.wAv.—Great efforts are beino• made by .the local land-
owners, and meetings have been hell with a view of ob-
taining a railway through these districts, which are the
only important mineral localities now devoid of such ac-
commodation. The proposed line would form the quickest
and shortest route between Leeds and London on the south
and Carlisle and Scotland
_on the north. It would join the
North-Eastern systems,
tilde Newcastle and Carlisle,
centering Great
uponeedDlisd,laNnvdit„ha
North British, Glasgow and South-Western, and Cale-
donian systems, centering up9n Carlisle. The surveys and
sections have been comloleted Under the direction of Mr.
Fulton, the engineer, and the cost is estimated by him at
1 the moderate rate of £lO,OOO a mile.
