The port if Boston affords the readiest outlet for exports from the
manufacturing districts to the north of Europe, and the importance
of direct communication from the midland counties to a place se ad-
vantageously situate cannot be over-estimated.
Leicester has, or shortly will have, direct communication with
Birmingham, and all the other important towns in the midland
district.
The Midland Railway Company is extending the communication
to Melton Mowbray, by means of its branch from gyston to Peter-
borough, which passes throagh that place. There is also a complete
line of railway about to be established from Nottingham, through
Grantham and Folkingham, to Boston, as well as to Spalding, Wis-
beach, Lynn, 'Yarmouth, and other important towns is the eastern
counties.
The Leicester, Melton Mowbray, and Boston Direct Union Rail-
way, by forming a line from Melton Mowbray to Folkingham, will
supply the only link wanting to complete a direct through communi-
cation from Birmingham, Warwick, Worcester, Coventry, and the
xenufacturing districts generally, to Boston, as well as by means of
existing and projected railways from Wales and the Bristol Channel,
te that seaport.
The length of the proposed line will not exceed twenty-six miles ;
and as it wil pass through a contry very favurable for engineer-
perposes,l the expense of construction will,o it is expected, be less
ing
than the usual average. The admirable position of this railway can-
not fail, it Is confidently expected, to command a large return, both
in passengers and in goods traffic.
Tho Company will be in a situation to deposit the Parliamentary
plans and sections in ample time for complying with the standing
orders, and enabling there to apply for their Act in the ensuing
session.
