The proposed railway is intended to commence on the Trent

. .
(alley Railway near Stafforl, and proceeding* thence in au easterly
iirection, to pass through, or near to, Tixall, Haywood, Colwich, and
4.bbo,.t's Bromley, to the rapidly-increasing town of Burton-upon-
Trent, where it will run into the Birmingham and Derby Railway,
fanning the shortest and best practicable route from • Stafford to
Derby. Leaving the Birmingham and Derby Railway at Burton-
upon-Trent, it will proceed along the valley of the Trent by Repton,
Swarkestonc; and Shardlow, to the Midland Counties 'Railway at the-
point where that railway forms a junction with the Derby and Not-
tingham Railway ; and thus, by means of these and other railweys

• in progress, forma cOmplete lino of railway communication between
the central towns of Stafford, Derby, Nottingham, Lincoln, Leices-
-te,r., Peterborough, and Boston, on the eaAt, and Shrewsbury, Cites-
ter, and llcilyitead, North Wales, and Ireland, on the west.

This railway will, therefore, form the only connecting link re-
quired in the great chain of railway communicatfou from east and
west through the heart of the kingdwri, uniting the shores of the
German Ocean on the cast with those of the Irish Sea or the west, and
traversing in its course the rich agricultural districts of the eastern.
midland, and western counties, an? accommodating the important, arid
populous manufacturing towns of Stafford, Derby, Nottingham, Lei-
cester,. and Shrewsbury. But another most Important advantage
that will result .from the formation of this line will consist in the
inct of its affording, in connexion with the proposed South Union, or
Manchester and Potteries Railway, by far the shortest and best
route between Derby, Nottingham, Newark, Lincoln, Peterhorcanh,
Leicester, and Loughborough, and the extensive and populous dis-
tricts of the Staffordshire Potteries, Macclesfield, Stockport, and
Manchester. By the proposed line the distance between Nottingham
and Derby and Manchester will be at least from 16 to 20 miles lose
th:at by the present circuitous route bySheffield.

The traffic on this line must necessarily be equal, If not superior,
to that of any line in the district.

Ths length of the line will be about 33 miles, through a country
presenting no difficulties of mere than an ordinary kind for its con-
struction.

The capital proposed to be raised is 600,0007., in shares of 20/.
each, upon which a deposit of 21: 2s. per share must be paid upon the
alionneht. No call will be made until the Act is obtained, and no
subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of his deposit until the
Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription;
and the usual power will be taken to allow interest at four per cent.
from the time of payment upon each call until the opening of the
line.

The Subscribers' Agreement and the Parliamentary Contract must
be executed when the hankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip cer-
tificates, of which 14 days' notice will be given ; and the deposits
paid by any party making default in the execution of those deeds will
be forfeited.
