Thb line *lll Mitheita at the Long Eaton /Ration of the Midland
Counties Railway, and will proceed id A durst line to or near Castle
Donington, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Measham, and Mittkdt Bosworth to
Nuneaton; joining, at Market Bosworth, the Birmingham branch,
projected by the Tamworth and Leicester Company, and at Nuneaton,
the projected Coventry, Nuneaton, Birmingham, and Leicester
Rail With at the point Where that line crosses the Trent Talley line.
Thus a direct coitiriiiiiiiedficitt will tie formed between the important
towns of Nottingham, Newark, and Llitecilit en the one aide, and
Birmingham, Coventry, and Warwick on the other side, it tYs came
time a rich mineral and agricultural district will be supplied With
railway advantages.

4. referee° td the Mgr will show that this railway will also sans-
nand other collateral
There is no doubt that the proposed raiiiidyetififlinnlcatlon be-
tween Cheltenham and Warwick will te effected, in which dditi fhb
proposed line will fill ap the railway chasm at preseat existing be-
tween the counties of Gloucester and Worcester, and Nottinghaza
and Lincoln. ind ittiig fclntt a direct line ftom the Severn at Glouces-
ter to the Humber at Great Grimsby. dttelgametion of the Great
Grimsby and Sheflield Junction with the Grintsbfr Company
being now determined on, a large amount of capital will be expended
In rendering (treat Grimsby a port of the first importance ; and it
must be obViOUS that the troll° to that port, from the district south-
west of irar wick, will be very great.

The distance saved by the proposed lino betWaff! Leamington,
WartfiCk, COf entfy, and Nottingham, will be about twenty MRCS;
and between Birmingham and Nottingham, the saving will be about
six milts. Being the shortest "roetto from Birmingham to Not-
tingharn and tinrons, It ttinst iteure the tram, from Birmingham to
Nottingham, Newark, Lincoln, and the port Of Great Grimsby ; and
by joining with the Erewash Valley Railway at Long Eaton. it Must
omit:hand the traffic from Coventry, Warwick, and the district south
of tittles towns to IChefiield, Leeds, York, and the north of Eng!and
generally: It Will also afford a direct communication between Not-
tingliarel arid tile distriet bet•+-een Warwick and Worcester, by means
elf the projected Worcester, Warwick, and Rugby, and the Warwick.
and Worcester Railways.
The entire length of the line will be about 2.11 miles. The Com-
pany's F.tiElheer has completed his preliminary survey, and has
made lily report, that the character of the -country through which
the line is intended to pass is unusually favourable for engineering
purposeS.
It passes directly through a very productive mineral district, in-
tersecting the Leicestershire coal-fields and lime-works, and will
afford communication north and south, to the Derbyshire Potteries.
With such an assured immediate and prospective amount of traffic,
the profit, en the small capital required cannot fail to he re•
rsunerative. . _ _

Powers fir all,wance of interest at Pour per cent. on the paid-np
capital will be taken, and the liability of skarebalders limited to the
amount of their subscriptions.
