will be entirey obviated, and manufacturers and merchantsin most
parts of the country, west and north, or south, will be thus en-.
ablcd to for ward and receivegoods direct frt.m and to Dover and
Folkstone, avoiding the present inconvenient mode and expense of
transference from railway to railway across London.
Any attempt to distinguish the number of passengers proceed-
ing to or from London, or the provinces apd the continent by the
South Eastern and Dover Railway, would be abortive; but the
published statements of that Company show that the tratlic ex.
coeds 8,0001. weekly, and the accounts of arrivals at , and departures
from Calais, Boulogne, and Ostend, exhibit an astonishing number
of persons as passengers to and from England weekly, by Dover
and Folken tone, throughout the whole of the y ear. Yielding to
the metropolis- one.half of the number a, a large proportion, the
remaining half wit belong to the provinces and Ireland, who will
probably prefer to be conveyed from or to their localities without
the annoyance of being compelled to pass through London, es-
pecially as the saving of distance alone will considerably diminish
cape nses.
The construction of this line of railway can hardly fail to meet
the full approvol of the Government ; as, besides its great com-
mercial utility, the convenience it will afford fir the speedy Iran.
sport of troops from Ireland, or the north, south, or west of Eng-
land to Dover, in a direct manner, avoiding the present necessity of
marching them across London or ether towns, after they are once
placed in railway carr4s, must begreatly appreciated ; and where
it is expedient that expedition and secrecy should be observed in
the removal of troops, the means offered by this Company will
greatly assist the authorities in facilitating their objects.
The railways already constructed or projected with which this
line of railway will effect a union or communication, and recipro-
cate, advantages exceed fifty in number (as will be seen by examin-
ing any railway mop), and all of them must be in direct commu-
nication with, and will feed, or be fed by The Southern Counties
Union, and Bristol, Bath, and Dover Direct Railway ; the most
important junctions being those leading to this line from the north
and the manufacturing districts by Oxford to Dover and Brighton,
those from Ireland, North Wales by Cheltenham or Oxford and
this railway to Dover or Brighton, and those from the south and
west of Etiglanri by Salisbury to Dover ; thus effecting a con-
tinuance and direct intercourse with nearly every part of Eng-
land, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and the continent.
The census returns show that this railway will pass through a
country containing a population of upwards of one million, and this
number, though large, may be fairly multiplied several times, if all
the other parts of the kingdom which wilt benefit by it be con.

sidered.
With these facts before them, the promoters have not deemed it
necessary to put forth estimator of traffic; the soundness of the
project being guaranteed by the truths already given in this brief
exposition, and the great objects intended to be compassed by this
Company.

by Tray of Kettering, Uppingham, Oal,hatn, GrLinhant, on to Lin-
coln, with two extensions front that city—one to the port of Gains-
borough, and the other to Market Raison and the rising and hn-
portant port of Great Grimsby.
(Provisionally Registered.) .

and from Warwick, the Ene will proceed in a direct course to the
market town of Kettering, by which place all the companies com-
peting for the line of railway between London and Manchcr ter pro-
pose to pass. It will then proceed, also, in a direct course to the
market towns of Uppincham, Oakham, and Grantham, to Lincoln.
The country lying between the towns of Northainpten and Gran-
tham 13 wholly without existing or even proposed railway accommo-
dation, not only to the south, but I.so to the north.
At Lincoln the line will fork, and proceed on the one hand in a
northerly direction to the fioutkhing pert of Gainshorough, and on
the other by a north-eastern course to the market town of Market
Ilaisen, on the rising port of Great Orittsby.
By an union with the Sheffield and Great Grim-shy Junction Rail-
way at Market Rotten, a d rect and-uninterrupted chain of commu-
nication will be established between all the above-mentioned district:
and the town and port of Hull.
The sources of traffic which this line will secure are var:ous and
very considerable ; some of them only can be here enumerated,
viz.:—
Starting from Great Grimsby the line will appropriate to itself the
whole of the traffic thence to the metropolis, and also the southern
and western districts of the country,' and, in additon, it will secure
the important and increasing local traffic between that town and
Market Raison and Lincoln.
From Gainshorough, the terininl of several ralways from the
north and north-west, this line will carry the traffic to Lincoln, its
county town.
The traffic from Hull to the metropolis, and also to the west, will
enter upon this line at Market Raison, and proceed thereon to
Lincoln.
From Lincoln the whole of the traffic passing to the west and the
intermediate towns must pass over this line.
In the event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not
obtain'ng the'r Bill, then the trnffic from Lincoln to the south and
west, and also the metropolis, will pass along this line of railway ;
the former the whole distance, and 111 e latter at any event to Gran-
tham, a distance of about twenty-five miles ; and should the London
and York Company not succeed, such traffic will proceed on to Ket-
tering or Northampton.
The cull. c district between Grantham and Kettering, a distance of
more than forty miles, and including the market towns of Oakham
and Uppingham, is without railway or water-carriage accommoda-
tion, and the whole of its traffic therefore will travel over this line of
railway, which will be in the direct course not only to the west but

The proposed railway will commence at Rugby, on the London
and Birmingham Railway, the terminus of the Midland Counties
and Trent Valley Railways, and the point to which several other
projected ralways converge, and will proceed through or near to
Leamington, Warwick, Stratford-on-Avol, Evesham, Tcwkeshury,
and Chelten' am, to Gloucester. The length of the line will b,
about 56 miles.
The advantages that will result from the construction of this line
are numerous and highly important, and such as cannot fail to secure
a very large amount of local and through traffic, and a highly-re-
munerative return upon the capital invested. By means of existing
and proposed railways, it will form a complete chain of railway com-
munication between the whole of the m:dland and north-eastern
counties ofEngland, the populous cities and towns before-named, and
the southern and western districts, and limo bring Leicer.ler, Not-
tingham, Newark, Lincoln, Gainstorough, Great Grimsby, and Ilull,
into direct communication with the favourite and fashionable spas of
Leamington and Cheltenham, the richly-productive and far-famed
Vale of Evesham, and the seaports of Gloucester, Bristol, Plymouth,
and Falmouth, and those of South Wales.
The inhabitants and visitors of the much-frequented watering-
places of Leamington and Cheltenham, will thus obtain a direct line
between those resorts, instead of the present circuitous route through
Birmingham, affording that facility of intercommunication which
has long been ardently desired ; and it will also afford the utmost fa-
cility of access to the Innumerable visitors who, attracted as well by
the beauty of the scenery as the memory of Shakspearo, annually
resort to Stratford-on-Avon.
To those passengers from the east and north-east, direct to Glou-
Gloucester, the line front Tewkesbury, cutting off the angle of the
Birmingham and Gloucester Railway to Cheltenham, will afford a
great accommodation, and a saving in distance of at least eight miles,
besides the delay of the stoppage at Cheltenham.
At Tewkesbury it will also form a junction with the proposed line
from that place to Malvern, affording the most direct communication
to the numerous visitors to the magnificent scentry and invigorating
atmcsphere of the celebrated Malvern-hills.
To the inhabitants of the ancient and populous borough of Tewkes•
bury, this portion of the proposed line will prove immensely advan-
tageous ; situated within ten miles of the important city and port of
Gloucester, they have nevertheless to travel by the present railway
route nearly twice that distance, an Inconvenience which has
already materially affected the trade, and prejudiced the interests of
the town. The proposed line, running close to the town, will remove
this great 'neon eniance, and restore its trade to its former state of

prosperity.
Mae value of this line to the city and port of Gloucester cannot
be too highly estimated, as it will not only open to It immense
sources of traffic front the whole of the eastern and north-eastern
counties, but will very materially lessen the distance between it
and Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire, making
Gloucester still more securely the nearest and most accessible outlet
for the whole of that hmnensely productive manufacturing region ,
and it is impossible to conceive any project better calculated to
advance the interests of Gloucester, than one capable of effecting
that object.
This line will also form an important juncCon between the London
and Birmingham :and Midlamis Railways, and the Bristol and
Gloucester Railway, and constitute the highway for the traffic of the
former, and of all the north-eastern railways. to the proposed Man-
chester and Southampton Railway at Cheltenham; and the through
traffic from the latter source alone is expected to be very great;
It will thus have the effect of connecting the ports of the eastern
and north-eastern with those of the western and southern coasts ;
of affording the most direct and convenient access from the north
and e.•.st to the vast mineral regions of South Wales, and of opening
new markets for the rich products of the fertile valleys of the Avon
and Severs, and the op lcultural districts of Warwickshire and Wor •
ccstershire, in the manufacturing towns and ports of the north.
The line will be easy of construction, traversing, as it does, through
nearly its whole length, the valleys of the Avon and Severn. The
towns through which it will run are very populous, and the country
of the richest description ; and the local traffic will consequently he
very great in addition to the through traffic, which on such a line
must necessarily be very extensive.
The ProvisionalCollmittee reserve to themselves the pcwer to
amalgamate with any other company as to the whole or say part of
the line, and to vary or extend the line, and to Increase or diminish
the capital accordingly, if deemed expedient.
The capital proposed to be raised is 1,000,0001., is shares of 201.,
upon which a deposit of 21. 2s. per s:lare must be paid upon allot-

ment.
The liability of the subscribers will be limited by the Act to the
amount of their respective subscriptions to the capital stock, and
power will be applied for in the Act t• allow interest at the rate of
4/. per ccnt.per annum on the amount of the deposit, and upon the re-
spective calls, from the date of each pument until the opening of the
line.
The Subscribers' Agreement and the Parliamentary Contract will
be required to be duly executed when the bankers' receipts are ex-
changed for certificates of scrip, of which due notice will be given ;
and the deposits paid by persons making default in due execution of
the Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract within the
time to be limited by such notice, will be absolutely forfeited.
Forms of application for shares, prospectuses, and a map of the
line, may be obtained from the Solicitors, or the Secretary, at the
Offices of the Company, 28, Essex-street, Strand, London, or Mira
any of the undermentioned Sharebrokers; but no application will be
attended to unless accompanied by a reference to one of the Prov -
sional Committee, the Solicitors, or a Banker.
