Thet the expediency and advaptage of a direct and Om-,
Vete Railway Coeintenication between the Cities of Edin-
largh and Glasgow, and the Port of Leith, in the hest'
Possible direction, are much too obvious to require enu-i
aeration or enforcing here. With the view of promoting,
this abject, they resolve themselves into a Committee,
with power to mid to their number, for the purpose of,
considering the Plan and Sketch laid before the Mee'ingP
tad for raising Subscriptions, and with power to theM,
to Bonn as they shall receive sufficient SuirseriPtions, to

The Committec having met with Mr. Grainger, civil
engineer, whose attention had fur same time been directed
i
the subject, they took into. particular consideration the
(Amery:Wens which he hail drawn up thereon, with the
sketch of the line he proposed.
'fhe Committee, being
u
le as yet to clone h any determination as to the line,
Gould telly at preeentlecOmmeod to Messrs. Grainger and
l
to publish and, circulate their report, with the con-
iction that if their line should ultimately be approved of
tthe best by other skilful, engineers, the Committee can
lit! oo hesitation in, entertaining it.
1.6 CurntUittre considered that the moat effective and
Pnrefitewe
, communication is certainly the one which not
tleret connects the two Cities, but which also unites the
tr. clis of Leith and Glasgow; for without embracing

Lila of the two seas is an importer me
object, the union of the two Cities, within forty-one
elites or each other, and each embracing, with its suburbs,
1 l'''Ptafiti"o id nearly two hundred thousand inhabitants,
usenet fail to render the undertaking a source of liberal
lrinuneration to its promoters.
The Committee, in noticitig the particulars of revenue

"'au overrated in the aggregate, nod that there

'He Committee, in following out the intentions of the
iscvieua Meeting, with the view of proceeding with this
Peet national improvement, further resolve that any three
of their number shall form a Sub-Committee to arrange
lieetinge with the Official Authorities of Folinburgli, Gluts-
t'tc► and Leith, and report their. sentiments.
'l:l4* donunittee'illio consider that the completion of the
undertaking appears;„by the Report, to require a sum of
cline Hundred and Fifty- tour Thousand Pounds to execute
l'ie work. They are of opinion, however, that Four Hon-
