BANKERS.
London:—Messrs. Masterman and Co.

Wolverhampton.—The Bilst6n District Banking Company

Yarmouth :—Messrs. Gurney and Co., and Messrs Lacon and Co.

This proposed important line of Railway is intended to
commence at the Central Station at Wolverhampton,
(prom which place lines are projected to Shrewsbury and
Wales,) and to proceed by the Grand Junction, and a line
of Railway to Walsall, from thence through or near the
important and improving Towns of Sutton Coldfield,
Atherstone, Hinckley, Market Bosworth, Leicester. Up-
ningham, Stamford, Peterborough, Wisbeach, Swaffham,
East Dereham, to Norwich, where it will join the Nor-
wich end Yarmouth Railway.
The line will pass through a very populous Mining,
Manufacturing, and Agricultural District, and in lieu of
the present very circuitous and expensive route, it will
provide the shortest and most advantageous communica•
tion between the Western Midland, and East rn Counties.
As this Railway will be a direct line from Wolverhamp-
ton to Great Yarmouth, and pass through the Midland
and Eastern Counties, it is apparent that the Western,
Midland, and Eastern Counties will obtain a direct com-
munication with each other, effecting a Grand Trunk line
communicating from East to West through the centre of
the kingdom ; and not only will the Commercial and
Agricultural interests benefit by this great undertaking,
but the important Iron Districts of the Counties of Staf-
ford and Salop will derive great advantages from the con-
venient and extensive new Mart which will be opened for
their valuable Minerals ; in short, it will be the means of
conveying into the Mining and Manufacturing Districts
a greater supply of Corn and Cattle, arid into the Agri-
cultural Districts Merchandize. Iron, and Fuel, and ena-
ble the Eastern, Midland, and Western Counties of Eng-
land to exchange their respective Manufactures and Pro -
dare as well with each other as with Ireland, and the
Midland and Western Counties to reeeice from the Ports
of Liverpool, Wisbeach. and Great Yarmouth. the imports
from the Continents of Europe and America more speedily
and at a much cheaper rate than at present.
The commercial advantages and great facilities which
the Ports of Wisbeach and Great Yarmouth offer to the
Merch.int and Manufacturer evidently point out the ne-
cessity for a more direct communication between the East
of England and the Midland, Western, and Northern
Counties than is at present afforded. It. is unnecessary to
point out the obvious advantage which the whole Manu-
facturing and Agricultural Districts in those Counties will
derive from having direct access to such Ports, which must
become, by their contiguity to the Flemish and Dutch
Coasts, the chief medium of transit to those parts of the
Continent.
The position of the Ports of Wisbeach and Great Yar-
mouth -bows that they are most con, enienrly situated for
connecting the Northern, Western, and Midland Counties
with the Continent north of the Tex-l.
The Merchants and Inhabitants of the Eastern Ports
are now confident that Wisbeach and Great Yarmouth
will become the great channel of commercial intercourse
between the Northern, Western, Midland, and Eastern
Counties of England and the Continent of Europe; and a
Company is being formed for the Establishment of Seam
Picket Communications between those Ports and the
Kingdoms of Bigium and Holland.
It is unnecessary, with regard to such a line of Rail-
way, to give speculative details of Passenger and Goods
Traffic, and which may be neci scary where the remunera-
tive amount is questionable. Tile main feauture of this
line of Railway is the establishment of a direct communi-
cation between Ports and Mineral Districts, the traffic of
which it is known will be very great. It is sufficient to
state, that it pro nines to be equal to the traffic of the most
profitable lines in the kingdom.
It must also be obvious that the intermediate traffic be-
tween the several Towns in a line passing through Central
England from West to East will he very considerable, and
additionally remunerative to a Railway Proprietary.
In the allotment of Shares, a preference will be given to
Landowners on the line, Merchants and others locally in-
terested ; also to Directors and Shareholders in Railways
connected with this undertaking.
The line will be supported by powerful local influence,
and the interests of Noblemen and Gentlemen whose pro-
perty is affected by it will be in every way consulted.
Until the Act of Parliament is obtained, the affairs of
the Company will be under the Control of a Committee of
Management.
No Subscriber will be answerable for more than the
amount of his Deposit until the Act is obtained, and then
not beyond the amount of his Subscription.
Applications for Shares may be made to any of the So-
licitors; or to the following Sharehruhers, of w hum plane
