first object of this line is to connect the town of llirrningham,
I.o::.ester, with the eastern oast by the nearest route,
supply an important link of communication between tho town
:oalding and the eastern coast with the Western and Midland

C,nmencintr at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereham,
Ly,,7), and Holbeach Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn,
Withim, Castle Bytlunn, South Wy!ham. and Wymondham, to a
on the Syston and Peterbomugh line of railway near Melton-
-31-o,,'‘ray, thus forming, by the Syston awl Peterborough and 3lid,
lam': Counties Railway, an almost direct route to Leicester, and
the • to •oventry and 11l mia4ham by the proposed Coventry,
Nun 11011, Lei ester, and Birmingham Railway.

1-!: • nrojected line will form th, most direct communication be•
tae, the eastern and mill ,nd districts of the kingdom, and will, by
of the proposed lines across the county of Leicester, via 8ur-
:0,,-,-,00-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincoln, Nortblk,
,;! rJ -hire, and 'Nor h Wah,, nearer to eath other by many metes
• ny othur line of

'1! form, with oth,r ro cctc 9 ral!ways. an almost direct line
acr tt-w kinzdOin, from Yarmouth. via Norwich, on the east, to
Aiwry,twitb, via Newt,n and Shrcwsbur., , im the west.
1;1,y ,!! vri:: not exact thirty miles. There Is no tunnel-
,111::11', or c,,lftliking of any importance necessary ; the line
from Bourn to Sit,,idintr, a distance of about twelve miles, is very
level, and may be constructed at a small cost. . . .

It will secure the advantages of railway communication to a tract
of country at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open
ing out sources of trade undeveloped for want of it" means of transit.
The contra! inY!:,-,,1 districts have felt greatly the want of direct
communication the coast; and this line will at once supply the
deficiency to th, _ • - ~r part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire.
It will afford a , for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei-
:cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon
supply from the north at high prices: it will also secure the advan-
tag, of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershire works,
to the agricultnr,il districts of Lincoln, which are at present only
supolied at very high rates; and, in return traffic, the midland dis-
tricts will n.tain 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 on the eastern coast for the midland counties, and
connected by the River Welland with the German Ocean.

... .
The proposed capital will he suffi,lent for the construction o; the
necessary -works and every subsNiucnt expense ; and the income
derivaide from the traffic in passengers between Birmingham,.Co-
ventry, Leicester, Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Boston, the trans-
port of corn, cattle, and ogler produce of the great agricultural
districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming
districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the Inland
districts, will he sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay.

• ~
The Parliamentary surveys have been commenc,d, and are now
in active progress, and contracts have been entered into which en-
sure sufficient time for complia,ce wills the standing orders.
Forms of application for shares, plans, and prospectuses may be
