MIDLAND AND SHEFFIELD AND LINCOLNSHIRE.
On Monday the directors of both these lines visited Grimsby,
to examine the progress of these important works, and from
thence to New Holland, to view the accommodation for
traffic at this point, with a view, we were given to under-
stand, of immediately arranging together to work traffic
from the North-Western and Midland to Hull, via the
Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, in preference to the Hull
and Selby and York and North Alidland, which will
be a
considerable acquisition to the Lincolnshire line, and no
doubt raise it much in value in the railway market.
