The Commtttees of Direction of these undertakings have great
ratlafaction 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.

It is proposed by this Company to establish a direct line of commu-
nichtion between Birmingham, Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hun,
at the easiest outlay of capital, and with the'lea.st possible injury to
existing Interests: To effect this object, use will be made of existing
or projected tines, as far as practicable, and the chain of communica-
tion will be completed by throwing out new lines, where requisite.
CommenAug at Birmingham, it is proposed to use the Birmingham
and Derby nailwav as far as Whitacre, whence a now line, about 29
IT:length, will be made, passing Virough Ashby-de-la-Zouch and
Castle !Millington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid-
land Counties Railway
the communication being this perfect to Nottingham, It will be
earned forward as far as Gainsborough, either by the proposed Not-
tingham and Gainshorough Railway, or by a line springing out of the
line from Nottingham to Lincoln, for which an Act was obtained by
the Stidlend Counties Company during the last session of Parliament.
From Gallisborough this railway will proceed to Barton-on-the-
Humber, or Nev Holland, in the immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby
reisdaring complete and entire the chain of communication between
Birmingham and Hull.
By this project the advantages will result to the public t S
• Direct line from Birmingham to Nottingham,
Birmingham to Gainsborough,
and from Birmingham to Hull;
and by moo' a 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 Nottlaghani„ and
the other towns already enumerated.

The fupport of several companies will be enlisted in &Your of the
li-e, which, together with its own merits, will ensure Its success in
rilarnent.

Asa 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 he derived by a direct cemmu-
e 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 Gaineborough, and the immense traffic from Bir-
mingham to Hull, the port at which the exports are shipped to Marc-
burgh, the German States, and the North of Europe ; and from the
conveyance of merchandise, agricultural produce, and cattle from the
southern, western, and midland counties. • . _ .

A preference will be given lu 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. s
Tho usual power will be taken to allow interest at the rate of four
pa' cent. from the time of payment upon each call until the opening
of the lines,. 5:.

No applications 1.411 he attended to without a reference to a
member of the Committee, a banker, or the solicitors to this Company.
The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Goutract must be
3xecuted when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip certifi-
cates. cf which due notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by
any party uniting default in the execution of those deeds will befor-
(cited.
