COVENTRY, BEDWORTH, and
NUNEATON RAILWAY.
The Provisional Directors beg to inform the Shareholders that they
have considered ft to be the most advantageous course for their inte-
rests, under the altered state of circumstances in which this Company
is placed by the decision of the Committee of the House of Commons,
to make arrangements with the Coventry and Leicester Company, for
uniting the project of this Company with the more extensive project
of the Coventry and Leicester Company, by which coalition they
feel assured that the shareholders of this Company will obtain much
greater advantages than could have been realised by the passing of
the Bill in the present session, and such as will amply compensate
them for the additional deposit which it will be necessary for them
to pay. By the terms of the arrangement the Shareholders in this
Company are entitled to receive one share in the united Company,
to be called " The Coventry, .Nuneaton, Birmingham, and Leicester
Railway Company," in exchange for each share held by them in the
Coventry, Bedworth, and Nuneaton Company, on payment of a
deposit of 12. ss. per share, and signing the Parliamentary contract
and subscribers' agreement. The Coventry, Bedworth, and Nuneaton
Shareholders are further informed that, preparatory to the issue
of new certificates, their scrip must be left with the Secretary of the
Coventry and Leicester Company for examination,at No. 3, Church-
court, Old Jewry, between the hours of Eleven and Four, daily, from
Monday next, the 28th instant, till Tuesday, the sth day of August
next, both inclusive, accompanied by a statement, printed forms of
which may be obtained at the above office. Parties failing to send in
their scrip within the time specified will be understoood to decline the
benefit of this arrangement.

This railway has been projected to secure to Manchester and the
flourishing manufacturing district of Lancashire, a direct communi-
cation with Newcastle-upon-Tyne and the important ports and dis-
tricts in the north-eastern part of the kingdom, and in conjunction with
railways now completed or in progress, it will connect Lancashire
with the north of Yorkshire, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Hartlepool,
Durham, and the free port of the Tees, and will shorten the distance
from Lancashire to the north-eastern part of England by upwards of
fifty miles. And on reference to the map of England, it will at once
be seen that this is'lhe most direct line which has hitherto been pro-
jected for that important purpose, and much the most easy of con-
struction.
The line will leave the Leeds and Bradford Extension Railway at a
point between Colne and Skipton, and proceed by way of Grassington
and Kettlewell, by Coverdale, to Middleham, and thence to the
Richmond Branch of the Great North of England Railway, wills
such additions thereto as may effect the most direct communication
with Manchester.
The localities through which the line will pass abound with lead ore,
ironstone, blue limestone, slate, and flags of a Superior quality, but are
entirely deficient in coal. And as a direct communication will thus
be made both with the Durham and Lancashire coal fields, a large
amount of revenue may be expected from this source alone, to say
nothing of the benefits which will be conferred on the inhabitants.
In laying out the line great care will be taken to select not Only
that which is beat for the public, but also to avoid interference with
any ornamental property. And in MI reliance upon this under-
standing, the project meets with the warm approbation of a great
portion of the landowners.
