SECRETARY—WiIIiam Itanyard, Esq.
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 an important link of communication between the town
of Spalding and the eastern coast wills the Western and Midland
districts.

Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereham,
Lynn, and Ilolbcaels Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn,
Witham, Castle Bytham, South Wythatn, and Wymondham, to a
point on the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near l‘telton-
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, and will, by
items of the proposed lines across the county of Leicester, via Bur-
ton-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincoln, Norfolk,
Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by many miles
than any other line of rallny.,
It will form, with

lmuttl,intoe
'nlength will not exceed thirty miles. There is no tnnnel-
n ha,

llaineberTgo,ll7gslescutethtwintetit;hge l,
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 coat.
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-
tagest of an unlimited supply of lime from ths 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 oktain 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 on the eastern coast for the midland counties, and
connected by the River Welland with the German 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, Leicestet, 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 now
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 Solicitors ; also at the offices of the Company, 4, Tra
faigar-square, Charing.cross, where applications for shares, accom
parried by respectable references, may be addressed to the FrOv-
atonal Committee.

PROSPECTUS.

This line of railway, although only about twenty-eight miles in
length, is a most important one, as forming a connecting link to
several existing lines, and across a district at present destitute of
such accommodation. It commences at the Thirsk station on the
Great North of England Railway, and proceeds in a direct line to
Pickering, where it will form a junction with the York, Scarborough,
Pickering, and Whitby lines. It is supported by the various com-
panies having lines of railway running int• Leeds and Thirsk, and
by means of this proposed line a distance of twenty-two miles will
be saved between Thirsk and Whitby, and about sixteen between
Thirsk and Scarborough. It would certainly be the grand route to
Whitby, Scarborough, and Burlington, and the intermediate towns
of Helmsley and Kirkby-Moorside, s• badly provided for at present
with railway accommodation, from all places west or north of Thirsk,
and it would necessarily open out a traffic, for which the present
means of communication are altogether inadequate.
The landowners on the line are few in num,,er, and are friendly to
the project, which presents no great engineering difficulties. It In-
terferes with no existing railway property, and every care will be
taken not to interfere wills any ornamental property.
It will at once appear unnecessary, with respect:to this line, to enter
into details of passengers and goods traffic. They cannot for a mo-
ment be questioned; and when by this railway so much easier access
is made between the important seaport of Whitby and the fashion-
able resorts of Scarborough, Burlington Quay, and Harrowgate, as well
as the populous and important towns of the West Riding of York-
shire and Lancashire, with which it will form an uninterrupted com-
munication, it cannot fail to be highly beneficial to those interested in
this undertaking.
Until the Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the
proposed Company will be under the control of the Committee, of
whom five are to be a quorum.

Application for shares must b' made to the solicitors of the Com-
pany (of whom prospectuses and forms of applications may be ob•
tamed), accompanied by a reference either to some member of the
Committee, ene of the solicitors, or one of the following share-
brokers—viz, Messrs. Boyd, 4, New Bank-buildings; and Robert
Johnston, Esq., 5, Shorter's-court, Throgmort •n-street, London;
Messrs. Risdales, Myers, and Bailey, and James Hill and Co., Leeds ;
Messrs. Watson and Taylor, Darlington.
