GREAT NEW SOUTH WALES RAILWAY,
from NEWCASTLE, in the Colony of NeXT South Wales, to
1111.AITLAND, and from thence to SAGENHOE, near the foot of the
iverpool Range, through or near BLACK CREEK, BELFORD.
C. ASTLE FORBES, DARLINGTON, SINGLETON, and MUSCLE
pi 1%17'N : With power to make branches and extensions, as suitable
to the local wants of the district.
Arrangements were made in the year 1646 for the construction of
th is line of railway, it being then considered as one of paramount
ioportance to the interests of the colony. The temporary check
pat occurred in the mercantile affairs of New South Wales, about
ghat period, caused the promoters to abandon their project until a
revival of commercial coniklence.
Tile gold discoveries on the estates of several of the land corn-
gianies and private proprietors in the Maitland district, have ren-
. bared the conveniencies of transit at present existing to be quite in-
s edequate to the requirements consequent upon this recent develop-
ment of the resources of the colony, and the promoters are, there-
-1 fire, now induced to proceed with their project.

The length of the line will be about 80 miles, and will effect a ray-
hug of nearly 100 miles over the present circuitous route by the River
Hunter, and will furnish communication to the different counties and
districts of Northumberland, Hunter, Durham, Gloucester, Phillip,
Brisbane, and other districts, comprising a population of nearly one-
fourth of the whole colony.
There is already a very large traffic in passengers, goods, cattle, mine-
rals. coals, and agricultural produce along the line, and there can be no
loubt that, by opening the resources of this part of the colony, rich in
agricultural productions, as well as auriferous deposits, and by effect-
Mfg a saving of distance, time, and expense in the transit, the traffic
'Will be greatly increased, and will prove highly remunerative; and
the gradients of the line are exceedingly favourab e, and the cost of
'instruction will be unusually low ; the promoters, therefore, have
every confidence of an ample return on the required capital.
Prospectuses, with an influential committee. comprising some of
the leading merchants and gentlemen connected with the colony,
resident there and !n this country, will shortly be issued, of which
due notice will be given; and, in the meantime, all communications
are to be made to the solicitors, Messrs. Carritt and Osgood, 24,
Masingball-street.
