This railway will connect the east and west coasts, and form a
direct route from the ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood-on-Wyre, and
Lancaster, to Newcastle-upon-Tync. Commencing at Lancaster, it
will proceed up the valley of the Lune, by Kirkby Lonsdale, Sedhergii,
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 Item Lancaster to
Newcastle.

It will readily be conceded that great benefits will flow from a
direct railway communication between the coal-flolds aid mining
districts of Durham and Northumberland, and the important towns
and ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood, Newcastle, and Lancaster.

The entire lengtk of the line is rich in mineral predactions—coal,
slate, limestone, marble, and ether elements of a great local traffic,
abound, and cannot fail te make this one of the most remunerative
projects of the day. A considerable saving of distance between the
important towns on the termini 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 sun-mat of capital required, or other-
wise, as may be deemed most advantageous te the interests lthe
Company. Power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate
of four per cent. on the calla 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 torni of application- for shares may be had of the
Solicitors, and of the following brokers:—

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 as important lick of communlcatiox betweri the tows
of Spelling axd the eastern coast, and the western aid midland
districts.

Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Derekam,
Lynn, and Ilolbeach Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn,
Witham, Castle Bytham, South Wythara, and Wymendham, 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 Railway, 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 moat direct communication be-
tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, aid will, by
means of the proposed lines across the county of Leicester, via Bar-
ton-apon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lineolu, Norfolk.
Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by many Miles
than any other line of railway_
It will firm, with other projected railways, an almost direct line
across the kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, on the cast, to
Aberystwith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the west.
The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. There is notannel.
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 out 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 dis-
tricts will obtain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and
agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk.
Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which is
the nearest point OR the eastern coast for the midland counties, and
connected by the River Welland with the aermaa 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 new
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 Solititors ; also at the offices of the Company, 4, Tra-
