COVENTRY, NUNEATON, BIRMINGHAM,
AND LEICESTER RAILWAY.
(Provisionally Registered.)
Capital, 840,0001., in Shares of 25/. each.
This Railway will connect Leicester, Birmingham, and Coventry,
by the nearest practicable route; and was provisionally registered
and capital subscribed long before any other scheme was projected
for supplying railway accommodation to the district.

This line will commence at or near the Wigston station
of the Midland Counties Railway, will pass by or near
the manufacturing localities of Narborough, Sapeote, Earl
Shilton, Burbage, and Hinckley, through a district most favourable
for engineering purposes, to a junction with the Trent Valley at Nun-
eaton. thence it continues nearly due west to the Whitacre station of
the Birmingham and Derby Railway, and south-west by Bedworth
to the Coventry station of the London and Birmingham Company.
The line will communicate with the Swanaington Railway either by
means of the proposed Broughton Asticy branch of the Midlands, or
of a separnbe branch to be formed by this Company ; thereby opening
the entire of the Leicestershire coal-field to the counties south-east
o "Leicester.
The Directors, for the last few months, having used their best
exertions for the interests of the Company, feel it their duty, now
that the surveys, plans, and other arrangements are sofar advanced,
to acquaint their shareholders with the position and prospects of the
undertaking.
The Coventry, Bedworth, and Nuneaton line, which received the
favourable report of the Board of Trade, and was before Parliament
last session, forms part of the present projected plan for connecting
Leicester, Coventry, and Birmingham.
The Directors have, by personal inspection, accompanied by their
engineer, satisfied themselves of the remarkable facilities presented
by the district for executing the greater part of the line ; and from
careful investigation the Directors have the pleasure of informing the
shareholders that this undertaking satinet fail to prove a profitable
investment if supported by local traffic only, and with the certainty
that a through traffic from the eastern and western lines, covnbined
with the great advantages afforded by the junction with the Trent
Valley for the tr.nsit of goods to and from Liverpool, Scotland, Ire-
land, and the United States, its importance cannot be over estimated.
From the extent of population accommodated by this railway
—from the convenience afforded to the trade and manufactures of
the Midland Counties—from the vast mineral resources of the dis-
tricts traversed, and from its pesition in regard to other important,
established, and projected railways, the Directors feel confident that
it will be amply remunerative to the Shareholder, and highly advan-
tag ous to the public.
The capital has been subscribed, and the Parliamentary deeds have
been executed, and the prelimin,ary survey completed.
A list of a new and highly Influential local direction, and a map of
the line, will be published in a few clays.

The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, is a direct Ms from
London to Manchester, coming from London to Rugby along the
London and Birmingham line, and proceeding from Rugby to
Hinckley, through Market-Bosworth and Ashby-de-la-Zouch, to
e
Drby, thee to Ashbottrne, by Leek, to Macciesfleld, an along the
Macclesfielncd and Stockport, and Stockport and Manchester d Railways,
into Manchester.
A branch to Buxton is in contemplation.
The principle of this railway is to obtain a direct through line be-
tween some of the most important districts in the kingdom with the
lw.et po.sible amount of new railway, and consequently the smallest
Menditure of capital.
It will also establish the shortest direct communication between
Derby and London, Sheffield and London, and between all the towns
on the North Midland Railway and London.
The Manchester, Derby and Rugby Railway will open a direct
communicationbetween Manchester and Derby; and will considerably
shorten the distance between Manchester and Nottingham, and Man-
cheater and Leicester.
The line from Derby to Rugby will establish the direct communi-
ea•lon from that town to London, which has been so long considered
desirable by the inhabitants.
'rho same will apply ts Sheffield, when the Sheffield and Chester-
field branch of the North Midland Railway is made. The Rugby,
Wrhy, atid Manchester Railway, in connexion with the Oxford and.
Ile t,v and Oxford, Southampton and Gosport Railways forms a dl-
re -t Manchester and Southampton rue.
THE GREAT ADVANTAGES
of the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway over the other pro-
je'ts into Manchester, among others, are—
First, That there are only seventy-flue miles of railway to be
made, in place of one hundred and eighty-nine.
Secondly, That it Is a more direct line from Londme to Manchester
than even the proposed direct lines.
Thirdly, That it interferes with no existing railway property or
vested interests.
Fourthly, That it passes through a district rich in manufactures,
agriculture, and minerals, but which—more especially as regards its
koieultural produce, and a convenient system of intercommunication
for the conveyance of that agricultural produce, to supply the large
manufacturing towns in the vicinity—has been hitherto left totally
without railway communication.
Fifthly, That it passes through the towns in its route, instead of
avoiding Them.
Sixthly, That the whole line of railway from Rugby to Manchester
will be completed and in working order within ten months from the
paleing of the Act of Parliament.
Seventhly, That the maps, plans, estimates, and other documents
required by the standing orders of Parliament, will be lodged with
the. Parish Clerks, the Clerks of the Peace for the Counties, and
the Parliamentary offices, on the 10th of November next, being
twe ity days within the time required by the regulations of Parlia-
ment.
In the allotment of shares a preference will be given, to the extent
of 10,000 shares, to the holders of stock in the London and Birming-
ham Railway, also of 2,000 shares to the shareholders in the Oxford,
Southampton, and Gosport RailwaY Cempany of 1,000 shars to the
Oxford and Rugby Railway Company and 2,000 shares to the Man-
Chester and Birmingham Railway Company.
Applications for shares may be made to the Solicitor of the Com-
pany, or any of the agents or local stlicitom of the Company, but
all such applications must be accompanied by a reference to a mem-
bar of the Provisional Committee, er banker, solicitor, or stock-
bropler.
No applications for shares will be received after Friday next, the
1110th of September instant.
