The object of this line of railway is to connect, by a direct route,
the important town and seaport of Boston with the centre of Eng-
land, by way o: Grantham and Melton Mowbray, where It will join
e Syston and Peterborough branch of the Midland Counties Railway.
By this railway, which will he s; ant
tft is intended
ortyi;our nlilteo p
s in
slebnygtohr,
and laid through a country nearly level,
near Swintshead, Donington, Fulkiugham.Grantham, Stoke, Roch-
ford, and Melton Mowbray. Ifni ev
ident
thantt this line will be of
great convenience and Wilily, affording. o part of the country
at present deprived of it the advantage of railway communication
with the counties of Rutiandshire, Leicestershire, Northampton-
shire. Warwickshire, &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.
It is unnecessary to enlarge upon the advantages which will arise
ffom this railway, which passes through one of the richest and
most fertile parts of England. The population is dense, and a
glance at the map will show that this line is well laid out, not
only for the direct traffic from Leicester and the intermediate
places to Boston, but also for the general traffic which will ne
brought to this line by the several railways which will he connected
with it.

This line (which will be constructed on the atmospheric principle,
without a tunnel, or the possibility of collisions), is intended t. c4m-
mence in the Borough, near London-bridge, taking a direct sour,: to
Camberwell, where it will divide, and- take the following routes,
viz.:—The Kent branch, through ate populous parishes of Peckham,
Peckham Rye, Lewisham, Bromley, Orpington,Chelsfield, Shoreham,
• Mimi; Relapsing, Seal, Wrotham, Town Malting, East Alabiag,
Ditton to Maidstone; the Surrey and Su-sex, branch, through II! ix-

stead, Asharst, Enfield, Wis,ton, Steyning, Bratuher, Lancing, Sol tp.
Broadwatcr, and on to Worthing.
It is also intended that power be applied for in the Act of Parla-
ment to construct branch lines from Wrothant to Seveiroaks,
Peckham-rye to Dulwich and Norwood, and from Clapham 14, he
South-Western Railway, thereby accomplishing the. most desired b-
jeet of giving that company a City terminus.
It is satisfactory to find, from strict calculations, that the pas,.-n-
-ger traffic alone arising from the densely-popnlated parishes through
which this line will pass (hitherto -unsupplied by railway) will gave
this a decided advantage over all other projects, and secure a pr. M-
aisie return. The names of a most influential and powerful a m-
mittec, together with the plans and pmrspect uses, suturing fully ate
detail, will be pulkshed in a few days. In the meantime, applca-
