ACTING ENOINEFR—Rtehard C. Carpenter, Esq.
SECRETARY—E. Jones, Esq.

The port of Boston affords the readiest outlet for exports from 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 communication 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 passea tbroegh that place. There is also a complete
line of railway about to ba established from Nottingham, through
Grantham and Felkingham, 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 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 moans 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 exaen.ae of construction will, it is expected, be less
thee 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 they is apply for their Act in the ensuing
session.

avail themselves of the accommolation afforded to them by this
Company.
he promoters feel considerable satisfaction in announcing a source
of revenue from this pr.dect never yet contemplated by any other
Company, viz., the construction under the line to Camberwell Of
dwellings or tenements, thrilling one Continued street, thereby im-
proving the locality through which it runs ; from this an immense
income will ba derived.
The entire distance of these lines from Camberwell will be about
ninety miles, and is free from engineering difficulties. The charac-
ter of the country through which the railway will pass is peculiarly
favourable ; and from the report of the engineer, made on his preli-
minary survey, they will bp constructed within the sum proposed.
I
tis into ded to construct this railway on the atmospheric prin-
ciple, both on account of the facility which that method affords for
stopping at short distances to accommodate the highly respectable
suburban population, to avoid the rossibllity of collision, and also
the bringing of locomotive' engines into London.
Powers for allowance of interest at 41. per cent. on the paid up
capital will be taken, and the liability of shareholders limited to the
amount of their subscriptions.
Power will also be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime
will be given to the directors, to alter or vary the proposed capital,
either before or after the allotment, in order to construct branch
lines, to Seven Oaks, to Dulwich and Norwood, and to the South-
Western Railway, thereby accomplishing the much-desired object
of giving that Company a City terminus:

This line is designed to open a direct communicatloe between
towns of Birmingham and Boston.
The advantages to be derived by a rich, progressing, and popsieus
town, such as Birmingham; the great manufacturing ccntro of the
kingdom, having a direct communication with a port on tho eastern
coast facing the Continent, and that port the nearest to it 1.),}, geo-
graphical position, need but to be mentioned to he appreciated.
The name of fiirming.hant speaks for itself; the capacity en
valno of Boston as a commercial port is daily incrcasing; and re-
quires but little enterprise to enable it to compete with sonic of our
best pons. _ . _ _

It is propofed that th.:o line shoula con-uncivil at Leicester, where

It will term a cmthert:.tion of the direct line from Birmingham to
that town, and procc,..lMg by Cr near Melton 2lowbray, Corby,
Folkenham, and Don; i:igton, terminate at Boston ; this affording a
direct communication I:et we,n Birmingham and its important manu-
facturing districts—lingi,y, the great railway centre of England, and
Boston, their nearest seaport, which eventually must command the
traffic of the districts with which it is in connexion and the oppo
site ports of the Continent.
A glance at the map will show how this line is fed, and the tow: s
In its neighbourhood supplied with railway accommodation by the I: -
tersecting lines ; but in the event of the London and York lino mt
obtaining Its Act, it is proposed by this Cianpany to construct a
branch to t;ram ham.

The country is casty, presenting few or no engineering difgenities.
Another advantage held out by this project is the improvement of
the harbour of Boston, whereby it will he restored t• that eminent
position it formerly held among the ports and harbours of the
kingdom. . . . .

Tire usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest at 4
per cent. per annum after passing the Act, on the amount of the
sub cription paid up. No subscriber shall be ens n crable ior more
than the amount of his deposit until the Act he obtained, attd thus
nca beyond the amount of his subscription.

proposed line.
