This line is intended to connnence 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 a
deahlgreersicettuelrciourmildudnLii\elyiasetiiroopintuesl,ith the towns of Rotherham, Sheffield, Man-

transit for manufactured goods and other articles of merchandise.
The communication by railway between these important towns has
not, by existing arrangements, been provided for, except by very
circuitous routes ; indeed, that part of the line from Market Rosen to
Gainsborough has been entirely 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 the success of the scheme.
It is useless to dviell 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.

It Is no slight advantage in this scheme, that it cannot be said to
interfere with existing railways. The main feature is the improve-
ment of communication between important towns by the old na-
tural roads, and thus affording facilities to the agricultural and com-
mercial 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 state that "the line
is a very good one ; it will pass for the most
of the ground , it does not cross any main '..oa'art along the surface
d, nor any ornamental
r
property, or interfere with the mane,ons of the landowners; the
soil is of a favourable character thrc;
dghout, and no engineering M-
flcult!es occur at any point."
No subscriber will be answer;
until the Act is obtained,ar. Able beyond the amount of his deposit
d then net beyond the amount of his sub-
scription ; and power w4l be applied for in the Act of Parliament to
allow interest at the rate of 41. 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 ; but no applica-
tion can be attended to unless accompanied with a satisfactory re-
ference.

Upgate, Louth ; and applic-itions for shares, in the annexed

tary, and to the following Stock and Sharebrokers :
