This Company is formed for the purpose of tendering, in conjunction
with a French Company which shall provide an adequate amount of
capital, for either of the Three Great Lines of Railway from the North
to the South of France, namely, from Paris to the Belgian frontier,
from Paris to Lyons, and from Lyons to Avignon, with their respective
branches.

The first and principal object of this Company, however, is to ten-
der for the Great North Line, for which purpose it has formed a
unioo. with Decan's French Company, entitled,
" COMPAGNIE DU NORD,"

which has been duly constituted in France; and is under the direc-
tion and management of the following influential parties :

The distinguishing feature of this Company is, that the Share-
holders, for the single deposit paid upon their shares, will have three
chances of success in their investment, with a guarantee arising from
this circumstance that their interests will not be jeopardised by the
temptation to offer on terms not remunerative.
The moiety of the Capital required for the Great North Line has
already been subscribed in France, through the agency of Decan's
Company, and deposit monies, amounting to 320,0001. sterling, have
been actually paid up and invested in Bonds of the Royal Treasury of
France, deposited in the Bank of France, bearing interest.
Pending the negotiation and tender for the concession, a Joint
Committee, composed of equal numbers of the respective Boards, is
invested with Hill powers to do every thing needful to effect com-
pliance with the misting or any future laws of France relating to
railways, and to make such terms, conditions and arrangements, and
perform all sueh acts, as they may consider likely to promote the
Interests of the United Company, and the success of the undertaking.
