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 cf its success.
The title of the scheme is sufficiently explicit to pot the !while 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 o7the London and Birmingham Rai way, yielded a dividend
of abo.it 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
1 he 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, War wick- and Worcester, the London-and Birmingham Ex-
tension, and the Warwie, and Worcester Railway Companies; those
Companies having ir,reed 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
'ateresied, to shareholders in the Warwick and Birmingham Canal,
Warwick, and Worcester, the London and Birming-
hamand the Warwick and Worcester Railway Companies,
dh
within which parties must apply for Shares will expire
anteEhet.itemßnuegsboyn,,
on the 24th of January, 1846.
In the event o: 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.
FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.
To the Directors of the Warwick and Birmingham Canal Railway
Company.
Gentlemen,—ln consideration of your allotting me Shares
of 201. each in this undertaking, I hereby undertake to pay the de-
posit of 21. 2s. per Share thereon, or on such lesser number of Shares
as may allotted to me, and to execute the necessary deeds when
thereunto required.

BANKERS.

Sir Claude Scott and Co., Cavendish-square, London. •
Messrs. Smith, Ellison, &c., Lincoln.
The Committee have the satisfaction of announcing to the public
that they have fully eomplied with the whole of the standing orders
of both Houses of Parliament. They have done this without having
issued one share up to the present time.
The great preponderance of landowners on the proposed line are
decidedly favourable to its construction, and the consulting engi-
neer, Mr. John Urpeth Rastrick, and the acting engieeer, Mr. W. B.
Prichard, concur in an entire approval of the plans and sections,
which have been made from actual and most careful survey.
All 0.-e proceedings that have as yet taken place have been ef-
fected r t a cost of one-fourth less than that of any other line of si-
milar extent.
Should either die London and York Railway, or the Direct Nor-
thern Railway, obtain an Act, of which there can be but little
doubt but that one will obtain the sanction of Parliament, the Lin-
coln and Grantham Direct Railway will, by joining the Great
Tru•ilt at the short distance of seventeen miles from Lincoln (only
half an hour's travelling), afford the most direct way to London, at
the same lime by its connexion with either the Hull or the Grimsby
lines, it will present at once the nearest and most direct communi-
cation between Loneon and Hull.
The certified cost o' forming and cempleting.the line throughout
from Lincoln to Grantham, supposing that neither the London and
York Railway nor'the Direct Northern Railway should be formed,
would L s 275,000/. ; hut should either of those lines be pass•d, the
expense o7flve miles, including a tunnel, the only one on the route,
will be Saved, thus reducing the expense necessary to be incurred to
170,0001., a suns Tess in amount than has ever been expended by any
railway of a similar extent, and possessing features of such great
prospective rivantage.
The Committee pledge themselves to exercise the same discretion
and observe the same discrimination in the allotment of shares as
they have hitherto pursued in their other proceedings. As they
haVe a list of numerous applicants already before them, they have
fixed the 26th instant as the last day on which they can receive ap-
plications for shares. Immediate'y after that day the Committee
will issue Letters of Allotment. A further notification will be given
when the deeds will be required to be signed previously to their ap-
plication to Parliament in the approaching session for a Bill, with all
requisite and usual clauses.
The Committee take the opportunity to apprise the applicants
for shares. that unless the required sum is subsctibed and paid up, to
enable the Committee to lodge the requisite amount in the hands of
the Accountant-General, in conformity with the standing orders of
l'arliament, that the deposits will be returned :me of any deduction.

The Committee of Direction beg to inform the Shareholders that
the requisite deposits with the parish-clerks, Private Bill-office, Scc., I
have been made, and the whole of the notices served in compliance
with tke Standing Orders of Parliament.
The value and importance of the line being universally admitted,
the Committee beg to submit the following tabular statement, from
an examination of which the public will ba able to julge how far the
engineering merits of this line will bear comparison with the other

From an examination of the preceding, it 1011 be seen that the
line of the Boston, Newark, and Sheffield Railway, as a communi-
cation between Boston and Sheffield, while it connects Boston and
Sleaford with Newark, which the others do net, has the advantages
over its opponents of 11% miles in distance, 8,408 yards in tun-
nelling, and of a gradient of 1 in 120, instead of 1 in 84, thus effect-
ing an enormous saving in capital.
Oa the two other routes compared above, the advantages as to
gradients and tunnelling greatly preponderate on the same side, that
of the Boston, Newark, and Sheffield Railway; and these, according
to a principle lately most prominently announced by a great railway
authority—"tht the best railway is not always the shortest, but
that which works best "—much more than compensates for its greater
length of about three miles.
Besides, there are fourteen miles and a half of the route from Not-
tingham to F,aston, via the Boston, Newark, and Sheffield Railway,
already in the course of construction by the Midland Company,

NICOLL'S PALETOT, regisiered 6 and 7 Vic.,
cap. 65, is patronised 17 the Prince Consort, Prince George
of Cambridge, &c., and is generally acknowledged to excel all other
great coats. The cloth is made of Llama Wool, known to be porous,
yet naturally repellant of rain.
In the neighbourhood of the extensive Warerooms, 114, Regent-
street, a few small shops are se far unprincipled as to assume a
similarity of name, intending to impose upon strangers some trashy
substitute. Messrs. Nicoll think it due to their own reputation thus
to caution the public, and to suggest that a copy of the Address be
preserved ; and they further offer a Reward of Fifty Pounds for the
detection of a Positive Infringement.
'Black Llama Cloth, from its soft elastic nature, is well adapted for
Evening Dress Costs—to be had only of the Patentees.
Each correct registered Paletot is stamped in the lining "11. J. and
D. Nicoll, 114, Regent-street, London."
