SECRETARY—T. 11. Rigbye, Esq.
The Directors of the lsiottlugham and Mansfield Railway, feeling
the serious Importance of connecting this line with the Midlands
It :`Tway, have resolved upon extending it to Clay Cross ; and, in or-
der to c._,rry this important and popular project into execution, pro-
pose to raise an additional capital of 200,0001.
Tit's undertakißs, connecting Nottingham and Mansfield with
•1,1 by cans of the Midland Railway from Clay Cross, and
wi 11.-,',ietrield and Yorkshire by means of the Boston, Newark, and
Ital,way, will form a desirable communication between these
polattats towns; and, in consequence of the amalgamation of this
Company with the Nottingham, Erewash Valley, Amber-gate, and
Ill'a2clit.stcr Railway Company, and the Nottingham, Vale of
11,1,01,:, and Grantham Railway Company, it will form altogether a
airec,t s6enoinnication between the agricultural districts of Lincoln-
t'Ore. do Midlands Railway, and all the mamfacturing towns to the
no; ll and north-west of Nottingham and Mansfield, and, by other
amalg.urtati•ms now in progress, of which further notice will be given,
It ,vilt form a direct communication with Lynn, Spalding, Dereham,
and my, and other important towns to the south-east of Mansfield ;
it will form it junction with the Boston, Newark, and Sheffield, and
the Der!)y and Gainsborough Railways, and, by means of the latter,
effect ainithcr outlet to the sea at Great Grimsby, and it is proposed
to erect one common Aation at Mansfield, for the accommodation of
passengers, and general traffic of The Una.
The proposed extension is intended to pass by the rapidly increas-
ing town t.f Sutton in-Aslifield, thence by Tihshelf to Clay Cross,
thus opening the valuable and extensive coal fields in that district ;
It will also appr...ximate the lime quarries of Skegsby, which yield
Line of the fit-teat quality, and is pecularly distinguished for its build •
log propt.rties; it possesses a well-known preference over any other
line, 1:! PI is almost exclusively made use of in the erection of bridges
and culverts upon variont railways in the midland counties of Eng-
land

ralaible frea-stOne of -Ma%stield and its vicinity will, by means
of this extenslon, be conveyed to every part of the north. The cele-
brat.l limestone, which was especially selected, for its
t.eattly and dartbility, in erecting the now Houses of Parliament,
e,ttends under a portion of the immediate district of Mansfield,
thrmr.di this medium be attainable in almost every part of

the klagdom.
The geaeral tratile at present is of a highly remunerative charac-
ter, and, when fully opened, will present a development of more than
ordinary magnitude throughout the whole portion of the line ; the
length of the extension will be ten miles, and the entire district is
sing whoi-y destitute of any communication that can bring Its nut-1u:-
reus and valuable resources Into a distant and more extended ,rar-
ket, and, as a mineral line alone, it will be found, from accurate cal-
culation 4 made, to yield an amount of revenue fully commensurate
with lit outla,. of the capital proposed.
The D;rectors have riceived a most satifactory report from the
noels, and the entire absence of all impediments, the facility of
cenetruction, and general character of the undertaking, the great
ninoent of traffic both in respect of passengers and merchandise, jus-
tify the confidence of the promoters in anticipating 10 per cent. upon
the c:t)ital being realised Immediately upon the opening of the line.
The extended capital of 200,6001. will be divided into 8,000 shares
nt 2.5/. each, upon which a deposit of 21. 12s. 6tl. will be payable on
or heibre the 20th day of September. A portion of the shares will
he reserved for the landowners and others locally interested; the re-
rnairefer will he distributed among the present shareholders, who will
have the privilege of receiving the new shares in the proportion of
one to every three now held by them, upon application being made
IT them in manner hereinafter-mentioned.
Tate Directors, in compliance with the opinion of their Parlia-
mentary agents, deem it expedient to make a further call of 11.
t, ed. per sit ,re on those sh ,res already issued, the recent " stand-
erlers" of the House of Commons, which require a deposit of 10
wi• cent., reedering this step essentially necessary.
The ;,,liareliolders arc therefore requested, in order to carry this
arraft4loent into effect, to deposit their scrip certificates with the
Keeretary, oa or before the 20th day of September; in exchange for
wh'eli, they will o,,tain a certificate, upon which the bankers of the
Company will receive the amount payable, and upon producing the
rete.ipt, and signing the new Parliamentary contract, fresh scrip cer-
tificates, deli' registered, will be delivered to them.
Power will be taken in the Act to abandon any portion of the line
that may be doomed unnecessary by the Directors ; interest at the
rate of 4 per cent. wilt be also secured on the deposits as well as on
nil future calls, front the date of each payment until the opening of
the iine, or a dividend dee'ared"; and the inability of Subscribers will
he limited by Act of Parliament to the amount of their respective
shares
