SEcarreav—George Ferrer, Esq.
The object of this line of railway is to connect, by a direct route,
the Important town and seaport of Boston with the centre of Eng-
land, by way of Grantham and Melton Mowbray, where it will join
the Syston and Peterborough branch of the Midland. Counties Railway.
It is unnecessary to enlarge upon the advantages which will arise
from this railway, which passes through one of the richest and
most fertile parts of England. The population is dense, and a
glance at the map will show that this line is well laid ont, net
only for the direct traffic from Leicester and the intermediate
places to Boston, but also for the general traffic which will be
brought to this line by the several railways which will be connected
with it.
By this railway, which will be about forty-four miles in length,
and laid through a country nearly level, it is intended to pass by or
near Swinishead, Donington, Folkingham, Grantham, Stoke, Roch-
ford, and Melton Mowbray. It is evident that this line will be o
great convenience and u; filly, by affording to a part of the country
at present deprived of it the advantage of railway commnnication
with the counties of Rutlandahire, Leicestershire, Northampton-
shire, Warwickshire, &c., and thus connecting the agricultural
districts of Lincolnshire with the manufacturing parts of England,
affording to the latter an easy and accessible means of export for

their manufactures.
In the allotment of shares, holders in the Midland Counties Rail-
way will receive a preference, and reservation will be made for the
landed interests along the line, whose concurrence and assistance is
fully relied on by the promoters, by whom most of the influential
landholders have been canvassed ; and, in order to prevent unnes-
sary trouble, no other applications will ,be received except those
n herein reference is made to a member of the Provisional Commit-
tee, to the Solicitors or Bankers, or the following Sharebrokers,
from whom prospectuses and plans may be obtained :

this Company, they decided on availing themselves of another means
of connnunication with the Middlesex, shore. They are happy to
state that their overtures for that purpose have been most favourably
received, and every facility promised ; indeed, the Committee enter-
tain no doubt that such an arrangement will very shortly be effected
as will promote the interest of all concerned, and take this oppor-
tunity of stating, also, that the allotment of shares will take place
