This important line of railway will commence near the Midland
Counties Station at Nottingham, whence, after crossing the navi-
gable River Trent, the line will proceed through or near Bridgeford,
Holmo, Ratcliffe, and the intermediate Villages, Bingham, Bot-
tesford, Whatton, Elton, the rich and fertile Vale of Belvoir,
to the town of Grantham, thence passing through or near
Folkingliam and Bourn, or one of them, to Spalding, Long Sutton.
Sutton-bridge, and King's Lynn,and there joining the intended Lynn and
East Dereham Railway, will form the most direct line of connexion be-
tween the Eastern Counties, and the great and populous manufac-
turing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire, by means
of the projected Grand Union Extension line to Amber Gate, and
other lines north of Nottingham; and by means of the line to
Yarmouth will also form a communication between the Eastern and
Western coasts of the Kingdom.
The Southern parts of Lincolnshire, and the North Eastern parts of
Cambridgeshire, will be afforded a direct facility of intercourse with
some of the best markets in England.
The neighbourhood of Nottingham being the most Eastern part
of the Great Midland Coal Field, this Line will afford a supply of
Coals, as well as being the medium of transit of Derbyshire Lime
and Stone to the Agriculturists of South Lincolnshire, at a conside-
rably cheaper rate than by other existing or projected Line ; in
short, the vast mineral wealth of the Midland District, will be ren-
dered available to the whole of the great agricultural country East
of Nottingham.
Surveys are now in progress, and the nature of the country is
kiown to offer no serious engineering difficulties, and a great portion
of the Line will be nearly a dead level. The consideration of an ex-
tension of the Line from Spalding or Long Su tten to Wisbeach, will
also form a portion of the scheme.
The Report of the Board of Trade on the Lines through Lincoln-
shire, says :
" The total cost attending the transmission of a quarter of wheat
from the interior of Lincolnshire, by sea, from the port of Boston to
London, including freight, insurance, lighterage, commission, and
other charges, is stated to amount to very near Bs. Tho charge by
Railway per quarter (allowing five quarters to the ton, at the charge
of 114 d. per ton, per mile, at which the estimate of the Cambridge
and Lincoln Railway is taken) would not exceed 25., and the re-
maining charges are calculated not to exceed 2s. 6d., thus showing
a benefit to the corn growers and to the public of as. 6d. per quarter,
occasioned by the saving of the sums now paid for insurance,
delay, loss in weight, depreciation of quality, lighterage, Re."
" A still more important advantage to the Farmer is afforded by
the opportunity given by railway communications of availing himself
promptly of the most favourable market. It frequently happens tha-
owing to the delay and difficulty of transmission, the Farmer is come
pelted to sell his wheat at the nearest provincial market at a price
considerably below the average rate, and to lose the advantage of a
temporary rise."
" Whatever tends to equalise prices and to prevent excessive fluc-
tuations cannot . but be considered as a benefit both to the produce(
and the consumer. We are satisfied that much may be done in the
ay by an economical and well arranged system of railway corn-
wunication."
The same remarks apply to the whole of the great manufacturing
districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire.
The great quantity of land, amounting to 100,000 acres, about
to be redeemed from the sea by a company, with Sir John Rennie, as
Engineer for the promoters, and Mr. Bendel, for the Corporation of
Lynn, must ultimately prove of great advantage to this under-
taking. And, it it is conceived, that the Grand Union Railway must
meet with the cordial co-operation of the Midland Railways, as an
immense traffic will be brought along those lines en route to Birming-
ham, the Potteries, and the whole of the manufacturing districts of
Staffordshire. The traffic upon the intended Nottingham and Mans-
field, Sheffield and Newark, Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland Junc-
tion, and the Sheffield and Manchester lines, must also derive a great
increase from ithisline of railwa The Cambridge :and Lincoln Rail-
waymust also be greatly benefited.
Power is intended to be reserved in the Act to allow 4 per Cent. in-
terest upon deposits and calls, upon completion of the line.
Applications for Shares may be made to Messrs. Capes and Stuart,
Solicitors, Gray's Inn, London ; or Messrs. W. and S. Parsons, jun.,

The object of this Railway is to connect South and North Wales,
the improving and important port and fashionable watering place of
Aberystwith, Shropshire and Cheshire, &c., with Manchester, Lan-
cashire, Yorkshire, Staffordshire, the Potteries, Derbyshire, and the
North of England.
Its course will be a continuation of the Manchester and Birming-
ham Railway from Crewe, through Nantwich, Whitchureh, Elles-
mere, Oswestry, Welshpool, Montgomery, Newtown, and Llanidloes,
terminating at " Cardigan Bay," and the Port of Aberystwith, with
a Branch from Ellesmere to the coal-field of Rhuabon. Preliminary
surveys have been made, and it presents no engineering difficulties,
and is remarkably favourable for cheap construction.
This line is especially called for by the local wants of the districts,
is not a competing line with any existing or proposed Railway, and
will be the only direct route from Shrewsbury, Ludlow, Leominster,
Hereford, Aberystwith, Machynlleth, Rhyader, Llarddloes, Newtown,
Bishop-Castle, Montgomery, Welshpool, Llanfyllin, Dolgelly, Llan-
gollen, Rhuabon, Chirk, Overton, Oswestry, Ellesmere, Wens, Prees,
Whitchurch, Audlem, and Nantwich, to the Staffordshire Potteries,
Warrington, Manchester, and the Whole of Lancashire and York-
shire, thus accommodating a population of not less than 300,000 indi-
viduals.
And, by means of this line and "the Trent Valley Continuation
Railway," it will give the only communication by Railway from
Market Drayton, Malpas, Wrexham, and Mold, with the above-
named districts and towns.
And, jointly with the Trent Valley Continuation Railway," will
be the most direct line:from Oswestry, Wem, Ellesmere, Llangollen,
Overton, and Rhuabon, to Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and London.
It is a most important fact that Crewe, the Terminus of this line,
is the centre of five existing or proposed Railways, embracing the
immense locomotive establishments of those Railways, and the branch
from this line proceeds to the great iron-works and coal-field of
Rhuabon. Engineers and scientific men have fully established the
fact, that the coal of this district is the finest in Europe for the ma-
nufacture of coke, and by this Railway it will be brought directly to
the before-named locomotive establishments, and also be the means
of supplying the interior of Wales with coal, much better, and at a
lower price than at present.
It will greatly benefit the extensive agricultural population of
South and North Wales, the Vale of Clwyd, Shropshire. and Cheshire,
which will obtain a cheap and quick transit for their agricultural
produce to the Crewe establishments, and the manufacturing dis-
tricts of the Potteries and Manchester, including the whole of Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire, and also to Birmingham and London.
The importance to the several counties through which this Railway
will pass, of access to the safe harbour of Aberystwith, cannot be
overrated. A great intercourse and interchange of commodities
must take place between the agricultural districts, the coal and iron
mines of Wrexham and Rhuabon, and the flannel manufactories of
Welshpool, Newtown, &c., with Manchester.
The existing traffic is very considerable, and a glance at the ac-
companying map will show at once the great resources of this line ;
and, it is manifest, that it certainly must become one of the most
valuable and productive lines in the kingdom.
Power will be 'applied for to allow interest at the rate of 41. per
cent. on all deposits and calls paid up, after the passing of the Act.
Applications for Prospectuses, Plans, and Shares, may be made to

This important undertaking, in connexion with the projected Lei-
cester and Birmingham Line, and the existing Midland Railways,
will form the most complete and direct line of communication yet
projected between the great cbrn-producing counties of Yorftalk and
Lincoln, and the populous manufacturing districts of the Midland
Counties, of which Birmingham is the centre.
It will, in conjunction with the line via East Darellalll to Lynn,
and the Norwich and Yarmouth Railway, establish a direct commu-
nication from Yarmouth and Norwich to Birmingham.
By means of its junction with the proposed Cambridge and Lin-
coln or the London and York lines, as the case may be, it will also
bring within the range of its advantages the whole of the country
between Lincoln and Peterborough.
The part of the line extending from Boston by Spalding to Market
Deepig, aud the Branch Item Salding to Lynn will also form the
direct n
route to London from those towns and the, country northward
thereof as far as the Humber.
On the other hand, it will bring the whole of this highly cultivated
and populous county into direct and immediate communication with
the great coal-fields of Leicestershire and Warwickshireing ; the pro-
posed line of the Leicester and Birmingham Railway pass through
the latter, and a Branch Line from the Leicesteton, r and Swanni
with
ngton
Railway to the Midland Railway, at Brough uniting it
the former.
By these means the price of coals will be reduced one-half at Stam-
ford and the adjacent towns—an advantage in which this
has been
under-
taking will possess a decided superiority over any other that
or can be proposed.
By the junction of this line, at Nuneaton, with the Trent Valley
Railway, it will also form the most direct comm Stamford, unicatio
and all between
Yarmouth, Norwich, Lynn, Boston, Spalding, the
intermediate towns, and Manc Bir
hester, Liverpool, and North Wales;
and, by means of the railways centering at mingham, tßritol and the whole of the west of England and South Wales.
A glance at the map will show that no line that can be devised win
so completely effect all tbe objects of a grand east and west commu- 1
nication as the one now proposed.
The line of country traversed by the railway is net less favourable
country to the
in an engineering point of view. From Lynn and Boston to Stam-
ford, two-thirds of the whole line, the country is one uniform plain;
from thence the line follows the Valley of the Welland to or near to
exports of corn and other agricultural produce from
Market liarborough, and then passes over an easy
corresponding im-
portsbeach, and Spaldignoge:deantod the
