This line is intended to form the most direct communication be-
tween Hull and Lincoln, Newark, Nottingham, Derby, Birmingham,
and the midland and south-western manufacturing districts, and also
between Hull anti London, and the south and south-east of England.
It is also intended to give the best possible railway accommodation to
the rich agricultural district through which it will pass, for the con-
veyance of its produce to market, and the obtaining of ceal, timber,
stone, slate, and other articles.
It is proposed La proceed to Hessle by the Hull and Selby Railway,
and thence by an extension to the edge of the Humber, to improve
the landings on each side of the ferry, so as to procure the greatest
possible facility of transit across it. The line will then be continued
to South Ferriby Sluice, and thence In a direct line to Brigg and Lin-
coln, through a perfectly level and rich agricultural district. At

manu-
facturing districts, all of which receive a considerable portion of the
foreign produce which they consume through the port of Hull,
through which also they export a large amount of manufactures.
Notwithstanding the chief portion of the traffic found its way by the
tedious and uncertain course of the River Trent, a large amount of
both
ugoolirtodasannd passengers passed along the very ancient road be-
and Lincoln. Of late years much of it has been
diverted by the circuitous, though more expeditious accommodation
furnished by railways.
The proposed line will be the most direct, econovical, and expe-
ditious conveyance for this traffic, which it is therefore confidently
expected will in a great measure be restored to this its natural
channel.
. _

- The several other railway schemes in this part of Lincolnshire
have in view the promotion of local accommodation, and entirely
overlook this important through trade, and render the interest of
Lincoln and Hull secondary to that of much less important
places.
It is impossible to expect that any great :amount of through traffic
can be attracted by the Sheffield and Grimsby line, with the delays
and inconveniences inseparable from a passage from branch to trunk,
and trunk to branch lines, and an unnecessary prolongation of ten or
a dozen miles. The ferry, too, at New Holland, with the sand banks
in the Humber, present great obstacles to punctuality and expedition,
while at the Ilessle and Barton ferry it is confidently asserted that
carriages, with thir cotents, can be removed from the line on one
side to that on thee othern at all times of the tide, in ten minutes or a
quarter of an hour.Triaaislyib,aeyenmicrpareesfalle,,
