BANKERS.
London—London and Westminster Bank and Branches
Gainsborough and Lincoln—The Lincoln and Lindsay Banking
Company
• Goole—The York Banking Company
. Leeds—Messrs. Beckett and Co.
Doncaster—Sir W. B. Cooke, Bart., and Co.
This Company is formed to provide railway accommodation for
the Isle of Axholme, the towns on the east bank of the Trent,
In Lincolnshire, the extensive district called Marshland ; the towns of
Thorne, Hatfield, and Snaith, in Yorkshire, and the several places on
"%West bank of the Trent, in Nottinghamhire, between Gainsborough
411t1 the Isle of Axholme.
This country contains 40,000 inhabitants, in an area of 160,000
Peres of very productive land, including 60,000 acres called warp
land, formed by rich alluvial deposit. The potatoes alone
grown within it for the London and Yorkshire markets, exceed
120,800 tons annually, and the total agricultural exports and im-
Ports exceed 266,000 tons per annum. The whole of this country is
lit present destitute of railway accommodation or any certain means
Whatever of public conveyance. Hence travelling within it is un-
Usually expensive and dilatory, and large quantities of produce, par-
ticularly potatoes, are frequently spoiled for want of prompt means
of export to the markets of the manufacturing districts, and London.
The proposed line will effectually supply this want, and will also im-
port into the district coals, and other necessaries of life, at a greatly
reduced cost, together with natural and artificial manures for in-
creasing the permanent value and productive powers of the land. It
Will bring the l'ort of Goole within 21 miles of that of Gainsborough,
lind within 60 miles of that of Great Grimsby. It will present to
the' manufacturing districts the readiest access to the German
Ocean and the north of Europe, avoiding the delay and heavy charges
Of carriage and shipment to and from Hull.
The extension from Goole to Selby, connecting this line with the
London and York, and also with the Leeds and Selby (to each of
'which, as well as the Grimsby and Sheffield, it will be a valuable
feeder) will open a direct communication to the north of England ;
and this, the present scheme, will supply all the accommodation now
Wanting for the north and east of Lincolnshire.
It will pass through an easy country, almost on a level, without
any tunnel or deep cutting whatever,not impeding any navigation,
drainage, or warping, nor prejudicing any residential property; and
'ill,' it is calculated, be constructed considerably within the estimated
capital. Power will be applied for to allow interest at 41. per cent.
en the calls until the line is completed.
Application for shares to be made in the subjoined form to Messrs.
Igeott and Tahourdin, Solicitors, 25, Lincoln's-inn-fields ; to Richard
Dawson, Esq., solicitor, Epworth, Lincolnshire ; or to the following
Rharebrokers :
