The port of Boston affords the readiest outlet for exports from the
manufacturing districts to the north of Europe, and the importance
of direct communication from the midland counties to a place so 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. Tkere is also a complete
line of railway about to be established from Nottingham, through
Grantham and Folkingham, to Boston, as well as to Spalding, Wis-
beach, Lynn, Yarmouth, and other important towns in the eastern
counties.

The Leicester, Melton Mowbray, and Boston Direct Union Rail-
way, by forming a line from Melton Mowbray to Folkingham, will
supply the only liuk wanting to complete a direct through communi-
cation from Birmingham, Warwick, Worcerer, 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 len4 h of the proposed line will not exceed twenty-six miles
and as it will pass through a country very favourable for engineer-
ing purposes, the exsense or 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 goads traffic.
The Co npany will be in a situation to de2oslt the Parliamentary
plans and sections in ample time for co playing with the standing
ovders, and enabling them to apply for their Act in the ensuing
session.
