o addition will be made to the above list, unless any
landed proprietor residing in the neighbourhood of the line, or other
influential party, shall be desirous, either on his own account, or in
order to represent the locality in which he resides, of having his
name added to the Provisional Committee, and intimate the saute to
one of the Solicitors.

London and Birmingham, and the lines of railway proposed to con-
verge at that town from Cheltenham, and the west :rout Worcester
and from Warwick, the hue will proceed in a direct course to the
market town of Kettering, by which place all 'the companies com-
peting for the line of railway between London and Manchester pro-
pose topass. It will then proceed, also, in a direct course to the
mark( t towns of Uppingham, Oakham, and Grantham, to Lincoln.
The count.-v lying between the towns of Northampton and Gran-
tham is wholly win:chit existing or even proposed railway accommo-
dation, not Only to the south, but vise to the north.
At Lincoln the line will fork, and proceed on the one hand in a
northerly direction to the flourishing port of Gainsberough,- and on
the other by a north-eastern course to the market town of Market
Raisen, on the rising port-of Great Grimsby.
By an union with the Sheffield and Great Grimsby Junction Rail-
way at Market Raisen, a d rcet and uninterrupted chain of commu-
nication will be established between all the above-mentioned districts
and the town and port 'Of Ilull.
. The sources of traffic which this line will secure are various and
very considerable ; some of them only can be. here enumerated,
viz. :
Starting from Great Grimsby the line will appropriate to itself the
whole of the traffic thence to the metropolis, and also the southern
and western districts of the country, and, in addiCon, it will secure
the important and increasing local traffic between that town and
Market Raisen and Lincoln.
From Gainsborough, the termini of several railways from the
north and north-west, this line will carry the traffic to Lincoln, its
county town.
The traffic from Hull to the metropolis, and also to the west, will
enter upon this line at Market Balm, and procsed thereon to
Lincoln.
From Lincoln the whole of the traffic passing to the west and the
intermediate towns must pass over this line.
In the event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not
obtaining Melt' Bill, then the traffic from Lineal to the south and
west, and also the metropolis, will pass along this line of railway;
the former the whole distance, and the latter at any event to Gran-
tham, a distance of about twenty-five miles; and should the London
and York Company not succeed, such traffic will proceed on to Ket-
tering or Northampton.
The enthe 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 one of the now com-
peting schemes passing that town from Manchester and Leicester to
London which shall be successful before Parliament.
The countryis free front 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 lire will not interfere with any ornamental property.
The landowners on the line are favourable to the undertaking.
The promoters reserve power to alter and vary the route, and ex-
tend the.proposed line of railway, and to increase the amount of
capital, as may be necessary or advisable.

tary, or to the following Sharebrokers, of whom Pros-
