THIS Undertaking, commencing on the Banks of the
Navigable River Trent at Newark, passing through
the Towns of Southwell and Mansfield, and connecting it-
self, at Chesterfield, with the existing and projected Mid.
land Railways, will form a continuous and direct commu-
nication between the Agricultut al and producing districts
of Nottinghamshire and the South Eastern parts of the
Kingdom on the one hand, and the large consuming
Towns and Districts of West Yorkshire, Lancashire,
Cheshire. and the Port of Liverpool on the other.
In the event of the proposed London and York L'ne
being carried into effect, this Railway will also form the
connecting link between Manchester, Sheffield, and the
Metropolis, and will afford, by means of the London and
York Line, the shorter communication from the Metro-
polis to these important towns.
A careful examination of the Country through which
this Line will pass, by Engineers of acknowledged emi-
nence, enables the promoters to state, that it may be
constructed with facility, and that its character is such as
to justify a confidence that it must prove highly remune-
rative to the proprietary, taking into consideration the
great amount of Traffic which must necessarily lass along
it, whether as regards Passengers, Merchandise, and
Agricultural Produce, or Minerals, inasmuch as the Dis-
trict is not provided with any means of Transit beyond the
ordinary Turnpike Roads,
Twelve Daily Coaches are how required to convey the
Passenger Traffic through the District Which this Line
will accommodate, at once demonstrating its importance
and the necessity which exists for its construction.
This Lin*, intended to communicate with the existing
Mansfield and Pinxton Railway, at Mansfield, will form
the nearest and most direct route thlt can be made between
the Agricultural Districts to the East and South-east of
Newark and the great central Coal Field of Derbyshire
and Nottinghamshire, and thus enable the inhabitants of
those extensive Districts to supply themselves with Coals
of every quality at considerably less than two-thirds of the
present price.
The whole country, North and South, will, by this Rail-
way, and the others with which it will communicate, be
brought within easy reach of the well-known Quarries of
Building Stone with which the District of Mansfield and
Mansfield Woodhouse abounds ; as well as with the Lime
produced in that neighbourhood, so celebrated for build-
ing and other purposes.
The Promoters are enabled, after a careful analysis of
the Traffic which will come upon this Line, to state that a
profit of at least i per cent. will be realized upon the
estimated capital of X 600,000 after deducting '4O per cent.
for working expenses.

A Depo;it of £1 10s. per Share must be paid on the
allotment of shares, and the liability of subscribers will be
limited by the Act of Parliament to the amount of their
respective shares.
Power will be taken in the Act to allow Interest at the
rate of £4 per Cent. per Annum on the Deposits, as well
as on all future calls, from the date of each payment till
the opening of the whole Line, or until a Dividend be
declared.
The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Con-
tract will be ready for signature at the time the deposita
are received, and a copy will lie fur signature at one of the
Company's Bankers, at each of the following places :
London, Manchester, Sheffield, Chesterfield, Mansfield,
Southwell, Newark, and Nottingham.
References will be required from all applicants for
shares who are not known to some members of the Cow-
mittee, the Solicitors, or respectable Sharebiokers.
Applications for Shares, in the Form below, are re-
quested to be made to the Solicitors, Messrs. It. and R.
quested to be made to the Solicitors, Mesors. It. and R.
