England, and the whole of Scotland, and as the line now proposed
is of so direct a character " northward " from Gloucester, the
traffic derivable from other lines must be immense, in addition to
the large local traffic, which, after due inquiry, the promoters find
will alone be amply sufficient to produce a very remunerative
return on the outlay required.
It should he observed, that the intention of forming a direct
trunk line has from the first never been lost sight of, so that
although a deviation in favour of several towns in the neighbour-
hood through which the line will pass, or the formation of branche
to others, might have been productive of considerable advantage in
soma respects, the promoters determined on perseveririg in their
original intention, and have to congratulate themselves on so
doing, as they have avoided an unpleasant collision with exist-
ing projects.
The country having been carefully examined by Mr. Galloway
(the Company's engineer), has been found peculiarly favourable for
railway operations ; indeed, for a considerable portion of the
whole distance, no cuttings whatever will be required, and this,
connected with the fact that those of the landed proprietary
whose support so far has been sought have expressed them-
selves very favourable to the project, lead to the inference, that
seldom has so important an undertaking been commenced with
greater prospect of complete success.
The subscribers will only be held liable for the amount of the
shares subscribed for by them, and power will be sought for in
the Act to authorise the allowance of an interest of 4 per cent.
per annnm on all calls from the time of payment to that of open-
ing thb line.
In the allotment of shares the promoters wish it to be under-
stood that all applications from parties locally interested will re-
ceive a primary consideration, and in all cases it is requested that
no application may be made to which references of respectability
are not attached.
A full prospectus, with the names of an influential Provisional
Committee, will appear in a few days ; in the interim applications
for shares may be made to, and further particulars known from,

The establishment of the above railway will effect two great
and important objects :—first, the supply of the metropolis and its
vicinity with coal fully twenty per cent. cheaper than by the pre-
sent mode et transit : secondly, by the exclusion of passenger
traffic, to diminish the risk of accidents, which objects can only be
attained by constructing a railway for the express purpose of carry-
ing coals and merchandise exclusively.
The expenses of the London and Birmingham Railway for 1844
(set forth in the prospectus of this Company), prove that coal
may be brought the entire distance from the Northern Col-
lieries to London at one-half the cost of coal conveyed by ship, and
yet leave a profit of ten per cent. upon a capital of 5,000,0001.
In addition to the through traffic, accommodation will be afforded
to the intermediate districts for the conveyance of coals and goods,
which will materially increase the revenue of the Company.
It is proposed to raise the required capital in 200,000 shares of
251. each ; deposit 25. 12s. 6d. per share, the subsequent calls to be
made in the usual way.
The customary clauses will be inserted in the Act, limiting the
liability of the shareholders to the amount of their respective
shares.
Interest, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum will be allowed
on all calls between the passing of the Act and the opening of tha
railway,
The Committee of Management have the satisfaction to state,
that owing to the measures that have been taken, the surveys, &c.,
are in a very forward state, and that the necessary documents will
be deposited in accordance with the standing orders of Parliament,
and application made for the Bill iu the approaching session.
Prospectuses, with fuller information and in detail, together
with Forms of Application, may be obtained on applying to the

The Committee, with the view of enabling responsible
parties (desirous to participate in the allotment) to secure
at least some shares in this great undertaking, will permit the pay-
ment of a preliminary deposit of I Os. 6d. per share previous to ap-
plication being made ; and will guarantee that the parties so paying
shall have shares allotted them, to at least the number upon which
the sum paid by them as a preliminary deposit shall cover the full
deposit of V. 128. 6d. They, however, reserve to themselves the
right of limiting this privilege to the extent of 100 shares, if a
larger number should be applied for, or even of refusing it, in cases
where they may find on inquiry that the applicant is not in their
judgment eligible to be a shareholder; in such cases the deposit
will be immediately returned ; nor will this privilege be extended
beyond the deposition of 100,000 shares, after which the bankers
of the Company will receive instructions to refuse further prelimi •
nary deposits.
The preliminary deposits must be paid to the bankers of the
Company, who will furnish a receipt for the same. The Com-
mittee caution the public not to negotiate such receipts, as their
undertaking to supply the shares holds good only so far as the
applicants, upon their references being examined into, prove re-
spectable and responsible. They particularly request that each
applicant for shares who avails himself of this privilege will state,
in his application, the amount of the deposit he has paid, and the
number of the bankers' receipt.

PROSPECTUS.
This line is designed to open a direct communication between the
towns of Birmingham and Boston.
The advantages to be derived by a rich, progressing, and populous
town, such as Birmingham, the great manufacturing centre c 1
the kingdom, having a direct communication with a port on the
eastern coast facing the Continent, and that port the nearest to it by
geographical position, need but be mentioned to be appreciated.
The name of Birminlham speaks for itself ; the capacity and value
of Boston, as a commercial port, is daily increasing, and requires but
little enterprise to enable it to compete with some of our best ports.
It is proposed that this line should commence at Leicester, where it
will form a continuation of the line from Birmingham to that town.
and proceeding by, or near Melton Mowbray, Corby, Folkingham, an.
Donnington, terminate at Boston, thus affording a direct coramuni
cation between Birmingham and its important manufacturing dis-
tricts, Rugby, the great railway centre of England, and Boston, their
nearest seaport, which eventually must command the traffic of the
districts with which it is in connexion, and the opposite ports of the
Continent.
A glance at the map will show how this line is fed, and the towns
in its neighbourhood supplied with railway accommodation by the
interseeting lines ; but in the event of the London and York line not
obtaining its Act, it is proposed by this Company to construct a
branch to Grantham.
The country is easy, presenting few or no engineering difficulties.
Another advantage held out by this project is the improvement
of the harbour of Boston, whereby it will be restored to that eminent
position it formerly held among the ports and harbours of the
kingdom.
The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest ftt
four per cent. per annum, after passing the Act, on the amount of
the subscription paid up. No subscriber shall be answerable for
more than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and
then not beyond the amount of his subscription.
A more detailed prospectus will be issued in a few days, containitw
the names of many influential gentlemen locally interested in the
proposed line.

upon the value of this undertaking. Security to our shipping of every
description, the prevention of shipwreck, the promotion of the
fisheries, an exhaustless supply of the finest water for the navy, an
easy and uninterrupted passage to the Continent, and a ready com-
munication with all parts, eastward and westward, and especially
by means of either existing or projected railways with Chatham and
London, are the obvious advantages, and there can be no doubt but
t will receive from the Government that support which it deserves.
Instead of being, as at present, a perilous point, this part of the
coast will be a sure refuge in the most threatening circumstances.
The line from Rye to Paddock-wood, passing through a populous
district, will open and maintain a traffic of undoubted importance, a
large transit trade will necessarily arise from the weather-bound
vessels off the Ness Point, five or six hundred of them being fre-
quently detained there for several weeks, many of them anxious to
discharge their cargoes. An ample return to the shareholders cannot
fail being made, while they will have the satisfactory reflection of
knowing that they have largely contributed to the wealth, resources,
and security of the country.
The liability of the shareholders will be restricted to the amount
of their subscriptions, and rower will be 'applied for in the Bill to
allow interest at four per cent. per annum on all calls, from the pass-
ing of the Act until the opening of the line.
Applications for prospectuses, and also for shares, in the undermen-
tioned form, may be made to George Smith, Esq., Solicitor to the
Company, :co. 24, Golden-square, and ofthe following Sharebrokers :

Although the advantage of the South Wales Railway as a means of
connectingthe towns of Cardiff, Neath,'Swantea, and Llanelly, with the
metropolis, must be admitted, it is obvious that an object of great
national importance, viz., a direct communication with the naval
Arsenal at Pembroke, and With the sonih of Ireland, has been neu-
tralised by the refusal of the Board of Admiralty to suffer the con-
struction of a fixed bridge below Gloucester, over the Severn.
In order to connect Birmingham and the great manufacturing dis-
tricts With the various ports on the Welsh coast, the Wt lsh Midland
Railway was projected ; the contemplated route being from Bir-
mingham by Leominster, and Hay to Brecon, from whence, follow-
ing the course of the high road from London to Milford Haven, it is
proposed to join the South Wales Railway at Carmarthen, and to
connect their proposed Railway with the Port of Newport, the Welsh
Midland Company have purchased the Brecon Canal, extending
from Brecon by Abergavenny to Pontypool.
The proposed line will commence at Abergavenny,
from by a junction
with the Welsh Midland Railway, and will proceed thence to
Noss and Gloucester, completing, by the easiest and shortest route,
the direct chain of communication between London and Milford
Haven.
Gloucester and Carmarthen are due west of each other—Cardiff is
twenty-seven miles south of both. By the construction of this line
a saving in distance will be effected of thirty miles over the route by
Cardiff.
The great importance of this will be estimated when it is con-
sidered that Pembroke is one of the largest naval arsenals in the
kingdom, and that from Milfoid Haven the mails are forwarded to
Waterford, Wexford, Cork, Limerick, and the whole of the south of
Ireland.
It is scarcely necessary to give a detailed estimate of the probable
revenue that will arise from this railway ; it will receive all the
Fisbguard, Haverford-
traffic passing between the south of Ireland,
west, Pembroke, Narberth, Carmarthen, Llandilo, Llandovery,
Brecon, Merthyr Tydvil, Abergavenny, Monmouth, Ross, and Lon-
don ; the local traffic is very considerable ; and from the carriage of
iron and coal a large revenue will be derived.
A survey of the line has been made : the favourable nature of the
country generally offers great facilides for the undertaking.
The breadth of gauge will be open to the decision of the Commis-
sion now sitting; it is reasonable to conclude they will recommend
it to be uniform on the railways to be constructed in the South
Wales district.
In the allotment of shares a preference will be given to parties
locally interested, and proprietors of shares in the Welsh Midland
Railway.
Prospectuses may be had, and arplication for shares may be ad-
dressed to the solicitors and local agents, or to the following share-

The port of Boston affords the readiest outlet for exports from the
manufacturing districts to the north of Europe, and the importance
of direct communication from the midland counties to a place so ad-
vantageously situate cannot be over-estimated.
Leicester has, or shortly will have, direct communication with
Birmingham, and all the other important towns in the midiguid
district.
The Midland Railway Company is extending the communication
to Melton Mowbray, by means of its branch from Syston to Peter-
borough, which passes through that place. There is also a complete
line of railway about to be established from Nottingham, through
Grantham and FOliinhAlD) to N41t9.0, as well as to 1314441 WIII!

beach, Lynn, Yarmouth, and other important towns in the eastern
coentles.
The Leicester, Melton Mowbray, and Boston Direct Union Rail-
way, by forming a fine from Melton Mowbray to Folkingham, will
supply the only link wanting to complete a direct through communi-
cation from Birmingham, Warwick, Worces'er, Coventry, and the
manufacturing districts generally, to Boston, as well as by means of
existing and projected railways from Wales and the Bristol Li. amid
to that seaport.
The length of the proposed line will not exceed twenor ty-six m
neer-
iles ;
and as it will pass through a country very favourable f engi
ing purposes, the expense of construction will, it is expected, be less
than the usual average. The admirable position of this railway can-
not fail, it is confidently expected, to command a large return, both
in passengers and in goods traffic.
The Company will be in a situation to deposit the Parliamentary
plans and sections in ample time for complhyeir Acting with
in ththee sensuing
tanding

session.

The shareholders of the South Midland Radway Company are in
formed that arrangements have been made by the Committee 01
ii anagement with the Board of Directors of the Midland Railway
Company for carrying out the original South Midland line with the
important additions of a line to Bedford and a branch to Huntingdon,
the whole being consolidated in one undertaking, and placed under
the management of a joint Board of Direction composed of members
of the Boards of the two Companies.
The objects!, therefore, embraced by the present undertaking are-
1. A direct line from Leicester by way of Market Harberough to
Northampton, being he original South Midland
2. A line diverging therefrom at Market Harborough, 'and passing
by way of Kettering to Bedford ; and
3. A branch from the last-mentioned line, at or near Kettering, to
Huntingdon.
The capital at present belonging to the South Midland Company
will form a portion of the consolidated capital (the remainder being
contributed by the Midland Railway company), and in order to coin-
ply with the Standing Orders of the House of Lords, as recently
altered, it is necessary that the deposit of it. 2s. already paid on the
South Midland shares should be increased to 2/. 2s. It is also neces-
sary that the scrip should be called in and re-issued, and new Parlia-
mentary deeds executed.
The shareholders in the South Midland Company are therefore re-
quired to pay, on or before the 25th day of October next, the further
sum of U. per share on the shares respectively held by them, and for
1 this purpose to deposit with the Secretary, at the Company's offices,
Leicester, the scrip now held by them, together with an application
for registry and exchange in the annexed form, on or before the leth
day of October next.
Tlic requisite order to one of the Company's bankers to receive the
increased deposit will be issued within three days after the registry
of the scrip, and nit the production of the bankers' receipt and the
execution of the new Parliamentary contract, the new scrip cer-
Ifteates will be issued.
All scrip in respect of which the share, Me shall fail to take the
ne essary steps for payment of the r. nit' deposit within the
specified period will be forfeited.
Fors nf application for registry and 7sh ige of scrip may be ob-
tained by applying to the Secretary, at be ,mpany's offices.
