SECRETARY—George Farrer, Esq.

The object of this line of railway is to connect, by a direct route,
the important town and seaport of Bbston 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 unnecessary 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 map will show that this line is well laid ont, 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 Swinlshead, Donington, Folkingham, Grantham, Stoke, Roch-
ford, and Melton Mowbray. It is evident that this line will be o
great convenience and- tr :My, by affording to a part of the country
at present deprived of it the advantage of railway commnnication
with the counties of Rutlandshire, Leicestershire, Northampton-
shire, Warwickshire, &c., and thus connecting the agricultural
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-
way will receive a preference, and reservation will be made for the
landed interests along the line, whose concurrence and assistance is
-fully relied on by the promoters, by whom most of the influential
landholders have been canvassed ; and, in order to prevent unnes-
sary trouble, no other applications will be received except those
wherein reference is made to a member of the Provisional Commit-
tee, to the Solicitors or Banke, or the following Sharebrokers,

The Directors of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction
Railway Company, having completed the whole of their arrange-
ments, and having been compelled to refuse at-least three-fourths of
the applications for shares in their line, have had their attention
forcibly and repeatedly called to the necessity of a direct communi-
cation between Salisbury and Swindon, the station on the Great
Western Railway, by which the most direct and remunerative con-
nexion will be formed between Southampton and Manchester.
The advantages, in point of speed, to be derived from the broad
gauge, as also the superiority of the gradients obtained by the route
of the Valley of the Avon, together with the importance of placing the
city of Salisbury on the main trunk line from the north to South-
ampton, must insure to this undertaking the sanction of the Legis-
lature and the local support of the towns and districts through which
the line will pass.
Besides forming a direct communication with the great manufac-
turing towns in the north, the gallsbury and Swindon Extension will
make a complete line of railway between Southampton, Salisbury.
and all parts of North and South Wales.
After most mature deliberation, the Directors have resolved to re-
commend to their shareholders and the public the immediate carry-
ing out of a railway to effect the above object, which will be most
desirable as a completion to their own line, and highly advantageous
in a pecuniary sense and on public grounds. They have directed all
the necessary surveys to be made, so as to apply to Parliament in
the ensuing session, at the same time as the Wilts, Somerset, and
Southampton Junction Railway, with a view to the ultimate amal-
gamation of both lines under one management.
In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to the holders
of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway shares,
as also to parties locally interested, due regard being at the same
time had to public interosti and every original shareholder in that
line may, on production of his scrip certificate, receive an allotment
of a similar number of Salisbury and Swindon Extension shares.
The holders of Great Western, and of Wilts, Somerset, and Wey-
month shares, will also have a preference.
Applications may bg made, in the following form, to the Provision:
Committee, a th Coffees or the Company, 26, Gresham-street, the
solicitors, the local egents, Or to the prthelpal brokers in tows and
country.
