The pro-rinent advantages. of this sy.tem of Atmospheric traction, are, that the continuous valve is dispensed with ; roads are crossed ucon a level without interruption of main; one atmospheric railway can be intersected by another, 'thus saving bridges, approaches; and leakage ; and a stationary engine every ten miles is sufficient. The system combines extreme simplicity with extrethe efficiency, and that obtained with a small comparative expense in working and construction. It is estimated that a saving altogether upon the other plans of Atmospheric Railways (having the continuous valve) will be nearly 3,0001. per mile ; two:mains or lines can, on this plan, be laid down for little more than the cost of one, upon the other plan. • Increased safety is insured, also obstruction and destruction by weather and other sources are placed beyond probability by 'the mains being burled, &c. The objects of the Company are to purchase the Patentee's right for the .United Kingdom, to grant J licences to Railway and Canal Companies to use the invention, or lay down the works under con tracts with the different Companies ; and, in tile fire pidce, to pro cure an experimental line in the neighbourhood of the metropolis, if found desirable. The source of income is unlimited, and the expenses, with the ex ception of the purchase of the Patents, and laying down the experi mental line, must necessarily be merely nominal.

I certainly think you have very good reason To be quite out of patience , with Winter's long season. But, Gentlemen, much briihter dim are at hand, When a beautiful Spring will encircle the land:' You asked me, you know, Messrs. MOSES and SON, To speak with the Winter, and this I have done. - • I inquired how long he intended to stay, And I said you were all in a terrible way. • I told him that birds were all' waiting to sing, And that you had prepared your new stock for the Spring. I explained that the dresses of MOSES and SON Could never be worn till the Winter is done. And when I had talked with.the King for a while, I succeeded in making his Majesty smile; • . • • And, Sirs, he assured me, before I had done, That he'd not disappoint Messrs. MOSES and SON.

AUTHORISED STATEMENT OF THE CALAMITY AND LOSS OF LIFE ON TILE SCROBY SAND, OFF YARMOUTH BEACH, On SUNDAY, JANUARY 21, 1845. TO THE NOBILITY, GENTRY, AND CLERGY, AND TO THE SHIPPING, MA UFACTURING, AND TRADING POPULA TION OF ENGLAND. It is well known to those acquainted with the Eastern coast of Vorfolk. that, during-heavy gales, the immediate vicinity of Yarmouth Roads is one of the most dangerous parts of the entire coast of England. The number of wrecks which occur on the Barber, Cross, Corton, and especially the Scroby Sands, has long ago induced a hardy, brave, and intrepid race of men to devote their entire lives to the saving of property and life along the coast. A number of boats called yawls, measuring from 50 to 80 feet long, and from 30 to 50 tons burden, have, at an expense of ttom 3001. to 4001. each, been built by the joint contributions of the ileachmen , who have f rated themselves into companies fax that purpose. With these they often leave the shore at the moat imminent risk of their lives, not only when the chance of saving property holds out to them the hope of a large reward in the shape of salvage, but with no less earnestness , and intrepidity when the only satisfaction they have in prospect is rescuing from a watery grave some,. of their fellow creattlres. On no occasion is it remembered that this noble and disinterested daring was more magnanimously displayed than on Sunday, the 26th of January, 1845, on which day, during a veryheavy gale from N. W. and by W. no less than five brigs were in distres4, four upon the Scroby Saud and one upon the Barber. In no one of these cases was there, at the time of their condition being discovered, the slightest probabi lity of saving Anything - like prdperty. Nothing, therefore, but the wann promptings of humanity could offer any inducement to the Henchmen to man their boats : yet they heSitated not a single mo ment, but at once launched their gallant barks and set forward to the rescue. • Happily their efforts, in four instances, were successful in saving all the crews. The Ca!stet* Reachmen, with their yawl, Storm, succeeded In saving the crew of the Elizabeth, of Scarborough, nine in number. The Holkham o,mpany, in their Yawl, the Red Rover, 38 tons, went off to the brig Jane, of Whitby, from which, although the yawl sustained considerable damage, they succeeded in rescuing the crew, nine in number. The Young Company, with their yawl, the Sailor's Friend, of 48 tons, succeeded, at very considerable risk, in taking off the crew of the brig. Choice, of Newcastle, also nine in number. . The Star Company, in their yawl, Phccnix, went off to the Ann, of Sunderland, from which, after splitting the stem .and carrying away the mast of the yawl, they rescued and safely landed the crew of nine men. Having thus far been enabled to record the meritorious and suc cessful conduct of these gallant men, who, in additien : to the immi nent risk of their lives, have suffered considerably in the injury done to their property—for which ne remuneration can be anticipated but from the benevolente of a British public, it remains to-relate the me lancholy catastrophe which forms the climax to this statement. The Beachmen of the "Plicenix"'having safely landed the crew of the " Ann," and being themselves much exhausted, a fresh crew of the same Company re-manned the yawl, and immediately proceeded to another vessel lying in distress'on the Scroby ; the wind was then blowing a hurricane. On nearing the vessel, they found the sea running over her, and made an unsnecessfur attempt to reach her ; failing to. do se, they let go their anchor and veered doWn ; unfortu nately the force of the sea drove the yawl upon the brig and dashed her to pieces ; when the BeaChinenwith the exception of one man (named Abraham Wetherell), who sank with the yawl—got on board the brig, whith was now drifting, and every sea breaking with tre mendous violence over her bull. t• The accident being witnessed from the-shcra several men belonging to the different Companies manned the life-boat and flew to their as sistance. The danger of all was extreme, and those on shore trembled alike for the poor fellows on the brig and those In the lifeboat. Hap pily she reached the brig though, too late for many, some of whom were carried overboard by the falling of the brig's masts, and some drowned on the wreck. Six only of the ""Phoenix's crew Were savedj; and of the brig's crew, who were in a state cf exhaustion when the. '" Phoenix" first reached ber, the whole perished. - Thus in . the noble attempt to save,the lives of their fellow - men,; seven of our gallant beachmen found a watery grave, leaving behind' theni four widows and fourteen children (ten hf whom are under. twelve years of age) totally unproVided for, as well, as the aged, mothers of the' three single men.' Their rat nes were Abraham Wetherell (leaving a widow and nine children), James Shreeve (widow and three children), chinham (alias James) Hiding (widow and two children), James Boulton (widow), Williain Warner, George Points, and James George, single men, but upon whom their widowed mothers, or aged parents, depended for subsistence. To provide a fund to,relieve the necessities of tile bereaved—to re ward the noble fellows who so gallantly risked their lives for others— to assist in replacing the serious loss suffered by the boatmen—and to form a nucleus for a permanent fluid fur the relief of sufferers tinder similar calamities in future—is the object of the' present appeal. , • Subscriptions will be received at the banks of Messrs. Barclay and Co., and Sir R. C. Qlynn and Co., London ; and at any of the banking houses in Norfolk and Suffolk. Signed on behalf of the Committee, W. HURRY PALMER, Mayor of Great Yarmouth, Chairman. Committee-room, Town -hall, Feb. 24, 1845. CAUTION TO CONSUMERS.—DRY GAS METERS. DEFRIES'S DRY METERS have successfully stood the tests six years' trial. Among the 10,000 in use, they have been adopted by the andel authorities of the Houses of Parliament, Woolwich Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office, Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other Clitb-homes, the `Queen's Theatre. Chinese Exhibition, and many otker large establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of gas have passed through some of these meters without regula tion or repair, and which• are still working to the entire satisfaction of the gas company and consumers. All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are Invited to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from the use of Defries's Dry Meter, but, to prevent the substitution of im perfect imitations, it is necessary at all times to order Defries's Dry Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his meters. Testimonials from the most eminent and scientific men and large consumers can be had on application (or will be forwarded by post), free of expense, at the Manufactory. 67, St. Martin's-lane, London.

Warehouse, 107, STRAND, corner of the Savoy-steps, London, JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en deavours made by many persons td impose a spurious article for their make, feel it incumbent on them to request the attention of the public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob serve the Name and Address correspond with the above.

The nobility, scientific men, and all who have, admit its positive superiority, and admire its simplicity. This light causes no smoke, cannot emit blacks, breaks no chimneys, creates no smell, requires no cleaning, and in its construction is so simple that any person can trim it. It is so economical that, while producing the light of two argand oil lamps, or the light of twenty candles, it costs no more than two candles. This perfect lamp fitted to persons' own pedestals, for 23 shillings, all complete. • To be seen burning at Clark's Lamp Depot, 447, West Strand (op posite Warren's Blacking Manufactory). Clark and Co. have also an unproved Oil Lamp used by the Trinity House, and all the great light houses in the world, and only just now introduced to public notice. N.H.

DREADFUL EXPLOSION AT LIMEHOUSE.—TWO LIVES LOST. On Saturday afternoon, shortly after three o'clock, an explosion of a very terrific character, and which has in volved the loss of two lives under circumstances of a most distressing character, happened at the Patent Marine Signal Light Manufactory, the property of Messrs. Rob son and Iligham, the patentees, situate on the north side of the Commercial-road, Limehouse, immediately adja cent to the Regent's canal. The factory in question formed a portion of the right wing of some large works that were built several years since, but which have been apportioned off for the manu facture of various articles. Its walls were brick, with an iron roof, covered with slates, and was not more than 36 feet in length, and about 29 in breadth, and one story in height. The interior was divided into five compart ments, viz., the store, case, machine, boiler, and stuffing rooms, the divisions being composed of wood and iron, all of which contained a good stock of the articles re quired in the formation of the lights and signal rockets, the more dangerous part of the combustibles being kept in a small adjacent outhouse. Employed in the several portions of the factory were Jas. Terry, John Chesterman, Henry Harris, Henry Jones, and a boy, and a little girl, known by the name of Charlotte, about thirteen years of age. The latter is said to have been engaged in the store-room, in which was a stove alight fur the drying of the cases, &c., la belling the lights, and, as she was about to remove a quantity of them off a shelf, she accidentally pulled the shelf down, and one of the lights falling against the stove its instant ignition was the result. Quick as light ning were the stock of them, including a small portion of rockets, which were stowed on some shelves round the south and east end of the building fired, producing the most fearful explosions. The massive iron roofing was at the onset torn asunder, and, by the following shocks all that remained was scattered in various directions. Of the interior everything that had been erected in the shape of machines, divisions, &c., were blown, compara tively speaking, to pieces, and how it was that the prin cipal portion of the human beingS employed therein were saved appears to be almost a miracle. Terry, Chesterman, and Harris saved their lives, but how or i❑ what way they could not state. When the fire was got under, Smith, the engineer of the Schcol-house-lane engine station, immediately com menced searching for the remains of the unhappy crea tures, and on going about the centre of the factory, he found the body of the lad, not so much burned as might be anticipated, although the clothes were, to a great ex tent, consumed. Having removed it to a neighbouring carpenter's workshop, an active search was then insti tuted for that of the little girl, and, after much trouble in turning over the blackened rubbish, heavy irons, and other ponderous materials, what was loft of the body was dragged forth, a shocking spectacle, from that part of the manufactory used as the boiler rooms. All the flesh was literally burned off, and the young creature had evidently been blown with much force to the spot where she was found—the extreme end of the building—her death, no doubt, taking place almost instantaneously. DEATH OF MR. W. BARRYMORE.—The above aamed gentleman, well known as the celebrated panto mime author and stage-manager, died at Boston, in America, on the 16th of February. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.-011 Saturday considera ble alarm was created in Tooley-street, Southwark, in consequence of the issue of a dense smoke from the house No. 12, in Fox-court. An instant cry of fire was raised, when a female, about 26 years of age, who occu pied the second floor, on seeing the smoke ascending the staircase, and thinking that all escape was cut off, pre cipitated herself from the second-floor back window, and fell with fearful violence on the stone pavement beneath. Several persons hastened to her assistance, when they found that the poor creature was unable to walk. They immediately took her to Guy's Hospital, when it was ascertained she had received such severe injuries that very little hopes are entertained of her recovery. The cause of so much alarm arose from the fact of a quantity of straw in a cupboard on the first-floor landing taking fire. The damage done to the building was fortunately inconsiderable.

RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. REPORT OF THE RAILWAY DEPARTMENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE ON THE SCHEMES FOR EXTENDING RAILWAY COMMUNICATION BETWEEN LONDON AND YORK, &c. Railway Department, Board of Trade, Whitehall, March 20, 1845. The Board constituted by Minute of the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade, for the transac tion of railway business, having had under consideration the different schemes deposited with the Railway Depart ment for extending Railway Communication between London and York, and the intermediate districts to the east of the existing lines of railway, have determined cn submitting the following Report thereon, for the con sideration of Parliament. The following is a List of the Schemes in question, showing the number of miles of railway proposed to be constructed in each case, and the estimated cdpital.

We have approached the subject yrith a full sense of its importance, and of the responsibility which is imposed upon us in expressing any opinion upon questions of such magnitude; and we have now to report the conclusions at which we have arrived, after most anxious and delibc rate investigation. The leading objects which arc proposed to be accom plished by the schemes under consideration may be classed under two heads, viz.:-- Ist. To extend the benefits of railway communication to the large portion of England which lies intermediate between the London and Birmingham, and Northern and Eastern Railways, and to the east of the Midland and York, and North Midland Railways. 2d. To form a new trunk line from London to York and the north, by the east of England, more direct than the present circuitous route by Rugby and Derby. Tile former of these objtcts appears to be decidedly the more important. In our report on the projected railways in Scotland, we have already stated our reasons for believing that, owing to the interruptions occasioned by the Firths of Tay and Forth, the eastern line can never become the principal trunk line of communication between Scotland an 1 England. In the event of the Caledonian and Scottish Central lines being sanctioned by Parliament, the traffic of Glasgow, and of the whole of the no. there, western, and central portions of Scot land with England, would pass principally by way of Carlisle and the western route; and if the Trent or Churnet Valley lines should be constructed, the distance even from Edinburgh to London would be almost as short by the western as by the shortest of the proposed eastern routes. The existing through traffic to London that would pass over a more direct London and York line, is stated not to amount to more than about 97,0001. a year ; and al though this amount may probably be increased by the opening of new lines between Newcastle and Edinburgh, yet, on the other hand, it must be remembered that a larger proportion of the existing Scotch traffic now comes up by way of Newcastle than can be expected to do so ultimately, when both the eastern and western lines of communication are completed. On the whole, therefore, wo are not of opinion that the probable importance or amount of the through traffic between London and York would be sufficient to justify an expenditure of several millions for the sole object of shortening this communication by a few miles. At the same time we consider it obviously desirable, for na tional as well as for commercial purposes, that the whole railway communications of the metropolis with the northern portions of the kingdom should not depend upon a single trunk line ; and that, consequently, the opportunity should be embraced now which presents it self of obtaining a good second trunk line to the north, by a combination which: at the same time provides for the local and lateral communications of the eastern counties. These general considerations appear to us to be suill cient to narrow the question considerably, by the ex clusion of two of tho principal schemes which cuter into competition. The Direct Northern, considered as an integral scheme between London and York, has been projected mainly with a view to the attainment of the shortest practicable route between the termini, to which obect the local accommodation of the district traversed has been considered as secondary. Should Parliament be of opinion that the construction of the most direct line be tween London and York ought to be considered as a paramount object, the integral scheme of the Direct Northern would deserve a preference. It reduces the distance to 1761 miles,being 42 miles shorter than by the existing route, and 91 miles shorter than by the proposed London and York line. But for the reasons already stated, we do not consider that a slight saving of dis tance between London and York would be a sufficient compensation for neglecting the local accommodation of 1 the intermediate districts ; nor do we think that it would justify the outlay of capital requisite for the con struction of such a trunk line as the Direct Northern. On the other hand, the scheme of the Midland Rail way Company from Swinton by Lincoln, Boston, Spald ing, and Wisbeach, to March, is open •to the opposite objection, that it entirely sacrifices the object of attain ing a tolerably good second line of communication from London northwards. As part of a trunk line to York, it is obviously inadmissible, since it would make the dis tance as circuitous as by the existing route by way of Rugby, while, as a mere local line, although in itself it might be useful, it is too long and expensive, and com petes too much with any possible trunk line through the same district, to be allowed to stand independently. An inspection of the map will be sufficient to show that its extension is altogether incompatible with that of the Cambridge and Lincoln line, to which it would be a di- ' rectly competing line for the greater part of its course, while, as compared with the London and York scheme, it would merely be an expensive substitute for the " loop" or second line of that scheme, which diverges at Peterborough and joins the main line again at Lincoln. Even apart from other schemes, and considered merely with reference to local purposes, this scheme also, although in some respects it would bo advantageous, would obviously be insufficient, since it merely skirts the coast from Boston southwards, and affords no ac commodation to the important agricultural districts of the interior. Wo shall at once assume, therefore, that the question may be narrowed by the exclusion of the Midland scheme, and of the Direct Northern, considered -as an integral scheme, and that the comparison rests between the Lon don and York, and the Cambridge and Lincoln, in con nexion with some scheme for completing the communi cation from Lincoln to York ; those two schemes alone complying with what we consider to be the indispen sable requisite of uniting the two objects of promoting local accommodation, and of affording u good trunk line. As regards the latter object, we are of opinion that the merits of the two schemes are very equally balanced, and that either would afford a very good trunk line be tween London and York. The distance from London to York, by the London and York scheme, is 186 miles ; by the Cambridge and Lincoln (in connexion with the northern portion of the Direct Northern, and with the Tottenha►n and Farringdon-street Extension, which is proposed as part or this combination), it would be 19:4, miles ; the difference in favour of the London and York being 9i miles. But on the one hand, the gradients of - The question, however, cannot be considered prac tically without reference to considerations of expense. As au abstract proposition, it may be undeniable that it is desirable to extend the benefits of railway commu nication to every village and hamlet in the kingdom ; but as a practical question, the probability of a sufficient return upon the requisite capital to enable the railway to support itself. in a state of solvency and efficiency, affording to the public the benefits of good accommoda tion and moderate rates, must, under ordinary c:rcum stances, be looked upon as decisive of the question, whether a particular district can be considered to require a railway. Also when very nearly the same objects arc attained by two schemes, one of which is extremely expensive, while the other, although in a certain degree less com prehensive, is so much less costly that its promoters can afford to offer much greater advantages to the public generally than could be done by the other, it would ob viously be a sacrifice of the greater to the lesser object, to sanction the more expensive scheme, and thus impose a heavy additional tax upon the bulk of the traffic, for the sake of minor advantages. It is essential, therefore, that we should consider in some detail the probable cost of the two schemes be tween which, as we have already stated, we consider the compari,:on to lie. To begin with the London and York scheme. This scheme consists of the following parts : Miles. Main line from London to York; cia Hunting don, Peterborough, Grantham, Newark, and Doncaster Lo( p from Peterborough, by Boston and Lancas ter, to Bawtry B6 Sheffield Branch 2O; Wakefield Branch Bedford Branch Stamford Branch 5 Minor Branches, Junctions, &e. Total 327i The estimated capital required for the construction of this railway is 6,500,0001., or at the average rate of 20,0001. per mile. The extreme improbability of the line being constructed for anything like this estimate must be apparent. It is true that a great part of the line traverses a country where nature presents few ob stacles to the construction of railways. The loop of 86 miles through the level parts of Lincolnshire, and along the bank of the Witham Navigation, runs nearly on the surface, and considerable portions of the main line are also of an easy character. Other portions, however, are of a very difficult and expensive character ; as, for in stance, the line fur some distance north of London, the Sheffield Branch, and a portion of the Doncaster and Wakefield Branch. On the whole, the scheme has 64 miles, or 11,771 yards of tunnelling, 2,677 yards of viaduct, and about 69 miles of which the earth-works are very heavy and decidedly above an average. The comparison of the first 112 miles of the London and York line out of London to Grantham, with the 112 miles of the Loudon and Birmingham Railway, is sttaed, in a document officially submitted to us, and which the parties state that they are prepared to bear out by evi• denee before Parliament, to show the following results Londo n Earth .azdrkßirminghlm t,oOßO,Tunnels 4-A. miles.

Longest viaduct Ditto, greatest height B9 „ We have not been in a position to test the accuracy of all the details of this statement ; but it appears suffi eiently established that there is no such decided diffe rence in the nature of the works upon the two lines as would warrant us in assuming, owing to this cause alone, an entirely different rate of cost of construction. It is true, that since the time when the London and Birmingham Railway was made, a much greater degree of economy has been introduced in the construction of railways. A great part of this economy, however, has obviously resulted from temporary causes, which are no longer in operation. For instance, the price of iron rails, which, at the time when the estimates for most of the railways now proposed were framed, did not exceed 64 or 71. per ton, has since risen to nearly double that amount; and from the extraordinary demand that must exist for the next four or five years, from the simulta neous construction of so many thousands of miles of new railway, both in this and in other countries, it is evident that, notwithstanding the increase that may be antici , pated in the powers of production, it is impossible to calculate upon a lower price of rails than prevailed while the London and Birmingham IlaiLvay was in course of construction. The increase of during the last six month s, . upon the article of iron alone, would swell the estimate of cost for the 3 0 7 miles of the London and York Railway, by an amount not less than 500,000/. The rise in the price of almost every description of labour applicable to the construction of railways, dur ing the last six er eight months, has also been con siderable, and where, as in the present instance, im mense works would have to be completed within a short period by the collection of !age masses of the class of men known by the appellation of " navigators," it Az can hardly be expected that the cost of common earth.: if" work will be much below what prevailed during the period from 1836 to 1839. In remote localities, where the additional demand for labour is less felt, or where Ai . i j N tt7%- ‘-_, --,4.7; ,...._ -,- ,‘---4,-)---ff ,o‘ -,,,, -,;,.„.--,- 4 .,,,:,;.„-.• .„, the Cambridge-route - ft e very superior ; - - f "------) - - :::---_. 4 --_ .. the terminus at Farringdon-street is nearer , the Post-office, and Charing-cross, than • a littilbms 2 . ll. , London and York Railway at King's-cross. The m a i n ' line of the London and York has two miles of its length at an inclination of 1 in 100, to 1 in 110 ; and 51 miles at an inclination of 1 in.lBl, to 1 in 200 ; with 4/ miles of tunnelling ; while the whole of the proposed line from Cambridge to York has" no plane so steep as 1 in 200, and only five short planes, whose united length amounts to .si. miles, steeper than 1 in 250 ; while for the greater part of its course it is practically level. Although the gradients of the London and York line are for moderate lengths, and have nothing in themselves that can be considered as objectionable, it is evident, that as compared with the extraordinarily good gradients of the Cambridge route, they detract from the advantage in respect of absolute distance. Recent experience has shown upon the Brighten Rail way, that a train may be worked regularly with safety and punctuality at an average speed of 33 miles an hour. including stoppages •, and there is nothing upon any portion of the route between London and York, by way of Cambridge, to prevent this or even a higher speed from being attained, at which rate the journey from London to York could be accomplished in six hours. Taking into account, therefore, on the one hand, the difference of absolute distance, and on the other the dif ference of gradients, and the advantage of the Cambridge route by the superior proximity of its terminus to the heart of the metropolis, we are of opinion that, for the purposes of through traffic between London and York, the merits of the two schemes may be considered as very evenly balanced. The more important question remains to be cousiderid of local accommodation tbr the eastern districts of Eng. land, now deprived of the benefits of railway communi cation In order to arrive at sound conclusions upon this ques tion, we must consider the nature and wants of this dis trict: It is almost exclusively "agricultural, being, in fact, the great corn and cattle producing district of England, from which food is sent, on the one hand, to the dense manufacturing population of Yorkshire and Lancashire, and, on the other, to London. From North Lincolnshire, Newark, East Retford, &c., the bulk of the produce ends its way (mostly by circuitous water conveyance) to the manufacturing districts, a great deal of it centering at the important corn mart of Wakefidd. From South Lincolnshire, Stamford, Peterborough, Cam bridgeshire, Huntingdonshire, &c., the produce, goes partly to the west and north, and partly to London by sea from Boston, Spalding, and Lynn. , The fat cattle and sheep of the whole district go principally to Loud* The whole district is destitute of coal, lime, building stone, &c., all which it draws from the west and north west (the Wakefield, Barnsley, Sheffield, Clay Crows, Pinxton, &c., coal fields), or from the sea ports. General merchandise, colonial produce, &c., come principally from London and Hull. Timber, oil-cake, bones, guano, &c., from Hull and the shipping ports.., It is clear, therfore, that the leading object is to con nect.the chief towns and principal markets for agricul tural produce with one another ; with London ; with the railways leading to the manufacturing districts ; and with the shipping ports. The chief. towns and marketi as we go north from London arc— Population.

If we disregard for the present all considerations of expense, it may be considered that the London and York scheme, on the whole, presents a larger and more com prehensive system of Communication. It runs a nets trunk line from London to Peterborough, half way be tween the London and Birmingham, and Northern and Eastern, and thus accommodates a greater extent of country. Again, by the loop or second line from Peter borough, by way of Boston and Lincoln to Bawtry, com bined with the direct line, it traverses a greater extent of country, and, places both the towns on the old North road, Grantham; Newark, and East Retford, and also Lincoln and Boston, in a continued line of communica tion, which no single line could do. Also, it comprises branches direct to Sheffield and Wakefield, which place it in _a better position for competing with existing lines for the traffic of the manufacturing districts to London.; and, on the whole, having 32; miles of new railway, as compared with less than 200 by the opposite combina tion, it of course traverses a greater extent of country, and thus aftbrds greater accommodation. On the othcs hand, the Cambridge and Lincoln line places Cambridge (which is by far the most important town between London and York) on the main line, and is, we think, a better kcal line for South Lincolnshire, running through the heart of the country, just skirting the fens in the line of the principal population, and at the head of all the principal drains and navigable cuts, while the lints of the London and York scheme skirt it on each side, and run from Boston to Lincoln paral:el %%ith an existing water communication. ~\ j:
