770 stronger reCe.atmendation of this propi)sed line need be given
than the fact that, sirlee it was provisionally registered on the Bth of
Augast last, the idea of the project has been pirated by Companies
to whose cupidity the lines appear to hold the strongest temptations.
The object of th is Company is to form a direct communication between
the sin:stye ports of Lynn and Wisbeach, and the manufacturing
Midland *panties of England, by means of a direct railaYsty from
Lynn, throush Wisbeach to Peterborough, thereby completing the line
from the Eastern coast of England to Northamton and teLincon and Bir-
mingham, Manchester and Liverpool. The inhabitants of Lynn,
Wisbeach, and Peterborough will then enjoy the advantage of
a cheap and direct intercommaalcation between their respective
towns, while the important commercial interests Connected with
Jhe manufacturing and export trades between the Miclisind Counties
and the eastern parts of the coast, will have very valuable addaal
facilities afforded them.
Lynn and Wisbeach should be, and by the propene, line will be-
come, to Birmingham and the Midland Counties, what LlverPooMs
to Manchester, Lancashire, and the counties in the north. ;lore-
over, by the proposed line a direct railway intercourse will be estab•
lislied between Lynn, Wisbeach, Southampton, Bristol, Gloucester,
ke., as also between Lynn, and Swaff ham, Durham, Thetford, Nor-
*rich, and Yarmouth. On the other hand, proceeding northwards,
the line at Peterborough falls into the others which constitute the
great northern railways of England.
This line will not interfere with either of the proposed lines to
Wisbeach, as those lines will proceed towards London, through
Huntingdon, St. Ives, and Ely ; while this line is intended to
afford the means ofdirect communication with all the manufacturing
and midland districts.
In addition to the various and undeniably great advantages upon
'his line which render a profitable amount of traffic certain, the
eleilities afforded by nature for its construction are greater than
Muse upon any other English line.
The cheapness of the construction of lines in Belgium, and the
sleety upon them, arising from the level character of the country,
are pnlverbial. The districts through which the line will pass
possess all the advantages of a Belgian course, together with the
edditiona: facility afforded by the established dead level of tho Nene
navigation.
,t atatinguished engineer, has resulted in a report that
bp, A survey, construction will be small beyond all precedent,
the expensciot•ltg
unusaagy short space of time the various towns
and that Indio
and distrlittrwhich it affect may be in possession of the commer-
cial, social, local, and g& oral benefits which it is so calculated to
eonfer.
Public meetings will promptly' bd ;;std in all the towns along the
line, at which a deputation from :he promoters will attend to give
whatever information may be require,l.
