
locally interested ; and such applicants as have shares in the 3lau-
cheater, Buxton, and Amber Gate, Manchester, Sheffield, and Micl-
land Junction, and Derby and Crewe Companies, are requested to
state that circumstance in their applications, but none can
