This line is projected by the Norfolk Railway Company and the
Grand Union Railway Company, and it will form a connecting link
between those two lines.

Leaving the station of the Norfolk Company at Brandon, the line
proceeds via Downham Market to Wisbech, and from thence to Spald-
ing, being a distance of about 40 miles. At the latter town it joins
the Grand Union Railway, which continues via Grantham to Not-
tingham, thus completing a direct and independent line of communi-
cation between Yarmouth and Norwich, and Nottingham and the
manufacturing districts.

The distance between the termini will be as short by the proposed
route as by the Lynn and Ely and Lynn and Dereham lines ; whilst
the traffic between Nottingham. Yarmouth, and Norwich, and the
central, west, and south parts of Norfolk, the north of Cambridge-
shire, and the counties of Suffolk and Essex, being under the control
offriendly Companies, will be secured for this undertaking.
Estimates for the traffic are in course of preparation. In the mean-
time It may be stated that, from the data already furnished respecting
some of the important loca sties through which the line passes, added
to the fact that it forms part of a direct course of railway communi-
cation between Manchester and the surrounding manufacturing dis-
tricts, and the ports of Yarmouth and Lynn, there is no doubt an
ample remuneration will be secured for the shareholders.
Satisfactory arrangements have been made with the Eastern
Counties Railway Company in reference to that portion of the line
between Wisbech and Spalding, which has been agreed to be leased
by them from the Wisbech and St. Ives Company.
If the Wisbech and St. Ives Company succeed in their application
to Parliament, the line to be made by this Company will be limited
to that part between Wisbech and Brandon ; and in either case the
two Companies promoting this line have agreed to take a lease of it at
a rental equal to 4 per cent. on the outlay, and a moiety of the sur-
plus profits.

In the allotment of shares preference will be given to the share-
hoUlers of the Norfolk and Grand Union Railway Companies.
Applications to be addressed to Richard Till, Esq., Norfolk Rail-
way Company, Guildhall-buildings ; or to Alfred Beeston, Esq.,
78, Cornhlll.
