NAMUR. AND LIEGE RAILWAY WITH
EXTENSIONS.

The Directors hereby give Notice, that the final ALLOTMENT
of:SHAMES of this Company having taken place, the respective
parties will receive their letters of allotment forthwith—that
MONDAY, the 21st inst. is fixed for the payment of the deposit upon
such Shares, and that no money will be received by the Bankers of
the Company after that day.
The Directors take this opportunity of expressing their regret,
that owing to the many well-founded claims which have been made
upon them, by most influential persons In Belgium, for Shares hi
this Company, and the numerous applications they have received,
they have been unable to allot Shares to many desirable parties,
and compelled to limit, much more than they wished, the amounts
allotted to each. By order,

SOLICITOR—S. S. Baxter, Esq., Atherstone
This Railway is projected to give a direct line of communication
between Leicester and Birmingham, and across the country from
east to w,.at, in connexion with the Midland, Syston, and Peter-
borough, and the Gloucester and Bristol Railways.
It will also, by means of the Trent Valley and Churnet Valley
Railways, open a direct communication between Leices:er and the
South-Eastern Districts, and Manchester, Liverpool, and Ireland.
It will also accommodate the important local traffic between Lei-
cester and Birmingham, including the intermediate towns of Ifincli-
ley, Nuneaton, and Atherstone, a district containing a population
of upwards of 40,000, chiefly engaged in manufactures ; and open a
communication with the extensive and valuable mines of Coal and
Ironstone in the Oldbury and Ausley fields, hitherto rendered almost
useless fur want of the means of transit.
In addition to this local traffic, this line will have the great advan-
tage, through its branch, of extending and securing the valuable Coal
traffic arising on the Swannington and Leicester Railway, opening a
direct communication along the Midland Railway with the southern
markets.

The main line will save a distance of ten miles between Leicester
and Birmingham.

The length of the main line, which this Company proposes to con-
struct, is about eighteen miles, and the branch line eight miles. The
main line is intended to commence by a junction with the Midland
Counties Railway at the Broughton Astley Station, and passing near
to the towns of Hinekley and Nuneaton, to unite with the Trent
Valley Railway at the latter town, and proceed along the same to
near the town of Atherstone, and from thence to the Birmingham
and Derby Railway, forming a junction therewith at the Whitacre
Station. The branch line will commence at the Broughton Astley
Station, and terminate by a junction with the Swannington and
Leicester Railway, near to Desford
