PROSPECTUS.

The (Sects inteneled to be accomplished by this undertaking are—
Firstly —The supply of local railway accommodation to the impor-
tant districts embraced by the line.
Secondly—The benefit Of railway communication with the metro-
polis to a district of country upwards of fifty miles in length at pre-
sent unprovided with that accommodation.
Thirdly—The completion of the chain of railway communication
between the river Severn and the southern and western counties, and
the north-eastern district of the kingdom and the river Humber and
its ports, including that of Hull.
Commencing at the town ofNorthampton, in conjunction with the
London and Birmingham, and the lines of railway proposed to con-
verge at that town from Cheltenham, and the west from Worcester
and from Warwick, the line will proceed in a direct course to the
market town-of Kettering, by which place all the companies compet-
ing for the line of railway between London and Manchester propose
to pass. It will then proceed also in a direct course to the market
towns of Uppingham, Oakham, and Grantham, on to Lincoln.
The country lying between the towns of Northampton and Grant-
ham is wholly without existing or even proposed railway accommo-
dation, not only to the south but also to the north.
At Lincoln the line will fork, and proceed, on the one hand, in a
northerly direction to the flourishing port of Gainshorough, and, on
the other, by a north-eastern coarse to the market town of Market
Itaisen, on to the rising port of Great Grimsby.
By a union with the Sheffield and Great Grimsby Junction Rail-
way at Market Raisen, a direct and uninterrupted chain of commtmi-
cation will be established between all the above-mentioned districts
And the town and port of Hull.
The sources of traffic which this line will secure are various and
very considerable ; some of them only
lie will can be here enumerated, viz.:—
,Starting from Great Grimsby, the l appropriate to itself the
whole of the traffic from thence to the metropolis, and also the
securend western districts of the kingdom, and, in addition. it
will ec important and increasing local traffic between that
town and Market Raisen and Lincoln.
From Gainaheeengh, the termini of several railways from the
north and north-west, this line will carry the traffic to Lincoln, its
county town.
The traffic from Hull to the metropolis, and also to the west, wilt
enter upon this line at Market itta.Sen and proceed thereon to Lincoln.
From Lincoln the whole of the traffic passing to the west and the
Intermediate towns must pass over tine.
In tile event of the Cambridge and Lin:.`ol Railway Company not
btaining their Bill, then the traffic from Litwin to the south and
west, and also the metropolis, will pass along thi3 Was of railway ; the
former the whole distance, and the latter in any event to grantham,
a distance of Atilt twenty-five miles ; and should the London and
York Company not suceeee., such traffic will proceed on to Kettering
or Northareptou.
The entire district between Grantham and Kettering, a distazlc
