The object of this line of railway is to connect by a direct route
the important town and seaport of Bos'on with the centre of Eng-
land, by way of Grantham and Melton Mowbray, where it will join
the Syston and Peterborough branch of the Midland Counties
Railway.
By this railway, which will be about fbrty-four miles in length,
and laid through a country
nearly level, it is intended to pass by or
near Swineshead, Donington, rolkhighaill. Grantham, Stoke, Ruch-
ford, and Melton Mowbray. It It evident that this line will be of
great convenience and utility, by aflbrding to a part of the country,
at present deprived of it, the advantage of railway communication
with the counties of Rutlandshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire,
Warwickshire, &e., and thus conneeting the agricultural districts of
Lincolnshire with the Manufacturing parts of England, affording to
the latter an easy and accessible means of eXport for their manufac-
tures. It is unnecessary to enlarge Upon the advantages which will
arise from this railway, Which paSseet through one of the richest and
most fbrtile parts of England. The population is dense, and a glance
at the map will show that this line Is well laid out, not only for the
direct traffic: from Leicester and the intermediate places to Boston,
but also for the general traffic which will be brought to this line by
the several railways which Will be connected with it.
In the alionnent of shares, holders in the Midland Counties Rail-
way will receive a preference, and reservation will be made for the
landed interests along time Him, whose concurrence and assistance is
ffilly relied on by the promoters, by whom most of the 11111tlent'al
landholders have been canvassed; and in order to prevent Unimees-
gory trouble, no other applicaeous Will be received except those
