NEWARK and SHEFFIELD RAILWAY,
and EXTENSION SCHEME into LINCOLNSHIRE.

The Committee of Management have much pleasure in announcing-
that in consequence of the great and influential support they have
received in Lincolnshire, as well as along the line of their original
project, they will be prepared to bring forward in the next session of
Parliament an integral scheme, based on the recommendation of the
Board of Trade, with good gradients, and shorter than any other line
projected or exiqing, direct from Boston to Sheffield, to be called the
BOSTON, NEWARK, and SHEFFIELD RAILWAY.

Engineers and Surveyors are now engaged on the proposed line,
and it is confidently I:oped that the enormous traffic so fully proved
and admitted before the Committee of the House of Commons, in the
case of the Newark and Sheffield Railway, and which will be so
greatly extended by the new project, will ensure success in Parlia-
ment, and an ample remuneration to the Shareholders.
The following gentlemen will be on the Provisional Committee,
which is not yet complete, but will shortly be published with a de-
tailed prospectus, and include a large number of influential parties
connected with the town ofßoston :
