It is not, therefore, too much to anticipate a similar termination to the minor Great Western Railway from Bristol to London ; for, though probably it may reach as far as Bath front Bristol, after hav ing, like a mole, explored its way through tunnels, long and deep, the Shareholders who travel by it will be so heartily sick, what with foul air, smoke, and sulphur, that the very mention of a Railway will be worse than ipecacuanha, especially when the only prospect they can find the least cheering in the midst of all this derangement of thei r s t omac h s , w ill b e a gran it e tr a mway, actually in operation, alongside of their own dose of ipecacuanlia, ready to follow up the black draught, so as to get rid of every particle of obstruction with which the bottoms of their pockets might be Otherwise afflicted. Tru e it is, that though the last 40 miles from Readi ng to London will not r equ i re qu it e so much mole-like engineering as through the first 13 miles to Bath, yet for the gratification of Mr. Brunel, who may wish to tunnel more successfully for the Great Western Bubble tale ugh dry land, than has hitherto rewarded the ing enu i ty and skillt of his father through wet land, another field is open to his and dexterity in the shape of viaducts and aqueducts, th rough which ti n .

But let us look at the revenue of the waggon departmant of the minor Great Western, and the - sweets will be found still less like honey to the Shareholders. For, assuming tit=thate whe quantity of go o d s w i ll be one-third, with more half th of the ol whole dis tance cut off i n t h e middle of the line, making tiflg total quantity of conveyanc e 9,621 tons, and the gross income about 38,9001., from -which deduct expenses in the ratio of 733 per cent. of the income, 'ay 28 , 5 43/, anti the total gross profit will be 10,357 i., which) on 4 capital of 1,500,0001., the least sum requisite for such a line, is about five-eighths per cent ! In the coach department it is notorious, that there is at least one third less travelling between London and Bristol, than between London and Birmingham ; yet the Bristol Committee assert, that they shall carry 110,403 passengers in one year more than the Bir mingham Line, and 208,072 more than the Manchester Line has carried on an average for the last three years, under the authority of areturn said to be from the Stamp Office, only taking care not to produce it as the Birmingham Committee have done. In fact the blowers of the Great Western Bubble stand charged with having designedly over-credited the annual income with no less a sum than 110,403/., on the asserted authority of a return from the Stamp Office, which never has and never will be obtained. But, granting the fact to have been proved, are Steam Car riages and Canals not to carry any portion of the traffic, merely be cause they will both condescend to do it many times cheaper, long before the Railway opens? Is the Bristol Line, like the Birming ham Line, to monopolize all the traffic, even against a saving of 50 per cent. to three-fourths of the community, to whom money is more valuable than time? Yet that saving must be sacrificed alto gether, before the Bristol Railway can expect to realize more than six times the income from passengers alone, than has been made by the mostfavourable line in the kingdom. Assuming, therefore, the total income to be 493,833/. for passen gers alone, and not 604,2361., and deducting the expense in the ratio of 44a per cent. of the income, say 214,2001., it leaves a gross profit of 279,633/. ; taking therefore one-half only of this sum as a more reasonable share of the road earnings, it brings the income to 138,816/. (without allowing for any additional tax to be in a par with common road stage coaches), being on a capital of 3,000,000/. about 4a per cent. ; or, supposing the capital to be 4,000,000/., 31 per cent. ; making, in the latter case, the total profit in both de partments about 4 per cent., or less than one per cent. net profit for the whole line, supposing the bubble blowers for the Great Western Railway to carry 208,072 passengers more in one year than the Manchester and Liverpool Line, the best in the world ! whilst the petitioners themselves against the Birmingham Railway con fess, that " without indulging in any extravagant expectations, there is now every reason to hope that; within no long time, these Steam Carriages, by means of successive improvements, will be brought to such a state of perfection, as to admit of their being advantageously used upon turnpike roads, without the expensive accompaniment of a Railway." Besides, it should be borne in mind, that the Projectors have founded their estimate qn the result of the Manchester and Liver pool Line, which was tax-free for 21i months ; but after the facts disclosed in par. 93, every one must see, that no other Railway will be permitted to pocket profits at the expense of both the nation and the common road coach masters. Nor does the minor luminary from Reading to London, and Bristol to Bath, hold out any stronger inducement in the coach de partment, to throw away income, for five or six years, merely to put a fortune into the pockets of a set of crafty Projectors, who are bound hand and foot, by their own interests, to reveal nothing to open the eyes of those ,whose purses are scarcely ever free from the , fingers of one or other of the party. For, if the gross profit of 138,816/. in the coach department for the whole line be nearly correct, the proposition for the minor bub ble line, in the ratio of one-third, will be 46,272/., which, after de ducting the expenses, 44 per cent., as before, leaves a gross profit of 25,739/., being, on a capital of 1,500,000/., about 1 per cent. But what is the inference to be drawn from this last shift to the Maximum Bubble Line? The projectors must have felt convinced, that the one-eye sleepers at Bristol, who knew best how to appre ciate the minimum, never would risk a shilling on the major cheat —seeing that it must in the end be far more ruinous than any one of the 7,000 bubbles of 1825, that helped to fill half the mad-houses in London ; and consequently the blowers were well aware that they must all go out of commission, even without half-pay, if they did not beat up for recruits in other quarters; whilst, by setting fire to the candle at both ends, they speculate to lighten the darkness of their opponents so effectually, as to place nearly 70 miles of inter mediate space, at present struck out of the way-bill, in so clear a light, that the ultimate junction may be insured in self defence. For neither engineers, lawyers, nor agents will work long in good hu mour, without slipping their fingers into the pockets of the com munity ; nor is there any good reason why they should waste brains of such elastic capability, oratory, law, and *gineering, for an old song. Accordingly, a pic-nic party of Bubble Missionaries visit Reading, stick the Mayor in a chair, make him believe the moon is made of cream-cheese, or, what may be considered scarcely less absurd, that a Railroad, carried on for forty miles through a country entirely agricultural, and therefore not densely populated, would pay as much as the Manchester and Liverpool Railway, the object of which was to connect the largest manufacturing district in the world, with a port through which they obtained all the raw mate rial, and from which is exported full one-third of their manufac tured goods. For the Mayor of Reading, probably net over fond of reading statistical works, or not having Mr. Marshall's digest of 600 volumes of parliamentary papers to refer to, was not exactly familiar with the merits of the whole case, or he would not have swallowed the bait quite so greedily, though doubtless a lunatic cream cheese was a tit bit that could not be well resisted. But his eyes will now open, when he learns that a circle described from the centre of Manchester, with a radius of 30 miles, would include a population much larger, than that of London and its environs ; four times more numerous than the whole population of Bucking hamshire, Berkshire, and Somersetshire put together, and where the inhabitants feel, more than in any other district in the empire, the necessity of cheap conveyance to a port like Liverpool. For in Manchester alone, in 1824, there were not less than 200 steam engines at work, and 30,000 power looms ; and in 1829, nearly 12,000 vessels paid dock duties at Liverpool. Whereas the whole burthen calculated for the first Great Western Railway, throughout the line, from Bristol to London in waggon and van goods, is only about 28,864 tons, being 1,219,136 tons less than the annual bur then estimated for conveyance on the Manchester Line ; yet, with all this enormous additional traffic, even the latter has not made one per cent. nett profit. What then can be thought of the maximum bubble, the minor Great Western, that cannot even speculate upon carrying more than 10,000 tons at most from vans and waggons. Yet his Worship, the good easy Mayor of Reading, doubtless must have thought the cream cheese most delicious, or he never would have recommended to his townsmen the utility of a conveyance that would bring the Welsh cheeses, already converted into Welsh rab bits, as a fit companion for the Kennet ale, to be carried over the heads of blocks and sleepers, without paying toll lower down, or having anything to do with canal water. Neither was his Worship duly apprized before his taste was con sulted, that the hilly country for 20 miles to the east of Bath is from 700 to 1,000 feet high above the level of Bath, and therefore forms almost an insurmountable barrier to a Rail-road at the end of the minor Great Western Line. What chance then his Worship of Reading can have for customers, to get rid of the moonshine rab bits, time alone can tell. For Mr. Brunel, according to Mr. Cundy, the civil engineer, proposes to tunnel though these hills, and one plan is to dig a huge gutter for delicate ladies and gentlemen, of infirm mind as well as body, to be poked through all the way under the good city of Bath : for the excavation must be long and deep for miles ; and the want of air, combined with the combustion of gas, smoke, steam, and sul phur, will render the tunnel almost fatal to human existence. Besides his Worship may not see that the condensed or com pressed air in tunnels for one mile long, much less others for several miles, will give formidable resistance to the speed of the propelling engine, and train of carriages, that would require more than double the power to propel them, compared with the power on the same level in the open air; for though air shafts may be made, and other means provided, at a great expense, yet if two car riages enter at each end at the same time, the rapidity of motion would so compress the air before each of them, as to operate like wedges one against the other. Lastly, in driving the tunnels at the Bath end of the line, if only a few hundred feet below the surface of that country, it would be considerably below the level of several great springs that form the head of the rivers Isis, Kenne t, and Mon ; and, cutting across the country by such tunnels, would no doubt tap these powerful spring; ; dra►n all the high country, and convert the old road into something like a ship canal between Bath and Bristol ! so that the Granite Line Company must apply to the Humane Society to keep proper people in attendance, to take the passengers home occasion ally in warm blankets, should the Great Western only get an act to make a Railway or Floating-road from Bath to Bristol, or the for mer Company will have no chance of saving a single passenger from a watery grave.
