Offices of the Company-14, Old Jewry Chambers, London.
This Company has been constituted in Paris by the active pro-
moters of the French Rosamel Company for the Great North Line,
for the purpose of tendering for the lease of the projected Railway
from Paris to Lyons ; and as it has been thought advisable by them
to obtain English co-operation, the gentlemen above-named as Di-
rectors in England have, at their solicitation, associated themselves
with the undertaking.
The line of railway has been surveyed and laid out by the French
Government.
It is divided into three sections. The first from Paris to Dijon ;
the second from Dijon to Chalon sur Sane; and the third from Cha-
lon to Lyons.
The construction of the first and third of these is to be under-
taken by the constituted Company. The second is already in an ad-
vanced stage of construction, and will shortly be completed by the
Government, at the charge, however, of the Company.
• The line is to be completed in five years at latest from the date of
the adjudication.
The maximum term for the lease to be tendered for is fixed at
forty-five years.
The privilege of using the railway now making from Lyons to
Avignon is secured, on terms of equality, to such Company as may
obtain the concession of this line.

The Government reserves to itself the right of redemption at the
expiration of the first fifteen years, reckoned from the end of the five
j..,ers allowed air the makine et 4. wah,,a..tect
on an average of the net. profits of the five best years of the seven im-
mediately preceding the redemption.
—awe on the Company all the powers and privileges re-
quisite for carrying the undertaking into effect, and constitutes it a
" Soceite Anonyme," or corporate body.
Applications for shares are to be addressed to the solicitors,
Messrs. Beavan and Anderson, 2, Adelphi-terrace ; or to the Secre-
tary, at the offices of the Company, 14, Old Jewry Chambers, Lon-
don ; and must be made by filling up and sending a printed form,
which may be had at the Company's offices.
