REAT PROPHECY FULFILLED
FOR THE YEAR 1845.
The whirlwind rushed ; the hailstorm poured ;
The earthquake shook ; the ocean roared.
The lightning flashed, and the thunder rolled,
As Merlin stood, in the days of old,
And thus to King Arthur prophesied,
On the things which to England would betide:—
" When on Britain's throne there sits a Queen.
And London pav'd with wood is seen ;
When the muse her temple lends to aid
The sacred struggle for Free Trade,
On Ludgate's mighty hill shall rise,
To fix a wond'ring nation's eyes,
A firm of Brothers—SAMUEL nam'd---
Who soon through Europe shall be fam'd.
The Trade of the City they'll cease to increase,
And shape the Saxon and British fleece
In Raiment rare at such trifling cost
That men in amazement will be lost!!
AN ORIGINAL PLAN these Brothers will trace
Which enamoured Commerce will swift embrace,
And by means of which the country wide
Shall clothe like nobles in their pride :
let drain no more from their money bags •
Than if they wore the coarsest rags !"
So sole the Prophet, in learning skilled,
And mark how his words have been fulfilled.
°ll Ludga BROTHERS,

The SAMUEL, rear their sign ;
The flag of Economy they've unfurled—
. Their House is the Cheapest in the World!
Far better than others thei- clothe the Peer,
Rut charge not a twentieth part so dear;
The Gentleman, there, with an income low,
Can make a Gentleman's proper show ;
The striving Tradesman on Sunday now
With his well-dress'd neighbour may raise his brow;
rhe sighing Lover can meet his maid,
And not of appearance be afraid.
The Youth of Fashion, the Beau of Taste;
The Man in humble station placid;
The Shopman—Clerk—aiad Liveried Page—

This line of railway will commence near the Syston Station on the
, Midland Counties line, and proceed near the Charnwood Forest, and
no as to take in the collieries of Bagworth, lbstock, Whitwick, and
i's;% Snibston, and proceed to Cole Orton and Ashby-de-la-Zouch, thence
tt,,, near Swadlincote, Galesly Potteries, and the course of the projected
• Burton and Moira Canal to Burton-upon-Trent, whence, crossing the
1:4" • Trent, it will skirt the Needwood Forest near Tatenhill, Hamstall,
1, • Redware, Bsithebury, and Colton, to the proposed junction of the
I North Staffordshire Potteries line with the Trent Valley Railway at
Colwich, about four miles from Stafford.
) A short branch from Burton up the Dove Valley, to join the,.3lac-
-1, elesfleld and Derby line between Burton and Uttoxeter, is contem-
, Vated, and, in the event of a line beiog carried from Manchester to
herby by way of Uttoxeter, the part of this nue between Burton and
•-. Leicester would complete, by its junction with the projected Leicester
•
and Bedford Railway, a direct route from London to Manchester.
As an independent line, looking to its own local traffic as
a source of revenue, it traverses a country of extraordinary
mineral wealth, passing near the most southern coal field
in the kingdom accessible to London, from which is pro-
duced the finest quality of coal. Cannel coal, ironstone,
and pot clay, granite and limestone abound in that portion
of the line which skirts the Charnwood Forest to Ashby, and which
require increased facilities of conveyance ; to these it will afford a
transit as well as a market. Between Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Bur-
ton-upon-Trent are the Great Breedon and Ticknall limeworks, and
the Swadlincote and Griesly Potteries. Also the extensive coal fields
of Ashby, Moira, Newhall, and Swadlincote, abounding in coal of the
hest quality, which, by means of this railroad, will find its way into
the London market, a desideratum of very great advantage, and long
wished to be attained. To Burton it will convey the corn and barley
o Lincoln, Northampton, Norfolk, and the agricultural districts of
the east, as well as afford a ready conveyance to the produce of the
important breweries of Burton.
From Cambridge, Ely, Norwich, Yarmouth, Lynn, Peterborough, and
Lincoln, this will be the shortest route to the Leicestershire, Stafford-
ahiee, and Shropshire iron and coal fields, to the Burton breweries, to
North and South Wales, and Ireland. By means of the short line up
the Dove Valley, and its junction with the proposed North Stafford-
' shire Railway, this will be the most direct communication from the
tzst to the north-western manufacturing districts, and to Birken-
bead by way of Crewe and Chester ; indeed, it may be called the
k 7.-3- or trunk line of the central counties of England.
It is impossible to over-estimate the importance of this railway as
! junction line. It will unite, near the Syston Station with the Mid-
" and Counties and the proposed Cambridge, Peterborough and Melton
It
lines, and the contemplated Bedford and Leicester Railway.
at will also for goods and passengers coming from the eastern coun-
t-lea (the destination of which may be Manchester, Liverpool, North
wales, or the north-west of England generally) avoid the angles and
Circuitous routes necessarily made at present either by going round
by Derby on the one hand or Rugby on the other.
On the west it will join at Colwich the Trent Valley and the pro-
Dosed North Staffordshire Potteries line ; and at Stafford it will unite
'With the lines for Liverpool, Manchester, the Potteries, Chester, Bir-
kenhead, and Holyhead.
The estimated profit from internal resources Is expected to be very
treat.
The town of Burton-on-Trent is a place of more importance as re-
,
?Ws the amount of its traffic than many places of four-fold size. It
u computed that about 50,000/. a year is paid for carriage alone t"
ttid from tha town. Its extensive breweries are chiefly supplied with
arley from the country lying between Boston and Northampton.
e shipping ports for its beer are London and Liverpool, and these
~wits, with Manchester, are the chief markets for its home trade.
eariy two-thirds, therefore, of its whole manufactures, and of the
raw materials it draws from distant parts, would pass in one three-
°ll or another along this line of railway. Throughout the line there
„ :•
4t: a great demand for lime and coal. The Pottery manufactories of
ii:;teCY and Swadlincote would supply a large amount of traffic to the
e as well as the North Staffordshire Potteries to the eastern coon-
.es and ports.
_in the allotment of shares local interests will be first considered.
zio ornamental property appears to intersect the line, and many
Cr the landowners have given it their support.

BANKERS.

This railway will secure the whole traffic from London to Ascot, in
conj unction with the London and Windsor Railway, and open a new
source of revenue to the shareholders in that company. The traffic
of passengers from the metropolis to Ascot during the race week,
from authentic sources, is estimated at 8,000/., in addition to which
an increase may be calculated upon from Winchester, Southampton,
Portsmouth, the Isle of Wight, and places adjacent to Ascot; and
also confer a benefit upon the Shareholders in the South-Western
Railway Company. The Windsor, Ascot, and Farnborough Line
therefore may be described as a junction, which must be productive
of a large revenue to the two lines it will unite; deriving from each
advantages of corresponding value.
Another striking feature of profit and utility embraced in this line
will be, direct communication between London and the Royal Mili-
tary College at Sandhurst ; the number of persons interested in that
great national establishment will thus be provided with rapid and
easy means of transit, while the facility must tend to increase the
traffics considerably beyond tke usual average.

This railway will also complete a direct route io the Isle of Wight,
which is every day increasing in fashionable reFutation, in conse-
quence of the frequent visits of royalty, and her Majesty's selection
of the island for a summer residence, the population of which is
daily augmenting under the influence of these propitious cir-
cumstances.

The facility of conveyance to and from the kennel of the royal
stag-hounds may also be referred to as one of the exclusive advan-
tages of this line.

And in addition to the sources of profit already indicated, consider-
able stress may be laid upon the amount which will be derived from
the supply of coals and conveyance of heavy goods to the towns
through or near to which this line will pass, which are at present,
for the most part, supplied by an expensive land carriage from the
canal at Basingstoke, or the Farnborough station of the South-
Western Railway, or from the river Thames at Windsor or Kingston.
No tunnel or viaduct will be necessary, and the gradients of the
line will be peculiarly easy.
All usual and proper clauses for limiting the liability' of Share-
holders to the amount of their respective Shares, will be provided
tbe by the Bill.

Applications for Shares to be made in the usual form to the Soli-
citor, Mr. G. Smith, 24, Golden-square, where prospectuses, with
plans, may be had.
