This railway will connect the east and west coasts, and form a
direct route from the ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood-on-Wyre, sad
Lancaster, to Newcastle-upon-Tyae. Commencing at Lancaster, it
will proceed up the valley of the Lune, by Kirkby Lonsdale, Sedbergk,
ani Kirkby Stephen, aid thence by the moat practicable Ha, to New-
castle. It will run nearly parallel with the eld coach road, whick
has hitherto bee' the principal passenger route from Lancaster I.
Newcastle.

It will readily be conceded that great benefits will flow from a
direct railway communication between the coal-flelde aid mining
districts of Durham aid Northumberland, and the important towns
and ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood, Newcastle, sad Lancaster.
The entire length of the lino is rich in mineral predictions—coal,
elate, limestone, marble, and other elements of a great local trafile
abound, and cannot fail to make this one of the most remunerative
projects of the day. • considerable saving of distance between the
important towns on the termini is effected over any existing or pro-
Jotted scheme.

It will be reserved to the Committee of Management to make suck
alterations in the line, or the amount of capital required, or other-
wise, as may be deemed most advantageous to the Interests L ithe
Company. Power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate
of four per cent. on the calls from the passing of the Act to the
opening of the line, as well as to limit the liability of the shareholders

. _
to the amount of their subscriptions only.

The first object of this line is to connect the town of lirminghtua
Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route
and to supply as important link of communication between the tow'
of Spalding aid the eastern coast, and the western aid midland
districts.
Commencing at the Spalding 'tallest of the Norwich, Derehasa,
Lynn, and Holbeach Railways, the lice will proceed by Roars,
Witham, Castle Bytkara, South Wythani, and Wymendham, to a
point on the Syston and Peterbereagh line of railway near Melton-
Mowbray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mid-
land Counties Railway, an almost direct route to Leicester, and
thence to Coventry and leirminghtua by the prepesed Ceveatry,
Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway.
The projected line will form the most direct cowarealieation be-
tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, and will, by
means of the proposed lines acmes the county of Leicester, via Bur-
ton-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincoln, Norfolk.
Sbrepshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by many miles
than any other line of railway.
It will form, with other projected railways, an almost direct line
across the kingdom, from Yarmoath, via Norwich, on the east, to
Aberystwith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the west.
The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. There is notsinel-
ling, cutting, or embanking of amy importance necessary; the line
from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve miles, 131 very
level, and may be constructed at a small coat.
It will secure the advantages of railway commanicatlea to a tract
of cortatry at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open-
ing out sources of trade undeveloped for want of the means of transit.
The central midland districts have felt greatly the want of direct
communication with the coast ; and this line will at once supply the
deficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leiceetershire.
It will afford a transit for the Staffordshire, Derbyshirt, and Lei-
cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent apoa
supply from the north at high prices : it will also secure the advan-
tages of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershire works,
to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, which are at present only
supplied at very high rates; and, in retire traffic, the midland dis-
tricts will obtain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and
agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk.
Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which is
the nearest point ox the eastern coast for the midland counties, and
connected by the River Welland with the German Ocean.
The proposed capital will be sufficient for the constractiox of the
necessary works and every subsequent expense ; and the income.
derivable from the traffic in passengers between Birmingham, Co-
ventry, Leicester, Derby, Melton, Spstlding, and Boston, the trans-
port of corn, cattle, and other prodeice of the great agricultural
districts through which the line pats! n to the principal consuming
districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland
districts, will be sufficiently ample to -warrant the outlay.
The Parliamentary surveys have been commenced, and are now
in active progress, and contracts have been entered into which en-
sure sufficient time for compliance -a ith the Standing orders.
Forms of application for shares, plans, and prospectuses may be
had of the Solicitors ; also at the c tikes of the Company, 4, Tra

It was resolved to reduce the capital of this Company to 280,0001.,

PROSPECTUS.
The object which the promoters of this Company are desirous of
attairing is the establishment of a direct railway communication be-
tw- en the important towns of Harwich, via Colchester and Cam-
bridge ; and they have most carefully selected that Use which, by the
report of the engineers, appears to be the best calculated to benefit
the public, by its direct nature, and by its encroaching as little as
possible on valuable and ornamental property. The line is intended
to commence at the Hythe of Colchester, and extend to the terminus
of the line projected by Mr. Locke from Harwich to Colchester—from
thence the line will be continued through the important and populous
towns of Fordham, Wake's Colne, Earl's Colne, Halstead, Sible Boding-
ham, Castle Hedingham, Great Yeldham, Ridgewell,Sturmer, Haver-
hill, Great and Little Abington, and Linton, and will effect a junction
with the Nerth-Eltstern Railway at a point a little below Shelford,
and terminate at Cambridge.
The total length of the line will be 37 miles, and the promoters
have great pleasure in stating that the country offers great facilities
for the formation of a railway, and that there are no engineering
difficulties. The land is of a rich nature, and the neighbouring
country abounds w :th antiquities and beautiful scenery.
In offerint this project to nubile notice, the promoters feel them-
selves called upon to explain their reasons for introducing a scheme
which may be considered as competing with a line already adver-
tised from Harwich to Cambridge, and they feel satisfied that after a
perusal of the facts which have induced them to pursue this course,
it will be admitted that the advantages offered by the present pro-
ject are superior in every respect to those of any other line.
The Commissioners on Harbours of Re.age have determined on
improving the port and harbour of Harwich, and, as in severe
weather this is tke only port on this coast for which vessels can
make, it becomes of importance that a speedy commanication with
London should be opened. During the last winter the mails from
Holland and other countries were landed here in order to avoid the
delay and danger attendant on a prolongation of the voyage up the
Thames. The line projected by Mr. Locke from Harwich to Col-
chester there is no doubt will be carried, and by the proposed con-
tinuation of that line from Colchester to Shelford, and thence by
the 'North-Eastern Railway to Cambridge, a saving in distance of
18 miles over any other projected line is ebtained,—and come•
quently no necessity exists for the obstruction to, or deterioration
of, ornamental property along so many miles of road, the
most vilaable portion of the line; and this railway also passes
through towns better suited for railway communication, and through
a country with a less undulating surface. It Is also confidently be-
lieved, that by the construction of the branch line to the hythe or
port of Colchester, the aid of the Commissioners of that port win be
obtained, as great traffic exists between the port and the town of
Halstead, and thereby the profits of the Commissioners will be greatly
increased. The traffic from the tables, which have been most care-
fully prepared, and with moderation, appears to warrant a return of
at least 3 per cent. on the capital, without taking into consideration
the important additions which must result from the contemplated
improvement in the port and harbour of Ham ,vich, by which there
can be little doubt the number of passengers ,rom and to the Con-
tinent will be enormous, for by this line a saving of time will be
effected to the following extent : .
The journey from London to Rotterdam will be performed in 12
hours, from London to Antwerp in 14 hours, and from London to
Hamhurgh in 25 hours. The traffic in merchandise of all descrip-
tions will be greatly increased from the accommodation which will be
afforded by the improved port to vessels of every tonnage, in all
weathers, and at all times of the tide.
There is one point, however, to which the Committee beg most
particularly to invite the attention of the public and the commercial
world, which is, that not only will rapid railway communication be
opened with Bury St. Edmunds, Norwich, Yarmouth, and the metro-
polis, but a direct line of railway will be constructed between the
two coasts of England—the valuable commercial and continental
port of Harwich, ie the east, and the manufacturing and densely-
populated district of Liverpool and Manchester, in the north ; and it
is impossible to calculate the advantages which must result to share-
-1 holders in this important project.
The public will perceive, therefore, that the benefits to be derived
from this line over any other must be these :-
1. A more direct.
2. A. saving of 18 miles.
3. A less expensive outlay.
4. Less opposition (if any at all) from landowners.
The Committee beg to state that the necessary forms will be ob-
served, and the documents prepared to enable them to offer the pro-
ject to Parliament in a complete form in the ensuing session ; and
they hope, from the favourable opinkni which many noblemen and
gentlemen upon the route entertain of the superior advantages of
this project, with their offers of support, that other gentlemen locally
interested will be inclined to aid in carrying out a scheme which has
been prepared with the unmet care and attention to the interests of
the landed proprietors and the public geuerally.
The local population alone which will be benefited by the measure
is upwards of 70,000.
Tile Committee reserve the power of adopting such principle of
railway traction as may be found beat calculated to attain the greatest
speed with economy and the public safety.
No calls will be made beyond the deposit until the Act be obtained,
and power will be taken in the Act to allow the usual interest upon
all calls.
The sources from which the traffic will be derived are :-
1. From passengers proceeding front the midland and northern
counties, viz., Harwich, to tile Continent and various parts of the
world, and item foreign passengers.
2. From local passengers between the termini.
3. From the carriage of the mails, merchandise, luggage, &c.
4. From the carriage of fish, which will be considerable.
5. From the agricultural produce and merchandise between the
important districts and populous towns on the line of road.
Applications for shares may be made to the solicitors, at the tem-
porary offices of the Company, 66, Aldermanbury, and 12, North-

Wrotham, near Addington, Town Mailing, East Malting', and DR,-
ton, from thence to Maidstone, where it will form a junction with
the Chatham, Rochester, Maidstone, and Tonhridge Wells Direct
Railway. The Surrey and Sussex branch will run through Brixton,
Brixton-hill, Clapham, Balhem-hill, Tooting, Mitcham, Morden,
Cheam, Ewell, Epsom, wherAt will ferns a junction with the pro-
posed line to Leatherhead, Headley, Micklcham, from thence to
Dorking, where it will communicate with the Metropolitan Railways
Junction, and proceed through Capel, Rnsper, Warnham, Horsham,
Nuthurst, West Grinstead, Ashurst, Ilenfield, near Weston, and on
to Steyning, forming a junction with the proposed Brighton and
Cheltenham Railway, continuing through Bramber, Coombes, Lanc-
ing, Sorepting, Broadwater, and to Worthing, where it will come in
immediate contact with the Coast Railway,
It is satisfactory to find, from strict calculations, that the pas-
senger traffic arising from the densely-populated parishes contigu-
ous to the metropolis, hitherto unsupplied by railway, viz., Cam
berwell, Peckham, Peckham Rye, Brixton, Clapham, Tooting,
Mitcham, &c. Ece., will give this line a decided advantage over all
other projects, and will alone secure a profitable return.
The general passenger traffic of the Kent Branch (notwithstand-
ing its unquestionable extent) may be considered of secondary im-
portance to the immense transit of agricultural produce which this
county, justly termed " The Garden of England," daily sends to the
metropolitan markets, and particularly the locality of the Borough.
The importance of Maidstone as a terminus is obvious, it being
situated on the River Medway, and containing courts of justice,
county gaol, cavalry depot, and many other public establishments,
the assizes and sessions, and the business of the whole county being
conducted there. It is also, with the adjacent villages, the most
flourishing part of Kent, being surrounded by paper-mills, which are
more numerous and extensive in this neighbourhood than in any
other part of the kingdom, besides several other extensive factories,
breweries, &c.
The Surrey and Sussex branch besides (unquestionably creating
an immense increase of passenger traffic between the metropolis and
the flourishing and new celebrated watering-place, Worthing) must
necessarily command the entire transit of fish, of which many tons
are conveyed weekly from Worthing to London, independent of other
commodities, and the agricultural produce of these two fertile and
productive counties.
The proposed line will fill up the railway chasm at present exist-
ing between London and Epsom, Dorking, Horsham, and Steyn ng,
and will afford direct intercourse with Worthing, one of the most
romantic, fashionable, and delightful watering-places on the coast of
Sussex, and an independent railway will of necessity occasion a
great influx of company to this already justly celebrated place. The
superiority of Worthing as a bathing-place stands unrivalled. The
views of the surrounding country are both extensive and picturesque ;
its sands are particularly worthy of note, being as smooth as carpet,
and offering a healthy and delightful drive of ten miles. It is shel-
tered by an uninterrupted chain of the South Downs, which exclude
the wind even in the winter months. The salubrity of its climate is
too well known to require father comment.
But the greatest source of profit to the shareholders will arise frOm
the immense number of passengers now proceeding by omnibus and
other conveyances to and from the metropolis, and the extensive and
densely-populated suburbs through which this line is intended to pass,
and it may be fairly calculated that not lees than 30,000 will daily
avail themselves of the accommodation afforded to them by this
Company.
The promoters feel considerable satisfaction in announcing a source
of revenue from this project never yet contemplated by any other
Company, viz., the construction under the line to Camberwell of
dwellings or tenements, forming one continued street, thereby im-
proving the locality through which it runs; from this an immense
income will be derived.
The entire distance of these lines from Camberwell will be about
ninety miles, and is free from engineering difficulties. The charac-
ter of the country through which the railway will pass is peculiarly
favourable ; and from the report of the engineer, made on his preli-
minary survey, they will be constructed within the sum proposed.
It is intended to construct this railway on the atmospheric prin-
ciple, both on account of the facility which that method affords for
stopping at short distances to accommodate the highly-respectable
psuburban population, to avoid the possibility of collision, and also
the bringing of locomotive engines into London.
Powers for allowance of interest at 4/. per cent. on the paid-up
capital will be taken, and the liability of shareholders limited to the
amount of their subscriptions.
Power will also be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime
will be given to the Directors, to alter or vary the proposed capital,
either before or after allotment, in order to construct branch
lines to F.CVOTI Oaks, to Dulwich and Norwood, and to the South-
western Railway, thereby accomplishing the much-desired object
of giving that Company a City terminus.
