The supply of local railway accommodation to the important districts embraced by the line. 2. The benefit of railway communication with the metropolis to a district of country upwards of 5u miles In length at present =provided with that accommodation. 3. The completion of the chain of railway commnnication between the river Severn and the southern and western counties, and the north-eastern districts of the kingdom and the river Humber, and its ports, including that cf nun. Commeociug at the town of Northtunpton, in Onotion with that London and Birmingham, and the lines of railway proposed to con ver,:e at that town from t heltenham, and the west iron) Worcester and from Warwick, the line will proe,ed in a direct course io the market town of Kettering, by which place all the companies com peting for the line of railway between London and Manchester pro pose to pass. It will then proceed, also, in a direct course to the market towns of Uppingham, Oakhani, and Grantham, to Lincoln. The country lying between the towns of Northampton and Gran tham is wholly without existing or even proposed railway accommo dation, not only to the smith, but lso to the north. At Lincoln the line will hot, and proceed on the one hand in a northerly direction to the flourishing pert Gainshorough, and on the other by a north-eastern course to the market town of Market Raisoi, on the rising port ot Great Grimsby. By an tation with the Sheffield and Great Grimsby Junction Rail way at Market Raiser), a d rect and uninterrupted chain of commu nication will be established between all the above-mentioned district); • and the town and port of Hull. The sources of traffic which this line will secure are various anti very considerable ; some of them only can be here enumerated, viz.:— Starting from Great Grimsby the line will appropriate to itself the whole of the traffi c thence to tho metropolis, and also the southern .ankt western districts of t h e country, and, in addit'on, it will secure the impOrtant and increasing local traffic between that town and Market Raisen and Lin co l n . From Gatinsborough, the termi n i o f severa l ra llways from the north and north- wes t, thi s li ne will carry the traffic to Lincoln, its county town. The trallic from Hull to the metropolis, and also to the west, will enter upon this line at Market Itaisvn, and proe:ed thereon to Lincoln. Frcan Lincoln the whole of the traffic passing to the west and the intermediate towns must pass over this line. In the event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not obtaining the'r Bill, then the traffic from Lincoln to the south and west, and also the metropolis, will pass along tlds line of railwa y; the former the whole distance, and the latter at ally event t• Gran tham, a distance of about twenty-five miles ; and should the London and York Company not succeed, such traffic will proceed on to Ket tering or Northampton. The entire distri‘et between Grantham and Kettering, a distance of more than forty miles, and including the market towns of Oakham and Upping,ham, is without railway or water-carriage accommoda tion, and the whole of its traffic theretbre will travel over this line of railway, which will be in the direct course not only t• the west but also to London. At Kettering this line will unite with that one of the now com peting schemes passing that town from Manchester and Leicester to London which shall be successful betbre Parliament. The country is free from engineering difficulties, with one or two exceptions only, and those are more than counterbalanced by the very favourable gradients of by far the greate: portion of the line ; indeed, far many miles the line will run upon a water level. The lire will not interfere with any ornamental property. The landowners on the line are favourable to the undertaking._ The promoters reserve pow, r to alter awl vary the route, and ex tend the proposed line of railway, and to Increase the amount of capital, as may be necessary or advisable.

The main line to be laid down by the Company will be considerably less than 100 miles, throughout which the strongest encouragement and support have been manifested towards this railway by the landed proprietors, many of whom have determined to invest capital in the undertaking ; and the engineer's report precludes any apprehen. sion of engineering difficulties. The great public utility and com. mercial advantages of railway communication between the important places and ports which it is now contemplated to unite must be at once appreciated by reference to a map of the country, and they will be forcibly illustrated by the objects to be attained by this Company. _ of the Great ' This line is intenclid to begin at Bristol by Western Railway, and passing throug te h Bath m Bradford,teao n Bs andt h thence e to te n it will skirt the valley of the Avon, obtained Trow Trowbridge. d l' e w s t e o y , , ,, on to Basingstoke, to ge .

The line will commence at Lincoln, at thejunction of the projected ra lway from Lynn Regis to Lincoln, and proceed from thence across the country through East Retford to Sheffield, and there join the Sheffield and Manchester Railway. Should the projected line from Macclesfield to Sheffield be carried into efrect, it will then add anther important commercial town to those already ad verted to, and increase the traffic to a vast extent. , A reference to the map will readily show the great importance and utility of such a line. A more than usual revenue may b e calculated upon in the goods traffic from those great emporiums of commerce above alluded to, without taking into consideration the immense passen,er traffic which must necessarily arise upon so important a line of railway, Every regard will be paid to local accommodation, and a close scrutiny will convince those who are aware of the exigencies of the towns and districts embraced within the scope of the intended line of the advantages which must accrue from it.

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 will 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 Whitacre, whence a new line, about 29 miles in length, will be made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Castle Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid land Counties Railway The communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will be carried forward as far as Gainsborough, either by the proposed Not tingham and Gainsborough Railway, or by a line springing out of the . . line from Nottingham to Lincoln, for which an Act was obtained by the Midland Counties Company during the last session of Parliament. From Gainsborough this railway will proceed to Barton-on-the- Slumber, or New Holland, in the immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby rendering complete and entire the chain •f communication between Birmingham and Hull. By this project the advantages will result to the public of a Direct line from Birmingham to Nottingham, 10 Birmingham to Gainsborough, and from Birmingham to Hull; and by mrat.s of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Railway, and the intended extension to Ashl , y-de-la-Zouch, a direct line from Wolverhampton to Nottingham, and the other t•wns already enu merated. The support of several comnanies will be enlisted in favour of the lire, which, together with Its own merits, will ensure its success in Parliament. As a considerable portion of the line of communication is already made, or in progress, the time required for the completion of this great national undertaking will he materially shortened. Independently of the advantages to be derived by a direct commu nication between the important seaport of Hull and the mining and manufacturing districts of Warwickshire and Staffordshire, a large traffic in timber, corn, metals, &c., may be confidently expected. The revenue of the Company, in addition, will be derived from the great thorough traffic from Birmingham and the midland counties to Nottingham and Gainshorough, and the immense traffic from Bir mingham to Hull, the!port at which the exports are shipped to llam burgh, the German States, and the North of Europe ; and from the conveyance of merchardise, agricultnral produce, and cattle from the Southern, western, and midland counties. A preference will he given in the allotment of shares 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 he liahle 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 of payment upon each call until the opening of the line. No applications will be attended to without a reference to a member oftho Committee, a banker, or the solicitors to this Company. The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip certifi cates, of which due notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by any party making: default in the execution of those deeds will be for felted. Plans and prospectuses, with forms of applications for shares, may he had of the Solicitors, and of the following Stock and Sharehrokers, viz. :—Messrs. Westropp, and Prinsep, 75, Old Broad-street.; Mr. IL Pritchett, 1. Royal Exchange-buildings; Messrs. Hitchins and Harrison, lg. Thre , dneedle-street ; and Messrs.

Any attempt to distinguish the number of passengers proceed ing to or from London, or the provinces and the continent by the South Eastern and Dover Rail.vay, would be abortive; but the published statements of that Company show that the traffic ex. ceeds 8,0001. weekly, and the accounts of arrivals at, and departures from Calais, Boulogne, and Ostend, exhibit an astonishing number of persons as passengers to and from England weekly, by Dover and Folkenstone, throughout the whole of the year. Yielding to the metropolis otie.half of the number as a large proportion, the remaining half will belong to the provinces and Ireland, who will probably prefer to be conveyed from or to their localities without the annoyance of being compelled to pass through London, es. pecially as the saving of distance alone will considerably diminish expenses. The construction of this line of railway can hardly fail to meet 1 the full approvol of the Government ; as, besides its g rea t com mercial utilit y, t h e convenience it will afford for the speedy Iran. isport of tro o p s f rom Ireland, or the north, south, or west of Eng land to Dover, in a direct manner, avoiding the present necessity of marching them across London or ether towns, after they are once placed in railway carriages, must be greatly appreciated ; and where it is expedient that expedition and secrecy should be observed in the removal of troops, the means offered by this Company will greatly assist the authorities in facilitating their objects. The railways already constructed or projected with which this line of railway will effect a union or communication, and recipro cate, advantages exceed fifty ;al number (as will be seen by examin ing any railway map), and all of them must be in direct commu nication with, and will feed, or be fed by The Southern Counties Union, and Bristol, Both, and Dover Direct Railway ; the most important junctions being those leading to this line from the north and the manufacturing districts by Oxford to Dovor and Brighton, those from Ireland, North Wales by Cheltenham or Oxford and this railway to Dover or Brighton, and those from the south and west of England by Salisbury to Dover; thus effecting a con tinuance and direct intercourse with nearly every part of Eng land, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and the continent. The census returns show that this railway will pass through a country containing a population of upwards of one million, and this number, though large, may be fairly multiplied several times, if all the other parts of the kingdom which will benefit by it be eau. sidered. With these facts before them, the promoters have not deemed it necessary to put forth estimates of traffic ; the soundness of the project being guaranteed by the truths already given in this brief exposition, and the great objects intended to be compassed by this Company, LOCAL •GENTS.
