Staffordshire Potteries, Birmingham, Derby, Leicester, Manchester,
Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle and Berwick, and with the great manu-
facturing and mining districts of the north of England.
The numerous parishes and districts which will be traversed by the
line comprise a population of nearly 1,500,000 persons, and passing,
as it will, a portion of the counties of Berks and Oxford, the whole
of Buckinghamshire, and by the celebrated Vale of Aylesbury, adn
uniting with the several completed or projected railways under-
mentioned, viz.:—
The London and Birmingham
The Great Western
The Southampton Union
The South M:dland
The Midland Counties
The Northampton and Leicester
. Tie Northampton and Peterborough, and thus with
The Direct Manchester
it cannot be doubted that it must prove extremely convenient and
beneficial to the public, and highly advantageous to the proprietors.
The liability of the shareholders will be restricted by Act of Par-
liament to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be ap-
plied for in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum on all
calls, from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line.
Arrangements have been made that the survey shall be completed,
and the plans and sections deposited in time for obtaining an Act
during the ensuing session of Parliament.

It is proposed by this Company to establish a direct line Of commu-
nication between Birmingham, Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hull,
at the smallest oatlay of capital, and with the least possible injury to
existing interests. To effect this object, use will be made of existing
or projected lines, as far as practicable, and the chain of communica-
tion will be completed by throwing out new lines, where requisite,
Commencing at Birmingham, it is 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-Zouch and
Castle Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid-
land Counties Railway

Independently of the advantages be
nication between the Important seaport of Hull and the mining
and
manufacturing districts of Warwickshire and Staffordshire, a large
traffic in timber, corn, metals, &c., may be confidently expected.
The revenue of the Company, in addition, will be derived from the
great thorough traffic from Birmingham and the midland counties to
Nottingham and Gainsborough, and the immense traffic from Bir-
mingham to Hull, the'port at which the exports are shipped to Ham-
fr om the
burgh, the German States, and the North of Europe ; and
conveyance of merchandise, agricultnral produce, and cattle from the
Southern, western, and midland counties.
A preference will be given in the allotment of shares to landowners
on 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
until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his
subscription.
The usual power will be taken to allow interest at the rate of four
per cent, from the time of payment upon each call until the opening
of the line.
No applications will be attended to without a reference to a
member of the Committee, a banker, or the solicitors to this Company.
The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract mast be
executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip certifi-
cates, cf which due notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by
any party making default in the execution of those deeds will be for-
feited.
Plaits and prospectuses, with forms of applications for shares, may
be had of the Solicitors, and of the following Stock and Sharebrokers,
viz. :—Messrs. Wells, Westropp, and Prinsep, 75, Old Broad-street ;

This important line of railway, commencing at the port of Gains-
borough, laintended to pass along the Trent flat by Bole, Sturton-le-
Steeple , North Leverton, South Leverton, Treswell, Rampton, Lane-
ham, Dunham, Ragnal, Fleetborough, Marnharn, Normanton, Grass-
thorpe, Sutton-upon-Trent, Carlton, Cromwell, Norwell, Bathley,
North Muskham, to Newark, and thence to Nottingham, by the
existing Midlands branch, making the total distance to Nottingham
forty-one miles or thereabouts ; thus effecting a direct line from
Gainsborough to Nottingham, which will connect Derby, Birming-
ham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the west of England generally, with
Gainsborongh, Goole, Hull, and Great Grimsby.
The object of the promoters of this railway is to afford to existing
interests an opportunity of uniting to secure the immense traffic
which exists along this line in its original and legitimate course, via
Newark•upon-Trent to Nottingham. They propose no unfair inter-
ference with the rights and properties of vested companies, but, by
cutting off the angles and curves of the river, render the route the
most direct, economical, and speedy of any railway that can be
made. It is free from any engineering difficulty or obstruction.
There are no tunnels or expensive cuttings necessary; nor does it
interfere with any residential property ; and the expense of forma-
tion will be much below the average cost, as compared with other
lines. _ . _

The proposed railway will commence at Rugby, on the London
and Birmingham Railway, the terminus of the Midland Counties
and Trent Valley Railways, and the paint to which several other
projected railways converge, and will proceed through or near to
Leamington, Warwick, Stratford-on-Avon, Evesham, Tewkesbury,
and Cheltenham, to Gloucester. The length of the line will ba
about 86 miles.
The advantages that will result from the construction of this line
are numerous and highly important, and such as cannot fall to secure
a very large amount of local and through traffic, and a highly-re-
munerative return upon the capital invested. By means of existing
and proposed railways, it will form a complete chain of railway com-
munication between the whole of the midland and north-eastern
counties ofEngland, the populous cities and towns before-named, and
the southern and western districts, and thus bring Leicester, Not-
tingham, Newark, Lincoln, Gainsborough, Great Grimsby, and Hull,
into direct communication with the favourite and fashionable spas of
Leamington and Cheltenham, the richly-productive and far-famed
Vale of Evesham, and the seaports of Gloucester, Bristol, Plymouth,
and Falmouth, and those of South Wales.
The inhabitants and visitors of the much-frequented watering-
places of Leamington and Cheltenham, will thus obtain a direct line
between those resorts, instead of the present circuitous route through
Birmingham, affording that facility of intercommunication which
has long been ardently desired ; and it will also afford the utmost fa-
cility of access to the innumerable visitors who, attracted as well by
the beauty of the scenery as the memory of Shakspearo, annually
resort to Stratford-on-Avon.
To those passengers from the east and north-east, direct to
Gloucester, the line from Tewkesbury, cutting off the angle of the
Birmingham and Gloucester Railway to Cheltenham, will afford a
great accommodation, and a saving in distance of at least eight miles,
besides the delay of the stoppage at Cheltenham.
At Tewkesbury it will also form a junction with the proposed lino
from that place to Malvern, affording the most direct communication
to the numerous visitors to the magnificent scenery and invigorating
atmosphere of the celebrated Malvern-las.
To the inhabitants of the ancient and populous borough of Tewkes-
bury, this portion of the proposed line will prove immensely advan-
tageous; situated within ten miles of the important city and pert of
Gloucester, they have nevertheless to travel by the present railway
route nearly twice that distance, an inconvenience which has
already materially affected the trade, and prejudiced the interests of
the town. The proposed line, running close to the town, will remove
this great 'neon', enience, and restore its trade to its former state of
Prosperity.
The value of this line to the city and port of Gloucester cannot
be too highly estimated, as it will not only open to it immense
sources of traffic from the whole of the eastern and north-eastern
counties, but will very materially lessen the distance between it
and Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire, making
Gloucester still more securely the nearest and most accessible outlet
for the whole of that immensely productive manufacturing region ,
and it is impossible to conceive any project better calculated to
ce the interests of Gloucester, than one capable of fleet I
that object.
This line will also form an important junction between the London
and Birmingham :and Midlands Railways, and the Bristol and
Glo
former,uces taaennrddßsoaofi Railway, and
eapintiodonrcothins.aeititute the highway for the traffic of the
a.hs,taeyrnatrcailliwoatey
traffic from the latter source alone is expected hvneneprydrotgrpno:eaetdinr.: Man-
chesterougthrough
will thus have the effect of nsiitatoombl
connecting the ports of the eastern and north-eastern with those of the western arid southern coasts ;
of affording the most direct and convenient access from the north
and east to the vast mineral regions of South Wales, and of opening
new markets for the rich products of the fertile valleys of the Avon
and Severe, and the agricultural districts of Warwickshire and Wor-
cestershire, in the manufacturing towns and ports of the north.
The line will be easy of Construction, traversing, as it does, through
nearly its whole length, the valleys of the Avon and Severn. the
towns through which It will run are verb' populous, and the country
of the richest description ; and the local traflle will consequently be
t in addition to the
mustnecessarily trough traffic, which on such a line
very
be very xtenhsive. e
The Provisional ComMlittee reserve to titelliSelves the power to
amalgamate with any other` eottiDatly as to the whole or any part of
the line, and to vary or Wend the line, and to increase or diminish
the capital accordingly, if deemed expedient. 8

The capital proposed to he raised 100
. upon which a deposit of 21. 2s. per share must be paid
upon allot-
went.

Should the Act for the London and York line be obtained, this
Company will avail itself of their line from Sutton-upon-Trent to
Newark, a distance of eight miles, leaving only about fifteen miles
of new railway to be made to complete this important line of
communication, through a rich agricultural valley of great beauty,
and possessing important local claims to railway accommodation.
If the above Company do not succeed in their undertaking, the
present projectors will occupy their ground from Sutton-upon-Trent
to Newark, and construct the whole line from Gainsborough to
Newark, for the accomplishment of which ample provision is se-
cured in their estimated capital.
The merits of this line are such as will require no extensive pa-
tronage for its support. The local interest it possesses will be found
sufficient to command a high station amongst the best railway pro-
jects of the day. All necessary preparations are made, and the
plans, &c., will be duly deposited, in compliance with the standing
orders of both Houses of Parliament, in order that the promoters
may bring their undertaking before the ensuing Parliament.
The estimate, which has been formed on the most liberal scale, to
frichtde the purchase of property, and all other expenses, will not
exceed 300,000/.
Application will be made in the 13111 to allow 4/. per cent. per
annum interest on deposit and calls until the completion of
the line.
Prospectuses may be obtained, and applications for shares made, to
G. P. Hill, Esq., and J. T. Sanders, Esq., at the temporary offices
of the Company, 11, Gray's Inn-square, London ; and to Arthur
Wells, Esq., solicitor, Nottingham; and to Arthur Ballantine, Esq.,
stock and sharebroker, I, Throgmorton-street, City.
Temporary Offices, 11, Gray's Inn-square.

The liability of the subscribers will be limited by the Act to the
amount of their respective subscriptions to the capital stock, and
power will be applied for in the Act to allow interest at the rate of
4/. per cent.per annum on the amount of the deposit, and upon the re-
spective calls, from the date of each payment until the opening of the
line.

The Subscribers' Agreement and the Parliamentary Contract will
be required, to be duly executed when the bankers' receipts are ex-
changed for certificates of scrip, of 'which due notice will be given ;
and the deposits paid by persons making default in due execution of
the Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract within the
time to be limited by such notice, will be absolutelyf orfeited.

The object of this line is to complete the only link wanting in the
chain of railway communication between the ports of Hastings,
Rye, ilythe, Folkestone, Sandwich, Dover, Ramsgate, Margate, and
Deal.
The railway already existing between Dover and Folkestone, and
those now forming by the South-Eastern Company in Kent, Sussex,
and the Isle of Thanet, and between the latter place and Deal, leave
a short distance of nine miles devoid of railway, which this Company
proposes to supply. Taken, however, in connexion with the proposed
Kent and Essex Union, and Dover, Hastings, and Brighton Junction,
it will perfect the entire coast line from the mouth of the Medway to
Pools.
The inhabitants of Hastings, Rye, Folkestone, Sandwich, Dover,
Deal, Ramsgate, and Margate, apart from the very advantageous
extension embraced by the above two schemes, will, by means of this
line, enjoy the benefits of a speedy, cheap, and direct intercourse with
each other, in powerful contrast to the present broken and tedious
route by land, or the unpleasant and lengthy sea-voyage round the
North and South Forelands.
It is anticipated that, beside the above advantages, increased im-
petus will be given to the trade of those places by thus intimately
connecting their respective interests.

The Directors have for some time past been in direct communica-
tion with the Belgian Government, and they have entered into a
preliminary arrangement, under date of the 27th of September, 1845,
with the Minister of public Works, by which the Minister grants to
them the preference for the concession of a railway, to be called the
" Grand Junction," and engages to conclude with the Directors a
provisional contract, previously to submitting the " Projet de loi "
for royal approbation, and also to apply for the sanction of the Legis-
lature. _ _ .

The valuable and important ironworks of Couvin will also, under
the same agreement, be ceded to the Company,
The Belgian Grand Junction Railway will directly connect the
provinces of Brabant, Hainault, Liege, Limbourg, and Namur, with
each other, and with the Government Rues of railway, as also with
the several lines of Liege and Namur, Landen and Hasselt, Louvain
and Jemeppe, Sambre and Meuse, and the Great Luxembourg
Mons. Marchal, the eminent Belgian engineer, has carefally sur-
veyed the line, and has deposited the necessary plans, sections, and
estimates with the Belgian Government.
Mr. James Thomson, one of the Company's engineers, has also
gone over the line, and reports most favourably upon the peculiar
facilities for the construction of the railway, and the entire absence
of all engineering difficulties.
The Chairman and two of the Directors have carefully traversed
the whole of the line, and have received the most positive assur-
ances of support from the local authorities and landed proprietors.
The provinces which the railway will unite were found by the
census of 1844 to comprise a population of 2,188 551, and the dis-
tricts which it will traverse are situated in the heart of Belgium,
and comprise an area of 165 square miles. The entire length of the
Belgian Grand Junction Railway will be 102 English miles.
This portion of the country is emphatically termed the Granary of
Belgium, and, in addition to its vast agricultural preduce, is rich in
ironstone, lead, marble, stone, and slate quarries. It has also nume-
rous distilleries. extensive breweries, ironworks, and large manufac-
tories of porcelain, glass, paper, Beetroot, sugar, gunpowder, &c.
The great coal-fields of Charleroi and Liege, which are the most ex-
tensive in Belgium, will, by means of this line, be enabled to supply
all parts of the kingdom at a very reduced rata.
The Government lines already completed, as well as the several
privete lines now in course of construction, will necessarily be the
feeders to the Grand Junction line, as it will unite with the whole of
them, and will traverse a district destitute of all water communica-
tion, and very imperfectly supplied with roads ; whilst the invariable
rule of the Belgian Government not to permit any competing lines,
must necessarily ensure to this Company the entire traffic of the
country through which this line will pass.
Tables, calculat:i with reference to the present amount oftrallic, have
been careffilly and accurately prepared ; and, upon the improbable as-
sumption that there will be no increase when the Grand Junction
Railway IS constructed, the shareholders would even then receive a
large interest on their capital. But, as in all cases, and more parti-
cularly in Belgium, Increased facilities of communication have been
accompanied by a great increase of traffic, there can be no doubt
that the Grand Junction Railway Company wall pay a considerable
dividend to the shareholders.
The expense Of construction, and the subsequent expenses of work-
ing the line, are very Much less than in English railways ; and it is
an important feature that the enormous outlay incident to a Parlia-
mentary contest in England is avoided.
A considerable saving will also be effected in the cost of iron, and
of the locomotive engines and traffic material, which will be manufac-
tured at the Couvin works ; and tie Company have, therefore, the
peculiar advantage of being independent of a supply from any other
quarter, and free from the delay and disappointment consequent upon
the present increased demand.
The grant will be for ninety years, and the Act will provide that
the railway shall, for the whole term, be exempt from all rates and
charges whatsoever, whether local or national.
By the law of Belgium, this Company will be constituted a
Societe Anonyme, and the liability of each shareholder will be
limited to the amount of his respective shares.
A second payment of 21. per share will be required one month after
the Concession shall have been ratified by the Directors, and the
subsequent calls will be made at such periods as the Directors may
determine.
An accountable receipt will be given to each subscriber on payment
of his deposit, which receipt must be exchanged for certificates for
shares, at the office of the Company, within twenty-one days after
the first appearance of an advertisement requiring such exchange ;
such advertisement to be inserted once in the London Gazette, and
three times in each If two daily Morning London newspapers. The
non-compliance with this condition will entail on the subscriber the
forfeiture of his deposits.
Notice of calls will be given by advertisement in the London Ga-
zette, and two daily Morning London newspapers; and if any call on
any share shall remain unpaid for twenty-one days after the day
named, the share shall become absolutely forfeited.
Interest at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum will be paid upon
the amount of capital paid up, such interest to b.: calculated from the
time of obtaining the Act of the Legislature until the opening of
the line.
All points of detail will, under the terms of the Convention and
Act, be settled between the Belgian Government and the Directors;
and it is one of the conditions on which the shares will be appor-
tioned and accepted, that the subscribers confide to the Directors full
power to make such arrangement with the Belgian Government with
respect to any alterations or modifications of the line, and of the
terms of the grant, as they may think expedient for the furtherance
of the interests of the Company.

Cornwall has long been struggling to procure the benefits of rail•
way communication, but divisions amongst its friends have for
several successive years prevented any scheme from being carried
out.

At length, on the 20th August last, at a full county meeting at
Bodmin, presided over by the High Sheriff, it was unanimously
resolved :—" That the general interests of the county of Cornwall, as
well as of the public at large, absolutely require that no trunk line
should be sanctioned through the county which does not afford the
most direct, central, safe, and continuous railway communication
from Falmouth and Penzance to London." This decision, in con-
junction with the appearance of the scheme of the North Devon
Company, has appeared to the promoters of the Great Western
and Falmouth Junction railway, to present a favourable opportunity
for bringing before the public a Central Line, on the broad gunge,
which, by the combination of four powerful companies, is now, it
may be said, brought almost to the boarders of Cornwall.
The Great Western railway, already open to Exeter, is now being
extended to Crediton, and from thence the North Devon Company
intend to construct a main line to join their north and south Devon
line, in the neighbourhood of Hatherleigh, thirty miles directly west
from Exeter, and about seventy miles from Falmouth.
The Great Western and Falmouth Junction 'Railway will com-
mence near Hatherleigh, and will be about seventy miles in length,
and form a direct extension of the line from Crediton to that place,
proposed by the North Devon Company, and will thence proceed by
Launceston, Bodmin, and Truro to Falmouth ; and in order to pre-
serve the old line of communication from Cornwall to 'Plymouth, ad-
mitted to be of great local importance, a bran will will run from the
main line near Bodmin, through or near Liskearil, to join the South
Devon and Tavistock Railway, near Plymouth. '
_ _

By means of this railway, and the North Devon, Credidto and
Exeter, Bristol and Exeter, sad Great Western Railways, there will
be a direct and unbi oken line on the broad gauge :from Falmouth
through Exeter, to London, on the one hand, and to Plymouth and
the South Coast on the other; and it will also be connected with the
railways and canals already existing in Cornwall, and, by branches,
with all the most important towns in that county and the North of
Devon. It is also intended that the line shall be the best in engineer-
ing qualities which the natural formation of the country will allow,
and that the formidable difficulties, which induced the Board of Traci,
to report to Parliament against the late Cornwall and Devon Ceatrai
line, shall be avoided.
This scheme has a decided advantage of er any other at present
proposed for giving to Cornwall the benefits of railway cdmmunicam
tion, and is the only line which can with certainty effect the object
to which the county became pledged, by the resolution of the 20th of
August last—no other line affords " direct, central, safe and con-
tinuous railway communication from Falmouth and Penzance to
London." The Cornwall and Devon Central Railway will not en-
sure a continuous line from Falmouth to London, until three other
independent Companies shall have succeeded in obtaining their
Bills ; and these projected lines have also to contend against the op-
position of through and integral lines from London to Exeter. Tim
West of England below Exeter, is obviously the country of the
broad gauge, and there is no probability that Parliament will sanction
the introduction of any other gauge into that district, which would be
productive of endless confusion and inconvenience. With the South
Devon line on the one hand, the projected North Devon line on the
other, the Exeter and Creditors and its projected extension westward
to Hatherleigh, and the West Cornwall line from Truro to Penzance,'
all on the broad gauge, and all projected or supported by the
Great Western, and its associated Companies—there can be
little doubt that no narrow gauge line will be permitted to run
parallel with those already sanctioned by the legislature, or proposed
for the further accommodation of the country by such influential
companies. In order fully to comply with the expressed wishes of
the county of Cornwall and to secure that " direct, central, safe, and
continuous railway communication" so much required, the present
line has been projected, and will, when completed, form the Central
link of the great series of lines already under the direction of the
Great Western, and the other associated Companies. It is therefore
confidently presumed that no other scheme for connecting Cornwall
and West Devon with the Metropolis, and the North of England,
can compete with the present line with any probability of success,
presenting as this line does the prominent points of national and local
advantage, and possessing all the elements essential to command the
favourable consideration of Parliament.

As a work of national importance, it has been long admitted that a
line o f railway to the important Port of Falmouth must be carried
out ; the promoters of this railway do not, therefore, think it neces-
sary to repeat the here the highly satisfactory results of the traffic
over the line, which were long since ascertained. It is sufficient to
say, they prove an ample return on the capital to be invested.
The survey is in progress, and will be completed in time to apply to
Parliament in the ensuing Session ; and the promoters having already
received highly satisfactory assurances of support, as well local as
general, feel justified in expressing their conviction that their appli-
cation will be crowned with success.

—.
The capital will be divided into 50,000 shares of 251. each, upon
which a deposit of 21. 12s. 6d. per share must be paid npon the allot-
ment. Power will be taken to pay interest on the deposit, and all
calls till the line is opened ; and no subscriber will be liable for more
than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then
not beyond the amount of his subscription.
Preference will be given, in the allotment, to landowners, to local
applicants, and to parties holding shares in the Great Western, Bristol
and Exeter, Exeter and Crediton, North Devon, and West Cornwall
Railways.
Applications for shares, in the form annexed, to be addressed to
the Solicitors of the Company ; or to any respectable brokers in town
or country.
