The first object of this line is to connect the town of Birmingham
Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route
and to supply an important link of communication between the town
of Spalding and the eastern coast, and the western and midland
districts.

Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereham,
Lynti, and Holbeach Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn,
Witham, Castle By than, South Wytham, and Wymondham, to a
point on the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near Melton-
Mowbray, •thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mid-
land Counties Railway, an almost direct route to Leicester, and
thence to Coventry and Birmingham by the proposed Coventry,
Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway.
The projected line will form the most direct communication be-
tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, and will, by
means of the proposed lines across the county of Leicester, via Bur-
ton-upen-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincoln, Norfolk,
Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by , many miles
than any other line of railway.
It will form, with other projected railways, an almost direct line
itcrosS the kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, on the east, to
A.berystwith, via Newton and Shrewsbur3-, on the west.
The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. There is notunnel-
ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary; the line
from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve miles, is very
level, and may be constructed at a small cost.
It will secure the advantages of railway communication to a tract
of country at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open-
ing out sources of trade undeveloped for want of the means of transit.
The central midland districts have felt greatly the want of direct
communication with the coast; and this line will at once supply the
deficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire.
It will afford a traiwit for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei-
cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon
supply from the north at high prices: it will also secure the advan-
tages of an unlimited supply -of lime from the Leicestershire works,
to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, which are at present only
supplied at very high rates; and, in return traffic, the midland dis-
tricts will obtain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and
agricultural prod:ice of Lincolnshire and Norfolk.
Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which is
the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, and
connected by the River Welland with the German Ocean.
. The proposed capital will be sufficient for the construction of the
necessary works and every subsequent expense ; and the ineome
derivable from the traffic in passengers between Birmingham, Co-
ventry, Leicester, DerWr, Melton, Spalding, and Boston, the trans-
port of corn, cattle, and other praduce of the great agricultural
districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming
districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland
districts, will be sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay.
The Parliamentary surveys have been commenced, and are now
in active progress, and contracts have been entered hits which en-
' sure sufficient time for compliance with the standing orders.
Forms of application for shares, plans, and prospectuses may be
had of the Solicitors ; also at the offices of the Company, 4, Tra-
- falgansquare, Charing-cross,. where applications for shares, accom-
panied by respectable references, may be addressed to the Provl-
