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
miles in length, 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 Gainsborough, 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-
Slumber, or New Holland, in the immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby
rendering complete and entire the chain •f communication between
Birmingham and Hull.
By this project the advantages will result to the public of a
Direct line from Birmingham to Nottingham,
10 Birmingham to Gainsborough,
and from Birmingham to Hull;
and by mrat.s of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Railway,
and the intended extension to Ashl,y-de-la-Zouch, a direct line from
Wolverhampton to Nottingham, and the other t•wns already enu-
merated.

The support of several comnanies will be enlisted in favour of the
lire, which, 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 he 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 Gainshorough, and the immense traffic from Bir-
mingham to Hull, the!port at which the exports are shipped to llam-
burgh, the German States, and the North of Europe ; and from the
conveyance of merchardise, agricultnral produce, and cattle from the
Southern, western, and midland counties.
A preference will he 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 liahle 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 oftho 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
any party making: default in the execution of those deeds will be for-
felted.
