That another and a more direct line of railway is necessary between
e metropolis and the manufacturing districts around Manchester, is
now thlly admitted, and the question is, which is the best line to be
adopted ?
The above proposed railway will form the shortest and most di-
rect route from London to Manchester, and will therefore complete
the direct communication with the metropolis at a much less expen-
diture of capital than by either of the projected London and Man-
chester lines (Remington's and Ashurst's), the actual distance to be
constructed being only 73, instead of 170 to 180 miles.
A careful preliminary survey has determined the promoters of this
railway to adopt nearly a straight line from Rugby to 31acclesfleld, as
an increased expenditure of 200,0001. or 300,0001. judiciously applied in
the presentperfected state of civil engineering, and at the reduced cost
of the execution of earth works, will prove in the end a far greater
real economy, both to the Company itself in the saving effected in
the annual expense of working, and also, what is of snore importance,
to the country in general, by accomplishing, at a much less cost, the
same end proposed by an entire and distinct line from London to
Manchester.
These considerations have not been sufficiently kept in view by
ether parties who have also proposed to make a railway from Rugby
to Macclesfield, but who, by deviating from the direct tract to pursue
valleys and to avoid the irregularities of the face of the country,
obviously lose the advantages proposed by this Company.
The Parliamentary decision on the choice of the London and Brighton
Railway is a parallel case, the direct line, although presenting more
difficulties to overcome, and involving a greater outlay, having been
adopted by Parliament in preference to the many competing projects,
in a more or less sinuous direction, which were at that time supported
in the House by very influential parties.
Should it be found necessary, arrangements have been made by
which additional lines of rails will be laid between Rugby and Lon-
don on the London and Birmingham Railway, whereby the surplus
traffic northwards will be abundantly provided for.
This line also possesses the singular advantage of affording the
shortest and most direct route from Manchester to Southampton,
Gosport, and Portsmouth, a feature presented by no other proposed
railway. By adopting the Rugby and Oxford branch of the Great
Western as far as Didcot, and thence the proposed Oxford, Southamp-
ton, Gosport, and Portsmouth line, the distance from Manchester to
Southampton will be twenty-three miles less than by any other route,
and on this account the project has been warmly supported by the
Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth Railway Company.
The deviations from a perfectly straight line between Rugby and
Macclesfield to avoid high ranges of hills, ornamental parks, or
valuable buildings are very slight, and the line In general offers no
engineering difficulties of any magnitude. The towns more directly
interested as a local line are Nuneaton, Hinckley, Atherstone, Market
Bosworth, Burton-upon-Trent, Tutbury, Ashbourne, and Leek.
The Company has made arrangements with the North London
Junction Railway Company, whereby it has secured the use of their
station (of the extent of six acres) in the centre of the City of London
at the bottom of Moorgate-street, which will prove of the utmost
importance to this line

Amidst the many railway projects that now occupy the public
mind, and involve a vast outlay of capital, it will readily be conceded
that a line that will attain such important results at so small an
outlay of capital, and the time required for its construction, and
without interfering with any existing vested interests, must meet
with general approbation, and at the same time offer a very excellent
investment for capital.
_ _

The shareholders in the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Ports-
mouth, in the London and Birmingham, and In the Manchester and
Birmingham Railways, will have a preference in the allotment of
the shares.

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 41. per cent.
interest in all calls.

Application for detailed prospectus, maps, and shares, may he

The Managing-Committee of the Leicester and Tamworth Junction
Railway Company have determined upon making an extension from
their line, commencing at or near Market Bosworth or Twycross, and
running from thence by or near Atherstone and the Whitacre Junc-
tion of the Midlands (late Birmingham and Derby) Railway to Bir-
mingham. In the allotment of shares, due regard will be had to the
interests of the scrip holders in the Leicester and Tamworth Junction
Railway Company. The surveys are in progress, and the line is re-
ported as easy of construction, and free from engineering difficulties.
The twofold advantages offered by this project give it a manifest
superiority over every other scheme which has yet been devised for
traversing this rich and extensive, but hitherto unintersected portion
of tile Midland Counties. The Leicester and Tamworth Junction, as
originally projected, brings, by means of the Trent Valley Railway,
the important manufacturing town of Leicester and the Midland and
Eastern Counties into immediate communication with the mining
districts and wool markets of Staffordshire and Shropshire, the great
towns of Liverpool and Manchester, and the intervening localities ;
whilst the projected extension affords the shortest practicable railway
route from Leicester to Birmingham, and the western and south-
western counties of England. The saving in distance between Lei-
cester and Birmingham will be seen by the following scale :
By Rugby By Tamworth Saving
Leicester to Liverpool ... • 147 ••.•• . • • • 117 ••••. • • 30
Leicester to Manchester .... 134 ... 104 ........ 30
Leicester to Birmingham ... • 49 35 •• • • 14
The construction of the Birmingham extension in conjunction with
the Leicester and Tamworth Railway gives this project an evident
advantage in point of expense over any independent line from Lei-
cester to Birmingham ; and, taking the inequalities of the country
into consideration, a more direct line does not appear desirable or
practicable, and the saving which which will be effected of more than
half the expense which must attach to the construction of an inde-
pendent line from Leicester to Birmingham is a most important
consideration.
Application for Shares may be addressed to the Secretary at the
Company's offices, 4, Coleman-street, London ; to the solicitors ; to
Messrs. Aston and Scott, Throgmorttin-street, and to Messrs. Oswin
and Co., Angel-court, London.

The object of this railway is to connect, in the most direct course,
the important and increasing manufacturing town of Leeds with the
Metropolis, the want of which has long been felt, and is too univer-
sally acknowledged to need any comment, and it is under this con-
viction that this important undertaking, after several minute exa-
minations of the country through which it will pass, has bees brought
forward.

The proposed line will commence at the junction of the Manches-
ter and Leeds, and York and North Midland Railways, near Wake-
field, and will terminate by means of a junction with the Eastern
Counties Railway at Bedford (to which place it is the intention of
that Company to extend their line in the ensuing session of Parlia-
ment), and by thus availing itself as far as possible of the existing
railways, will complete the most direct and least expensive trunk
line, from London to Leeds, York, and Hull. It will pass in its route
within an available distance of Wakefield, Pontefract, Doncaster,
Rotherham, East Redford, Nottingham, Newark, Grantham, Melton
Mowbray, Oakham, and Stamford.
The importance of such a line is o►vious, both from the nature of
its course (embracing, as it does, a most extensive population within
its limits) as also from the absence of any direct communication for
the conveyance of passengers and merchandise.
By the construction of this railway, railway communication to
London will be given to Peterborough and Leicester (by means of
the Syston and Peterborough Railway), to Newark and Nottingham
(by the Nottingham and Lincoln line), and to Sheffield and Galnsbo-
rough (by the Sheffield and Gainsborough line), by a much shorter
route than by any existing Railways.
Independently of the advantages offered to the towns in the several
counties through which this Line will pass, the Line in itself consi-
dered as a direct trunk line between London and Leeds, is sufficient
to justify its formation, it being well known that the existing traffic
between these two places would produce such a return on the capital
required, as to admit of a dividend, equal to that of any railway in
operation : but when it is borne in mind, that a Company is being
funned for the purpose of connecting Glasgow with Leeds by means of
a junction with the York and Carlisle Railway, no better line can be
presented to the public, as it will not only effect a direct communica-
tion from Glasgow and the Western parts of Scotland to London, but
would also connect Edinburgh and the Eastern parts of Scotland as
well as Durham flint Newcastle (by the York and North Midland, and
Great North of England Railways), with the Metropolis, which would
be considerably shorter than the accommodation offered by any
other Company, and when cost of construction is considered, there
cannot be a doubt but that preference would be given to the Great
Leeds and London Direct Railway.

The geographical position of Worcester has Catigai Its adoption as
the point where. the broad gauge trunk:lines of the west are to have a
Common terminus. From Oxford the Great Western Company have
decided on constructing a line of rail :—another project under the pa-
tronage of the same powerful direction is now before the public,
uniting Worcester with Warwick ; and, that the broad gauge will be
carried from Worcester Into Wales, and to the Irish packet stations
on that coast, is now no longer doubtful. This undertaking will com-
plete a series of great avenues of iron-road, whose ramification
from Worcester will render every part of the kingdom directly
accessible from that city. Passing up the Severn Vale, where
it will disclose a succession of picturesque scenes, It reaches
StoUrport, and proceeding thence through Kidderminster, arrives at
BelvdleY• This district is one of the chief seats of our carpet manu-
factures, and in the towns here named, exclusive of the intervening
districts, upwards of 30,000 persons are located. Leaving Stourbridge
a little to the east, the line is taken to Bridgenorth, a town enjoying
an active inland trade, and possessing woollen manufactures and iron
works, that give employment to a population of about 15,000. Pass-
ing through or near to Much Wealock, Broseley, sued Madeley, from
which place there will be a brarich to Shrewsbury, the line ascends

Through the southern portion of the line, the physical features are
gentle elevations, almost parallel to the principal range of moun-
tains which run east and west, nearly the length of the island ; the
eastern portion, from Port Morant to Plantain Garden. Is almost
level ; while the northern runs through an exceedingly rich country,
rising into hills separate from each other by spacious vales. The
whole of the country traversed by the line abounds in the staple ar-
ticles of sugar, coffee, rum, molasses, ginger, pimento, and other
spices, dye wood, drugs, &c. ; and as more than one-third of the
land is still uncultivated, the production of these articles will, by
the increased facility for traffic, be greatly increased ; and cotton,
indigo, cecea, &c., and dry stuffs, at present unimported, will again
be brought into extensive cultivation. Timber of great variety
abounds along the line ; besides the pimento tree, which flourishes

load ore is extremely rich and heavily impregnated with silver;
whilst every variety of copper ore is found in abundance. Carbonate
of lime, valuable as manure, &e., of which Long Mountain is com-
posed, will form a considerable item in the tables of traffic.
The peculiarly favourable circumstances attending the construction
of this Railway render it highly probable that a considerable portion
of the capital demanded will not be required, as every material•
necessary for Its formation is to be found on the line, and should the
atmospheric principle of propulsion be adopted, the necessity for cut-
tings and embankments will be generally superseded.
A gratuitous grant of the unappropriated land required for the line,
and the free use of all the timber, stone, Sec., necessary for its con-
struction, will, it is expected, be ceded by the Legislative Assembly;
