NonTliuNinEr.LAND R.til,wAy.--ft was filially
resolved, at a General Meeting at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, on
Saturday last, (ANTHONY GILEGSON, Esq. Sheriff of Nor-
thumberland in the ('hair), that a Rail-road be formed between
Newcastle and Carlisle. This Resolution was founded upon a
Report of the Committee, which was appointed at a General
County Meeting, on the 21st day of August last, " to inquire
whether a better communication between Newcastle and Car-
lisle was practicable, and whether it would be most adviseable
to carry it into effect by a Bail-road or a Canal." In the esti-
iicttion of the Committee, judging from the Reports of Mr.
CHAPMAN and Mr. JEssop, the Engineers who surveyed the
(h.:trice, a Canal could-noel:a made at a less sum than between
nine hundred thousand pounds and a million,—whereas a Rail_
. way might be executed at or under three hundred thousand
poands. Such an immense sav'ng, independently df other cir-
- .cmiistances, naturally led to the determination that has been
core to. 'We trust there will be no lack of public spirit to
_ n proper encouragement to so mp ‘rtant an undertaking;
it cannot be questioned, that the nt ended Railway will prove
at the greatest. utility both to the landed and commercial hate-
resta in the Northern part of the Kingdom,—in as much as it
w AI, in the language of the Committee), " open a country rich
in mineral productions, and tend materially to promote agri-
culture, manufactures, and commerce." As soon as the Meet-
was over, subscriptions were entered into to the amount of
Deady :19,0001.

TYNE SUSPENSION BitIDGF.. numerous
seting of the Subscribers to the Chain-Bridge at Shields, was
heid at Oyston's Long Room, South Shields, on Thursday the
ttth March, GEORGE TOWNSEND Fox, Esq. in the Chair.
WM. CHAPMAN Esq. (Banker) spoke at some length, urging
these who were friend!), to the measure to come forth with
aiacrity.. As to himself, he would take double the number of
shares he originally subscribed fbr—his five should be ten
shares.—(Several other Gentlemen did the same.)—From a
calculation of the tolls, 1101. 18s. 2d. weekly, nearly 6,0001. per
annum, might be expected to arise from the bridge ; and as
ow sin Brown had offered to complete the structure for 93,0001.1
the ling was every way encJuraging. The bridge would be of
the utmost importance to the towns of North and South Shields,
and would, with proper attention, be completed on the basis of
its own merits. He therefore earnestly entreated the inhabitants
of the two towns to come forward. They did not want the as-
sistance or the countenance of great men, although such
assistance was acceptable enough in the ordinary way of
things. Mr. Chapman adverted to the support offered by
the Dean and Chapter of Durham, and to the communica-
tion had with the Corporation of Newcastle, who must first
confer with the Board of Admiralty, before any thing decisive
coeld be determined upon. Although his Grace the Duke of
Northumberland was not a 'Subscriber at present, probably
owing to the question of the Navigation not yet being settled,
his Grace promised, in case the measure was persevered in, to
support it in Parliament.—[Mr. Chapman's Address was much
applauded.]—Joss TINLEY, Esq. of North Shields, appealed
to the Patriotism of the District to carry into effect a measure
which would raise a monument unsurpassed in any country
both for its utility and its elegance.—[Mr. T. spoke at some
length, and with great ability; we are sorry to be so meagre
in. our sketch.] —Thanks being voted to the Chairman, the
Meeting was dissolved. .Several additional subscribers have
been announced. Amongst others, Messrs. Forster and Jan-
son have put their names down for 50 shares. It is added,
that offers-have been received from an eminent house in Lon-
don to take the whole of the speculation into its own hands.
If the Admiralty and the Corporation of Newcastle-upon-
Tyne oppose no obstacles, there can be little doubt of the ac-
complishment of this grand undertaking.
