This line is intended to commence at Louth, and to proceed, by way
of Market Rasen, to 'the town and port of Gainsborough. in the
county of Lincoln; and is projected for the purpose of completing •
direct communication with the towns of Rotherhant, Sheffield, Man-
chester, and Liverpool, and thus affording to the rich. grazing and
agricultural divisions of the county a re tdy access to those towns,
which have always been the natural markets for the produce of the
district ; and at the same time rto provide a certain-and speedy
transit for manufactured goods and other articles of merchandise.
The 'communication by railway between these important towns has
not, by existing arrangements, been provided tor, except by very
circuitous
ain,bormrioguhtehs.;
beenh entirelyeed„hatpart of the line from Market Rasen to
overlooked ; and therefore the pre-
sent one has been proposed to meet the wants of the district on the
strong representations and request of a large and respectable body
Of gentry deeply interested in Me Xaccess of the scheme.
It is useless to dwell in the present day upon the advantages of
railway communication, as those towns which do not avail them-
selves of the facilities afforded must eventually sink in importance.
To Louth and the surrounding neighbourhood especially the pro-
posed line cannot fail to be of paramount importance, as opening, bi-
dependWttly of passengers' traffic, a directmeans of transit for cattle,
corn,-gOotis, &c., &c.. to and front all the great Yorkshire, Lancashire,
and other important markets.

m.
.raercial interests, and to the.public generally, in and through a dis-
trict where a railway is essentially necessary for its ultimate and
lasting prosperity.
A careful survey of the line has been made, and the engineer's
report is of a very favourable character. He states that " the line
is a very good one - it will pass for the Most part along the surface
of the ground, it Les not cross any main road, nor any ornamental
property, or interfere with the mansions of the landowners; the
soil is of a favourable character throughout, and no;engineering dif-
ficulties occur at any point."
No snbscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of his deposit
until the Act is obtained, and then net beyond the amount of his sub-
scription ; and power will he applied for in the Act of Parliament to
allow interest atthe rate 0f,4/. per cent. per annum on all calls until
the opening of the line. In the allotment of shares, preference will be
given to landowners and parties locally interested; Vut.no applica-
tion can be'attended to. unless accompanied with a satisfactory re-
ference. • - - .
