SECRETARY.
Stillingfleet Locker, Esq

Assuming the Northern terminus of the Erewash Rail-
way as its urgin, this Line will pass through localities to-
tally unprovided with Railway accommodation, into the
populous manufacturing districts of Lancashire. It will
continue the important Line from which it borrows the
p.efix of its name, from Alfreton, in Derbyshire, where it
will be a recipient of traffic from the Cromford Canal.—
communicating with the Codnor Iron Works, and obeying
the course of the River Derwent, and continuitz along the
Diuting Vale, enter Yorkshire, in the vicinity of Saddle-
worth. In its course, it will pass through or near to Mat-
lock, Ashbou ne, Glossop, Mottrom, Hyfield, and Duck-
enfield, in reaching which point, the Manchester and Shef-
field Railway will be intersected, and the Huddersfield
Canal-Railway passed, near to the Rochdale Station of
the Manchester and Leeds Railway.
It is unnecessary to state here the character of the coun-
try from Rochdale to Blackburn; it will be sufficient to
observe, that it is the seat of those manufactures to which
England owes her accumulating wealth. The line will
proceed thence through or near to Whitworth and Rossen-
dale, and fall into the East Lancashire Railway, in the
vicinity of Haslingden.
A Branch will be thrown out of the trunk Line, from
the Junction with the East Lancashire Line near Has-
lingden, by Low-Moor and Bacup, to Todmorden.
The Erewash Extension will be the only direct rcute
from the centre of Derbyshire to the great manufacturing
towns and chief sea-ports of Lancashire. It will traverse
a valley-district adorned with the most picturesque sce-
nery, and, at the same time, rich in mineral produce. It
will communicate, laterally, with several trunk lines of
Railway, and will be fed by no less than five working Ca-
nals,—the Cromford, the Manchester and Sheffield, the
Huddersfield, the Manchester and Leda, and the Liver-
pool and Blackburn.
To the multiplication of advantages which intersecting
Railways and Lines of still-water navigation are compelled
to afford, the throwing out of branches from the Line it-
self, in so many directions, will add still further powers of
accommodation, and, when the dense population in the
localities traversed is considered, there is every reason to
conclude that an ample remuneration for vested capital
will be obtained.

By followit:g the courses of rivers, which, in this in-
stance, fall in with the exact direction of the projected
Line, highly favourable gradients are obtained for a con-
siderable part of the length, and every other section of the
country, upon a preliminary survey, has been reported as
more than commonly practicable. While the return for
capital cannot he questioned, and the necessities of the
district demand accommodation, the expenditure must ne-
cessarily fall below the usual amount fur works of equal
magnitude.

'Co identify this project with that of the Erewash Val-
ley, although not included under, or brlonging to the same
Executive, it is proposed to allow Subscribers in that
Company Shares in the Erewash Extension, the number
to be regulated by the interest retained in the elder pro-
ject.

The Deeds will provide Oat no Call shall be made on
the Shareholders 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, interest upon all Calls.
