This line of railway, which is about sixty-five miles in length, is
Intended to commence at Uttoxeter (the terminus of the proposed
Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Worcestershire Junction Railway) and
to proceed to Sheffield and Huddersfield. It will form a direct com-
munication between two of the most important manufacturing and
mining districts in England, viz., South Staffordshire, Huddersfield,
and Sheffield, and Rotherham in Yorkshire ; the South Staffordshire
portion including Dudley, Tipton,Walsall, Bilston, Wedttesbury, and
Wolverhampton.
This line will also open a direct railway communication between

feeds, Huddersfield, and the West Riding of Yorkshire and Kidder-

minster, Worcestershire, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, Taunton,
and Exeter, and with Ludlow, Leominster, Hereford, Brecon. Car-
diff, Neath, Swansea, Llanelly, Caermarthen, Milford Haven, Fish-
guard, Aberystwith, and with Porthdynliaen, the future outport for
Ireland. And also the most direct communication between Leeds
and Southampton.
The line will pass nearly along the Uttoxeter and Caldon Canal to a
point near Vreativood, in case the canal he purchased by the pro-
moters of this undertaking. It will proceed throughrEllaston and
Mayfield to Ashbourne. thence near Dovedale, Buxton, and Chapel-
en-la-Fritb, Woodhead and Holmfirth to Huddersfield, where it will
join the Uttfidorsfleld and Leeds Railway, and so to Thirsk. It will
open new mines, in addition to those already in work, of lead, coal,
iron tn'e, barytes, and carboniferous and magnesian limestone on the
route, in addition to forming a direct, speedy, and cheap communica-
tion between the important towns above mentioned.
Arrangements have been made with other companies to run into
this line from Sheffield. This company reserves the right to raise
additional capital to extend the line to Leeds.
Many of the above-mentioned mineral productions are essential to
the mining &Arida Of South Staffordshire and Sheffield. The North
Staffordshire and Derbyeltire Limestone is much superior to that of
South Staffordshire in the fluxion of iron (15 cwt. of the former being
equal to a ton of the latter), and producing a better quality of ma-
terial. At Meant, the mode of transit is very circuitous and expen-
sive, the line t'fchtt the Caldon Mines having to go by canal round
by Etruria, Leek, and tile Potteries, to the Dudley and surrounding
furnaces, when, by this railtray, it would be taken in a straight line
to theta 1 and the Ashbourne, Croinford, Worksworth, and Bakewell
country would have an entirely new trade opened to them. The iron-
stone in the neighbottrhOod of Sheffiel,.l is also becoming very scarce,
and gfaat qnantities are introduced from SO. Viand; the same scarcity
exists in South I.4.taffordshire ; and the route ix' this line would fur-
nish a cheap and good supply, at present not worked, and without a
market, both north and south. In addition to these gr,.lt advan-
tages, a good local market would be opened along the agricii2Nral
and other parts of the district at present very badly supplied wish

lime and anal, and that of an inferior quality, and by expensive car-
riage: It is, thercfbre, next to impossible to calculate the immemze
trlffie which would pour down this line and the Derbyshire, Stafford-
shire, g,d Worcestershire Junction Railway.
The calculations which have been made show a very large profit.

There are large lead and slate quarries on the line which only want
an outlet like the one now contemplated to bring them into full work.
The coal is of a superior quality.
There are also extensive barytes and paint-works at Ashbourne,
Cromford, and other places on the line. The scenery of Derbyshire
Is the resort of vast numbers of tourists ; and particular care will be
taken, in passing of the line near Dovedale, not to interfere with or
change its beautiful and romantic character. The convenience,
therefore, which this line will afford must necessarily cause a great
index of passengers, both on business and pleasure.
Ironstone is not so abundant in the South as in North Staffordshire,
and vast quantities are sent by the tardy, circuitous, and expensive
canal company, which this and other lines of railway meeting at
Uttoxeter will remedy.
The gypsum formation runs from Staffordshire to the Humber, and
the demand for this article for building, agricultural, and manufac-
turing purposes along this line will be great.
The timber from the neighbourhood of the Needwood Forest
Banks, Bagots Woods, and Kingston Woods, upwards of 4,000
acres, chiefly finds its way to the Manchester market by a
like objectionable route of tardy and circuitous canal convey-
ance ; whereas this line would open a direct, easy, and cheap
communication to new markets. The line has been viewed prior to
a detailed, survey, awl gore are not more than ordinary eneering
