This Company is formed for the purpose of tendering, in conjunction
with a French Company which shall provide an adequate amount of
capital, for either of the Three Great Lines of Railway from the North
to the South of France, namely, from Paris to the Belgian frontier,
from Paris to Lyons, and from Lyons to Avignon, with their respective
branches.
The first and principal object of this Company, however, is to ten-
der for the Great North Line, for which purpose it has formed a
Union with Decan's French Company, entitled,
COMPAGNIE DU NORD,"
which has been duly constituted in France, and is under the direc-
tion and management of the following influential parties :

It is confidently expected that the Great North Line will be the
first adjudicated; and that sufficient time will be allowed between
the period of its concession and the days of tender for each of the
other two Great Trunk Lines above-mentioned to enable the Com-
pany, if unsuccessful in obtaining the Great North Line, to tender,
in conjunction with a Company or Companies in France, for each of
such other Great Trunk Lines in succession.
The mode of proceeding will be as follows :--So soon as the adju-
dication of the Great North Line shall have been decided, in case the
Company shall not obtain the concession, the English Committee, if
they shall deem it to be for the interests of the Shareholders, are
empowered to adopt all necessary measures to enable them, in con-
junction with a Company or Companies in France having an adequate
amount of subscribed capital, to tender for one or both of the other
Great Trunk Lines above-named as they shall be offered for compe-
tition. And in case this Company shall obtain the concession of the
Great North Line, the Committee are empowered, if they should
deem it expedient, to issue new Shares for the purpose of raising
sufficient capital to enable it to tender in like manner for one or both
of the other Great Trunk Lines, in which case the Shareholders of
this Company are to have the option of taking such new Shares at
par, but the interest of holders of Shares in_the first of the Lines that
may be conceded to the Company shall not be in any way affected
by their declining to take any of such now Shares, or, having taken
them, by their failing to pay the deposit or calls thereon.
The distinguishing feature of this Company is, that the Share-
holders, for the single deposit paid upon their shares, will have three
chances of success in their investment, with a guarantee arising from
this circumstance that their interests will not be jeopardised by the
temptation to offer on terms not remunerative.
A deposit V 2/. per Share will, on allotment, be required to be paid
to the Bankers of the Company, who will give receipts for the same,
which must be exchanged for certificates in such manner as the
Committee shall determine.
The Deposit Fund will remain under the sole management and
control of the English Committee, No. 2, until required to
be remitted to Paris, when the amount will be invested or deposited
in such manner as shall meet the requirements of the French Law,
and at the same time secure the interests of the Shareholders.
The Subscribers and Shareholders will be bound to adhere to the
statutes and regulations of the Company, to execute such Contracts
and Deeds as may be required, and to pay all calls at the times and
in the manner specified by the Directors. In the event of non-com-
pliance on the part of any Shareholder, after due notice, his or her
share or shares may be cancelled, and the deposit money and all calls
paid thereon be forfeited.
All notices Involving forfeiture or loss in case of non-compliance,
shall be advertised twice,; with an interval of twenty-one days, In
two at least of the London Morning Newspapers.
In the event of this Company not obtaining an interest in the con-
cession of the Great North Line, or either of the other two Great Lines
above named, the deposit will, within two mon' hs after the adjudica-
tion of the last of such lines, be returned in full ; but if in the interval
before the 31st day of December next, the Great North Line should
be adjudicated to any other Company, and if the adjudication of the
other lines herein contemplated should from any circumstances be
postponed over the present year, in- such case the Directors of this
Company will convene a General Meeting of the English Share-
holders in London without delay, and leave it to the majority to de-
cide whether the Company shall be dissolved, and the deposit money
returned to each Shareholder, or what other proceedings shall be
adopted.

THE GREAT NORTH LINE. (Compagnie du Nord.)
The Projet de Loi of this line, as it has finally passed the Chamber
of Deputies, embraces—
Ftast--The Great North Trunk Line as traced and in progress of
construction by the French Government, from Paris to the Belgian
Frontier, with branches to Calais and Dunkirk.
SECOND—The branch from Crel/ to St. Quintin.
THIED—The branch from Famponx to Hazebrouck ; these three
will be subjects of separate tenders and adjudications ; and it is not
obligatory on the Company tendering for the first to offer for both or
either of the others, but the Capital above named will be sufficient to
enable the United Company, in ease it should be deemed advisable,
to tender for all or either of them.
The moiety of the Capital required for the Great North Line has
already been subscribed in France, through the agency of Decan's
Company, and deposit monies, amounting to 320,000/. sterling, have
been actually paid up and invested in Bonds of the Royal Treasury of
France, bearing interest.
In the event of the lines or any or either of them being conceded
to this Company, the necessary steps will; be taken in France to
constitute it a Societe Anonyme
and no Shareholder will be
liable beyond the amount of his Shares.
Pending the negotiation and tenders for the concession, a Joint
Committee, composed of equal numbers of the respective Boards, is
;
invested with full powers to do every thing needful to effect coin-
pliaace with the existing or any future laws of France relating to
railways, and to make such terms, conditions and arrangements, and
perform all such acts, as they may consider likely to promote the
interests of the United Company, and the success of the undertaking.
In the event of this line being conceded to the United Company,
its affairs will be managed by a Board of Directors, domiciled in
France, which will regularly report all their proceedings to the Eng-
lish Directors, who will, moreover, be entitled to vote at the French
Board, and to appoint a Director to reside in France and represent
them there.

The capital of the Company may be diminished or increased to
any extent, according to the requirements of the undertaking, In
the event of diminution, the Subscription of each Shareholder will be
rateably reduced, and, in case of increase, the original Shareholders
will have a preference in the allotment of new shares.
From the time of the passing of the Royal Ordinance of Conees-
esinetnit,laed so ndunretieletivhee cointemrpeslettiaont
4 ofpetlriecweaotr. Pei annum on the amountks, the Shareholders will be
of capital they have paid up.
From the opening of the line, the net proceeds, after paying work-
ing expenses and all charges of the direction and management in
England and France, and providing a fluid for contingent expenses,
will be annually divided as follows :
FIRST—A dividend of Si. per cent. per annum to the proprietors.
SECOND—A sum equal to 1/. per cent. per annum upon the Capital
of the Company, or such other stun as the Directors shall see flt, will
be set apart as a sinking fund, towards the reimbursement of the Ca-
pital at the expiration of the lease or grant of the Line, or for distri-
bution, from dine to time, among the Shareholders, as may be deter-
mined by a General Meeting to be convened for that purpose.
Tnian—The surplus will be distributed among the Shareholders,
according to their respective interests.
_ _ _ . .

Generil Meetings Will be called and held at such times and in such
manner as shall be hereafter determined upon by the Directors ; and
English holders of not less than 20 Shares will be entitled to vote at
all meetings held in England or France.
