London to These considerations have not been sufficiently kept in view by other parties who have also proposed to make a railway from Rugby to Macclesfield, but who, by deviating from the direct tract to p ursue valleys and to avoid the irregularities of the face of the country, obviously lose the advantages proposed by this Company. The Parliamentary decision on the choice of the London andßrighton Railway is a parallel case, the direct line, although presenting more difficulties to overcome, and involving a greater outlay, having been adopted by Parliament in preference to the manycompeting projects, In a more or less sinuous direction, which were at that time supported in the House by very influential parties. Mhould It be found necessary, arrangements have been made by which additional lines of ails will bo laid between Rugby and Lon don on the London and Rt r riningham Railway, whereby the surplus traffic northwards will be abundantly provided for. This line also possesses the singular advantag e of &Staling the uoil t r o port direct route from Manchester to Southampton, roktiniciatb, 4 r•Ature painted 07 no Other proposed I THE.

By adopting the Rugby and Oxford branch of the Great Western as far as Didcot, and thence the proposed Oxford, Southamp ton, Gosport, and Portsmouth line, the distance from Manchester to Southampton will be twenty-three miles less than by any other rout e and on this account the project has been warmly supported by th Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth Railway Company. The deviations from a perfectly straight line be ween Rugby and Macclesfield to avoid high ranges of hills, ornamental parks, or valuable buildings are very slight, and the line in general offers no engineering difficulties of any magnitude. The towns more directly interested as a local line are Nuneaton, Hinclley, Atherstone, Market Bosworth, Burton-upon-Trent, Tutbury, Ashbourne, and Leek. The Company has made arrangements with the North Londo Junction Rahway Company, whereby it has secured the use)); t li; statton (of the extent of six acres) in the centre of the City of London, at the bottom of Moorgate-street, which will prove of the utmost importance to this line. .

As to the traffic ou the lower portion of the line, it is evident that the vast number of merchant vessels continually detained in the Channel by adverse winds, would effect an immense saving both in insurance and time, by discharging their cargoes at Falmouth, and at once transmitting them to their destination by means of this railway; and therefore—without speculating on the extent to which the ports on either side of the great promontory of the Land's End may, by means of this railroad, attract the commerce respectively of Bristol and Southampton ; to what extent the inexhaustible mineral wealth of Cornwall, and the unrivalled agricultural resources of Devonshire may be further developed, or the genial climate of Penzance and Mount's Bay, " the :Montpellier of England," attract a larger propor tion of winter visitants—it is obvious that this line will command a traffic both in goods and passengers, from its western terminus, the amount of which may be said to be without limit. A glance at the map will make it manifest that no competing trunk line can ever be established between Tiverton and the Land's End. As between Taunton and Reading, an inspection of the map will show a vast ex , tent of midland district, - comprising rich and populous parts of So ' mersetshire, Dorsetshire, and Wiltshire, now altogether destitute of railroad - accommodation.' Recurring to the features of this project as a national work, one of the greatest in point of magnitude, of vital importance in the event of war, and of almost incalculable advantage to the general and packet commerce of the kingdom ; it May not be out of place to quote here the following expressions of Sir Robert Peel. Speaking of the project of a direct line from London to Liverpool through the Trent Valley, which bore much the same relation to the Birmingham and Grand Junction that this bears to the Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Railways, he is reported to have said :—" I consider that the com munication between the metropolis and the great outports to be not a question of hours, but a question of minutes." Of the necessity of this particular line, Parliament has already expressed an opinion ; for in the report of the Committee on the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth line, which was promoted by the Great Western Railway Company, it was stated that that Company had been required to pledge itself not hereafter to oppose a direct line to Falmouth ; and it may be further observed, that a proposed line from Plymouth to Falmouth was last session rejected, on the ground that it might be supposed to interfere with that great national object. The survey of the line has been to a great extent completed, and correct estimates of the expenditure and returns are in a state of for wardness, and the whole will be ready for the next session of Par liament. It is sufficient, as to these points, here to state that there are no engineering difficulties in any part of the line which have not been repeatedly surmounted in other cases ; that the first portion will be constructed at an unusually small expense ; that the undertaking will meet with the cordial support, concurrence, and co-operation of the landowners, and that the Directors are justified in asserting that this will prove to be one of the most remunerative railways in the kingdom. Powers will be taken in the Aet of Parliament to allow interest at four pounds per centum per annum cam the deposits, end preference in the allotment of shares will be given to time proprietors of the land through which the line will pass, amid to the shareholders in the Great Western, the Bristol and Exeter, and other railways connected with the Direct Western district.

LOCAL AGENTS. It appears that England will be divided longitudinally by four great lines of railway, which will become so many main trunks, intersec ing and intersected by numerous lines, both transverse and oblique, opening rapid and ready communication with the intermediate dis• tricts, with packet stations, and with sea-port towns. The more easterly of these, which is also the longest, originating at Newcastle upon.•Tyne, and passing through York, Peterborough, and Gambridge, may be said to terminate in London, whence all places are accessible. The second line, counting westward, is more tortuous, and has also a common northern terminus with the preceding, by which its ad vantages are materially restricted. This line, descending the Ere wash Vale, and passing through Rugby and Oxford, becomes a South ampton line by falling into the South-Western Railway at Basing stoke. The third longitudinal line, or the most westerly, is still more de fective In design than the preceding ; employing the steep and narrow railway called the Birmingham and Gloucester as its first link, it traverses nearly in a right line the least populous and most undulating parts of Gloucester, Berks, Wilts, and Hants ; and, properly speaking, has no independent terminus. A large longitudinal section of the kingdom—the West Midland district—a district inviting a similar species of accommodation from concentrated local advantages, still remains unprovided with a chief trunk line ; and it is contemplated to remedy this deficiency by the present undertaking, or a fourth longitudinal line. Adopting Birmingham as a northern terminus of the West Mid land, Manchester, and Southampton Railway, it is proposed to carry a line through or near to Stratford-on-Avon, thence between Moreton, Stow, Northleach, Fairford, Cricklade, and Swindon, where it will merge in the South and Midlands' Junction Railway. The length of the proposed line will he about sixty miles, and the district traversed by it is gently undulating and densely peopled. At its southern terminus, Swindon, It becomes identical with th:. South and Midlands, by means of which it opens a snnct direct communica tion hitherto su:,gested with the harbours of Weymouth, Christ church, Poole, and Southampton. At its northern terminus, Bir mingham, it communicates with a series of lines, projected, in pro gress, or completed, which will form the most direct line that can ever be constructed between the southern ports of England and the great manufacturing districts.

No part of the British dominions appears to present greater natural facilities for their construction, or to afford a better prospect of return for the capital required to be invested. From the time that the island was ceded to the British Crown, at the peace of Amiens, it steadily advanced until the abolition of slavery, when it sustained a severe check, in common with the other colonies, though its production was not diminished In the same pro portion. The fertility of its soil, and the high wages of labour, have since that period attracted emigrants from all parts, and especially from the other West India Islands—so that cultivation has been gradually restored, as will. be seen by the official statement of exports. And, according to the census lately taken, the population appears to have increased in the same period fifty per cent. As the arrangements now made for encouraging immigration pro mise to bring a large accession of labour into the colony, so there is every probability that its production will be progressively aug mented. It may be doubled without any addition to the existing establishments: and it is capable of indefinite extension, there being still in the possession of the Crown upwards of a million of acres of the finest virgin land within the tropics. With the increase of popu lation, and the prosperity of agriculture, there would of course be a corresponding increase of traffic. In forming a system of railway communications which will suit the present condition of Trinidad, and which will yield an immediate re• turn, it is, therefore, desirable to contemplate their gradual extension with the advancement of the colony. An outline of such a plan has been submitted to the Secretary of State for the Colonies ; and, although no conclusive arrangement can he made without the assent of the Legislative Council of the island, Lord Stanley has intimated that "he is willing to give every en couragement he can to the proposed undertaking, consistently with his duty of watching over the interests of the colony, and that be will recommend the subject to the favourable consideration of the Local Government." Under this recommendation it is expected that a great part of the land, as well as all the timber, which may be required for the con struction of the railways, and the works connected therewith, will be obtained gratuitously from the Crown ; and it is also confidently be lieved that individual proprietors will in like manner grant the land for the lines that may intersect their estates. The precise course of there lines will depend, in some degree, upon this encouragement. It is further anticipated that liberal grants of Crown lands, contiguous to the railways, will be made in connexion with their progressive extension. These concessions, while justly madein consideration of Important public advantages, will be of great value to the Company, both im mediately and prospectively. As the Company will be able to conduct the transport of produce, and the conveyance of passengers, at one-third, or even one-fourth, of the present expense (which appears to bo from three to four shillings per ton per mile), with the additional advantage of cer tainty at all seasons, and protection from waste and plunder, there can be no doubt that their railways will command the whole of the existing traffic in the districts which they are to traverse, as well as any increase which may arise. It appears that a single line, with passing places, sufficient to ac t;oni mita t four-iltlib: of tie! cultivated parts of the colony, may be constructed for the amount of capital now proposed ; and upon a careful examination of the probable revenue, the Provisional Com mittee are satisfied that it will yield a large return, proposed that the Engineer of the Company shall proceed forthwith to Trinidad, accompanied by an adequate number of Sur veyors, for the purpose of surveying the intended lines ; and that no plan gall be finally adopted until he makes a detailed report.
