SicakrAsT—George Farrer, Esq.
The object of this line of railway is to connect, by a direct route,
the important town and seaport of Boston 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.
It is unnecessary to enlarge upon the advantages which will arise
from this railway, which passes through one of the richest and
most fertile parts of England. The population is dense, and a
glance at the snap will show that this line is well laid ont, net
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.
By this railway, which will be about forty-four miles in length,
and laid through a country nearly level, it is intended to pass by or
near Swinlshead, Donington, Folkingham, Grantham, Stoke, Roch-
ford, and Melton Mowbray. It is evident that this line will be o
great convenience and utility, by affording to a part of the country
at present deprived of it the advantage of railway communication
with the counties of Rutlandshire, Leicestershire, Northampton-
shire, Warwickshire, &c., and thus connecting the agricultural
districts of Lincolnshire with the manufacturing parts of England,
affording to the latter an easy and accessible means of export for
their manufactures.
In the allotment of shares, holders in the Midland Counties Rail-
way will receive a preference, and reservation will be made for the
landed interests along the line, whose concurrence and assistance is
fully relied on by the promoters, by whom most of the influential
landholders have been canvassed ; and, in order to prevent unnes-
sary trouble, no other applications will be received except those
wherein reference is made to a member of the Provisional Commit-
tee, to the Solicitors or Bankers, or the following Sharebrokers,

, This Company is formed for making a railway from Liverpool to
Derby, and will, in conjunction with the Manchester and Rugby
Direct, and London and Birmingham Railways, form the nearest
route from Liverpool to London. It will commence at Liverpool, and
proceed along the Liverphol and Manchester Railway to within a
short distance of the Whiston Inclined Plane, and thence branch off,
in a south-easterly ; direction, through Warrington, Knutsford, and
,Congletolt to Leek (there joining the Manchester and Rugby Rail-
way), and from thence through Ashbourne to Derby. The whole
length of the proposed line will be about sixly-six miles. It will be
}seen by reference to the map that this important line of railway will
;form the shOrtest route from7Liverpool to London, and effect a direct
chain of communication between Liverpool and Derby, and will
'thence, by means of the Midlands and other railways, open au unin-
terrupted route to the more eastern counties, and afford a complete
midland communication between the eastern and western parts of
the kingdom and the importtwant intennediate manufacturing districts.
The most important feature in this railway is that it forms the

tion with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) is 47% miles;
from Leek to Rugby, according to the line as proposed by the Man-
chester and Rugby Direct Railway, 58 miles, and from Rugby to
London 83 miles ; thus making the whole distance from Liverpool to
London 188% miles, instead of 210, by the present route.
With regard to the traffic and other details connected with the
working of the line, it seems only necessary to revert to the great
importance of the towns proposed to be brought into communication
with each other, in order to convince the minds of all that the source
of revenue thus derived will be immense.
There are no eughleerthg difficulties connected with the forming of
the line.

interest on all calls. . :,,. , . .

PROSPECTUS.

This railway will commence by a junction with the lines of the
Eastern Counties, the Lynn and Ely,. and the Ely and Huntingdon,
Railways, at the city of Ely, and proceed thence, via Mlldenhall, to
Bury St. Edmunds, forming there a junction with the railway from
that town to Ipswich, now in course of construction.
The town of Bury St. Edmunds and the adjacent districts, and all
the country through which the line will pass, have for generations
drawn their supply of coals, timber, deals, wine, oil-cake, tar, flag-
stones, and other general merchandise, from the port of Lynn, and
have transmitted thither their own corn, flour, wool, fruit, and
other agricultural produce, for shipment to the northern markets.

While the, proposed thiamin affect the local object of preserving
the mercantile connexion that has so long subsisted between the
county of Suffolk and the port of Lynn, it will effect the national
one of affording to the ports of Ipiwick and Harwich, and the im-
portant towns of Oolchester and Bury St. Edmunds, a direct com-
munication with Lancashire, Yorkshire, ae•sl the north, and, by
means of the Ely and Huntingdon, and the proposed Rugby and
Huntingdon Railways, with. Birmingham and the west. From
these sources a most ample
.return on the capital required for the
undertaking may be confidently relied on.
The line is singularly easy of construction, the estimated cost. in-
cluding every contingency, being little above 8,0001. per mile ; it
will not interfere with ornamental grounds of any kind, and it is not
anticipated that any opposition will be offered by the landowners.
The Provisional Directors are to be at liberty to take all such
measures as they may deem requisite for obtaining the necessary
powers to construct the line or any part thereof, wills such branches,
extensions, or alterations, as they shall be advised to adopt ; and for
such powers, or any of them, they are to have power to increase the
amount of the capital, to lease or sell the line to, or amalgamate the
same with, the Lynn and Ely, Ely and Huntingdon, and Lynn and
Dereham Railway Companies, or any or either of them, or any other
company or companies.
It is proposed to raise the capital by issuing 10,080 shares of 201.
each, a deposit of '2/. 2s. per share (in compliance with the Standing
Orders of Parliament) to be paid on allotment.
There will be as interval of twp months between the calls, and not
more than 51. per share will be called for at one time.
A Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract, in such
form and with such clauses as the Provisional Directors may think
right, will lie ibr signature at the offices of the Solicitors, in London
and Lynn; on payment of the deposit. Arrangements will be made
for transmitting the deeds to the principal provincial towns 17
be
near which the shareholders may reside, due notice whereof

sent to every shareholder by post.
As under arrangements entered into with the Lynn and Ely, Ely
and Huntingdon, and Lynn and Derehant, Railway o
the Com
hpan olde rs
ies,
a large proportial of the capital has been appropriated t
of shares in those eornpanies,. a very limited number of shares only
is at the disposal of the Provisional Directors, and no application for
share, tit Telbre, can be attended to, except from parties locally
interested and of the highest respectability, by whom applica-
tion; may be made, in the annexed form, on or before the
ISt October, 1845, to the Secretary, at the Company 's Offices,

No *folk, or to the respective solicitors ; no application,

The proposed railway will commence at Rugby, on the London
and Birmingham Railway, the terminus of the Midland Counties
and Trent Valley Railways, and the paint to which several other
projected nelways converge, and will proceed through or near to
Leamington, Warwick, Stratford-on•• Avon, Evesham, Tewkesbury,
and Cheltenham, to Gloucester. The length of the line will b.,

about 56 miles.
The advantages that will result from the construction of this line
are numerous and highly important, and such as cannot fail to secure I
a very large amount of local. and through traffic, and a highly-re- I
munerative return upon the capital invested. By means of existing
and proposed railway s, it will form a complete chain of railway com-
munication between the whole of the midland and north-eastern
counties of England, the populous cities and towns before-named, and
the southern and western districts, and thus bring Leicester, Not-
tingham, Newark, Lincoln, Gainsborough, Great Grimsby, and Hull,
Into direct communication with the favourite and fashiOnable spas of
Leamington and Cheltenham, the richly-productive and far-famed
Vale of Evesham, and the seaports of Gloucester, Bristol, Plymouth,
and Falmouth, and those of South Wales.
The inhabitants and visitors of the mulch-frequented watering-
places of Leamington and Cheltenham, will thus obtain a direct line
between those resorts, instead of the present circuitous route through
Birmingham, affording that facility of intercommunication which
has long been ardently desired ; and it will also afforil the utmost fa-
cility of access to the innumerable visitors who, attracted as well by
the beauty of the scenery as the memory of Sitakspeare, annually
resort to Stratford-on-Avon.
To those passengers from the east and north-east, direct to Glou-
Gloucester, the line from Tewkesbury, cutting off the angle of the
Birmingham and Gloucester Railway--to-Cheltenham, will afford a
great accommodation, and a saving In distance of at least eight miles,
besides the delay of the stoppage at Cheltenham.
At Tewkesbury it will also form a junction with the proposed line
from that place to Malvern, affording the most direct communication
to the numerous visitors to the magnificent scenery and invigorating
atmosphere of the celebrated Malvern-hills.
To the inhabitants of the ancient and populous borough of Tewkes-
bury, this portion of the proposed line will prove immensely advan-
tageous ; situated within ten miles of the important city and port of
Gloucester, they have nevertheless to travel by the present railway
route nearly twice that distance, an inconvenience which has
already materially affected the trade, and prejudiced the interests of
the town. The proposed line, running close to the town, will remove
this great 'neon:enhance, and restore its trade to its former state of
prosperity.
The value of this line to the city and port of Gloucester cannot
be too nighly estimated, as it will not only open to it immen, e
sources of traffic from the whole of the eastern and north-eastern
counties, but will very materially lessen the distance between it
and Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and South Staff, .rdshire, making
Gloucester still more securely the nearest and most accessible outlet
for the whole of that immensely productive manufacturing region ,
and it is impossible to conceive any project better calculated to
advance the interests of Gloucester, than one capable of effecting
that object.
This line will also fonts an important junction between the London
and Birmingham ;and Midlands Railways, and the Bristol and
Gloucester Railway, and constitute the highway for the traffic of the
former, and of all the north-eastern railways, to the proposed Man-
chester and Southampton Railway at Cheltenham ; and the through
traffic from the latter source alone is expected to be very great.,
It will thus have the effect of connecting the ports of the eastern
and north-eastern with those of the western and southern coasts ;

of affording the most direct and convenient access from the north
and east to the vast mineral regions of South Wales, and of opening
new markets for the rich products of the fertile valleys of the Avon
and Severs, and the alp icultural districts of Warwickshire and Wor•
cestershire, In the manufacturing towns and ports of the north. .
The line will be easy of construction, traversing, as ikdoes, through
nearly its whole length, tile valleys of the Avon and Severn. The
towns through which it will run are very populous, and the country
of the richest description ; and the local traffic consequently be

LOCAL AGENT-4011a Solicitor., 'Leominster.

This line will diverge from the line of the Great Eastern and
Western Railway, bear Wercestcr, and proceeding by Brom-
yard, will end at Leominster, at which point it will unite with the
proposed lines 'connecting Hereford anti Shrewsbury with North
Wales.

The communication by ralw,y between these important towns
and the continuous hop and cider districts has been entirely left
unprovided for by existing arrangements. and this line is brought
forward under the auspices of the Great Eaetera and Western
Itailway Company, on the strong representations and request of a
large and most influential body of the landed gentry of the neigh-
bourhood.

The object proposed is to make a direct communication between
Leominster, Bromyard,aud IVercester, which latter town has always
been the natural market tin' the produce of these districts, and to af-
ford the inhabitants the most direct communication with London, as
compared with other lines, by upwards of3o

person will be liable for more than his deposit till the act is ob-
tained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at 41. per cent.
on all calls from the time of their respective payments, as well as to
limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscrip.
tions. _ _
