RUGBY, DERBY, AND MANCHESTER
RAILWAY.
Provisionally registered pursuant to 7 and 8 Yid. c. 110.
This Railway will commence at the Rugby station of the London
and Birmingham Railway, and will proceed in nearly a straight
line to Derby, using so much of the Leicester and Swannington Rail-
way as lies in its course.
From thence it will proceed to Buxton, there forming a junction
with the Manchester , Buxton, Matlock, and Midland Railway.
The proposed railway will form a direct continuation of the London
and Mirmingbam Railway, to Manchester, and thus supersede the
necessity of any direct Manchester and London Railway, as the dis-
tance to London by this route will be as short as by either of the pro-
posed direct Manchester and Lend, n Railways.
It will also establish the shortest direct communication between
Derby and London, Sheffield and London, and between all the towns
on the North Midland Railway and London.
The Manchester, Derby, and Rugby Railway will open a direct
communication between Manchester and Derby, and will considerably
shorten the distance between Manchester and Nottingham and Man-
chester and Leicester.
The line from Derby to Rugby will establish the direct communi-
cation from that town to London, which has been so long considered
desirable by the inhabitants.
The same will apply to Sheffield, when the Sheffield and Chester-
field branch of the North Midland Railway is made.
The support of the London and Birmingham, the North Midland,
and Manchester and Liverpool Railways, may be expected for
this line.
Communications may be addressed to the Company's Solicitor,

EASTERN UNION RAILWAY.
HARWICH SCRIP.
The Directors of the Eastern Union Railway Company applied to
Parliamyg, under the authority of their Shareholders, given by
unanimous resolution, at a Special Meeting held 12th February last,
for leave
To make a line from the Eastern Ur ion Railway at Manningtree
to Harwich, estimated to cost 150,0001.; and
To raise a stun of 50,0001., for the purpose of laying a double line
of railway from Ipswich to Colchester, and for otherwise
rendering the Easter Union Line more available for the Bury
St. Edmund's, Norwich, Harwich, and other traffic directed
towards it, and for which Scrip was issued.
The latter part only of this resolution has been attained in the pre-
sent session, by a Bill which received the royal assent on Monday,
the 21st instant, and the line will be constructed to accomplish all
the objects the Proprietors have in view.
The Directors still consider the Eastern Union Branch to Harwich,
as proposed, of so much importance to the interests of the Company,

that they have given rders to deposit plans for it next session, at

without using the Eastern Union line, can make one with equally
unobjectionable gradients, cr with less than seventeen miles of new
railway, whilst the Eastern Union will require to construct less than
eleven miles of new railway.
Every means will be taken to meet the views of the Admiralty
before the final deposit of the plans is made. By important improve-
ments in the direction of the line, the Board hope yet materially to
reduce the estimates framed last year for the contemplated branch.
Holders of the Harwich Scrip issued in February, are requested to
return it, addressed
To the SeCretary,
Eastern Union Railway,

14 th, or 121. 10s. of each 501. Share, will be given in a registered

wich Line, on which 1/. 17s. 6d. will remain as a deposit, and be
at the disposal of the Directors for the Branch Line neat year.
This part may be also converted into Eastern Union Shares, when
the Harwich Lino shall have obtained the sanction of Parliament ;
and previous to that Bill passing no new deposit will ba requisite.
