SECRETARY—JOhn DCllniStoll, ESQ.
The Committee of Direction beg to announce, that having instructed
their Engineer to estimate for the working stock, as well as for the
cost of way of their projected extensions to Sleaford and Grantham,
hey find that the requisite capital will amount to 375,0001., and that
they will thus have 5,000 Shares to dispose of, after giving all the
Scripholders one new or extension Share for every two original
Shares, as at first intimated. Of these 5,000 Shares they have also
resolved to allot a number, not exceeding 2,000, among the Land-
owners and other influential parties locally interested in the exten•
sions ; and to sell the remainder at their discretion for the benefit of
the Company.
Scripholders who are desirous to obtain the new Sharestowvihrthh
they are entitled, are requested to leave their name and address
their Scrip Certificates, on any day previous to the 3d of May next,
at the Committee Rooms, No. 31, Parliament-street, Westminster,
with the Secretary, who will give a receipt for the same; and on the
follovving day the Scrip Certificates will be returned with a letter of
allotment for the new Shares.
All parties who do root apply, as above, for new Shares, will for-
feit their right to them ; and all Shares thus forfeited will be sold
under the direction of the Committee, for the benefit of the Company.
Landholders and others locally interested in the extensions, who
wish to hold Shares, are requested to send their applications to Mau-
rice P. Moore, Esq., Sleatord, for the consideration of the Local
Committee, and no application will be received after Wednesday, the
30th April current.
The Secretary will attend promptly to any coMmunicatiOn by
letter, but all letters, with their enclosures, will be at the risk of the
parties who send them, both in the transmission to and from the
Committee Rooms ; and it is recommended that all letters, &c., be
sent by post and registered.

This undertaking connecting itself at Chesterfield with the ex-
isting and projected Midland itailwas, and passing through Mans-
field, Southwell, Newark-on-Trent, and thence to bleaford and Bos-
ton, will form a continuous and direct communication between the
agricultural and producing districts of Nottinghamshire and the
South-Eastern parts of the kingdom, as far as the sea coast on the
one hand, and the large consuming towns and districts of West
Yorkshire, Lancashire, Clieshhe, and the Port of Liverpool on
the other.

...„
A careful examination of the country through which this Line will
pass, by Engineers of acknowledged eminence, enables the pro-
moters to state, that it may be constructed with facility, and that its
character is such as to justify a confidence that it must prove highly
remunerative to the Proprietary, taking into consideration the great
amount of traffic which must necessarily pass along it, whether as
regards passengers, merchandise, and agricultural produce, or mi-
neials, inasmuch as the Gistrict is not provided with any means of
traims't beyond the ordinary turm mpike roads.
Tills Line, intended to communicate with the existing Mansfield
and einxton Rniie et Mansfield, will term the:nearest and most di-
rect route that can be made, between the agricultural districts to the
east and south-east of Newark, and the great central coal-fields of
Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, and thus enable the inhabitants of
those extensive districts to supply thsanselves with coals of every
quality at considerably less than two-thiids of the present price.
The whole country, north, south, and east, will, by this Railway,
and the others with which it will communicate, be brought within
easy reach of the well-known quarries of building stone with which
the district of Mansfield and Mansfield Woodhouse abounds ; as well
as with the lime produced iu that neighbourhood, so celebrated for
building aad other purposes.
A deposit of 1/. 10s. per Share must be paid on the allotment of
Shares, and the liability of Subscribers will be htmled by the Act
of Parliament to the amount of their respective :glares.
Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at the rate of 41.
per cant. per annum on time deposits, as well as on all future calls,
from the date of each payment till the opening of the whole hue, or
until a dividend be declared.
The Shares, and all payments made thereon, will be forfeited,
without notice, should the holders thereof not sign the Subscriber's
Agreement, and Parliamentary Contract, as soon as required
to do so.
References will be required front all applicants for Shares who
are not known to sonic Members of the Committee, or the Solicitors.

This project, whether viewed as a means of private investment, or
as a great public undertaking, presents advantages seldom equalled.
Forming a junction at Stourport with the London, Worcester, and
South Staffordshire Railway, the proposed Railway will pass up the
valley of the Severn, and through, or in the immediate neighbour-
hood of, Bewdley, Kidderminster, Bridgnorth, Much Wenloek,
Madeley, Iron-bridge, Coal Brook Dale, to Shrewsbury, and thence
near Market Drayton, Andlem, and Nantwich, to Crewe, where it
will terminate by a junction with the Manchester and Birmingham,
and Grand Junction Railways.
Besides giving the above exceedingly populous and thriving places
the benefit of a direr communication with each other, and railway
accommodation to a district now entirely destitute of it, the proposed
railway will else establish the shortest route from the -North of
England, Manchester, Liverpool, Ireland, Holyhead, North Wales,
and Chester (through Shrewsbury), to Worcester, Cheltenham,
Gloucester, South Wales, Bristol, Bath, Exeter, Falmouth, and the
south-western counties, and moreover will form the high-road into
the centre of Wales from the northern and midland counties.
Thus, the manufactures and minerals of the extensive and rapidly
Increasing iron works, and collieries of Shropshire, and the salt works
of Cheshire, as well as the immense agricultural produce from those
counties, the Valley of the Severn, Herefordshire, and the centre of
Wales, will reach the markets and ports of Lancashire, Worcester-
shire, Gloucestershire, Devonshire, and Cornwall, by a rapid and
cheap transit.
It is considered that the present traffic between the various towns
on the line of the proposed railway will secure a profitable return
upon the capital ; but when the increase which will arise from the
completion of the railway, and the through-traffic consequent thereon
are taken into account, there can be no doubt that the undertaking
will prove one of the most desirable investments in the kingdom.
As the line from Stourport to Shrewsbury will traverse the Valley
of the Severn, the works in that district must of necessity be light
and easy ; the country also between Shrewsbury and Crewe is well
adapted for the cons ruction of a railway.
