• SECRETARY—T. H. Rigbye, Esq.
The Directors of the Nottingham and Mansfield Railway, feeling
the serious importance of connecting this line with the Midlands
Railway, have resolved upon extending it to Clay Cross ; and, in or-
der to carry this important and popular project into execution, pro-
pose to raise an additional capital of 200,000!.
This undertaking, connecting Nottingham and Mansfield with
Chesterfield by means of the Midland Railway from Clay Cross, and
with Sheffield and Yorkshire by means of the Boston, Newark, and
Sheffield Railway, will form a desirable communication between thew
populous towns; and, in consequence of the amalgamation of this
Company with the Nottingham, Erewash Valley, Amber-gate, and
Manchester Railway: Company, and the Nottingham, Vale of
Belvoir, and Grantham Railway Company, it will form altogether a
direct communication between the agricultural districts of Lincoln-
shire, the Midlands Railway, and all the manufacturing towns to the
north and north-west of Nottingham and Mansfield, and, by other
amalgamations now in progress, of which furthernotice will be given,
it wilt form a direct communication with Lynn, Spalding,' Dereham,
and Ely, and other important towns to the south-east of Mansfield ;
it will form a junction with the Boston, Newark, and Sheffield, and
the Derby and Gaineborough Railways, and, by means of the latter,
effect another outlet to the sea at Great Grimsby, and It is proposed
to erect one common station at Mansfield, for the accommodation of
passengers, and general traffic of the line.
The proposed extension is intended to pass by the rapidly increas-
ing town of Sutton- in-Ashfield, thence by Tibshelf to Clay Cross,
thus opening the valuable and extensive coal fields in that district ;
It will also approximate the lime quarries of Skegsby, which yield
lime of the finest quality, and is pecularly distinguished for its build-
ing properties; it possesses a well-known preference over any other
lime, and is almost exclusively made use of in the erection of bridges
and eulyerts upon various railways in the midland counties of Eng-
land.
The valuable free-stone of Mansfield and its vicinity will, by means
of this extension, be conveyed to every part of the north. The cele-
brated magnesian limestone, which was especially selected, for its
beauty and durability, in erecting the new Houses of Parliament,
extends under a large portion of the immediate district of Mansfield,
and will through this medium be attainable in almost every part of
the kingdom.
The general traffic 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
no wholly destitute of any communication that can, bring its mime-
roiN and valuable resources into a distant and more extended is ar-
ket, and, as a mineral line alone, it will be found, from accurate cal-
culation,' made, to yield an amount of revenue fully commensurate
with the outlay of the capital proposed.
The Directors have received a most satifactory report from the
engineers, and the entire absence of all impediments, the facility of
construction, and general character of the undertaking, the great
amount of traffic both in respect of passengers and merchandise, jus-
tify the confidence of the promoters in anticipating 10 per cent. upon
the capital being realised immediately upon the opening of the line.
The extended capital of 200,000 L will be divided into 8,000 shares
of 251. each, upon which a deposit of 2!. 12s. 6d. will be payable on
or before the 90th day of September. A portion of the shares will
be reserved for the landowners and others locally interested; the re-
mainder will be distributed among the present shareholders, who will
have the privilege of receiving the new shares in the proportion of
eneeto every three now held by them, upon application being made
by them in manner hereinafter-mentioned.
The Directors, in compliance with the opinion of their Parlia-
mentary agents, deem it expedient to make a further call of I/.
2s. 6,1. per share ondthose shares already issued, the recent " stand-
ing orders" of the Muse of Commons, which require a deposit of 10
per cent., rendering this step essentially necessary.
The Shareholders are therefore requested, in order to carry this
arrangement into effect, to deposit their scrip certificates with the
Reeretary, on or before the 20th day of September; in exchange for
which, they will obtain a certificate, upon which the bankers of the
Company will receive the amount payable, and upon producing the
receipt, and signing the new Parliamentary contract, fresh scrip cer-
tificates, duly registered, will be delivered to them.
Power will be taken in the Act to abandon any portion of the line
that may be doemed unnecessary by the Directors ; interest at the
rate of 4 per cent. will be also secured on the deposits as well as on
all future calls, from the date of each payment until the opening of
the line, or a dividend declared ; and the 1 ability of Subscribers will
be limited by Act of Parliament to the amount of their respective
shares. •

The object of this undertaking is to supply the northern part of
Norfolk with that railway accommodation of which it is at present
wholly destitute. It embraces all the towns in this extensive dis-
tract, and affords direct communication between them and the city
of Norwich, which is the great mart for the agricultural produce of
the county.

By the junction of this line with the Norfolk Railway, and with
the lines to Yarmouth and Lynn, this important locality will obtain
the shortest and most economical route to all parts of England.
This undertaking will prove of incalculable advantage to the agri-
culturists, to the owners of the large and important mills on the
river Bure, and to the malsters and traders of the district, in the
transmission of their commodities, and by placing them within easy
communication of the ports and places from which coals and goods
of every kind consomed in the district are obtained.
The distinction which Cromer has deservedly obtained, as a most
delightful watering-place,' will now be considerably enhanced by the
direct communication thus established between it and all parts of the
kingdom.
The unanimous and most cordiz.l support of the merchants and
traders of Norwich is given to this project, as carrying out the prin-
ciple of direct communication for which they have so earnestly con-
tended.
This line will be made with the co-operation and support of the
Norfolkßailway Company (the amalgamated Norwich and Yarmouth,
and Norwich and Brandon Companies) ; and powers will be taken
to ratify agreements made with the Directors of that Company. fcr
leasing it at 4 per cent. per annum on the outlay, and an equal divi-
sion of the surplus pr)fits.
Competent engineers have already surveyed the line, and have re-
ported most favourably on the project, which is free from engineering
difficulty.
The greatest care has been taken to select the line which is best
for the public interest, and at the same time to avoid interference
with any ornamental property.
Application for Shares, which, on account of their limited number,
can only be attended to from applicants of first-rate respectability,
may be made to the Provisional Committee, at the Offices of the
Company, 65, Moorgate-vtreet, London, in the following form ; or to
the Solicitors in London or Norwich.
