The first object of this line is to couneef thetowi et Birmingham
Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern c•aet by the nearest mute
and to supply au important link of communication between the tow=
of Spalding and the eastern coast, and the wester* ail midland
districts.

Commencing at the Spalding statioa of tke Norwich, Derokara,
Lynn, and Holbeach Railways, the lino will prooeed by Bourn.
Witham, Castle Bythana, South Wytham, and Wyntondhant, to a
point oa the System aid Peterborough lime of railway near Melton-
Mowbray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mid-
land Counties Railway, am almost direct route to Leicester, and
thence to Coventry and Rinnimghana by the proposed Coventry,
Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway.
. .

The projected line will ferns the most direct mirinsunicatieu 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-
toa-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Line,la, Norfolk,
Shrepshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by many miles
than any other line of railway.
It will firm, with ether projected railways, as almost direct line
morose the kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, on the east, to
Aberystwith, via Newton and Shrewsbnry, en the west.
The entire length will lot exceed thirty miles. There la so tuinel-
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 test.
It will secure the advantages of railway ocurannieattess to a tract
of (lottery at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open-
ing cut 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 mace supply the
deficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire.
It will afford a tran.it for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei-
eestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely' dependent upois
supply from the north at high prices: it will also secure tke 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 tke stock and
agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and. Norfolk.
Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, whisk is
the nearest point en the eastern coast for the midland counties, and
eonneeted 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 Income
derivable from the traffic in passengers between Birmingham, Co-
ventry, Leicester, Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Boston, the trans-
port of corn, cattle, and other produce 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 into 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-
falgar-square, Charing•cross, where applications fbr shares, accom-
panied by respectable references, may be addressed to the Provi-
sional Committee.
