The Clithe district between Grantham and Kettering, a distance of
more than forty miles, and including the market towns of Oakham
and Uppingham, is without railway or water-carriage accommoda-
tion, 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 Kette ing this line will unite with that one of the now com-
petnig schemes passing that town from Manchester -and Leicester to
London which shall be successful before Parliament..

From ,he singularly important advantages which this undertaking
pres,•nts to the capitalist, as well as to the public at large, the Pro-
visional Directors do not think It necessary, with reference ,to the
supposed traffic or otherwise, to say more than that they Cully be-
lieve that the return will be, upon the capital requireJ, highly re-
munerative.

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,
for many miles the Fne will run upon a water level.
The line will not interfere with any ornamental property.
The promoters have made every necessary arrangement far the
active prosecution of the undertaking, and for applying to Parlia-
ment in the ensuing session.
No call will be made, with the exception of the deposit, till the Act
is obtained, and power will be applied for in the Act of Parliament,
to allow interest at the rate (f 4/. percent. per annum on all calls from
the date of their payment, and to limit the liability of each share-
holder to the amount of his subscription.
The landowners on the line are favourable to the undertaking.
The promoters reserve power to alter and vary the route, to ex-
tend the proposed line of railway to Great Grimsby or elsewhere,
and to increase the amount of capital, as may be necessary or ad-
visable.
Prospectuses and Plans may be obtained on application to any of

SECRETARY—George Ferrer, Esq.
The object of this line of railway is to connect, by a direct route,
the important town and seaport of Bostoa with the centre of Eng-
land, by way of Grantham and Melton Mowbray, where it will join
the Syston and Peterborough branch of the Midland Counties Railway.
It is IL:necessary to enlarge upon the advantages which will arise
from this railway, which passes through one of the richest and
most fertile parts of England. The population is dense, and a
glance at the snip w:11 show that this line is well laid out, not
only for the direct traffic from Leicester and the intermediate
places to Boston, but also for the general traffic which will be
brought to this line by the several railways which will be connected
with it.

By this railway, which will be about forty-four miles in length,
and laid through a country nearly level, it is intended to pass by or
near Swineshead, Donington, Folkingliam, Grantham, Stoke, Roch-
ford, and Melton Mowbray. It is evident that this line will be of
great convenience and iv ility, by affording to a part of the county
at present deprived of it the advantage of railway communication
whit the counties of itutlandshire, Leicestershire, Northampton-
shire, Warwickshire, &c., and thus connecting the agriculturai
districts of Lincolnshire with the manufacturing parts of England,
affording to the latter an easy and accessible means of export for
their manufactures.

In the allotment of shares, holders in the Midland Counties Rail-
