THE LONG-ESTABLISHED BOOT AND SHOE
WA E H OUSE,
NO. 24, PARADISE STREET.
PROPRIETORS, GEORGE SIDNEY AND CO.
BOOTS and SHOES, unlike most other things, pos-
sess-1-, no novelty or attraction beyond their excellence
and cheapness, nor would the embellishments of a fine
shop add to their durability.
The celebrity of this Shop for good BOOTS and
SHOES has long been proverbial in Liverpool, and the
Proprietors respectfully assure their Friends and the
Public, that, at no period since its establishment, were
they ever sold sa cheap as at the present time. The in-
convenience of its locality, Paradise. street, from the
recent improvements of adjoining thoroughfares, may
have brought more splendid shops to the gaze of the
public eye: but the more solid advantage of buying a good
article for a small price, must always form the chief re-
commendation of this long-established Shoe Warehouse.
The public's obedient Servants,
GEORGE SIDNEY and Co.
Manufactories : Liverpool, Stafford, and Northampton.
Agent for Liverpool, A. HUMPHREYS, No. 24,
Paradise-street.

CAPITAL.
£400,000, in 16,000 Sha'res of £25 each ; Deposit, £3 per
Share; (.£2 10s. for the Deposit of 10 per cent. re-
quired by the Standing Ordrrs, and 10s. for Parlia-
mentary and Engineering Expenses.)

The advantages of Railway Communication, both to the
country through which it passes and to the Projectors_,
when prudently undertaken and carried out, are too well
known and apreciated to need any argurr.,•nts in its favour.
This Railway will be twenty-five miles in length, midi&
intended to connect the important towns of Hastings,
(including St. Leopards.) Rye, and Tenterden, and the
adjacent country, with the South Eastern Railway at •
Headcorn, and the forms required by the Standing Or- .
ders, preparatory to applying for an Act having been com-
plied with, it is intended to go to Parliament in the ensuing
Session, for the necessary powers to carry the undertaking '
into effect.

A single line of rails will be quite sufficient for the anti-'
cipated traffic of the proposed Railway, and Mr. Erring-
ton on behalf of Mr. Locke baying examined the plans
and sections, has estimated the. expense of constructing
a single Line, including bridges for a double line, and sta-
tions and sidings at £345,000. The Provisional Com-
mittee, from their knowledge of the district and from the
best information: they can obtain, estimate the cost of
land and compensation, Parliamentary expenses, &c. at
£55,000, making a total capital of £400,000, which they
feel confident will be amply sufficient for the construction
of the Line.

The Committee have made careful inquiries from the
most authentic sources, namely the Proprietors of Coaches
and other Conveyances on the line of the proposed Rail-
way; the result of which is given in the annexed Table,
shewing a present traffic of £737 per week, exclusive of a
considerable amount of private traffic, the returns of
which cannot be ascertained. •
This traffic, according to the computation allowed by
Parliamentary Committees, as the result of the incrersed
facilities of Railway communication, and which is below
the average, as shewn by experience, would Make the re-
ceipts on the proposed Railway amount to 471471 tier week,
making a gross annual income of £76,648
From which deduct for working expenses 40 per ct. 30,660

Leaving a Nett Income of
Or upwards of 11 ter cent on the estimated outlay.
The Committee have the satisfaction to state,'that they
have entered into an arrangement with the Directors of
the South Eastern Company (subject to approbation
of their Proprietors). by which that t
anCompy .will engage
at any time, within five years from its opening, to take a
lease of the Hastings Line for twenty-one years, at such
a rent -as shall guarantee to the Proprietors 4 .per cent.
per annum on the 'cost of its construction to the extent
of t}'e estimate, with a moiety of the nett surplus profitS
beyond the rental; thus giving to the Proprietors of this
undertaking the opportunity of working the contemplated
Line themselves for five years, with the option, should it
be deemed more advantageous at any time within that
period, of requiring the South Eastern Company to take
a lease for twenty-one years, at a rental, securing to The
Proprietors a certain fair return for their capital, with a
proportion of the surplus benefits likely' to arise from a
union of management, and a consequent reduCtion of ex-
penses. _

The Committee have looked carefully thronili the last
Census, and find that the population in' the immediate
neighbourhood of the proposed line amounts to upwards.
of 60,0000. And upon examining the retiir'ns made at
the respective Custom Houses of Hastings arid Rye And
Shoreham, the Committee find that the present exports
from Hastings and Rye exceed those of Shcireharn, with-
out allowing for any increase, which will Unquestionably be
caused by the intended Raikay.
Two months' notice will be given of all Calls ; and not
more than £2. 10s. per share will be called for at one

Power will be applied for in the Act to allow interest at
4 per cent. per annum, on Deposits and paid up Calls.
Applications for snares to be made to Messrs. Astroav,
SEWELL, & MOORES, Throamorton Street, London ; Mr.
FOWLS, Mint Street, Rye; Mr. &I/EWELL. 25, Token-
house Yard, Loudon; Messrs. REYNOLDS & SoN, Liver-
pool; and Mr. JOHN DUNCUFT, Manchester.
