This line is intended to commence at Louth, and to proceed, by way
of Market Rosen, to the town and port of Gainsborough. in the
county of Lincoln; and is projected for the purpose of completing a
direct communication with the towns of Rotherham, Sheffield, Man-
chester, and Liverpool, and thus affording to the rich grazing and
agricultural divisions of the county a ready access to those towns,
which have always been the natural markets for the produce of the
district ; and at the same time to provide a certain and speedy
transit for manufactured g.ods and other articles of merchandise.
The communication by railway between these important towns has
not, by existing arrangements, been provided for, except by very
circuitous routes ; indeed, that part of the line from Market Rasen to
Gainsborough has been entirely overlooked; and therefore the pre-
sent one has been-proposed to meet the wants of the district on tho
strong representations and request of a large and respectable body
of gentry deeply interested in the success of the scheme.
It is useless to dwell in the present day upon the advantages of
railway communication, as those towns which do sot avail them-
selves of the facilities afforded must eventually sink in importance.
To Louth anti the surrounding neighbourhood especially the pro-
posed line cannot fall to be of paramount Importance, as opening, in-
dependently of passengers' traffic, a dlrectmeans of transit for cattle,
corn, goods, &c., &c., to and from all the great Yorkshire, Lancashire,
anti other important markets.

An examination of the map will at once show this, and also the
connexion of the proposed line with ether important railways both
in Lincolnshire, the adjacent counties, and all parts of the kingdom.
To thoso acquainted with the town of Louth and its neighbour-
hood, it is unnecessary to point out the immense excoriation of
cattle, con), wool, &e., to the Yorkshire markets, or the largo im-
portatien of Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield, and other goods into
the district, and the facilities the proposed line will afford for a
plentiful supply of coals at a much cheaper rate than they can be
procured by any other route. The Committee confidently relying,
therefore, upon the testimony of the highly-r2spectable parties en-
gaged in commerce and agriculture who honour the present Com-
pany with support, have pleasure in announciag that the traffic re-
turns will he of a highly satisfactory character.
• It is no slight advantage in this scheme, that It cannot be said to
interfere with existing railways. The main feature is the improve-
ment of communication between important towns by the old na-
tural roads, and thus affording facilities to the agricultural and com-
mercial interests, and to the public generally, in and through a dis-
trict where a railway is essentially necessary for its ultimate and
lasting prosperity.
A careful survey of the line has been made, and the engineer's

of the ground, It does not cross any main road, nor any ornamental
property, or interfere with the mansions of the landowners; the
soil Is of a favourable character throughout, and no engineering dif-
ficulties occur at any point."
No snbscriber will be answerable beyond the anaonnt of his deposit
until the Act is obtained, and then net beyond the amount of his sub-
scription ; and power will be applied for in the Act of Parliament to
allow interest at the rate of 4/.per cent. per annum on all calls until
the opening of the line. In the allotment of shares, preference will be
given to landowners and parties locally interested ; but no ar"„lica-
tion can be attended to unless accompanied with a sae!,•caetory re-
ference.
