the result. and
tfihoeurrelbsyhisnagvina
The distance from Lincoln to Sheffield by this line will be forty
miles only, whereas the nearest route by any Projected line at pre-
sent cannot be less than sixty miles,
The immediate connexion between Yarmouth and Norwich, and all
intermediate towns and cities, together with the whole of the mann-
twenty miles, as well as an enormous unnecessary
facturimg districts of Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Nottingham, and Lan-
cashire, will be highly beneficial.
The line will commence at Lincoln, at thejunction of the projected
ra lway from Lynn Regis to Lincoln, and proceed from thence
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 efrect, it will
then add anther 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 passen,er 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

lines. •
Subscribers will be only liable to the extent of their deposits.
Applications for shares to be made to Messrs. Miller and
Carr, 47, -Eastcheap, London ; W. Burgoyne Fernell. Esq ,
