I° NOON NORTHERN RAIL -ROAD COhl-
-RA PAN Y.—The advantages of a speedy, cheap, and certain
communication between the great towns in the manufacturing dis-
tricts of England and the Metropolis, have at all limes attracted
public attention. The beneficial influence of such a communica-
tion, improved to its utmost degree of perfection, upon thou main
sources of threat Britain's wealth and power, her manufactures, and
her commerce both foreign and domestic, is ton obvious to neel
any comment or illustration. Various modes of conveyance for
goods or passengers, poriessing respectively their peculiar advan-
tag es, have accordingly from time to time beci devised, and have
con (*tided for a preference with much benefit to the community.
The principle of extending such communication by the mans of
flail-route, has already. in a multitude of instances, undergone the
test of experiment, and its superior utility, under many circum-
stances of inevitable occurrence, is sufficiently established. Both
the principle and practice, however, by the progress of science,
have Men receiving, and still sunlit of, improvement.
In 'summing, therefore, to open and facilitate, upon this principle,
a more commodious intercourse betwixt the Metropolis and im-
portant Towns, and districts to the Northwards, to the distance of
Manchester and " The London Northern Rail-Road Com-
pany" do not proceed upon speculative and uncertain grounds. To
facilitate and increase that intercourse, and also that with the in-
termediate important towns of Birmingham, Macclesfield, Derby,
Nottingham, Leicester, and Northampton, and that of the great sue-
, nufacturing district between Manchester and Ilell,thusalfordingthe
opportunity for useful extension by branches from the main line,
will be ialinitted to be an object well deserving public support, and
consistent with the policy entertained by the most enlightened
Members of our Government and Legislature, in affording the
greatest possible encouragement to Commercial Enterprise, and to
the free circulation of Capital.
The Promoters of the London Northern Ilaibroad, although not
the earliest in that career of public improvement, bare directed their
view to the increased prosperity of the Metropolis, and of places
with which its intercourse of primery importance.
