The object of 'this Company is to form a communication between
the extensive ports of Lynn and Wisbeach, and the manufacturing
Midland counties of England, by means of a direct railway from
Lynn, through Wisbeach to Peterborough, completing the line from
the Eastern coast of England to Northampton, and Lincoln and Bir-
mingham. The inhabitants of Lynn, Wisbeach, and Peterborough
will then enjoy the advantage of a cheap and direct intercommuni-
cation between their respective towns, while the important com-
mercial interests connected with the manufacturing and export
trades between the Midland Counties and the eastern parts of the
coast, will have very valuable additional facilities afforded them.
This line will not interfere with either of the proposed lines to
Wisbeach, as those lines will proceed towards London, through
Huntingdon, St. Ives, and Ely ; while this line is intended to
afford the means of direct communication with all the manufacturing
and midland districts.

It has also this pre-eminent advantage, that it runs through what
may be justly termed, the Belgic portion of England, upon the banks
of the river Nene, on a dead level.

The ports of Lynn and Wisbeach export more corn from the corn-
growing districts in the fens, than any two ports in the three
kingdoms; while the imports of coal, timber, stone, and merchandise
of every description, into the inland and midland districts, mast
prove a source of great profit to the proposed line.
A detailed prospectus, with a further list of the Provisional Com-
mittee, will be published in the course of a few days; in the interim,
applications for shares may be addressed to William Andrews, Esq.,
at the offices of the Company, 41, Moorgate-street ; or to Thomas
George Smith, Esq., 2, Warnford-court, Throgmorton-street, London
41, Moorgate-street, Sept., 17, 1845.
