The first object of this line is te connect the town of Birmingham,
Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route,
and to supply as important link ef communication between the town
of Spalding aid the eastern coast, and the western aid midland
districts.
Commencing at the Simian station of the Norwich, Derebam,
Lynn, and Holbeach Railways, the lime will proceed by loam.
Witham, Castle Bytham, South Wyllie'', and Wymondham, te a
point on the Syston and Peterborough line if railway near Molten-
Mowbray, thus forming, by the byston and Peterborough and Mid-
land Counties Railway, an almost direct rout* te 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 Bar-
ton-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincoln, Norfolk.
Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by mazy miles
than any other line of railway.
It will form, with other projected railways, an almost direct line
across the kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, on the east, to
ilberysterith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, OR the west.
The entire length will cot exceed thirty miles. There is no hornet-
ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary; Use line
from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve IBMs, is very
level, and may be constructed at a small coat.
It will secure the advantages of railway comma/11°41ton tea tract
ef country at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open-
ing out sources of trade undeveleped for want of the means if transit.
The central midland districts have felt greatly the want ef 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 transit for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei-
cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon
supply Rom 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 sod;
supplied at very high rates; aid, in return traffic, the midland dis-
tricts will obtain the advantage of a direct transit Itir the stock aid
agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk.
Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which to
the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, and
connected by the River Welland with the Berman Ocean.
The proposed capital will be sufficient for the construct!** of the
necessary works and every subsequent expense and the incense
derivable from the tram. in passengers between Birmingham, Co-
ventry, Leicester, Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Reston, 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 ars sew
in active progress, and contracts have been entered into whisk en-
sure sufficient time for compliance with the standing orders.
