The object of this line of railway is to connect, by a direct route,
le important town and seaport of Boston with the centre of Eng-
and, by way of Grantham and Melton Mowbray, where it will join
;he Syston and Peterborough branch of the Midland Counties Railway.
It is nanecessary to enlarge upon the advantages which will arise
from this railway, which passes through one of the richest and
most fertile parts of England. The population is dense, and a
glance at the in•tp will show that this line is well laid out, net
only for the direct traffic from Leicester and the intermediate
places to Boston, but also for the general traffic which will be
brought to this line by the several railways which will be connected
with it.
By this railway-, which will be about forty-four miles in length,
and laid through a country nearly level, it is intended to pass by or
near Swineshead, Douington, Folkingitam, Grantham, Stoke, Roch-
ford, and Melton Mowbray. It is evident that this line will he of
great convenience and u ility, by affording to a part of the country
at present deprived of it the advantage of railway communication
with the counties of Itutlandshire, Leicestershire, Northampton-
shire Warwickshire, &c., and thus connecting the agricultural
districts of Lincolnshire with the manufacturing parts of England,
affording to the latter an easy and accessible means of export for
their manufactures.
In the allotment of shares, holders in the Midland Counties Rail-
way will receive a preference, and reservation will be made for the
landed interests along the line, whose concurrence and assistance is
fully relied on by the promoters, by whom most of the influential
landholders have been canvassed ; and, in order to prevent wines-
sary trouble, no other applications will be ree,ived. except those
wherein reference is made to a member of the ProvislansiCommit-
tee, to the Solicitors or Bankers, or the following SlWirebrokers,

inhabitants of the clothing districts previously mentioned will bar
the readiest access to the Leeds markets and to the country north
of Leeds.

By a junction at Cleckheaton with the Bradford and Dewsbury
branch of the West Riding Union Railway the present scheme will'
give to Halifaic and its populous neighbourhood the shortest railway
communication with Dewsbuty, and in connexion with other pro-
posed lines with Barnsley, Ite.
..The same junction at Cleckheaton will give to Bradford and the •
important iron works at Wibsey, and Low Moor, the nearest route to
Selby, Hull, and the east ; consequently this railway company may
fairly lafclahn to carry a large portion of the raw material and ma-
nufactured productions, used and produced in that densely-
portion of Yorkshire. peopled

From a point on the main line at or near Soothiii, it is intended to
make a branch to Wakefield ofabout-five.rifile3 down theAlVerthcrpe
Valley, there to join thepontefract and poptg,_the, Wakefield branch..
Of the London and York, and the Midland Railways. It _is evident,. -
therefore, that the proposed railway.and its intended'branch (aided
by the West hiding Union line between Bradford and Cleckheaton)
will provide the shortest route hitherto projected from Halifax and
Bradford to Wakefield, Doncaster, and the eastern counties.
From Halifax to the proposed junction at Methley the distance will
be about nineteen miles ; and, although the undulating surface of the
country along a portion of tile line will occasion some expensive
works, yet the proposed capital is amply sufficient to complete the
whole of the railway;*with its branches•and station 3. And the pro-
moters are enabled to state most confidently that the through and
local traffic in passengers, goods, and minerals, will be such as to
render this undertaking one of'the most profitable in the kingdom.
The gradients are 4f-unfavourable, there are no rivers or canals
to cross, and the projett doce not interfere with ornamented property
of any kind. si
The Parliamentarr_survey is now- in progress and will be ready
for the forthcoming session. • 3
The liability of the,shareholders will be limited by the Act of Par-
liament to tile amount of their shares, and power will be taken to
allow interest at 4 per cent. on all deposits and calls from the time or
payment to the opening of the line.
A more enlarged prospectus, together with the names of an inflne.n-
tial Provhdoual Committee, will shortly be published; in the mean-
time, every information may be obtained of the solicitors, to whom
application for shares may be made in the subjoined form. A pre-
ference will be given in the allotment to landowners on the line and
