The Directers think it desirable to state that they sometime
since instructed Mr. Stephenson to prepare for Parliament in the
next session a complete system for supplying railway communi-
cation with the whole of Kent. It is proposed to provide direct lines to
Tunbridge, Maidstone, Gravesend, Rochester, Chatham, Faversham,
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.

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 Chumet Valley to Conseil,
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 fro►n 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 theghumet
and Blythe Valley districts.
The co-operation of inost 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.
