This line hal for its object a direct communication between the
city of Lincoln and the populous and flourishing town of Sheffield,
and will also be the means of forming a complete line from Yarmouth
through Norwich to Manchester and Liverpool, thereby uniting the
two great ports of Yarmouth and Liverpool, whose commerce is
somewhat dissimilar, and, consequently, a reciprocal benefit must be
the result.

The distance from Lincoln to Sheffield by this line will be forty

The immediate connexion well
miles only, whereas the nearest route by any projected line at pre-
pense.
intermediate towns and cities, together with the whole of the manu-
facturing districts of Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Nottingham, and Lan-
cashire, will be highly beneficial.

ra lway from Lynn Regis to Lincoln, and proceed from thence
The line will commence at Lincoln, at thejunction of the projected
across, the country through East Retford to Sheffield, and there
join the Sheffield and Manchester Railway. Should the projected
line - from Macclesfield to Sheffield be carried into effect, it will
then add am;ther, important commercial town to those already ad-
verted to, and increase the traffic to a vast extent.
A reference to the map will readily show the great importance
and utility of such a line.
A more than usual revenue may be calculated upon in the goods
traffic from those great emporiums of commerce above alluded to,
without taking into consideration the Immense raisen 'et- traffic
which must necessarily arise upon so important a line of railway.
Every regard will be paid to local accommodation, and a close
scrutiny will convince those who are aware of the exigencies of the
towns and districts embraced within the scope of the intended line
of the advantages which must accrue from it.
Preference in the allotment of shares will be given to the land-
owners and others locally interested, as well as to the connecting
