• EnINBURaII, NOV. 22, 1830.
AT a Meeting of the Committee appointed
by the Subscribers,
411iES GIBSON-CRAIG, Esq. of Riccarton, Preses,
ttIIgSOLVEO,
• 1.. That the Subscribers to the New Company recently,
Organised, having given public notice of their intention to
kIPIY for an Act, to form a Railway in the Line connected:
bolt the Garnkirk Railway and Blythswood Tunnel, it
loailsocorne expedient, for the reasons after alluded to, to
sithrone the General Meeting of the Subscribers to the
final Company, proposed to be held on the 24th current.
2. That the Committees of the Original Company have
t.sedonsly endeavoured to ascertain the best Liam of Rail-
Waj in a public point of view, between the Cities of
tlitiburgh anti Glasgow, and between the Ports of Leithd
,
Broonvielaw, by procuring repeated Surveys of the in.
tervtining country, and by investigating. every circumstance
for or against the success and utility of the Railway ; and,
is particular, have bad anxiously in view, and, in the
'election of the South Line, have, they are satisfied, been
mecessfnl•in attaining, the following objects:-•lst. The
advantage of traversing a mineral country, without any
sacriflce of the directness and graduality of ascent, desirable
I° amine of thorough communication • 2d. A superiority
eaccess to:the Cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, and of
owinection with the Porte of Leith and Broemielaw ; 3d.
The opening up of a new country, and the complete
%voidance of all interference with existing Canals, Rail-
Mays, and Roads ; 4th. The facility of union with other
Attu lwayi,--such as the Dalkeith Railway, and projected
ralat'Lothian Railway, at the East End of the Line, and
t,ke ?Woo and Govan Railway, and proposed Paisley
hls at, the. West End.
•-'3l That Mr. Jardine, the Engineer employed by the
Committee, has, in accordance with the spirit of his in-
fteuctions, made it his study to select a Line without re-
lference to any private interest ; and it is satisfactory to
ad that the Line recommended by him (though sue-
SePtible of some improvements suggested by himself) is as
Short and as favourable in point of ascents, as any other
that hes yet been surveyed.
4. That the Line surveyed by Mr. Jardine is capable of
being united, with perfect ease and mutual advantage, to
the Dalkeith Railway, by means of which, and of the
branch Railway from the Dalkeith Line to Leith, a con-
Uirtilin with that Port is already secured without expense;
dad the Committees' have learned with satisfaction, that
‘,11,0 Committee of the Dalkeith Railway Company cor-
"stily approve of the proposed junction. The Line in
question is also capable of being united, with similar ease
llnd advantage, to the Polloc and Govan Railway, which
tutainates at the Harbour of Broomielaw ; and the Pro-
ttOrsof that Railway are also friendly to the proposed
tam. In connecting, therefore, the Edinburgh and
inaAftuW Railway with the Porte of Leith and Broomie-
h• bY the existing Railways before mentioned, the diffi-
-4,i11y and uncertainty of effecting such connections through
eue'vUburbs of the Cities will be avoided, and an expense,
estimated at 65,1431. will be saved.
5- That, by tEe precipitate measure already alluded to,
Olgiving notices for an Act for the North or Garnkirk
Lib it is made evident that the desire and intention of
hCammittee of the New Company is to carry through
t particular Line, without reference to the interest of
the public, or the comparative merits of different Lines.
G. That the Line so projected is extremely ineligible,
7 the following.among other reasons :—l. The connec-
„Y with • the . Ilrooratelaw by Blythswood Tunnel, and
;I 'connection :witklatalth by the water of Leith, will not
• allowed by Parliament, or, if allowed, will be ruin-
sttly expensive in the execution, and inconvenient when
!teemed. 2. The access to Glasgow by the Garnkirk
ailwis upon a height 160 feet above the level of the city,
to Which height goods must be conveyed by precipitous
'beets; and it is obvious that " it will be a matter of
true difficulty and expense to cart from the lower to the
inner :level," as has been remarked by Messrs. Grainger
%Id Miller, in their Report upon the Wishaw Railway.
a• There is reason to believe that the distribution of ascent
to the North or Garnkirk Line, is unequal and inconve-
°iint, while there will be no saving in point of length.
4. The North Line will be almost wholly dependent for a
esterme on the conveyance of Passengers, while speculative
L'itioipations of increased numbers is not warranted by the
'Mations existing between the Cities,—and on the carriage
of Goods, which will be limited in quantity, and will be
—*red with the Canals. 5. The projected North or
9atokirk Line interferes materially with the works of ex-
borlies-cerporate, who will have claims of damage
*tatunting to a total prohibition, even although an Act
wets to be obtained. In particular, it crosses the Forth
Clydesail Canal,—runs parallel to the hlonkland Canal,
"crosses the. Kirkintilloch Railway,—interferes with
teti runs
parallel to the Ballochney Itailway,—intersects
• "athgate Turnpike-road,—crosses the Union Canal,-
14nd willl4 intersects the Edinburgh Turnpike-road to Uphall ;
prove highly injurious to the patrimonial interests
of all these undertakings.
e.,17. That the existence of a rival Company will have the
eq.,7P of preventing many prudent, reflecting, and info-
pal persona from taking shares in either of the con-
'ern' > and this Meeting being convinced that the intended
aPplieations to Parliament, for Acts to make the projected
144th or Garnkirk Line, and Blythswood Tunnel, must
unsucceesful, are of opinion that the most effectual
.77 of attaining the object of the original Subscribers,
sanely, the formation of the best Line for the public,
s to await the progress and result of these applications.
thhi That, accordingly, the General Meeting, called for
e 84th curt., shall be postponed till a future day, of
4„1.11 notice shall be given.
That in the meantime, the Committees shall con-
,22A
tae to receive Subscriptions ; and the Public generally,
,
,;:st the Subscribers to the North or Garnkirk Line who
not approve of the exchisive adoption of that Line,
Invitedita-,
to take .ehares in this undertaking, upon the
440 ttge that the very best Line for the public shall be
:Quit Ind that, although the Committees are convinced
,irin the Line surveyed by Mr. Jardine is upon the whole
or,lttituly the beat that has yet been suggested, the opinionti
I,ltimer eminent Engineers shall be obtained before the
lie:Mete adoption of any Line, the choice of which shall
t,lstt to the decision of a General Meeting of Subscribers,
sgr such • .
• opinions have been obtained.
grw• That the parties- taking Shires shall not be liable
ntore than two pounds percent. of their Subscriptions,
der deduction of the instalment already paid, until a
, • sacral Meeting shall resolve upon proceeding with the
• Overtaking
ail 1. That applications for Shares shall be received in
