The first object of this line Is to connect the town of Birmingham
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 and midland
districts.
Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereh am,
Lynn, and Ilolbeack Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn.
Witham, Castle Bytham, South Wytham, and WymOndham, to a
point on the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near Melton-
Mowbray, thus forming, by. the Syston and Peterborough and Mid-
land Counties Itailway, an almost direct route to 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 Bur-
ton-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincela, Norfolk,
Shropshire, and. North Wales, nearer to each other by many 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
Aberystwith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the west.
The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. There is notunnel-
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 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 transit 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 the 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
railway converge at Spalding, which is
coast for the midland counties, and
dis-
tricts will ontain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and
agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk.
connected by the River Welland with the German Ocean.
Severalthene
The proposed capital will be sufficient for the construction of the
ares pt r

on lineste easterno f
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 progreis, 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

This line has been projected for the iorpose of forming the most
direct communication lietween Binning'Bum and the Midland Coun-
ties, and the important and rising port of Aberystwith and the sea-
coast of Wales. _ _

It is intended to commeace at the junction of the Welch Midland
and Stour Valley Railways (both of which have projected lines to
Birmingham), between Kidderminster and Bewdley, and proceed from
thence through Cleobury Mortimer to Ludlow, where it will form a
junction with the Worcester and Portdyallaen, and Bridgnorth,
Ludlow, and Wolverhampton Railways. From Ludlow it will follow
the line of the present mail road, along the Valley of the Teme to
Knighton, from which place It is intended to throw off a branch to
the Craven Arms, to run into the Shropshire Mineral Railway, which
has its terminus at that place. The line will proceed from
Knighton to Lianidloes, where it will join the projeeteO Manchester
and Aberystwith Railway, and proceed along that line for the re-
mainder of the distance. The nee of all projected lines being thus
sought for, the part to be made will not exceed sixty miles ; and as
surveyors are already upon the line, the plans, &c., will all be ready
to go to Parliament in the ensuing session.
The advantages of the present line over any other projected rail-
way between Birmingham and Aberystwith are :—That it is the
most direct route between the respective termini ; that it passes
through a district at present unprovided with railway accommoda-
tion ; that by it and the Birmingham, Stamford, amid Boston lines, a
regular chain of railway communication is opened between St.
George's Channel and the German Ocean; and by the Great
Eastern and Western line a communication is also opened with
Yarmouth, Norwich, and King's Lynn ; that it will open the slate
mines of Cardiganshire, and the limestone of Radnorshire to Shrop-
shire, and the whole of the midland counties ; while, on the ether
hand, by the branch from the Craven Arms, the coals of Shropshire
will be brought into Radnorshire, Montgomeryshire, and Cardigan-
shire, where that article does not exist, at little more than one-third
of its present cost. From these and other sources of traffic it must
be obvious that a high rate of interest upon the capital embarked
may be depended upon.
The line throughout the whole distance meets with the most influ-
ential local support, so as to ensure its complete success.
There are no engineering difficulties of any magnitude, and no
ornamental property will be invaded. Should the atmospheric pinei-
ple be fully tested and be found to answer, it will he adopted on this
line.
The responsibility of the shareholders will be limited to the amount
of their subscriptions, and pAverwill be taken in the Act to allow in-
terest at four per cent. on the calls. The Committee 'reserve the
usual power to amalgamate with any other existing Company or
Companies, to limit or vary the line, as to them shall seem most
expedient, in order to carry out the objects of the Company.

Capital, 330,0001., in Shares of2ol. each.
Deposit 2/. 2s. per Share.
At a meeting of the Provisional Committee of this undertaking,
held at Radley's Hotel, on Wednesday, the sth Instant, it was una-
nimously resolved to apply fur powers to construct a branch line
about four miles in length, from Elinsted to Alresford, thus connect-
ing the town of Colchester with the deep water of The river Coble,
at the nearest point, and where vessels of 500 tons can discharge
their cargoes with safety, by means of which Colchester will be com-
pletely established as a seaport town.
The engineers reported that the cost of this branch, with all suit-
able works, would not exceed 50,0001., and it was resolved to Increase
the capital by that amount accordingly, and instructions were given
for the necessary survey being forthwith proceeded in.
As the allotment of shares will not take place until the standing
orders are complied with previously to the 30th instant, applications
for prospectuses, plans, and shares, will continue to be received by
the solicitors and brokers already advertised.

GREAT GRIMSBY, SHEFFIELD, THE
POTTERIES, AND GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY.
The allusion to the meeting which took place in Manchester on the
24th of October last with the Committee of the Sheffield, Buxton,
Leek, Potteries, and Crewe Railway, contained in the circular of the
3d November, signed " G. C. Holland, Chairman," and addressed to
the applicants for shares in the proposed Great Grimsby, Sheffield,
the Potteries, and Grand Junction Railway, is evidently, from the
ambiguity of its phraseology intended to serve a particular purpose.
The proposal for an amalgamation of the two undertakings above
named was made by the promoters of the Great Grimsby, Sheffield,
the Potteries, and Grand Junction Railway, awl not by the Pro-
visional Directors of the Sheffield, Buxton, Leek, Pateries, and
Crewe Railway.% The latter feel that the adoption of any other course
than the one they decided 'upon on the 24th ult. could not have
proved otherwise than Injurious to the Interest of their shareholders.
It is stated in the circular, that negotiations are now pending, with
every prospect of success, of a nature which must materially eahance
the value of this undertaking ; in reply to which it is sufficient to
state that, whatever the negotiations here alluded to may be, none
whatever are pending between the Sheffield, Buxton, Leek, Pot-
teries, aad Crewe, and Great Grimsby, Sheffield, the Potteries, and
Grand Junction Committees.
