This Company has been constituted in Paris by the active pro-
moters of the well-known Decan's Company (for the Great Northern
and Southern line), for the purpose of tendering for the lease of the
Projected railway from Paris to Lyons.
It is confidently expected that the adjudication of the line will be
made in November next, so that, even if the Comnany should not
succeed in obtaining the lease, the .delay and loss of interest will
be trifling.
The short time, however, within which all the formalities must be
completed, renders it imperative that the subscription be closed in a
very few days ; therefore an early application must be made to en-
sure attention.
Applications fbr Shares are to be addressed to the Solicitors, 31,
Moorgate,street, and must be made by filling up and sending the
following printed form, without detaching it from this prospectus.

The first object of this line is to connect the town of Birmingham,
Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route,
and to supply as important link of communication between the town
of Spalding and the eastern coast with the Western and Midland
districts.
Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereham,
Lynn, and Dolbeach Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn,
Witham, Castle Bytharn, South Wytham, and Wymondham, to a
point on the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near Melton-
Mowbray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mid•
land Counties Railway, an almost direct route to Leicester, and
thence to Coventry and Birmingham by the proposed Coventry,
Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway.
The projected line will form the most direct communication be-
tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, and will, by
means of the proposed lines across the county of Leicester, via Bur-
ton-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincoln, Norfolk,
Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by many miles
than any other line of railway.
It will form, with other tistalected railways, an almost direct line
across the kingdom,
from Yarmouth,
to
Aberystwith, via Newton and vis Norwich, on the eas
Shrewsbury, on the west. t,
The entire length will not exceed thirty Miles. There is no tunnel-
ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary; the line
from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve miles, is very
level, and may be constructed at a small cost.
It will secure the advantages of railway communication to a tract
of country at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open-
ing out sources of trade undeveloped for want of tbe means of transit.
The central midland districts have felt greatly: the want of direct
communication with the coast; and this line will at once supply the
deficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire.
It will afford a transit for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei-
cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon
supply from the north at high prices : it will also secure the advan-
tages of an unlimited supply of lime front the Leicestershire works,
to the agricultural districts of Lincolh, Which are at present only
supplied at very high rates; and, in return traffic, the midland dis-
tricts will oktain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and
agiicultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk.
Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which is
the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, and
connected by the River Welland with the German Ocean.
The proposed capital will be sufficient for the construction of the
necessary works and every subsequent expense ; and the incense
derivable from the traffic in passengers between Birmingham, Co-
ventry, Leicester, Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Boston, tile trans-
port of cam, • cattle, and other produce of the great agricultural
districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming
districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland
districts, will be sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay.
The Parliamentary surveys have been commenced, and are now
in active progress, and contracts have been entered into which en-
sure sufficient time for compliance with the standing orders.
Forms of application for shares, plans, and prospectuses may be
had of the Solicitors ; also at the offices of the Company, 4, Tra-
falgar-square, Charing-cross, where applications for shares, accom-
panied by respectable references, may be addressed to the Prov.
sional Committee.
