These considerations led to an examination of the country further to the northward, which, commencing at -Calcutta, was extended along the left or east bank of the Hoogly past Barrackpore, and crossing the river a little below Plbandernagere, at right angles to its stream. The line would then leave Chinsura and Hoogly on the right, and cross the trunk road to Benares, near to Mucklumpore, and from thence, nearly in a straight line, to Burdwan ; at this place it would cross the Bauka nullah, and be continued nearly parallel to the trunk road, and enter upon the hind that rises above the general level of the periodical inun dation. _ _ _ ATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUR• • AWE SOCIETY, 26, CORNIIILL LONDON. Capital £500,000. Empow,,red by Act of Parliament. This Institution embraces important and substantial advantages with respect to Life Assurances ,end Deferred Annuities. The assured has, on all occasions, the power to borrow, without expense or for feiture of the Policy, two-thirds of. the premiums paid (see Table) ; also the option of selecting benefits, and the conversion of his in terests to meet other conveniences or necessity. AsSurances for' terms of years are granted on the lowest possible rates. DIVISION OF PROFITS. The remarkable success anti increasing prosperity of the Society has e7tahled the Directors, at the last annual investigation, to declare a fourth bonus, varying from 35 to 85 per cent. on the premiums paid on each Policy effected on the Profit scale. to.—The object in making this apparent detour is, that by flanking the Durnoordur we should in part escape the water that flows towards the sea in the direction of that large river, but not be wholly free from its effects: and wherever an occurrence should hereafter take place similar to what took place during the late inundations (viz., the breaching of the bunds of the river), a considerable amount of damage would arise to the works of the railway. 11.—So long as the water is confined within the river banks, no material injury would arise to the works of the railway simply from the submersion of the country during the rains ; but upon the accident before named, the body and rush of water was so great as entirely to undermine and destroy a bridge near Dulla Bazar, and to threaten destruc tion to the bridge over the Banka nullah at Burdwan, by which nullah the surplus waters, in a great degree, found their vent towards the river Hoogly. 12.—1 n addition to the foregoing considerations, it is pos.• sible that hereafter it may be considered advisable to aban don the preservation of the river bunds, and to allow the waters during the rainy season to overflow the surrounding country, in the expectation that the sedimentary matter that is now raising the bed of the river may overspread the country, and tend to raise the general level (this has been hinted to us as a suggestion that has been made, but upon which we must be understood to give no opinion): such a procedure would have an effect upon the railway works that it is difficult to foresee or provide for, except, in all probability, by the construction of a larger quantity of viaduct for the free passage of the waters than would other wise be necessary, and thus increase the cost and mainte nance of the works. 13.—The above considerations and information obtained from Lieutenant-Colonel Forbes, Captain Anderson, &c , led to an examination of the country still further to the north ward, from which it appears that a very advantageous line of country for a railway exists on the left bank of the Hooey, and crosses that river at a short distance below where it is first formed (or takes that name) by the junction of the Bhagiruttee and Idinghee at Nuddea, from which crossing it would proceed due west, and pass about 10 miles to the north of Burdwan, near to a place called Balkesbun. 14.—This line would quit Calcutta at its northern extre mity, skirt the gun-foundry at Cossipore, and take a direct line northwards nearly parallel to the Barrackpore road, which it would cross at the bend near Barrackpore. Hereabouts a station for the accommodation of that district might be ad- vantageously established. From thence it might follow the general direction of the river, to accommodate Chinsura and Hoogly, &c., and onward by a straight course to Goonpulla, on the road between Barrasut and Ranaghat. 15.—As regards simply the construction of a railway, it might, with equal advantage to the works, be constructed in a straight line from Calcutta to Goonpulla, and thus, by avoiding Barrackpore, &c., would be a little shorter in dis tance than by that route; but it appears preferable to adopt the former line for the accommodation of that and the neighbouring localities of Serampore, Chandernagore, Chin sura, Hoogly, &c., which would then more than ever become the favourite resort of the citizens of Calcutta, and be a source of remuneration to the railway itself. 16.—From Goonpulla the line would take nearly a straight line fcrwards Ranagbat, near which it would cross the Ala - tabhanga river, and from thence proceed almost parallel to the road leading to Kishnagur, but gradually trending to the called north-west, and cross the road from Kishnagur to Santipore, near to a place called Dignagur. It would then continue to curve i until it a,which crossed ch t the sHoogly,oti the nearJ u t n o c a ti li no i nodfigt the e fa i c d t i o n r g y z bee an.] Bhageruttee, as before described. 17.—After crossing the river, the railway would be carried in nearly a straight line past Singalee, Baljoree, and Balki shure, which is the place before alluded to as ten miles north of Burdwan. 18.—The railway, if constructed by Ranaghat and Suddea, would be about thirty miles longer than by ta4ing it in the direction of Hoogly and the trunk road to Burdwan, which extra eistance, although it would tell largely upon a short line of railway, becomes of less importance when it forms part of a railway of so great an extent as the one under dis cussion (namely, to the northwest provinces, about 900 miles in length); besides which, it will pass through and accom•nodate a rich district of country, in addition to afford ing the same amount of accommodation to the Burdwan district, and in all probability would hereafter form a trunk from which branch railways will be made to those parts of India north and north-east of Calcutta. 19.-1 n furtherance of this object, we extended our exa mination in November last to the country north of Kishenu gur, through Berhampore and Moorshedatml to Bhagwan gola, with a view to a branch railway from Kislmagur to those places; and although the country is highly favourable for such a project, yet the great mart at Bbagwangola is of so unfixed a character, from the extensive and continued charging of the bed of the Ganges, that unless its continua tion northward and eastward be considered desirable, it would appear that a branch to Bhagwangola, simply to accommodate the trade that now passes along the Gauges to Calcutta by the Sanderbunds route, will not be found to answer us a commercial speculation; a permanent point, however, on the banks of the Ganges, exists at or near Rajmhal, which might be suitable to receive the great traffic of the river, and be connEcted with the trunk line a little northward of Burdwan, and be found advantageous to the general trade of the country, in like manner as the proposed canal of Lieutenant-Colonel Forbes would certainly have done, if that important work had been carried into execu tion. Such a branch railway would in no point be removed very far to the westward of the projected line of the canal in question. 20.—Also, as regards the comparative cost of the works on the above lines, we consider it would be less, mile for mile, on the Ranaghat line than on either of the others, that is in- dependent of the great bridge that must cross the Hoogly in either case, the cost of which would be less the higher up the stream it is constructed. 21.—The chief objection that appears to the above line is the fact that it involves the crossing of the Matabhanga river, near Ranaghat, in addition to that of the river Hoogly, which river must be crossed, at any rate, in order to bring the railway into Calcutta, unless it be resolved to terminate it at Howra, on the opposite side of the river to Calcutta, which would, at least, be very inconvenient for business, even supposing the country between that and Burdwan was as suitable for the construction of a railway, and offered as much general accommodation to the country, as the line further to the northward. Besides, the expense of construct ing a bridge over the Hoogly, at Calcutta, would be greater than a similar crossing sixty miles higher up the stream. 22.—With a view to the saving, if possible, of the extra bridge over the Matabhanga, which is a considerable river, we examined another line that would leave the last-de scribed line nearly opposite to Chinsura, and take a more direct course to the river Hoogly, which it would cross near the villages of Collipore, on the east side thereof, and ' Doomurda on the west, thence onward to Inchura, where it would cross a nullah, and, leaving Culna on the right, would n a a n m d e li d urr ß e a e lli n i u sli ll a a n h , s, j a o bo in u t t he te N n ud in dea us lin n e, o r n t e h a w r a t o r d t he curve to the north and west by Sacheroy, and, crossing the w ea- an. B B b e a u f u r o dhr 23.—The latter route would be about fifteen miles shorter than by the Nuddea line, but (pro rata) it would be more costly in its constructi o n, an d m i ss accommo d at i ng a very 'valuable district of country, which, in all probability, would pay for the extra length of railway. The crossing of the Matabhanga at Ranaghat, therefore, appears to be the chief consideration against the adoption of the more northern line, as compared with the line by Culna. 24.—Upon an inspection of the most eligible place for crossing the Hoogly on the Culna line, near the village of Doomurda, it also appeared that, in addition to the simple crossing of the stream, there was, on the left or east bank, a considerable extent of fiat country between the wooded elevated land and the water, which is doubtless submerged during the rainy season, and seems to be the ground through which the river has wandered in former times and lett dry, from the continued change in its bed. If this be correct, it will be necessarytoconstruct a viaduct of very great extent to carry the railway over this recent alluvial deposit, in addition to the actual bridge over the river ; ar d the uncertain expense in founding and erecting such a work in that situation is so well known that the fact need only be named to insure a dissent from its adoption. 25.—Such was our opinion formed upon the spot; but before a final decision be given upon the subject it might be advisable for the railway company who may undertake the work, to make a detailed survey and section of each line, and submit them for estimate and comparisons, as in a work of such magnitude the utmost saving of expense is desirable; but so impressed are we in respect to the public advantages to be derived from the more circuitous route, that we consi der a comparatively small saving should not be allowed to weigh in favour of the Culna line. 26.—From Balkishun, as a common point on the two northerly lines, the railway would proceed nearly direct to and cross the trunk-road at about Kagsa,where the southern or Chinsura line. after passing through Burdwan, and nearly following the course of the high road from that city, wonld be united with them; from thence it would take the left bank of the river Dumoodur, pass through the Raneegung collieries, and onward to near where the river Barrakur, joins the Dumoodur. 27.—The line will next take up the valley of the Barrakur, and follow, approximately, the course o f t h at r i ver, near ly fur its whole extent, to the summit of the country at or near the Dhunwa pass, where a very rapid descent occurs from the westernmost range of hills in Bengal to the plains of Behar. Up to near this place the gradients of the line w ill b o y eq g ob and although steeper gradients will have - . _ _______ _ , oRNING stirNl AUG UST 11, 1846. PRICE SD. to be here introduced to overcome this natural barrier, we do not expect, from the levels we have taken, they need be greater than can be worked by assistant power when the trains are heavy, and it is the only place upon the whole line where favourable gradients cannot be obtained at a small cost as regards the earthworks. 2 8.--After entering upon the plains of Behar, the line will proceed nearly direct by Stuthurghotee andNowrungabad to the Soane river. - 29.—The river Soane is a formidable obstacle to the cheap construction of a railway, being two miles and three furlongs in breadth, and the foundation, or natural substratum below (at present) an unknown depth of sand. The erection of a viaduct across this great river is, however, a matter of ex pense only, there appearing no difficulty in the case that perseverance and ingenuity will not overcome. The most suitable point for crossing the river seems to be about three miles higher up than where the trunk-road now crosses it, at the foot of the range of sand -stone hills, from which much valuable material for the structure might be ob tained, and for this purpose, also, granite of excellent quality may be quarried about two miles south-west of Nowrungabad, and about twelve miles south-east from the proposed site of the bridge. Lime also is obtainable on or near the spot. 30.—1 n the construction of this bridge, and of all others of great magnit u d e , as t h e cross i ng of the Hoogly and the Junana, hereafter to be referred to, we would recommend that they be made of ample width, not only for the railway, but also for a common highway, which may be separated from the railway by a screen of 'masonry. The additional cost of such extra width at the time of construction will be but little, in comparison with the cost of a separate structure for the public highway, and compensation might be given to the railway company for the extra outlay, either by Govern ment supplying an equivalent portion of the cost, or granting them the right of levying a toll for a given number of years. 31.—0 n the other hand, we would advise that all bridges of great magnitude erected by Government, for the purpose of any public highway, in any part of India, should be con structed of ample width to accommodate a railway also, if there should appear any moderate probability that such a work would become desirable for, or likely to be executed in, that direction within any reasonable period of time. 32.—From the river Soane, the railway will skirt the foot of the hills to the town of Sasaram, tiro miles north west, of thg...proposed bridge, and then in like man ner for about 74 miles, west by north, to the town and fortress of Chunar, on the right bank of the river Ganges, leaving the trunk-road and the city of Benares considerably to the right. This is done in order to obtain better ground for the construction of the line, and a branch to Raj Glit, oposite to Benares, 17 miles in length (leaving the main line nine miles before reaching Chunar) would answer all the purposes of that great city and the dis trict of country to the northward thereof. 33.—The railway will pass between the sand-stone hill on the south side of Chunar, which will all along furnish valu able building materials for the very numerous masonry works along the line. 34:—From Chunar to Mirzapore, a distance of 18 miles in the same direction, west by north, the line will still keep along the foot of the hills, although a little circuitous, as it will be desirable to avoid the bad ground in the more direct course. 33.—Having now explained our view as to a suitable line for a railway between Calcutta andMirzapore, we will, before proceeding further, describe the branches we should propose to diverge therefrom, to give the most extensive accommo dation to the country at large, and to relieve the traffic of the Ganges proceeding to Calcutta from its great draw back during at least eight months of the year ; namely, the circuitous route by the Sunderbunds, when the waters of the Bhageruttee are too low to admit of the more direct route from the Gauges to the capital of India. 36.—The first branch should be from a point near Burdwan to Rajmahal, along the district of country selected many years ago by; Lieutenant-Colonel Forbes for the Rajmabal Canal": such a railway will, in future, supersede the necessity for the canal, which, however, would have conferred great benefit on the trade of the country, if carried into execution When he first proposed it ; the tact that such a canal has been for many years a desideratum proves the same thing in favour of the more modern mode of intercommunication. 37.—Besides the accommodation of the trade of the Ganges, it will give accommodation to Purneah, Malda, Dinagepore, Rungpore, and the country in that direction through which it may possibly hereafter be found desirable to extend this re fined mode of transit. 38.—After all that has been stated from time to time in favour of Lieutenant-Colonel Forbes's important work, no thing more need be added in favour of a branch railway in that direction. This branch would be about 120 miles in length. 39.—The second branch we would propose would leave the main line about five miles eastward of Shuhurghotee, and pass northward through Gaya to Patna and Dinapore, thus accommodating a very important district of country, as well as the military and civil stations above named, and, on the opposite side of the Ganges, the valuable districts of Tirhoot and Sawn, &c. This branch will be found about eighty miles in length. 40.—Another branch might probably ba advantageously made from the main line, up the valley of the Soane, to the coal-fields westward of Rotasgurh, but we do not lay much stress upon its immediate formation as a branch, until it be ascertained whether or not the main line from Bombay will take that course, as it appeared some time ago probable that such might be the case. Such a branch may be found desir. able, if not indispensable, to the interests of the railway com pany, as they might thereby obtain coal for their own pur poses as well as to supply the public in that and the still higher parts of India. _ _ 7 11.—:The last branch we should propose for immediate construction on this portion of the great trunk line from Calcutta to the north-west provinces, should be, as stated in para. 32, from about nine miles before reaching Chunar to ltaj Ghat opposite Benares, a distance of about 17 miles. 42.—We have described our view of the most suitable direction for a line of railway from Calcutta towards the north-west provinces; but it may be argued that the line passes through a comparatively barren portion of the country, as compared with the valley of the great river Ganges, which has been suggested by other parties as the most eligible route for a line of railway, and which is stated to have in its favour a great probability of becoming niore lucrative than the line we have recommended. 43.—First impressions might be favourable to this view of the question; such aresult might be expected if either line was dependent only for its suport upon the agricultural pro duce and population of the district through which it passes ; but, upon turther consideration, it appears to us that the ul timate result will be tavourabie to the direct line; for, by means of its branches to Patna and Rajmuhal, it will take all, or nearly all, the trade likely to be transposed from the river to the.railway, in either case, and give nearly as good accommodation to the country around, and to the district northward of the Ganges, as Tirhoot, Purneab, Dinagepore, &c., through which it will probably hereafter be found ad vantageous to extend the railway system, by starting from the opposite respective termini at Patna and Rajmuhal, and, in addition to accommodating the trade of the river and sur rounding district, it will bring forward a country now much neglected iu consequence of its imperfect communication, a district which contains mineral wealth, and possesses great capabilities, as is evident from the proofs of recent improve ment, to a great extent contiguous to the line of the trunk road, within the last few years, a greater part of which until then was abandoned to the beasts of the forest : this great benefit will therefore be in addition to nearly the same amount of accommodation being given to the whole country as could be given by the river line alone; and, lastly, a direct line between the ex treme termini, where attainable, is always most desirable, especially in a political point of view, and in a Fountry cir cumstanced as India is. Thus much for the traffic consiclera- tions of the subject ; and it only remains to be stated that we cannot give a decided opinion upon the engineering ques tion without a personal examination of the river line. 44.—0 n the extension of the line from Mirzapore toDelhi ; but little need be said respecting this portion of the pro posed works. In length it will be about the same as that of the line we have already described, Mirzapore being about midway between Calcutta and Delhi. The direction of the line will be nearly as follows : between Mirzapore and Alla habad it will trend a little to the south of a direct line, to secure better ground for a foundation to the works. Upon this portion of the line the railway will cross the river Tounse, and, in order to extend it into the Doab, the river Jumna must also be crossed at or near to Allahabad : a suit able spot for crossing exists near the present bridge of boats : thus the military magazine at Allahabad would be connected by railway with Calcutta, and, by the extension to Agra and Delhi, with the magazines at those places respectively. 45.—Leaving Allahabad the railway would keep on the south-west side of the trunk-road to Tuttehpore and Cawn pore; from thence it might take a direct line to Mynpooree, which would be its proper course if continued direct to Delhi ; but if it be finally resolved that the line shall pass through Agra, and thence to Delhi, along the right bank of the river Altana, it would be more desirable that the railwayshould pro ceed from Cawnpore by Shekoabad to Agra, as that line would not only be shorter, but would avoid the crossing of one or more nullahs that It would have to do if taken by Mynpooree. . _ _ 46:—Supposing that its route would be through Agra, it would again cross the river Jumna at the latter city, a suitable site for which purpose would be a little northward of the present bridge of boats; and, passing the civil lines to the north of the Government olicesoind Akbarls tomb at Secundra, take a tolerably direct course through Muthra to Delhi. 47.—A suitable place for a station at Agra exists where the rails continued from the bridge would become level with the present surface of the ground, about midway between the river and the civil lines; and, if necessary, such station could be connected with the banks of the river at a much lower level than the railway, by a branch descending to t h e water's edge. 48.—Before, however, determining that the main line should pass through Agra to Delhi, it is a subject for consideration, whether or not it would be more desirable to take the line direct through Allyghur, and cross the river Jumna, at Delhi; for this purpose a suitable place for cruising the river is immediately to the northward of the palace, from whence it could be continued along the bank f the river to a station on the vacant ground at the back of the magazine; and, if necessary, can at any time be prolonged northward, past cantonments towards Kurnal. 49.—The advantages of the direct line to Delhi over that by Agra, would be, Ist., The shortening of the di s t ance between Calcutta and the frontier. 2d. Passing through probably a richer agricultural district than would be done on the route between Delhi and Agra; and, 3d. In case of in vasion from the westward, a possible, though not probable occurrence, the railway would be protected by the river Jumna. On the other hand, the city of Agra, at present the capital of the north-west provinces, with its magazine, would be less directly connected with the frontier and the magazine at Delhi, if situated at the extremity of a branch, than if placed upon the main line. The country also to the west of the river Jumna, although perhaps not so productive to the agriculturist as that in the Doab, yet is admitted to possess a very considerable trade. 50.—As respects the two routes, in an engineering:point of view there appears to be no great difference; for although on the direct line there would be the additional cost of cross ing the river Hinden (no trifling matter certainly, unless, as suggested by his Honour the the Lieutenant-Governor of the upper provinces, the crossing be effected below the junction of the Hinden with the Jumna, if the Jumna itself be as manageable there as at Agra or Delhi). The route by way of Agra would be about 20 miles longer, and conse quently. from that cause, increase the cost of construction to probably within a trifle of that direct route. 51. If Agra be accommodated with a branch line only, and that branch be terminated on the opposite side of the river to the city, it would be hiffhly incouvenieut and undesirable, •,, LON DON, MONDAY COBDEN TE3TTMONIAL SLMCEL JONES LOYD, Esq., Merman.

Report upon the Practicability of introducing Railways into Indic, and upon an eligible Line to connect Calcutta with Mirzapore and the North. West Provinces, from F. W. Simms, Esq., Consulting Engineer to the Government of India, and Director of the Railway Department ; A. H. C. Boileau, Captain Bengal Engineers; and J. R. Western, Captain Bengal Engineers, dated March 13, 1846. I.—We have the honour to submit our report upon the practicability of introducing a system of railways into India, and of their application to the peculiarities and - circumstances of the country and climate; to answer the questions relative thereto, as proposed in the minutes of the Honourable the Court of Directors of the 7th of May. 1845; and likewise to make our report, from a personal examination of the country, upon the direction of a line to be recommended for a railroad from Calcutta to Mirzapore and the north-west provinces. 2.—We would commence by stating our opinion that rail. roads are not applicable to the peculiarities and circum stances of India, but, on the contrary, are not only a great desideratum, but, with proper attention, can be constructed and maintained as perfectly as in any part of Europe. The great extent of its vast plains, which may, in some directions, be traversed for hundreds of miles without encountering any serious undulations, the small outlay required for Parliamen tary or Legislative purposes, the low value of land, cheap ness of labour, and the general facilities for procuring build ing materials, may all be quoted as reasons why the intro duction of a system of railroads is applicable to India. 3.—ln the minute of the Honourable Court of Directors of . the 7th May, 1845. the following appears in the third para graph :—" Independently of the difficulties common to tail: roads in all countries, there are others peculiar to the cliffate and circumstances of India, which may tender it advisable that the first attempt should be made on a limited scale. These peculiar difficulties may be classed under the following heads, viz. ;-Ist. Periodical rains and inundations. 2d. The continued action of violet winds, and the influence of a verti cal sun. 3d. The ravages t.f insects and vermin ins el timber and earthwork. 4th. The destructive effects of the spon taneous vegetation of underwood upon earth and brickwork. sth. The unenclosed and unprotected tracts of coui try through which railroads would pass. 6th. The difficulty and expense of securing the services of competent and trust worthy engineers. 4.—To these difficulties we beg to reply as follows: I. As to the periodical rains and inundations, we do not expect that, with a judiciously selected and well constructed line, any serious mischief to the works may be anticipated from this cause; nothing but what a moderate annual outlay will set to rights. The practi cability of keeping a railway in order is shown by the existence of bunds and roads, both metalled and unme tailed, in various parts of the country, which are kept in order at a trifling outlay. It must, however. be borne in mind, that although this opinion is based upon what we have ourselves witnessed as the effects of a season when the floods were unusually high, both in Bengal and the upper provinces, yet, in after years, unprecedented inundations may occur, causing serious damage to works . which shall have been constructed with a view to re sisting only the highest floods hitherto known. 11. The continued action of violent winds and in fluence of a vertical sun. Suitable arrangements in the construction of the works will overcome any difficulty arising tram these causes as to the line itself. These effects will be more felt in working the trains, especially the wind at high velocities, but no fears need be enter tained upon this subject as to the ultimate result, though, during the prevalence of the hot winds, more than usual attention will be requisite in watching and guarding against the effects of friction of such parts of the engines or carriages that may be exposed to the most intense heat. 111. The ravages of insects and vermin upon timber and earthwork. If the information we have received be correct, that the destructive action of insects upon the teak and ironwood of Arracan amounts to nothing, or next to nothing, that question is at once disposed of; but should further investigation show that such is not the fact, recourse must be bad either to the use of stone, or to the employment of one or more of the various pre parations for timber now in use in England, which it is probable may also be found desirable on the score of economy, to render the timber more durable. This, how ever, at present, is by no means certain ; Captain Wes. tern, who has been in Arracan, states that he would not guarantee teak as resisting damp and insects, but iron wood be knows, from practical experience, to resist both, and has seen a post taken up, after having been in the ground fifteen years, as sound as the day it was put in. To the earthwork no serious mischief is to be ap prehended from this cause, if the overseers and labourers on the line discharge their duties in a proper manner. It is true that earthworks in the upper provinces, con , structed in a loose soil, have occasionally been damaged by the undermining of rats, crabs, otters, or other bur rowing animals, but it appears that constant vigilance would provide an effectual remedy for this, as well as for the next following difficulty. IV. The destructive effects of the spontaneous vege tation of underwood upon earth and brickwork. To ob viate this evil nothing more Is required than a faithful discharge of the duties of the overseers and labourers in rooting up every germ of such vegetation as soon as it appears. Captain Boileau saggests that the attention of the persons in charge of those portions of the line pass ing through young saul forest s must be particularly di o P°!lltias trees of this ki n d, after having clear ways for tri gonom et r i ca l opera rbeecetne d e o t o t down this opera tions, have been known to spring up again an altitude of about fifteen feet in t wo y ears, and , in various parts of the country the rapid growth of palma christi (the Turut r ori , oil plant ), the gigantic reed called surkunda and andmany other such wild pro d uct i ons , may give considerable trouble, though the strong roots of the latter are admirably ada p ted for giving stability to an earthen bank. The roots of the p eepu l tree are par ticularlyV. The unenclos ed and un p rote cted tracts of country. A fence similar to our q uick fence s in England will an swer through theop en and culti vated parts of the country, ofextro extraction V. to brickwork , but are tolerably easy which may or may not be employed through the dis. t r icts covered with Jungle , as circumstances may require. Such fence may be formed of the pl an t ca ll ed berandu, or the Mysore thorn, or the prickly p ear , a ll of which, particularly and perhaps many others, if kept well tritnrued, would make a suitable f ence. In several lo calities where stone . is obtainable in a bundance, this mat erial might, and in certain cases where t he soil is t oo barren for the growth of hedges, must b e used for boun dary walls, and in the valuable for the con struction of posts an d railing. VI. The difficu lt y and ex pense of securing competent t v h ic is ini wood t of re and trustworthy. engineers. Thi s diffi culty, we ma k e no s o a d t e d rs fo i r t eststhe exceeding straightness of doubt, will be overcome by a Suitable arrangement by the railway companies, at an early period. Such, we should think, would be the sending of a few native or East Indian young men to England, to be trained, until some engines-are ready to be sent to India; upon their return in charge of such engin— e., and under the super intendence of one or two English engineers, there would be laid the foundation for the training of as many native engine-drivers as might be required. Such native youths, w hil e in England, should not only be instructed to drive an engine, but to repair them when out of order. s.—ln the second paragraph of the minute of the Honour ' able Court of Directors allusion is made to the probable re turns of merchandise and passengers ; this appears to be one of the bearings to be investigated and reported upon by us, but, front an entire want of statistical information, we are at present unable to give any opinion. 6.—With the above view of the case we should not deem it inexpedient or unwise to attempt th e intrpdnption of but if a bridge is to be constructed at Agn, at ail ststilds, iii carry the railway into the city, which It should by ail roisaiii do, then the consideration would be .greatly in favour of taking the main line by the Agra route, for the more perfect accommodation of that great t w o of Upper India. 52 . — Whichever of the two directions for the main line 214 ,between Cawnpore and Delhi be fially - fixed upon by Go- -, vernment as most desirable, the lien ea u , yficture time, be extended to Kurnal, and to the frontiii *here a terminus might be established on the highest navigable part of the Sutlej, and thus connect the great rivers, the Indus And the Ganges. .—The branches to be recommended fns constrnc. tion on this upper portion of the main line front Ca l .. cutta to the north-west would be one to Furruckabad, a second to Allyghur, a third to Meerut, and, upon the future t extension ag ao o a iy • Constructed o f th e line to fr o li in u rn t h a 1 eacosutwldarbde towards the hills on which the sanatory stations Of Simla and Mdue3: sooree are situated, or wherever else it may be fo und -sirable, Le a bnraonrll2l 54.—The first branch, or that to Fnrruckabad, would leave the main line about 60 miles north-westward of Cawn pore, and proceed direct, the length being about 45 miles from the line, through Shekobad to .Agra, and 32 miles if taken from the direct line from Delhi to Illynpooree. 55.—The second branch, or that to Allyglinr, would lead direct from Agra, and would be about 48 miles long; but if the direct line to Delhi be adopted, this branch would not be required, as the line itself would pass through Allyghur. 56.—The third branch would be from Delhi to Meerut, about 36 miles long, and which, if the main line takes the right bank of the- river, we propose should terminate opposite to the city of Delhi, as it appears to us the traffic would not be sufficient to warrant the expense of constructing a costly bridge over the river Jumna for the purpose. 57.—The fourth branch, namely, from Kurnal towards the Hills, requires no further remark at the present time than we have already bestowed upon it. 58.—1 f, however, it should be ultimately resolved that the direct line to Delhi through Allyghur be adopted, the branch to Agra would leave such min line near to Sikundra, a die tance of about 40 miles. 59.—We have given, as we consider, the leading fact s on both sides of the quest i on , necessary for the final choice of the direction of the main line; these appear to us so nicely balanced that we would refrain from making a positive re commendation upon the subject; but it called upon to state which of the two we would prefer, we should be disposed to recommend the route by Agra. 60.—The general character of the works, &c.—The heavy works upon the whole line from Calcutta to Delhi, will, for the most part, be of masonry, consisting of bridges to cross the very numerous rivers and nullahs in its course, many of which are of great magnitude, and all very considerable. The earthworks will be light, except at the summit of the country described in para. 27, at which place it may be found necessary to undertake works of a heavier kind ; but, upon the whole, it is not to be expected that there exist in the world many lines of equal length requiring so small au amount of earthwork to be performed. 61.—The great bridges comprise those over the rivers Hoogly and Soane upon the lower portion of the line, and the crossings of the Jumna, at Allahabad and Agra, or Delhi, upon the upper portion; and although these structures will be very costly, yet there is nothing in their character that can cause them to be considered as insurmountable difa, culties; the chief difficulty will be in their cost. 62.—With a view to enable contracting parties to open the whole line at the earliest period with the least possible outlay, it might be advisable to permit of the laying down, in the first instance, of a single line of railway, with all necessary passing places ; but this should. distinctly apply to the permanent way only, as the earthworks and masonry (but more especially to the masonry works) should be constructed for the reception of a double line ; this latter observation regarding the masonry should apply also to the branches, so that at any future time a second line could thereon also be applied without difficulty. The earthworks upon the branches might with safety refer to a single line only, as they will s in the branches already named, amount altogether to 63.—1 t is highly probable that a double line *grails will ba absolutely necessary upon the main trunk line at no distant period, if not required in the first instance, and therefore we would recommend, that in consenting to a single line to begin with, it should be understood to imply that such sines line is only admissi)le until the whole length is opened to the public, when a second line should be added forthwith, if th e railway com pauy be called upon by the Government to do so. 64.—We cannot but view the whole distance from Calcutta to Delhi as one line, for we are of opinion that as such it would be better worked and conducted under the mr;a a o . ment of one company than if it were di v i ded and m. the hands of more numerous bodies ; besides which, vie consider that it would also be advantageous as well as fair, that the whole should be granted to one company, i? a sufficiently sound party will come f orwar d to undertalte it, becaus e th ey would then have a great length of line for a reasonable ave rage outlay. The lower half, from Calcutta to Mirzapore, costingconsiderably above that average, and the upper half • from Mirzapore to Delhi, as much below it. 65.—We conclude by adding, that in addition to the lin e from Bombayjoining the main trunk-line between All , ,;h a b a d and Calcutta, as before alluded to, it has been suggested to us by his Honour the Lieutenant-Governor of the North- West Provinces, that a suitable line of countr:k may hereafter be found for the construction of a railway from Agra t o Bom bay ; by th ese t wo li nes, the nortt-western provinces would be effectually supplied with e _ornmunication, not only with the seat of the Supreme Government at Calcutta, but with the continent o greatf India. seaports on the two oppo s it e coasts of the (Signed) F.
