The establishment of the above railway will effect two great
and important objects :—first, the supply of the metropolis and its
vicinity with coal fully twenty per cent. cheaper than by the pre-
sent mode of transit: secondly, by the exclusion of passenger
traffic, to diminish the risk of accidents, which objects can only be
attained by constructing a railway for the express purpose of carry-
ing coals and merchandise exclusively.
The expenses of the London and Birmingham Railway for 1844
(set forth in the prospectus of this Company), prove that coal
may be brought the entire distance from the Northern Col..
lieries to London at one-half the cost of coal conveyed by ship, and
yet leave a profit of ten per cent. upon a capital of 5,000,0001.
In addition to the through traffic, accommodation will be afibrded
to the intermediate districts for the conveyance of coals and goods,
which will materially increase the revenue of the Company.
It is proposed to raise the required capital in 200,000 shares of
251. each ; deposit 21. 12s. 6d. per share, the subsequent calls to be
made in the usual way.
The customary clauses will be inserted in the Act, limiting the
liability of the shareholders to the amount of their respective
shares.

Interest, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annura wilt be allowed
on au calls between the passing of the Act and the opening ot the
railway,
The Committee of Management have the satisfaction to state,
that owing to the measures that have been taken, the surveys, &c.,
are in a very forward state, and that the necessary documents will
be deposited in accordance with the standing orders of Parliament,
and application made for the Bill hi the approaching session.
Prospectuses, with fuller information and in detail, together
with Forms of Application, may be obtained on applying to the
Solicitors of the Company, Messrs. Sutton, Ewens, Ommanney, and

The Committee, with the view of enabling responsible
parties (desirous to participate in the allotment) to secure
at least some shares in this great undertaking, will permit the pay-
ment of a preliminary deposit of 10s. 6d. per share previous to ap-
plication being made ; and will gu-trantee that the parties so paying
shall have shares allotted them, to at least the number upon which
the sum paid by them as a preliminary deposit shall cover the full
deposit of 21. 12s. 6d. They, however, reserve to themselves the
right of limiting this privilege to the extent of 100 shares, If a
larger number should be applied for, or even of refusing it, in cases
where they may find on inquiry that the applicant is not in their
judgment eligible to be a shareholder; in such cases the deposit
will be immediately returned ; nor will this privilege be extended
beyond the deposition of 100,000 shares, after which the bankers
of the Company will receive instructions to refuse further prelimi •
nary deposits.
The preliminary deyeits must be paid to the bankers of the
Company, who will furnish a receipt for the same. The Corn.
mittee caution the public not to negotiate such receipts, as their
undertaking to supply the shares holds good only so far as the
applicants, upon their references being examined into, prove re-
spectable and responsible. They particularly request that each
applicant for shares who avails himself of this privilege will state,
in his application, the amount of the deposit he bas paid, and the
number of the bankers' receipt

PROSPECTUS.
This line is designed to open a direct communication between the
towns of Birmingham and Boston.
The advantages to be derived by a rich, progressing, and populous
town, such as Birmingham, the great manufacturing centre of
the kingdom, having a direct communication with a port on the
eastern coast facing the Continent, and that port the nearest to it by
geographical position, need but be mentioned to be appreciated.
he name of Birmingham speaks for itself ; the capacity and value
of Boston, as a commercial port, is daily increasing, and requires but
little enterprise to enable it to compete with some of our best ports.
It is proposed that this line should commence at Leicester, where it
will form a continuation of the line from Birmingham to that town,
and proceeding by, or near Melton Mowbray, Corby, Folkingham, and
Donnington, terminate at Boston, thus affording a direct communt
cation between Birmingham and its important manufacturing dis-
tricts, Rugby, the great railway centre of England, and Boston, their
nearest seaport, which eventually must command the traffic of the
districts with which it is in connexion, and the opposite ports of the
Continent.
A glance at the map will show how this line is fed, and the towns
in its neighbourhood supplied with railway accommodation by the
interseeting lines; but in the event of the London and York line not
obtaining its Act, it is proposed by this Company to construct a
branch to Grantham.
The country is easy, presenting few or no engineering difilcult!es.
Another advantage held out by this project is the improvement
of the harbour of Boston, whereby it will be restored to that eminent
position it formerly held among the ports and harbours of the
kingdom.
The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest at
foar per cent. per axnum, after passing the Act, on the amount of
the subscription paid up. No subscriber shall be answerable for
more than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and
then not beyond the amount of his subscription.
A more detailed prospectus will be issued in a few days, containint
the names of many influential gentlemen locally interested in the
proposed line.

posed line.
