PROSPECTUS.
The eFgects dotintende local ccomplished by this undertaking are—
Firstly —The supply oc railway accommodation to the impor-
tant districts embraced by the line.
Secondly—The benefit of railway communication with the metro-
polls to a district of country upwards of fifty miles in length at pre-
sent unprovided with that accommodation.
hirdly—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 Number and
its per: Including that of Hull.
Commencing at the town of Northampton, 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 lino of railway between London and Manchester propose
to pass. It will then proceed also in a direct course to the market
towns of Urpingham, 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 Gainsborough, and, on
the other, by a north-eastern course to the market town of Market
Ralsen, 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 communi-
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 can be here enumerated, viz.:—
Starting from Great Grimsby, the line will appropriate to itself the
whole of the traffic from thence to the metropolis, and also the
southern and western districts of the kingdom, and, in addition, it
will secure the important and increasing local traffic between that
town and Market Ralsen and Lincoln.

From Gainsborough, 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, will
enter upon this line at Marketßaisen and proceed thereon to Lincoln.
From Lincoln the whole of the trate passing to the west and the
intermediate towns must pass over this line.
In tie event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not
obtaining their Bill, then the traffic from Lincoln to the south and
west, and also the metropolis, will pass along this line of railway; the
former the wholf distance, and the latter in any event to Grantham,
a distance of allbut twenty-five miles ; and should the London and
York Company not succeed, such traffic will proceed on to Kettering
or Northampton.
The entire district between Grantham and Kettering, a distance
Of more than forty rniles, and including the market towns of
Oakingham and Uppingtam, is without a railwie, or water-carriage
accommodation, and the whole of its traffic therefore will travel over
this line of railway, which will be in the direct course not only to
tl:e west but also to London.
At Kettering this line will unite with that one of the now com-
pctlng schemes passing that town from Manchester and Leicester to
London; which shall be successful before Parliament.
The country is free from engineering difficulties, with one or two
exceptions only, and those are more than counterbalanced by the
very favourable gradients of by far the greater portion of the
indeed for many miles the line will run upon a water level.;
The line will not interfere with any ornamental property.
The landowners on the line are favourable to the undertaking.
The promoters reserve power to alter and vary the route, to ex-
tend the proposed line of railway, and to increase the amount of ca-
pital as may be necessary or advisable.

following Sharebrekers, of whom prospectus es with maps of the line
