Assuming the northern terminus of the Erewash Railway
as its origin, this line will pass through localities totally nu-
provided with railway accommodation, into the populous ma-
nufacturing districts of Lancashire. It will continue the
important line from which it borrows the prefix of its name,
from Alfreton, in Derbyshire, where it will be a recipient of
traffic from the Cromford Canal—communicating with the Codnor
ironworks —along the Milting Vale, and, obeying the course of the
river Derwent, enter Yorkshire, in the vicinity of Saddleworth. In
its course, it will pass through or near to Matlock, Ashbourne, Glos-
sop, Mottram, Hyfleld, and Duckenfleld, in reaching which point, the
Manchester and Sheffield Railway will be intersected, and the Hud-
dersfield Canal Railway passed, near to the Rochdale station of the
Manchester and Leeds Railway.

It is unnecessary to state here the character of the country from
Rochdale to Blackburn : it will be suflicient-to observe, that it is the
seat of those manufactures to which England owes her accumulating
wealth. The line will proceed thence through or near to Whitworth
and Rossendale, and fall into the East Lancashire Railway, in the
vicinity of liaslingden.

A hianch will be thrown► out of the trunk line, from the Juncticm
with the East Lancashire line near Haslingden, by Low-Moor iron-
works and Bacup, to Todmorden.

The Erewagh .kxtension will be the only direct route from the
centre of Derbyshire to the great manufacturing towns and chief
seaports of Lancashire. It will traverse a valley district adorned
with the most picturesque scenery, and, at the same time, rich in
mineral produce. It will communicate, laterally, with several trunk
lines of railway, and will be fed by no less than live working canals
the Cromford—the Manchester and Shcflldd—the Huddersfield —the
Manchester and Leeds—and the Liverpool and Blackburn.
.To the multiplication of advantages which intersecting railways
and lines of still-water navigation are compelled to afford, the throw-
ing out of branches from the line itself in so many directions will add
still further powers of accommodation, and, when the dense popuia-
Bonin the localities traversed is considered, there,isevery reason to
conclude that an ample remuneration for vested capital will be ob-
tained.

with the exact direction of the projected line, highly favourable gra-
dients are obtained for a considerable pa-t of the length; and every
other section of the country, upon a preliminary survey, has been
reported as more than commonly practicable. While the return for
capitil cannot be questioned, and the necessities of the district de-
mand accommodation,
.the expenditure must necessarily fall below
the usual afflount for works of equal magnitude.
To identify this project with that of the Erewash Valley, although
not included under, or belonging to the same executive, it is pro-
posed to allow subscribers in that Company shares in the Erewash
Extension : the number to be regulated by the interest retained lu
the elder project.
The deeds will provide that no call shall be made ou. 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 4 per cent. in-
terest upon all calls.

PROSPECTUS.

This line will pass in a direct course from Tunbridge, via Paddock
Wood (thus connecting itself with Maidstone) through the parishes
of Brenchley, Horsmonden, Goudhurst, Cranbrook, Benenden,
llawkhurst, Sandhurst, Itolvenden, Newenden, Northiam, reas-
marsh, Beckley, Ides, and I'layden, to the town and harbour of
Rye, and it will embrace a lat.,. e extent of adjacent country, at pre
sent unprovideel with, and much requiring, the admitted advantages
of railway transit.
The length of the line will be about 25 miles—a great portion of It
will pass through a level country, and the remaining part is free from
any mat riot engineering difficulty, or works likely to require any
serious outlay, and it is not expected to be necessary to interfere with
any residences cr ornamental property.
_ _ _

The saving of distance to Rye, and all the other places embraced
by this line,will be considerable.
The capital required is estimated not to exceed 600,000/.
During the last session of Parliament application was made for a
similar nue, partially embracing the same country, when It was
shown in detail by evidence produced before the Committee, that the
contemplated traffic, after deducting 401. per cent. for working ex-
penses, would leave a large per centage upon the invested capital.
That line was rejected on the ground that the best direction had not
been selected, but with an intimation thud the port of Rye was en-
titled to a direct railway communication with the interior of the
country, in the best direction towards London. The present scheme
has been based upon this intimation, taking advantage of tile merits
and defects which appeared upon that investigation, and as it em-
braces a more populous and productive country, and passes in a more
direct line to London, and will have the benefit of better access to
other and more numerous lines, the sources of traffic are consider-
ably increased, and there is every reason to believe, from what passed
during the last session, that the present plan will be favourably enter-
tained by the Legislature:
The chief object is to open the port of Rye to the Mil benefit of a
railway communication, through a populous and productive district,
in the direction of London, to the best point at which it can avail itself
'of the existing and contemplated lines.
The imports of Itye, particularly coals, with lime and other ma-
nures, are of great importance to the country through which this line
will pass, and a cheaper and better mode of transit will much increase
the detnnud for them, and give the opportunity of great improvement
in the cultivation of the adjacent country.
A railway through the heart of the chief hop district of the king-
dom, also producing corn, timber, and hop poles, and communicating
at its terminus with a great part of the important cattle district of
Romney Marsh, must be a public advantage.
The port of Rye is admitted to be the best outlet and quickest route
to Paris and to other parts of the Continent, and there can be no doubt
if a direct railway should be made to Rye, with a moderate improve-
ment in the harbour, that it would be much adopted, particularly as
a national and commercial communication with France, and by per-
sons travelling on business.

The importance of connecting remote parts of E..gland by rail-
ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns
and districts, can scarcely be better exemplified than by the lino
which is Low proposed to form a short and direct channel of inter-
course between Oxford and Salisbury. Numerous projected lines
new before the pnblie will snake Oxford at the north, and Salisbury
at the south of the intended railroad, the central points from which
various radii will diverge to the north-west, north, and north-east of
the former, and to the south and west of the latter ; and the
proposed line from Cambridge t• Oxford, confirming to that salty the
conrse of railway front the north-eastern parts of the island, requires
the appliance now suggested to effect a complete means of transit to
the western and south-western counties.
The Oxford and noallsbury Direct Railway, in addition to
the benefits which will be conferred upon the nation at

the adjacent villages, an important railway acconimedation, of which
the agricultural districts in which they are seated stand in much
need, and will provide a facility for the interchange of prackee be-
tween the rural, manufacturing, and commercial
Polntlation of the
City kingdom. The projected line will bring the Cathedral City of Salis-
bury into immediate connexion with the and University of
; thus strengthening the
ecclesiastical and academical relations of the whole, whilst the com-
mercial prosperity of the two terminal cities must of necessity be

The want of railway accommodation has long been felt to

Abingdon. Their means mid opinirluies Of competing with the
more

rect channels of transit, are thus severa'v crippled.
The same remark
applies in some degree to the marketi try* of \Vantage, which, as

Surveyor—J, B. Shepherd, Esq.
The object of this railway is to afford to the inhabitants residing
within a circle of about ten m les south of the Thames the means
of a safe, frequent, and speedy communication with the heart of
the City.

It is proposed to have a central terminus in Queen-street, Cheap-
side, with a direct line of railway over Southwark-bridge to the Ele-
phant and Castle, and thence by radiating branches to accommodate
the localities of Kennington, Brixton, Streatham, Croydon, Clap-
ham; liatham, Tooting, Miteliam, Walworth, Camberwell, Peckham,
Dulwich, Norwood, the Kent-road, Deptford, Greenwich, Black-
heath, Charlton, Woolwich, Wandsworth, Putney, Mortlakq, and
Richmoni, completing the chain of communication with the South-
Western at Wandsworth, and with the London and Brighton and
South-Eastern Line at Croydon.
It is needless to point out in this preliminary announcement the
enormous passenger traffic which may be expected on this railway,
when it Is considered that the portion of the suburbs to which ac-
commodation is to be afforded contain a population of between
seven and eight hundred thousand persons, requiring daily inter-
course with the City.

As this Hirt will be constructed upon the atmospheric principle,
and the present public roads will be adopted as far as practicable,
the cost will not bear comparison with that of railways In general,
and it is estimated that It will ply to the shareholders of the under-
taking a remunerating profit of not less than 10 per cent., even
reckoning the conveyance of passengers at the Icw rates of from
3d. to GI for the whole, or any part of the distance, to say nothing
of the enormous traffic In parcels and goods.
A detailed prospectus, with the names of a very influential Com-
mittee, and other officers, will appear in a few days. In the mean-
time all communications and applications for shares, in the usual
form, may be addressed to It. B. Colley, Esq., the secretary, pro tern.

PROSPECTUS.
Commencing at Cambridge, which has now become the traffic-
centre of the Eastern Counties, by the line of railway intended to be
termed by that Company, this line will proceed to Bedford, there
passing near Olney it will cross at or rear the Blisworth Station of the
London and Birmingham Railway, where it will communicate with
the Northampton and Peterborough line; it will then proceed west-
ward, crossing the Oxford and Rugby line at or near Fenny-Compton
to Stratford-on-Avon, there joining the proposed line from Warwick
and Leamington to Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the West of
England; continuing its course through Alcester, the line will go di-
rect to Worcester, and thus terminate at the great centre of traffic
for the mineral and manufactitring districts of South Staffordshire,
Shropshire, and North and South Wales. This proposed line doe.
not interfere with any existing railways, and presenting, as it does,
an unbroken line between two great centres of traffic, the importance
of the undertaking needs no further comment.
Negotiations have been entered into with the Eastern Comi-
ties Railway Company, by which their support and co-operation will
be ensured for obtaining the line now proposed.
An arrangement has also been made with the proposed Rugby,
Warwick, and Worcester Company, which this line will join at Al-
cester, and by means of which the Eastern Counties' traffic will pro-
ceed to Worcester.

Power will be reserved to the Directors to amalgamate with any
other existing or projecting Companies, or to vary the line.

lowing Sharebrokers, of whom prospectuses, with maps of the line.
