Health is a great blessing to those who can enjoy it, but to

On the first application to Parliament for the construction of
this Railway, the Midland Company were large Shareholders

and being otherwise interested, ft was not thought advisable to
incur the expense of making a separate Station, Wharfs, &c.
&c., at Nottingham, and therefore no powers in the original
Act were taken for that purpose; but as that Company subse-
quently withdrew their connection, your Directors under the

u. Luc ritui-yearly lueeiing, in reuruary lass, appneu
to Parliament to deviate the Line, and by increasing their
powers to secure an independent position. •
As the Company's Trains would have to pass over the Lincoln
Line about two miles, the Midland Company had the power to
charge after the rate of six miles. To be relieved from that
heavy Toll was another important desideratum—and though

the Company by the purchase of the Nottingham Canal, had tile
best depot for the accommodation of the Town of Nottingham,
yet no independent access was secured

advantage of the Company. After the Bill had been introduced
into Parliament, the Midland Company met your Directors in
a very liberal and friendly spirit, and after some negotiations,
an agreement was entered into under the Corporate seals of
each Company, by which the Midland Company consented to
repeal so much of the Lincoln Act, as enabled them to charge
the six miles rate, and a clause to that effect has been intro-
duced into their amended Act, by which this Company pay a
mileage only. They have also agreed to provide the necessary
Stations and other accommodation for the. Passengers and
Traffic, both at Nottingham and Amber Gate, the extent and
terms to be arranged by a Director appointed from each Com-
.

In consequence of this agreement, your Directors only pro-
ceeded to obtain powers for the construction of the branch to
the Canal Wharf at Nottingham, which they have obtained, and
over which the Midland Company have power to run their
Trains, on payment of Toll.

importance and advanfage to the Company. The most conve-
nient Stations and ample accommodation for Passengers and
Merchandize will be provided, both at Nottingham and Amber
Gate, and the saving in the outlay of capital, as well as time
and the convenience to the public will be greatly effected. As
r. the Traffic in Coal, Corn, Cattle, and heavy Goods, according

to the estimates pioved, 'will be very large' the advantage oli:
tamed by the possession of the Canal Wharf is of the first
consideration, as it gives to this Company the best Trading

position in the Town of Nottin

The future prosperity and almost vitality of the Line were
most severely attacked during the last Session of Parliament,
by the Great Northern and Eastern Counties Companies. The
former projected a Line from Gosberton on the Boston loop, to
Hougham Mill, North of Grantham ; and the latter projected
a line from Spalding to Newark, each of which were parallel
to the Eastern portion of your Line, and if either had been ob-
tained, would have diverted a considerable portion of the East-
ern Traffic. The Great Northern and East Lincolnshire, also
introduced other Bills, the effect of which, if they had not been
defeated, would have been to destroy your proposed Station at
Boston, and render the branch to the Quay, at that place,
almost useless—The Great Northern also by another Bill to
effect a deviation of their Line near Grantham, made another
attack upon your Line at that place, which would have been
most prejudicial had it been successful. In accordance, how-
ever, with their duties and the active vigilance your Directors
have ever endeavoured to exercise in protecting the interests of
the Company, they offered to the several Bills every legal oppo-
sition, and they are happy to say with the most complete suc-
cess, having thrown out all the Bills except the last, which was
so modified as to make the Junction at Grantham more advan-
tageous, and at the same time more independent—Clauses have
been inserted in that Act empowering. the two Companies to
make a joint Station, and also empowering the Great Northern
to use a portion of your line on payment of an Equitable Toll.
These attempted projects are conclusive that in the opinion of
those powerful Companies, the district is important and capa-
ble of developing a large Traffic, and by the success attending
the exertions of your Directors no part of that district has been
infringed upon—all that the Legislature granted has been pre-
served intact.

- In thus defeating aggression your Directors have not refused
friendly alliances when they would conduce to your interests—
They are happy to say that the best underst nding now exists
between this Company and the Eastern Count7ff. Infixing. the
Station of their .VVisbeach and Spalding Line, at the latter place,
they have adopted your site, and an agreement has been entered
into for the construction of such Station at the joint expense of
the two Companies, and the alliance has further been strength-
ened by arranging for an interchange of traffic, and running of
Trains, between Grantham and Spalding, and Spalding and
Wisbeach, the terms and details of which are to be settled by
arbitration. This agreement will promote alike the facility and
convenience of the public, and the interests of the Company,
and may ultimately lead to a more intimate union, and which
Agreement will be submitted t the Special General Meeting,
