The first of this line is to connect the town of Birmingham,
Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route,
and to supply an 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 Holbeach Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn,
Witham, Castle Bytham, South Wytham, and Wymondham, 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-

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 tin 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
supalitarat very high rates; and, hi return traffic, the midland dis-
tricts will (Alain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and
agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Nortiak.
Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which is
the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, and
connected by the River Welland with the (lemma Ocean.
The prop,sed capital will be sufficient fur 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 progress, and contracts have been entered into which en-
sure sufficient time for compliance with the standing orders.
A Provi,ional Committee of gentlemen in now in 'course of for-
mati, al, al,l will be published, with the prospectuses and plan, on
Monday next. Mahe meantime, application for shares, in the sub-
joined farm may be addressed to the Secretary, at the ottices of the
