R AIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. which induced us to give a preference to the Cambridge route at the other extremity, might have inclined us to recommend the adoption of the existing line into York as a measure of economy. But the difficulties of con structien at the York end of the line by no means cor respond to those of the London end ; on the contrary, the line is of remarkably easy execution, running almost along the surface of the ground, and being nearly level, with the exception of the short inclinations i cquisite to pass roads and rivers ; so that the additional cost of the independent line to York would probably not ex ceed 400,0001. By this additional outlay the following advantages would be secured :- north andAoe,ri l i The tbsrhtyi Lac, d athonw i i da t cod a gt :so n : nnfci world t i tbwhtnieeto u {imposedbetweensu wouldrhladoi rbdt ei sn H bteie u . di shortened cllglti greatly eight a een n a: d tarlyi r n G t 1 hdfiri a lfooe i et ndtfes otherwise Lincoln,becu ore miles.rwd o i u se g h u , Lin • 1. The main trunk line from York to London would be shortened ten miles. atnhni colaee2dn. 5. 3. The distance between York and Hull, and York 4. The distance to the port of Goole from all places to prising a population of 20,000 or 30,000, within a conve n c p oill rol vided, would be supplied with - railway communication. These advantages appear to us amply sufficient to warrant the additional outlay for an independent line to York ; but in addition, we may refer to the following recommendation contained in the Fourth Report of the Commissioners who inquired into the best means of rail way communication between England and Scotland, in the year 1841 : " We consider it improper that the traffic of any new line should open up •ii the York and North Midland Railway, with which se many lines are already ins:con nexion as to render delay unavoidable, and collision not improbable. In consequence of the numerous trains of luggage and passengers using this line, nearly two hours are sometimes occupied in passing over a little more than 30 miles from York." We may add, that the position of the York and North Midland line as part of the existing link of commird cation, with which a new eastern line between London and York would compete, renders it peculiarly unde sirable that any portion of this latter line should be de pendent upin a small length of the former. In the case of the Northern and Eastern line, the adoption of which to Cambridge we have recommended, the most thorough identity of interest exists between it and the proposed new lines for completing the communication northwards. But the effect would be very different of placing a short link of a few miles at the York end of this great scheme under the cantrol of a Company having distinct, and, to a certain extent, conflicting interests. For these reasons, we conclude that the chain of coin mueication from London to Lincoln should be completed by a direct and independent line northwards from Lin coln to York. The only two schemes, as we have said, which present themselves for this purpose are - the Direct Northern and the Lincoln, Leeds, and York. The former scheme has the advantage of having, as it is stated to us, a subscription deed executed for 4,000,0001. of capital, and the requisite deposits lodged in the Bank of England. Independently, however, of this consideration, there are other reasons which make it obvious that a pre ference must be given to the line of the Direct Northern. This line keeps on the west of the river Ouse, and thus avoids the necessity of having any swing bridges, while the Lincoln, Leeds, and York line crosses that navigable river twice, once near Selby, and again close to York. Where the navigation of vessels with fixed masts is not considerable, we are not disposed to think that the ex istence of a swing-bridge, under proper regulations and arrangements, is a very serious objection, and if any considerable advantage in respect of distance or other wise had been attained by crossing and re crossing the Ouse, we should have been prepared to balance these advantages against any probable amount of interruption to the navigation orio, ‘ the traffic upon the railway. But this is not the case iethe present instance; the differ ence of length of the two lines between Selby and York is not above a quarter or half a mile, and we are aware ' of no public advantage whatever which is attained by keeping on the east side of the river. This being the case, there can be no doubt that the swing bridges are in themselves a decided objection, since, under the most favourable circumstances, it is impossible altogether to avoid delay and some risk of accident. In another respect also, the Direct Northern scheme appears to be decidedly preferable. It is the only one of the proposed schemr•s which complies with the recommen dation of the Commissioners above quoted, and which avoids all interference with existing lines at York. It proposes to form an independent station for York, at a convenient spot upon the Taricaster road, a short distance from Micklegate, and thence crosses with the main line over the York and North Midland Railway, running into the Great North of England line, about a mile beyond York. The advantages of this arrange ment for all through traffic from the North are obvious, face trains may thus be run past York with no more stoppage than is required at an ordinary first-class station ~ while in case the whole traffic had to cross the York and North Midland line on a level, close to the station, where it is most crowded, the loss of time could not, under the most favourable circumstances, amount to less than twenty minutes or half an hour. With the prospect of a great increase of traffic in the already crowded York station, from the opening of the Scarborough and other lines, and with the collision of interest that must, to a certain extent, be expected to prevail among some of the Companies using that station, and whose rails are proposed to be crossed on the level, it appears to us that such an arrangement would be in the highest degree inconvenient and even dangerous. The inconvenience and delay of such arrangements upon great lines of through communication have been already felt ; and one of the great objects proposed by the Trent Valley line now before Parliament, is to get rid of the delay incurred at Birmingham in the journey between London and Liverpool, and London and Manchester. With such instances before us, it appears to us that it would be unwise to incur voluntarily a similar interrup tion of an aggravated character in the great line of com munication between London and Edinburgh. It is also highly desirable, with a view to the coal traffic from the North, that a through communication with the country to the south of York should be afforded without the necessity of passing . the waggons across the other lines, and interfering with their passenger and goods traffic. With such a communication it is confi• di ntly anticipated by the Durham coalovvners that they will be able to send their coals in large quantities down to Goole and Selby, and even into the north of Lincoln shire. For these reasons we have arrived at the conclusion that the line of the Direct Northern, north of Lincoln, affords decidedly the best means of completing the main line of communication to York ; and we are glad to be able to state that the parties themselves have taken this view, and that the Direct Northern Company have stated their readiness to enter into arrangements by which, in the event of Parlianrnt considering that the Cambridge route should' be adopted, the Cambridge and Lincoln, in - conjunction with the northern portion of the Direct Northern, woeld be presented as an integral scheme for carrying this purpose into effect. A short interval of abeut, two miles at Lincoln would remain to be filled up, lout the levels of the two lines, and the nature of the country, make it perfectly easy to attain this object, which might be done either by adopt ing a short portion of the plans and sections of the Lincoln, Leeds, and York line, or by an application to Parliament next year. Having thus stated our views with regard to the main trunk line between London and York, we proceed to consider the lateral communications which are immediately connected with it. The most important of these are the lines proposed for connecting the main line and Lincolnshire with the Manchester and Sheffield, the Manchester and Leeds, and the Midland Railways, and through them with the coal fields and manufacturing districts. Taking Sheffield as the first point, we find no fewer than five schemes proposed, with the object of extend ing railn ay communications from this town and from the Sheffield and Manchester Railway, eastwards. The Sheffield and Lincolnshire; London and York, Sheffield Branch; and Rotherham, Bawtry, and Gains borough, are competing schemes for the same Gains viz., t h at that of connecting Lincoln and Gainsboroughe with Sheffield. The same object is also attained by the lines from Swinton to Doncaster and from Doncaster to Gains borough, in connexion with the main line from Lincoln to York. The Newark and Sheffield Railway, in connexion with the Manchester, Sheffield and Midland Junction (er Sheffield and Chesterfield) effects another communica tion from Sheffield more to the south, with Notting hamshire and the south of Lincolnshire. Of these lines we may assume that a com munication between Swinton and miry is indispensable. It affords the shortest and best communication between the two main lines of the Midland, and of the London, Cambridge, Lincoln and York Rail e ays, connecting the important town of Doncaster with both. Also it affords a short rcute from Lincolnshire to Manchester, by the Barnsley Junction, and Sheffield and Manchester Rail by Midland, and Manchester and Leeds lines. A nd wars, and to Leeds, Wake field, e nd the West Riding, what is even or mere importance, it gives a direct out let from one of the best Yorkshire coal fields, thatof Silkstone, to the east and south. We assume, therefore, that this communication is one which, under any circumstances, is necessary to be made. It may be effected either by a branch from the main York line to Doncaster (there to meet the Swinton branch of the Midlands) ehich the Direct Northern Company offer to pledge themselves to make, and which f the branch of the Lincoln, Leeds, and York line, or . y adopting the Midland line from Seinton to a junction with the Direct Northern at or near Gainsborough. The might be obtained by adopting the plans and sections b e latter alternative would, on the whole, appear to us to be preferable, supposing the Midland Company to be wil t ling to offer satisfactory guarantees for the fair and un- REPORT OF THE RAILWAY DEPARTMENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE ON THE SCHEMES FOR EXTENDING RAILWAY COMMUNICATION BETWEEN LONDON AND YORK, &c.

In recommending this route we are further fortified by the consideration that it has already rtceired, to a certain extent, the sanction of the Legislature ; the preamble of the Northern and Eastern Company's Act, passed in 1836, reciting, " that the making of a Railway from London to Cambridge, with a view to its being extended hereafter to the: Northern and Eastern Counties of England, would be of great public ad vantage ;" and the Commisioners who- reported in 1841 on the best means ctf Railway communication be tween London, Edinburgh, and Glasgow, further state their opinion, " that the period is not .far distant who, a new line will be formed to York, passing near Cam bridge, Peterborough and Lincoln."

On the contrary, the proposed branch from the Northern and Eastern line at, Hertford, would, at a com paratively-moderate expense, afford a communication for II itchin anal Biggleswade with London, which would admit of an easy extension, if required, to Bedford, where it would meet the branch to the London and Bir mingham Iteilvvay, which is evidently required to give' Bedfordshire an outlet to the West, although the Lon don awe York line, with its Bedford branch, should be constructed. The Ely and Bedford scheme also pro poses, by an easy line, to continue this communication northwards through St. Neat's and Huntingdon ; by which combination the three counties of Bedfordshire, Hertford hire, and Huntingdonshire would be provided with railway communications both towards Londan and to the North, and the manufacturing districts. We have some doubt bow far the traffic of these counties may be able to support even this comparatively inexpensive scheme of communication ; and partly on this account, and partly because we think that any lateral communication between Ely and Bedford cannot be properly decided upon until it shall be ascertained what trunk line is adopted, we are disposed to recom mend the postponement of this scheme until a future period ; but we may- refer to it here, as showing that schemes are already proposed for the accommodation of i the intermediate district, and that the adoption of the Cainbridge route by no means implies the exclusion of this district from the advantages of railways. We have now arrived at the first distinct and definite result of our inquiry, viz. that Cambridge ought to be selected as the starting point to the new line to the north. This almost necessarily implies a preference of the Cambridge and Lincoln scheme to Lincoln. It might be possible indeed to form a combination of the Cam bridge and Lincoln with the London and York scheme, by which the northern portion of the latter was adopted from Peterborough. The same objection, however, which has appeared to us to be fatal to the southern portion of the London and York scheme, viz, that it involves great additional cost without adequate result, applies here also. By the double line or loop, the London and York scheme requires the construction and making of 156 miles, partly of difficult construction,- to provide for the same traffic, which would be accommo dated in some respects better, and in others almost equally well, by about 100 miles, all of very easy construction, of the Cambridge and Lincoln scheme, with its proposed branches to Boston, Stamford, and Spalding. For Lincoln and Gainsborough, the Cambridge and Lincoln scheme appears decidedly the best, since—it places them on the main line of communication, in steed of upon a subsidiary line. For Lincolnshire, south of the Witham, this scheme also appears to be prefer able, since it runs through the heart of the county in the line of the principal population, between the two rich agricultural districts of the Uplands and the Fens, and giving bra , ches down to the two shipping ports. The lines of the London and York schemes, on the other hand, just skirt these districts on their extreme verge ; and the Fen line, by keeping on the bank of the Witham Navigation, confines its benefits to the districts which are already . provided by water commu nication. The amalgamation of this navigation with the Railway, is also a measure of doubtful policy as re gards the public, who are thus deprived of whatever be nefits might have been expected to ensue from compe tition, and, as regards the Railway . Company, who will either have to pay interest on an unproductive pro perty, or to encourage the canal traffic at the expense of that of the Railway. For Boston and Spalding, the London and York scheme is perhaps preferable, since it places them on a through line ; but, on the other -hand, having.regard to their cliaract , r as shipping ports for the export and import trade of the rich agricultural districts be hind, it may be questionable whether a scheme, which supplies them with branches into the interior to a main line, through the heart of the districts with which they are principally connected, may not be better than one which merely connects them with one another by a through coast line. For Lincolnshire, north and east of the Witham and Fosse, neither scheme affords much accom modation ; but the Great Grimsby - scheme, to which we shall afterwards advert, and which is proposed for the accommodation of this district , conne cts itself equally well with e i t h e r. The only clear advantage, therefore, as it appears to us, that is obtained by the London and York scheme, by the construction of fifty-six miles of additional railway, is the superior accommodation afforded to the towns along the Old Newark, and East Retford. The population of these towns respectively is— Nortleroad, Grantham, Grantham 8,786 Newark 10,218 East Retford 2,650 and they are places of consid era bl e t ra d e in corn and malt, principally with the manufacturing districts. Newark, the most important of these towns, will, how ever. be provided with an outlet by the proposed Not tingham, Newark, and Lincoln line ; and by the projected Newark and Sheffield line, continued , as is proposed, to join the Cambridge and Lincoln line at Sleaford, it would obtain very direct communication both with Sheffield, Manchester, and the North, with the nearest shipping port, Boston, and with London. Grantham also might be connected with this line by a short and easy branch, and thus all thq principal ob jects of the direct line of the London and York scheme attained, in connexion with the Cambridge scheme, at a tithe of the expense. On the whole, therefore, we aro decidedly of opinion that the London and York scheme, in its central portion between Peterborough and Bawtrv, affords no such ad vantages over the Cambridge and Lincoln combination as to compensate for the expense of constructing and work ing so many miles of additional railway. We are also by no means satisfied that the practical effect of the "loop" or second line might. not be to neu tralise much of the advantage promised by the direct trunk line, since, in order to avoid the expense of sepa rate trains following each other at a very short interval, there would be an inducement to detain the through train at the far junction in order to add to it the carriages of the train which had parted from it at the other end, and run round the loop. . Having thus arrived' at the opinion that the Cam br.dgo and Lincoln line deserves a preference up to Lincoln, it remains to be considered in what manner the northern portion of the scheme may be most advanta geously completed. For the completion of the trunk line four alternatives present themselves : 1. To adopt the line of the London and York scheme, by Gainsborough, Doncaster , and Selby. 2. To adopt the line of the Midland Company , fro m L br in an co c ' h n o t f o th D o on y c , a )r s i t t er and Swinton,and Northi‘land iid and the Doncaster Railway. 3. To adopt the Lincoln, Leeds, and York line. 4. To adopt the line of the Direct Northern scheme, north of Lincoln. The two former alternatives appear clearly inadmis sible, from the consideration that they involve 'an unne cessary circuit of 8 or 9 miles out of 57. The point being once decided that the main trunk line is to go by way of Lincoln, there is clearly no sufficient reason 'for bending it so far to the west as Doncaster, when a re markably easy and level direct line can be obtained by way of Gainsborough . and Thorn. The only reason assigned for this circuit is, -that the direct line would involve the necessity of a swing-bridge in crossing the navigable river Don ; but it is stated to us that this is not the case, and that it can be proved in evidence before Parliament that vessels with standing masts have never ascended above Stainforth, where there is a fixed bridge. Even if this had been otherwise, we should not have thought, with the comparatively insignificant amount of navigation that could have been expected to ascend to Doncaster, that the existence of a swing bridge, under proper regulations, would have been an objection equivalent to that of diverting the great.trunk h m e is D si o b u le c , as o t o er le r s o s u i t t e w aF ,r p e ea r r e s so t r h t e e re d f t o o re w c i l t e h ar a ly vie t w o be to line from London to York by a circuit of 8 miles. inadmissible, save expense, by availing ourselves as far as possible of the existiug York and North 2lidland line for the through communication. In this point of view a o :EuBlde:cable saving might be effected, since the line frore Teincoln via Gainsborough to D o ncaster and Swinton 'ne • ing made, at any rate, the might be completed by the pr - neh of the York and North, Midland cpoomgaiimuDnicoaotaisoten Doncaster to h fork r..

Although this port can hardly be considered as a rival of Hull, which must, in all probability, continue to command the greater part of the extensive foreign trade to the north and east of Europe, carried on from the manufacturing districts through the Humber, it is one of considerable importance, whose trade, which has suffered much from the advan tage afforded to Hull of being the sole point connected by railway with the interior, is likely to receive considerable increase when a similar advantage shall be extended to it. For the . coasting trade especially, consisting in the import of corn and agricultural produce for the use of the manufacturing districts and in the export of coal, the port of Goole offers considerable advantages, and the trade already carried on is very extensive. . The corn market of Wakefield, which is one of the. largest in the kingdom, and the principal Ent, ep6l for the consumption of a great part of the manufacturing dis tricts, is supplied, to a great extent, by corn grown in. the counties of Lincoln, Cambridge, and Norfolk , shipped coastwise to the coast of Goole, whence it is ferwarded ! :by the Knottingly and Goole, and Aire end . Calder Canals. The quantity of grain thus passing through the port of Goole to Wakefield is stated to be not less than 15,000 quarters per week, in addition to. large quantities sent to Le ds, and in other directions. Wool and other produce of the eastern agricultural counties is also conveyed by the same channel to the manufacturing districts in large quantities ; and this im port trade is chiefly balanced by an export of coal, lime, . &c., affording return freights. Keeping these circumstances in view, it appears to us that the principal objects to be attended to in laying down a line of railway for Goole, are best attained by the - Wakefield, Pontefract, and Goole scheme. The Barnsley and Goole, and Doncaster and Goole schemes provide only for the martial attainment of one of the obi( cts referred to, viz. the export of coals. - They arc laid out principally with a view of affording an outlet from the Silltstone coalfield to Goole, and although this may be a very desirable object, it is hardly sufficient to justify the expenditure of the large,sums required, when the same object may be attained almost equally well, in addition to others equally important, by combination. The Wakefield, Pontefract, and Goole scheme, in con nection with the main line from London yin Cambridge and Lincoln to York, will accomplish the following objects :- 1. It will provide a direct and independent line for the' largest and most important branch of traffic existing at Gooks, viz. that of corn and agricultural produce to Wakefield and the manufacturing districts. 2. It will, at the same time, by its connexion with other railways, afford a good railway communication from Goolo in every direction, - viz. by the London,.. Lincoln and York line, to the metropolis, and to the north and south ; and by the Manchester and Leeds, and North Midland lines to Manchester, Leeds, Brad ford, Halifax, Sheffield. and the whole of the manufactur ing districts, and of the West of England. 3. It will thus afford a direct communication from the nearest coal field, that of Wakefield, and one only a few miles circuitous from that of Silkstone, in addition to a communication with the Durham coal field, by means of the north( rn lines. 4. It will accommodate an important intermediate dis trict, including the borough of Pontefract, with a popu lation . • of 12,000, and a considerable malting trade ; and - Knottingly, a place known for its excellent lime quarries, from which about 65,000 tons of lime are exported - annually. 5. It will afford a good connexion from Leeds, the West Riding, and the manufacturing districts, to the main eastern line from London to York, and will supply the purpose of a necessary branch from that line. These objects seem to us abundantly sufficient to jus tify the construction of the Wakefield, Pontefract, and Goole line, the estimated cost of which is only 365,0001. It is true that the same objects might be attained more economically, though less perfectly, by substituting for the Wakefield, Pontefract, and Toole line, either the branch from the York and North Midland Railway, at Brayton, the estimated cost of which is Only 105,0001, or the Leeds branch of the Lincoln, Leeds, and York line, to Normanton, in connexion with a short branch to Goole. But the former of thes' schemes would give no accommodation to Pontefract, and the intermediate dis trict, and would involve a considerable circuit upon most of the traffic in corn and coals ,to and from the interior, in addition to the delay and inconvenience of compelling . all this traffic to pass over the mo st crowded portion of the York and North Midland Railway, the inconvenience of which has been already referred to in the Commis sioners' Report ; and through the Normanton station, , which is already the centre of such a large amount of traffic, and - where the space is already limited. The other scheme of the Lincoln, Leeds, and York Company's Leeds branch , is also op en to the latter ob jection, and is imperfect for the reasons which have al ready induced us to consider the main scheme with which it is connected as inadmissible, ifiel because no Goole branch in connexion with it is actually proposed. Under these circumstances, and considering that the traffic is likely to be sufficient to support a good line to Goole, we have no hesitation in reporting our opinion that the Wakefield, Pontefract, and Goole line, appears to us to deserve a preference over the other competing schemes for that purpose. Two schemes are proposed for extending railway com munication in the northern and north-eastern portions of Lincolnshire, which, although not dependent on the decision of the main question between London and York, are in some measure connected with it ; viz.— The Great Grimsby and Sheffield, and The. Hull and Gainsborough. The former of these lines runs from Gainsborough, by Glendford Brigg, to Great Grimsby, with branches to New Holland, opposite to Hull, and to Market Rasen, while the latter runs directly from Gainsborough to• New Holland. An inspection of the map will show that these are directly competing schemes, and that the former is much more comprehensive in its object, com prising the accommodation of the important agricultural district of North Lincolnshire, and the connexion of its principal market towns with one another, with Lincoln and Gainsborough, and with the port of Great Grimsby, which is represented as capable of great improvement, while the object of connecting the Ferry, opposite to Hull, with the main, eastern liming railway, is accom plished by only a slight circuit. These considerations appear to us to be decisive, more especially as we do no t think that, owing to the interruption of nearly three miles of ferry across the Humber, and to -the great shortening in the railway communication from Hull to the south, which will be effected ' by the proposed main line . by way of Selby, any line from New Holland Point is likely to be of material advantage to the tow of Hull. The accommodation of North Lincolnshire, n therefore, appears to us to be the main object ; and as this is much better effected by the Grimsby line, which is likely to afford great benefits to an important district, while, at the same time, there is fair reason to hope, from the estimates of cost and traffic, that it will be able to sup port itself, we have to report our opinion, that it appears to its, upon public grounds, to deserve a preference. With regard to the lateral corn munications further to the south, we have already stated our reasons why the • Branch of the London and Birmingham Bailee) , to Bed ford, which at a slight cost, the estimated capital being only 125,000/., affords a communication both with Lon- • don and Birmingham, and the manufacturing iistriCts, appears to us to be unobjectionable on public grounds ; and also why the Branch from the Northern and- Eastern line at Hertford to Hitchin and Biggleswade would appear, in the event of the rejection of any trunk through that district, to be deserving of sanction. The Ely .and Bedford line, projected in the same district, appears to us to be one which at some future period may be required, but which can hardly be considered at present until the main question of the trunk lines in that quarter has been decided, and a sufficient time has elapsed to consider the effect of that decision ; and we therefore recommend its. postponement. The only remaining lateral schemes are those of the • Midland Counties from Nottingham to Newark and Lincoln, and Syston to Peterborougi'. We are not aware of any opposition, on public grounds, to either of these lines, and they are calculated to afford considerable local accommodation to the din- , tricts traversed ; more especially in the conveyance of corn and agricultural produce , a nd of coals. When lines of this description are thus proposed, for the ao commodation of an unoccupied district, by an existing Company, with ample resources to ensure their com pletion and efficient working, and when, as in this in stance, they interfere with no other existing or pro jected Railway, we are aware of no public reasons which should lead us to report them undeserving of the sanction of the Legislature. There are some points of detail connected with the passing of the Syston and Peterborough line through The town of Stamford, and the direct c rossing of public road t here on the level, to wh ich we beg, howev a er, to the attention of the Committee on the Bill ; and also to the mode of effecting a junction with the other lines,in or near Peterborough. We now proceed to recapitulate briefly the conclusions at which we have arrived, and the leading results, with reference to a great national system of railway commu nication, which we have had in view in submitting for the consideration of Parliament the recommendations contained in this Report. The adoption of the Cambridge and Lincoln, and nor thern portion of the Direct Northern lines in connexion with the line of the Northern and Eastern, which will shortly be opened to Cambridge, and with the Totten ham and Farringdon-street Extension, will afford an in tegral and bidependent trunk line to the north, which, having regard to gradient s, i s p robabl y as short, in point of time, as could possibly be constructed ; with a first-rate metropolitan terminus ; passing through the principal towns on the eastern side of the kingdom be tween London and York, by the route, the first stage of which has been already sanctioned by Parliament, and which has been always considered as the most natural and desirable. By this line, from the completion of the portion as far as Cambridge, and from the extreme facility of execu tioe of the rairrintler, all the public advantages that can reasonably be anticipated from economy of construction A ill be iustirel. The completion of the whole under taking within a moderate period, and whatever may be the state of the money market, or rise in the price of labour and iron may, from this c heapness of con of str peruc tion, be rendered certa in by he iroduction pro clauses. The existence of the undertaking in a state of in...lepcndetioe, affording to the public whatever benefits Loudon uor thwards, and from e.couel trunk lice from Lull& may be justly expecte d to result from the existence of IL 5- the indirect effecte of competitiou, will be also rendered i o u e l d e d l ent ssib e ly ap b: bl t e he of c ear ase ry, if ameucelsxpmeilosrieveprbobeaeblwe a t s h s a a n ne c t o }rig at low fares and sustaining comon. At the salike impeded transit of all traffic to and from the east over this and their existing line on moderate terms. This communication being effected, it seems very questionable whether any of the other lines, proposed for the same object, of connecting Sheffield with Lincoln and Gainsborough, is required. The Sheffield and Lincolnshire line is 527 miles in length, with an estimated capital of 700,000/. ; and, with the exception of accommodating the two small towns of Worksop and Eest Retford, it appears to offer no very decided public advantage beyond that of affording a communication between Lincoln and Sheffield a few miles shorter than by the Swinton route. It does not appear to U 3 that this is a sufficient object to justify the outlay of such a large capital ; neither do we think that this line, if sanctioned, having to compe t e with the Swin ton, the Newark and Sheffield, and other lines of Rail way, and with the Chesterfield Canal, to which it runs nearly parallel, would be at all likely to afford an ade quate return. The same observation applies to the Sheffield Branch of the London and York scheme, which is a line of an extremely expensive character, being estimated to cost 700,000/. for 20i- miles. This branch, if made, would be . in direct competition with the Sheffield and Rotherham and, the Midland's Swinton line, and to a certain extent with the proposed Wakefield Branch of the London and York scheme itself and it appears evident that it offers no sufficient public advantage to justify the outlay. If any direct line from Sheffield eastward were re quired, that from Rotherham by Bawtry, to Gains borough, would appear to be decidedly preferable. It is less expensive, being estimated to cost only 400,000/.; and, by availing itself of the, existing Sheffield and Rotherham Railway, avoids what appears, under the cir cumstances, to be unnecessary competition, as well as costly and nnnecessary interference with house property in Sheffield. It affords a better connexion, also, with the important market town of Rotherham, and with the North Midland Railway, and gives as direct a commu nication as could be desired with Gainsborough and Lin coln, accommodating the intermediate towns of Tickhill and Bawtry. This line, therefore, appears to us decidedly preferable to the Sheffield and Lincolnshire, or Sheffield branch of the London and York ; but, at the same time, we do not feel that more than one communication from Sheffield, in the direction of Gainsborough and Lincoln, is re quired, or would be supported under existing circum stances ; and for the reasons already assigned, we are of opinion that the Swinton line offers, on the whole, by far the greatest amount of public advantage. For similar reasons we do not consider that the line of the London and York scheme from Doncaster to Wakefield is required. This is also an expensive line, having very heavy works for half its length, and accom plishing no public object beyond that of shortening the distance from Lincoln and Doncaster to Wakefield by a mile or two, as compared with the route of Swinton and the North Midland Railway. An outlay of upwards of 300,0001. for this sole purpose would not seem to be justifiable, and indeed it appears to us that both this and the Sheffield Branch before referred to, are proposed mainly with a view to carrying the traffic between Lin colnshire and Manchester by an independent route, without having to pass over any immediate link in the hands of a different, and, perhaps, a hostile interest. This obliges us to refer to a question which is of the highest importance, both with reference to this and to other instances—viz., the necessity of making some pro vision by which the free transit of traffic may be secured over such intermediate links, and along lines of commu nication broken up into several portions. No provision has been made hitherto for such cases, but each Com pany has been placed by Parliament in the uncontrolled possession of powers, which, if exerted, would enable it to exact an unfair toll upon, or entirely put a atop tz, the traffic of its neighbours. There is nothing, legally, to prevent the York and North Midland Company, for instance, who hold a short link between Manchester and Hull, from imposing the maximum charge allowed by their Act of Parliament upon all Manchester and Hull traffic, the effect of which would be to give them, for the transit over about sixteen miles of railway, nearly a taifeof the total sum which the competition of canals and other modes of conveyance enabled the different Companies interested to obtain from the public for the whole 98 miles between Manchester and Hull. The existence of such uncontrolled powere, without any tri bunal to which to appeal, n order to settle any difference which might arise, has naturally led to disputes in almost every instance where Companies have been so connected, and to those disputes may be attributed a very large pro portion of the competing schemes which are now brought forward throughout the kingdom. The necessity of some provision by which Railway Companies, principally inte rested in particular branches of traffic, may be enabled to regulate the rates upon that traffic, and to send it without obstruction or delay over portions of connecting lines, upon an equitable mileage arrangement, has become so apparent, both for the interests of the public and of the railway Companies themselves, that we may venture to assume that it will be made. The present is not a proper occasion to discuss the Aetails of such provision, further than to observe that, while it will be a serious questik n for the consideration of Parliament in what manner such provision should be made, it is evident that the difficulties described can only be completely obviated by the Legislature providing in some manner or other an - effectual means of deciding differences in which the public convenience is involved, and of enforcing, either by compelling a resort to arbitration or otherwise, such equitable arrangements in regard to mileages on through traffic, to the use of the line of one Company by the carriages and engines of another, under proper regula- ' tions for safety, or otherwise, as may appear to be re quired for insuring the full, free, and unimpeded transit of traffic in every direction over the complicated net work of railways with which the country will shortly be covered. Assuming such provision to be made, the heavy outlay of capital and extensive interference with pro perty occasioned by such lines as those of the London and York scheme to Sheffield and Wakefield, would clearly be unnecessary ; although in the absence of it, there may be no alternative but to 'allow duplicate and competing lines to be made to com plete communications where portions of existing railway intervene which would answer the purpose equally well. We have thought it right to state these views, in order . . to show that in giving a — preference to the Swinton com bination, which avails itself of existing lines, we have not been unmindful of the difficulties to which such com binations have hitherto given rise, but have proceeded on the supposition that such difficuldes will be obviated in future. The next lines which we have to consider are those proposed for affording a communication from Sheffield to the south-east, in connexion with the main line through Lincolnshire, viz., the Manchester and Sheffield and Midland Junction (Sheffield to Chesterfield), and the. Newark and Sheffield (Chesterfield to Newark.) The first of these lines is proposed partly with a view of cutting off the present extremely. inconvenient and cir cuitous angle in the communication of Sheffield with the south, and partly of opening up an extensive coal field between Sheffield and Chesterfield. Both these objects appear to be unexceptionable on public grounds, and it is stated to us that the advantage to the town of Sheffield will be considerable, from the introduction of 1 a description of coal well suited for its manufactures, at reduced rates. This line is, however, in parts, of a difficult and ex pensive character; and as an isolated scheme we should have some doubts how far the traffic likely to pass over it would be sufficient to support it; but having regard to the obvious advantages which it would afford to the town of Sheffield, and to its position with reference to the Sheffield and Manchester and to the Newark and Sheffield line, which we proceed next to consider , we do not eel that we should be warranted in reporting our opinion that there are public grounds which ought to be decisive against the schemes. The Newark and Sheffield line is projected with a view of affording a direct outlet, towards Sheffield and the • manufacturing districts, for the produce of Nottingham shire and South Lincolnshire, and also an outlet for the coals of the Chesterfield, Dronfield, Mansfield, and Pinx ton coal fields, towards the east and south-east. It was originally proposed with a view to join the London and York Railway at Newark, but its promoters state that it admits of an easy extension to Sleaford, for which they would apply in a future session, which would con nect it equally well, or better, with the line of the Cam bridge and Lincoln. This line, in connexion with the proposed branch from the Cambridge and Lincoln line to Boston, would thus form a completea line oug from a Man chester and Sheffield to Boston, pg through rich and unoccupied agricultural district, and affording the shortest communication with several important coal fields and quarries of the best building stone, besides accom modating Mansfield, Newar k, and several considerable towns. NVe are of opinion , therefore, that the scheme offers considerable public advantages, and that, if no intermediate line from Sheffield eastward, between this and the Swinton and Gainsborough line, should be for the present sanctioned, a fair remuneration might be ex pccted upon the capital required for the construction of these, which W 2 consider to be decidedly the more im portant lines for public purposes. The next important question of lateral communica tions in connexion with the main question, has reference to the extension of railway accommodation to the port of 1 Goole. • Fur this object no fewer than four schemes are proposed ; viz 3.--- The Wakefiald, Pontefract, and Goole ; The York and North Midland and Goole ; The Barnsley and Goole ; The Doncaster and Goole ; in addition to a short line from Goole to Snaith, the plans and sec:ions of which have been deposited by the Aire and Calder Canal Company, who are the proprie tors of the docks at Goole, with a view, however, a 3 it is ~believed, of securing a certain control over As o ctiomned uch of n to the terminus of whatever railway may ho Goole as lies within the property belonging to them, and which may afterwards be required, may be attained better by the insertion of clauses in the Bill of the successful railway, than by the inconvenient ar rangement of placing a short link of the line _ . /7 w ,7, 6 - z 20th November 1836. 1837.
