gpalmtttees of Direction of these undertakings have great
-In acquainting the Shareholders, that they have made
istlxtn4„tith for the lease in perpetuity of both railways, as soon
Mall have received the sanction of Parliament to the
Sheffield, Ashton-nnder-Lyne, and Manchester Railway Company,
at an annual rent of 5 per cent. on the cost of the lines, such rent
to become and remain 5% per cent. as soon as the net profits
realise that return ; and the further profits to be equally divided
between both parties.
The Directors confidently anticipate the certainty of the success
of both projects in Parliament, in consequence of the unusually
powerful local support which the undertakings have already ob-
tained, and the great assistance from other influential parties,
which the above arrangement with a company already incorporated
has secured, following out, as it does fully, the suggestions of the
Board of Trade in connexion with the legitimate extensions east-
ward of the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne, and Manchester Railway.

rt is proposed by this Company to establish a direct line of commu-
nlep.Voli hAween Birmingham, Nottingham, Gainshorough, and Hull,
at the smani,st outlay of capital, and with the leant possible injury to
e::lstin3 In t.7rests. To effect this object, use Will be made of existing
or proje,,t;yl lines;, as far as practicable, and the chain of communica-
tion win be completed by throwing out ne' lines, where requisite.
Coram9iyMng at Birmingham, it is proposed to use the Birmingham
and Derby Hallway es far as Whitacre, whence a new line, about 29
lines, inlength, will be made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and
c eine Doimington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid-
land Counties Railway
the communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will be
can forward as far as Gainsborough, either by the proposed Not-
tingham and Ciainsboron,qh Railway, or by a line springing out of the
line t: one Nottingham to Lincoln, for which an Act was obtained by
the Ilk:land Counties Company during the last session of Parliament.
en Galnaborough this railway will proceed to Barton-on-the-
Humber, or New Holland, in the immediate vicinity of Ha, thereby
rendering complete and entire the chain of communication between
Eirminghain 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 and Alrewas, a
direct line from -Wolverhampton and Dudley to Nottiagham. and
the other towns already enumerated.
The support of several companies will be enlisted in favour of the
lice, which, together with its own merits, will ensure its success in
Parliament.

As a conllderable 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.
Independently of the advantages to be derived by a direct commu-
nication between the Important seaport of Hull and the mining and
manufacturii4 districts of Warwickshire and Staffordshire, a large
traffic in. timber, earn, metals, &c., may be confidently expected.

, .
The revenue of the Company, in addition, will be derived from the
green thorough traffic from Birmingham and the midland counties to
.Nottingham and Gainsborough, and the immense traffic from Bir-
mingham to Hull, the port at which the exports are shipped to ?lam-
burgh, the German States, and the Nprth of Europe ; and from the
conveyance 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 and
shareholders in railways interested in supporting this undertaking.
No subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of the deposit
until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his
subscription.
The usual power will be taken to allow interest at the rate of four
per eent. from the time of payment upon each call until the opening
of the lines.

No applications will be attended is without a reference to a
member of Um Committee, a banker, r..r the solicitors to this Company.
The Subscribers' Agreement an..l Parliamentary Contract must be
executed when the bankers' rece.i.pti are exchanged for scrip certifi-
cates, of which due notice will. be given ; and the deposits paid by
any party making default 111.',1ae execution of those deeds will be for-
fe!ted.
