7 t is proposed by this Company to establish a direct line of comma-
rsic Ltion between Birmingham, Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hull,
at t he stgallefA outlay of capital, and with the least possible injury to
ey.b:ting interests. To effect this object, use will be made of existing
or projected linen, as far as practicable, and the chain of cemmunica-
tio:t will be c!impleted by throwing out new lines, where requisite.
Commencing at Birmingham, it is proposed to use the Birmingham
and Derby Railway as far as Whitacre, whence a new line, about 29
miles in length, will be made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and
Castle Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid-
land Counties Railway
Ihe communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will be
ear, ted forward as tar ai Gainsborough, either by the proposed Not-
tingham and Gainsborough Railway, or by a line springing out of the
line from Nottingham to Lincoln, for which an Act was obtained by
the Midland Counties Company during the last session of Parliament.
From Gainsborough this railway will prOceed to Barton-on-the-
Humber, or New Holland, in the immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby
ren.lering complete and entire the chain of communication between
Birmingham and Hull.

E y this project the advantages will result to the public of a
Direct line from Birmingham to Nottingham,
Birmingham to Gainsborough,
and from Birmingham to Hull;
zad by means of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Railway,
and the intended extension to Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Alrewas, a
direct line from Wolverhampton and Dudley to Nottingham,, and
the other towns already enumerated.
1 he support of several companies will be enlisted in favour of the
use, which, together with its own merits, will ensure its sumo in
l'ar ;lament.

.A 3 a considerable portion of the line of communication is already
male, or in progress, the time required for the completion of this
ire .t national undertaking will be materially shortened.
Independently of the advantages to be derived by a direct cemmu-
Nication between the important seaport of Hull and the mining and
manufacturing districts of Warwickshire and Staffordshire, a large
thine in timber, corn, metals, &c., may be confidently expected.
The revenue of the Company, in addition, will be derived from the
great thorough traffic from Birmingham and the midland counties to
Nottingnam and Gairishorough, and the immense trent) from Bir-
Mizell= to Hull, the port at which the exports are shipped to Ram-
bural, the German States, and the North of liurope ; and from the
con •eyance of merchandise, agricultural produce, and cattle from the
pov kern, western, and midland counties.
A preference will be given in the allotment of shares to landowners
Su the line, and other local proprietors, as well as to directors and
she :•ehoiders in railways interested in supporting this undertaking.
No subscriber will he liable beyond the amount of the deposit
n il the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his
gut 4cription.

_ ...,..
Ile usual power will be taken to allow interest at the rate of four
per cent. from the time of payment upon each call until the opening
of the lines. _ .

No applications will be attended to without a reference to a
rat •nber of the Committee, a banker, or the solicitors to this Company.
The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be
ex, cuted when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip certifi-
cates, of which due notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by
an, party making default in the execution of those deeds will be for-
.
