This short line will run through one of the most picturesque and
attractive districts in the neighbourhood of the metropolis ; it will
traverse the whole of the populous country lying between Windsor
and the Farnborough station of the South-Western Railway, where a
reception-room has been fitted up for the accommodation of the
Queen and Prince Albert and suite, in their frequent progresses to and
from the Isle of Wight.
The places brought in direct communication with this line will be,
Ascot, Bracknell, Suaninghill, Bagshot, the Royal Military College
at Sandhurst, Blackwater, Frimley, and Farnborough ; all of them
places of considerable resort, lying on the route from London to the
most fashionable summer retreat in the United Kingdom. The ad-
vantages of this line are obvious ; even without the facility of a ra-
pid or direct communication, the pleasure traffic and business inter-
course of these places are already very large, and it is reasonable to
anticipate that the establishment of a railway will not only increase
the traffic in the usual ratio, but that it will draw off and concen-
trate upon this line a great portion of that holiday and pleasure-seek-
ing population which is n ;iv scattered over so many less attractive
scenes.
This railway will secure the whole traffic from London. to Ascot, in
conjunction with the London and Windsor Railway, and open a new
source of I evenue to the shareholders in that company. The traffic
of passengers from the metropolis to Ascot during the race week,
from authentic sources, is estimated at 8,0001., in addition to which
an increase may be calculated upon from Winchester, Southampton,
Portsmouth, the Isle of Wight, and places adjacent to Ascot; and
also confer a benefit upon the Shareholders in the South-Western
Railway Company. The Windsor, Ascot, and Farnborough Line
therefore may be described as a junction, which must be productive
of a large revenue to the two lines it will unite ; deriving from each
advantages of corresponding value.
Another striking feature of profit and utility embraced in this line
will be, direct communication between London and the Royal Mili-
tary College at Sandhurst ; the number of persons interested in that
great national establishment will thus be provided with rapid and
easy means of transit, while the facility must tend to increase the
traffic considerably beyond the usual average.
This railway will also complete a direct route lo the Isleof Wight,
which is every day increasing in fashionable rerutation, in conse-
quence of the frequent visits of royalty, and her Majesty's selection
of the island for a summer residence, the population of which is
daily augmenting under the influence of these propitious cir-
cumstances.
The facility of conveyance to and from the kennel of the royal
stag-hounds may also be referred to as one of the exclusive advan-
tages of this line.
And in addition to the sources of profit already indicated, consider-
able stress may be laid upon the amount which will be derived from
the supply of coals and conveyance of heavy goods to the towns
through or near to which this line will pass, which are at present,
for the most part, supplied by an expensive land carriage from the
canal at Basingstoke, or the Farnborough station of the South-
Western Railway, or from the river Thames at Windsor or Kingston.
No tunnel or viaduct will be necessary, and the gradients of the
line will be peculiarly easy.
All usual and proper clauses for limiting the liability of Share-
holders to the amount of their respective Shares, will be provided
for by the Bill.
Applications for Shares to be made in the usual form to the Soli-
citor, Air. G. Smith, 24, Golden-square, where prospectuses, with
plans, may be had.

The formation of a railway from Nottingham to Boston is, unques-
tionably, of the greatest importance to the whole of the districts and
towns which it will connect, and will prove highly advantageous to
the manufacturing and agricultural interests. By reference to the
map of England, it will be seen that Boston is only about forty-eight
miles from Nottingham, while all other sea-ports, on the east coast,
are at a much greater distance from Nottingham. A very great
traffic already exists between Boston and Nottingham, which may be
increased almost to an incalculable amount when the facilities
of railway transit are completed. The export trade from Boston is
now comparatively limited, by the want of means of conveyance
from the manufacturing districts, which this railroad will supply.
Boston is situate in the midst of the finest land in the kingdom;
and this part of Lincolnshire may be justly termed the garden of the
manufacturing district of England. The produce of the whole dis-
trict, particularly its wheat, is consumed in the large manufacturing
towns; and the carriage of corn and cattle, to the great centres of
population, will alone furnish a constant and certain source of
revenue.

In addition to this, a large traffic will be carried along the line,
in manufactured goods, and in coal and lime from the Nottingham-
shire and Derbyshire coal fields, to rural districts through which it
passes, and to the shore of the German Ocean ; the latter traffic is
yet to be developed, and with the cheap transit provided by this line
the important article of coal will compete at a great advantage to
the consumer with the present supply, which is now brought by sea
from Newcastle.

A very considerable amount of the vast staple produce of Notting-
ham, Derby, Loughborough, Leicester, and the neighbourhood, which
is exported to Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Germany, and all other
parts of the Baltic, is now conveyed by a circuitous and expensive
route to Hull and London, and thence, after repeated removals by
ship or steamer, to its destination; whereas, on the completion of this
. .

line% it would be transmitted direct to Boston, and thence to the be-
fore-mentioned places, in much less time, and at a much less expense.
Boston is not only the nearest seaport town to Nottingham, but it
is the natural seaport of the manufacturing towns of the whole of the
midland district, and it is the most convenient, safest, and best
situated on the eastern coast, for the shipment and transhipment of
merchandise. By recent Improvements the river, or arm of the sea,
which runs through the centre of the town, has been widened and
deepened, thus affording means for vessels of from three to four hun-
dred toes burthen, to take in and discharge their cargoes at the
wharf-side, without risk or damage, an object of Importance not only
In point of security to the goods, but also in the saving of expense
visually incurred for lighter charges.
The nature of the country through which the line will pass is most
favourable in its facilities for construction : it is nearly all a dead level.
The cost of construction will be as low as that of any line in the
kingdom;; and the Company will not have to encounter the opposi-
tion of the owners of the land and estates through which the line will
pass, they being, as far as can be ascertained, most favourably dis-
posed towards the undertaking.
It will be seen that the proposed line combines all the elements of
a profitable railway; it has a seaport town at one of the termini;
it passes through a rich and productive agricultural district, to the
great seats of manufacture and consumption, each being a certain
source of traffic ; and it affords ready communication with the
southern, northern, and midland counties.
It is intended to apply for power in the Act to allow four per cent.
interest upon deposits, until the completion of the line.
Applications for shares may be made in the subjoined form, at
the Office of the Company, 14, Birchin-lane, Lombard-street, London;
or to the Solicitors.

No person need apply for shares unless the application is accom-
panied by an unexceptionable reference. A certain number of shares
will be reserved for owners of land on the line, and for parties resident
In the locality through which the line will pass.
