ACTING ENGINEER—Richard C. Carpenter.
, SECRETART—E. Jones, Esq.

The port of Boston affords the readiest outlet for exports front the
manufacturing districts to the north of Europe, and the importance
of direct communication from the midland counties to a place so ad-
vantageOutily sifnate cannot be over-estimated.
Leicester has, or shortly will have, direct communication with
Birmingham, and all the other important towns in the midland
district.
The Midland Railway Company is extending the communication
to Melton Mowbray, by means of its branch from Syston to Peter-
borough, which passes through that place. There is also a complete
line of railway about to he established from Nottingham, through
Grantham and Folkingham, to Boston, as well as to Spalding, Wis-
beach, Lynn, Yarmouth, and other important towns in the eastern
counties.
The Leicester, Melton Mowbray, and Boston Direct Unto" Rail-
way, by forming a iine'frem Melton Mowbray to Folkingham, will
supply the only link wanting to complete a direct through communi-
cation from Birmingham, Warwick, Worces'er, Coventry, and the
manufacturing districts generally, to Boston, as well as by means of
existing and projected railways from Wales and the Bristol Channel,
I. that seaport.
The lenvh. of the proposed line will not exceed twenty-six miles;
and as it will pass through a country irery favourable for engineer-
ing purposes, the expense of construction will, it is expected, be les4
than the usual average. The admirable position of this railway can-
not fail, it is confidently expected, to command a large return, both
in passengers and in goods traffic.
The Company will be in a situation to deposit the Parliamentary
Plans and sections in ample time for complying with the standing
orders, and enabling theta to apply for their Act in the ensuing
session.
