This line will commence at the Long Eaton station of the Midland
Counties Railway, and will proceed in a direct line to or near Castle
Doniagton, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Ileasham, and Market Bosworth to
Nuneaton; joining, at Market Bosworth, the Birmingham branch,
projected by the Tamworth and Leicester Company, and at Nuaeaten,
the projected Coventry, Nuneaton, Birm:ugham, and Leicester
Railway, at the point where that line crosses tile Trent Talley line.
Tints a direct communication will be formed between the important
towns of Nottingham, Newark, and Lincoln on the one side, and
Birmingham, Coventry, and Warwick on the other side, at the same
time a rich mineral and agricultural district will be supplied with
railway advantages.

A reference to the map will show that this railway will also com-
mand other collateral advantages.
There is no doubt that the proposed railway communication be-
tween Cheltenham and Warwick will to effected, in which case the
proposed line will fill up the railway chasm at preseut existing be-
tween the counties of Gloucester and Worcester, and Nottingham
and Lincoln. and thus form a direct line front the Severn at Glouces-
ter to the Humber at Great Grimsby. An amalgamation of tho Groat
Grimsby and Sheffield Junction with the Grimsby ➢ock Company
being now determined on, a large amount of capital will be expended
In. rendering (treat Grimsby a port of the first importance; and it
must be obvious that the traffic to that port, from the district south-
west of Warwick, will be very great.
The distance saved by the proposed line between Leamington,
Warwick, Coventry, and Nottingham, will be about twenty miles ;
and betwien Birmingham and Nottingham, the saving will be about
six tulles. Being the shortest roato from Birmingham to Not-
tingham and Lincoln, it must secure the traffic front Birmingham to
Nottingham, Newark, Lincoln, and the port of Great Grimsby ; and
by joining with the Erewash Valley Railway at Long Eaton. it must
command the traffic from Coventry, Warwick, and the district south
of those towns to Sheffield, Leeds, York, and the north of Eng:aad
generally. It will also afford a direct communication between Not-
tingham and the district bet een Warwick and Worcester, by means
ef the projected Worcester, Warwick, and Rugby, and the Warwick
and Worcester Railways.
The eatire length of the line will be about 2d miles. The Com-
pany's Engineer has completed his preliminary survey, and has
made his report, that the character of the country through which
the line is intended to pass is unusually favourable for engineering
purposes.
It passes directly through a very productive mineral district, in-
tersecting the Leicestershire coal-fields and lime-works, and will
&ford communication north and south, to the Derbyshire Potteries.
With such an assured immediate and prospective amoitat of traffic,
the profits en the small capital required cannot fall to be highly re-
munerative.

Powers for all.wvance of interest at four per feelli. ea the paid-up
capital will be taken, and the liability of shareholders limited to the
amount of their subscriptions.
