It is proposed 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
lines, inlength, 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

The communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will be
Carried forward as far as Gainsborougb, 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
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 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,
direct line from Wolverhampton and Dudley to Nottingham, arid
the other towns already enumerated.
The support of several companies will be enlisted in favour of the
line, whick, together with its own merits, will ensure its mimeos 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 mixing and
manufacturing districts of Warwickshire and Staffordshire, a large
traffic in timber, sort', 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 skipped to Nam-
burgh, the German States, and the North of Vurope ; 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 loeal 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
Meer' ption

The usual power will be taken to allow interest at the rate offonr
per cent. from the time of paymeit upon each call until the opeiing
of the lines.

So applications will be attended to without a referent's to a
amber of the Committee, a banker, or the solicitors to this Company.
The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be
wlecuted when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip certifi-
•:ates, of which due notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by
any party making dethult in the execution of thoee deeds will be for-
Nted.

Plans and prospeetusee, with forms ofapplications for shares, may be

The Committees- of Direction of these undertakings have great
satisfaction in acquainting the Shareholders, that they have made
arrangements for the lease in perpetuity of both railways, as soon
as they shall have received the sanction of Parliament to the
Sheffield, Ashton-under-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.
