The pert of Boston affords the readiest outlet for exports front the
manufacturing districts to the north of Europe, and the importance
of direct communication from the midland counties to a place se ad-
vantageously situate cannot be over-estimated.
Leicester has, or shortly will have, direct communication with
Birmingham, and all the other important towns in the midland
district. . _

The Midland Railway Company is extending the communication
to Melton Mowbray, by means of its branch from Syston to Peter-
borough, which passes through that place. There is also a completo
line of railway about to be established from Nottingham, through
Grantham and Pelkingham, to Boston, as well as to Spalding, Wis-
beach, Lynn, Yarmouth, and other important towns in the eastern
eount . . .

The Leicester, Melton Mowbray, and Boston Direct Union Rail-
way, by forming a line from Melton Mowbray to Folkingham, will
supply the only link wanting to complete a direct through communi-
cation from Birmingham, Warwick, Worces'er, Coventry, and the
manufacturing districts generally, to Boston, as well as by means of
existing and projected railways from Wales and the Bristol Channel,
to that seaport.
_ . . .

The lenith of the proposed line will not exceed twenty-six miles;
and as it will pass through a country very faveurs.ble for engineer-
ing purposes, the expense of construction will, it is expected, be less
than the usual average. The admirable position of this railway can-
not fail, it is confidently expected, to command a large return, both
in passengers and in goods traffic.
The Company will be in a situation to deposit the Parliamentary
plans and sections in ample time tor complying with the standing
orders, and enabling than to apply for their Act in the ensuing
session.

Potter and Collingridge, No. 5, Easinghall-street London; to the

SOLICITORS.
Mr. Wiliam Barker I New-street. Hudderstiela
Messrs. Brook and Freeman

The object of this undertaking is to forma continuous line of rail-
way from Leeds to Liverpool, by extending the lines already made,
or sanctioned by Parliament, from their respective termini at Hud-
dersfield, in Yorkshire, and Bury, for which extension a line of rail-
way only 25 miles in length is requisite. The proposed line will com-
mence at the Huddersfield station, between which place and Leeds.
Parliamext has already sanctioned the formation of railways, and
from Huddersfield the proposed line will proceed by way of Hillhouse'
Birchencliffe, and Lindley, and thence along the valley between
Stainland and (lreetland, through Bark'sland, the Yale of Ripponden,
and by Rochdale to Bury, in Lancashire, where it will join the ter-
minus of the Liverpool and Bury line of railway.
In addition to completing a direct communication from Liverpool '
to Leeds, Mull, and Goole, by the shortest practicable route, and by
a much smaller outlay of capital, than by any ether proposed line, it
will provide for a large and important manufacturing popalation,
hitherto without the advantage of railway accommodation, as outlet
to the south by means of the Huddersfield and Sheffield Junetien
Railway, and to Manchester and to North aed South Lancashire by
the railways above mentioned, and by the Leeds and Manchester
Railway, by a proposed junction therewith at Rochdale.
This line, when completed, will, is addition to the advantages
which it presents as a through line, pass through a succession of val-
leys thickly studded with mills and manufactories, consuming a
large quantity of raw materials anti coal, all of which are brought
irons a distance, and transmitting to other districts the produce ef
their industry, for which purposes a line of railway has become ab-
solutel► necessary, and there can be no doulot that as ample return
will be realised for the outlay of capital required.
The distance between Huddersfield and Rochdale by the present
line of railway is thirty miles, which by the proposed railway will be
reduced to seventeen miles.
The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the right of enter-
ing into any arrangements with existing railway companies that may
appear desirable. And power will be taken by the Act of Parliament
to allow interest to the shareholders at the rate of 41. per cent. per
annum on the amounts paid oq their shares front tke respective times
of payment to tke times ef opening the railway.
Applications for shares may be addressed, in the subjoined firm, to
any of the undermentioned Sharebrokers, viz.—Messrs. Hill, Fawcett
and Hill, Threadneedle-street, London; Mr. David Kinnear, Edits-
! burgh ; Messrs. W. Moore and Co., Messrs. J. Gatliff and Co.,
Messrs. Wilson and Hellawell, Mr. Thomas Parratt, Mr. Frederick

mittee will be published iu a few days.
