NOTTINGHAM, VALLEY of BELVOIR,
and GRANTHAM RAILWAY.
A Company Is in course of formation by the local and canal Interest
for the purpose of carrying forward t e proposkld Manchestk r and
Nottingham, Erewash Valley, and Amber Gate Railway to Grantham
via Bingham.
This Railway will traverse a large and populous agricultural dis-
trict, connecting it with the great coal and mineral field of Derbyshire
and Nottinghamshire, and will offer the shortest practicable route
from the Eastern Counties to Manchester, Liverpool, and Holyhead.
Proposals will be made for uniting this Line with that already pro-
jected, called the Nottingham, Erewash Valley, Amber Gate, and
Manchester Railway, and of the Canal interests along the route of
the projected Railway.
There is every reason to believe that the traffic will be abundant
and remunerative, whilst its construction will be below the average
cost.
A preliminary survey of the Line has been made, and a Prospectus
will shortly be issued.
Communications on the subject may be addressed to Messrs. Ostler
and Sons, Solicitors, Grantham ; and Messrs. Percy, Smith, and
Percy, Solicitors, Nottingham.

U LVERSTON, FURNESS, & LANCASTER
and CARLISLE RAILWAY.
(Registered Provisionally.)

ENGINZEIIB—JOSeph Locke, Errington, Esq.

M.In;t.C.E

Sommoss—Messrs. Clay and Swift, Liyerpoel ; Messrs. Rawsthorme

and Swainson, Lane Aster.

This undertaking, in connexion with the Lancaster and Carlisle
Railway and its tributaries, will bring the important mineral, agri-
cultural, and grazing districts of Furness and West Cumberland (hi-
therto for the most part isolated) into immediate and direct commu-
nication with the manufacturing districts of Lancashire and York-
shire, and will form a continuous line of railway between the east
said west coasts, viz.: from Hull and the other neighbouring ports on
the Baltic to Whitehaven and the other ports on the Irish Sea, and
it will afford the only safe and sure means of transit, irrespective of
tides, from the town and port of Ulvcrstoq with Lancashire north
of Sands, to all other parts of England.
The line is intended to diverge from the Lancaster and Carlisle
Railway, near Jlilnthorpe, which, admitting of a near approach to
the foot of the Lakes of Winandermere and Coniston, may be deemed
the most eligible route to Ulverston.
A preliminary survey has been made, and it has been ascertained
by the engineers that the line may be so coustracted as not to affect
injuriously the residences or ornamental property of the land-
owners in the district.

A detailot prospectus, with the names of a Provisional Directory,
will shortly be published, and in the meantime further information
may be obtained from the solicitors.
