This undertaking is projected by influential local interests to supply
the reeelrements of the above important district; and a reference to
the map will show that it will also complete the communication be-
tween York, Leeds, and the intermediate towns in the most direct
course with London. The surveys have been made by Sir John Mac-
neill and James Thompson, Esq., and the country is found to be fa•
vourable to the construction of a railway ; and there is, perhaps, no
line of such importance which could be constructed at comparatively
so small an expense as the sum named in the estimate.
The length of the line will be brit about thirty-nine miles ; and by
means of this short link, in connexion with existing projects from
Nottingham, a saving will be effected between Leeds and the metro-
polis exceeding twenty-five miles.
It will commence at the projected terminus of the Wakefield, Pon-
tefract, aad Goole Pailway, at Pontefract, and from thence proceed

value of the lines in the district, in that respect, is a suraelent test of
its extent, in addition towhich, the railway will become the recipient
Of much of the northern traffic, arising from the numerous branches
with whieh it is connected, and must also become the Grand Trunk
Line to London from the Western part of Yorkshire.
By the Subs ffibers' Agreement, authority will be given to the Di-

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 •f 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 he as short by the proposed
route as by the Lynn and Ely and Lynn and Dereham lines; whilst
the trafric 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
of friendly 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 loco ities through which the line passes, added
to the fact that it forms part of a direct coarse of railway communi-
estion 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-
ho!ders of the Norfolk sad Grand Union Railway Companies.
Applications to be addressed to Richard Till, Esq., Norfolk Rail-
way Company, Guildhall-buildings ; or to Alfred Beeston, Esq.,

PROSrECTIJS

The object of this Company is to establish the most direct railway
communication between Birmingham and Boston. It will commence
at Leicester, accommodating, at the same time, the important towns
of Stamford and Peterborough, in conjunction with the projected line
from Birmingham to Leicester, will proceed thence in a direct line
through Melton Mowbray, Edenhaen, Corby, Folkenham, Donningten,
and Swinesheacl, to Boston, sa as to form one grand chain to the whole
of the manufacturing districts.
At Boston it will join the projected line to Great Grimsby, thus
opening out the extensive advantages of a direct communication with
Hull, Leeds, Manchester, and otlr r important districts connected
with the railways in that locality.
At Edenham it will cross the London and York lint, or the Cam-
bridge and Lincoln at Folkenham, thus affording the inhabitants of
Leicester and its neighbourhood the readiest communication to York
and the north, and bringing Boston and its vicinity on the London
and York Junction at Edenham, in the shortest direct communica-
tion with the latter capital.
The distance from Leicester to Boston is 63 miles, and from Lei-
cester to Birmingham 41 miles—making a total of 104 miles. The
route of line now proposed is from Leicester to Boston, a distance of
42 miles, and from Leicester to Birmingham, 20 miles—making a
total of 62 miles, effecting a saving of 42 miles. By this project, the
merchandise of Birmingham, Coventry, and Leicester will be con-
veyed to Boston in one hour and thirty minutes ; and thus the im-
portant shipping interests fr,an Boston to hassle, Petersburgh, Nor-
way, and Denmark-, and the whole of the Baltic, will be immensely
benefited. _ .

Boston is the nearest port to Birmingham, and it may be justly
stated, is yet in its infancy as regards its great commercial resources
and facilities. _ . .

The statistical accounts of the Customs at Boston show a most
extensive increase of imports from all the northern ports of Europe,
viz., timber, deals, fir, llax, and tallow.
Ts the shipping interests of Boston and the manufacturing dis-
tricts before mentioned, the facilities afforded by this line will be ol
the greatest importance, and the benefits arising from such an inter-
courso will be Incalculable.

The supporters of this great enterpriAs confidently assert that this

undertaking is one replete with every facility and advantage to the
counties and districts before named ; and as a channel for the safe
investment of capital, it may confidently challenge competition with
any other line yet projected.
The Directors feel confident that an undertaking embracing so
many advantages will meet with the support of all those locally in-
terested ; and they have great Veasure in being enabled to announce
that the encouragement and support already received, and from par-
_ _

ties who, fro•x a local knowledge of the country, are best able to
form a sound judgment of the result of the proposed line, inspire
them with the fullest confidence in their application to Parliament in
the ensuing session.

The Directors are assured by persons acquainted with the country
[at there are no engineering i.iflieulties to encounter, and that the

line will not interfWe with any ornamental or desirable property.
The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest of four
per cent. per annum, after passing the Act, on the amount of the
subscription paid up ; and that no subscriber shall be answeraLle for
more than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and
then not beyond the amount of his subscription.
In the allotment of shares a preference will be given to those

locally interested.
The survey of the line is in active progress, and will be completed
for the ensuing session. . . .

Prospectuses and forms of application may be had at the offices of
the Company, No. IS, Skinner-street, Snow-hill; of the Solicitors, anti
of the following stock and sharebrokers, and local agents, to all of
whom application may be made, accompanied by a reference to a
