'e have, however, to observe, that the harbour now forming at Fleeikvood, which, b' the Preston and Wyre Railway, will be put in comrinication with Loa _ don, and the manufacturing districts of Lancashire, appears to us lilaply to form a good point of departure J for the north of 'lreland and west of Scotland. But the great question for consideration is, whether every passenger between Lancaster and Glasgow shall be compelled to spend 4s. or 55., and lose one hoar each journey, by being taken round by Maryport, or whether the Irish passenger shall incur the same in creased expense, and about the same loss .of time, by being taken round by Carlisle . to Maryport ; to embark in the Belfast steamer, supposing him to select this route in preference, to that by the Preston and Wyre Railway to the harbour of Ficetwood. Now, as such steamer can only be supposed to make one or two p sages per week, while the trains between Lancaster Carlisle would prehably run several times per day, it would be exceedingly prejudicial to the general public interest that the whole of the Scotch traffic should be compelled to pass alone b the coast line.

The followin g is 'the opinion of Dr. Lushington and Griffiths Richards, Esq., two of the most eminent lawyers of this country, and we submit it with confidence to the judgment of the public : and Penrith, the whole distance between Lancaster and.

In laying the following article (from The Sun) before our readers, we shall do no more than express the satis faction wlych it affords us to find, that additional evi decca is daisy furnished of the truth of an opinion ex pressed by us in a former number respecting the charac ter of the question at issue between the Duke of Sus sex and his children by his first wife, Lady Augusta Murray —or rather, between his Royal llighneis and the nation, respecting them, viz.—that it is nn question of party politics, but one of truth and justice, of religion and morality, John Allcard, Esq.

METROPOLITAN INFIRiVIARY for the CURE of STRICTURES of the URETHRA, GONORRHCEA, GLEETS, SYPHILIS, &c. This Insti tution is elosed, but as the Surgeon of it feels assured that there ar e h un d re d s su ff e ring undr the diseases, to the cute of which it was especially devoted, who would gladly avail them 'elves of his professional assistance, rather than place them selves under the charge of chemists, or, worse still, have recourse to any of the dangerous and inefficient nostrums daily ad vertised, he has mad. arrangements to see patients at his Own residence, at the mere expense to the patient of the neces sary medicine. Thus persons of limited means have now on Opportunity of 'securing for themselves a mode of treatment that, whilst It is based on experience, is regulated by the pecu liarities which their own cases and constitutions may require ; thereby freeing themselves from the absurdities and dangers that wait upon the employment of one kind of medicine for all f °tuts of these diseases, without regard to these essential I l ksticulars.

Improvement of some 4i4 d is generally the attainment kept in view. There is, how re'', an object universally desired in the preservation and en- Raucement of personal appearance, and hence the importance attached to the toilet. In this interesting department the ex perience of nearly a century furnishes conelticive testimony as to the value of GOWLAND'S LOTION in producing a pure surface of the skin, with the clear and animated tint essential to aline complexion. Elegance of preparation, singularly refreshing Qualities, and its positive effect in preventing the discolouration Incident to the season, will be found among the pleasing results iskvariably attending the use of Gocland's Lotion.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the ordinary practitioner. To enter into the details of tiles.. affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, which delicacy forbids us to name, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whether we consider such person to hold .he relation of a PARENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation perish f ri i s t h s real cause, has been set down to the score of c onsumpt i on, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find th a t i n nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, w h o of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgenc e in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and iesponsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real cause of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation cf parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which you th is addicted; he will also be enabled to point out the 'di sas trous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if uut relinqu6hed. The book will also be found to contain much valuable infor mation peculiarly Interestin g to those members of societ y who, from having indulged to excess in youth, find themselves un able to discharge thosoedsuptoiefslainfe.

SPORTING INTELIAGEINCE. TATTERSALL'S-YESTERDAY. Although the regular settling for the Derby and Oaks dJes not take place until this afternoon (Tuesday) there was a tolerably hilt attendance, and several small accounts were ad jos(ed this day. The betting was too flat to require any intro ductory remarks. ASCOT CUP. 5 to 1 apt Lord Chesterfield's Don John--taken and after- wards offered 6 to 1 agst Mr. Ridsdale's Bloomsbury—taken 8 to 1 agst Duke of Rutland's Flambeau—taken Deception was declared not to start. ST. LEGER. No betting. DERBY, 1841. 4 to 1 agst Scott's lot—taken 20 to 1 agst Alr. Rawlin7on's Coronation—taken several times in hundreds 33 to 1 agst Lord Westminster's Van Amburgb—taken 33 to 1 agst Puke of Cleveland's Giaour—taken The last two bets were made in St. James's .street. THE WINNER OF THE DERBY. Little Wonder has a small head, and a little dish or hollow in the nose ; his neck is short and strong ; his shoulders muscular and oblique; not very high in the withers; large and long arms, and short legs; pasterns long, with good open feet ; large f..re and back sibs ; wide in the hips ; very drooping quarters, and long ; large in the stifles and thighs ; and when in the stable stands over very little ground.

ENGAGEMENTS.—Is in the Queen's Vase and the Ascot Stakes at Ascot, the Gold Cup at Newcastle, and in the Glas gow Cup and the St. Leger at Paisley ; he is not in the Don caster St. Leger. He was trained for his Newmarket engage ments and the Derby by the veteran Forth, and he is not likely to leave the south this season.— Bell's Life. CHURCH-ItATES. At tho Ilford Petty Sessions, on Saturday, Mr. Ebenezer Clarke, a tradesman residing at Waltham stow, wc.s summoned at the instance of the parish au thorities, to show cause why he ought not to pay the sum o.t: eleven shillings, for Church-rates for the years 1838 anal 1839. Mr. ,Griffid„ a professional gentleman of Ilford, at tended ire suppoct of the proceedings, and Mr. Boykett, a gentleman conn,lcted with the Church-rate Abolition Society, appeared o'n behalf of Mr. Clarke. Mr, Griffin addre. , sed the Bench at some length, and cited cases in support of his view of the subject, in the event of the defendant taking any objection to the va lidity to the rate. Mr. Boykett said that he would at once state that it was not his intention, on behalf of the defendant, to take any technical objection to the rate—he merely dis puted his ability to pay it. Mr. Griffin then put in the Rate-book, and closed his case. Mr. Boykett submitted to,the Bench that the mete putting in of the Rate-book did not make out prima facie that the rate was properly made, and he contended that there should be some proof that the proper notices had been given by the Churchwardens before the rate was made. The Chairman, W. Cotton, Esq., said he considered that the rate, properi! - y signed, being put in as ev id ence, was sufficient, and he was quite prepared, upon his own responsibility', to take it as a legal proof of the rate. Mr. Boykett then called for the production of the books containing the cash accounts of the churchward ens for the years speciiiied. Mr. Griffin said he should itot produce any documents of the kind. The Magistrates said that they had already de cided that Mr. Boiykett was not entitled to call for any documents or other evidence connected with the rate. They had nothing to do with the mode in whi c h the money was expended, but when the rite was placed befor e them they had no other course to pursue wzt to enforce it, unless cause was shown to induce them to adopt a contrary course of proceeding. Mr, Boykett then said that he should not offer any evidence, upon which The Bench decided that an order for the payment of the amount should be issued. Mr. Boykett immediately gave notice of his intention to appeal to the Quarter Sessions. It will be seen by the annexed extract, that the lead ing evening organs of the Whig-Radica's, and our ex cellent Contemporary the Dublin Evening Mail, a journal devoted to the advocacy of Conservative prin ciples, are cordially uaitcd in maintaining and en forcing the claims and rights of Sir Augustus d'Este, and his sister, and are both pledged to continue to do so until the wrongs which they have so long and so meekly endured are investigated and re dressed. Nor, to the honour of the press of this coun try be it recorded, is this a solitary instance. Other Journals have imitated the example of the Mail and The Sun, and we have no doubt but that such instances will be greatly multiplied. The personal and public character of the Duke of Sussex are deeply involved in this affair ; and for the sake of his own reputation, he must, ere long, make it appear, that that influence by which Lady Cecilia Underwood has bcea created a Duchess, and which has procured at Court, as we under stand, the recognition of.kis marriage with that lady, is sufficient to obtain justiee'for his children, or he must be content to take a much lower place in the estimation of his contemporaries and of posterity, than, we are free to confess, we should wish to see his Royal Highness occupy. (From the Dublin Evening Mail.) We beg to direct the attention of our readers to two very able articles in reference to the union of the Duke of Sussex with the Lady Augusta Murray, and to the children of that marriage. These articles are, extracted frOni the columns of The Sun, and Argus Landon - Pa pers. Nothing less was tot. have been expected of a Constitutional and. Conservative Journal, such as the Argus, than that it would put forth its powers and exert its influence in the cause of persecut e d innocence, :and iia the assertion of law and justice. In doing so it 'was .but labouring in its vocation ; but we will confess that when we see a Paper like The Sun—attached upon principle to that party in the country in which, if :the Duke of Sussex be riot a lrader, h e at l east occup i e i a high and prominent position ; when we find a Jourfial like The Sun—possessing such a character and com manding such a circulation—unmindful of personal con siderations and regardless of politi ca l consequences —. merging all private feelings in the bold, and manly, and noble assertion of a great public principle, we are at a loss for words to express our admiration of conduct so high-minded and so generous, With such a univers a l sympathy as is now excited, with such a general advo cacy as is now enlisted, justice must be done to th e memory of one of th.r most noble and h eroic of her sex —the late Lady Augusta 'Murray —justice must be done to her wronged and oppressed children—the Prince an Princesses of Sussex —and justice will be done (in spite of himself) to the husband of the one, and the father of the other. When this desired event takes place, the Duke of Sussex will b e a h app i er an d a better man than he has been fur many a year ; and if we could but hope that our humble voice could reach his royal ear, and that his fame, honour, a t n o d d re o p t u i t i a a t t io o n s were as dear to us as is our own life an d c h aracter , a w n e a w c o t u o l f d g e ra n c tr a e s a v t hi b e c h s w ee i c ll h he Pn lo p r lo ce p re d u hil o n i him as a mat ter of justice. Never was it the fate o f mortal man to have an opportunity within his own reach of acquiring in a single hour such admiration and popularity as his Royal Highness has th e means of achieving. He has no (recorded) declaration to retract—no (absolute) step to retrace. Ilis acts of later years towards his children have been rather of a nega tive than of a positive character. The way is clear and the course open. A repetition in his age and on reflec tion, of those noble and beautiful sentiments which burst spontaneously from his bosom in youth, is all that would be neces,ary. A reiteration of the eloquent language contained in his letter to Lord Erskine—language at once so creditable to his head and heart—a recital of the expressions of tendet ness and love towards his children, set forth in the two wills made by his Royal Highness—the one at Berlig, the .other in Loudon— and this done publicly, wout , r c.t the same time recon cile him to himself, his children, and his country. When all the concurrent testimony sets one way, there can be little doubt of the merits Lunt good qualities of those whom every speaker and writer join in praising; and, therefore, from all that has been said and published of the amiable and elegant Augustus of Eite, and his charni.ng and accomplished sister, they are children of whom a Prince—a Monarch might feel proud. (From the Dublin Evening Mail of Friday.) We copy from recent numbers of The Sun and of the Brighton Gazette the evidence which their columns afford of the deep and augmenting interest which has taken hold of the public mind in favour of the claims of the late Lady Augusta Murray, and the considera tion due to the amiable and (alas! that we should have to say it still) the injured offspring of her Ladyship's marriage with a Prince of the House of Brunswick. Much as we were ourselves impressed with a sense of the wrongs endured by these illustrious sufferers, we had hardly a hope, at the outset of our career, that, oc cupied as the public mind of England is, not only with the commerce of the world, but with the critical po sition and prospects of her government, the question should have received, and that so suddenly, such a ge neral sympathy amongst the people ; or our poor ex ertions in collecting and arranging the documents and facts, have met with such a generous co-operation from the press. We are happy to acknowledge cur error. Beyond all calculation has the interest become intense ; and we speak with a confidence resulting from many years' experience in the task of observing the progress and result of public opinion —that this question can never be set at rest without the extension of full justice to the parties, so long, and we must add, so gratuitously, deprived of their rights. In addition to the testimonies which we subjoin from The Sun and the Brighton Gazette, of the growing in terest in favour of the Prince Augustus—(for so we must be allowed to call him) and his illustrious sister —we beg leave to call the attention of the public— and if his Royal Highness will condescend to be ad vised by us, of the Duke of Sussex himself—to a report (which will be found in our subsequent columns) of the proceedings of the Highland School Society at its an nual festival. It must not be overlooked that the illus trious family of the Lady Augusta Murray are of Scot tish descent, of the blood-royal of Scotland ; and that to the nationality and clanship of the Scottish people such claims as those of her Ladyship and her children can never appeal without effect. It should appear, then, as if the Society in question w ere not incognisant of th e claims of their country woman's children, nor unwillin g to place them in that rank and station to which their deserts, no less than their birth, entitle them. The Prince Augustus sat at the right band of the Noble Chairman ; and when the Society bad drunk to the hea!th of the Duke of Sussex, as President of the Society, the honour of re turning thanks for his Royal father devolved upon the Prince, who has so long and undeservedly been ex cluded from his father's kind consideration, and denied the honours of his birth. It was indeed a trying scene for the Prince—a touch ing one to the hearts of all who were present ; but we sl:ali forb ar commentary. What all good men—what all loyal subjects—what alI those attached to the House of Brunswick, and to its character and stability should desire—is, that the Duke of Sussex should take the less than for the reputation of his injured wife and the steps necessary for his own honour and happiness, no d res t ora tion of his childr en, all of whom, in his happ ier ays, he loved a nd cherished with the affection of a man and the tenderness of a parent. Recent circumstances, in which he has consulted his present comforts perhaps more than his recollections of the past, or his hopes of the future, give him the most favourable opportunity that could be desired or imagined of making restitution, though tardily, to those whom a real or imaginary, but, at all events, a cruel necessity, has hitherto made him feel for with indifference, and act toward s w i t h i n j ust i ce. He can do nothing more injurious to his present peace and posthumous reputation than persist in the course which he has hitherto been unhappily advised to pursue. It is now for his Royal Highness to choose. May we not be allowed to hope that nature will not plead in vain, and that honou r will trium p h in carrying out principle to its full effect ?

The Directors of Divisions and the General Directors of the Society for the Suppression of Intemperance, of which Earl Stanhope is the President, having made ar rangements for a grand procession in the metropolis yes terday, the Vice-Presidents, Officers, and the Executive Committee, met in Finsbury Circus at nine o'clock. The Northern Division also assembled in Finsbury Circus at nine o'clock, and proceeded through Finsbury Pavement, Moorgatc-street, Princes-street, Poultry, Cheapside, Newgate-street, to Holborn-hill, to join the other divisions. The Rechabites assembled on Clerkenwell-green at half-past seven o'clock, and proceeded to Finsbury Circus to join the Northern Division. The Southern Division assembled at the Temperance Hall, St. George's-road, at nine o'clock, and proceeded to Farringdun-street to join the other divisions. The Metropolitan Catholic Association assembled on Tower-hill, at seven o'clock, and proceeded to join the Easters Division at Bethuai-green New Church. The Western Division assembled in Brunswick-square, at half-past nine o'clock, and proceeded to Hatton-garden to join the other divisions. The Eastern Division assembled at Bethnal-green New Church ; at eight o'clock, and then proceeded to join the Northern Division. The divisions were _in readiness near Holborn at 11 o'clock, and proceeded in the following order :- - Three military trumpeters on horseback. Large banner of the Executive CoMmittee. Gentlemen on horseback, from all the divisions. Large banner of the City and North of London Auxi liary. Band of the Scots Fusilier Guards. Members on foot, from the divisions, in the following order: -- 1. Northern Division 2. Rcehabite Tents 4. Metropolitan Catholic I Association► I 5. Western Division 3. South ern Di v i s i on 6.

Most of the members wore favours. lir the course of the evening meetings were held for the purpose of recommending the principles of the So• ciety, at Finsbury Chapel, Moorfields, at Temperance Hall, St. Geerge's-road, near the Elephant and Castle, and at Temperance Hotel, London.lane, Hackney. • The whole body of the prOcession, consisting of mem bers of all the metropolitan societies, passed along Char ing-cross and Wh:tchail, in their way over Westminster bridge, between one and half-past two. Its numbers amounted to between 16 and 20,000 persons, about 4,000 of whom were in open carriages, covered vans, and other vehicles. The procession presented a highly re spectable appearance ; and the gay colours of the various banners and devices, and the enlivening strains of the dif ferent bands of music, gave to the whole a very imposing effect. The greatest order and decorum marked the pro ceedings of the day, and notwithstanding the crowded state of the streets, and the breaking down of one or two carriages, no serious accident or personal injury marred the harmony and moral festivity of the day. CARLISLE AND LANCASTER RAILWAY. (From the Carlisle Journal.) Through the kind attention of P. H. Howard, Esq., M.P., we have this week been put in possession of a copy of the Report of the Commissioners appointed to examine the competing lines from Lancaster to Carlisle ; and hasten to lay before our readers the most important part of this most interesting and valuable document. After describing the various lines submitted to their inspection the Commissioners proceed to say : Having now described in sufficient detail the principal features, as far as regards construction, of the three competing lines, we shall proceed to consider their de fects and advantages, in order to decide upon their re lative merits. In the two inland lines, which we shall first compare together, the most striking defects are, obviously, their summit tunnels. At the conclusion of our inspection of the country, we felt that, if in other respects the engineering difficul ties should be nearly balanced, it would be on the pro bable cost and time of forming these tunnels that the preference would depend ; and we therefore considered it indispensably necessary to determine the accuracy of both sections, in their delineations of the summit hills, and of the length of the tunnels to be formed through them. At our suggestion their Lordships were pleased to authorise the employment of Lieut. Hew Dalrymple Fanshaw, of the 12th foot, in surveying both the Gate Scarth and the Orton summit. This officer has com pleted the duty entrusted to him with great care, and in the most satisfactory and creditable manner, having had recourse to trigonometrical (operations for determining the heights and distances where the ground became too broken to admit of entire reliance being placed on the more ordinary but less accurate mode of ascertaining them by levelling. We may therefore concludo that the tunnel of the Kendal line would be 21 miles, and that of the Lune line only 1i in length, as shown in the sections in the Appendix. We have already stated that according to the best geological authorities, the Gate Scarth consists of a mass of green slate and porphyry, while the Orton Scar is in the limestone formation. We have made most diligent inquiries, to ascertain from practical miners the cost of driving galleries in rock of both the above descriptions ; and although we have found the statements with which they have favoured us far from being in accordance, they yet generally admit, that there is a much greater facility of working in lime stone, such as the Orton S car i s suppose d to be, than in the green slate ; and we feel warranted, from the in formation we have received, and from our own observa tion, in concluding, that supposing the length of the tunnels to be equal, and both to he worked from the ends only, the cost and time of forming the Gate Scarth tunnel, would be at least cne half more than that of the Orton tunnel. But this difference would in reality, be materially increased from the greater extent of the former, and from the difficulty in making shafts in the Gate Scarth, to accelerate the progress of the work. From the conformation of the Orton Hill, on the con trary, any number of shafts may be sunk, and the work proportionably expedited ; but by reference to the sec• tion, it will be seen that this is not the case with the Gate Scarth. Thus there is in this part of the Lune line a great and manifest superiority over the Kendal line, and we find that, in regard also to the amount of cuttings, em bankments bridges, and viaducts, the merit of more economical construction, is due to the Lune line. By the following: tables, it will likewise be seen, that the gradients arc in favour of the Lune line ; so that, with the exceptior of its being a little longer, all the engi neering properties entitle the Lune line to a preference. [The Commissioners then give the tables of gradients on the two line, but want of room compels us to omit them this week. Referring nos.. to the mechanical properties of these lioies 'l it appears that the length of railroad to be exe curc m o n the c' line, between the terminu s o f t h e p ston and Lanwster Railway at Lancaster, and the 114ryport Railway, amounts to 66 miles 42 ch a i ns , antl that the leng Oa of the Maryport and Carlisle lUilway, which is non' is progress, is 28 miles 3 chains, making the whole distance between Lancaster and Car lislte 94 miles 45 chain the gradients being of a favour abfi! description. By the inland line of the valley of the Lune, Orton In a ider to make a comparison of the mechanical advantages and disadvantages of these lines, we have rtducekl the several gradients to equivalent horizontal distances. The principle of this redaction may be briefly stated as follows. There is always an increased tractive power required to asoead a plane beyond that which is requisite oa a level, and therefore (the engine being the same) a cer tain amount of additional time is required in the ascent. This additional time would allow the engine to pass over a certain extent of horizontal distance with the same load, and this increase of distance may be taken as a measure of the retarding effect of the ascending plane. In descending the same plane, the tractive force and time requisite are less than on a horizontal plane, and this effect may therefore be indicated by a horizontal line shorter than the plane ; but as there is always more time lost in ascending than is gained in"descending any given plane, a loss is sustained on the aggregate, and this whole effect may be expressed IT an iacPeased length of line, greater or less according to the steepness of the plane and the amount of the load, and this in creased line is what has been denominated the equivalent horizontal distance. This mode of reduction has been carefully applied to the several gradients on each of the three lines now un der consideration. We find that the locomotive power requisite to work the coast line of 94 miles and 54 chains, with a gross load of 50 tons, is equivalent to that which would work a horizontal line of 98 miles 34 chains ; while the mean equivalent distance, for the inland line of the valley of the Lune, is 78 miles 1 chain ; and for the Kendal line, between Lancaster and Carlisle, 75 miles 9 chains. As far, therefore, as regards the cx pense of locomotive power, the advantage is lunch in favour of either of the inland lines, as compared with the coast line, while all the other expences are ,still more in-their favoilr, theSe latter expences being gene prnportionako The actual distance, such as police, stations, water-stations, road repairs, Government taxes, &c. In order to ascertain the effect that this increased locomotive expense would have on the general working expenses of the several lines, we have examined with great care and attention the official returns of the princi pal working railways, separating, as far as possible, :he charges for locomotive power from the other charges ; and although we have found considerable differences in the proportions, according to the prices of fuel and other circumstances ; yet, upon the whole, it appears to be a fair average to assume, the locomotive expenses as amounting to one•third (or about 3:3 per cent.) of the total working expenses of a line of railway of moderate traffic ; and since the equivalent distance on the inland lEnes is about one-sixth greater than the actual distance, the aillitional locomotive charge due to the gradients will amount to about 1.18 or six per cent. on the general expenses of the line ; or estimating, as is usually done, the total expenses at half the income, to about three per cent. on the latter ; which, if borne by the traveller, would have the effect of increasing his fare about 4d., on either the Kendal or Lune line, assuming the fare under ordinary circumstances at 2d. per mile. At this rate of charge, and making the addition of 4d. on the inland lines, the fare for the journey between Lancaster and Carlisle would be— s. d. By the Coast line By the Lune line By the Kendal line . . In respect of time—estimating the speed, including stoppages, at 29. miles per hour on the equivalent dis tances on the three lines, we find it to amount— h. In. By the Coast line to By the Lune line '3 28 By the Kendal line 3 20 It appears, therefore, notwithstanding the mechani cal disadvantages of the gradients on the inland lines as compazed with those on the coast line, that the ex pepse to the traveller, as well as . the time of performing his journey, would be considerably greater on the latter line than on either of the former. We have next examined the claims of the three lines as regards the amount of population and present coach and mail traffic. The amount of population per mile has been found by dividing the total population within 10 m:les on each side of the respective lines by the number of miles, employing in each case the census of 1831, and the amount of coach traffic has been determined in the usual way, from returns supplied to us from the Stamp-Office. We thus find— By the Coast Line ...... By the Lune Line By the Kendal Line Population I Passeng,ei s. per mile. per annum. • _______ - :oast Line 1,923 I 8,040 2,240 I 21,528 2,460 I 21,528 To bring these several results more immediat one point of view, we have collected and them as in the following table : Table shoving the Relative Properties of the project between Lancaster and Carlisle. :ely into arranged ted Lines 1 Alils.Chs 2ti 3 66 42 94 45 98 34 s. d. 15 9 li. m. 4 22 8,040 DATA.

For these reasons, as far as regards the communica tion between England and Scotland, which i 3 the great object of our inquiry, we consider it to be our duty to give the preference to one of the inland lines. it has, we know, been stated by the supporters of the coast line, that the profit to be expected from the sale of the land to be reclaimed by means of the embank ments, would so far reduce the average cost per mile, that this line might compete in respect of fare, with the inland line ; to this, however, we cannot assent. Of the 941- miles between Lancaster and Carlisle 28 miles belong to the Maryport and Carlisle Railway Company. The toll on this, as an independent line, must be paid in full ; and, therefore, to reduce the whole fare to that of the inland line, the remaining 662 miles of the coast line must be charged for at a rate not higher than the remaining 364 or 402 miles of the inland lines, after deducting 28 miles to correspond w ith the Maryport and Carlisle Railway. The fare, there fore, to make the two lines equal in expense to the tra veller, must be no more on the 664 miles of coast line than on the 361 or 402, miles of the in land line. Now, on lines of medium traffic, the working expenses generally amount to about half the receipts, as before stated, and on lines of light traffic these expenses bear a still higher ratio ; it is, there fore, we conceive, quite impossible, with the income de rivable from to 41:4 miles on a line of moderate traffic, to leave a fair dividend for shareholders, and pay the expenses of working 662 miles of railway ; or supposing even that the Maryport Company should agree to participate in this reduction, we still think, that the expenses of working the 94 miles of the coast line could not be paid out of the fares due to the 64 or 68 wiles of the inland line, and still leave to the share holders such prospect of a dividend as would induce the public, with a lair statement of facts before them, to enter into the proposed speculation. Therefore, whatever success might attend the at tempt to reclaim land in Morecambe Bay and the Dud den, the traveller would unques tionably be a loser by the adopti on o f t h e coast li ne ; am lif,notiviLlis b ta a n nkg il -. ini , g the app aren t pract i ca bility of the proposed operations, these should fail, nothing 'tees than ruin could attend the coast line railway, As regards the communication between London and Manchester, via Csrlisle, with Glasgow, there can be no question, from what has been stated, that the prefe rence ought to be given to one of the inland lines ; but it must also be admitted that the coast line would cffer greater facilities for communicating with Belfast an th e north of Ireland, remaining 54 miles, viz. between Whitebaven caster, so that, when divided upon the who!e distance, they are ge nerally less per mile than on th e i n l an d li nes. From a full and careful consideration of all the bear ings of the case, we therefore feel it our duty to reject the coast line, so far as regards its being made a link in the chain of connexion between England and Scotland. The next question is, the preference which ought to be given to one of the two projected inland lines. Referring again to our Table, (abore given,) it ap pears that the mechanical superiority, although incon siderable, is with the Kendal line, its equivalent dis tance being 75 miles 9 chains, while that of the Lune line is 78 miles I -lain. The statistical properties are nearly the same on both lineF, with the exception that the Lune line would not take in its route the important and thriving tows' of Kendal. The advantages which this town would derive from the near approach of a railway from the north would be considerable, particularly from the fa cility it would afford of obtaining coal, of ivbich the consumption is there represented to be large ; and re ciprocally the railway would derive an increase of its revenue by its connexion with this town. It was evident to us in the course of our inspection of the country, that the engineering difficulties of that part of Mr. Bintlet's line which extends fro m Kendal to Mardale Green, would entitle the Lune line to a preference, and we therefore inquired whethe r it might not be practicable to connect the two lines together by adopting Mr. Bintley's route from Lancaster to Ken dal, and Mr. Larmer's from Penrith down to Borrow- Lridge, and by finding a practicable line from the last named place to Kendal ; . !Jut Mr. Larmer stated that such a-line Would be - of too expensive a character to . admit of this proposit:on being entertained. H owever, since our return to London, and indeed since this Report, has been drawn up, the Provisional Committee of the Kendal line have requested us to receive and report upon a survey, recently made by Mr. Lamer, to connect the lines of the Lune and Kent, nearly in the manner above described. Our instructions preclude us from acceding to this request, but we have no hesita tion in saying that if a line has been found which would afford the adtantage of direct railway commu ,iication to Kndal, without either materially inereas •;e the cost of co n struction, or the length of the line wean Lancaster and Carlisle, and which would be rcefrom other great defects, it might be more bene ficial to the public theta the Lune line. '['his, however, is a subject for future con h!eration, and in the mean while, keeping in view the general tenor of oar instruc tions, the main feature of which, in the present part of our inquiry, is that we should determine what, under all circumstances, would he the best means of establish ing a railway communication between London and the city of Glasgow, having reference also to the interests of the maot&tot tit lag tiLtricts of Lancashire, the western parts of Scotland, and the north of Ireland, we feel hou,d after a careful and deliberate review of the ad vantages and disadvantages of the three competing lines, to state tit it we give the preference, to the line of the v"lit-y of the Lune and. Penrith over the Kendal line, on account of t h e greater engineering difficulties 61 - the latter ; and th a t we also give the Lune line a pre ference over the coast line, in consequence of its short ening the time and diminishing the cost ol travelling to the greater proportion of passengers who would require to avail themselves of railway communication north of Lancaster. We have to remark that the line to which we have thus given a preference, :pill require a smaller capital than either of the other lines ; for the cost of its con struction will he less than that of either the Kendal or the coast : and it must be borne in mind that as respects the last, although its promoters calculate upon a great return fOr their outlay, by the land to be reclaimed in Morecambe Bay, still the capital for the embankments must be raisen in the first instance. It may not be irrelevant to observe, that if the esti. mate - of Mr. Hague, as revised by us in a former part of this Report, should be nearly accurate, viz., that the cos t of forming water-tight embankments across More cambe Bay and the lludden Sands, with the works de pendent thereon, would only amount to .543,373/. 2s. I Id , and if there should appear - a probability of the land to be reclaimed realizing so large a aura as 1,196,000/., this project in;ght stand on its own merits, apart from any connexion with a railway. In conclusion, we have only to state that in our in spection of the coast line, we were accompanied through out the whole distance by Mr. Briscoe. an assistant to Mr. Rastrick, and in our examination of Morcarnbe Bay by Mr. Hague, the engineer, and by Mr. Parker the solicitor, besides other gentlemen interested in this pro ice`. Mr. Larmcr pointed out the Lune line, and Mr. Bintley the Kendal line, and we were also accompanied by the Secretary and several members of the Kendal Conurittee, all of whom evinced every desire to facili tate our inquiry ; but it is to be regretted that more time and means had not been at the disposal of the surveyors of the inland lines, to have enabled them to prepare their plans and other drawings in an equally perfect and satisfactory manner nith those of the coast line.
