MANCHESTER, HUDDERSFIELD, and
GREAT GRIMSBY DIRECT RAILWAY.
The Committee of Management have to announce with sincere
regret that, owing to the overwhelming number of applications for
shares in this undertaking, so many applicants of great respect-
ability have been necessarily excluded, and from the same cause, the
allotment, are smaller than they otherwise mi.fht Lave bean, to meet
the required demands. The number allotted to the Provisional
Committee has been correspondingly limited.

ft Le proposed by this Company to establish a direct line sr commu-
nkatly,abatwecti Birrignhain, Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hull,
at the smaliert ottilay' preatitral, aril with tiz Utast posetble-Injnry to
exlating int:Testa. To effect this object, use will be made of existing
or projected lines, as far as practienple, and the chain of co:nut:mica-
Win will be completed by throwing out new lines, where requisite.
Commencing-at-Biirningl•am, It i proposed to use the Birmingham
and Derby Railway as far as Whitacre, whence a new line, about 29
miles in length, will be made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zoitch and
Castle Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid-
land Counties Railway
The communication being fling perfect to Nottingham, it will be
earned ,orward as far as Gainsborougb, either by the propose& Not-
tingham and Gainaborough Railway, or by a line springing oat of the
line rim Nottingham to Lincoln, for which an Act was obtained by
the Midland Counties Company during the last session of Parliament.
Front Galnshorough this railway will proceed to Barton-on-the-
number, or New Holland, in the immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby
rendering complete and entire the chain of communication between
Birmingham and Hull.
ily this project the advantages will result to the publie of a
Direct line from Birmingham to Nottingham,
Birmingham to Gainsborongh,
and from Birmingham to Hull;
and by Means of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Railway,
and the Intended extension to Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Alrewas, a
direct lino from Wolverhampton and Dudley to Nottingham. and
the other towns already enumerated.

The support of several companies will be enlisted In favour of the
line, which, together with Its own merits, will ensure its success in
Parliament.

..
Asa considerable portion of the line of eommunication Is already
Made, or in progrosq, the time mrired for the completion of this
great national undertaking will be materially aliertened.
Independently of the advantages to be derived by a direct commu-
nication between the important seaport of Hull and the mining and
manufacturing districts of Warwickshire and Staffordshire, a large
frame timber, *ern, metals, &c., may be confidently expected.
The 'avenue of the Company, in addition, will be derived from the
great thorough traffic It'om Birmingham and the midland counties to
Nottingham and Gainshorough, and the immense traffic from Bir-
mingham to hull, the port at which the exports are shipped to Itun-
burgh, the German States, and the North of Zurope ; and from the
con,oyanee of merchandise, agricultural produce, and settle from the
southern, western, and midland counties.
A preference will be given in the allotment of shares to landowners
en the line, and other local proprietors, as well as to directors and
shareholders in railways interested In supporting this undertaking.
No subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of the deposit
anti! the let is obtained. and then not beyond the amount of his
sabseription.
The usual power will be taken to allow interest at the rate of four
per sent. from the time et payment sipmi each call until the opening
at the lines. . .

.....
No applications will be attended to without a reference to a
member of the Committee, a banker, or the solicitors to this Company.
The Sn scribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be
sxecuteml when the bankers' receipts are excbanged for scrip certifi-
cates. cf which drre notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by
any party making default in the execution of those deeds will be for-
feited.
