This line is projected by the Norfolk Railway Company and the
Grand ,Union Railway Company, and it will form a connecting link
between those two lines.

Leaving the station of the Norfolk Company at Brandon, the line
proceeds via Downham Market to Wishech, and from thence to Spald-
ing, being a distance of about 40 miles. At the latter town it joins
the Grand Union Railway, which continues via Grantham to Not-
tingham, thus completing a direct and independent line of communi-
cation between Yarmouth and Norwich, and Nottingham and the
manufacturing districts.

The distance between the termini will be as short by the proposed
route as by the Lynn and Ely and Lynn and Dereham lines; whilst
the traffic between Nottingham, Yarmouth, and Norwich, and the
central, west, and south parts of Norfolk, the north of Cambridge-
shire, and the counties of Suffolk and Essex, being under the control
of friendly Companies, will be secured for this undertaking.
Estimates for the traffic are in course of preparation. In the mean-
time it may be stated that, from the data already furnished respecting
some of the important localities through which the line passes, added
to the fact that it forms part of a direct course of railway communi-
cation between Manchester and the surrounding manufacturing dis-
tricts, and the ports of Yarmouth and Lynn, there is no doubt an
ample remuneration will be secured for the shareholders.
Satisfactory arrangements have been made with the Eastern
Counties Railway Company in reference to that portion of the line
between Wisbech and Spalding, which has been agreed to be leased
by them from the Wisbech and St. Ives Company.
If the Wisbech and St. Ives Company succeed in their application
to Parliament, the line to be made by this Company will be limited
to that part between Wisbech and Brandon ; and in either case the
two Companies promoting this line have agreed to take a lease of it at
a rental equal to 4 per cent. on the outlay, and a moiety of the sur-
plus profits.
In the allotment of shares preference will be given to the share-
holders of the Norfolk and Grand Union Railway Companies.
Applications to be addressed to Richard Till, Esq., Norfolk Rail-
way Company, Guildhall-buildings ; or to Alfred Beeston, Esq.,

This line will diverge from the line of the Great Eastern and
Western Railway, near Worcester, and proceeding by Brom-
yard, will end at Leominster, at which point it will unite with the
proposed lines connecting Hereford and Shrewsbury with North
Wales.
The communication by railway between these important towns
and the continuous hop and cider districts has been entirely left
unprovided for by existing arrangements. and this line is brought
forward under the auspices of the Great Eastern and Western
Railway Company, on the strong representations and request of a
large and most influential body of the landed gentry of the neigh-
bourhood.
The object proposed is to make a direct communication between
Leominster, Bromyard, and Worcester, which latter tows has always
been the natural market for the produce of these districts, and to af-
ford the inhabitants the most direct communication with London, as
compared with other lines, by upwards of 30 miles.
No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the act is ob-
tained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at 41. per cent.
on all calls from the time of their respective payments, as well as to
limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscrip-
tions.
