The port of Boston affords the readiest outlet for exports free the
manufacturing districts to the north of Europe, and the importance
of direct communication from the midland counties to a place so ad-
vantageously situate cannot be over-estimated.
Leicester has, or shortly will have, direct communieation with
Birmingham. and all the other important towns in the midland
district.

The Midland Railway Company is extending the communication
to Melton Mowbray, by means of its branch from Syston to Peter-
borough, which *asses through that place. There is also a complete
line of railway about to be established from Nottingham, through
Grantham and Felkingham, to Roston, as well as to Spalding, Wis-
beach, Lynn, Yarmouth, and other important towns in the eastern
counties.

The Leicester, Melton Mowbray, and Boston Direct 'Union Rail-
way, by forming a line from Melton Mowbray to Folkingham, will
supply the only link wanting to complete a direct through communi-
cation from Birmingham, Warwick, Worces'er, Coventry, and the
Manufacturing districts generally, to Boston, as well as by means of
existing and projected railways from Wales and the Bristol Channel,
to that seaport.

The length of the proposed line will not exceed twenty-six miles
and as it will pass through a country very favourable for engineer-
ing purposes, the expense of construction will, it is expected, be less
than the usual average. The admirable position of this railway can-
not fail, it is confidently expected, to command a large return, both
in passengers and in goods traffic.
The Company will be in a situation to deposit the Parliamentary
plans and sections in ample time for complying with the standing
orders, and enabling theta to apply for their Act in the .ensuing
session.

rrHE PROJECTED NORWICH and WEST
.A. NORFOLK RAILWAY, by the valley of the Wensum.
We, the undersigned (owners and occupiers of land, in the district
proposed to be traversed by the above Railway, and in its immediate
neighbourhood), do hereby give notice, that we have come to a re-
solution to oppose the above project by all means in our power, as
we are of opinion that the entire division of West Norfolk will be
much better supplied with railway accommodation by the projected
NORWICH AND DEREHAM DIRECT RAILWAY, in connexion
with the Lynn and Derehan Railway, and the projected line from
Dereham to Fakenham and Wells; and we are also of opinion that
the DEREHAM DIRECT LINE is entitled to the decided pre-
ference of the public, from the additional advantages which it affords
as a direct communication from Norwich, not only to the ports of
Lynn and Walls, but also to the northern districts of the kingdom.

Mr. Wiliam Barker I New-street, Huddersfield.
Messrs. Brook and Freeman

The object of this undertaking is to form a continuous line of rail-
way from Leeds to Liverpool, by extending the lines already made,
or sanctioned by Parliament, from their respective termini at Hud-
dersfield, in Yorkshire, and Bury, for which extension a line of rail-
way only 25 miles in length is requisite. The proposed line will com-
mence at the Huddersfield station, between which place and Leeds.
Parliament has already sanctioned the formation of railways, and
from Huddersfield the proposed line will proceed by way of Hillhouse'
Birchencliffe, and Lindley, and thence along the valley between
Stainland and Greet'and, through Bark'sland, the Yale of Ripponden,
and by Rochdale to Bury, in Lancashire, where it will join the ter-
minus of the Liverpool and Bury line of railway.
In addition to completing a direct communication from Liverpool
to Leeds, Hull, and Goole, by the shortest practicable routs, and by
a much smaller outlay of capital, than by any other proposed line, it
will provide for a large and important manufacturing popilation,
hitherto without the advantage of railway accommodation, an outlet
to the south by means of the Huddersfield and Sheffield Junction
Railway, and to Manchester and to North and South Lancashire by
the railways above mentioned, and by the Leeds and Manchester
Railway, by a proposed junction therewith at Rochdale.
This line, when completed, will, in addition to the advantages
which it presents as a through line, pass through a succession of val-
leys thickly studded with mills and manufactories, consuming a
large quantity of raw materials and coal, all of which are brought
trona a distance, and transmitting to other districts the produce of
their industry, for which purposes a line of railway has become ab-
solutely necessary, and there can be no doubt that an ample return
will be realised for the outlay of capital required.
The distance between Huddersfield and Rochdale by tko present
line of railway is thirty miles, which by the proposed railway will be
reduced to seventeen miles.
The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the right of enter-
ing into any arrangements with existing railway companjes that may
appear desirable. And power will be taken by the Act of Parliament
to allow interest to the shareholders at the rate of 4/. per cent. per
annum on the amounts paid on their shares from the respective times
of payment to tke times of opening the railway.
Applications for shares may be addressed, in the subjoined form, to
any of the undermentiened Sharebrokers, viz.—Messrs. Hill, Fawcett
and Hill, Threadneedle-street, London; Mr. David Kinnear, Edin-
' burgh ; Messrs. W. Moore and Co., Messrs. J. Getliff and Co.,

Messrs. Cameron, Bagenove, and Taunton, Messrs. Lloyd and Price,

lyn, Manchester; or to the Solicitors to the Company.
The names of a highly-respectable and influential Provisional Com-
mittee will be published in a few days.

This railway will pass from the city of Exeter, through the
rich valley of the Exe, via Silverton and Bickleigh, direct to
Tiverton, one of the chief towns of this important district, and
formerly the principal market and manufacturing town of the west
of England. It will administer largely to the prosperity of this
rich and productive country, and will pass from Tiverton, by Batty-
ton, Dulverton, and Dunster, to the port of Minehead in the Bristol
Channel, opposite Landaff, Swansea, and Cardiff, from whence the
produce of the rich mines and quarries of Merthyr Tydril, Ponty-
pool, and Newport, in Wales, can be transferred by the shortest
route to the English markets. From Minehead it will pass by
Porlock and Combe-Marten to the much-frequented watering-place
of Ilfracombe, where it unites with the Barnstaple and Ilfracombe

This railway will connect the east and west coasts, and form
direct route from the ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood-on-Wyre, and
Lancaster, to Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Commencing at Lancaster, it
will proceed up the valley of the Lune, by Kirkby Lonsdale, Sedbergh,
and Kirkby Stephen, and thence by the most practicable line to New-
castle. It will run nearly parallel with the old coach road, which
has hitherto been the principal passenger route from Lancaster to
Newcastle.

It will readily be conceded that great benefits will flow from a
direct railway communication between the coal-fields and mining
districts of Durham and Northumberland, and the important towns
and ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood, Newcastle, aid Lancaster.
The entire length of the line is rich in mineral productions—coal,
slate, limestone, marble, and other elements of a great local traffic
abound, and cannot fail to make this ene of the most remunerative
projects of the day. A considerable saving of distance between the
important towns on the tenant( is effected over any existing er pro-
jected scheme.
It will be reserved to the Committee of Management to make such
alterations in the line, or the amount of capital required, or other-
wise, as may be deemed most advantageous to the interests of the
Company. Power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate
of four per cent. on the calls from the passing of the Act to the
opening of the line, as well as to limit the liability of the shareholders
to the amount of their subscriptions only.
Prospectuses and forms of application for sharee may be had of the
Solicitors, and of the following brokers:—

By this line of railway it is intended to connect the free port of
Stockton with the manufacturing districts of the West Riding of
Yorkshire and the whole of Lancashire.
This important object will be attained at a trifling outlay of capital,
and ensure an amply remunerative traffic.
The line will he constructed from or near Stockton-on-Tees, to
or near to Northallerton, a distance of only eighteen miles, where it
will form a junction with the Great North of England Railway, which
will be traversed to Thirsk ; and from that place the communication
wills Leeds and the other important manufacturing towns will be
completed by a railway already sanctioned by Parliament.
It will be seen, therefore, that the communication by railway be-
tween the free port of the Tees and the town of Leeds will be com-
pleted by the formation of " The Stockton, Northallerton, and Leeds
Railway." The advantages of this undertaking are too numerous
to specify in an advertisement ; but merchants at all acquainted with
the immense export and import trade of the West Riding and of
Lancashire, will at once perceive how important it is to open to that
trade a port which, whilst it is as advantageous as any other in point
of distance, possesses facilities and immunities which none other
can offer.
From the favonrable locality of the port of Stockton, there is no
doubt that, with the additional facilities for the importation and
transit of merchandise which this railway will afford, the port will
occupy a leading position amongst those on the Eastern coast of
England.
The project has received very extensive local support ; and almost
every landowner, through whose property the line is intended to pass,
has already signified his assent to the measure.
The line of the country has been surveyed by an engineer of talent
and experience, and, from his report, the work will be finished for
14,0001. a mile ; and there is no engineering difficulty of any descrip-
tion to encounter.
Applications for Shares, in the subjoined form, may be forwarded
to Messrs. Wilson and Faber, solicitors, Stockton; or to Samuel
Shepherd, Esq., solicitor, Northallerton; up to -and including Satur-
day, the Ist day ofNovember next, on which day the list will finally
close, and the allotment be immediately proceeded with.
