This line is projected 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 afford to Leicester, Birmingham,
Nottingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and the manufacturing districts,
a like communication, by means of the several projected railways
proceeding from Stamford, Sutten-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
Wisbeaoh, 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 11111 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 reserve 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 4/. per cent. per annum, upon the paid-up capital, until
the opening of the line.

In the allotment of shares the owners of property, and parties
locallyi nterestcd along the line, will have a large proportion. Ap-
plicants not locally Interested, or not known to a member of the
Committee, must refer to seme respectable broker, banker, or
solicitor.

Applications for shares may he addressed, in the form annexed, to
the secretary ; at the offices of the solicitors, Messrs. Walker and
Gridley, 5, Southampton-stre..t, Bloomsbury-square; to the local
agents above stated ; and to the folowing stock and sharcbrokers,
