The proposed line (which forms part of the scheme of the South
Midland Railway) and is a continuation of the Northampton and
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 are considered favourable to the project, and the promoters
have every reason to calculate upon a most highly remunerative re-
turn on the outlay.
One-third of the shares will be reserved for the shareholders in the
South Midland Railway Company, and a preference will be given in
allotting the residue to parties locally interested.'
For further particulars the public is referred to the prospectuses,
which may be obtained of the solicitors or local agents, and Messrs.
Carden and Whitehead, Threadneedle-street, London ; James Pear-
son, Birmingham ; William Mason, Bradford ; Messrs. Tate and
Nash, Bristol;_ William Lee, Cheltenham; Collinson and Flint,
