PROSPECTUS.

The objects intended to 1-he ;cC;;;liSfied by this undertaking are-
1. The supply of local railway accommodation to the important
districts embraced by the line.
2. The benefit of railway communication with the metropolis to a
district of country upwards of 5u miles In length at present =provided
with that accommodation.

3. The completion of the chain of railway commnnication between
the river Severn and the southern and western counties, and the
north-eastern districts of the kingdom and the river Humber, and its
ports, including that cf nun.
Commeociug at the town of Northtunpton, in Onotion with that

London and Birmingham, and the lines of railway proposed to con-
ver,:e at that town from t heltenham, and the west iron) Worcester
and from Warwick, the line will proe,ed in a direct course io the
market town of Kettering, by which place all the companies com-
peting for the line of railway between London and Manchester pro-
pose to pass. It will then proceed, also, in a direct course to the
market towns of Uppingham, Oakhani, and Grantham, to Lincoln.
The country lying between the towns of Northampton and Gran-
tham is wholly without existing or even proposed railway accommo-
dation, not only to the smith, but lso to the north.
At Lincoln the line will hot, and proceed on the one hand in a
northerly direction to the flourishing pert Gainshorough, and on
the other by a north-eastern course to the market town of Market
Raisoi, on the rising port ot Great Grimsby.
By an tation with the Sheffield and Great Grimsby Junction Rail-
way at Market Raiser), a d rect and uninterrupted chain of commu-
nication will be established between all the above-mentioned district);
• and the town and port of Hull.
The sources of traffic which this line will secure are various anti
very considerable ; some of them only can be here enumerated,
viz.:—
Starting from Great Grimsby the line will appropriate to itself the
whole of the traffic thence to tho metropolis, and also the southern
.ankt western districts of the country, and,
in addit'on, it will secure
the impOrtant and increasing local traffic between that town and
Market Raisen and Lincoln.
From Gatinsborough, the termini of several rallways from the
north and north-west, this line will carry the traffic to Lincoln, its
county town.

The trallic from Hull to the metropolis, and also to the west, will
enter upon this line at Market Itaisvn, and proe:ed thereon to
Lincoln.

Frcan Lincoln the whole of the traffic passing to the west and the
intermediate towns must pass over this line.
In the event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not
obtaining the'r Bill, then the traffic from Lincoln to the south and
west, and also the metropolis, will pass along tlds line of railway;
the former the whole distance, and the latter at ally event t• Gran-
tham, a distance of about twenty-five miles ; and should the London
and York Company not succeed, such traffic will proceed on to Ket-
tering or Northampton.

The entire distri‘et between Grantham and Kettering, a distance of
more than forty miles, and including the market towns of Oakham
and Upping,ham, is without railway or water-carriage accommoda-
tion, and the whole of its traffic theretbre will travel over this line of
railway, which will be in the direct course not only t• the west but
also to London.

At Kettering this line will unite with that one of the now com-
peting schemes passing that town from Manchester and Leicester to
London which shall be successful betbre Parliament.
The country is free from engineering difficulties, with one or two
exceptions only, and those are more than counterbalanced by the very
favourable gradients of by far the greate: portion of the line ; indeed,
far many miles the line will run upon a water level.
The lire will not interfere with any ornamental property.
The landowners on the line are favourable to the undertaking._

The promoters reserve pow, r to alter awl vary the route, and ex-
tend the proposed line of railway, and to Increase the amount of
capital, as may be necessary or advisable.

tary, er to the following Sharebrokers, of whom Pros-

The object of the promoters of this Company is to form a direct
line of railway, from Bristol and Bath to Dover; and thus, in effect,
unite, connect, or reciprocate with, all the existing and projected
lines of railway In the south and south-west and west of England, as
well also as form a complete communication with Ireland and all
the western and Welsh railways, and most of those in the northern
and great manufacturing districts, by which passengers and goods
to and from Folkestone and Dover, France and Belgium, may
be conveyed without the necessity of passing through the me-
tropolis.
The main line to be laid down by the Company will be considerably
less than 100 miles, throughout which the strongest encouragement
and support have been manifested towards this railway by the landed
proprietors, many of whom have determined to invest capital in the
undertaking ; and the engineer's report precludes any apprehen.
sion of engineering difficulties. The great public utility and com.
mercial advantages of railway communication between the important
places and ports which it is now contemplated to unite must be at
once appreciated by reference to a map of the country, and they
will be forcibly illustrated by the objects to be attained by this
Company. _

In its course it will thread Us way through the lilies of malty of
the railways already constructed or projected—the junction cf
which will not only be estimated as a great public convenience, Lot
prove highly advantagecus to the several Companies intorested, pro-
ducing an immense traffic, that must stream from Iceland—from
our great manufacturing :-...istricts in the north—the cloth and corn
markets of the west of England—the mineral and coal fields of
Wales, and the hop districts in Kent—all of which point to the
formation of this railway as a great desideratum, as well also as to
form a direct communication with France, Belgium, and the con-
tinent generally, The distance to be saved by this railway will
exceed thirty miles. from Bath (and all the towns north-west) to
Dover ; while to many of the towns southwest of Brirtol sixty
miles or more will be saved by this railway in union with some of
the other linos ; and the often:disuieeable and costly necessity (at
