This Cempany IS formed for making aerailway fl'etn Lilifpeol to
Derby, and will, lit cotOtietteit 'with the tteiteliester gild tittgby
direction, through Warrington, keit:Alt litll4
Direct, and Imeleil and Birmingham Railways, fertn the nearest
route trolls Liverpool to London. It will continence At Lifetime', and
proceed along the Liverpool and Ilaticheeter Railway to within a
iinportant hits of tfiliwa,t Will
short distance of the WhiSten Inclitted lene, and thence branch off,
London, and effect a direct
in a south-easterlY
Congletott to Leek (there joining the lifgrichoetet And Rugby Rail-
way), and from thence theongh Ashbourne to Derby. The whole
tiwoe;eititthreoueta.esitternis

is that it forms the
chain of Communication between Liverpool and Derby, and will
thence, by means of the Midlands and other rallvnefS; open en unite.
terrupted route to the more eastern counties, and afford a complete
ernandpabriNy the
the kingdom and the important in ertnediate manufacturing districts,
shoTrhteestnirndt til•moix'mrtLahlerpfoco9l"tioretoindon. The distance by it, with the
Manchester and Rugby, and Lon; on and Birmingham, bill be only
midland communication between
188 miles, whereas by
Trent Valley Railway 200% I ttli el l effecting a ;saving of 22 miles in
one instance, and 12% miles in_ the other.
and
And as regards Liverpool Derby, the whole distance between
Liverpool and Derby will be reduced by this line te about 74 miles,
thus decreasing the distance by any present existing railway, at least
44 miles; an advent :eel which carries in itself the conviction of the
necessity there Is for the proposedt railway, in order to connect more
immediately two such imps owns, especially when these towns
are but the foci, as it were, for other railways from still more distant
localities, us before adverted to. t
The distance also from Manchester to Leek (where the proposed
railway will unite with the Manchester and Rugby Difect Railway)
will be about 30 miles, and frome Leek to Derby about 2614 miles,
making the whole distance ir Manchester to Derby only 56
miles ; and thus diminishing them .
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 result,.
But great as these results most certainly will be, they are far cat-
important conslderat
weighed by the very !on that, In conjunction
with the Manchester and rugby Direct Railway, it will also be the
most direct route from Liverpel to London.
The distance from Liverpool to Leek (the proposed point of junc-
tion with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) to 47% mules,:
from Leek to Rugby, accoralniz, to the line as proposed by the Man-
chester and Rugby Direct "
Rel way, 68 miles, and from Rugby to
London 83 miles; thus milking the whole distance from Liverpool to
London 18818 miles, instead of 210, by the prevent route.
With regard to the traffic and other details connected with the
working of the line, it seems only neceerary to revert to the great
importance of the town proposed to be brought Into communication
with each other, in order to convince the minds et all that the source
of revenue thus derived will be immense,
There are no eugineerinX difficulties connected with the forming of
the I;at.
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 on all calls. ~. . ~, •
