The object of this railway is to connect, in the most direct course,
the important and increasing manufacturing town of Leeds with the
metropolis, the want of which has long been felt, and is too univer-
sally acknowledged to need any comment, and it is under this con-
viction that this important undertaking, a. ter several minute exa-
minations of the country through which it will pass, has been brought
forward.

The proposed line will commence at the jnnction of the Manchester
and Leeds, and York and North Midland Railways, near Wakefield,
and will terminate by means of a junction with the Eastern Coun-
ties .Railway, at Bedford (to which place it is the intention of that
Company to extend their line in the ensuing session of Parliament),
and by thus availing itself as far as possible of the existing railways,
will complete the most direct and least expensive trunk line, from
London to Leeds, York, and Hull. It will pass in its route within an
available distance of Wakefield, Pontefract, Doncaster, Rotherham,
East Redford, Nottingham, Newark, Grantham, Melton Mowbray,
Oakham, and Stamford.
The importance of such a line is obvious, both from the nature of
its cow se (embracing, as it does, a most extensive population within
its limits), as also from the absence of any direct communication
for the conveyance of passengers and merchandise.
By the construction of this railway, railway communication to
London will be given to Peterborough and Leicester (by means of

the Syston and Peterborough Railway), to Newark and Nottingham,
(by the Nottingham and Lincoln line(, and to Sheffield and Gains-
borough, )by the Sheffield and Gainsborough line), by a much shorter
route than by any existing railways.
Independently of the advantages offered to the towns in the seve-
ral counties through which this line will pass, the line in itself, con-
sidered as a direct trunk line between London and Leeds, is sufficient
to justify its formation, it being well known that the existing traffic
between these two places would produce such a rctura on the capital
required, as to admit of a dividend equal to that of any railway in
operation; but when it is borne in mind that a company is being
formed for the purpose of connecting Glasgow and Leeds by
means of a junction with the York and Carlisle Railway, no better
line can be presented to the public, as it will not only effect a direct
communication from Glasgow and the western parts of ,_-cotland to
London, but would also connect Edinburgh aA the eastern parts of
Scotland, as well as Durham and Newcastle (by the York and North
Midland, and Great No:th of England Railway s) with the metropo-
lis, which would be considerably shorter thaa the accommodation
offered by any other company ; and when cost of construction is con-
sidered, there cannot be a doubt but that preference would be given
to the Great Leeds and London Direct Railway.
The fact of the Eastern Counties Railway being connected by a
branch line with the East and West India Docks on the river
Thames, and the Railway Company having recently leased for 999
years the extensive pepper warehouses belonging to those docks,
which are capable of receiving 12,000 tons of goods, together with
wharfs adjoining, where the shipment and trans-shipment of goods
from all parts of the world can take place, is a most important fea-
ture in favour of the direct communication from the manufacturing
towns of Glasgow and Leeds offered by the Great Leeds and London
Direct Railway and, by branch railways to the main trunk line,
through which•all goods from the manufacturing districts could be
conveyed at once to these warehouses for shipment, thereby avoiding
the present delay and expense of cartage, and in reality establishing
an almost direct and invaluable connexion between the•rivers Clyde
and Thames.
It has been ascertained that there are no engineering difficulties,
that the w 'its will be easy, and the gradients remarkably good, and
that it will not materially interfere with any ornamental property.
The subscribers will be held liable only to the extent of their first
deposits, until an Act of Parlament is obtained, and afterwards only
to the amount of their subscriptions.
It is proposed to take power in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per
cent. per annum on all calls until the opening of the line, and also
to extend the line to Itertri,rd on the Eastern Counties line, in the
event of that Company not prosecuting their line to Bedford.

The importance of connecting remote parts of England by rail-
ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns
and districts, can scarcely be better exemplified than by the line
which is Low proposed to form a short and direct channel of inter-
course between Oxford and Salisbury. Numerous projected lines
now before the public will make Oxford at the north, and Salisbury
at the south of the intended railroad, the central points from Which
various radii will diverge to the north-west, north, and north-east of
the former, and to the south and west of the latter • and the

At a numerous and most highly respectable and influential meeting
of the hankers, merchants, tradesmen, and other inhabitants of the
borough of King's Lynn, Norfolk, held in the Guild-hall, on Monday,
October 6, 1845.

The Worshipful the MAYOR in the Chair,

A deputation from •• the Lynn, Wished), and Peterborough,
Midland Counties and Birmingham Junction Railway Company,"
together with the solicitor and engineer, having attended this meet-
hig and explained the intended objects of the Company, it was re-
solved, without a di. - entient voice,

" That the proposed Lynn, Wisbech, and Peterborough Railway, is
entirely uncalled for by the wants of the district, and therefore
utterly undeserving the support of the town of Lynn."
The Mayor having left the chair, it was unanimously resolved,
" That the thanks of the meeting be given to the Mayor for his
able and impartial conduct in the chair."

Tito Oxford and Salisbury Direct Railway, in addition to
the benefits which will be conferred upon the nation at
large, by preferring a direct line of communication be-
tween the north-eastern and western and south-western
parts of England, will afford to the borough of Abingdon,
the market towns of Wantage, Hungerford, and Ludgershall, and
the adjacent villages, an important railway accommodation, of which
the agricultural districts in which they are seated stand in much
need, and will provide a facility for the interchange of produce be-
tween the rural, manufacturing, and commercial population of the
whole, whilst the kingdom. The projected line will bring the Cathedral City of Salis-
bury into immediate connexion with the City and University of
Oxford, combining also the advantage of a direct communication

PROVISIONAL DIRECTORS.

This line is projected by the Norfolk Railway Company and the
Grand Union Railway Company, and It will form a connecting link
between those two lines.

' Leaving the station of the Norfolk Company at Brandon, the line
proceeds via Downham Market to Wisbech, and from thence to Spald-
ing, being a distance •f about 40 miles. At the latter town it joins
the Grand Union Railway, which continues via Grantham to Not-
tingham, thus completing a direct and independent line of communi-
cation between Yarmouth and Norwich, and Nottingham and the
manufacturing districts.

The distance between the termini will be as short by the proposed
route as by the Lynn and Ely and Lynn and Dereham lines; whilst
the traffic between Nottingham. Yarmouth, and Norwich, and the
central, west, and south parts of Norfolk, the north of Cambridge-
shire, and the counties of Suffolk and Essex, being under the control
of friendly Companies, will be secured for this undertaking.
Estimates for the traffic are in course of preparation. In the mean-
time it may ba stated that, from the data already furnished respecting
some of the important loca•ities through which the line passes, added
to the fact that it forms part of a direct course of railway communi-
cation between Manchester and the surrounding manufacturing dis-
tricts, and the ports of Yarmouth and Lynn, there is no doubt an
ample remuneration will be secured for the shareholders.
Satisfactory arrangements have been made with the Eastern
Counties Railway Company in reference to that portion of the line
between Wisbech and Spalding, which has been agreed to be leased
by them from the Wisbech and St. Ives Company.
If the Wisbech and St. Ives Company succeed in their application
to Parliament, the line to be made by this Company will be limited
to that part between Wisbech and Brandon ; and in either case the
two Companies promoting this line have agreed to take a lease of it at
a rental equal to 4 per cent. on the outlay, and a moiety of the sur-
plus profits.
In the allotment of Shares preference will be given to the share-
holders of the Norfolk and Grand Union Railway Companies.
