the Committee of Management desire to express their regret that,
owing to the numerous applications from parties locally interested,
and holders of Shares in the Eastern Counties and Norwich Com-

The Directors have the satisfaction to inform their Shareholders
that arrangements have been concluded with the Norfolk Company
for an extension of the line from Wisbeach, via Downham Market,
to Brandon, thus completing an independent line of communication
from Yarmouth and Norwich to Nottingham and the manufacturing
districts, and securing by the alliance the passing of the traffic over
the entire portion of the Grand Union and Extension Line referred
to. The distance between Nottingham and Yarmouth by the pro-
posed extension will be as short as by the Lynn and Dereham and
Lynn and Ely lines, while the traffic to and from the north, from the
central, west, and south parts of Norfolk, the north of Cambridge-
shire, and the counties of Suffolk and Essex, will be secured for the
united undertaking.
The Extension Line will be made by the two Companies jointly,
and the shares will be apportioned amongst the respective share-
holders of each.
It is intended that the Norfolk and Grand Union Companies should
guarantee four per cent dividend, with a division of profits to the
shareholders of the new line.
The direction will consist of an equal number of gentlemen from
the Norfolk and Grand Union boards, and Mr. Robert Stephenson
will co-operate with Mr. Vignoles as engineer of the line.
Further particulars will be shortly advertised.

This railway is intended to commences at the terminus of and
unite with the Nottingham and Lincoln Railway, at Lincoln, and to
proceed by or near Wragby and Market Raisen to Great Grimsby,
with a branch from or near Market Raisen to Louth, and a branch
from the main line near to and through Wragby to Horneastle.
The length of the main line from Lincoln to Grimsby will be about
32 miles, the branch to Louth about 10 miles, and the branch to
Horncastle about 14 miles—together 56 miles.
The advantages of the line will be self-evident to those acquainted
with the locality; amongst other benefits, it may be observed, that
this line will form a direct and speedy communication between the
port of Great Grimsby and the midland and western counties, as well
as the metropolis ; and the port of Great Grimsby (which may now be
looked upon as the future Liverpool of the Humber) is admitted by
maritime and practical men to be the best situated northern port of
England for the whole of the markets of the continental Europe.
A glance at the map of Europe will show its superior local advantages.
The completion of this undertaking will facilitate a passenger
traffic as well as the transmission of grain, cattle, butter, wool, tim
ber, stone, lime, manure, and other goods and merchandise, to and
from the great towns of Birmingham, Coventry, Leicester, Derby,
Nottingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and the intermediate towns and
manufacturing districts, and will open the coal-fields of Nottingham.
shire, Leicestershire, and Derbyshire, to Lincolnshire, and a direct
communication between the midland and western counties and the
port of Great Grimsby for ex ortation and importation to and from
the markets of continental Europe. It will likewise render easy of
access that ancient and now ‘nuch-frequented and improving sea-
bathing place Cleethorpes, to and from which place a large amount
of passenger traffic may be relied on. being within the distance of
two miles from the proposed terminus at Great Grimsby.
The county of Lincoln abounds in agricultural productions, whilst
it is believed an inadequate recompense has hitherto accrued to
those engaged therein, by reason of which both produce and land
have been depreciated in value, but now
important advantages
will present themselves to both the agricultural and mercantile in-
terest.
The gradients of the line are exceedingly favourable, and the
expense of construction will be unusually low; the promoters have
therefore every reason to anticipate a most satisfactory return for
the capital to be invested.
The plan of this Company also comprises one of great national in-
terest, when viewed in connexion with other improvements of the
Port of Great Grimsby, and the formation of a harbour of refuge
for the German and Baltic Seas.
The Committee of Management have much pleasure in announc-
ing to the public that this undertaking has the cordial approval and
support of the Midland Railway Company.
Application will be made for power to allow interest at the rate of
41. per cent. on all deposits and calls paid up, and for restricting the
liability of shareholders to the amount of their respective shares.
All ornamental property on the line will, as far as possible, be re-
spected.
A reservation of shares will be made in favour of parties locally
interested or otherwise.
Prospectuses may be had, and applications for shares, in the form
annexed, containing a reference to a member of the Committee of
Management or a Banker, are to be made either to the Solicitor to
the Company, the Local Agents, or the Secretary. Prospectuses may
also be had at the offices of Messrs. George Baker and Sons, 29,
Threadneedle-street; or Mr. J. If Scott, 3, Bartholomew-lane, Lon-
don; but no application will be attended to unless accompanied by
such reference.

The first line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the
Loughborough station on the Midland Counties line, and pro-
ceed through the Vale of Sheepshead, to Pegs Green Colliery,
near to the terminus of the Leicester and Swannington Rail-
way, and from thence through the coal-fields of Swannington
and Cole-Orton to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. It will thence proceed across
the Moira Coal-field and through the rich agricultural districts of
Seal,Clifton Campville, and Edingale, to the Birmingham and Derby
Railway, which it will cross near to Elford Park Farm, and thence
traverse the Valley of the Tame until it reaches Alrewas, where it
will form a junction with the branch of the Trent Valley line now in
progress of making. At this point it also meets the proposed South
Staffordshire line, by which means it reaches Lichfield, and by means
of one of the proposed lines it will afford communication with'Bir-
mingham.

From Loughborough the line will be further continued to A sfordby
on the Syston and Peterborough Railway, now in progress, and by
means of this latter line, a direct intercourse will be opened with
Melton Mowbray and the various towns through which that route
passes to Peterborough.
By its junction with !the Trent Valley line at' Alrewas, the
Grand Trunk reaches Colwich, and there meets the proposed North
Staffordshire line, which proceeds through the heart of the Potteries
to Newcastle-under-Lyne, Leek, and Macclesfield. By means also
of the same Trent Valley line at Alrewas the Grand Trunk pro-
ceeds through Rugeley to Stafford, thus completing its route, and
forming a connecting line between the Midland and Grand Junction
Railways. This branch of the line was formerly surveyed by Mr.
Rastrick, and approved of by him as a canal communication, so that
no engineering difficulties exist.
The second line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the
Derby station, and taking the course of the Derby Canal proceed to
Chellaston, where there are extensive plaster-works, and thence
by Swarkestone to the river Trent, which it will cross near to
the ferry at Weston Cliffe, and so proceed to Kings Newton
and ' Melbourne. From the latter place it will pass by the
village of Wilson to Breedon-on-the-Hill, where there are extensive
lime-works, and thence proceed by Staunton Harold, communicat-
ing by a branch line with the lead, lime, and coal works there ;
thence by the Lount Colliery to Worthington Rough, where it will
follow the line of the Cole-Orton and Swannington Railway until its
junction with the first line of the Grand Trunk at or near the Pegs
Green Colliery, and so proceed from thence to Ashby-de-la-Zouch.
At Ashby-de-la-Zouch the Grand Trunk forms a junction with the
proposed Nottingham and Birmingham, and with the proposed Great
Blanchester, Rugby, and Southampton Railways. Its importance as
a line for passengers is too obvious for comment, forming as it does a
complete junction between those two great thoroughfares, the Mid-
land and Grand Junction Railways, and by its branch from Derby to
Ashby-de-la-Zouch another complete junction between the Great
Northern and Southern lines now in progress, thus opening a direct
line of communication to all parts of the kingdom.
As a line for traffic, the Grand Trunk will form the most direct
transit to the Leicestershire, Staffordshire, and Shropshire iron and
coal fields, to the Burton breweries, to North and South Wales, and
Ireland to Scotland, and all parts of the north, and to the eastern,
southern, and western parts of the empire. It will also be the
nearest and most direct communication from the east to the north-
western manufacturing districts, as well as become the great route
from all parts of the kingdom to the midland counties of England.
The mineral resources are of the very highest order. The Moira
coal-field is inexhaustible, whilst the coal-beds at Staunton Harold
alone comprise the finest quality of Kennel to a depth of seven feet,
with a super stratum of main coal to a depth of six feet. The sub-
stratum is yet to be worked. There are beds of Kennel and main
coal at Cole Orton of equal quality, though not of equal depth with
those of Staunton Harold, whilst the main coal at Swannington is un-
rivalled, being, in fact, the bowl of the Leicestershire and Derbyshire
coal strata. It is needless to describe the beneficial results which
must arise from this opening of the midland coal district to the Lon-
don and southern markets.

At Staunton Harold and Calke exist rich veins of lead ore, now in
full course of working.

The properties of the Breedon, Staunton Harold, and Ticknall lime
aro so weil known to agriculturists and others, that an extension of
traffic for so valuable a commodity into mare remote districts must
be of the utmost importance to the practical farmer.

In approaching the Trent, on leaving the lime district, the Grand
Trunk will fall in with most valuable quarries of millstone grit, ser-
viceable for paving and building purposes, and for which a ready
market would be found along the line. The country also abounds
in gypsum, of which immense quantities are used in Birming-
ham and elsewhere : these markets will thus become opened for the
quarries at Chellaston.

- A new and extensive outlet will also be opened for the earthenware
of )Vooden Box and Griesley Potteries.
Until the Act of Parliament be obtained, the affairs will be under
the control of the Committee of Management, to whom power Is
given to allot the shares and apply the fluids of the Company in
payment of all proper expenses in the formation of the Company and
otherwise.

Power will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime the
Committee of Management take power, to alter or extend the lines,
to Make branch lines, to abandon any part of the line, to raise addi-
tional capital, and to enter into arrangements with any other Com-
pany or Companies..

TO SCR EPHOLDERS.
In consequence of modifications of this line, rendered necessary by
the decisions of Parliament in the late session, and of the increase of
the Parliamentary deposit required by the New Standing Orders, the
Provisional Committee find it necessary to call in the scrip hitherto
issued, for the purpose of replacing it by new scrip, to require an ad-
ditional deposit of 12s. per share, and to cause new deeds to be pre-
pared for the signature of the Proprietors. Parties to whom scrip
has been Issued are acconlingly requested to send in their scrip, on
or before the first day of October next, to the Secretary. New letters
of allotment will at once be Issued to such of the present holders of
scrip so sent in, as were original subscribers for their shares; but
where the scrip has changed hands, satisfactory references as to the
responsibility of the holders will be required by the Directors before
new letters of allotment can be issued ; on the additional deposit
being paid (in accordance with the new letters of allotment), and the
new deeds being executed, the new scrip will be issued.
On and after the 10th of October next, the present scrip (unless it
shall have been sent In to the Secretary, and received by him pre-
viously to that day) will be considered as cancelled, and the shares It
represents will be re-allotted. Parties sending scrip are requested to
write their names across each scrip certificate for the sake of security,
and to send by a post letter, at the same time that they send their
scrip, a list of the numbers of the scrip they have dispatched, with
their own name, residence, and (if necessary) that of their references,
attached in full to the end of such list.

Leaving the terminus of theeexCeac
at Lincoln, the proposed line will be taken by Saxelby and
Lea to Gaiusborough, where it will cross the Trent, and thence to
Haxey-gate, whence a branch will issue to Doncaster. At this lat-
ter place a communication will be formed with projected lines from
Manchester and Sheffield to the port of Goole; and by this arrange-
ment a communication will be opened with the inexhaustible coal
fields of Elsecar and Sllkstone—a species not inferior to that of Dur-
ham and Sunderland—as well as with the limestone quarries at
Warmsworth, so valuable for building purposes.
Proceeding to Thorne, the line reaches Snaith, and, continuing its
direct course westward to Selby, near to which it is crossed by the
Hull and Selby Railway, 'will have its northern terminus at the city
of York.
At Thorne, or some convenient point near to it, an auxiliary line
will emanate from the main trunk to Askern,
and either by means
of the proposed branch to the Wakefield, Pontefract
efract and Goole line
to that place, or by an independent course, as may hereafter be deter-
mined upon, will run through Pontefract' direct to Leeds. By this
means the whole of the manufacturing districts of the West Riding
of Yorkshire and Lancashire will be rendered easily accessible.
This line will be the shortest between Lincoln and York ; Lincoln
and Leeds ; Lincoln and Selby ; York and Selby ; and York and
Hull.
The gradients throughout the line are so favourable, that none exceed
15% feet in the mile, an instance unparalleled, if the length of it be
taken into conelderation. There will be no tunnels i the works will
