The proposed line (which forms part of the scheme of the South

Peterborough branch of the London and Birmingham Railway, will
connect by the shortest route, the following important towns, viz.:—
Boston, Lynn, Yarmouth, Norwich, Ely, Cambridge, Huntingdon,
Peterborough, Bedford, and Northampton, with Banbury, Evesham,
Worcester, &c.; with Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, Exeter, Ply-
mouth, Weymouth, &c.; with Hereford, Swansea, Milford: Haven,
Fishguard, and the whole of the South of Ireland ; and with Oxford,
Salisbury, Southampton, and Portsmouth ; and will also connect Co-
ventry, Warwick, and Stratford-on-Avon, with the whole of the be-
fore-mentioned places, thereby in effect accommodating a population
of several millions.
The line presents no engineering difficulties. The landholders
generally aro considered favourable to the project, and the promoters
have every reason to calculate upon a most highly remunerative re-
turn on the outlay.

South Midland Railway Company, and a preference will be given in
allotting the residue to parties locally interested.
For fu-ther particulars the public is referred to the prospectuses,
