Alia a datiorfef R. Cobden, Esq., M.P. for Stockport, and,
although arilTivalid, has, in a most handsome manner, allowed
all respectable persons making application admission into his
gardens to view this rasa plant, which only throws its blossoms
once in a century;

The object of this Company Is to afford to the town and port of
Wisbech, the centre of the rich agricultural district o the Isle of Ely,
the benefit of that communlcAtion by railway of which it is now en-
tirely destitute.

This will be effected by the construction of a railway to commence
at or near the March station of the Ely and Peterborough Deviation
line, proceedLn thence to Wisbech, and thence to Sutton St. Mary,
. there forming a junction with either the East Coast or Grand -Union
Railway, or any other railway completing the communication to Lin-
coinshre, which may obtain the sanction of the Legislature. A
direct communication will thus be formed between the Metropolis,
the Midland, the Eastern, and the Manufacturing Counties.
The districts embraced by this undertaking are populous, and have
a very considerable local traffic, the population of Wisbech, St. Peter
alone, exceeding 10,000. The quantity of wheat told in the market at
Wisbech weekly averages 5,000 quarters, and the arrivals of wheat
from the port of Wisbech have in many instances been known very
materially to affect the market in Mark-lane ; in addition to which
there are extensive sales of other grain, flour, seed, wool, cattle, fruit,
and potatoes, the whole of which is exported to the consuming
markets ; the imports consisting of coals, timber, oilcakes, bale goods,
slates, sand, lime, and general merchandise. The return of the Port
dues for 1844 exhibits .125,395 tons, and these dues are rapidly in-
creasing in amount. ♦ great portion of the merchandise must pass
along this line, anti cannot fail of yielding a productive revenue.
The length of line is about twenty miles, and passes through a
country having an-evai and solid surface ; thus, with all the advan-
taees Of water and land carriage of materials, affording facilities
which will render the works inexpensive, and insure their early com-
pletion. Added to these advantages, the line will form an Integral
portion of the main trunk line with the shortest and most diret route
between Linn and London. By its connexion with the Ely and
Peterborough Railway at March, a transit will be afforded through
the Peterborough branch of the London and Birmingham to Bristol,
and the south west of England,and through the Syston branch of tile
midlands, the north west of England, with Liverpool, Wales, and Ire- -
land. will also be placed in immediate connexion with Wisbech and
its locality.

Another important feature in this undertaking is, that the serious
inconvenience felt by every class during severe winters, from the
river Nene being- blocked with ice at Wisbech (causing a total stag-
nation of the usual commerce, whilst the warehouses may be over-
loaded with corn, and the price of coals ificreascd threefold, to the
great distress and misery of the poorer classes), will, by this railway,
be entirely obviated. -

The survey has been completed, and application•will be made for
nn let in the cn3ung session of Parliament. A lar;e reser.•e of
shares having been made for existing -companies with which the pro-
posed line will be united, a limited number only are at the disposal of
the Directors.

Applications for shares in the usual form, accompanied by a refer-
ence to a Banker or one of the Provisional Committee, may be made
to the respective Solicitors.
