PROSPECTUS.
The objects intended to be acco.nplished by this undertaking are
1. The formation of a direct line of railway between Hull and rhe
metropolis.
2. The supply of local railway accommodation to the important
districts embraced by the line.
3. The benefit of railway communication with the metropolis ex-
tended to a district of country, west of Grantham, upwards of 50 miles
in length at present unprovided with that accommodation.
4. The completion of the chain of railway communication between
Bristol, Gloucester, the river Severn, and the southern and western
counties, and the north-eastern districts of the kingdom and the river
Humber, and its ports, including that of Hull. •
5. The connecting of the two important ports of Hull and South-
ampton by one continuous chain of railways.
Commencing at the town of Northampton, in conjunction with the
London and Birmingham, the Northampton, Banbury, and Chelten-
ham, and the other lines of railway proposed to converge at that
town from the west, from Worcester and from Warwick, the
line will proceed in a direct course to the market town of Kettering,
by which place all the companies competing for the line of railway
between London and Manchester propose to pass. It will then pro-
ceed, also, in a direct course by the market towns of Uppingham,
Oakham, and Grantham, to Lincoln.
The country lying between the towns of Northampton and Gran-
tham is wholly without existing or even proposed railway accommo-
dation, not only to the south, but also to the north.
From Lincoln the line will proceed byithe shortest and best practi-
cable course to Hull.
The sources of traffic which this line will secure are various and
very considerable ; some of them only can be here enumerated.
They are,—
Starting from Hull the line will appropriate to itself the whole of
the traffic thence to the Metropolis, Bristol, Southampton, Glouces-
ter, Oxford, Cheltenham, and the whole of the Southet n and Western
districts of the kingdom, and, in addition, it will secure the very im-
portant and increasing local traffic between Hull and Lincoln and
the intermediate towns.
In the event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not
obtaining their Act of Parliament, then the traffic from the before-
mentioned places and Lincoln to the south and west, also to the me-
tropolis, will pass along this line of railway; the former the whole
distance, and the latter in any event to Grantham, a distance of about
twenty-five miles ; and should tho London and York Company not
succeed, such traffic will proceed further toKettering or Northampton.
The entire 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 Kettering this line will unite with that ene of the now com-
peting schemes passing that town from Manchester and Leicester to
London which shall be successful before Parliament.
From the singularly important advantages which this undertaking
presents to the capitalist, as well as to the public at large, the Pro-
visional Directors do not think it necessary, with reference Ito the
supposed traffic or otherwise, to say more than that they fully be-
lieve that the return will be, upon the capital required, 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 greater portion of the line ; indeed,
for many miles the line will run upon a water level.
The line will not interfere with any ornamental property.
The promoters have made every necessary arrangement for 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 of 41. per cent. 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 Srimsby 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
the several Solicitors or Local Agents, the Secretary, or to the fol-
lowing Brokers, viz. : —Messrs. Peppercorne and Co., 2, Old Broad-
street ; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39, Lothbury ; or Messrs.

The port of Boston affords the readiest outlet for exports from the
manufacturing districts to the north of Europe, and the importance
of direct communication from the midland counties to a place so ad-
vantageously situate cannot be over-estimated.
Leicester has, or shortly will have, direct communication with
Birmingham, and all the other important towns in the midland
district.

The Midland Railway Company is extending the communication
to Melton Mowbray, by means of its branch from Syston to Peter-
borough, which passes through that place. There is also a corcplete
line of railway about to be established from Nottingham, through
Grantham and Folkingham, to Boston, as wall as to Spalding, Wis-
beach, Lynn, Yarmouth, and other important towns in the eastern
counties.
