This Company is formed for making a railway from Liverpool to
a Theeo
complete
I s wholet
s
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, Kuutsford, and
Congleton to Leek (there joining the Manchester
sindopletungaliny
unin-
terrupteditail-
Rail-
way), and from thence through Ashhourne liolaui.lDadyeartiriyo
length of the proposed line will be about sixty-six miles. It will he
seen by reference to the map that this important line of railway will
form the shortest route from Liverpool to London, and effect a direct
chain of communication bete eon Liverpool and Derby, and will
.rd
midland communication between the eastern and western parts of
tience,b3rromuteeaitios ott;itehem.3olridelaennsdtsernandcoouthnetriersa,
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. The 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 20034 miles ; effecting a saving of 22 miles ia
one instance, and 12)4 miles in the other.
And as regards Liverpool and Derby, the whole distance between
Liverpool and Derby will be reduced by this line to about 74 miles,
thus decreasing the distance by any present existing railway, at least
41 miles; an advantsge which carries in itself eke conviction of the
necessity there is for the proposed railway, in order to connect more
immediately two such important towns, especially when these towns
are but the foci, as it were, for other railways from still more distant
localities, as before adverted to.
The distance also from Manchester to Leek (where the proposed
railway will unite with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway)
will be about 30 miles, and from Leek to Derby about 2634 mils,
making the whole distance from Manchester to Derby only eeq
miles ; and thus diminishing the distance by any present communi-
cation between those important towns by about 28 miles, ad object
most desirable to be attained, and of itself quite ruffleient to recom-
mend a line of railway embracing such beneficial results.
But great as these results most certainly a-ill 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 4734 milis:
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 63 miles ; thus making the whole distance from Liverpool to
London 188 y, 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 Ins.
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 4/. per cents
interest on all calls.

This railway project will join Manchester to Lincoln by nearly 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, Ilorncastle, Louth, Lincoln, Gainsborough, Retford, and
Worksop, to Sheffield, Rotherham, Chesterfield, Bakewell, Buxton,
Stockport, Manchester, Liverpool, and Birkenhead; also the most
direct communication froth 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 it it will join the Mid-
land Railway, the Chesterfield and Sheffield Railway, and also the
proposed North Derbyshire lines, which proceed direct to Manchester
and Liverpool, and North Staffordshire. In length it will be about
56 miles.
A section of the line will commence at Gainsborough, and join the
main line at East Retford : a branch will be made from Worksop to
join the Midland near Beighton, so as to give railway accommoda-
tion to Rotherham and the nortern districts. This branch 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 moat 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 manufaetur ng towns of Lancashire
and North Stafforlshire, with the rich corn-growing districts of Lin-
coln and Nottinghamshire, and will give to the rising ports of Great
Grimsby and Wainfleet 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 connt cts itself. It will offer a great
advantage to the public from its union with the Chesterfsld Canal,
for that portion of the canal, not used for the railway, will give ex-
tensive 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 abovj outline of the objects
to be accomplished, apd 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 91. 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 bo 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 ineuned by any subscriber beyond the zunotmt 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.
