Ist. That this meeting highly appreciates the liberal spirit in
which the Great Eastern and Western Railway Company has re-
sponded to the appeal addressed to them, in a memorial signed by
the most influential landed proprietors and others Interested in this
locality, by affording their prompt and zealous aid in forming and
supporting a line of railway from Leominster by this town to unite
with the Great Eastern and Western Railway near the city of Wor-
cester, but for which prompt response and aid this locality would
have been deprived of all direct railway communication, the Welsh
Midland Company having, though memorialised, abandoned it, and
the Great Western Company having declined to include it in any of
their schemes ; and that the warmest thanks of this meeting be con-
veyed, through the Chairman, to the Great Eastern and Western
Railway Company for the valuable accommodation which the pro-
posed Worcester and Leominster Railway is calculated to afford to
the town and district of Bromyard.

Esq., and carried unanimously,
2d—That this meeting comprising as it does a large body of the
landowners and residents upon the intended line of the Worcester

PROSPECTUS.
, This line Is dpsigned to open a direct communication between the
towns of' Birmingham and Boston.
The advantages to be derived by a rich, progressing, and populeus
town, such as Birmingham, the great manufacturing centre of the
kingdom, having a direct communication with a port on the eastern
coast facing the Continent, and that port the nearest to it by geo-
graphical position, need but to be mentioned to be appreciated.
The name of Birmingham speaks for itself; the capacity and
value of Boston as a commercial port is daily increasing, and re-
quires but little enterprise to enable it to compete with some of our
best ports.
It Is proposed that this line should commence at Leicester, where
it will form a continuation of the direct line from Birmingham to
that town, and proceeding by or near Melton Mowbray,. Corby,
Folkenham, and Donnington, terminate at Boston; thus affording a
direct communication between Birmingham and its important manu-
facturing districts—Rugby, the great railway centre of England, and
Boston, their nearest seaport, which eventually must command the
traffic of the districts with which it is in connexion and the oppo
site ports of the Continent.
A glance at the map will show how this line is fed, and the towns
in its neighbourhood supplied with railway accommodation ly the in-
tersecting lines ; but in the event of the London and York line not
obtaining Its Act, it is proposed by this Company to construct a
branch to Grantham.
The country is easy, presenting few or no engineering difficulties.
Another advantage held out by this project is the improvement of
the harbour of Boston, whereby it will be restored to that eminent
position it formerly held among the ports and harbours of the
kingdom.
The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest at 4
per cent. per annum after passing the Act, on the amount of the
subscription paid up. No subscriber shall be answerable for more
than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then
not beyond the amount of his subscription.

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 au Important link of communication between the town
of Spalding and the eastern coast with the Western and Midland
districts.
Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereham,
Lynn, and Ilolbeach Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn,
Witham, Castle Bythatn, South Wytham, and Wyniondham, to a
point ou the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near Melton-
Counties Itallyr
Mowbray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mid-
landaY, 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 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 railway.
It will form, with other osOjected railways, an almost direct line
across the kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, on the east, to
Aberystvrith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the west.
The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. There is no tunnel-
ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary; the line

from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve miles, is very

Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which is
the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, arid
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, Leicester, 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 progre, and contracts have been entered into which en-

sional Committee.

In consequence of the total want of system in the selection of
railways in England, especially those emanating from the grand
centre of London, there are many wealthy and populous dis-
tricts that are totally devoid of the benefits of railway conveyance.
Such, for instance, is that between Reigate and Windsor—a country
unequalled in agricultural resources, and loaded with population, a
vast number of whom are co:anected more er less with mercantile
pursuits, and, consequently, in frequent habit or necessity of reach-
ing the metropolis, market towns, ports, and manufacturing locali-
ties. These considerations, weighty in themselves, but light in com-
parison with others, first gave rise to the present undertaking ; and
when it is considered that this line of thirty miles will be the con-
necting link of five of the largest railways in England, through
which it will be fed by incalculable numbers, totally Independent of
Its extensive local traffic, it must be evident to the most sceptical,
that it forms not only a desirable but an absolutely necessary artery
In the present system of railway communication.
There are many lines now in contemplation which will afford
additional prosperity to the Royal Grand Junction ; among which
may be named the London and Portsmouth Direct ; Epsom, Brighton,
and Arundel ; Reigate and Reading; London, Staines, and Ascot;
Direct London and Exeter, &c.

The line is i .tended to commence at the Reigate station of the
London and Brighton Railway, and passing through Reigate, Betch-
worth, and within a quarter of a mile of Dorking, will continue its
course along the picturesque vale of Afickleham, at the foot of Box-
hill and Norbury, following as near as may be the river Mole to
Leatherhead ; after which it will pass through the parishes of
Fetckam and Stoke D'Abernon, and at the back of Claremont, the
property of his Majesty the King of the Belgians ; from thence near
Esher, Walton, and Weybridge, to Chertsey, Thorpe, Egham, Ascot,
Windsor, Eton, and Slough; and terminating at the Slough station of
the Great Western Railway.

In addition to the many- sources of income to be derived from the
conveyance of passengers, merchandise, and agricultural produce on
this line, and which has been estimated at 15 per cent., it will afford
a direct and continuous railway communication for the accommoda-
tion of her Majesty and the Royal Family between Windsor, London,
Claremont, Portsmouth, and Brighton; thus approximating one with
the other her Majesty's live favourite residences, and avoiding the
present inconvenient .changes from the railway to the road, and
from one proprietary to another, it being proposed to lay down the
narrow gauge, that being adopted by four out of five of the lines this
railway is designed to connect.

It is proposed to erect royal station-houses at Windsor and Clare-
mont, for the use of her Majesty, and to make such deviations and
arrangements as shall meet the royal assent and approbation, as also
to forward the views of the Company.
It may be as well to add, that the whole country has been care-
fully selected. so that no difficulties can interfere with the completion
of the line, and the land through which it will take its course is, on
an average, considerably below the usual value of property ; and,
lastly, having obtained the sanction ofthe most influential proprietors
throughout the line, no opposition can be made or sustained against
the promoters of the undertaking, who will use use every endeavour
to obtain a Bill to incorporate the Company early in the next ses
sion.

Applications for shares may be made, In the usual form, to the so-
licitors, or to the following brokers :—Mr. Roger Mortimer, Throg-

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 Think 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- into -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 intermediute towns
of Helmsley and liirkby7Moorside, so 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 Oil 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 with 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 fall-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 be made to the solicitors of the Com-
pany (of whom prospectuses and forms of applications may be ob.
tattled), accompanied by a reference either to some member of the
Committee, one of the -solicitors, or one of- the following share-
