SECRETARY.

This C impany is formed for making a railway from Liverpool to
Derby, and will, in conjunction with the Manchester and Yugby
Direct, and London and Birmingham Railways, form the nearest
route from Liverpool to London. It will commence at Liverpool, and
proceed along the Liverpool and Manchester Railway to within a
short distance of the Whiston Inclined Plane, and thence branch off,
in a south-easterly direction, through Warrington, Knutsford, and
Congleton to Leek (there joining the Manchester and Rugby Rail-
way), and from thence through Ashbourne to Derby. The whole
length of the proposed line will be about sixty-six miles. It will be
seen by reference to the map that this important line of railway will
form the shortest route from Liverpool to London, and effect a direct
chain of communication between Liverpool and Derby, and will
thence, by means of the Midlands and other railways, open an unin-
terrupted route to the more eastern counties, and afford a complete
midland communication between the eastern and western parts of
the kingdom and the important intermediate manufacturing districts.
The most important feature in this railway is that it forms the
shortest road from Liverpool to London. The distance by it, with the
Manchester and Rugby, and London and Birmingham, will be only
ISB miles, Whereas by the present route it is 210 miles, and by the
Trent Valley Railway 2001 miles ; effecting a saving of 22 miles in
one instance, and 121/.2 miles in the other.
And as regards Liverpool and Derby, the whole distance between
Liverpool and Derby will be reduced by this line to about 74 miles,
time decreasing the distance by any present existing railway, at least
4G miles ; an advantlge which carries in itself the conviction of the

necessity there is for the proposed railway, in order to connect more
immediately two such important towns, especially when these towns
are but the foci, as it were, for other railways from still more distant
localities, as before adverted to.
The distance also from Manchester to Leek (where the proposed
railway will unite with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway)
will be about 30 miles, and from Leek to Derby about 26% miles,
making the whole distance from Manchester to Derby only 563
miles ; and thus diminishing the distance by any present communi-
cation between those important towns by about 28 miles, an object
most desirable to be attained, and of itself quite sufficient to recom-
mend a line of railway embracing such beneficial results.
But great as these results most certainly will be, they are far out-
weighed by the very important consideration that, in conjunction
with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway, it will also be the
most direct route from Liverpool to London.
The distance from Liverpool to Leek (the proposed point of Junc-
tion with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) is 47% mike;
from Leek to Rugby, according to the line as proposed by the Man
chester and Rugby Direct Railway, 58 miles, and from Rugby to
London 83 miles; thus making the whole distance from Liverpool to
London 188% miles, instead of 210, by the present route.
With regard to the traffic and other details connected with the
working of the line, it seems only necessary to revert to the great
importance of the towns proposed to be brought into communication
with each other, in order to convince the minds of all that the source
of revenue thus derived will be immense.
There are no engineering difficulties connected with the forming of
the line.
The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share-
holders beyond the deposit now paid until the Act of Parliameat Is
obtained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 4/. per eent2
interest on all calls. -
