The project, as no w limited, consists, first, of the Branch froM
Lesmahagow to the Clydesdale Junction Railway at Hamilton,
opening a direct cm omunication from the most valuable mineral
field in the West of f icotland to the city of Glasgow, from which, a
very large return may be expected, as:the gas coal of LesmalrA,gow
is well known for its superior quality, and for that deserill'ilon of
coal there is now an unlimited demand for exportation, r.s well as
for home consumptkon. The funds already in the hands, of t Di-

MAMMOTH LOCOMOTIVES.—The Great Western Com-
pany have just completed three most powerful locomotive engines,
built upon the plan and under the superintendence of Mr. Brunel,
assisted by Mr. Gooch, the superintendent of the locomotive depart-
ment. The dimensions of the Great Western engine (the leviathan
of locomotives) are, diameter of driving wheel, 8 feet; cylinder, 18
inches ; stroke, 24 inches; boiler, between 15 and 16 feet; weight of
engine, 36 tons, without water ; weight of the tender, without either
coke or water, 10 tons : making a total of 46 Ms. This enormous en-
gine, built for passenger trains, drew a train weighing
136 tons up the incline at Wootton Bassett with as
much ease and as fast as one of Übe smaller engines
would a passenger train. The engine Queen .qs likewise for Psc:
senger trains, and was built at Swindon—driVbl g
