, following particu-

N.B.—Existing lines give no coma)
either to Doncaster or Gainsbro'. The
lars must also be borne in mind, viz :
As REGARDS DISTANCES : First, that the same advan-
tage over the Sheffield and Lincolnshire (as stated in the
last column) from Sheffield is conferred by the Manches-
ter, Midland, and Grimsby on all places west or north of
Sheffield.

Secondly, that the same advantage as stated from Man-
chester accrues to all places west, northwest, and south-
west of Wortley (a station on the Sheffield and Manches-
ter), including Thorncliffe, Penistone, Chapeltown, Holm-
firth, Huddersfield, Halifax. Bradford, Glossop, Ashtrm,
Oldham, Todmorden, Liverpool, and the whole of the
manufacturing districts of Lancashire.
Third, that the same advantage as stated from Rother-
ham applies to Wakefield. Normanton, Leeds. York, and
all other places on the Midland line north of Masbrough.
It may also be added that the Manchester, Midland, and
Grimsby Junction gives, by its junction at Doncaster
with Goole and Doncaster, a direct communicution from
Chesterfield and the south, and from Sheffield to Goole,
while the Sheffield and Lincolnshire does not accommo-
date that very important traffic at all.
As REGARDS NUMBER OF MILES: To make and ob-
tain an act, for it is quite clear, from the above table, that
the Sheffield and Lincolnshire stands in a strikingly in-
ferior position.

WITH REFERENCE TO VESTED INTERESTS—a right
Parliament justly regards so much—
First, Rotherham has long enjoyed the advantages of
having one of the best cattle markets in England, there
being frequently as many as 350 fat beasts and 7,000 to
9,000 fat sheep per week, in addition to which there is a
very good corn market. On the other hand, Sheffield has
not a market worth naming, and the effect of the Sheffield
and Lincolnshire Railway being made would be almost
entirely to annihilate the Rotherham market.

_
Secondly, if it be deirable (which no one can doubt)
that a railway should, if equaily convenient to the public
and profitable to the shareholders, be carried as near as
possible to the estabiishea and accustomed route, then it
is quite clear that the Manchester, Midland, and Grimsby
Junction should have the preference, as the coaches, por-
ters', and carriers' carts, &c., from Sheffield to Gainsbro'
or Lincoln, invariably run by Rotherham, Maltby, and
so on, being the same line laid out to be pursued by the
Manchester, Midland, and Grimsby.
Third, that the Manchester, Midland, and Grimsby use
the miles of the Sheffield and Rotherham Railway (al-
ready several years in operation), whereas the Sheffield
and Lincolnshire propose to make a most expensive series
of heavy works across the town of Sheffield, and use no
portion of any existing line.
Fourth, the Sheffield and Lincolnshire runs parallel for
some distance with the Chesterfield Canal, thereby, in the
event of that act being obtained, involving the probability
of total ruin to that undertaking, but which powerful
Company have, to protect themselves, lately brought
forward an adverse Line, running the same course as the
Sheffield and Lincolnshire for half its entire distance,
viz., the sixteen miles from Gainsbro' to Worksop.
Fifth, some of the most influential landowners in the
district through which it passes are vehemently opposed
to the Sheffield and Lincolnshire, whereas the noblemen
and gentlemen of the largest property on the Manchester,
Midland, and Grimsby Line are warm supporters of it.
Com.s are some shillings per ton cheaper at Rotheram
than at Sheffield, which, together with the shorter carriage
by the Manchester, Midland, and Grimsby, must make it
very desireable to the inhabitants of the very important
county of Lincoln that the Sheffield and Lincolnshire
project should succumb to the superior merits of its rival.
As REGARDS THE POPULAR FEELING: It is a noto-
rious fact that, even in Sheffield, the feeling of the
inhabitants (and it has been expressed at public meetings
on more than one occasion) is very decidedly against the
Sheffield and Lincolnshire scheme. We may, therefore,
consider that where " 'Tis best known 'tis least liked. '
THE BOARD OF TRADE have expressed themselves very
ecidedly in favour of the Manchester, Midland, and
Grimsby, as compared with the Sheffield and Lincoln-
shire.
However a concealment of facts may be necessary to
bolster up a weak cause, the discerning public cannot
easily be induced to swallow the paragraph (advertised by
authority) in the Sheffield papers a few days ago, which
states, that " there is no residental ground of objection "
to the Sheffield and Lincolnshire. For a pretty sufficiently
damning reply to that assertion let the report of the oppo-
sition of George Savile Foljambe, Esq., and Hutchin-
son, Esq., before the Committee of the House of Com-
mons, be read.
In conclusion, the public may rest assured that the
Manchester, Midland, and Grimsby will go to Parliament
with every prospect of success on its own very superior
merits, and with that success rendered everything but a
dead certainty in consequence of the very powerful sup-
port guaranteed, and friendly alliance entered into with
the most highly influential party of the day.
The public are wished to understand that this advertise-
ment is not issued for the purpose of inducing applica-
tions for Shares, as it would be'useless to apply, it being
Midland,
known that all the Shares in the Manchester,
Midland, and Grimsby are allotted to highly respectable
parties, except a very small number reserved for land-
owners on the line solely.

This line will commence at the most favourable point
on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, near to Huy-
ton, and will proceed through Prescot to St. Helen's, (at
which latter place it will form a junction with the St.
Helen's and Runcorn Gap Railway,) then passing as near
as circumstances will allow to A,hton•in-Mackerfield, it
will proceed to the North Union Railway, near to Batn-
forlong, at which point it will cross over the last-men-
tioned line, and continuing in a direct line through or
near to Westhougbton, it will run into the Bolton and
Preston Line as near as practicable to Bolton. From the
point of communication with the North Union Railway at
Batnfurlong, there will be made a branch through the ex-
tensive coal fields of Abram and Westleigh to join the
Manchester and Wigan Direct Railway at a favourable
point near to Atherton. And there will be made another
branch from the Trunk line between Prescot and St. He-
len's, through Eccleston, to terminate at such peint as
may be consudered desirable for the coal traffic from that
district. _ _

To the towns of Prescot, St. Helen's, and Ashton-in-
Mackerfield, the advantages to be derived from the pro-
posed line will IT incalculable, inasmuch as none of the
above towns possess any adequate railway accommoda-
tion, which is vouched for by tip. fact of the Manufactu-
rers and other parties engaged in trade in those neigh-
bourhoods carting their goods to and from Liverpool;
and by continuing the line beyond Ashton, there will be
afforded to the towns referred to an easy access to Wigan,
Belton, and Manchester, and the surrounding places.
The most important feature in the proposed railway,
more particularly considering the vast increase of traffic
which must hereafter centralize at Bolton on the com-
pletion of the contemplated Liverpool and Leeds Direct
railway, and of the railways now in formation to the
north of Bolton, is that it will present the most direct
communication between the last-mentioned town and
Liverpool, and from the favourable nature of its gra-
dients, will possess unequalled capabilities for working
purposes.
This railway will also afford (more particularly to Bol-
ton and the districts beyond) an improved access to
Warrington, Runcorn, Birk,- nhead, Chester, and Wales.
In reference to the accomplishment in part of these ob-
jects it may be stated, that the directors of the St.
Helen's and Runcorn Gap railway are now taking pre-
liminary steps for making that line more efficacious for
an increased traffic.
By the branch to Atherton, the increasing wants of
that place and Tyldesley, to and from Liverpool, will be
accommodated. _ _

THE Direct London and Liverpool Railway is also a
Direct Liverpool and Birmingham Railway.
It uses the London and Birmingham Railway the whole
distance to Birmingham. From thence it proceeds to
Wolverhampton, either on the Grand Junction, or on
the Wolverhampton, Dudley, and Birmingham Railway.
From Wolverhampton commences the new portion of
Railway, consisting of 55 miles only, and passing through
Newport and Whitchurch on to Chester.
At Chester the Direct London and Liverpool Railway
proceeds, on the Chester and Birkenhead Railway, to
Birkenhead.
It is proposed to establish at Birkenhead a Steam Ferry,
gratis, to Liverpool, across the Mersey, so as to unite both
towns into one.
This Railway has the advantage of passing through the

The whole dibtrict through which this railway and its
branches will run has been long proved to be one con-
tinuous coal field, and traffic which will be derived from
that commodity alone will be immense.

COMPANY'S OFFICES, BIRKENHEAD.
THIS Railway will commence at Buxton by a junction,
with the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Mid-
lands Junction line, and will he carried by Bosley, Mac-
clesfield, and Congleton to Crewe, by which it will be im-
mediately connected with the Grand Junction Railway,
Warrington, Liverpool, and Birkenhead.
From Bosley the line will he continued to Macclesfield,
there to unite with the Manchester and Birmingham Rail-
way.

The chief object contemplated by this measure is to
open a direct railway communication between Derbyshire,
Cheshire, and Lancashire.

Consequent on this project, and by means of Compa-
nies already formed, access will be provided from Che-
shire and Lancashire, by vi ay of Burton, to Sheffield and
the whole of Yorkshire.

Accommodating in its course the towns of Maccles-
field, Leek, Congleton, and Sandbach, (the seat of the
silk manufacture,) containing a population of 80,000 in-
habitants; the line will also invite a very evtensive traffic
from the iron districts of Wolverhampton, the manufac-
tures of the Staffordshire Potteries, the inexhaustible coal
fields of Bid.iulph, the salt works of Lawton and the
Witches, the mineral districts of North Wales, and a r-
byshire, the port of Liverpool, and the rising and rapidly
increasing commerce of Birkenhead,

In alliance with the Grand Junction and Chester and
Holyhead Railways, this project will furnish the nearest
and best means of intercourse from Yorkshire and the
east coast, through D-rhyshire and Cheshire to Ireland.

The local traffic of the various districts comprehended
in this line will be found of the highest importance.
The limestone quarri s of Buxton (probably the best in
the kingdom) wilt be open to the iron works of Shrop-
shire and Staffordshire, and cannot fail to prove a great
source of profit.
The Cheshire salt works will be furnished with the most
direct access to Yorkshire and the seaports on the east
coast.

The coal fields of Biddulph will be opened by a short
branch of about four miles, and a cheap and abundant
supply of the very best coals will be thus afford,..d to the
salt and silk districts of Cheshire. Chester and the ra-
pidly increasing population of Birkenhead and the neigh-
bourhood on the one hand, and to Buxton and North
Derbyshire on the other.

The slate quarries of North Wales will be thrown open
to the eastern coast by the nearest route.
The conveyance of cattle from the Rotherham and
Sheffield markets into Cheshire, will form a great ingre-
dient in the Company's traffic ; whilst the cheese from
Cheshire will have immediate means of transit to th•
eastern districts; and the silk manufactures of Cheshire
insure a direct access into Derbyshire and Yorkshire.
The Liverpool and Birkenhead Docks will receive and
transmit to all parts of the world the various merchandise
and productions of Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Cheshire, and
the central districts of England.

During the summer months a great accession of visitors
and tourists may be expected from Cheshire to Buxton,
thence to witness the romantic and beautiful scenery of
the River Wye, Bakewell, Chatsworth, Matlock, and
Dovedale, to which it is proved there have been nearly
100,000 visitors annually, a number continually increasing.
The extraordinary increase of travelling which every
additional facility creates, and the unexpected influx of
trade which every new railway brings to the district with
which it is connected, render it probable that the advan-
tages which will be actually realized by this line will ex-
ceed the expectations of the most sanguine of its sup-
porters. . . .

• It is proper to notice that this line will form an impor-
tant auxiliary to several railways in actual or prospective
operation, which it proposes to connect together, without
being a competing project to any in existence, and at the
same time to observe that no other line can be formed to
compete with this.
From Crewe'to Buxton the distance is short of twenty-
six miles, and adding the line to Macclesfield of five miles,
and the short branch of four miles to Biddulph, the whole
length of railway to be constructed is less than thirty-five
miles.

The gradients have been carefully examined, and through
the chief part of the line, from Crewe beyond Bosley, are
extremely favourable, and the remaining portion to Bux-
ton presents considerably less engineering difficulties than
the appearance of the country at the first glance indicates,
and none but such as will be easily overcome.

The Capital proposed is considered ample for the pur-
pose of construe ing and working the railway ; and power
will be taken in the act to allow £4 per cent. per annum
on all call. and deposits, until the line is actually opened.
Applicants for Shares, who are personally known to
members of the Provisional Committee, are requested to
refer to one of such committee; those who hold stock in
the Grand Junction, Chester and Birkenhead, and Ches-
ter and Holyhead Railways, or in the Manchester, Bux-
ton, Matlock, and Midlands Junction, respectively, are
requested to state that fast in their applications. Other
applicants will be required to give reference to some
Banker or other party of known respectability in London,
or the town from which such application is made.

A Prospectus and Forms of Applications for Shares
may be obtained on application to the Bankers of the
Company, in Liverpool, Chester, Manchester, and Con-
gleton ; to the Solicitors; or to J. DUNCAN, Esq., 72,
Lombard-street, London.
In the allotment of shares local interests will have due
consideration.

The Company has had the gratification of securing the
the invaluable services of George Stephenson, Esq., under
whose direction the line will be laid out.
Applications may be made in the following form, to the
