It is pro Posed by this Company to establish a direct line of commu-
nication between Birmingham, Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hull.
at the smallest outlay of capital, and with the least possible injury to
existing interests. To effect this object, use will be made of existing
or projected lines, as far as practicable, and the chain of communica-
tion will be completed 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 he made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and
Castle Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid-
land Counties Railway

'I he communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will be
carried ,orward as far as Gainsborough, either by the proposed Not-
tingh sin and Gainsborough Railway, or by a hue springing out of the
line ffoni :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-
Htimber,ror New Holland, in the immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby
rendering complete and entire the chain of communication between
Birral,Ninun and Hull.
By 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;
and by means of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Railway,
and the intended extension to Ashby-de-la-Zouch, a direct line from
Wolvc,r'tampton to Nottingham, and the other towns already
emu-
nwrate

The .li-iport of Feveral companies will be enlisted in favour of the
which, together with its own merits, will eumre its success in
Parliament.

AA a considerable portion of the line of communication is already
made, or in progress, the time required for the completion of this
great national undertaking will be materially shortened.
iii lepett ly of the advantages to be derived by a direct COITUTIII-
r letition between the Important seaport of Hull and the mining and
manufacturing districts of Warwickshire and Staffordshire, a large
traffic in:timber, corn, metals, &c., may be confidently expected.
11,te revenue of the Company, in addition, will be derived from the
great thorough traffic from Birmingham and the midland counties to
:Cottingbain awl Gainsborough, and the immense traffic from Bir-
mingham to Hull, the'port at which the exports are shipped to Ham-
bunt, the German States, and the North of Europe ; and from the
conteynnee of merchandise, agricultural produce, and cattle from the
Southern, western, and midland counties.
A preference will be given in the allotment of shares to landowners
on the line, and other local proprietors, as well as to directors awl
share!iolders in railways interested in supporting this undertaking.
wtbscriber will be liable beyond the amount of the deposit
unta the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his
ttbauiption.

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 We line.

No applications will be attended to without a reference to a
ineittber of the Committee, a banker, or the solicitors to this Company.
The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be
executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip certifi-
cate% cf which due notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by
any party making default in the execution of those deeds will be for-
feited. - -
