This important line of railway, commencing at the port of Gains-
borough, isintended to pass along the Trent flat by Bole, Sttirton-le-
Steeple , North Leverton, South Leverton, Treswell, Rampton, Lane-
ham, Dunham, Ragnal, Fleetborough, Marnham, Normanton, Grass-
thorpe, Sutton-upon-Trent, Carlton, Cromwell, Norwell, Bathley,
North Muskham, to Newark, and thence to Nottingham, by the
existing Midlands branch, making the total distance to Nottingham
forty-one miles or thereabouts ; thus effecting a direct line from
Gainsborongh to Nottingham, which will connect Derby, Birming-
ham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the west of England generally, with
Gainsborongh, Goole, Hull, and Great Grimsby.
The object of the promoters of this railway is to afford to existing
interests an opportunity of uniting to secure the immense traffic
which exists along this line in its original and legitimate course, via
Newark-upon-Trent to Nottingham. They propose no unfair inter-
ference with the rights and properties of vested companies, but, by
cutting off the angles and curves of the river, render the route the
mast direct, economical, and speedy of any railway that can be
made. It is free from any engineering difficulty or obstruction.
There are no tunnels or expensive cuttings necessary; nor does it
interfere with any residential property; and the expense of forma-
tion will be much below the average cost, as compared with other
lines.
Should the Act for the London and York line be obtained, this
Company will avail itself of their line frcm Sutton-upon-Trent to
Newark, a distance of eight miles, leaving only about fifteen miles
of new railway to be made to complete this important line of
communication, through a rich agricultural valley of great beauty,
and possessing important local claims to railway accommodation.
If the above Company do not succeed in their undertaking, the
prssent projectors will occupy their ground from Sutton-upon-Trent
to Newark, and construct the whole line from Gainsborough to
Newark, for the accomplishment of which ample provision is se-
cured in their estimated capital.
The merits of this line are such as will require no extensive pa-
tronage for its support. The local interest it possesses will be found
sufficient to command a high station amongst the best railway pro-
jects of the day. All necessary preparations are made, and the
plan% &c., will be duly deposited, in compliance with the standing
orders of both Houses of Parliament, in order that the pronloters
may bring their undertaking before the ensuing Parliament..
The estimate, which has been formed on the most liberal scale, to
include the purchase of property, and all other expenses, will not
exceed 300,0001. .1
Application will be made in the Bill to allow 4/. per cent. per
annum interest on deposit and calls until the completion of
the line. _ • .

Prospectuses may be obtained, and applications for shares made; to
G. P. Hill, Esq., and J. T. Sanders, Esq , at the temporary offices
