! thereby completing, by means of the York and North Midland Rail-
way, the shortest route from York to Nottingham and London. It
Will also, by the proposed extension line of the Wakefield, Pontefract
and Goole, from the York and North Midland, near Methley, form
the nearest line between Leeds. Nottingham, the Midland and South-
ern Counties, and by the Goole and Doncaster line, an uninterrupted
communication with Goole and the shipping ports of the Humber.
It will also form a means of communication with the severalpro-
jected lines, to the rising port of Great Grimsby.
It is a remarkable feature in this line, that there is no competing
scheme, nor does it at all interfere with any ornamental or residen-
tial property.
It is not considered essential to enter into the details of traffic; the
value of the lines in the district, in that respect, is a sufficient test of
its extent, in addition to which, the railway will become the recipient
of much of the northern traffic, arising from the numerous branches
with which it is connected, and mus; also become the Grand Trunk
Line to London from the Western parts of Yorkshire.
By the Subscribers' Agreement, authority will be given to the Di-
rectors to enter into such arrangements with existing Companies
as may appear to them expedient.
A preference will be given in the allotment to the shareholders in
the adjacent lines, which fact, with particulars, must be stated in
heir applications.
Application for shares may be made in the usual form, to the Se-
cretary ; solicitors ; Messrs. Thompson and Debenham, Salters'-hall,
London, and to the local agents, and the following brokers : —London,

This important line of railway, commencing at the port of Gains-
borough, is intended to pass along the Trent hat by Sturton-le-Steeple,
North Leverton, South Leverton, Treswell, Hampton, Laneham,
Dunham, Regia, Fleetborough, Marnham, Normanton, irasstliorpe,
Sutton-upon-Trent, Carlton, Cromwell, Norwell, Bathley, North
Muskham, Little Carlton, Kelham, Newark, and thence to Notting-
ham, by the existing Midlands branch, making the total distance to
Nottingham thirty-nine miles; thus effecting, by twenty-four miles
of new railway, a direct line from Gainsborough to Nottinghant,
which will connect Derby, Birmingham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the
west of England generally, with 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
mast direct, economical, and speedy of any railway that can be
made.

Should the Act for the London and York line he obtained, this
Company will avail itself of their line for the first eight miles out of
Newark, leaving only about fifteen miles of new railway to
be made to complete this important line of communication; but if
the London and York Company fail in obtaining their Act, this Com-
pany will have s .ffieient funds, and ,be prepared to complete the en-
tire line from Gainsborough to Newark.
It is flat, and free from any engineering difficulty- or obstruction ;
and it avoids any bridge over the Trent, which would alone absorb
an amount equal to one-half of the capital required to complete the
present undertaking. There are no tunnels or expensive cuttings
necessary ; nor does it interfere with any residential property ; and
the expense of formation will be much below the average cost, as
compared with other lines.
The estimate of cost, which has been formed on the most liberal
scale. to include the purchase of property, and all other expenses,
• will not exceed 300,0001.
All necessary preparations are made, and the plans, &c., will be
duly deposited, in compliance with the standing orders of bathhouses
of Parliament, in order that the promoters may bring their under-
taking before the ensuing Parliament.
Application will be made In the Bill to allow 41. per cent. par
annum interest on the deposits and calls until the completion of
the line.

Prospectuses may be obtained, and applications for shares made, to
G. P. 11111, 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 ,
