Assuming the northern terminus of the Erewash Railway
as its origin, this line will pass through localities totally un-
provided with railway accommodation, into the populous ma-
nufacturing districts of Lancashire. It will continuo the
important line from which it borrows the prefix of its name,
from Alfreton, in Derbyshire, where it will be. a recipient of
traffic from the Cromford Canal—communicating with the Codnor
ironworks—along the Dinting Vale, and, obeying the course of the
river Derwent, enter Yorkshire, in the vicinity ofSaddleworth. In
its course, it will pass through or near to Matlock, Ashbourne, Glos-
sop, Mottram, Hytletd, and Duckenfleld, in reaching which point, the
Manchester and Sheffield Railway will be intersected, and the Hud-
dersfield Canal Railway passed, near to the Rochdale station of the
Manchester and Leeds Railway.
It is unnecessary to state here the character of the country from
Rochdale to Blackburn : it will be sufficient to observe, that it is the
scat of those manufactures to which England owes her accumulating
wealth. The line will proceed thence through or near to Whitworth
and Rossendale, and fall into the East Lancashire Railway, in the
vicinity of II aslingden.
A branch will be thrown out of the trunk line, from the Junction
with the East Lancashire line near Haslingden, by Low-Moor iron-
works and Beene, to Tochnorden.
The Erewash Extension will be the only direct route from the
centre of Derbyshire to the great manufacturing towns and chief
seaports of Lancashire. It will traverse a valley district adorned
with the most picturesque scenery,• and, at the same time, rich is
mineral produce: - It will communicate, laterally, with several trunk
line of railway; and w.ll be fed by no less than five working canals—
e Cromford—the Manchester and Sirzfil4d—the Huddersfield—the
Manchester and Leeds-,—and the Liverpool and Blackburn.
To the multiplication of advantages which intersecting railwlys
and lines of still-water navigation are compelled to afford, the I brow -
ing out of branches from the line itself in so many directions wad add
still further powers of accommodation, and, when the dense popula-
tion in the localitie I traversed is considered, there is every - ens in to
conclude that an ample remuneration for vested capital Rill b 3 ob-
tained. . .
of acra, wb.:o, la WI

with the exact direction of the projected line, highly favourable gra-
dients are obtained for a considerable pa' t of the length ; and every
()tiler section of the country, upon a preliminary survey, has been
repilrted as more than commonly practicable. While the return for
capital cannot be questioned, and the necessities of the district de-
mand accommodation, the expenditure must necessarily fall below
the usual amount for works of equal magnitude.
To identify this project with that of the Erewash Valley, although
not included under, or belonging to the same executive, it is pro-
posed to allow subscribers in that Company shares in the Erewash
Extension : the number to be regulated by the interest retained in
the elder project.
The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the Share-
holders beyond the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament is
obtained; and power will be taken in the Act to allow 4 per tent. in-
terest upon all calls.

PROSPECTUS.
This line will pass in a direct course from Tunbridge, via Paddock
Wood (thus connecting itself with Maidstone) through the parishes
of Breachley, Hersmonden, Cloudburst, Cranbrook, Benenden,
Hawkhurst, Sandhurst, Rolvenden, Newende.i, Northiam, Peas-
marsh, Beckley, Idea, and Playden, to the town and harbour of
Rye, and it will embrace a large extent of adjacent country, at pre-
sent unprovided with, and much requiring, the admitted advantages
of railway transit.
The length of the line will be about 25 miles—a great portion of it
will pass through a level country, and the remaining part is free from
any material engineering difficulty, or works likely to require any
serious outlay, and it is not expected to be necessary to interfere with
any residences or ornamental property.
The saving of distance to Rye, and all the other places embraced
by this line, will be considerable.
The capital required is estimated not to exceed 500,000/.
During the last session of Parliament application was made for a
similar lice, partially embracing the same country, when it was
shown in detail by evidence produced before the Committee, that the
contemplated traffic, after deducting 40/. per cent. for working ex-
penses, would leave a large per centage upon the invested capital.
That line was rejected on the ground that the best direction had not
been selected, but with an intimation that the port of Rye was en-
titled to a direct railway communication with the interior of the
country, in the best direction towards London. The present scheme
has been based upon this intimation, taking advantage of the merits
and defects which appeared upon that investigation, and as it em-
braces a more populous and productive country, and passes in a more
direct line to London, and will have the benefit of better access to
other and snore numerous lines, the sources of traffic are consider-
ably increased, and there is every reason to believe, from what passed
during the last session, that the present plan will be favourably enter-
tained by the Legislature.
Tile chief object is to open the port of Rye to the nal benefit of a
railway communication, through a populous and productive district,
in time direction of London, to the best point at which it can avail itself
of the existing and contemplated lines.
The imports of Rye, particularly coals, with lime and other ma-
nures, are of great importance to the country through which this bile
will pass, and a cheaper and better mode of transit will much increase
the demand for them, and give the opportunity of great improvement
in the cultivation of the adjacent country.
A railway through the heart of the chief hop district of the king-
dom, also producing corn, timber, and hop poles, and communicating
at its terminus wills a great part of the important cattle district o:
Romney Marsh, must be a public advantage.
The port of Rye is admitted to be the best outlet and quickest route
to Paris and to other parts of the Continent, and there can be no doubt
if a direct railway should be made to Rye, with a moderate improve-
ment in the harbour, that it would be much adopted, particularly as
a national and commercial communication with France, and by per-
sons travelling on business.

PROSPECTUS.

Commencing at Cambridge, which has now become the traffic-
centre of the Eastern Counties, by the line of railway intended to be
formed by that Company, this line will proceed to Bedford, there
passing near Olney It will cross at or near the Blisworth Station of the
London and Birming,ham Railway, where it will communicate with
the Northampton and Peterborough line; it will then proceed west-
ward. crossing fhe Oxford and Rugby line at or near Fenny-Compton
to Stratford-on-Avon, there joining the proposed lino from Warwick
and Leamington to Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the West of
England ; continuing its course through Alcester, the line will go di-
rect to Worcester, and thus terminate at the great centre of traffic
for the mineral and manufactsring distrietS of South Staffordshire,
Shropshire, and North and South Wales. This proposed lino d•rs
not interfere with any existing railways, and presenting, as it does,
an unbroken him between two great centres of traffic, the hnportance
of the undertaking needs no further comment.
• Negotiations have .been entered Into with the Eastern Coun-
ties Railway Company, by which their support and co-operation will
be ensured for obtaining the line now proposed.
An arrangement has also been made with the proposed Rugby,
Warwick, and Worcester Company, which this line will join •at Al-
cester, and by means of which the Eastern Counties'-traffic will pro-
ceed to-Worcester. .

Power will be reserved to the Directors to amalgamate with any
other existing or. projecting Companies, or to vary the line.

This undertaking is projected by influential local interests to supply
the re irements of the above important district; and a reference to
maprho lt
will show that it will also complete the communication be-
tween York, Leeds, and the intermediate towns in the most direct
course with London. The surveys have been made by Sir John Mac-
neill and James Thompson, Esq.. and the country is found to be fa-
vourable to the construction of a railway ; and there is, perhaps, no
line of such importance which could be constructed at consparatively
so small an expanse as the sum named in the estimate.
The length of the line will be but about thirty-nbie miles ; and by
means of this short link, in connexion with existing projects from
Nottingham, a saving will be effected between Leeds and the metro-
polis exceeding twenty-five miles.
It will commence at the projected terminne of the Wakefield, Pon-
tefract, and Goole Railway, at Pontefract, and from thence. proceed
through Doncaster, Tickhill, and Worksop, to the terminus of the
-Nottingham, Mansfield, and Midland Comities Railway, at Mansfield ;
