Assuming the northern terminus of the Erewash Railway
as its origin, this line will pass through localities totally un-
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 l)inting Vale, and, obeying the course of the
river Dement, enter Yorkshire, in the vicinity of Saddleworth. In
its course, it will pass through or near to Matlock, Ashbourne, Glos-
sop, Mottram, Hydeld, and Duckenfield, 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 sufficient to olverve, that 't is the
scat of those manufactures to which England owes her accumulating
wealth. The line will proceed thence through or near to Whitworth
and Itosscilale, and fall into the East Lancashire Railway, in the
vicinity of liasllngden.
,
A branch will be thrown eut of the trunk line, ftotif the Junction
with the East Lancashire line near Haslingden, by Low-Moor Iron-
works and Bacup, to Totimorden.
The Erewash Extension will be the only direct route from the
centre of Derbyshire to the great manufacturing towns and chief
seapcirts of Lancashire. It will traverse a valley district adorned
with the most picturesque scenery, and, at the same time, rich in
mlnerel produce. It will communicate, laterally, with several trunk
line, of railway, and be fed by no less than five working canals
tl e Cromford—the Manchester and Sheffield—the Huddersficld—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 wall aid
still further powers of accommodation, and, when the dense popula-
tion in the localities traversed is considered, there is every • eas m to
Conclude that an ample remuneration for vested capital via b 3 ob-
tained.
V7Pll9w/115 le course of r:yers, iu this imitate, AU ist

with the exact direction of the projected line, highly favourable gra-
e• nts are obtained for a considerable pa t of the length ; and every
tiler section of the country, upon a preliminary survey, has been
reported as more than commonly practicable. While the return for
-capital cannot be questioned, and the necessities of the district dti,
Wand accommodation, the expenditure must necessarily fall belo-IP
the usual amount 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 id
the elder project.
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 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 Bronchley, Horsmonden, Goudhurst, Cranbrook, Benenden,
Ilawkhurst, Sandhurst, Rolvenden, Newendea, Northiam, Peas-
marsh, Beckley, Iden, and Playden, to the town and harbour of
Rye, and it will embrace a large extent of adjacent country, at pre-
sent unprovided 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 front
any material engineering difficulty, or works likely to require any
serious outlay, and it is not expected to be necessary to interfere with
any residences or 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 500,0001.
During the last session of Parliament application was male for a
similar line, partially embracing the same country, when it was
shown In detail by evidence produced before tile Committee, that the
contemplated traffic, after deducting 40/. per cent. for working ex-
penses, would leave a large per tentage upon the invested capital.
'flat line was rejected on the ground that the best direction had not
been selected, but with an intimation that 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 preseut scheme
has been based upon this intimation, taking advantage of the 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 11111 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 okltye, particularly coals, with lime and other ma-
nures, are of great importance to the country through which this line
will pass, and a cheaper wed better mode of transit will much increase
the demend for them, and give the opportunity of great improvement
in the cultivation of the adjacent country.
A railway through the heart 6f 'the chief hop district of the king-
dom, also producing corn, timber, and hop poles, and communicating
at its terinir us wiili 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 eau be no doubt
if a direct railway should be made to Ityc,-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.

LOCAL AGENT—William Hirst, Esq., Boroughbridge.

This railway is intended to commence at or near to the Alne sta-
tion on the Great North of England Railway, to proceed by way of
Aldborough, Boroughbridge, and Dishforth, and to terminate at the
Leeds and Thirsk Railway near to Wrath, at a junction with, and so
as to form an eastern continuation of, the Yorkshire and Glasgow
Union Railway.

The length of the line will be about thirteen miles, and, in forming
it, three objects are in view :

.Ist. To accommodate Boroughbridge, and a great extent of highly
fertile and productive country hitherto entirely devoid of railway
communication.

2d. To form a connecting link between the Great North of Eng-
land Railway, and the Yorkshire and Glasgow Union Railway, and
thereby connect with this project part of the trunk lines from Hull,
Selby, York, Beverley, Marketweighton, Pocklington, Scarborough,
Whitby, Pickering, Mallon, &c., and the ea-tent districts to Carlisle,
and the west of Scotland by the Yorkshire and Glasgow Union, which
passes through Bedale, Leyburn, Askrigg, Hawes, Kirkby, Stephen
Appleby, and Conning a junction with the Lancaster and Carlisle
Railway near Penrith.
3d. To supply the district in question with coal from the pits In the
neighbourhood of Leeds, and from those of Durham by means of the
Leeds arm) Thirsk Railway and its extension. To afford accommoda-
tion to the town of Boroughbridge and its locality by connecting it
with Carlisle, Durham, Hull, Ripon, York, Scarborough, &c., which
this project will do to a much greater extent than would have been
afforded by the Pill Moor branch of lad session, from the Great
North of England Railway to Borouglibridge, inasmuch as this line
will give an outlet is both a northern and eastern direction, whilst
that of last session would have afforded merely a northern one.
The country is level, requiring no tunnel, and very little cutting or
embanking, and the line will consequently be of easy construction.
The cost will be comparatively light, and all residential annoyance
or injury to property will be avoided.
The saving of distance by this scheme will, on reference to the
map, be seen to be very considerable, especially with regard to rail-
way communication between the cities of Ripon and York, Wath
being only four miles north-east of Ripon; and this line, in con-
nexion with the Leeds and Thirsk Railway (which runs through that
city), forming a continuous, as well as the shortest and best, line of
railway between Ripen and York.
In the allotment of shares preference will be given to landowners
and others locally interested on the line.
Applications for shares (accompanied by a respectable reference) to
be made to the solicitor or agents In the annexed form:—

This undertaking is projected by influential local interests to supply
ren irements of the above important district; and a reference to
111 - map will show that it Will also complete the communication be-
tween ,
York Leeds, and the intermediate towns in the most diregt
course with Londofi. The surveys have been made by Sir John Mac-
neill and James Thompson, Esq., and the country is found to be fa.
vourable to the construction of a railway ; and there is, perhaps, no
line of such importance which could be constructed at comparatively
so small au expense as the stun named in the estimate.
The length of the line will be but about thirty-nine miles ; and by
means of this short link, in connexion wills existing projects from
Nottingham, a saving will be effected between Lee is and the metro-
polis exceeding twenty-five miles.
It will commence at the projected terminus of the Wakefield, Pon-
tefract, and Goole Railway, at Pontefract, and from thence proceed
through Doncaster, Tickhiil, and Worksop, to the terminus of the
Nottingham, Mansfield, and ligligland Counties Railway, at Mansfield ;
