This railway- will form, as nearly as may be practicable, a direct
line from Reading, in Berkshire—one of the • ost important and
ra?idly improving towns in the kingdom—to the large and populous
town of Northampton, where it will form a junction with the
Northampton and Peterborough Railway
The line will proceed from,the Reading station of the Great Western
. Railway, and by the way of Henley-on-Thames, Great Marlow,
West Wycombe, Aylesbury, and Buckingham, through some of the
richest and most fertile districts of England, from whence vast
supplies of liva stock and agricultural produce are constantly fur-
nished to the metropolis ; and from Buckingham it will be continued
direct to Blisworth and Northampton.
From Blisworth a line proceeds to Wellingborough, and forms a
function with the Direct Manchester Railway; and it is intended
that a branch shall be formed from West 'Wycombe to the station at
Slough, on the Great Wo_ktel n Railway

I The proposed Um: with the branch will be about seventy-Ave miles
in length, and it -has ban a-icertaincd that it may be constructed
with unusual facility, ,vhilst, by means of the intended junctions with
the Great Western !Ltd way at Faou-,;11 and Reading, with the London
and Birmingham Railway at Illisworth, and the Direct Manchester
Railway at Wellingborough, an uninterrupted and most desirable
railway communication will be opened between Portsmouth, etos.
port, the, Isle of Wight, ;Southampton,
.43edford, iittateseen, the

Staffordshire Potteries, Birmingham, Derby, Leicester, Manchester,
Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle and Berwick, and with the great manu-
facturing and mining* districts of the north of England.
The numerous parishes and districts which will be traversed by the
line comprise a population of nearly 1,500,000 persons, and passing,
as it will, a p..rtion of the counties of Merits and Oxford, the whole
of Buckinghamshire, and by the celebrated Yale of Aylesbury, adm
uniting with the several completed or projected railways under-
mentioned, viz.:--
The London and Birmingham
The Great Western
The Southampten Union
The South Midland
The Midland Counties
The Northampton and Leicester
The Northampton and Peterborough, and thus with
The Direct Manchester
it cannot be doubted that it must prove extremely convenient and
beneficial to the public, and highly advantageous to the prop: ietors.
The liability of the shareholders will be restricted by .ect of Par-
liament to the amount of their subscriptiohs, and power will be ap-
plied for in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum on all
calls, front the passing of the Act until the opening of the line.
Arrangements have been made that the survey shall be completed,
and the plans and sections deposited in time for obtaining au Act
during the ensuing eeseion of Parliament.
Applications for shares may be addressed, in the form an-exed, to

This line is projeeted by several of the principal merchants and in-
habitants of the towns, and the owners and occupiers of land, through
or near which it will pass.
The object is not only to give to Stamford, Market Deeping, Crow-
land, and Long Sutton, the advantages of a direct railway to the
port of Sutton-bridge, but also to atiord to Leicester, Birmingham,
Nottingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and the manufhcturlng districts,
a like communication, by means of the several projected railways
proceeding from Stamford, Sutton-bridge Port, beside being the
nearest on the eastern coast to Birmingham and the midland coun-
ties, has greater qualifications than any other port between Harwich
and Hull. Advantageously situate with regard to the Wash, it is al-
ways accessible to vessels of the largest burden, while the ports of
Boston, Wisbeach, and Lynn, at times are not so ; indeed, in winter
the river, proceeding about eight miles beyond Sutton-bridge to
IVisbeach, is altogether impassable.

The trustees of Guy's Hospital, to whom a great part of Sutton-
bridge Port, as well as of the town, belongs, have determined to form
a commodious dock and slip way, and to do everything requisite for
affording the best and safest accommodation. The proposed railway
.has their cordial support, and arrangements will be made to bring it
as near to the docks as possible.
A large portion of the traffic from the Baltic is already brought to

this port, and the extensions and Improvements before mentioned will
doubtless insure a very considerable increase, which, as well as the
greater part of the traffic before carried on to Wisbeach, the proposed
railway will convey inland to Birmingham and other important towns
and districts before referred to, bringing in return every species of
merchandise for exportation. To the rich and highly-cultivated land,

and the extensive grazing grounds through or near which the line
will proceed, it will be of great advantage, affording the means of

conveying the produce to the manufacturing towns and districts, and
giving a means of supplying their daily increasing population. A
large return upon the capital may, therefore, be confidently anti-
cipated.
Mr. Fulton, one of the Company's acting engineers, has reported
that the country to be traversed is almost entirely level (being a portion
of the Lincolnshire flats), and that the line can be made at much less
than the usual cost. The necessary measures are proceeding to com-
ply with the standing orders, and the Bill will be applied for in the
ensuing session of Parliament. The project, emanating from parties
having the deepest interest in its success, has the strongest local
support.

The Committee raerve to themselves the power of making any
deviations in the line, of increasing the capital, and of entering into
such arrangements with the companies of other railways as may be
deemed advisable. Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest,
at the rate of V. per cedt. per annum, upon the paid-up capital, until
the opening of the line.
In the allotment of shares the owners of property, and parties

locally' nterested along the line, will have a large pioPortion: Ap-
plicants not locally interested, or not known to a member of the
Committee, must refer to some respectable broker, banker, or
solicitor.

Applications for shares may be addressed, in the form annexed, to
