and the Eastern Counties, thus :—To the south of Mansfield, the
Mansfield and Plnxton and Erewash Valley Railways, will develope
the Portland, Pinxton, Swanwick, Riddings, Butterley, Shipley,
Eastwood, and other collieries —to the West, the Clay Cross branch
of the Nottingham and Mansfield Railway opens the Skegby,
Tib-
shelf, Clay Cross, and Wingerwerth Pits—and from the North, the
Staveley, Duckmanton, Sutton Scarsdale, and other extensive col-
lieries, as wet as iron works, will be brought into the market ; thus
securing to the public that great desideratum, a wholesome competi-
tion in one of the chief necessaries of life.

3d. The nearest point of the coal field to Lincolnshire being thus
opened, besides the great boon of supplying that county and the
neighbouring districts with coals at a greatly reduced price a large
export trade from the great shipping port of Boston may be reason-
ably expected ; and in these respects no railway existing or projected
holds out the prospects of similar advantages
4th. While no other line approaches the coal field at so near a
point to the eastward, and at the same time passes direct through
the centre of an agricultural county so rich and unoccupied, it also
opens quarries of the most valuable building stone, lime, &c.—Mans-
field and Bolsover Moor —and thus brings into direct communication
those valuable minerals of which the whole district east and south-
east of Newark is destitute.

Surveys of the whole line twain a most forward state, and will be
shown to any party interested, and wishing for information. A Map
of the line will be published shortly.

The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance and co-operation of
those companies with whose lines of railway they communicate, and
as the Boston, Newark and Sheffield line must prove a valuable
feeder to them all, they hope that this appeal will not be deemed
altogether unworthy of attention.

Holders of Newark and Sheffield and Extension Shares, will be
entitled to an equal number of shares in the new Company, ill ex-
change for their scrip certificates or bankers' receipts, which mast
be sent immediately to the secretary, at Mansfield, accompanied by
a form of application, which will be supplied by post to those who
have not already received it.

They, as well as landowners ang others locally interested on the
line, will receive a preference in the allotment or tne aamtionat
shares.

Parties who do not apply for an exchange of shares, before the first
day of September next, will forfeit their right to them, and be held
as having withdrawn from the undertaking.
In order to comply with the standing orders of Parliament, which
now require a deposit of ten per cent. instead of five per cent. as
formerly, a further payment must he made of It. 2s. Gd. on each
share exchanged for an old ; and on the additional shares a deposit
of 21. 12s. 6d. each.

Power will be taken in the Act to allow Interest at the rate of 41.
per cent. per annum on the deposits, as well as on all future calls,
from the date of each payment till the opening of the whole line,
or until a dividend be declared, and the liability of subscribers will
be limited by the Act of Parliament to the amount of their respective
shares.

The Shares, and all payments made thereon, will be forfeited,
without notice, should the holder thereof not sign the subscribers'
agreement and parliamentary contract as soon as required.
References will be required from all new applicants for shares,
who are not known to some members of the Committee or to the
solicitors.
