LONDON, 11th July, 1845.
The grant of this important line of railway was made to the Con-
cessionaires by conventions dated the 16th May last, duly signed
between them and his Excellency the Minister of the Interior, rati-
fied by his 3lnjesty the "King of the Netherlands, and gazetted on

the 20th of the same month.
Its entire length will be about 103 miles, of which 22 miles (from
Amsterdam to 'Utrecht) were opened in December, 1843 and a fur.
ther length of 36 miles (from Utrecht to A rnheim) on thel 4th of May
last, leaving still to be completed the portion from Rotterdam to
Utrecht (31 miles), and from Arnheim to Emmerick (12 miles), with
two miles of branch lines to the Entrepot Dock at Amsterdam and

the river at Rotterdam_
The duration of the grant is for about fifty-three years, terminable at
the close of 1898 ;' at the expiration of which period it is to be renewed
for twenty-five years, and so on for every succeeding twenty-flve
years, unless the. Government give notice of their intention to take
it into their own hands, in which case the entire cost of construction
(including land), and also any outlay for improvements and additions
which may hereafter be made, are to be repaid in full. The whole
of the working and other stock is to be taken at a fair valuation,
thus rendering unnecessary any sinking find to replace the capital.
The Go eniment have no °ever to repurchase until the year 1898.
There will he no tunnels on this railway, sad it will he all but
level, except for about three miles in ascending to Arnheim, where
the steepest gradient is only lin 30. The broad gauge of 61 feet
has been adopted. The whole portion of the line hitherto made,
including stations and working stock, has been executed in a very
superier manner, under the able direction of the Chief Government
Engineer of the Fonts and Chaussees in Holland.
The tariff both for passengers and for goods is higher than in
Belgium or. in -France, and the wealth and general habits .•f the
Dutch people are found to produce a much larger proportion of first
and second over third-c'ass passengers than in those countries.
The railway will have for its two western termini, the densely
p-pulated and rich trading cities of Amsterdam and Rotterdam and
will traverse provinces, containing 1,526,900 inhabitants. Some idea
of the extent of the local passenger traffic may be derived from the
fact, that 300,000 papsengers were conveyed in 1844 between
Amsterdam and Utrecht (the portion then opened), whilst the re-
ceipts upon the same portion have nearly doubled during the cor-
responding months of the present year, and a considerable augmen-
tation will now be realised as the line is open to ,Arnheim, the
favourite resort of the. wealthy inhabitants of Amsterdam and
Rotterdam. The imports into Amsterdam and Rotterdam amounted
in 1844 to 943,726 tons, and the exports to 580,687 tons, and their
East and West India trade alone employed 330 large vessels.
Of this immense goods traffic a large proportion must' erne upon
this Railway, in consequence of the long and frequent stoppages to
which the canal and river navigation is constantly subject front ftost
in winter, and the want of water in summer, whilst the unusually
good gradients of this Railway will enable it to carry goods at a low
rate, and all the expenses of loading, carting, unloading, &c., will be
saved, by its having a branch line to the water's edge at the river at
Rotterdarre and to the docks at Amsterdam, so as to load and unload
goods direct from or into the vessels and railway waggons.
It will be seen by reference to the accompanying map, fhat by
means of this Line and of the Over Yssel Railway, which joins it at
Arnheim, a direst and unbroken railway communication will be es-
tablished from Amsterdam, Rotterdam, the Hague, and Utrecht, to
the North of Holland, and thence by the various German railways to
the interior of Europe, embracing the important populations of Ha-
nover, Brunswick, Prussia, Austria, Bavaria, Saxony, and the other
German States ; and the great capitals and commercial cities of Ber-
lin, Vienna, Munich, Dresden, Leipzig, Hamburgh, Dantzic, Magde-
burgh, Stettin, Frankfort on the. Oder, Munster, &c. The South of
Germany, Switzerlimd, Italy, and the Mediterranean will also have a
direct railway communication with the capital and principal towns
of Holland, by means of the branch line which this Railway will htive
from Arnheim to Emmerick, wnence another continuous Line is to
join the Great Rhenish Railway to-Cologne, Frankfort on the Maine,
Cerlsruke, Baden, &c. • • - • -
By the arrangements which have been made, the Concessionaires
transfer the railway to this Company for the sum of 11,89aorrn. /7"
(somewhat- under 1,000,000/. sterling), being the amount actually
expended in its construction, including the interest paid upon the
capital employed, but. giving credit for the receipts during and subse-
quent to its construction, as ascertained by, Commissioners appointed
under a Royal Commission, dated October 22, 1844. Of this sum
9,000,0000. were raised by loan, as will be presently noticed.
The Concessionaires have paid a deposit of 500,0000. as caution
money, which, with other sums advanced, will have to be reim-
bursed to them by the Company. The deposit will be returned to
the Company on the completion of the railway.
The Statutes constituting this Company a " Societe Anonyme,"
upon the terms before referred to, and regulating its proceedings,
received the Royal sanction on the Ist inst., and the whole capital
was thereupon subscribed.
They confirm in all respects the rights of the holders of the Loan
Notes for the Loan of 9,000,0000. Under the terms of that Loan it
is to be repaid at 104 per cent., but only out of the actual profits of
the line from Amsterdam to Arnheim, of which a separate account
will therefore be kept. In the meantime the Loan Note Folders re-
ceive interest at 4% per cent. per annum, and in addition are enti-
tled to one-forth of the net profits of that portion of the line, and the
other three-fourths are to be applied in liquidation of the Loan Notes,
to be determined by lot.
The Company have power to buy up the Loan Notes, and it is
provided that in the meantime the amount of any Loan Notes which
have been paid off out of profits may be replaced out of the capital
of the Company, to as to make those profits applicable to a dividend
amongst the Shareholders, inasmuch as the principal so paid off will
be ultimately receivable from the Government, in the event of the
repurchase of the railway.
In settling with the Concessionaires, the Company will at once be
credited for the 9,000,000f1., and will have to pay only the balance,
so that it will notnecessary to call for the 9,000,00011., except as it
maybe paid off to the Loan Note holders.
A deposit of 360., or 31. per share, is payable within one month
from the date on which the Statutes received the Royal sanction;

Messrs. Parr, Lyon, and Greeriall,Warrington ; Messrs. Moss and
Co., Liverpool ; the Manchester and Liverpool District Banking
Company, Stockport; and Messrs. Curries and Co., and Messrs.
Barclay and Co., London.
The object of this railway is to provide the best and most direct
communication between Stockport and Warrington and thence to
Liverpool, which latter object will be effected by means of this rail-
way in conjunction with the extension of their line about to be made
by the Grand Junction Railway Company from Warrington.
At Stockport the line will communicate with the Manchesterand
Birmingham Railway and the branch from Stockport to Ashton,
thereby affording to the manufacturing population of Stockport and
its vicinity, and to all the densely populated district intersected by
the Sheffield and Manchester Railway, the most direct approach to
Liverpool.
There will be a Junction near Altrincham with the Manchester
South Junction and Altrincham Railway.
Arrangements have been made with the Board of the St. Helens
Railway Company, which will enhance the value of the proposed
line, and negotiations are in progress for giving to Chester and Bir-
kenhead an excellent communication.
The Grand Junction Railway Company have agreed to provide a
nortion of the capital, and to promote the formation of this line by
every means in their power. T -
The line will follow the Valley of the Mersey, and presents no
engineering difficulties ; the gradients are extremely good ; the works
are unusually light ; little or no ornamental or valuable property will
be interfered with ; and the project is strongly supported by local
influence.

This line of railway has been projected to complete the chain of
communication between the Eastern and Midland Counties of Eng-
land and the Western parts of the Island. By this important scheme
a direct communication will be opened from the Eastern Counties,
through Darby and Stafford, to Chester and Liverpool, by the Grand
Junction Railway—to North Wales and Holyhead, by the projected
Trent Valley Continuation—and to Central Wales, by the Manchester
and Birmingham Continuation. It may, therefore, be certainly an-
ticipated that all, or nearly all the through traffic ftom Norfolk,
Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, and the Southern parts of Yorkshire,
to Liverpool, Shropshire, Cheshire, North and Midland Wales, Ire-
land, and the West of Scotland, must pass over this line.
On reference to the map, it will be seen that the most important of
the existing and projected railways in the East of England centre at
Derby; and thoSe on the Western coast at Stafford. The proposed
railway will supply the important desideratum of a direct line of corn-
mnnication between these two great railwaycentres.
_ Independent, however, of the through- traffic, which is sufficient
of itself not only to justify but to compel the formation of a railway
from Derby to Stafford, the projected line will supply a much•wanted
means of communication between large commercial and manufac-
turing tctwns, and accommodate the inhabitants of an exceedingly
populous district. The local traffic alone will be sufficient to afford
an ample return upon the capital invested; and as this railway must,
from its important position, command, in addition, a great amount of
through traffic, there is no doubt it will prove a most desirable in-
vestment.
The country has been carefully surveyed, and the line can be con-
structed at an exceedingly moderate cost, not only without inter-
- ferenee with, but greatly assisting the" existing and pr: jetted lines
with which it will be connected.. - -
The usual clause will be inserted to limit the responsibility of tl:e
shareholders to the amount of their respective subscriptions.
In consequence of several influential gentlemen in Stafford and
Uttoxeter having recently been added to the Provisional Committee,
it has been thought proper to extend the time of application for
shares from parties locally interested to the 15th instant, when the
list will be finally closed. The Committee beg to intimate that the
number of shares they will be able to allot to the publio will neces-
sarily be very limited.
Pudon, July 3,154 b.

Charing-cross, pro tem.
The proposed railway is intended' to connect the assize town of
Omagh with the important city of Armagh, now the centre of all the
railways in the north of Ireland.
The line will commence at Omagh, where it will connect itself with
the Londonderry and Enniskillen station at that town, and, sassing
through or near to Ballygawley, Fintona, Cloglier, and Augher,
Auchnacloy, Caledon, and Kiliylea, terminates at Armagh, where it will
form a junction with the Ulster Railway to Belfast, the Inland Line
to Dublin, the Newry and Ennisk lien, and also the Armagh, Co7e-
rains, and Pertrush Railways.
By this line of railway, the inhabitants of Tyrone and the adjacent
counties will be afforded the most direct and expeditious mode of ac-
cess to Armagh, Newry, and Belfast ; and as the distance between
Omagh mid Dublin will be by this line twenty miles shorter than that
proposed by any other company now rojected, the whole goods and
passenger traffic from the north-western and north-midland parts of
Ireland in the direction of the metropolis will pass over this railway.
To those acquainted with the county of Tyrone, and the ordinary
course of its traffic to Belfast and Newry, it must be obvious that
this railway will afford facilities for the transit of goods and pas-
sengers, which mast be at once a great accommodation to the public
and most remunerative to shareholders.
The entire lengb of the line will be about 35 statute miles, The
traffic returns justify the expectation that the Shareholders will
derive at least 8 per cent, interest on their capital for the present,
with every prospect of a progressive increase from the improved
traffic which railway communication invariably produces.
Power will be taken to all nv interest at 4 per. cent. per annum on
the deposits and calls till the line be opened.
The detailed prospectus and map may be had at the Company's
offices as above. Applications for Shares may be made in the sub-
joined form, to the' Solicitors and Secretaries, at their resrective

The Committee of Management, in acquainting their Shareholders
that the necessary preparations are being made to prosecute this un-
dertaking in the next session of Parliament, have also the satisfaction
of stating, that while considerable engineering improvements will be
made in the line, the main features which obtained for it the favour-
able report of the Board of Trade, will be preserved. The Committee
are in negotiation with the London and Birmingham Railway Com-
pany and the Birmingham Canal Company, for the construction of
the portion of the main line from Birmingham to Wolverhampton, on
the banks of the Canal, the result of which will be advantageous to
the Shareholders in the saving of cost and distance on this portion of
the line; the whole line will also be constructed with the additional
assistance and superintendence of Mr. R. Stephenson.
The Committee have also determined upon the construction of a
branch from the main line to the mining district of Coalbrook Dale,
in connexion with other projected railways, and also in extending the
main line from Shrewsbury to join a railway which has been pro•
jeeted-b3 the Oswestry, and Chester Company, to Welsh-
pool and Newtown. Full powers will be taken in the new Parlia-
mentary contract and subscribers' agreement for these purposes, and
to undertake other branches and extensions, which the Committee
haVe ht bealcmplation, with a view to ensure a profitable return to
the proprietors:
The subscribers' agreement and contract, requisite for complying
with the Standing Orders of Parliament in the next session, will lie
for signature at the Company's office, from Monday, the 7th of July,
until Saturday, the 19th, after which they will be transmitted to the
Company's agents in the country.
The Committee are happy to be able to state that the local interest
in favour of this railway continues unabated ; and, as far as they can
at 'present form a judgment, they are satisfied that no further de-
posit will be required for prosecuting the Bill in the next session of
Parliament. _

NEWARK and SHEFFIELD RAILWAY,
and EXTENSION SCHEME into LINCOLNSHIRE.
The Committee of Management have much pleasure in announcing
that in consequence of the great and influential support they have
received in Lincolnshire, as well as along the line of their original
project, they will be prepared to bring forward in the next session of
Parliament an integral scheme, based on the recommendation of the
Board of Trade, with good gradients, and shorter than any other line
projected or existing, direct from Boston to Sheffield, to be called the
BOSTON, NEWARK, and SHEFFIELD RAILWAY.
4•-EnsftleerS and.Sneveyors arc now engaged on the rproposedy line.
and it is confidently toped that the enormous Iraffic so fully
_proved
and admitted before the Committee of the House of Commons, in the
case of the Newark and Sheffield Railway, and which will be so
greatly extended by the new project, will ensure success in Parlia-
ment, and an ample remuneration to the Shareholders.
The following gentlemen will be on the Provisional Committee,
which is not yet complete, but will shortly be published with a de-
tailed prospectus, and include a large number of influential parties
connected with the town of Boston :

The Brhish and Irish Ullloll,Ratlway Company has heen recently
formed to connect. with Ireland the manufacturing- districts of Eng-
land, and some of the southern counties of Scotland. It is now pro-
posed to complete the cnnrie•xion between Scotland and Ireland, and
supply the remaining connecting link along the Ayrehire and Gal-
loway coast, by making a line, from the terminus of the Glasgow and
Ayr Railway, at A3-r, to join the British and Irish Union Railway at
or near Stranraer.

These two linerof railway will be mutually beneficial; and th..y
both stand hi the happy situation that no opposition line can well I,e
contrived to affect their traffic.

The local advantages of the railway now proposed are duly appre-
ciated by the landowners generally, through whose estates the lines
will pass, and the necessary land for- the,railway will be acquired by
the Company at little. cost. . -
The GlasgoW and Belfast niton Railway will secure to Edinburgh,
Glasgow, -and the rest of Scotland, the speediest intercourse with Ire-
land,
and the shortest sett'passage between the two countries (a pas-
sage, with good steamers, of less that, an hour and a half), and at
the Same time will open up railway communication from Glasgow,
Ayr, Girvan, and the whole manufacturing and mineral districts (f
Ayrshire, to the great natural harbour of Lochryan.
The local traffic froin
.the rich and improving county of Wigton,
and the transport of coal along the line for the supply of that county,
will be very considerable ; and when the Railway now proposed is
formed, a large portion of the,trallic trom Ireland to Glasgow, Edin-
burgh, and the'. north and West of Scotland, will also pass along the
line. The immense and rapidly increasing trade. of Glasgow and
Btafast gives assurance of the thane .between those two places being
great and profitable. The eennty of Ayr, through which chiefly the
proposed Railway Hill pass, Is unusually rich in mineral and agricul-
tural produce, and manufactures : and along this line, these will be
carried to the shipping ports of Ayr, Girvan, Ballantrae, and
Lochryan. - -
The entire length of the line will be about tiny-four miles. The
Railway is proposed to pass through the flat country, south of Ayr—
along the vale of Girvan, through which it will proceed to, or near
the manufacturing town and shipping port of Girvan—and thence in
the best line to Lochryan, anti Stranraer, the Most populous town In
Galloway.
'I he Provisional Committee have been assured by Mr. Miller, the:
engineer of the Glasgow and Ayr Line, that the Railway will be com-
pleted for less than the proposed capital.
The Directors of the GlasgoW, Paisley, Kilmarnock. and Ayr Rail-
way have agreed with the ProVisional Committee to take a lease of
this Railway, when completed, for 999 years, and to pay four per
cent. interest on the cost stated its the Prospectus ; and to divide
equally with this company the surplus profits, after deducting the ex-
penses of working the line at the rate of 33 1-3 per cent.
It is provided by the Act 8 Victoria, c. 17, that ne Shareholder
shall be liable for payment of any debt or demand due, or to become
due by the Company, beyond the extent of his share its the capital of
the Company.
