PROSPECTUS.
The objects intended to be accomplished by this undertaking are-
1. The supply of local railway accommodation to the important
districts embraced by the line.
2. The benent of railway communication with the metropolis to a
district of country upwards of 50 miles in length at present unprovided
with that accommodation.
3. The completion of the chain of railway communication between
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.
Commencing at the town of Northampton, in conjunction with the
London and Birmingham, and the lines of railway proposed to con- I
verge at that town from Cheltenham, and the west from Worcester I

and from Warwick, the line 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 to pass. It will then proceed, also, in a direct course to 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.
At Lincoln the line will fork, and proceed on the one hand in a
northerly direction to the flourishing port of Gainsborough, 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 rect and uninterrupted chain of commu-
nication will be established between all the above-mentioned districts
and the town and port of Hull.
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 addition, 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 Itaisen, and proceed 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 their Bill, then the traffic from Lincoln 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 entire distri'd 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 successtin before Parliament.

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 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.

following Sharebrokers, of whom Prospectuses, with Maps of the

The principal object this Co mpg my has in view is, the completion of
a line of railway throughout t he entire south-Western and Eastern
Coasts of England, and it is we 11 known that coast lines of railway
invariably meet with the sup po A of Government, and seldom has
any Company come before the. F üblic with objects which are so mani-
festly to the interest of the eY.c( ntive cordially to support.
The coast line will be cow pl. ted thus, by commencing at Dover,
and using the South-Eastern tin a to a point on it beyond Folkstona,
near to Newington, from theme s it will proceed to the populous towns
and watering places of Sa idgate, Hythe, Dymchurch, New
Romney, and Lydd, and thence on to Rye; at Rye
it will join the branch m Inch the South-Eastern Company
have an Act for making from—Ashford (via Rye) to Hastings ; but
should the South-Eastern Con !pally- decline to make this branch,
this Company will then cc nt irate their line on to Hastings, and
thereby forming a junction w ith the Brighton and Hastings Rail-
way, effect the object of the 0 itipany, viz., an entire and unbroken
chain of Coast Railway fro( n Dover to Brighton, Portsmouth,
Southampton, Poole, Dorchcst r, Exeter, Plymouth, and Falmouth.
The advantages which such a line presents are too numerous and
apparent to need enumeration .

The traffic tables, got up with infinite labour and care by the
Brighton and Ilastings Coml any, show a very large remuneration
on the capital invested in, that railway, and whatever applies to that
iine of railway, applies with:egt *al, if not greater force, to a continua-
tion line from Hastings. to Dovel'.

‘. .
To the pre-eminently- important agricultural district of Romney
Marsh, this line Offers advantages which it was most unduly deprived
of by the contention, between the London . and Brighton and the
Soutl..-Eastern Cowponies, which resulted in the interest of the Lon-
don and Brighton flopping sudden; y in a terminus at Hastings ; and,
on the other hand, the South-Eastern carrying a branch from Ashford
to Hastings, thus leaving the whole of Romney Marsh entirely un-
provided with a speedy and ready mode of transit for the immense
produce of that valuable district, as well to th. east as to the west,
which are alike supplied by it wi th cattle. By this line the large and
wealthy graziers of the Marsh will be enabled to effect the object they
have had so long in view, of send ing their stock at once, in good con-
dition, speedily and cheaply to at d from the London and other mar-
kets. The line is one of singular n. cilities of construction, the whole of
the N arsh being perfectly good and sound ground for railway purposes,
and the entire absence of interposing difficulties which occur in nearly
every other line of railway will rem/ er this one comparatively cheap
in its construction.

The inhabitants of Sandgate, Bi irmarsh, Hythe, New Romney,
Lyttd, and Rye, have sprung forwat d most z ealously to support this
company, as affording them facilities they are so justly entitled, from
their position, to demand.
A most powerful company has a 'me before the public for making
a railway from Cheltenham to lit ighton, by means of which line,
and others before enumerated, a Alirect and expeditious course is
opened between the whole of the eastern, western, and midland,
ports of England, and the importan t mercantile and naval stations
on the south coast of England. •
From the estimates prepared, it is confidently anticipated that the
whole of the proposed capital will t tot be required.
The line will be twenty miles in.. length, but If the South-Eastern
Company do not carry out so mi tch of their Ashford and Hastings
branch as is between ll ,stings and Rye, the line will be then twenty-
six miles in length.
Until an Act of Parliament can. be obtained, the affairs of this
company will be under the contr. A of a board of Managing Direc-
tors, to whom power is given to al' lot the shares, and to apply the
funds of the Company in paymei St of all expenses incurred in its
formation, and in the preparation of plans and sections to be sub-
mitted to Parliament.
' ' '

.......
Power will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime is
he! eby given to the managing directory above, to alter or vary the
proposed capital either before or aftt:r allotment, and to rats; any
additional capital, to abandon any part of tl.e line, to make branch
w
lines, docks, piers,
`wharfs, or jetto s, or enter into any arrangement
with any other Company or Comps pies, and also to nominate the first
directors of the Company,
