PROSPECTUS.

The objects intended to be accomplished by this undertaking are—
Firstly—The supply of local railway accommodation to the hnpor-
tont districts embraced by the line.
Secondly—The benefit of railway communication with the metro-
polis to a district of country upwards of fifty miles in length at pre-
sent unprovided with that accommodation.
Thirdly—The completion of the chain of railway communication
between the river Severn and the southern and western counties, and
the north-eastern district of the kingdom and the river Htunber and
its ports, including that of Hull.
Commencing at the town of Northampton, in conjunction with the
London and Birmingham, and the lines of railway proposed to con-
verge. at that town from Cheltenhatt, and the west from Worcester
and from Warwick, the line will proceed in a direct coarse to the
market town of lettering, by which place all the companies compet-
ing for the line of railway between London and Mindlietter prOpoSe
to pass. It will then proceed also in a direct course to the market
towns of Uppingham, Oakham, and Grantham, on to Lincoln.
The country lying between the towns of Northampton And Grant-
ham is wholly without exiatilig Of eferi proposed railway accommo-
dation, not only to the south but also to the north.
At Lincoln the line will fork, and proceed, on the one hand, in a
nortkerly direction to the flourishing port of Gainskorough, and, on
the other, by a north-eastern course to the market town of Market
Raise', on to the rising port of Great Grimsby,
By it union with the Sheffield and Great Grimsby jitnetlon hail-
way at Marketßaisen, a direct and uninterrtlpted chain of communi-
cation will be established between all the above-mentioned districts
and the town and port of Hull.
Tile sources of traffic which this line will leoure aro various and
very considerable ; some of Bleat slily can be here enumerated, viz.:—
Starting from Great Grimsby, the line will appropriate to itself the
whole of the traffic frQlll Inettee to the metropolis, and also the
southern and w7..,..cre, districts of the kingdom, and, in addition, it
will scr..:,e the important and increasing local traffic between that
.own and Market Itaisen and Lincoln. .

From GainShofollgh; tine ttritiiriiof soya. railways
from the
north and north-west; this line will carry the trade to Lincoln, its
county town.
The traffic from Hull to the metropolis, and also to the west, will
enter upon this line at Market Raisen and proceed thereon to Lltietiln.
From Lincoln the whole of the traffic passing to the west and the
intermediate towns mast pass over this line.
In the event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not
obtaining their Bill, then the traffic from Lincoln to the snitth and
west, and also the metropolis, will pass along this line of railway ; the
former the whole distance, and the latter in any event to Grantham,
a distance of about twenty-five miles ; and should the LOrideu and
York Company not Mucci, such trains will proceed on to Kettering
or Northampton.
The entire district between Grantham and Kettering, a distance
of more than forty miles, and including the market towns of
Oakinghani and Uppingham, is without a railway or water-carriage
accommodation, and the whole of its traffic therefore will travel over
this line of railway, which will be in the direct course not only to
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 before 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 greater portion of the line;
indeed for many miles the line will run upon a water level.
• The line will not interfere with any ornamental property.
The landowners on the line are favourable to the undertaking.

The promoters reserve power to alter and vary tke route, to ex-
tend the proposed l;ne of railway, and to increase the amount of ca-
pital as may be necessary or advisable.
