PROSPECTUS.

This line is designed to opon a direct communication between the
towns of Birtninghtun and Boston.

The advantages to be derived by a rich, progressing, and popelrus
town, such as Birmingham, the great manufacturing centre of his
kingdom, having a direct communication with a port on the eastern
coast facing the Coutinent, and that port the nearest to It by goo.
graphical position, need but to be mentioned to be appreciated.
The name of Birmingham speaks for itself; the capacity and
value of Boston as a commercial port is daily increasing, vid re-
quires but little enterprise to enable it to compete with some of our
best ports. •

is proposed that th!s line should commence at Leicester, yeller°

it will fonn a centinuation of the direct line from Birmingham to
that town, and proceeding by or near Melton Mowbray, Corby,
Folkenham, and Donnington, terminate at Boston ; thus affording a
direct communication between Birmingham and its important manu-
facturing districts—Rugby, the great railway centre of England, and
Boston, their nearest seaport, which eventually must command the
traffic of the districts with which it is in connexion and the oppo
site ports of the Continent.
A glance at the map will show how this line is fed, and the towns
in its neighbourhood supplied with railway accommodation by tha in-
tersecting lines ; but in the event of the London gnd York line not
obtaining its Act, it is proposed by this Company to construct
branch to Grantham.

_
The country is easy, presenting few or no engineering difficulties.
Another advantage held out by this project is the improvement of
the harbour of Boston, whereby it will be restored to that eminwit
position it formerly held among the ports and harbours of t:e
kingdom.
The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest at I
per cent. per annum after passing the Act, pn the amount of rile
subscription paid up. No subscriber shall be answerable tbr moire
than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then
not beyond the amount of his subscription.

A more detailed Prospectus will be issued in a few days, contain' 'az
the names of many influential Gentlemen locally interested in the
proposed line.
Applications for shares and prospectuses,to be made to the solicitors
