portent purpose of Qom:keeling
firerjea/1" nt a Direst Main-Trunk Railway, for the kn.
the north of England. andßeettand,
ro k and L/neoln, with the metropolis, has been decided upon,
after mature Investigation and conviction of the public advantages

The line will commence near Klngts..erose, in the New.road, the

end and the City I it proceeds by Chipping Barnet, Biggleswade,
Newts, Huntingdon, near Peterborough and Market Deeping by
Stamfbrd, to the west of Bourn, east of Grantham, west of Sleeford,
and *twit of Newark, to Lincoln. and thence by Gainsborough,
Thorne. Sualth, and Selby, to York.
The distance by it between London and York will be 160 miles.
wilt be about 20 miles shorter than by any other proposed line,
t will reduce by 59 miles the present distance between London
and York, and will consequently by the some distance bring New.
trestle and Edinburgh nearer to the metropolis, while the distance
saved between London and Hull will be no less than 43 miles.
it will thrm the nearest route to Leeds, Selby, Hull, Halithx,
-Bradford, Huddersfield, Wakefield, Pontefract, and Sheffield ; thus
eenunanding the traMo of the manufacturing districts of Yorkshire,
as well as the traffic from the north of England, Scotland, Lincoln.
shire, and the other agricultural districts through which it passes.
Taking its course through a highly productive country, it em-
braces all the market towns of importance, and connects all Lin-
colnshire with the manufacturing districts and the metropolis.
It opens an easy communication between Norfolk and Bunblk, and the West and North of England.
The line, as will be seen by the map, does not interfere with the
drainage of the fen country, whilst it embrace( the most important
markets and towns of that district.
The inclinations are extremely favourable, and are obtained at a
moderate expense, there not being any engineering work of great
Magnitude on the line. The gunge will be the same as the exist-
ing lines through the manufacturing districts, and all loss of time
In travelling will be avoided, as the line wilt be an integral trunk
line Ruder one management.
The expense of construction being nioderate,and the distance so
much reduced, the fares will be proportionately less, and an ample
profit is sufficiently shown by the annexed abstract of the traffic
tables, which are the result of a most rigid investigation, and are
prepared as evidence for Parliament
The capital proposed to be. raised, namely, 4,000,0001., Is a sum
exceeding the engineers' estimate. It has, however, been thought
advisable to allow an ample margin for any increase of prices above
those of the present time.
The surveys were commenced in October last, and in March
last, the Direct Northern Line, and its advantages (together with
many ether trial lines, and their disadvantages), were carefully
brought to the consideration of many gentlemen well qualified to
ban an opinion on inch matters, and finally the:prospectrs, accorn.
Panted by a map on a sufficient scale, was published on the 4th of
April, 1044. This prospectus and map show the London terminus
at Xing's-cross.

At this date there was not betbre the publlo any other project
far a direct line of railway from London to York ; but when more
ban a month had elapsed from the time of the publication of the
Prospectus and Map of the Direct Northern Railway, the Cam-
bridge and York via Lincoln Railway Company (who had up to
that time adhered to an Indirect line by Cambridge to York)
changed their title to that of the London and York Railway Con.
pony, and their stated capital, which previously had varied. from
9,390,•()01. to 1,000,0001., was then, for the first time, named at
4,1)011,000t. In their new prospectus the London and York Cote.
Pany also adopted King's-cress for their London terminus.
Of the eon se entertained of these encroachments by the pro.
)R° of the Direct Northern Railway, the York and Linden
,
ctiPallY were duly apprised by a circular addressed to each mem.
of their Committee oa the 18th of Nay last, and signed by the
Secretary, Myer Amelnck.
A asap of the London and York Railway wee, however, pub.
lshod ie the latter part of August last, which, to the surprise of
the promoters of the Direst Northern Line, showed an attempt to
appropriate upwards of 70 miles from London of the published line
of the Direct Northern Railway.

Proiect if the London and York Railway Company falls

Heft from the following data:—
?Vine London to York the distance by the present lines of rail-
way is 210 milee ; by the proposed London and York line, stated
is be too miles; by the proposed Direct Northern Railway. 180

During tile progress of this undertaking, a very large proportion
of the landowners. en the line have been communicated with, and
consulted In_reference to it, and the full concurrence of that lin.
portant interest ta, with very few exceptions, confidently relied on.
Publie attention having been lately drawn to the atmospheric
principle, the Committee wish to observe that they are in a con-
dition to take advantage of that principle, should it eventually be

Landow to York can he seen at the offices of the Company, 84,

regard to the truffle and other matters.
The Parliamentary plan., &c., are in course of preparation, and
applieetion will he made for an Act of Incorporation in the ensuing

The deposit of fi pee cent., or 21. 10s. pee share, is necessary to
meet the requirement of the Parliamentary standing orders, but the
preliminary expenses will in no event exceed 10s, per share.
Interest at the rate of 41. per cent, per annum will be allowed on
