It is proposed by this Company to establish a direct line of commu-
nication between Birmingham, Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hull,
at the sallest outlay of capital, and with the least possible injury to
existingm 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.
oucan
Commencing at Birmingham, it is proposal to use the Birmingham
manifllesDienrbley Railway n r whencegh A a

carried ,orward as far as Gainsborough, either by the proposed Not-
The communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will be
tingham and Gainsbomugh 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
rendering complete and entire the chain of communication between
Birmingham and Hull.
By this project the advantages will result to the public of a
Direct line from Birmingham to Nottingham,
Birmingham to Gainsborough,
and 'irom 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
Wolverhampton to Nottingham, and the other towns already enu-
merated.
The support of several companies will be enlisted in favour of the
whicii, together with its own merits, will ensure its success in
Parliament.
As 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.
Independently of the advantages to be derived by a direct commu-
nication 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.
The revenue of the Company, in addition, will be derived from the
great 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 Ham-
burgh, the German States, and the North of Europe ; and from the
conveyance of merchandise, agricultnral 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 he 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 cent, from the time of payment upon each call until the opening
of the line.
No applications will be attended to without a reference to a
member 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-
cates, of which due notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by
