The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester R dlway is a direct line from
t", 101/ to Manchester, coining from London to Rugby, along the
London and Birmingham line, and proceeding from Rugby by Hinck-
ley, through Market Bosworth, and Ashby-de-la-Zouch, to Derby,
Thence to Ashbounie and Macclesfield, and along the Macclesfield
and Stockport and Stockport and Manchester Railways, into
Manchester.
Branches to Leake and Buxton are in contemplation.
The principle of this railway is to obtain a direct through line be-
tween some of the most important districts in the kingdom with the
least possible amount of new railway, and consequently the smallest
exPenditure of capital.
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
eOttununication between Manchester and Derby, and will consider-
ably shorten the distance between Manchester and Nottingham and
Manchester 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-
Ileld branch of the North Midland Railway is made.

THE GREAT 'ADVANTAGES
.ar the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway over the other pro-
4tetS into Manchester, among others, are—
First, That there are only seventy-five miles of railway to be
made, in place of one hundred and eighty-nine.
4,Secondly, That it is a more direct line from London to Manchester
"An even the proposed direct lines.
Thirdly, That it interferes with no existing railway property or
Vested interests.
Fourthly, That it passes through a district rich in manufactures,
agriculture, and minerals, but which—more especially as regards its
agricultural produce, and a convenient system of intercommunication
for the conveyance of that agricultural produce, to supply the large
manufacturing towns in the vicinity—has been hitherto left totally
Itithout railway communication.
Fifthly, That it passes through the towns in its route, in place of
avoiding them.
That the whole line of railway from Rugby to Manchester
'l4l be completed and in working order within ten months from the
Passing of the Act of Parliament.
Seventhly, That the maps, plans, estimates, and other documents
laq,„ aired by the standing orders of Parliament, will be lodged with
parliamentary
Parish Clerks, the Clerks of the Peace for the Counties, and the
rarliamentary offices, on the 10th day of. November next, being
tWenty days within the time required by the regulations of Parlia-
ment.
The Report of the Engineer of the Company is already completed,
and will be made public in a few days, upon which a further and full
Prospectus, with the names of the Provisional Directory, will be
