The proposed railway is intended to commence on the Trent
?alley Railway near Stafford, and proceeding thence in 'au easterly
lirection, to pass through, or near to, Tixall, Haywood, Colwich, and
&bbott'e Bromley, to the rapidly-increasing town of Burton-upon-
Trent, where it will run into the Birmingham and Derby Railway,
forming the shortest and best practicable route from Stafford to
Derby. Leaving the Birmingham and Derby Railway at Burton-
upon-Trent, it will proceed along the valley of the Trent by Itepton,
Swarkestone, and Shardlow, to the Midland Counties Railway at the
point where that railway forms a junction with the Derby and Not-
tingham Railway; and thus, by means of these and other railways
in progress, form a complete line of railway communication between
the central towns of Stafford, Derby, Nottingham, Lincoln, Leices-
ter, Peterborough, and Boston, on the east, and Shrewsbury, Ches-
ter, and Holyhead, North Wales, and Ireland, on the west.
This railway will, therefore, form the only connecting link re-
quired In the great chain of railway communication from east and
west through the heart of the kingdort, uniting the shores of the
German Ocean on the east with those ofthe Irish Sea OR the west, and
traversing in Its course the rich agricultural districts of the eastern,
midland, and western counties, and accommodating the Important, and
populous manufacturing towns of Stafford, Derby, Nottingham, Lei-
cester, and Shrewsbury. But another most important advantage
that will result from the formation of this line will consist in the
fact of its affording, in connexion with the proposed South Union, or
Manchester and Potteries Railway, by far the shortest and best
route between Derby, Nottingham, Newark, Lincoln, Peterborough,
Leicester, and Loughborough, and the extensive and pepulous dis-
tricts of the Staffordshire Potteries, Macclesfield, Stockport, and
Manchester. By the proposed line the distance between Nottingham
and Derby and Manchester will be at least from 15 to 20 miles less
tlitn by the present circuitous route by Sheffield.
The traffic on this line must necessarily be equal, if not superior,
to that of any line in the district.

Th 6 length of the line will be about 33 miles, through a country
presenting no difficulties of more than an ordinary kind for its con-
struction.

The capital proposed to be raised is 600,0001., in shares of 201.
each, upon which a deposit of 2/. 2s. per share must be paid upon the
allotment. No call will be made until the Act is obtained, and no
subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of his deposit until the
Act i➢ obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription;
and the usual power will be taken to allow interest at four per cent.
from the time of payment upon each call until the opening of the
line.

The Subscribers' Agreement and the Parliamentary Contract must
he executed when the hankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip cer-
tificates, of which 14 days' notice will be given ; and tiie deposits
paid by any party making default in the execution of those deeds will
be forfeited.
