ACTING ENGINEER—Richard C. Carpenter, Esq,
SECRETARY—E, Jones, Esq.

The port of 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 plate so 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 3felton Mowbray, by means of its branch from Syston to Peter-
borough, which passes through that place. Tkere is also a complete
line of railway about to be established from Nottingham, through
Grantham and Felkingham, to Boston, as well as to Spalding, Wis-
co
beunhtiesac .
, Lynn, Yarmouth, and other Important towns in the eastern
The Leicester, Melton Mowbray, and Boston Direct Union Rail-
way, by forming a line from Melton Mowbray to Folkingham, win
cation mingham, Warwick, Worcester, Coventry, and the
manufacturing districts generally, to Boston, as well as by means of
existing and projected railways from Wales and the Bristol Channel,
to that seaport.
The length of the proposed line will not exceed twenty-six miles;
and as it will pass through a country very favourable for engineer-
ing purposes, the expense of construction will, it is expected, be less
thau the metal average. The admirable position of this railway can_
not fail, it is confidently expected, to command a large return, both
in passengers and in goads traffic.
The Company will be in a situation to deposit the Parliamentary
plans and sections in ample time for coatplying with the standing
orders, and enabling them to apply for their Act in the ensuing
session.
