This project is intended to form the most direct communication
between the Important grazing country of the Lincolnshire Marshes
and the large manufacturing and consuming districts of the Midland
and Northern Counties • and to establish an immediate connexion
between the East Coast and South Welds of Lincolnshire, and the
various coal fields in Yorkshire, Derbyshire, and Staffordshire,
thereby facilitating the export of corn, wool, cattle, and other agri-
cultural produce, and the import of coal, timber, stone, slate, seeds,
oil-cake, and artificial manures.

By this line (in communication with other railways), Birmingham,
Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Wakefield, Nottingham,
Derby, Stafford, the Potteries, and other important manufacturing
towns, will be placed in direct connexion with Hamburgh, Rotter-
dam, Antwerp, and the principal seaports of the north of Europe ;
between which places and Wainfleet the voyage will be several hours
shorter than from either Hull or Grimsby.
There is a good passenger traffic generally throughout the line,
swelled by the large and numerous fairs, held at Lincoln, Horncastle,
Spilsby, Partney, Burgh, and Wainfleet (for horses, cattle, and
sheep), and by the visitors to Skegness, one of the principal watering
places on the Lincolnshire coast, the whole of which will be mate-
rially increased by railway accommodation.
The improvement of the extensive harbour of Wainfleet Haven,
and the forming there a perfect shipping station for the manufactur-
ing districts, is one of the important features in this undertaking.

This haven possesses natural roadsteads of a superior description,
offering a safe anchorage for shipping of any burthen, in 24 fleet of
water, at ebb tide, close to the shore at Gibraltar Point. Any num-
ber of ships can ride safely at anchor ; and large fleets of merchant-
men frequently resort thither for safety during the prevalence of
northerly gales, an advantage imperfectly possessed by both Hull and
Grimsby; added to which, a great saving will be effected In the Cus-
tom, dock, and harbour dues, as well as in pilotage and insurance.
No sea works of any magnitude will be required.
The length of the proposed line will be about 40 miles, and the
country does not present any engineering difficulties.

No railway in existence erin contemplation --provides accom-
modation for the district of country through which this line will
pass. Application has been made to the principal landowners on the
line, and no objection is anticipated.

A portion of the Shares will be reserved for parties locally inter-
rested, and the remainder will be allotted to persons giving un-
exceptionable references. No Shareholder will be liable beyond his
subscription.
The Subscribers' Agreement will contain powers to the Provisional
Committee to run into other railways now or hereafter to be made,
and to alter the termini of the proposed line, so that the main ob-
ject of the scheme be carried out.
Applications for shares, in the subjoined form, may be made to the
solititors and to the following sharebrokers :-11r. King, 3, Bar-
tholomew-lane, London; Messrs. Parsons and Townley, Liverpool;
Mr. Newbury, Manchester; Mr. Irouside. Sheffield ; Mr. Pollard,
Lincoln ; and Messrs. Eyre and Shaw, Derby.
