NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE AND CARLISLE RAIL-
ROAD.
PROSPECTUS. •
The improvement of the communication between Newcastle-
upon-Tyne and Carlisle, or rather betweett the German Ocean
and the Irish Channel, has occupied the attention of the Public
at different periods during - the last half century. The recent
formation of a Canal from the Solway Frith to Carlisle has re-
vived the subject, and a strong feeling of the expediency of
completing the Line of Communication has been excited ; there
appeared to be but one opinion as to the advantages of the mea-
sure, and the only doubt entertained was, whether it would be
best effected by a continuation of the Cartel already formed, or
by a rail-road communicating with it.
During the summer Assizes of last year, a numerous and
respectable County Meeting, convened by the High Sheriff of
Northumberland, was held-at Newcastle, and a Committee was
appointed to inquire into the practicability of improving the ex-
isting communication between Newcastle and Carlisle, and the
comparative eligibility of effecting that improvement by a
Canal or a rail-road.
The Committee have since proceeded diligently in the per-
formance of the duties confided to then:. They have availed
themselves of the advice and assistance of Mr. Chapman and
Mr. Jessop, civil engineers of eminence (the former possessing
considerable local information); and after a full investigation of ,
the subject, they have closed their labours by a report, in which
they state their opinion, that the establishment of a communica-
tion by a rail-road, between Newcastle and Carlisle, • is a un-
dertaking which will be advantageous to these who may embark
in it, at the same time that it is en object of great importance
both to the landed and commercial interests of this part of the
kingdom, and that its execution will open a country rich in mi-
neral productions, and tend materially to promote agriculture,
manufactures and commerce.'
• Thia report was presented - by Sir Juhn Edward Satinburne,
Baronet, the Chairman of the CorturlitteeellO a County Meeting,
convened by the High Sherill'of Northumberland, and held at
Newcastle on the 26th inst., When it was resolved, "That the
meeting, concurring in the view taken of the subject by the
Committee, consider the establishment of a communication by.
a rail-road between Newcastle and Carlisle an object worthy of
the countenance of the country."
Under these encouragiagcircurnatatices, the measure propos-
ed has been entered upon. It is strongly supported by the
• landed interests, united by the commercial and manufacturing
interest, at each extremity of the line of communication, and
, no doubt can be entertained of its being prosecuted effectually.
- • It may with confidence be asserted, that there are few, if any
situations in Great Britain which present a surer prospect of
success to such an underteking: there are no existing canal
interests to interfere with or to be injured by the proposed rail-
road ; the country on both sides of the line abounds in lead,
coal, lime, and other mineral productions,- the transit of which
on different portions of the line, independent of that of mer-
chandize from one extremity to the other, has been estimated
alone to produce a revenue sufficient to compensate those who
may engage in the undertaking. At the same time, imperfect
as is the
_present medium of communication, the. carriage of t
merchandise between Newcastle and Carlisle is so considerable
as to justify the confident expectation of n large additional
return from that source when the proposed facilities of con-
veyance shall be afforded. The whole line of way is pe-
culiarly favourable for taking the utmost advantage of steam
power, abounding as it does with coal, which may be obtained
at a cheap rau.
The country, through which the rail-road is intended to pass,
has been on former occasions more than once accurately stir,
vcyed, with a view to a canal, which was thin contemplated; but
a minute survey has not yet been made for the present purpose,
no: has; Imprecise line nt'the proposed rail-road been definitely
fixed, though Mr. Chapman aed Mr..lessop have both examin-
ed the country, and suggested their ideas on the subject. There
is not, however, the slightest doubt but tile line may be so ar-
.ranged, that no annoyance or inconvenience will be attendant
on the benefits which must be derived to those landowners
through whose property it passes.
The proposed line communicates with the Tyne at New.
castle, and terminates at the basin of the canal at Carlisle, and
the whole length is 64 miles and a half. The expence of exe-
cuting the work has been estimated by 3lr. Chapman at
252,4881.; to this estimate Mr. Jessop has thought it right to
snake an addition of 40,0001., on account of the advance in the
price of iron, and some oter circumstances, making in the
whole 2.1)2.488/., which includes an allowance of no less a sum
than 32,933/. for incidents and unforeseen expences.
It is intended that the.undertakiog shall he placed Wader the
management of a Board of Directors, assisted by such Sub-
boards as may hereafter be appointed by the subscribers.
The capital required for the undertaking is 300,0001., di-
vided into 3,000 shares of 1001. each; of-which one-sixth part
is reserved for the landowners of the country, through which the
line passes. 'l'lle capital will be placed under the controta of
the Board of Directors, by whom the shares will be issued to
the Subscribers.
• An advance of 21. per cent. on the sum subscribed is required
to be paid into the hands of the Bankers of • the Company, to
the account of the Board of Directors, and the remainder will
he called for at the discretion of the Board : but no further ad-
vance will be required until the plans and surveys shall have
been completed, and an Act of Parliament obtained.
