PROSPECTUS.
The importance of this project, both nationally and locally, has de-
termined its promoters to bring it before the public at the present
moment. notwithstanding the difficulties which at first sight would
appear to stand in the way ofits success.
The title of the scheme is sufficiently explicit to pmt the public in
possession of its merits without a detailed statement enumerating
them.
Arrangements are in progress with the Canal Company for its ab-
solute purchase, the final completion of which will doubtless be ef-
fected at a very early period.
The Warwick and Birmingham Canal has, notwithstanding the
opening of the London and Birmingham Rai way, yielded a dividend
of about 12 per cent. to its shareholders.
By the conversion of the canal into a railway with the benefit of a
terminus in the centre of the large town of Birmingham, a
direct railway communication will be opened with the impor-
tant towns of Leamington and Warwick, at which latter place
the proposed line will join the branch of the London and Bir-
mingham Extension Railway Company, from Warwick to Fenny
Compton; thus opening, by means of the projected lines
through Buckinghamshire, a much nearer railway communica-
tion between London and Birmingham than the present one, in addi-
tion to conferring on the very important districts through which the
line passes the benefit of railway accommodation, and which is not
now possessed by them.
The proposed line will be in immediate and close alliance with the
Rugby, Warwick, and Worcester, the London and Birmingham Ex-
tension, and the Warwick and Worcester Railway Companies ; those
Companies having agreed to subscribe a very considerable portion of
the required capital.
The necessary plans and books of reference have been deposited,
and notices to landowners and others duly served ; so that nothing
can prevent the Company from applying to Parliament for its Act of
Incorporation in the session of 1846.
Preference will be given in the allotment of shares to parties locally
interested, to shareholders in the Warwick and Birmingham Canal,
and the Rugby Warwick, and Worcester, the London and Birming-
ham Extension, and the Warwick and Worcester Railway Companies,
The time within which parties must apply fur Shares will expire
on the 24th of January, 1846.
In the event of the application to Parliament not being made in the
session of 1846, the whole of the deposits will be immediately re-
turned to the shareholders without any deduction for expenses or
otherwise.
Applications for Shares may be made in the undermentioned Form
to the several solicitors and secretaries of the Company.

INCOLN, WAINFLEET HAVEN, and
BOSTON RAILWAY.
In consequence of the ".Lincoln, Hormastle, Spilsby, and Wain-
fleet Raven Railway " appearing in the list of schemes•published in
the " Times " newspaper of the 14th instant as having failed to de-
posit their plans on the 31st December, and as being therefore not
prepared to proceed in Parliament; the Committee of Management
beg to recall to the Shareholders the statement contained in the let-
ters of allotment, that to the original scheme a branch from Boston
to Wainfleet had been added, and that the Company would thence-
forth be styled " the Uncoils, Wainfleet Haven, and Boston
Railway."
The Committee also have the gratification of being able to allay
any apprehensions caused by the " Times' " list to Shareholders,
who may have forgotten the altered style of the Company, by refer-
ring them to those published lists which enumerate the Companies
who have duly deposited, and by inflrming them that they have in
every respect complied with Parliamentary requisitions, and are
proceeding with their Bill for the Session now about to commence,
with the warm support of Lord Bayning, Lord Willoughby d'Ereiby,
the Governors of Ilethlem Hospital, and others of the largest landed
proprietors whose estates will be passed through by the line.

TION RAILWAY COMPANY.
The Directors have great satisfaction in informingthe Shareholders
that they have concluded an agreement for an amalgamation of this
Company with the Warwickshire and London Company, and as the
latter is a projected Company of the London and Birmingham, and
the Midland Companies, the Directors congratulate the Shareholders
on their prospects of obtaining the valuable line from Warwick to
Cheltenham without an expensive Parliamentary contest, particularly
as no other Company has succeeded in depositing their plans for the
entire line.
By the terms of the amalgamation every shareholder in the War-
wick and Cheltenham Company will (subject to approval by a joint
Committee), be intitleclito two shares of 20(. each in the Warwick-
shire and London Company for every three in the former company.
It will he requisite, in order to make up the 10 per cent. deposit, for
the shareholders in the Warwick and Cheltenham to pay up 6d. per
share on all the shares they now hold. As it has been found to be
impossible to get in all the claims upon this Company in thee to
settle them before the issue of this advertisement, the shareholders
are also required to pay ss. per share on the number of shares they
hold in this Company, towards the excess of expenditure over and
above the sum agreed to be paid by the Warwickshire Company,
