The entire distance of these lines from Camberwell will be about
ninety miles, and is free from engineering difficulties. The charac-
ter of the country through which the railway will pass is peculiarly
favourable; and from the report of the engineer, made on his preli-
minary survey, they will be constructed within the sum proposed.
It is lute ded to construct this railway on the atmospheric prin-
ciple, both on account of the facility which that method a&,rds for
stopping at short distances to accommodate the highly respectable
suburban population, to avoid the possibility of collision, and also
the bringing of locomotive engines into London.
Powers for allowance of interest at 4/. per cent. on the paid up
capital will be taken, and the liability of shareholders limited to the
amount of their subscriptions.
_

Power will also be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime
will be given to the directors, to alter or vary the proposed capital,
either before or after the allotment, in order to construct branch
lines, to Seven Oaks, to Dulwich and Norwood, and to the South-
Western Railway, thereby accomplishing the much-desired objeet
of giving that Company a City terminus.
Applications for prospectuses and shares may be made to the

SECRETARY —Thomas Philbrick, Esq.

This line is intended to commence at Louth, and to proceed, by way
of Market Rasen, to the town and port of Gainsborough. in the
county of Lincoln; and is projected for the purpose of completing a
direct communication with the towns of Rotherham, Sheffield, Man-
chester, and Liverpool, and thus affording to the rich grazing and
agricultural divisions of the county a ready access to those towns,
which have always been the natural markets for the produce of the
district ; and at the same time to provide a certain and speedy
transit for manufactured goods and other articles of merchandise.
I he communication by railway between these important towns has
not, by existing arrangements, been provided for, except by very
circuitous routes ; indeed, that part of the line from Market Resell to
Gainsborough has been entirely overlooked ; and therefore the pre-
Sent oue has been proposed to meet the wants of the district on the
strong representations and request of a large and respectable body
of gentry deeply interested in the success of the scheme.

is useless to dwell in the present day upon the advantages of
railway communication, as those towns which do sot avail them-
selves of the facilities afforded must eventually sink in importance.
To Louth and the surrounding neighbourhood especially the pro-
posed line cannot fail to be of paramount importance, as opening, in-
dependently of passengers' traffic, a directmeans of transit for cattle,
corn, goods, &c., &c., to and from all the great Yorkshire, Lancashire,
and other important markets.
An examination of the map will at once show this, and also the
connexion of the proposed line with ether important railways both
in Lincolnshire, the adjacent counties, and all parts of the kingdom.
To those acquainted with the town of Louth and its neighbour-
hood, it is unnecessary to point out the immense exportation of
cattle, corn, wool, &c., to the Yorkshire markets, or the large im-
portation of Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield, and other goods into
the district, and the facilities the proposed line will afford for a
plentiful supply of coals at a much cheaper rate than they can be
procured by any other route. The Committee confidently relying,
therefore, upon the testimony of the highly-respectable parties en-
gaged in commerce and agriculture who honour the present Com-
pany with support, have pleasure in announcing that the traffic re-
turns will be of a highly satisfactory character.
It is no slight advantage in this scheme, that it cannot be said to
interfere with existing railways. The main feature is the improve-
ment of communication between important towns by the old na-
tural roads, and thus affording facilities to the agricultural and com-
ercial interests, and to the public generally, in and through a dis-
trict where a railway is essentially necessary for its ultimate and
lasting prosperity.
A careful survey of the line has been made, and the engineer's
report is of a very favourable character. He states that "the line
is a very good ono ; it will pass for the most part along the surface
of the ground, it does not cross any main road, nor any ornamental
property, or interfere with the mansions of the landowners; the
soil is of a favourable character throughout, and no engineering dif-
ficulties occur at any point."
No subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of his deposit
until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his sub-
scription ; and power will be applied for in the Act of Parliament to
r IQ
allow interest at the rate of 4/. per cent. per annum on all calls until
the opening of the line. In the allotment of shares, preference will be
given to landowners and parties locally interested; but no applica-
tion can be attended to unless accompanied with a satisfactory re-
ference.
Further information may be obtained at the Company's Offices,
Upgate, Louth ; and applications for shares, in the an exed
form, may be addressed to the Solicitors, to the Secre-
tary, and to the following Stock and Sharebrokers :

'1 he promoters feel considerable satisfaction in announcing a source
of revenue from this project never yet contemplated by any other
Company, viz., the construction under the line to Camberwell of
dwellings or tenements, forming one continued street, thereby im-
proving the locality through which it runs; from this an immer.se
income will be derived.
