PROSPECTUS.
e por-
The objects Intended to be aeCemplished bymthiodsautrodnertteakithngimare.....
Firstly —The supply of local railway accom
tent districts embraced by the line.
Secondly—The benefit of railway thecommunleationwilethneha

poke to a district of country upwards of fifty miles in
sent unprovided with that accommodation.
Thirdly—The completion of' the chain of railway communicatlos
w beteen .he river Severn and the southern and western counties, and
the north-eastern district of the kingdom and the river Member anti
its pores, including that of Hull.
Commencing at the town efNorthampton, in conjunction with the
London and Birmingham, and the lines of railway proposed to con-
verge at that town from Cheltenham, and the west from Worcester
and from Warwick, the line will proceed In a direct coarse to the
market town of Kettering, by which place all the companies compet-
ing for the line of railway between London and Manchester propose
ee pass. It will then proceed also in a direct course to the market
towns of Uppingham, Oakham, and Grantham, en to Lincoln.
The country lying between the towns ef Northampton and Grant-
ham is wholly without existing or even proposed railway accommo-
dation, not only to the south but also to the north.-
At Lincoln the line will fork, and proceed, on the one hand, in a
northerly direction to the flourishing port .f Gainsborongh, and, on
the other, by a north-eastern course to the market town of Market
Raisen, on to the rising port of Great Grimsby.
By a union with the Sheffield and Great Grinuely Junction Rail-
way at Market Baleen, a direct and uninterrupted chain of commun.
cation will be established between all the above-mentioned districts
eind the town and port of
The sources of traffic which this line will secure are varioea and
very considerable ; some of them only can be here enumerated, viz.:—
,Starting from Great Grimsby, the line will appropriate to itself the
whole of the traffic from thence to the metropolis, and also the
southern and western districts of the kingdom, and, in addition, It
will secure the important and inereasing local traffic, between that
town and Market Raisen and Lincoln.
From Gninaborough, the termini of several railways from the
*firth and nod's-west, this line will carry the trail, to Lincoln, its
county town. •
The traffie front Hull to the metropolis, and also to the west, will
enter upon this line at Market Raisen and proceed thereon to Lincoln.
From Lincoln the whole ;of the train* passing to the west and the
interneeelate towns must pass over this line.
In the event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not
obtaining their 11111, then the traffic from Lincoln to the south and
west, and also the metropolis, will pass along this line of railway ; the
former the whole distance, and the latter in any event to Grantham,
% distance of about twenty-five miles ; and should the London and
York Company not sucteeil, such trails will proceed on to Kettering
or Northampton.
The entire district between Grantham and Kettering, a distance
of more than forty miles, and including the market towns of
Oakingharn and Uppingham, is without a railway or water-carriage
accommodation, and the whole of its traffic therefore will travel over
this line of railway, which will be in the direct course not only to
the west but also to London.
At Kettering this lino will unite with that one of the now c
pKing schemes passing that town front Manchester and Leicesterorn" London, which shall be successful before Parliament. to
The country is free from engineering difficulties, with oas or two
exceptions only, and those are more than counterbalanced by the
very favourable gradients of by far the
