PROSPECTUS.
The formation of a Company to carry into effect the continuation
of a line of railway from Peterborough to Boston and Lynn respec-
tively, having been earnestly called for by a large body of wealthy
and highly influential landowners and residents of the counties of
Lincoln, Norfolk, and the adjoining districts, as being absolutely
necessary to supply the wants of the country through which the
line will pass, it is proposed to make a railway commencing at
Peterborough, proceeding to Eye., and thenoe continued in two
branches, the one passing by Thorney and Wisbeach to Lynn, the
other passing by Crowland, Spalding, Pinchbeck, &Meet, Gos-
berton, and Sutterton to Boston, thus making, by means of the
Northampton and Peterborough, and the Syston and Peterborough'
Railways, a direct communication from these important towns and
seaports with Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield.
B:c., and ultimately, by means of the London and Birmingham. and
Northampton, Banbury, and Cheltenham Railways, completing a
direct communication with Gloucester, Bristol, and the entire west
of England.
The extensive trade carried on at Lynn and Wisbeach, consisting.
among other things, of the export and import of timber, corn, win:,
fish, and agricultural produce, generally, must derive great Ivan,:

The great importance of the above lino of railway, not exceeding
64 miles in length, will be immediately seen by referring to the map.
It commences at the Farnborough station of the South-Western Rail-
.way, crossing the Great Western line between Slough and Maiden-
heed, and terminates on the Oxford and Rugby line of railway at
Heyford, beyond Oxford, on the route to Birmingham, accomme-
'dating in its course, Bracknell, Sunning-hill,Bagshot, Ascot, Windsor,
Great 3larlow, High Wycombe, Princes Risborough, Theme, Ricester,
and many other places at present without railway communication.
It will form the most direct route from London to Banbury, War-
wick, and Birmingham, and by the Grand Junction Railway to Man-
chester, Liverpool, Lancaster, and Carlisle, and by the Caledonian
Railway to Glasgow and Edinburgh ; also front Crewe to Chester.
Birkenhead, and Holyhead, thus opening the most direct communien-
tlon with Dublin.

.....
It will also, by a short branch to Woodstock, in connexion with
the Cheltenham and Oxford line, form the most direct route to South
Wales, Waterford, and the south of Ireland, as well as by the Ox-
'ford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line to Worcester, and conse-
quently to all the central portion of Wales, thus firming the shortest
'route to all Wales and Ireland.
To the advantages offered to the above places, by saving about
fourteen miles in the tranaits to London, must be added that of con-
necting them with the South-Western and the Reading and Reigate
Pries, affording passengers an opportunity of proceeding to South-
ampton, Portsmouth, Isle of Wight, Dover, Brighten, and all adja-
cent places, without the necessity of passing through the metropolis,
thereby saving much time and inconvenience.
The length of this line will not exceed 57 miles, and it will save as
average distance of 14 miles to each of the before-mentioned places,
as compared with the route now traversed by the Great Western
Railway. It is satisfactory to state that there are no engineering
difficulties, and that the land is the least valuable of any In the coun-
ties through which this line is intended to pass, avoiding, as it dOes.
parks and ornamental property.
It 'will be seen from the foregoing facts that the formation of this
line will afford very great advantages to nearly all parts of England,
Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, as it will materially facilitate the de-
livery of their many marketable products by opening another and
more direct route to London. It is not, therefore, too much to eX-
, peet that, independently of a great local traffic, there will be also an
immense through traffic brought on this line, Which must pay at
least 10 per cent. on the capital required. This is manifest, as the
construction of the line will not cost 20,0001. per mile. while the
London and Birmingham Railway cost 53,0001. per mile, upon which
enormous outlay it continues to ;ay 15 per cent.
Shareholders in the Grand Junction, Great Western, South
Western, Oxford and Rugby, Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhamp-
ton, and Birmingham and Oxford Junction Railways will have a pre-
ference in the allotment of shares after parties locally interested.
The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share-
holders beyond the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament
shall be obtained ; and power will be taken in the Act to allow four
per cent. interest on all calls until the line be completed, which.
11om the nature of the ground to be gone over,-is not expected to
exceed two years.
The Company reserves the power of forming a branch to Oxford.
if found necessary.
