Treasurer's Office,l, Fenwick-slreet, 20th March, 1844. be entitled to every I,cility the Government could afford, provided security were given" (as it now is) " of a bona fide intention of completing the whole line from Lancas ter.'' _ _ Upon the subject of traffic it may be observed—first, that this railway will afford the shortest and cheapest transit from Glasgow and the west of Scotland to all parts of England ; secondly, by means of the projected Perth and Sterling Railway it will connect those cities and the north of Scotland generally with England ; and thirdly, it will bring Edinburgh into direct communication with London, Lancashire, and all the manufacturing districts with which that city has at present no communication except by coach, and the trade of which is necessarily carried round by a circuitous route by sea, and by canals or railways which have no immediate connexion with it. The subjoined table of comparative distances* seems to the Committee to prove beyond doubt, not only that their line cannot fail to secure the approbation of the Legisla ture, but that, when made, it must also necessarily re ceive nearly all the mails and traffic of Scotland. In its intermediate route, the line traverses the rich mineral and manufacturing districts of Lanarkshire and Dumfries shire; the great lead, iron, and coal works of the former county are well known ; of coal there are at the present moment large quantities daily carted for a distance of 40 miles along the line southwards; of lead to the distance of 50 miles and upwards in both directions; anri thou sands of tons of iron and coal are daily carted northwards for the distance of 25 miles to the Harbour at Glasgow. Nor can the carriage of lime, both north and south, for one of the most improvable regions of Scotland, fail to produce a considerable annual return. This line, more over, unites in the most direct manner, as the map shows, the most important cities in Great Blitain, viz., London, Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool, with Edinburgh and Glasgow; even to Edinburgh, which is on the eastern coast, it is the shortest line. The amount of passenger and merchandise traffic between chose cities must neces sarily be great, whilst the number of tourists visiting Moffatt, the Falls of Clyde, the Scottish lakes, and other romantic scenery along the line, already numerous, will be greatly increased. Upon the subject of traffic, the Government Commis sioners reported as follow : " We have had before us various statistical returns re garding the districts through which the several competing lines would pass, and as they are of an interesting nature we have placed them in the Appendix to the Report, but we do not find that the results they give are such as to lead us to prefer any other to that by Carlisle and Lock erby." From a further and recent investigation the Committee have assured themselves of a return of at least eight per cent. per annum on the investment. By a continuation of eight miles of additional railway from Coatbridge, near Airdrie, to Castle Cary, this line may be brought into connexion with the projected railway to Stirling, Perth, and Dundee, thus forming one unbro ken chain of railway communication from London to the North of Scotland, and avoiding the inconvenience and loss of time that would necessarily be caused by crossing the Friths of Forth and Tay. As regards the expense of working this railway, it is obvious that a great advantage will arise from the fact that both the Edinburgh and Glasgow traffic will form the same train for three-fourths of the whole distance. The undertakinc , has the enthusiastic support of the great majority of landed proprietors along the whole line, and the Committee have reason to believe that it will meet with no opposition from any ; indeed, for at least three-fourths of the land required, they have already made satisfactory arrangements. The shares will be of £5O each, and it will be a provi sion of the Act of Incorporation that no subscriber shall be liable for more than the amount of his subscription. The Parliamentary deposit of 10 per cent., or £5 per ' share to be paid at the time of allot men t, an subscribers will have to execute an agreement binding them to sign the Parliamentary deed when required. Application for shares to be made to Messrs. FOSTER and BRAITHWAITE, 64, Old Broad-street, London ; to Mr. JOHN LANG, Glasgow; to Messrs.

To the EDITOR of the " GLASGOW lIERALD." Q IR,—Will any of your readers, who posses the requf kJ site information, have the goodness to answer the fol lowing questions?- Ist. Is it true, as is currently reported, that, of the long array of respectable parties who appear as forming the Provisional Committee of the " Caledonian Railway," not one of those connected with Glasgow has taken, or means to take, a single Share in the undertaking ? 2d. Is it true, as is currently reported, that the names of some of these parties were put down in the List with out their authority—while others were put down in con sequence of permission obtained two years ago, under different circumstances ? 3d. Is it true, as is currently reported, that some of the most influential of these parties have, since the publica tion of the Prospectus, withdrawn their names—deter mined not to allow themselves to be made the means of decoying others to subscribe to an undertaking in which they themselves have taken no Shares, and of the merits of which, as compared with other Lines, they as yet know little or nothing ? 4th. Is it true that the plans of the " Caledonian" Line deposited last year, in terms of the standing orders of Parliament, passed over, not along the Wishaw and Colt ness Railway, and in lace of reaching Glasgow by the Garnkirk Railway, as seems now contemplated, joined the Pollok and Govan Coal Railway—which passes down the surface of West-street, and terminates on the surface of the Paisley Turnpike Road at Tradeston ? sth. Is it true that the Table of comparative distances now published, with the Prospectus of the Caledonian Railway, refers entirely to the difference between the " Caledonian" and the " North British" or East Coast Line, and makes no mention of the " Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle," or West Coast Line—and that the length of the Caledonian is stated as being the same as the Cen tral Line reported on by the Parliamentary Commission.. ers in 1842; while, if now brought over the Wilsontown, Wishaw and Coltness, Monkland and Kirkintilloch, and Garnkirk Mineral Lines (as is talked of), 'it will be much longer?

Is it true that these four mineral lines, over which in succession it is proposed to carry the whole English traffic with Glasgow, are many of them of a very imper fect construction—of only 4 feet 6 inches guage—crowded with coal and ironstone waggons—in some places having only a single line of rails—of a weight not exceeding 50 lbs. per lineal yard—crossing several important turn pike roads near Glasgow on the level—and having their terminus at Glasgow 120 feet at least above the general level of the city ? 7th. Is it true, as is reported to have been stated at the public meeting held not long ago at Lanark, that the ruling gradient of the Caledonian line will be 1 in 75, and that for many consecutive miles ; and. is it true that the length of new line to be made will be 112 miles (be-. sides the expenditure required for the alteration and com pletion of the Mineral Railways, while the ruling gradient of the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Line, will be 1 in 130, and the length of new Line 92 miles ? Bth. Is it true that the natural summit of the Caledo nian Line is upwards of 1000 feet, and of the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Line only 600 feet above the sea ? 9th. Is it true that the alleged subscription towards the Capital Stock of this undertaking, by the North of Eng land Railways, to the extent (as is said) of £600,000, i s only in expectancy, and that in not one of these Compa nies have the Shareholders yet been called together to say whether they will, or will not, so subscribe ? Categorical answers to these plain questions will enable the public, especially at a distance, to understand whether this undertaking has the real support of the respectable parties in Scotland, under whose auspices it has been ushered before the public, and what confidence is to be placed in the vague statements of its merits contained in the Prospectus. ABILL for the construction of a R a il wa y f rom Lan caster to Carlisle, being the first section of the Na tional Line to Scotland as recommended by the Govern ment Commissioners, having now passed the Committee of the House of Commons, the parties who have long had before them the project of the completion of that route are now in a condition to submit it to the public. Of the proposed Capital of £1,800,000 one-third, or £600,000, is already taken by the Railway Companies in terested in the success of the undertaking, and by land owners in the districts through which the line will pass. The northern termini, for the present, being Edinburgh and Glasgow, it is proposed (subject to such modifications as may be found needful) to continue the Lancaster line from Carlisle, and following the course recommended by the Government Commissioners, along the valleys of the Annan and the Clsde, by Lockerby, Symington, and La nark, to diverge at a point about 70 miles from Carlisle, to Edinburgh on the east, and (partly by means of exist ing lines of railway) to Glasgow on the west. So long ago as 1836 Mr. Locke's attention was given to this line, and surveys were made under his immediate di rection, since which time he has frequently examined it, and he now assures the Committee that their object can, beyond doubt, be attained (the number of miles of new railway now to be made being only about 112) at an out lay not exceeding £1,800,000. With regard to the advantage of this route as compared with any other, the Committee need only select the fol lowing extracts from the Report of the Government Com missioners, viz. :—" So far as regards the interest of the traveller, both in respect to the economy of his time and of his purse, the preferable route for the railway commu nication to Edinburgh and Glasgow would be by the pro posed Carlisle and Lockerby lines ;" and " if, t here fore, any parties should be ready to undertake the execution of this proposed Clydesdale Railway, they would certainly I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, VERITA S.
