This line was incorporated by an Act, which received the Royal
Assent on the-22d of May, 1829. A second Act was obtained in
1832, a third in 1835, and a fourth in 1838. The capital autho-
rized to be raised by these Acts, is 750,0001. Number of shares,
6,000, of 100/. The line was partially opened in 1838, and com.
pleted and opened to the public on the anniversary of the Battle of
Waterloo, in 1839, the works occupying nine years for their ex-
ecution. This line, when completed to Maryport, will run across
the northern isthmus of England, and connect the Irish sea with
the North sea; it will form one of the principal arms on the great
line of communication between England and the cities of Edin.
burgh and Glasgow. The Commission appointed by Government
have lately reported upon the coast-line to Scotland, and the Newcastle
and CarEple Railway forms a part of their plan. The gage of the
way is 4 feet 81% inches, and there are two tunnels, and several
very well built viaducts, particularly those of Weatherall, Corby, and
one over the River Gelt. The cutting through the Cowran Hills
is an eternal memorial of the skill of Mr. Blackmore, the engi.
neer. It was intended that the tunnel should have been carried
through this ground, but the nature of the soil, consisting of clay
and soft sand, compelled the engineers to make an open cutting.
The Railway runs through some very beautiful scenery, and is 61
miles 67 chains altogether. There is a branch to Redheugh to
join the Brandling Junction, and an extensive line to the canal
basin at Carlisle.
