FURTHER EXTENSION.
The Directors of this Railway beg to announce that in addition to
the proposed junction with the Great Grimsby and Sheffield Railway
already advertised, they have determined, in accordance with the
directions of Parliament, to apply, in the next session, for powers to
construct a branch from their main line at Pontefract, to join the
York and North Midland and Midland Railways, near Altofts, or
Methley, to as to give the shortest and most direct line of Rail-
way from Goole and Pontefract to Leeds, as well as Wake-
field, and the whole of the West Riding, and also to continue such
branch in a southerly direction from their main line, at or near Pon-
ten act, to join the main trunk of the London and York Railway near
Askern, and thus form the shortest line of communication from
Leeds to London, as well as the ports of Grimsby, Gainsborough, and
Boston, and the whole of the eastern counties of England.
The intended Branch will pass through the extensive and valuable
Lime-fields of Womeraley, and has the cordial support of the land-
owners and locally interested parties.

The promoters of this Railway, encouraged by the favourable sup-
port which has been given to the project, and in compliance with
various recommendations they have received, have determined upon
the addition of a branch to Birkenhead, which, although it will
manifestly tend to the advantage of the Shareholders and the public,
will be attended with comparatively little additional outlay. The
project will still retain its chief characteristic of a direct railway,
and by its connexion, near Warrington, with the Grand Junction
Company, is sufficiently comprehensive, without resorting to a com-
plicated system of branch lines, or materially conflicting with the in-
terests of existing companies.
The line will commence at the city of Chester, and proceed by way
of Trafford, Frodsham, and Preston Brook, to Warrington, thence
by Lymm and Stretford direct to Manchester. From a point on the
main line, near Frodsham, a branch will be taken to join the Chester
and Birkenhead Railway, so as to unite Manchester in the most
direct manner possible, with the docks now being formed at Bir-
kenhead.
As Manchester, from its geographical position, is the centre of rail-
way communication between Scotland and the most populous dis-
tricts of England, so Chester, from a like cause, is the great centre of
railway communication between the capitals of Ireland and of Eng-
land. To connect these two points by a direct and independent line
of railway must, therefore, be of the utmost importance, not only in
a local point of view, but to the whole commercial intercourse of the
country.
This line will be the most direct route, by Holyhead, to Ireland,
and will be, in all respects, by far the preferable channel of inter-
course and transit between Ireland and the great manufacturing dis-
tricts of England. By the railways connecting Chester with Wrex-
ham, Oswestry, Shrewsbury, Hereford, Gloucester, and South Wales,
this will be the nearest route from Manchester to the south-
westerp parts of England, and to the minerals of Monmouth and
Glamorganshire The communication with Bristol, Gloucester, and
Exeter will be speedy and direct. On reference to the map, it will
be seen that a very considerable distance will be saved by this line,
as compared with the present circuitous routes by Cr( we and by
Birkenhead; the foriner being 52 miles, and the latter 46 miles,
while the proposed line is only 34 miles, saving in the one case 18
miles, and in the other 12 miles, besides the serious inconvenience, loss
of time, and expense of passing through Liverpool, and crossing the
water at that place.
It is confidently expected that this line will be the precursor of
another scheme, of no ordinary importance—namely, to render
Chester an efficient port for large vessels.
This subject was entertained by Sir John Rennie in 1835, and sub-
sequently, in the same year, by the late Mr. Chapman, who wrote an
able report upon the capabilities of the river Dee. It was again
investigated, in 1837, by Sir John Rennie and Mr. George Remington,
and the practicability of forming a good navigable channel for vessels
of large burden, together with docks at Chester, was then (WIT and
clearly established.
The entrance channel would commence at Dawpool. which is easy
of access (and infinitely preferab'e, in point of access and safety, to
the docks at Liverpool or Birkenhead), for vessels of large burden,
during eight hours every tide, both at springs and neaps; and the
sill of the lock would be sufficiently low to admit vessels drawing 20
feet water to enter at all tides.
This railway, therefore, in connexion with the proposed docks,
been dues,
thoughteand
will render to Chester and Manchester incalculable advantages. To
the former It will restore the proper position natural to so important
a city ; to the latter it will give another outlet, by sea, to the

stil:bejaevcyt.
Merits of no ordinary degree, therefore, May fairly be claimed for
this railway, whether taken in connexion with the proposed docks,
or as standing alone, combining as it does all the advantages of any
other lines, with this great addition, that it will he the high road to
the most convenient outport of Manchester, and will be quite inde-
pendent of any associations or influences that might tend to oppose
the growing desire for a moans of direct and independent communi-
cation between Manchester and the port of Chester.
The line has been careflilly examined. There are no difficult
earth-works to be encountered ; on the contrary it will be cheap,
and of easy formation. Power is reserved to the Committee to de-
viate from the proposed line in the vicinity of Manchester, should
ulterior arrangements render it expedient.

This line will commence at the terminus of the Manchester and
Birmingham Railway at Macclesfield, and passing by the Rudyard
reservoir to Leek, will proceed by the Churnet Valley to Consall,
thence close to Cheadle, and Tean, and by Uttoxeter, Bagots Woods
and Abbots Bromley down the Blythe, to a point on the Trent Valley
Railway, near Lichfield, communicating there with one of the pro-
posed lines from Dudley and Walsall.
A glance at the map will show that this will be the most direct
line for the London and Manchester traffic; uniting those two great
termini by the shortest practicable route in connexion with existing
railways. It will also completely accommodate the local traffic and
manufactures, and open several extensive coal fields and some thou-
sand acres of wood land for the supply of Manchester, the Potteries,
and other great marts of the kingdom. Together, too, with the pro-
posed line from Derby to Crewe, it will afford a transit from the
Eastern Counties and Derby to Manchester, and give every accom-
modation to the Potteries.
This line is, in its principal features, much the same asthat already
approved of by the Board of Trade, and partially abandoned by the
Churnet Valley Company—will be scarcely 47 miles in length, and
passing through the centre of the district, does not interfere with the
Grand Junction, or any other existing railway. It is material to re-
mark, that it is even more direct than the Churnet Valley as formerly
projected to Tamworth, and is free from the formidable opposition of
the landed interest, and the engineering difficulties consequent on the
route by Rocester and Marchington. It must be observed also that
it is the only railway which has been brought forward by, and is
under the control of, the landowners and manufacturers of the Churnet
and Blythe Valley districts.
The co-operation of most of the principal landowners, from near
Uttoxeter to near Lichfield, having been obtained, and there being
no competing lines projected through that district, this portion of the
line may be considered as secure.

Canterbury, and Dover. The surveys have been for some weeks in
progress, and the whole scheme will be very shortly in a complete
state. JOHN KIRKLAND, Chairman.

The line of Railway proposed between Uttoxeter and Dudley has
been undertaken at the suggestion of several influential parties, as
combining (without being a competing line with any railway at pre-
sent made) all the advantages of several projected lines, with addi-
tions of no ordinary value. The town of Uttoxeter, in the Dove Val-
ley, is itself the centre of a rich agricultural district, supplying al-
ready the markets of Dudley, Tipton, Walsall, Bilston, and Wednes-
bury, with cheese, cattle, and agricultural produce, but by a very
expensive and dilatory mode of transit. All the proposed lines
communicating with Manchester, London, and the Potteries,
must necessarily pass to or near Uttoxeter. Already the Chur-
net Valley, Derby and Stafford, Derby and Crewe, Team
and Dove Valley, North Staffordshire, Manchester Direct Inde-
pendent, Leicester and Ashby lines of railway, project a station at
Uttoxeter. Assuming either of these former, or some equivalent, t•
pass this will be the best route from Manchester, Macclesfield, the
Potteries, Hull, Sheffield, and the north to the mineral districts of
South Staffordshire, and to Kidderminster, Worcester, and South
Wales. By the Leicester and Ashby line, which will communicate
by its branch to Uttoxeter, traffic of great part of the east of
England will be available for Staffordshire and the west.
Commencing at Uttoxeter, the line will be carried over
favourable ground to Abbott's Bromley, thence to Rugeley, where
it will fall into the Trent Valley Railway Station, by Channock
Chase, along the Rising Brok Valley, to Hednesford, and thence by
Walsall across the Grand Junction Railway, through Wednesbury
and the mineral districts of South Staffordshire to Dudley ; there it
will join all those railways that will connect the Staffordshire coal-
field with Worcester, Ludlow, and Porthdynllaen on the south-west,
Aberystwith, Merthyr Tydvil, Swansea, Hereford, on the west and
south. In fact, it will unite by the nearest route the east and west
of England.
The line will fall into and cross the Trent Valley, Midlands, and
Grand Junction Railway at Walsall, and from Cannock afford direct
communication with Wolverhampton (where it will run into the
broad gauge railway) from Leeds, and Huddersfield, and the north
and east of England.
The population on the line exceeds 300,000, and the ordinary traffic
arising from internal sources alone is sufficient to maintain the rail-
way, and afford more than ample remuneration to the shareholders.
As a junction line (with the present immensely increasing public
favour to railway travelling) it is scarcely possible to compute the
amount of passenger traffic, but it must necessarily be very great.

crease of passengers, attracted by ready means of conveyance to the
romantic country of Dovedale, and the High Peak, will be necessarily
very great.
The copper, ore, lime, and coal, abounding in the Caldon and the
Ribden mines, will be transmitted by this line to the manufacturing
districts of Staffordshire, Warwickshire, and South Wales, and it will
afford a direct communication between Leeds, Huddersfield, and
Southampton, and it will also be the nearest route to Southampton
from 'Manchester, via Uttoxter, by the London and Manchester
Direct Independent Line, or whatever railway should ultimately
pass between Manchester and London, as forming the shortest route
to the metropolis, a line which, it is now admitted on all hands, must
be carried.
This Company reserves the right to raise additional capital to com-
plete the line from Dudley to or near the Droitwich station, on the
Birmingham and Gloucester Railway.

made to it from the manufacturing districts, and from the north of
England and Scotland.
The passing of the Oxford and Rugby, and Oxford, Worcester, and
Wolverhampton Acts this session, has afforded the facilities of effect-
ing the communication at very little cost.
By making the railway now proposed to be constructed by this
Company, from Didcot, on the Great Western Railway, where
the Oxford Line terminates, through Newbury, to the Southamp-
ton and Gosport Railway, near to the Winehfield station, a distance
of only thirty miles, the most direct and the shortest commu-
nication will be formed from Southampton, by the Oxford and Rugby
Railway to Rugby, and thence by the Midland to York and Scotland ;
and also from Rugby by the Trent Valley Railway to Manchester,
and by the Oxford and Birmingham Line to Birmingham and Liver-
pool, and by the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, to Chelten-
ham, Worcester. Wolverhampton, North Wales, and Birkenhead.
An examination of the map will show that it is only necessary to
make this very short line to effect a direct railway communication
from Scotland, York, Liverpool, Manchester, and Birmingham, to
Southampton, Gosport, Portsmouth, and the Isle of Wight.
The evidence lately given before Parliament proves the very large
trade that there now is from Southampton. All the steamers from
England to Jersey and the Channel Islands, to Portugal, Gibraltar,
the Mediterranean, Malta, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, and the
East Indies, depart from and arrive at Southampton. Also, it is the
most direct and shortest course to Paris, through Havre. Large
quantities of fruit, from Greece, Turkey, the Azore Islands, Portugal,
the East and West Indies and Mexico, are brought to Southampton,
which would be carried into the centre of England by this railway,
and also the fish from Devonshire and Cornwall, all of which would,
by this railway, have a quick and easy transit to Oxford, Birming-
ham, and the manufacturing districts.
The local traffic now existing from these districts, and Birming-
ham, Worcester, Cheltenham, and Oxford to Southampton, Ports-
mouth, and the Isle of Wight, is very great, and is daily increasing.

CHESTER and MANCHESTER DIRECT
RAILWAY.
At a meeting of the Committee of Management of this under-
taking, held this day, it was resolved that, in order to comply with
the standing orders of the House of Lords, as recently altered, it is
expedient to reduce the amount of each share to 201., and to extend
the number to 50,000, and that the deposit required be 21. 28. on each
share, and that, in consequence of this alteration in the amount and
number of shares and the deposit required, the period within which
shares must be applied for be extended to the 28th instant for the
London applications, and to the 30th instant for country applications.

ways ; at Strationi-upon-Avon with the portion of the Warwickshire
and London Railway which connects that town with Banbury and
the Buckingham:hire Railway ; and at Worcester with the Welsh
Midland and the Worcester, Shrewsbury, and Crewe Union Railways.
It will, in connexion with the Warwickshire and London and the
Buckinghamshire Railways, bring Worcester within 110 miles of
London, and thus establish the shortest route, by 7 miles, between
those cities.
It is propesed to make a branch (three miles in length) from the
main line ncr Oddingley to Droitwich, which will place that town,
and the important Salt Works in the neighbourhood, within 110 miles
of London ; a distance 13 miles shorter than the route by the Oxford,
Woreester, and Wolverhampton Railway.
The advantages to be derived from the projected railway are there-
fore evident.
Besides opening a district now entirely destittfte of railway ac-
commodation, and bringing the various towns through which the line
will pass into immediate communication with each other; it will
connect Worcester with Banbury, Buckingham, Aylesbury, North-
ampton, Huntingdon, Cambridge, Leicester, and Coventry on the
one side, and Warwick with Hereford, Monmouth, and Wales on
the other.
The hop districts of Herefordshire and Worcestershire, and the
Droitwich salt works, cannot fail to be highly benefited
dire by the pro-
jected railway, inasmuch as they will obtain the mostdirect access.
to the great markets of Warwickshire, Buckinghamshire, and the
metropolis.
The numerous railways converging at either end of the projected
line must of necessity establish a traffic amply remunerative upon
the proposed capital.
It is intended to make arrangements with the Wanvickshire
the line and
London Railway Company with regard to that portion of
which lies between Stratford and Warwick.
The Shareholders in the Warwickshire and London, the Worces-
ter, Shrewsbury, and Crewe Union, and the Welsh Midland Rail-
ways, will have a preference in the allotment of the Shares in this
Company.

The object of this undertaking is to supply railway communication
to the towns and districts lying between the London and Birmingham,
and the Great Western Railways, giving them the best means of access
Ethe metrolis, and connecting them also with the Northern and
Eastern lines o pof
railway, as weli as with Oxford and thee and
The main line will commence from the London and Birmingham
Railway, near Harrow, and passing to the north of Uxbridge, will
proceed up the Valley by Chalfont, near Amersham and Chesham to
Missenden and Wendover, and thence to Aylesburywhich
place it will extend to Buckingham, and passing near Winslow, and
approaching Brackley, will terminate by a Junction with the proposed
Warwickshire and London Railway, near Banbury.
In addition to the line above described, it is intended also to con-
struct a Railway from the central station of the London and Bir-
mingham Railway at Wolverton to Buckingham, and thence through
Bicester to Oxford; and in connexion with the line here proposed,
the Bedford, and London and Birmingham Company,
intend to make
a connecting line between Bedford and Wolverton.
The proposed Buckingham and London and Birmingham Railway
Company (for the construction of a line from Wolverton to Bicester)
is amalgamated with this Company.
Accurate surveys of the country have been taken by Mr. Robert
Stephenson, and it has been ascertained that no engineering difficulty
of importance presents itself.
The undertaking has already received the sanction and support of
a very largo proportion of the Nobility, Gentry, and Proprietors of
land through or near whose property it is intended to pass.
It is proposed that these lines should be made with the co-operation,
and under the direction and superintendence of the London and
Birmingham Railway Company; under a lease, in perpetuity, at
four per cent. per aunum on the outlay, with a conditional arrange-
ment as to the surplus profits.
It is intended to offer the shares in such proportion as the amount
of capital will allow of, to the holders of shares in the London,
Worcester and South Staffordshire Railway Company, subject to the
approbation of the Committee of Management, with the exception
of such as may be required for parties having local interests.

s Lima
and capital of Peru, the great marts of trade,
in first instance, to make a railway from Callao,
of the whole Peruvian nation ; and afterwards to
lay down such lines on the coast of the Pacific as may be approved
of by the Shareholders at a general meeting.
The distance from Callao to Lima is about seven English miles.
There is open ground all the way suited to receive the rails, the gra •
client uniform, and no curves, with an abundant supply of water-
power. It is estimated that the cost of this line will not exceed
50,000/. ; and, when it is considered that it will command the whole
traffic of passengers, aid the conveyance of goods between the chief
port and the capital of Peru, it may fairly be assumed that the un-
dertaking will be one of unusual profit.
Should the operations of the Company be confined to the line be-
tween Callao and Lima, no further portion of the capital will be called
for than may be sufficient to construct that line ; and if the objects
of the Company be not carried out, the whole of the deposit-money
will be returned.

This Company is established pui•t,sndibintiLud,ca,odolnLnoonitndoontondotnhe following request and
authority :
" We, the undersigned, being interested in the trade of Manchester.
and in the shortest and quickest intercourse between London and
Manchester, hereby express our conviction that a direct line of rail-
way between those places will give the public the greatest cheapness,.
convenience, and speed.
"That it is of paramount importance to the trade, and to the
public, that they should not continue dependent for communication
with Lancashire upon one, and that a circuitous line of railway.
" That the immediate formation of a direct line is essential.
because, if delayed, it will become more and more difficult, in con-
sequence of the branch railways which local necessity will originate.
" That an independent trunk line is necessary, to guard the trade
and commerce of the metropolis and Lancashire against execs:sirs
charges. and the many evils of a rapidly-extending monopoly.
" We therefore authorise and request Messrs. Ashurst and Son.
Solicitors, and Messrs. Sudlow, Sons,and Torr, Solicitors, to take
the necessary steps for the - formation 'of a Committee, with a view
Lo the adoption of such a line.
