SECRETARY—George Farrer, Esq.

The object of this line of railway is to connect, by a direct route,
the important town and seaport of Bostoa with tha centre of Eng-
land, by way of Grantham and Melton Mowbray, where It will join
the Syston and Peterborough branch of the Midland Counties Railway.
It is unnecessary to enlarge upon the advantages which will arise
from this railway, which passes through one of the richest and
most fertile parts of England. The population is dense, and a
glance at the map will show that this line is well laid ont, not
only for the direct traffic from Leicester and the Intermediate
places to Boston, but also for the general traffic which will no
brought to this line by the several railways which will be connected
with it.

By this railway, which will be about forty-four miles in length,
and laid through a country nearly level, it is intended jo pass by or
near Swinlshead, Donington, Folkingham, Grantham, Stoke, Roch-
ford, and Mellon Mowbray. It is evident that this line will be o
great convenience and utility, by affording to a part of the country
at present deprived of it the advantage of railway commnnication
with the counties of Rutlandshire, Leicestershire, Northampton-
shire, Warwickshire, 844., and thus connecting the agricultural
districts of Lincolnshire with the manufacturing parts of England,
affording to the latter an easy and accessible means of export for
their manufactures.

In the allotment of shares, holders in the Midland Counties Rail-
way will receive a preference, and reservation will be made for the
landed interests along the line, whose concurrence and assistance is
fully relied on by the promoters, by whom most of the influential
landholders have been canvassed ; and, in order to prevent unnes-
sary trouble, no other applications will be received except those
