The Railway is intended to commence at tke Richmond Branch of the Great North of England Railway, and to proceed by way of Middleboro, Kettlewell, and Gargrave; to a point on the extension of the Leeds and Bradford Railway, between Skipton and Colne, with such additions thereto as may effect the most direct communication with Manchester. This proj..ct will effect several objects of great public importance. It will supply the most direct and shortest railway communication between the manufacturing district of Lancashire and the ports of Neweaiile, Hartlepool, and the free port of the Tees; effecting a saving in distance of about 60 miles, and a consequent saving in the time of transit. A_Mn, this undertaking will afford the advantages of railway connnunicatiou to au extensive district at present wholly destitute of both railways and canals, and supply coals from the Durham coal fields to the district on its route. Iron, stone, lead, blue lime-stone, and flag - 4, are found in great abundance on the line of the intended Railway, which will largely develop the mineral resources of the district. _ Applications for Share; may be made in the form annexed to the Solicitors and the following SharPbrukers _ _ York, Messrs.

Evening .. 58 minutes after 6 z,ECOND EDITION Otrninghim LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 26, 1845. The House of Lords did not sit. The House of Commons met at Four. The South Wales Rfflllvvay Bill was, after a short con versation, ordered to be referred back to the Committee, leave being given to the Committee to sit on Monday next. Mr. Sergeant MURPHY'S motion for the recommittal of the Wexford and Carlow Railway Bill was withdrawn after a short conversation. Mr. COBDEN then brought forward his motion for the appointment of a Commission to inquire into the relative merits of the broad and narrow gauges. The motion, which was seconded by Mr. M. PHILLIPS, and acceded to by Sir G. CLERK, on the part of the Government, was agreed to. The Lunatic Paupers Bill passed through Committee. On the Report on the Statute Labour (Scotland) Bill being brought up, Mr. SMOLLETT moved the re-committal of the Bill, fur the purpose of adding certain clauscs. After a short discussion the Bill was re committed, several new clauses were added, the House resumed, and the report was brought up and agreed to. The House then resolved itself into Committee on the Dog Stealing Bill. The second clause, inflicting a penalty of 201. for a first offence of dog-stealing, and transportation for a third, was opposed by Mr. WATSON, on the ground that the pucishn►ents were too severe, and supported by Mr. C II RTEIS. Mr. LIDDELL proposed to alter the penalty for the second offence from transportation to a fine of 201., or imprisonment, with or without hard labour, provided it did not exceed eighteen months. After some further observations the amendment was agreed to. On the question that the clause, as amended, stand part of the Bill, Mr. HAWES moved the omission of the clause. The Committee then divided, when the numbers were—For the clause, 33 ; against it, 6 ; majority, 27. The clause, as amended, was then agreed to. The remaining clauses mere agreed to after some little discussion. The House resumed, and the Bill was reported. The House then reso'.ved itself into Committee on the Smoke Prohibition Bill, on the motion of the Earl of LINCOLN. The several clauses were, after some discussion, agreed to, and, the House having resumed, the . report was ordered to be brought up on Friday next. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and he House adjourned at twelve o'clock. The debate in the House of Lords on Tuesday night, on the Tenants' Compensation (Ireland) Bill, was at once entertaining and instructive. We have no wish to speak invidiously of Irish landlords. Their conduct has been, no doubt; in former years very highly culpable i but we are strongly impressed with the belief that, as a body, they are now, and have for some time past, ex tensively improved both in the discharge of the duties exacted by the relations in which they stand to their tenants,'and their own personal deportment in the dis charge of their duties to society in general. And at all times, both among her native proprietors and her Eng lish owners, she has reckoned individual landlords not to be surpassed for intelligence, steadiness, and liberality by those of any other country in Europe. Among all political parties and all religious persuasions these excellent examples have been found. The Presbyterians of the north, the Roman Catholics of the south, the Protestant aristocracy of England, the ancient nobility and gentry of Ireland, have, in many instances, shown a degree of patriarchal kindness to their tenantry—cousulting and providing for their wants, aiding the improvements of their homesteads, building chapels and schools for them, cutting and improving roads fur their accommodation, and at heavy charges to themselves—which may well be allowed to be set against a large account of bygone generations of delinquent latidlotds. St 11, it must be allowed that these have been, and are, but brilliant ex ceptions to a general rule, tried by which, the majority ( f Irish landlords are certainty far behind the great bulk of the same class in England. And this proposi firm we think we can establish by a very simple test. The principle that the tenant who has but the usufruct for a limited term of that property which his landlord holds either for a much longer term, _ or abso lutely in fee, should receive compensation for such per manent improvements as he has made in that property during his tenure of it, is one of simple equity, to put it at its lowest value. It might also be shown that it is also one which it should be the policy of the State to encourage. It seemed somewhat strange on Tues day night to find so many Peers, Irish landlords, con tending, on their own behalf and that of other Irish landed proprietors, that this equitable and politic prin ciple would be ruinous in Ireland. It seemed some what remarkable to find such a combination of opponents to the measure as the Marquis of LONDONDERRY and Lord DIONTEAGLE, the Marquis of CLANRICARDE and Lord BEAUMONT. We greatly doubt whether any English landlords of large possessions could be found, who would venture to denounce so fair a principle, when affirmed on the part of English tenants. Why, then, should that which is fair, equitable, and expedient quoad the English tenant, be treated otherwise than expedient, equitable, and fair in respect of the Irish tenant ; and with rtgard to the former Lord CAMPBELL expressly affirmed that the principle of English law was decidedly in favour of this principle of the Bill. We could understand the opposi tion of the other Peers to the Bill, if it had rested on Lord CAMPBELL'S assumption that the chase to which he particularly adverted was so worded that it would make compensation compulsory on the landlord, even where the tenant had made alterations, &C., which were decidedly prejudicial to the property. With submission to the Noble and Learned Lord these would be very : Irish" ca ses o f i mprovements i n d ee d , an d i t i s on l y f or improvements" that the Bill proposes to secure com pensation to the tenant, In his reply Lord STANLEY appears to have completely disposed of this objection by showing that the details of the meas ure bad been so prepared as to guard against sanctioning such an abuse. • And we must remember that Lord STANLEY'S authority in support of this Bill is to be taken quite apart from all political considerations ; because, much to his honour, he is well known to be one of the ~-.-.-C most popular and considerate landowners in that part of Ireland in which his estates are situatk d. We are quite satisfied, upon the grounds assigned by many Peers in this debate, that the Bill requires and will receive important modifications in Committee. But on the best consideration we have hitherto be, n able to give to the question, we do not see the fora , of the Mar quis of SALISBURY'S objections to have the clause com pulsory on the landlord. Certain we are, that if in other remedial measures intended, honestly enough, as we believe the present one to be, for the benefit and social improvement of the Irish people, their principle had been made compulsory on the landlord, the tenantry of that country would never have been in the melancholy condition in which the mass of them have so long been plunged. Besides, if the principle of compensation to the tenant for improvements effected by him in the property be sound and just, why should the landlord, who intends to act honestly by him, object to its being compulsory upon him to administer it ? The right of the landlord to prevent projected improvements, where he may show good ground to the Commissioner or other authority under the Bill, for anticipating that they will be too costly, or otherwise objectionable, will no doubt be provided for by the Committee on this Bill For our own parts, we quite enter into the wish ex pressed by the Duke of RICHMOND, that the same prin ciple should be extended to the tenant in England and in Scotland ; which was the best answer supplied, in the course of the debate, to the question put by Lord CLAN RICARDE-Why the clause confining the operation of the Act exclusively to Ireland should not be omitted. We hope and believe that this is not the only fruit we are to expect from the Tenure of Land Commission in Ireland, over which the Earl of DEVON presided. But we are far from disposed to undervalue i 7, taking it even upon its own isolated merits. It must be evident to every dispassionate mind which has addressed itself to the domestic condition of Ireland since the commence-r ment of the present century, that much of the ill feeling that has existed there against the landlords has be. n owing to the cruel manner in which compensation for actual' expenditure on the permanent improvement of the lands leased or rented by them has been habitually with held. We are bound to add, that we look upon the Bill as another earnest that the Government is seriously set ting itself to the task of redressing practical grievances in the state of Irish society by practical means. The Irish Colleges Bill, as amended by the Commons in Committee, has just been printed, and now appears in a very complete form. All reasonable objections made to it by the Catholic prelates as regards religious education and the undermining of the faith and morals of the students are entirely obviated. Lecture rooms are to be assigned for religious instruction; no student will be allowed to remain in any of the colleges, unless he shall dwell with his parent or guar dian, or some near relation or friend, or with a tutor or master of a boarding-house licensed by the President of the College; and it shall be lawful for any person having the power to make an absolute disposition of his property to convey lands, tenements, or any estate therein for establishing and maintaining lectures, or other formstof religious instruction for the use of students, subject Of, course, to such regulations as may be made by the governing body of the college, and approved by her MAJESTY, as Visitor. If religious instruction therefore is regarded by Mr. O'CONNELL and Sir RonEwr INGLIS of such vast importance, they will have them selves only to blame if ample provision is not made for that purpose, for if they are sincere in their opposition to the measure, and would exert themselves as good Christians, they could raise by subscription in one year sums which would amply endow teachers of divinity for all the colleges. The Government affords them every facility, and the vote of the house of Commons for the other objects of these institutions is so liberal, that they cannot with a serious countenance complain. A grant at once of 100,0001. has been voted by a large majority for erecting the buildings, and also the annual sum of 21,000/. (7,0001 for each) as salaries to the president, professors, librarians, &c., as well as for burses and prizes to the pu- ils. The collages are to make reports of their proceedings every year to her MAJESTY, and copies of these reports are to be la d before both Houses of Parliament. The safe arrival of the noble" Great Britain" steamer at Plymouth is, in all respects, an era in the history t.f what may be justly termed " Scientific Navigation." The triumph of steam as a motive power, of the Arehi medean screw as a propelling machinery, and of steerage over masses however ponderous, and displacement how ever extraordinary, may be considered to have been ac comrlislied in this trip. She moved along the weters like a thing " instinct with life," and incorporated with the element through which she won her rapid but ma jestic way. In the whole annals of the noble art of ship building nothing approaching to her colossal proportion-, has yet been attempted, and the symmetry of her model is as perfect as that of the best finished and smallest of the pleasure yachts through which she threaded her course. This mighty bulwark, moreover, an swers her helm with such singular facility and truth, that even her mar.ceuvring bids fair to prove as transcendent and unrivalled as her enormous length, her six-fold roasting-, and her combined capacity for tre mendous armament and stowage. Leaving her arma ment for future notice, we will illustrate the two other points we have thus noticed by stating that, prior to taking up her moorings, her captain brought her head round to precisely the position which six minutes previously had been occupied by her stern, describing in this beautiful evolution a circle little ex ceeding in its diameter her own length. Her run, iadeed, is enormous, being 274 feet, but it is associated with the salutary qualification of unusual width of beam. Its breadth is in the proportion of between one filth and one-sixth of this length. Its tonnage far exceeds that of any ship whatever known to be in existence or to have been ever built. This seems the proper place to notice what we apprehend must be an error in the important Parliamentary Paper (No. 349, H. C., of this session), the contents of which we noticed the other day. Under the column giving the date " when built," we find against the Great Britain the year 1843 ; and under the column headed " tons " those figures are repeated. What her registered tonnage may be we cannot certainly state ; but, if our memory serves us rightly, the transposition of these fi4ures, so as to bring the 1843 to 3481, will give a much more adequate notion of her real capacity. In order to judge how fer the working power is competent to the mass to be moved, and, therefore, of the effective proportion of what may be culled her material force to her bulk, we may fairly take a mean between these two estimates of to nage according to the Parliamentary Paper (doubtless an incorrect one) and of her real capacity. Let us suppose this mean to represent 2,000 tons, and the power will be the equivalent of about one horse to every two ton-. If the tonnage be taken at 1843, the power is of course still greater. In either case this is a formidable proportion ef power to tonnage—always hearing in mind, that as the rate of tonnage increases the proportion of horse-pow er must, from various causes, necessarily diminish. It is to the credit of the Bristol builders—if they needed any praise to eke out the paramount celebrity they have so justly acquired by the construction of the Great Western and the Great Britain—that their steamer cratt is generally remarkable for this same important element of efficiency, the nice adaptation of these two conditions. The pro p •rtion or horse power in the Great Western is still higher-400 to 679 tons. In that very fine steamer, Liverpool built, the Hindustan, it is less, being 400 to 971 tons. She, too, is 217 feet and a half long by 35 and a half broad—a proportion of about one• seventh in width to the length. But among other Bristol craft of smaller dimensions, especially the tugs, we find an enormous increase of power in relation to burden. The Star, of 140 tons, is of 120 horse-power ; the County of Pembroke, of 70 tons, 90 horse-power ; the Tiger, 42 tons, 60 horse-power ; and so on. But besides tugs, there are other steamers built at the same port, as the Swift, of 100 tons, 100 horse-power ; the Phoenix, 134 tons, 110 horse-power. The Great Britain, in addition to her overwhelming superiority of dimensions and power, has approved herself in speed an unequalled steamer, and finally, she may be fitted for forty guns of heavy metal. It is really with feelings of national pride that we contemplate the auspicious commencement this master piece of naval architecture has made of the long, useful, and prosperous career, which we trust she is destined to fulfil. She is >t worthy guarantee that the old Eng lish supremacy on the seas, through whatever vicissi tudes of improvement and extension the noble art of navigation way yet have to pass, will be vigorously as serted sled maintained by the sagacity, the sp . trt, the liberality, and the native tendencies of the national genius to maritime pursuits and ship-building. Long may that spirit and those energies be developed in the same direction. Long may those tendencies continue for the advancement of British greatness and prosperity, the extension of British commerce, the diffusion of Bri tish civilization, arts, and institutions, and the conse quent welfare of the world at large. when they confidently anticipate that Quen CHRISTINA wilt arrange all matters to their satisfaction ?

This appears to be a very exciting subjen, for nn sooner is Otaheite mentioned than three or four speakers of the Opposi:ion demand to be heard, and, in due order, attack the Go vernment for want of spirit in submitting to the whims of a Queen of savages, and allowing the KING to lower the dignity of France by inditing an epistle to such a Sovereign. The Ministerial Globe considers such lan guage on the part of Frenchmen very ungallant. "M. DE MALLEVILLE and M. BILLAULT," it says, " I ave shown themselves very susceptible as regards the Royal dignity. They cannot comprehend that the KING of the FRENCH should have written to Queen POMARE, who obstinately refuses to reply. They forget that Queen I'oMARE first wrote to the KING of the FRENCH, and that the KING had simply to reply to her letter. Does not the politeness of the members of the Opposition go so far as to reply to the letters which are addressed to 'them ? • Does M. DE MALLEVILLE who, it is said, is very gallant towards the ladies, think it is civil not to reply to a Queen ? We are certain that M. DE MALLE VILLE would reply to the most humble grisette, and even pay the postage of his letter. Why, then, may not the RING of the FRENCH be as polite as M. DE MALLE VILLE ?" The Const;turonnel has the weakness to ad vert to these " puerilities," as one of the journals de scribes them, in a serious light. Had the discussion been about the ejection of MEHEMET ALI from Egypt, or the division of the Turkish empire, M. THIERS' editor could not have been more solemn. Ile thus writes:—"Facts speak for themselves. M. DUCHATEL had the unfortunate notion of referring to the origin of these questions, covering himself with boastings of the past against the hum Nations of the present. The effect produced by this sitting was grand and profound. The Chamber do not stagger, as it was hoped it would, under the faults and weaknesses of the Govern ment. It indeed seamed to grow younger and m re vigorous on the ncital of these faults and weaknesses ; while the, anxiety depietei by -the countenances of the Ministers announced that the future appeared to them in dark and dismal colours. The ridicule of all these overtures, these actual supplications, to Queen POMARE, will not efface- the feeling of all the humiliation which France has suffered from this affair." The rage for railway speculation in France appears to be on the increase ; and the precincts of the Chamber of Deputies are so infested with the parties interested, that a formal complaint was made on the subject by the Marquis DE LARUCHEJAQUELIN on Tuesday. " The Salle des Pas Perdus, adjoining the hall they were sitting in," said he, " was .bsolutely encumbered with p , r.ons totally disconnected with the Churn)), r, who assailed the Deputies, as they entered, with impt.,rtuni ties relative to the railroad Bills that were or were not to be placed on the order of the day for discuassiun dur ing the present session. Such conduct he must de•ig nate as scandalous, and he called on the President to prevent it for the future." The President, however, made no remarks, anti the Chamber proceeded to dis cuss the estimates for Public Instruction.

MODEL OF TUE BATTLE OF WATERLOO AT THE EGYPTIAN BALL.—Captain Siborne has, after great assiduity and labour, completed the model of the entire field, covering a surface of about 21 feet by 20 in ex tent, and showing the entire lines of both armies, toge ther with the Prussian division, under Blucher, at eight o'clock in the evening. The work is admirably exe cuted, and affords the spectator a very distinct and in trlligible view of what is supposed to have been the general appearance of this dreadful battle-ground when the last grand charge was made alot.g the whole line. It may be said to be a national work, and, we confi dently trust, will repay the skill and expense bestowed upon it. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The number of deaths during the week ending June 21 was . 803, show ing a decrease of 42, as compared with the previous week, and less by 160 than the weekly average of five years. The fine weather has produced a most favour able change in all the diseases of the lungs and other organs of respiration, the total number of deaths under that heed bein , only 205, while the weekly average of five springs is 267, and five years 292. The number of violent death', however, is unusually large, 31 ; and of these about 10 were fro►n accidents, from falls and in juries in the streets. 7 from drowning, 6 suicides, and 6 from burns and scalds, inc:uding the four persons unfortunately burnt to death by the fire at Raggett's Hotel. The deaths from small-pox occurred at the following ages :—two under 1 year ; four 1-2 ; three 5-10 one 13 ; one 18 ; three 20-30 ; and two 30-35 years.

THE SUN NEwsrArEu.—We feel it due to the pro prietor of The Sun newspaper to say, that the public ought to bear in mind and fully appreciate his exertions in giving early and correct information. For some time the reports in the third edition of that paper of the proceedings of the current day in the Railway Committees, and also in the lluse of Commons, reflect great credit not only upon the proprietor, but also upon all the gentlemen concerned thereon : to the former for the spirited manner in which he surpasses his Contemporaries, and to the latter for the able manner in which they carry out the wishes of their employer. Knowing something of the great expense which Mr. Young must be put to is these efforts to serve the public, we do not at all hesitate to award to him our feeble meed of praise.— Wakefield Journal.

The animals were generally of an excellent quality, and sales were effected with more than usual rapidity; so that by mid-day very few cows remained unso►d. The supply of Queys was not adequate to the demand, and a g.od many more could have been disposed of. Farrow Cows sold from Si. to 8/. ; Dairy Cows from 7/. to IW. ; and for two superior animals of the latter kind 151. each were obtained. A two-year old bull !odd for 201.

LISEL.—This was an aCtion, brought by the plaintiff, the late master of the Lichfield Grammar School, against the de fendant, the proprietor and publisher of the If 'dyer/tampion Chronicle, for a libel contained and published in that journal, of the 17th of April, 1844. The libel in question was con tained in a letter, addressed to the editor of the • Woke?. hampton Chronicle, and contained an extract of a report made to and printed by order of the Government as Minutes of Inquiries into Public Chat ities and foundations of schools, and in which was a minute relating to the Lichfield Grammar School, stating that the school was without scholars, and that it was manly at tributable to the undue severity of the plaintiff,(the master), and went on to state that his conduct had been made the sub ject of magisterial interference, and that one of the boys had been placed under surgical treatment in consequence of the punishment inflicted upon him by the plaintiff. The defendant pleaded not guilty ; an action was brought by the plaintiff against Mr. Parker, the Government printer of the report referred to, which on being called on this morning, the defendant apologised, which was accepted by the plaintiff, with a verdict for 40s. damages ; but in the present action he deter mined to go to the jury, Mr. JEavis appeared for the plaintiff. Proof of the publi cation of the libel having been given, Mr. Sergeant TALEOURD, at considerable length, and in a most emphatic and eloquent manner, addressed the jury on the part of the defendant, and contended that the plaintiff, having accepted the apology in the first action, was not entitled to damages against the defendant, who bad in fact merely re printed the libel, and that having vindicated his honour in that action the smallest coin in the realm would fully meet the jus tice of the case. The Loan Cn►gr BARON having summed up, The jury returned a verd►ct for 501. damages, 40s. CO3tS.

This well-known society held a grand miscellaneous flower-show yesterday, at the Surrey Zoological Gardens. These gardens have been for many years the chosen spot for the exhibitions of this Society, and horn the various attrac. lions they present, appear peculiarly adapted to this species of display. Three large marquees, occupying the most pro minent situation of the grounds, had been erected for the • reception of the plants, which comprised every kind of gera nium, rose, pink, cactus, &c., in almost endless variety. The specimens sent in by the competitors for the various prizes were of the first-rate order, and must have greatly puzzled the umpires to have decided which was entitled to superi ority. Among the prizes awarded were :—To Class the First, private growers—For the best collection of miscel laneous plants, gold medal—Mr. Young ; second ditto, large silver Victoria medal—Mr. Hamp. For Pelargoniums, in collections of eight varieties, large silver Victoria medal— Mr. Foster. For roses, in collections of twelve varieties, large silver Linnasan medal—Mr. A. Parsons ; second ditto, small silver Victoria medal—Mr. Davis ; third ditto, small silver Linrrean medal—Mr. J. Bruce ; fourth ditto, small silver Minerva medal— Mr. Bridges. For ranunculus, in col lections of twelve varieties, large silver Lintisean medal—Mr. R.

For pinks, in collections of twelve varieties, large silver Lin nwan medal—Mr. Blest; second ditto, small silver Victoria medal— Edwards, Esq. ; third ditto, small silver Minerva medal—Mr. Proctor, sen. In class two, for nurserymen, ten silver medals were awarded for the best collections of miscellaneous plants, pelargoniums, roses and pinks. In class three, eleven other silver medals were awarded for orchidaceous plants in flower, vegetables, &c. ; in this class, which was open to private growers as well as nurserymen, a gold medal, an extra prize, offered by James Coppoek, Esq., was awarded for a collection of ripe fruit. Besides these, other extra prizes were offered by members, and awarded by the Society. In the course of the day his Royal Highness ihe Duke of Cambridge and suite, the Bishop of Lslorwich, and s• veral other members of the aristo cracy, honoured the gardens with a visit. In the evening the usual grand display of fireworks took place. The gardens were crowded with a very fashionable company. APPALLING CIRCUMSTA , CE.—A coroner's inquest vas held on Monday last on the body of William Wallace, who was shot by his master, Mr. John Hamilton (of Drumads, near Coagh, a most respectable and influential farmer for upwards of 20 years).

TLE AND EEIVATICX I;LILILVV.taIt. The Committee on this scheme assembled this mor..ing in the Cout t of Chancery, as the Lord Chancellor was not sitting. Mr. AUSTIN opened the case on behalf of the promoters of the line. Having given a general description of the line and its advau taf;es, with which the public is well acquainted, the Learned Cumin, proceeded to say that the principal opposition to the scheme before their Lordships would be from the promoters of the atmospheric principle, but he would urge that, even if it could be proved hereafter, when the atmospheric system had been Ml ciently tested, that it was preferable to the present system, it would be very easy to assimilate the line to Mr. Stephen son's plan. The principal argument in favour of the atmospheric principle was its comparative economy in point of working. It was said it could be worked for one par/ a mile, while the present system cost from tenpence to a shllia‘ per mite. If it s su p er i o r c heapness should be hereaft er proved, t would be very easy to adopt the principle. He would appeal ti the opponents whether they would persist in their opposition, as it would only be wasting the time of the Committee. The Lea rned Gentleman concluded his address by stating th at he would proceed to call witnesses to prove the traffic, the nature of the country through which the line would pass, and the engineering points. (LEFT SITTING.) LEEDS AND WEST RIDING 31TNCTION RAILWAY. The Select Committee to whom this line has been referr ith ed the - assembled at the usual hour this morning, and proceeded w opposition to the scheme. Mr. Vignolles, one of the engineers of the London and DV' mingham line, proved that the gradient, curves, and stations were most objectionable. They might be rendered more favourable The without any difficulty, and at a trifling expense' station at Bradford would stand upon an unnecessary high elevation, and would, in his opinion, render a junction with the Leeds and Bradford Valley line, and other lines running to the north and south of Bradford, almost impossible. wo uld On cross-examination he admitted that an improved line have a good deal of tunnelling and cuttings, an d the works, frogsrip the nature of the country, must necessarily be of a costly dc tion. He thought, how t ver, the additional expense was M i l justified, and wou b,! . Mr. G. Parker Bidder, well laid the out O em i ne nt civil engin eer, had P mined the country through which the proposed Wcsi 11 1, 0 ing e s were to run and had been personally over them. Ln ei "' --r ws' 1 point where , all the tra ffi c would have to centte and diverge. an d °. course the station and gradients there ought to b e made as Wen'. able and convenient as possible. The existing traffic between I.ood moor and Bradford was 285,000 tons per ann unh tons 75,00 n the traffic from Bradford to Lowmoor w as pro per annum. The traffic likely to come u p on posed railway was 500,000 tons per annum from 5 ,,,,„ or. t H o Bradford, and 117,000 tons from Bradford to if) e - ° too e therefore thought a gradient of 1 in 70 between thos e He therefore thought a gradient of lin 70 betwee n flidifl places ought not to be tolerated. The cost of the West Jo w l would be very much increased by its with th e n u pon Leed e high level, and the cost of their junction with the Bradford line would also be increased by that circumstance. think ot ad these facts into consideration, he did line n e ver t he the increased cost of an imp roved eU West Riding would be mere tha n 50,000/. The et uh.. at Bradford, he agreed with the former witness, waa or .

The gradient on the itni it e woud be 1 in 132, but on the West Riding Ju n c t i on loc o. would be l l in 70. He estimated, therefore, that the cost o fora motive power for working the expected traffic would he t . m et the me t 11,0001. to 7,0001. per annum more on the latter than line. The station at Halifax was very much lower than it u to be, because the population of that town high level.
