SECRETARY.

This Company is formed for making a railway from Liverpool to I
Derby, and will, in conjunction with the Manchester and Rugby
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 fronaiverpool 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. me distance by it, with the
Manchester and Rugby, and London and Birmingham, will be only
188 miles, whereas by the present route it is 210 miles, and by the
Trent Valley Railway 200% miles ; effecting a saving of 22 miles in
at least
one instance, and 12% miles in the other.
toanLdeeßkugby
And as regards Liverpool and Derby, the whole distance between
Liverpool and Derby will be reduced by this line to about 74 miles,
(where the proposed
thus decreasing the distance by any present existing railway,
46 miles; an advantlfse which carries in itself the conviction of the
Direct Railway)
necessity there is for the proposed railway, hi order to connect more
Immediately two such important towns, especially when these towns
are but the foci, as it were, for other railways front still more distant
localities, as before adverted to. r
will be about 30 miles, and from Leek to Derby about 26% miles,
raiTlwheaydiswtadnlcuenaitlesowfirt
making the whole distance from Manchester to Derby only se%
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 gufficient to recom-
mend a line of railway embracing such beneficial results.
ohmthel'iltifiaienbeehsetseter
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% miles;
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 liar. uo call shall

This railway project will join Manchester to Lincoln by Mali,' a
straight line, and has been formed by an union with the Chesterfield
Canal Company. One of its objects is the conversion of that canal
into a railway (as far as it may be available), so as to give the most
complete system of railway accommodation from Great Grimsby.
Wainfleet, Ilorneastle, Louth, Lincoln, Gainsborough, Retford, and
Worksop, to Sheffield, Rotherham, Chesterfield, Bakewell, Buxton,
Stockport, Manchester, Liverpool, and Birkenhead; also the most
direct communication from east to west, with Macclesfield, Congleton,
Crewe, Chester, Bangor, and Ireland ; as well as nearly direct access
to the Staffordshire Potteries and iron districts of North Staffordshire;
also to Shrewsbury and North and South Wales. Southward, it will -
give a good communication to Derby, Birmingham, Droitwich, Chel-
tenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and Southampton.
This line will commence at Lincoln, and go nearly direct to East
Retford, Worksop, and Chesterfield, where A it will join the Mid-
land Railway, the Chesterfield and Sheffield Railway, and also the
proposed North Derbyshire lines,
which proceed direct to 3laschester
and Liverpool, and North Staffordshire. In lengthit will be about
56 miles.

•
A section of the line will commence at Gainshorough,
and ;?in the
main line at East Retford : a branch will be made from Worksop to
join the Midland near Reighton, so as to give railway accommoda-
tion to Rotherham and the nortern districts. This branck will take
the course of the Chesterfield Canal, which it is proposed to use in
its construction: • • _ _

A glance at the map will at once show the Importance of this
national undertaking. In connexion with other lines it will form
the most direct and valuable trunk line from east to west than has
yet been offered for public support; it will join together nearly by a
direct route the most important manufactur;ng towns of Lancashire
and _North Staffordshire, with the rich corn-growing districts of Lin-
coln and Nottinghamshire, and will give to the rising ports of Great
Grimsby and Waintlect a most perfect access from nearly all the
great manufacturing districts of the west.
The project, comprehensive and integral in itself, interferes with
no vested interests, and will form a considerable auxiliary and feeder
to the various lines with which it connects itself. It will offer 4 great

advantage to the public from its union with the Chesterfield Canal,

for that portion of the canal, not used for the railway, will give ex-
tensivo local accommodation, by affording many more points of con-
tact with the consumer. _ _ _

It is thought unnecessary to present any detailed estimate of
traffic, as it must be obvious from the above outline of the objects
to be accomplished, and the rich, populous, and productive agricul-
tural and manufacturing districts to be traversed and connected, and
the extent of inexhaustible coal. fields and lime and stone quarries in
the immediate neighbourhood of the line, that the project presents a
most advantageous investment for capital, and will afford an ample
remuneration to the shareholders ; in proof of which reference may
be made to the printed yearly accounts of the Chesterfield Canal
Company, which for an average of 10 years, commencing in 1834,
show a dividend of above 9/. per cent. per annum.
Independently, however, of the local traffic, the through traffic '
between the ports on the east coast, and the various districts to the
west, and the exports and imports which will be conveyed, cannot
fail to be most productive, and to give the shareholders a good return
for the outlay of their capital.
To the inhabitants of the various towns and districts which this
line traverses a complete system of railway
accommodation will be
given ; and the bare mention of the project has called forth a spon-
taneous offer of support from almost every direction.
A general survey of the line has already been made, and instruc-
tions have been given for the necessary ground surveys, with a view
of obtaining an Act in the ensuing session of Parliament, and such
surveys arc in so forward a state as to preclude the possibility of dis-
appointment.
Power will be given in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. per
annum, from the time of payment until the opening of the line, and
no liability will be incurred by any subscriber beyond the amount of
subscription.
In the allotment of shares the Committee will give a preference to
parties locally interested, and in all cases satisfactory reference will
be required to a banker or to some person of known respectability.
Applications for prospectuses and shares may be made to the soli-
citors and to the secretary.

The Southern Junction Railway is intended to forma communica-
tion between the Great Western Railway at Slough, and the South-
Eastern at Reigate.
It will afford the most easy access through the medium of the
Great Western Railway to the inhabitants of Reading, Maidenhead,
Windsor, Staines, Kingston, Epsom, and the principal intermediate
towns, to Dover, Brighton, Hastings, and the other watering-places
on the coast of Kent and Sussex.
Ireland, Wales, Liverpool, Biimingham, Bristol, and the manu-
facturing districts in the West of England will thus obtain a more
direct, less tedious and expensive communication with the Continent
than by the way of London.
The length of line as proposed will be twenty-seven miles ; and,
after a careful examination, no engineering difficulty presents itself,
as it runs for more than half the distance on a level, and traverses a
country that must be greatly benefited by this project.
The Company will be in a situation to deposit the Parliamentary
plans and sections in ample time for complying with the standing
orders, and enabling them to apply for an Act in the ensuing
session.
The shortness of the line, and the quantity of pass,ein.gedrouabntdof mer-
cantile.n traffic that the line will command, leaves
ample return for the investment of capital.
