It is proposed' by this Company to establish a direct line of commu-
nication between Birmingham; Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hull,
at the smallest outlay of capital, and with the least possible injury to existing interests. To effect this object, use will be made of existing
or projected lines, as far as practicable, and the chain of communica-
tion NS ill be completed by throwing out new lines, where requisite.
Commencing at Birmingham, it is proposed to use the Birmingham
and Derby Railway as far as Wbitacre, whence a new line, about 29
miles in length, will be made, pa ssing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and
Castle Donnington, to the Long, Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid-
land Counties Railway
The cationcommani being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will bo
carried ,orward fa as G atnsborough, either by the proposed Not-
tingham and Gainsborougir Railway, or by a line springing out of the
line from Nottingham to Lincoln, for which an Act was obtained by
the Midland Counties C,ompany during the last session of Parliament.
From Gainsborom,f,t this railway will proceed to Barton-on-the-
Humber, or New Ijollaud, in the immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby
rendering e,olnPle.te and entire the chain of communication between
Birmingham an.d Hun.
By this project the advantages will result to the public of a
D,lrect line from Birmingham to Nottingham.

The support of several companies will be enlisted in favour of the
!IPA, which, together with n. lts ow merits, will ensure its success in
Parliament.

As a considerable portion of the line of communication is aimidy
made, or in progress, the time required for the completion of this
aedmivand
great national undertaking will be materially shorteneddirect

The revenue of the Company, in addition, will be derived from the
great thorough traffic from Birmingham and the midland counties to
Nottingham and Gainsborough, and the immense traffic from Bir-
mingham to Hull, theport at which the exports are shipped to Ham-
burgh, the German States, and the North of Europe ; and Prom the
conveyance of merchandise, agricultural produce, and cattle from the
southern, western, and midland counties.
A preference will be given in the allotment of shires to landowners
on the line, and other local proprietors, as well as to directors and
shareholders in railways interested in supporting this undertaking.
No subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of the deposit
until the Act• Is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his
subscription.
The usual power will be taken to allow interest at the rate of four
per cent. from the time sr payment upon each call until the opening
of the line.
No applications will be attended to without a reference to a
member ofthe Committee, a banker, or the solicitors to this Company.
The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract mast be
executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip certifi-
cates, cf which due notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by
any party making default in the execution of those deeds will be for-
feited.
