This Railway is projected to supply the connexion still wanting
between Kendal and Cockermouth, Kendal and Ulverston, and
Keswick and Penrith. R. will link the Furness Railways with
the Kendal and...Windermere and the Lancaster and Carlisle Railways
at Kendal, and will nirthor es:Meet these with the Cockermouth
and Workington and Whitehaven and Diaryport lines of Railway,
uniting again as a second point of junction the Lancaster and Car-
lisle Railway at Penrith, and thus embracing all the frequented sta-
tions in the lake district, and accommodating the greatest amount of
population. The length of railway to bo constructed by this Com-
pany will be G$ miles, namely, from Cockermouth via Keswick to
Windermere, SS miles; from Keswick to Penrith, 15 ; and from Win-
dermere to Fumes., 15 miles; and the surveys of the country prove
the line to be free from difficulty, and the gradients unexceptionable.
A prescribed interest in the projf,et will be reserved tbr the Pro-
prietors in the Kendal and Windermere and Cockermouth and
Workington Railway Companies ; also to those applicants in the pro-
posed Furness and Windermere Railway (now merged in this under-
taking), to whom letters of allotment were about to be issued.

YORK, HULL, and EAST and WEST YORK-
SHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY.

(Provisionally Registered.)
The importance of a direct line of railway from the City of York
to the port of Hull, which shall, at the same time, give the greatest
extent of accommodation to the intermediate district, now wholly de-
prived of the means of railway transit, is. so apparent, that a com-
pany has been formed for the construction of a line, commencing by a
Junction with the London and York, and Leeds and York Railways, at
or near York, to the towns of Pocklington, Market Weighton, Bever-
ley, and terminating at the extensive East Docks, now in course
of construction at Hull, with a branch from the main line, com-
mencing at or near Market Weighton, to Selby, thus affording
the shorteat and most direct communication from Newcastle and the
whole of the north of England, a well as from Skipton, Colne, ()Hey,
and the northern part of Lancashire, by the proposed Lancashire and
Yorkshire North,Eas' ern Railway, to the important port of Hull, and
at the same time forming a complete connexion between the several
towns of York, Hull, Beverley, Driffield, Bridlington, Market Weigh-
ton, Pocklington, and Selby.
The advantages which will be tkus secured to the whole of the
East Riding, will appear by a reference to the map ; and negotiations
are now pending by whirls this line will be promoted in friendly
conjunction wjth other important railways ix the west of Yorkshire
and Lancashire.

The proposed branch from Market Weighton to Selby will give to
a rich and very highly cultivated portion of the East Riding the
shortest line for the transmission of its agrlculural produce to the
markets of Leeds, Wakefield, and the eonsuming districts, and secure
the return of coals, lime, and manures, at a greatly reduced cost ;
while the terminus of the main line at the East Docks at Hull will
save the large expenditure which, without the construction of this
line, must be incurred in the carriage of merchandise across the
town.
The works will be of very easy construction. A survey is now
being made, and a detailed prospectus, with the names of a highly in-
fluential Provisional Committee, together with the amount of capital,
and further particulars, will be announced in a few days.
Communications may, in the meantime, be addressed to the Com-

SECRETARY—SamueI Holdsworth, Esq.
This railway will proceed from York to Lancaster (about 72 miles)
by the most direct practicable route, and pass near Knareeborough,
Harrowgate, Long Preston, Settle, and many other important places.
The counties of York and Lancaster comprise a population of
3,500,000 persons, and are, perhaps, the most wealthy and populous
divisions of the kingdom. The roads to;:tween York and Lancaster
are mostly carried over the tops of hills, and, in winter, are nearly
impassable ; this line will pass along the valleys, and the journey,
now rarely made, by coach, within twelve hours, may be performed,
on the railway, in two hours and a half.
It will provide facilities of access to all the great manufacturing.
mining, and agricultural districts of the north of England, to the Isle
of Man, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales; to Hamburgli, by connecting
Morecombe Bay and Fleetwood Harbour on the west coast with the
port of Hull on the east coast ; to the lakes et Westmoreland and
Cumberland; to Harrowgate, celebrated for its unrivalled sulphur,
mineral, and chalybeate springs; and to the important intermediate
districts between York and Lancaster, which abound with valuable
minerals, and raise vast quantities of live stock and agricultural pro-
duee. Many places near the intended course of the line are known
to possess inexhaustible supplies of lea!, iron, slate, limestone, free-
stone, and other useful minerals, but these are now comparatively
unavailing, from the great cost of coals and carriage. The railway
will rapidly develop these sources ofprosperity, by introducing coals at
a low price, and providing cheap carriage for mineral produce of
every kind; it will also furnish a most desirable means of transit for
passengers and merchandise to and from every part of the king-
dom, and a cheap conveyance for immense quantities of live stock
and agricultural produce from the rural to the manufacturing
and mining, districts. Many completed and projected railways will
intersect this line, and greatly facilitate traffic and intercourse in
every direction. With the Directors of these railways, and of various
others which have a station at York or Lancaster, the Committee
will endeavour to make arrangements likely to prove mutually bene-
ficial, and they hare much pleasure in stating that the landowners
along the line are extremely favourable to the undertaking, and con-
sider it will materially augment the value of their possessions and
prove advantageous to the country and the shareholders.
It has been fully ascertained that the proposed line presents but
few engineering difficulties, and that, although it will pass through
some very holy districts, it may be constructed along valleys, and
with favourable gradients throughout nearly its entire course. The
liability of the shareholders will be restricted by Act of Parliament
to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be applied for
in the Bill to allow interest at four per cent. per annum on all calls,
from the passing of the Act to the opening of the line.
Applications for shares may be addressed, in the form annexed, to
the under-mentioned brokers, viz. Mes rs. B. and M. Boyd,

railway communication between the eastern and midland counties
and the western district, including the whole of North and South
Wales.
The country through which the line will pass is of the richest
description, and thickly populated.
By means of this, and the existing and projected lines of railway,
the whole of the ports in the eastern and north-eastern counties, in-
cluding the manufacturing city of Norwich, and towns of Leicester,
Nottingham, Sheffield, and Leeds, will be brought in direct com-
munication with the mineral districts of North and South Wales,
and the salt district of Droitwich.
The promoters of this line submit to the public, as a most import-
ant consideration, the abating of those causes of loss and inconveni-
ence which, along the line of country over which this railway will
pass, are experienced 'tom water carriage being from necessity at
present a principal mode of transit for heavy goods and merchandise,
and which, in the winter season, is productive of the most evil con-
sequences to those engaged in commerce.
A manifest advantage to the Shareholders will be the extent of traffic
which this line will secure and appropriate, in lieu of that which
hitherto has been engrossed by the more dilatory course of water
carriage.
As a public advantage to the inhabitants generally of the country
through which this line will pass, the promoters submit that the
equalisation in prices of the produce and merchandise which the
opening of this line of railway is calculated to produce is of the high-
est importance, and one of the principal benefits which this and other
similar undertakings are alone capable of producing.
The proposed line will commence at Rugby, the terminus of the
Midland Counties Railway, and also of the proposed Rugby and Hunt-
ingdon Junction Railway, and proceed from thence near to the towns
At Worcester this line will forma Junction. titCfri -` ",,• ester.
railways, the Shrewsbury, Worcester, an. --,;,,L ileveral
and the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway.
At Warwick it will unite with the Birmingham and Oxford Junc-
tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon-
don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway.
And at Rugby with the London and Birmingham, the Midland
Counties, and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railways.
To the inhabitants of Rugby as well as to those of the Midland,
Eastern, and Northern Counties this line will afibrd a direct com-
munication with the fashionable towns of Leamington anti Chelten-
ham, as well as the whole of the Western Counties.
To the inhabitants of Leamington and Warwick it will give a
direct communication with the City of Worcester and North and
South Wales, stow so much needed.
And to the inhabitants of Worcester, in addition to providing the
nearest route to London via Warwick, it will be an outlet to the
Eastern Counties and ports, and afford great facilities for the increase
of the manufactories now carried on in that city.
The whole of the country has during the present month been most
carefully surveyed by the engineers, and they report it to be tree from
engineering difficulty, and well adapted for a railway; and the pro-
visional Directors entertain no doubt that the line will be made
under the average rate of expense incident to similar undertakings,
and from the statistics in their possession, that the traffic will
afford an ample return for the capital invested.
The line will not interfere with any ornamental property, and the

landowners are favourable to the undertaking.
The Shareholders in the several Railways proposed to be joined or
intersected will have a preference in the allotment of glares in this
undertaking.
No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the Act is
obtained, and power will be applied for t. allow interest at 4/. per
eentum on all calls, from the time of their respective payments, and
to limit the liability of the Shareholders to the amount of their sub-
scriptions.
The Directors reserve power to themselves to amalgamate with
any existing or projected line of railway; to vary the route ; to
make all desirable extensions; and to increase the capital as may be
advisable or necessary.
Prospectuses, with a Plan, will be published in a few days,
and may then be obtained on application to the several solicitors,
and to any of the following share brokers, viz., Messrs. Peppercorne
and Co., 2, Old Broad-street ; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 89, Loth-

undermentioned form may be addressed.

(COMPAGNIE SEBASTIANI.)
REPORT TO THE ENGLISH SUBSCRIBERS.
GENTLIEMEN,—We regret our not being able to report that we have
succeeded in our efforts to obtain for you the objects of our Associa-
tion ; our best energies have been devoted to the subject, but from
the altered state of the circumstances which has now arisen, oar
Company, as at present constituted, is not in a position to compete
for the Leave.
At the time our Company was formed, it was undereood that the
Government would provide the land for the line and stations, and
possibly would undertake the earthworks. The capital we then
proposed (60 millions of francs), was considered sufficient to provide
all that the Company, under that state of circumstances, would have
required ; but after much doubt and delay, the Government have at
length determined that their lessees shoull undertake the purchase of
the land, as well as the entire construction and working of the Rail-
way. The Bill has now passed the Chambers in that form, and has
fixed the Capital at 80 millions (irrespective of the Grenoble
Branch).
Having, as we interpret our engagement to the Subscribers,
neither power to undertake on their behalf the purchase of land, nor
adequate funds for that larger purpose, we are under the necessity of
announcing the dissolution of the present Subscription, and we have
accordingly only ffirther on this bead to inform you, that we now
hold the deposits subject to the order of the several Subser.bas, and
ready to be immediately returned in exchange for the letters of allot-
ment and banker's receipts.
We would now invite your attention to the copy of the
statutes, which have been framed and adopted for the regulation of
a new Company for making and working the proposed line. You
will observe, that it is mainly under the same direction, and in many
respects of the same character as that which we originally proposed
The capital is necessarily larger, and the powers vested in those w ho
have the conduct of the undertaking of a much more gen,ral char c-
ter. We desire to refer you in particular to articles 4-22-23--
24-28-56.
We are empowered to offer to each Shareholder in the former
Company who shall, on or before the 20th of September next, and
in the manner we are about to mention, declare his option to accept
them, the same number of Shares in the new Company as he holds
in the original Company, with or without one additional Share in
respect of every five original Shares, and in order to faci hate the
neee,sary arrangements, we have prepared such forms as will enable
the Subscribers to express their wishes with convenience. They are
ready, and may be applied for at 62, King William-street, City, be-
tween Eleven o'clock, a.m. and Three o'clock F.M.
We beg to add, that in the event of receiving at this office no coin-
munication respecting any particular allotment of Shares in the
original Company on or before the 20th of September next,
ithe.to
posit thereon will be held subject to the order of the party it he

PROSPECTUS.

The principle of this important railway scheme is an extension of
the North Staffordshire Railway. from Uttoxeter southward, through
Burton-upon-Trent, by Swadlingeote, Gresley, and Moira, to Ashby-
de-la-Zouch, Market-Bosworth, and Hinckley, uniting, In the direc-
tion of Leicester, with the proposed Leieester and Bedford, and
South Midland Railways, and south of Hinckley, with the Midland
Railway at or near Ullesthorpe. The. main objects of the scheme

am—
t. To secure the best practicable direct line from London to Man-
chester and Liverpool.
2. To provide the beat and most complete railway communication
for the important mining, manufacturing, commercial, and landed in-
terests of the extensive district yet untraversed by railways, which
lies between Uttoxeter on the north and Leicester on the south.
The line of the proposed railway takes the most direct praticable
route from Manchester to a point near Hinckley, from which it opens
two communications with London—one by the Midland Railway to
Rugby, and thence by the London and Birmingham Railway—the
other by the Leicester and Bedford, or South Midland Railway,
through Market Harborough to Pedford and Ilitchin, and thence by
the London and York Railway. Thus combining the advantage,
never before attempted, of the most direct route, with the choice of
two approaches to London—a result attained by the promotion rather
than the sacrifice or injury of any existing railway interest.
In this scheme the public interest has been the sole consideration,
and it is confidently expected that public support will follow.
In the adaptation of this scheme to the local interests of the dis-
trict, for the first time opened by it, the same principle has been the
guide.
It opens fairly and fully the great coil-fields of Moira, Swadling-
cote, and Swannington. It traverses the pottery districts of Swad-
lingcote, Newhall, Gresley, and the neighbourhood; It provides
most ample accommodation for the increased and rapidly-increasing
trading and manufacturing interests of Leicester and Burton-upon-
Trent, and their neighbourhoods. It approaches as near as practi-
cable to every town in the district of Hinckley, Market-Bosworth,
Ashby-de-la-Zouch (with its celebrated baths), Burton, and Tutbury.
It interferes with no residential or ornamental property, and the
support of many of the most influential landholders is already secured
in Its favour.
The " Midland Union" also connects itself with the Leicester anti
Birmingham, and Boston, Stamford, and Birmingham Railways, and
by this connexion opens the most direct and complete eastern and
western communication yet projected.
By means of the Boston, Stamford, and Birmingham Railway, '
and the various other Railways in East Anglia, an easy and direct
communication is opened between Burton-upon-Trent, and the corn-
producing counties of Lincolnshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk.
By means of the Coventry Branch of the Leicester and Birming-
ham Railway, and the direct access to Rugby, secured by the pro-
posed junction with the Midland Railway, the most advantageous op-
portunities are afforded to the Moira, Swadlingcote, and other Collieries
of the district, for sending coals to Leamington, Warwick, and the
southern markets.'
By means of the short diverging Line to the Trent Valley Railway,
at Athersione, the communication between Leicester and Tainworth
is fully provided for.
Upon a careful examination of the details of this scheme, to which
public attention is earnestly invited, its advantages will be found to
be such as not only to supersede the necessity of a direct indepen-
dent Line from London to Manchester, but to secure to the important
local interests of the district traversed by it more complete and be-
neficial accommodation than any direct and independent line could,
by reason of its more extended objects and interests, afford to give.

This project is intended to form the most direct communication
between the important grazing country of the Lincolnshire Marshes
and the large manufacturing and consuming districts of the Midland
and Northern Counties ; and to establish an immediate connexion
between the East Coast and South \Voids of Lincolnshire, and the
various coal fields in Yorkshire, Derbyshire, and Staffordshire,
thereby facilitating the export of corn, wool, cattle, and other agri-
cultural produce, and the import of coal, timber, stone, slate, seeds.
oil-cake, and artificial manures.
By this line (in communication with other railways), Birmingham,
Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Wakefield, Nottingham,
Derby, Stafford, the Potteries, and other important manufacturing
towns, will be placed in direct counexiou with Hamburgli, liottex-
dam, Antwerp, and the principal seaports of the north of Europe ;
between which places and Waintleet the voyage will be several hours
shorter than from either Ruff or Grimsby.
There is a good passenger traffic generally throughout the line,
Swelled by the large and numerous fairs, held at Lincoln, Horncastle,
Spilsby, Partnev, Burgle, and Wainfleet (for horses, cattle, and
sheep), and by the visitors to Skegness, one of the principal watering
places on the Lincolnshire coast, the whole of which will be mate-
rially increased by railway accommodation.
The improvement of the extensive harbour of Wainfleet haven,
and the forming there a perfect shipping station for the manufactur-
ing districts; is one of the important features in this undertaking.
This haven possesses natural roadsteads of a superior description,
offering a safe anchorage for shipping of any burthen, in
.24 test of
water, at ebb tide, close to the shore at Gibraltar Point. Any num-
ber of? ships can ride safely at anchor; and large fleets of pierchant-
men frequently resort thither for safety during the prel-alence of
northerly gales, an advantage imperfectly possessed by both Hull and
Grimsby; added to which, a great saving will be effected In the Cus-
tom, dock, and harbour dues, as well as in pilotage and insurance.
No sea works of any magnitude will be required.
The length of the proposed line will be about 40 tai/es, and the
country does not present any engineering diffictilties.
No railway in aistence Al in contemplation provides accom-
modation for the district of country through which this line will
pass. Application has been made to the principal landowners ou the
line, and no objection is anticipated.

A portion of the Shares will be reserved for parties locally into
and the remainder will be allotted to persons giving un-
exceptionable references. No Shareholder will be liable beyond Ids
subscription.

The Subscribers' Agreement will contain ►owers to the Provisional
Committee to run,into other railways now or hereafter to be mate,
and to alter the termhd of the proposed line, so that the maiu ob-
ject of the scheme be carried out.
Applications for shares, in the subjoined form, may be made to the
solicitors and to the following sharebrokers :—Mr. King, 3, Bar-

SECRETARY, PRO TEM.—Mr. John Minstmll

The object of this undertaking is to effect the most direct and com-
prehensive line of communication, by means of existing and project,l
railways—the Manchester, Buxton, and Ambergate, the North Der-
byshire Union, and the Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland .1 unction
Lines, between the Potteries, the ifou districts of Staffordshire au.:
Shropshire, Cheshire, North Wales, Holyhead, Sheffield, the Ports of
Gainsboreugh, Grimsby and Hull, North Derbyshire, and the whole
of the West Riding of the County of York.
Independent of the thorough traffic, which will necessarily be con-
siderable, the local traffic is alone sufficient to justify the construc-
tion of this line, and the promoters let% themselves warranted in
stating, that from a careful estimate of traffic on data accurately,
taken, a profit of at least ten per cent, will be realised, after deduct-
ing forty per cent. for working expenses.
By this line of railway, the great quarries of limestone at Buxton
and the neighbourhood (which have been proved to be the best for
all purposes), will be thrown open to the Staffordshire and Shrop•
shire iron works (where 2,000,000 toile are consumed annually in the
fluxion of iron), as well as to other parts, and no doubt will form a
great source of profit to the Company.
It will also open the shortest and best line for the conveyance of
salt from the Cheshire salt works, and also of the Staffordshire and
Shropshire pig iron, and pottery ware, to the ports of Galusborougb;
Grimsby and Mull, and to Sheffield, and the manufacturing districts
of Yorkshire. It also throws open the great lead, copper, iron, stud
slate mines in North and South Wales. The extensive coal fields of
Norton-in-the-Moors (about six miles front Leek), through which
the line passes, and will thereby afford to Buxton and other places iu
Derbyshire. a cheap and abundant supply of excellent coal qt a
greatly reduced cost.
In addition to the large mineral traffic which this line will possess.
the conveyance of merchandise will tiirm a souree of tOnsideratle
profit. besides the general passenger traffic. there must in the stam-
mer months he a great accession of visitors from lreland, North and
Soul' Wales, Chester, and the Staffordshire Potteries to Ituston.
Bakewell, Chatsworth, Matbxek. Dovedale, &c., to which places it
has been proved that 90,000 persons mutually resort for the beueni
of their health, and on pleasure exenr,ions.
Companies have bent formed to make a line of railway from MeV
field to Boston, and Stoke-upon-Trutt to Cre we, and Norton-bridge, to
join the Grand Junction Railway, with each of which Companies the
Committee are in communication, and arrangements will be made
with them so that the proposed Company will only have to make
the connecting link between the two places, namely, from Buxton to
Stoke-upon-Trent, to complete the entire line.
The distance to be made by this Company is nearly 22 miles; and.
the engineering character is such as to instify the promoters in de-
daring the proposed capital amply sufficient kw its construction, and
for sudh mineral branches as the district may require.
Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at 4/. per cent
per annum upon all deposits and cans until the opening of the line..
The liability of Subscribers will of course be limited by the Act ot•
Parliament to the amount of their respective shares.
In the allotment of shares a preference will be given to parties
locai!y interested ; and such applicants as have shares iu the Man-
chester, Buxton, and Amber Gate, Manchester, Sheffield, and Mid-
land Junction, and Derby and Crewe Companies, are requested to
state that circumstance in their applications, but none can be re-
ceived unless accompanied by a reference to some party of known

respectability.

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 eesolved 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 200,0001.
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 these
populous towns ; and, in consequence of the amalgamation of this
company with the Nottingham, Erewash Valley, Amber-gate, and
anchester Railway: Company, and the Nottingham, Vale of
Beivoir, 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 finthernotice will be given,
it will form a direct communication with Lynn, Spalding, Dereham,
4.ipsi.mv,Aßlo9/DrAgmerterienvgyte, ♦llll:vil•naii's 61: 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 bT 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 tile finest quality, and is pecularly distinguished for its build-
ing properties ; it possesses a well-known preference over any other
limo, and is almost exclusively made use of in the erection of bridges
and culverts 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
now wholly destitute of" any communication that can bring its nume-
rbterand valuable resources into a distant and more extended mar-
ket, and, as a mineral line alone, it will be found, from accurate cal-
anla4.lons made, to yield an amount of revenue fully commensurate
with tee 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
eonatruction, 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 200,0001. will be divided into 8,000 shares
et 251. each, upon which a deposit of 21. 12s. 6d. will be payable on
Or before the 20th 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
ens to 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 Perna-
inentery agents,' deem it expedient to make a further call of 11.
le. Gd. per share on those shares already issued, the recent " stand-
ing orders" of the House 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
/Secretary, 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
eate.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 (*dared ; and the liability of Subscribers will
be limited by Act of Parliament to the amount of their respective
shares
