The national object of this undertaking is to create a direct and
united communication between the eastern and western parts of the
kingdom.

On reference to a railway map of England, it will at once be seen
that Stafford and Crewe, on the Grand Junction and Derby, and
Belper, on the Midland Railway, are the centres to which a great
number of lines of railway, either already constructed or projected,
converge ; and between these four points no railway exists.
The West Midland Railway proposes to unite these points In the
following way :—By commencing one of its arms at Crewe station,
on the Grand Junction Railway, which will run through or near
Newcastle-under-Lyne, Bursham, Stoke-upon-Trent, Lane End, and
Cheadle, to Uttoxeter, where its other arm from Stafford will meet It
and proceed thence, by Ashbourne to a point near the Belper station
on the Midland Railway, whore it will take advantage of the pro-
posed Derby and Gainsborough, Nottingham and Mansfield, and
Roston, Newark, and Sheffield Railways ; thus opening a direct com-
munication between Holyhead and other_parts of North Wales,
Cheshire, Staffordshire, and Shropshire,:on the one hand, and Sheffield,
Retford, Mansfield, Nottingham, Newark, Xorvrich, and the ports of
Gainsborough, Grimsby, Boston, Spalding, Lynn and Yarmouth, on
the other.

This line will accommodate a very considerable portion of the tragic
prooeedieg from the west coast of Scotland, Cumberland, and Lanca-
shire, into Lincolnshire and the south-eastern parts of the kingdom,
and by that portion of the line which Is proposed to ran between
Belper and Stafford, and the whole of the traffic from the east coast
of Scotland, Northumberland, Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire,
and other populous northern counties passing to the west and south-
west, together with the opulent mineral districts of South Wales, will
be effectually served.
Passing as this line will do, through a densely-populated and ex-
tensive manufacturing dl *let, it must be viewed, even in its local
character, as one of vas:. ..oportance. The mere enumeration of the
towns affected by it would suffice to show that the traffic over it
will be immense ; but, n addition to this, whet credit is taken for the
thorough traffic passing diagonally over the line from south-east to
north-west, and from north-east to south-west, as well as for the
corn and other agricultural produce from the eastern counties to the
manufacturing districts ; and a return carriage of manufactured
goods, slates from North Wales, salt trent Cheshire, earthenware
from Staffordshire, and iron from Shropshire, for the consumption of
the midland counties AS well as for export from the eastern porta
of Hull, Grimsby, Boston, Spalding, &c., some adequate idea may
be formed of the advantages which the comple ion of this
comprehensive scheme will naturally develop. All these objects
have been deeply and seriously considered, and deemed of such para-
mount importance f legal interests, that the fullest and most In-
fluential supperf co-operatioe have been obtained to effectually
carry out and ins .he various objects of this undertaking. d
