ACTIN* ENGnann—Richard C. Carpenter, Esq.
SECRETARY—E. Jones, Esq.

The pert of Boston affords the readiest outlet for exports front the
manufacturing districts to the north of Europe, and the importance
of direct communication from the midland counties to a place so ad-
vantageously situate cannot be over-estimated.
Leicester has, or shortly will have, direct communication with
Birmingham, and all the other important towns in the midland
district.

The Midland Railway Company is extending the communication
to Melton Mowbray, by means of its branch from Syston to Peter.
borough, which passes through that place. There is also a complete
line a railway about to be established from Nottingham, through
Grantham and Folkingham, to Boston, as well as to Spalding, Wis.
beach, Lynn, Yarmouth, and other important towns in the eastern
counties.

The Leicester, Melton Mowbray, and Boston Direct Union Rail-
way, by forming a line from Melton Mowbray to Folkingham, will
supply tl►e only link wanting to complete a direct through communi-
cation from Birmingham, Warwick, Worces•er, Coventry, and the
manufacturing districts generally, to Boston, as well as by weans of
existing and projected railways from Wales and the Bristol Charnel,
to that seaport.

--
The length of the proposed line will not exceed twenty-six miles :
and as it will pass through a country very favourable for engineer-
ing purposes, the expense of construction will, it is expected; be less
titan the usual average. The admirable position of this railway can-
not fail, it is confidently expected, to command a large return, both
in passengers and in goods traffic.
The Company will be in a situation to deposit the Parliamentary
plans and sections in ample time for complying with the standing
orders, and enabling there to apply for their Act in the ensuing
session.

This railway will connect the east and west coasts, and form
direct route from the ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood-on-Wyre, and
Lancaster, to Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Commencing at Lancaster, it
will proceed up the valley of the Lune, by Kirkby Lonsdaie, Sedberga,
and Kirkby Stephen, and thence by the most practicable lino to New-
castle. It will run nearly parallel with the old coach road, which
has hitherto been the principal passenger rout* from Lancaster to
Newcastle.

It will readily be conceded that great benefits will flow from a
direct railway communication between the coal-fields and mining
districts if Durham and Northumberland, and the important towns
and ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood, Newcastle, and Lancaster.
The entire length of the line is rich in mineral productions—coal,
slate, limestone, marble, and other elements of a great local traffic
abound, and cannot fail I. make this one of the most remunerative
projects of the day. A considerable saving of distance between the
important towns on the ter►ssini is effected over any existing er pro-
jected scheme. _ _

It will be reserved to the Committee of Management to make such
alterations in the line, or the annunt of capital required, or other-
wise, as may be deemed most advantageous to the interests of the
Company. Power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate
of four per cent. on the calls from the passing of the Act to the
opening of the line, as well as to limit the liability of the shareholders
to the amount of their subscriptions only.

their duty to act independently, and to carry out their scheme in its
full and original integrity; that they have the same powerful sup-
port of the. landed proprietors and of the mercantile interests on the
line, and the same sure reliance on its merits ; that deposits to a
large amount have already been paid ; that the surveys and plans will
be ready to be deposited for the Board of Trade at the appointed
time ; and that this Committee feel the fullest confidence In being
able successfully to comply with Vie standing orders, and to go be-
fore Parliament at the next session and obtain their Bill.

By this line of railway it is intended to connect the free port of
Stockton with the manufacturing districts of the West Riding of
Yorkshire and the whole of Lancashire.
This important object will be attained at a trifling outlay of capital,
and ensure an amply remunerative traffic.
The line will be constructed from or near Stockton-on-Tees, to
or near to Northallerton, a distance of only eighteen miles, where it
will form a junction with the Great North of England Railway, which
will be traversed to Thirsk ; and from that place the communication
with Leeds and the other important manufacturing towns will be
completed by a railway already sanctioned by Parliament.
It will be seen, therefore, that the communication by railway be-
tween the free port of the Tees and the town of Leeds will be com-
pleted by the formation of " The Stockton, Northallerton, and Leeds
Railway." The advantages of this undertaking are too numerous
to specify in an advertisement; but merchants at all acquainted with
the immense export and import trade of the West Riding and of
Lancashire, will at once perceive how important it is to open to that
trade a port which, whilst it is as advantageous as any other in point
of distance, possesses facilities and immunities which none other
can offer.
Front the favourable locality of the port of Stockton, there is no
doubt that, with the additional facilities for the importation and
transit of merchandise which this railway will afford, the port will
occupy a leading position amongst those on the Eastern coast of
England.
The project has received very extensive local support; and almost
every landowner, through whose property the line is intended to pass,
has already signified his assent to the measure.
The line of the country has been surveyed by an engineer of talent
and experience, and, from his report, the work will be finished for
14,0001. a mile ; and there is no engineering difficulty of any descrip-
tion to encounter.
Applications for Shares, in the subjoined form, may be forwarded
to Messrs. Wilson and Faber, solicitors, Stockton; or to Samuel
Shepherd, Esq., solicitor, Northallerton ; up to -and including Satur-
day, the Ist day ofNovember next, on which day the list will finally

The chief objects of this Company are to carry into effect a condi-
tional arrangement entered into with Mons. Balletic for the purchase
of his patent for all Europe, and to sell licenses to use it.
The promoters confidently believe that the atmospheric system of
Mons. Hallette is the most perfect and economical that has been in-
vented for propulsion en railways and canals, and In this opinion
they are supported by that of many eminent men of science and ex-
perienced engineers.
By the arrangement entered into with the inventor, the deposit
will be more than will be required, until a contract to use the
patent on a railway has been actually signed. The risk, therefore,
w ill be small.

The object of this undertaking is to open a direct line of railway
to connect the Northern, Eastern, and South Essex Railways, by
means of a steam-ferry from Tilbury Fort to Gravesend, with Tun-
bridge Wells, Lewes, and Brighton.
It is contemplated to proceed from the Eastern Counties Railway
at or near Marlow station to Tilbury, crossing the river by a steam
floating-bridge to Gravesend, passing by Cobham, Snodiand, Mail-
ing, and lladlow, to Tunbridge, thence by the South-Eastern Railway
to Tunbridge Wells, passing Uckfleld to Lewes, and thence joining
the Brighton, Lewes, and Hastings Railway to Brighton.
An inspection of the map will clearly show the great importance of
this railway, whether considered in a local or national point of view,
fotming, as it will, a most useful chain of local communication for
the fertile and populous tracts through which it passes.
It will bring the Northern and Eastern Counties, the mouth of the
Thames, and North Kent, into direct communication, by way of
Brighton, with Dieppe and Havre, and thus form, in sonjunction
ith the railways now in progress on the Continent, the shortest
possible route to Paris and the Mediterranean.
By this railway the, large population of the north-eastern coun-
ties, numbering nearly two millions, will have a direct and easy com-
munication with tke whole of the populous and important counties of
Kent and Sussex, without going round to London, and thereby
avoiding the inconvenience arising front the unconnected lines north
and south of the metropolis.
The utility of this line to the naval and military service, both in
times of peace and war, for the convey nice of troops and stores, is
evident.
With the existing railways and those now in progress in Kent and
Sussex, a most complete system of local connnunication will be
effected; and as such, the project has been received with the most
distinguished approbation and pledges of support from the principal
proprietors airing the hue, and the corporation of Gravesend have
promised their entire sanction to, and will cordially support It.
The ground has been carefully surveyed, and found to present no
difficulties to the formation of a good working line.
The existing local traffic has been ascertained to he amply suffi-
cient to fulfil the requirements of the undertaking; but a large ac-
cession of valuable traffic cannot fail to be the result of the increased
accommodation thus afforded to the public, and rendering the under-
taking one of the most important as well as productive lines of rail-
way in that part of the country.
The Committee reserve power to themselves to form branches front
Snodland to Chatham and Maidstone.

The liability of the Shareholders ;;;11 be restricted by Act of Par-
liament to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be ap-
plied for in the Bill to allow interest at tour per cent. per annum on
all calls, from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line.

The Committee of Management have to announce with sincere
regret that, owing to the overwhelming number of applications for
shares in this undertaking, so many applicants of great respect-
ability have been necessarily excluded, and from the same cause, the
allotments are smaller than they otherwise might have bees, to meet
the required demands. The number allotted to the Provisional
Committee has been correspondingly limited.

The first object of this line is to connect the town of Eirrainghium,
Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route,
and to supply as important link if communication between the tows
of Spalding and the eastern coast, and the western and midland
districts.

Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereham,
Lynn, and Holbeack Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn.
Witham, Castle Bytham, South \Python), and Wyinondham, to a
point on the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near Melton-
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 most direct communication be-
tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, and will, by
means of the pro
posed lines across the county of Leicester, via Bur-
ton-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincoln, Norfolk,
It will form, with other projected railways, au almost direct line
any
across the kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, 01 the east, to
tBltharrre o' t enrd line No
r cto f h
rN allawly Males, nearer to each other by many miles
Aberystwith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the west.
The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. There is notuunel-
ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary; the line
from Bourn to Studding, a distance of about twelve miles, is very
level, and may be constructed at a small cost.

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-
tages of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershire works,
to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, which are at present only
supplied at very high rates; mad, in return traffic, the midland dis-
tricts will Main the advantage a direct transit for the stock and
agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk.
