PROSPECTUS.
The objects intended to be accomplished by this undertaking are —I. The formation of a direct line of railway between Hull and rho
metropolis.
2. The supply of Ideal railway actommodation to the Important
districts embraced by the line.
3. The benefit of railway communication with the metropolis ex-
tended to a district of country, west of Grantham, upwards of 50 miles
in length at present unprovided with that accommodation.
4. The completion of the chain of railway communication between
Bristol, Gloucester, 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 of Hull.
5. The connecting of the two important purts of Hull and South-
ampton by ono continuous cha'n of railways.
Commencing at the town of Northampton, in conjunction with the
London and Birmingham, the Northampton, itanbury, and Chelten-
ham, and the other lines of railway proposed to converge at that
town from the west, from Worcester and front 'Warwick, the
line will proceed in a direct course to the market town of Kettering,
by which place all the companieS competing for the line of railway
between London and Manchester propose to pass. It will then pro-
ceed, also, in a direct course by the market towns of- LTppingliam,
Oakham, 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, pot only to time south, but :Aso to the, north.
From Lincoln the line will pioceed byithe shortest and best practi-
cable course to
The sources of traffic which this line will secure are 'various and
very considerable ; sonic of theta only can be here enumerated.
They are,—.
Starting from Hull the line will appropriate to itself the whole of
the traffic thence to the Metropolis, Bristol, Southampton, Glonecs-
ter, Oxford, Cheltenham, and the whole of the Sonthetu and Western

thaintermediate towns.
In the event,of the Cambridge and Lincoln Itlilway Company nut
obtaining their Act of Parliament, then the traffic from the before..
mentioned places and Lincoln to the south and west, aleo to the me-
, tropolis, 1%111 Naas along this line of railway ; The former the'whole
distance, and the latter in any ercnt to Grantham, a distance of about
twenty-five miles ; and should the London and York Company nct
stleeced.•-such &attic will proceed further to Kettering or Nertharopton,
The Emilie district between Grantham and-Kettering, a distance of
more than forty miles, and including the market towns of Oakhant

tion, and the whole of io traffic theretbre will travel over this hoe of
railway, which will be in the direct course not only to the west batbatalso to London.

Lomita& Which shall he successful before Parliament,
presents to the capitalist, as well as to the public at large, the Pro.
visional Directors do not think it necessary, with reference Ito the, supposed traflle or otherwise, to say incite ,than that they fully be-
lieve that the return will be, upon the capital required, highly re-
Muntrative. •
The country is free from engineering difficulties, with one or two
exeeptlong only, and-those are,more than counterbalanced by the very
favourable gradients of by far the greats: portion of the line ; indeed,
for many miles the line will run upon a water level.
The lice will not interfere with any ornamental property.
The promoters have made every necessary arrangement for the
active prosecution of the undertaking, and for applying .to Parlia-
ment in the ensuing session.:
No call will be made, with the exception of the deposit, till the Act
is obtained, and power will be applied for in the Act of Parliament,
to allow Interest at the rate of 41. per cent: per annum on all calls from
the date of their payment,- and to limit the liability of each share-
holder to the amount of his subscription.
The landowners on the line are favourable to the undertaking.
The promoters reserve power to alter and vary the route, to ex-
tend the proposed line of railway to Great 2rimsby or elsewhere,
and to increase the amount of capital, as may be necessary or ad.
visahle.

Prospectuses -and Plans may be obtained on application to any of
the several Solicitors or Local Agents, the Secretary, or to the fol-
lowing Brokers, viz. :—Messrs. Peppercorns and Co., 2, Old Broad-
