The source:: of traffic which this line will secure are various and
very cousl,lerable ; some of them only can be here enumerated.
They ar,4—

Starditg from Hull the, line will appropriate to itself the whole of
the tl-afil.; thence to 1h Metropolis, Bristol, Southampton, Glouces-
ter, 07.f0n1, Cheltenham, and the whole of the-Southe:n and Western
distri.;ts of the kingdom, and, in addition, it will swore the Very im-
portant and inoreaslng local traffic between Hull and Lineolu and
the intermediate towns.

In the event of tile Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not

At Kettering this line will unite with that one of the now com-

From the singularly important advantages which this undertaking
presents to the capitalist, as well as to the public at large, the Pro-
visional Directors do not think It necessary, with reference ;to the
supposecA tratlic or otherwise, to say more than that they fully be-
lieve that the return will he, upon the capital required, highly re-
munerative.

The ceun'ry is free from engineering difficulties, with one or two
exceptions only, and those are more than counterbalaneed by the very
favourable. gradients of by far the greate-: portion of the line ; indeed,
for many miles the line will run upon a water level.
The line will not interfere with any onnunental propnly.
The promoters have made every neccesnry arrangement for the
active prosecution of the undertaking, and for applying to Parlia-
ment irtthe ensuing session.

SECTLETATLY—George Farrer, Esq.
Til3 object of this line of railway- is to connect, by a direct route,
the important town awl seaport of Boston with the centre of Eng-
land, by way of Grantham and Melton hfowbrsy, where it will join
the Syston and Peterborough branch of the at idla nd Com ties Railway.
It is u mecessmy to enlarge upon the advantages which will arise
from this railway, which peseta through one of the richest said
most fertile parts of England. The population is dense, and a
glAilce at the m'p will show that this line is well laid out, net
only, for the direct traffic from Leicester and the intermediate
places to Boston, but also for the general traffic which will us
brought to this line by the several railways which will be connected
with it.

By this railway, 7..hich will be about forty-four miles in length,
and laid through a country nearly level, it is intended to pass by or
near Swineslind, Donington, Grantham, Stoke, Roch-
ford, and Melton Mowbray. It is evident that this line will be of
great convenience and 'allay, by affording to a part of the country
at present deprived of it the advantage of railway communication
with the counties cf Rutlandshire, Leicestershire, Northampton-
shire, Wanvickshire, &c., and thus connecting the agricultural
districts of Lincolnshire with the manufacturing parts of England,
affording to the latter an -easy and accessible means of export for
their manufactures.

In the allotment of shares, holders in the Midland Counties Rail-
way will receive a preference, and reservation will be made for the
landed interests along the line, whose Concurrence and assistance is
fally relied on by the promoters, by whom most of the influential
landholders have been canvassed ; and, in order to prevent urines-
sary trouble, no other applications will be rec,ived except those

tee, to the Solicitors or Bankers, or the following Sharebrokers,
