This important line of railway will commence near the Midland
Counties Station at Nottingham, whence, after crossing the nevi-
gab!e River Trent, the line will proceed through or near Bridgeford,
Holm, Ratcliffe, and the intermediate villages, Bingham; Bot-
tesford, Whatton, Elton, the rich and fertile Vale of Belvoir,
to the town of Grtfntham, thence passing through or near
Folkingham and Bourn, or one of them, to Spalding, Long Sutton,
Sutton-bridge, and King's Lynn ,and there joining the intended Lynn and
East Dereham Railway, will form the most direct line of connexion be-
tween the Eastern Counties, and the great and populous manufac-
turing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire, by means
of the projected Grand Union Extension line to Amber Gate, and
other lines north of Nottingham ; and by means of the line to
Yarmouth will also form a communication between the Eastern and
Western coasts of the Kingdom.
The Southern parts of Lincolnshire, and the North Eastern parts.of
Cambridgeshire, will be afforded a direct facility of intercourse with
some of the best markets in England.
The neighbourhood of Nottingham being the most Eastern part
of the Great Midland Coal Field, this Line will afford a supply of
Coals, as well as being the medium of transit of Derbyshire Lime
and Stone to the Agriculturists of South Lincolnshire, at a conside-
rably cheaper rate than by other existing or projected Line ; in
short, the vast mineral wealth of the Midland District, will be ren-
dered available to the whole of the great agricultural country East
of Nottingham. •
Surveys are now in progress, and the nature of the country is
known to offer no serious engineering difficulties, and a great portion
Of the Line will be nearly a dead level. The consideration of an ex-
tension of the Line from Spalding or Long Sutton to W isbeach, will
also form a portion of the scheme.
The Report of the Board of Trade on the Lines through Lineoba-
shire, says :
" The total cost attending the transmission of a quarter of wheat
from the interior of Lincolnshire, by sea, from the port of Boston to
London, including freight, insurance, lighterage, commission, and
other charges, is stated to =cunt to very near Bs. The charge by
Railway per quarter (allowing five quarters to the ton, at the charge
of 1M d. per ton, per mile, at which the estimate of the Cambridge
and Lincoln Railway is taken) would not exceed 25., and the re-
maining charges are calculated not to exceed 2s. 6d., thus showing
a benefit to the corn growers and to the public of 3s. 6d. per quarter,
occasioned by the saving of the sums now paid for insurance,
delay, loss in weight, depreciation of quality, lighterage, &c."
" A still more important advantage to the Farmer is afforded by
the opportunity given by railway communications of availing himaelf
promptly of the most favourable market. It frequently happens tha-
owing to the delay and difficulty of transmission, the Farmer is come
pelted to sell his wheat at the nearest provincial tnarket at a price
considerably below the average rate, and to lose the advantage of a
temporary rise."
" Whatever tends to equalise prices and to prevent excessive fluc-
tuations cannot 'but be considered as a benefit both to the producer
and the consumer. We are satisfied that much may be done in the
ay by an economical and well arranged system of railway corn-
wunication."
The same remarks apply to the whole of the great manufacturing
districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire.
The great quantity of land, amounting to 100,000 acres, about
to be redeemed frOm the sea by a company, with Sir John Rennie, as
Engineer for the promoters, and Mr. Rendel, for the Corporation of
Lynn, must ultimately prove of great advantage to this under-
taking. And, it it is conceived, that the Grand Union Railway must
meet with the cordial co-operation of the Midland Railways, as an
immense traffic will he brought along those lines en route to Birming-
ham, the Potteries, and the whole of the manufacturing districts of
Staffordshire. The traffic upon the intended Nottingham and Mans-
field, Sheffield and Newark, Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland Junc-
tion, and the Sheffield and Manchester lines, must also derive a great
increase from ithisline of railwa The Cambridge :and Lincoln Rail-
waymust also be greatly benefited.
Power is intended to be reserved in the Act to allow 4 per cent. in-
terest upon deposits and calls, upon completion of the line.

The object of this Railway is to connect South and North Wales,
the improving and important port and fashionable watering place of
Aberyatwith, Shropshire and Cheshire, Sce., with Manchester, Lan-
cashire, Yorkshire, Staffordshire, the Potteries, Derbyshire, and the
North of England.
Its course will be a continuation of the Manchester and Birming-
ham Railway from Crewe, through Nantwich, Whitchureb, Elles-
mere, Oswestry, Welshpool, Montgomery, Newtown, and Llanidloes,
terminating at " Cardigan Bay," and the Port of Aberystwith, with
a Branch tom Ellesmere to the coal-field of Rhuabon. Preliminary
surveys have been made, and it presents no engineering difficulties,
and is remarkably favourable fur cheap construction.
This. line is especially called for by the local wants of the districts,
is not a competing line with any existing or proposed Railway, and
will be the only direct route from Shrewsbury, Ludlow, Leominster,
Hereford, Aberystwith, Machynlleth, Rhyader, Llati+dloes, Newtown,
Bishop-Castle, Montgomery, Welshpool, Llanfyllin, Dolgelly, Llan-
gollen, Rhuabon, Chirk, Overton, Oswestry, lellesmere, Wem, Prees,
Whitchurch, Audlem, and Nantwich, to the Staffordshire Potteries,
Warrington, Maticheater, and the whole of Lancashire and York-
shire, thus accommodating a population of net less than 300,000 indi-
viduals.
And, by means of this line and "the Trent Valley Continuation
Railway," it will give the only communication by Railway from
Market Drayton, Malpas, Wrexham, and 3fold, with the above-
named districts and towns.
And, jointly with the " Trent Valley Continuation Railway," will
be the most direct line from Oswestry, Wem, Ellesmere, Llangollen,
Overton, and Rhuabon, to Stafibrdshlre, Derbyshire, and London.
It Is a most important fact that Crewe, the Terminus of this line,
is the centre of five existing or proposed Railways, embracing the
immense locomotive establishments of those Railways, and the branch
from this line proceeds to the great iron-works and coal-field of
Rhuabon. Engineers and scientific men have fully established the
fact, that the coal of this district is the finest in Europe for the ma-
nufacture of coke, and by this Railway it will be brought directly to
the before-named locomotive establishments, and also be the means
of supplying the interior of Wales with coal, much better, and at a

It will greatly benefit the extensive agricultural population of
South and North Wales, the Yale of Clwyd, Shropshire, and Cheshire,
which will oldain a cheap and quick transit for their agricultural
produce to the Crewe establishments, and the manufacturing dis-
tricts of the Potteries and Manchester, including the whole of Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire, and also to Birmingham and London.
The importance to the several counties through which this Railway
Will pass, of access to the safe harbour of Aberystwith, cannot be
overrated. A great intercourse and interchange of commodities
must take place between the agricultural districts, the coal and iron
mines of Wrexham and Rhuabon, and the flannel manufactories of
Welshpool, Newtown; &c., with Manchester.
