rallTagye°cmomPrnant3;nliclailboFseibletfewrinTenedCfao
important districts of France anti Belgium containing a population of
above 600,000 inhabitants, and forming a junction with the State
Railway at Bruges, which has now become the most direct route to
the interior of Belgium, Germany, Prassin, and the countries east
of the French frontier.
In laying before the public the prospectus of this proposed line, it
may be mentioned as one of its principal advantages, that it will
reduce the passage from London to Brussels, now occupying
twenty-four or twenty-six hours, under the most favourable circum-
stances, and often thirty or forty, to twelve hours, rendering it prac-
ticable to make the journey with case in one day, and at two-thirds
of the present expense. The long, tedious, and uncertain sea voyage
will also be avoided from Dover to Ostend, which, to travellers gene-
rally, and particularly to ladles and invalids, is exceedingly dis-
agreeable, and often attended with serious consequences.
It can hardly admit of a question, that the principal part of the
passenger traffic between the two capitals, Londcn and Brussels, to-
gether with the passenger traffic of the populous cities of Antwerp,
and Ghent, the latter being the Manchester of Belgium, and the im-
portant towns of St. Nieholar and Tierlmond, will be, under these
circumstances, drawn into this channel ; and another important ad-
vantage to the publie, and source of revenue to the Company, will be
found In the transmission of the Belgian, German, and Prussian I
mails, which are now conveyed by steamers from Dover to Ostend,
at a very considerable expense, and with much less certaillif VW .

RAILWAY.
Capital 800,0001., in 40,000 Shares of 201. each.
Deposit 21. 2s. per Share.
This Company has been formed for making the above line of rail-
way, and a list of the Provisional Committee, containing most influ-
ential names, will appear in a few days.
This railway will commence at the University town of Cambridge,
and proceed from thence to Colchester, passing through or near the
towns of Linton, Haverhill, Great Yeldham, Hedingham, and Hal-
stead, proceeding by Thorp and Weeley to Walton-on-the-Naze.
On reference to the map, it will be seen that this line will pass
through a part of the country at present unprovided with railway ac-
commodation, and bring the town of Cambridge in close connexion
with Colchester and the fast improving seaport town of Harwich,
and by means of the railways already formed and proposed to be
formed, will open a communication with Yorkshire and all parts of
the North, with Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, Manchester, Liver-
pool, and other large manufacturing towns, and the rich mineral dis-
tricts of Staffordshire, the important towns of Birmingham and
Worcester, North and South Wales, and by the Northampton, Ban-
bury, and Cheltenham Railway, with all parts of the west cf Eng-
land, as well as opening a direct comniouication to the important sea-
port towns on the eastern coast.
A considerable Parliamentary grant having been made to improve
the harbour of Harwich, a Company has been formed to make large
and commodlous docks at that place, and from the fact of Harwich
being directly opposite the ports of Holland (thus bringing it in com-
munication with the railways hi Germany), there Is no doubt but
that Harwich will :become a first-rate seaport town for extensive
commercial and passenger traffic, and will be a powerful feeder to
this line.

The town of Colchester is also a seaport, from which coals and
goods in large quantities are supplied to Halstead and the adjacent
populous towns and villages, and goon's, flour, malt, &c., in large
quantities are shipped (supplied from the district through which this
line is proposed to pass)
.to London and other places.
Therefore, this line will open a communication much needed, and
there cannot be any doubt but that the undertaking is one of great
importance, as affording railway accommodation to a large and
populous district of country through which it will pass, and that it
wid pay a good rate of Interest on the capital invested.
From Colchester the hue will proceed to the fast-improving and
much-admired watering-place, Walton-on-the-Naze, passing through
Thorp and Weeley, and thereby afford railway accommodation from
the midland counties to that place of summer resort for sea-bathing.
Power will be applied for to allow 4/. per cent. on deposits and all
calls until the line is opened.
Prospectuses and plans will be forthwith issued, and, in the mean-
time, applications for shares may be made to the Solicitors, George
Weller, isq., t 3, Kin's-road, Bedford-row, London; George Pell,
jun., Esq., Wellord, Northamptonshire; and George Cooke, Esq.,
Northampton.

The pert of Boston affords the readiest outlet for exports from the
manufacturing districts to tile north of Europe, and the importance
of direct communication from the midland counties to a place ad-
vantageously situate cannot be over-estimated.
Leicester has, or shortly will have, direct communication with
Birinhigliam, and all the other important towns In the midland
district.
The Midland Railway Company is extendine', the communication
to Melton Mowbray, by means of its branch front Syston to Peter-
borough, which passes through that place. There is also a complete
line of railway about to be established from Nottingham, through
Grantham and Folkingham, to Boston, 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 Folkingliarn,
will
supply the only lick wanting to complete a direct through communi-
cation front Birmingham, Warwick, Worces'cr, Coventry, and the
manufacturing districts generally, to Boston, as well as means of
existing and projected railways from Wales and the Bristol Channel
to that seaport.
The lcng'h 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 goads 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 them to apply for their Act in the ensuing
session.
Applications for shares to be addressed to the solicitors, Messrs.
Potter and Collingridge, No. 5, Baiinghall.street, London ; to Messrs.
