The first object of this line is to connect the town of llirminginun
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 mad midland
districts.

- ...
Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereham,
Lynn, and Holbeaclt Railways, the lice will proceed by Bourn.
Witham, Castle Bytham, South Wytham, and Wymoudham, to a
point on the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near Melton-
Mowbray, thus forming, by the Systou and Peterborough and Mid-
land Counties Railway, an alinost direct route to Leicester, and
thence to Coventry and Birdiingliam 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-
an almost direct line
ton-upeu-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.

The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. There Is no tunnel-
ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary; the line
item 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 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 once supply the
deficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire,
It will afford a trawit 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 theadvan-
re transit for the stock and
agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and.Nerfolk.nt traffic, the midland dis-
tricts of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershire works,
to the agricultural districts of Lincoln,-which are at present only

and,
of a direct inrdetue
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 propesed•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 Birmingha:n, ,Co-
ventry, Leicester. Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Boston, thetrans-
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
I districts, will be sufficiently temple to warrant the outlay.
The Parliamentary surveys leave 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.
