Line and the Sea. The population to which coal will be thus cheap-
ened will not be short, of 1,000,000, and the average reduction of
price will not be so little as ss. per ton. • It has been found that the
consumption of coal is equal to one ton per head of any given
amount of population. The public benefit in this particular will,
therefore, not be less than 250,0001. per annum.
The London and York Line will be an integral and independent
Line throughout. It will have its London Terminus at King's-cross
(unquestionably the most central situation for the combined objects
of Passengers, Goeds,, and Cattle), and , its York Terminus within
the City Walls, a few hundred yards from the present 'Railway
Station. It will, however, communicate with the Great North of
-England, at York—the North Midland, near Nonnanton—the Leeds
andafanchester, at Wakefield- 41124,-the Sheglehl and Maneheater,
at Sheffieki--tikreby completing the chain orßailway communica-
tion between Liverpool and Boston.
With reference to the schemes projected as rival Lines to the Lon-
don and York, the accompanying Table of Distances will explain
their relative length, and show that the London and York is by far
the shortest (except in the comparison of mileage with tho Direct
Northern, upon the Trunk Line, between London and York). For
the entire trade of the district, the London and York is still shorter
than the Direct Northern. It runs directly from the agricultural
districts to the manufacturing markets and coal field ; whilst the
Direct Northern has no such connexion, except by the circuitous
route of the York and North Midland Lines. R also better suits the
trade to the Southern market in London, because it extends through
Peterborough directly into the heart of the feeding and corn-producing
district,-whilst-the Direct Northern passes away to the West. As
far, therefore, as the trade and supply of coal to the district is con-
cerned, the London and York has the entire superiority.
Even as a Main Trunk between London and York, though it is (as
has carefully ascertained) seven miles (but not more than seven
nine tger than the Direct Northern, yet it would work its trains
from L radon to York more expeditiously than its rival, from the dr-
il,
cumstance of its having no drawbridge to pass, 'whilst the Direct
'Northern has two such bridges ;—and also from its running through
almost all the towns of the district, needing only two branches—
whilst the Direct Northern, passing at a distance from nearly every
town, would require eight branches, varying from one to ten miles in
length. The time lost by passing two open bridges (to say nothing of
the danger) would be more than that necessary to run four miles ;
and every branch involving at the junction, either a change of car-
riages and luggage, or the taking on of fresh carriages, causes a delay
seldom so little as five minutes : (practically felt at the Normanton
and Masbro' Midland Stations, at the Rugby, and every other Sta-
tion where lines meet). The time consumed in passing a first-class
station where no branch joins, is not half that interval ; and the loss
of two-and-a-half minutes upon each of the six additional branches
of the Direct Northern, would be sufficient for running the whole
seven miles. But if four miles be deducted for the drawbridges, the
loss of one minute at each of the six junctions would more than com-
pensate for the difference of mileage.
As a Trunk Railway, therefore, without regard to the trade of the
district, the London and York would be the safer and more expedi-
tious of the two.

This line of railway will secure important advantages to the local
and commercial interests of North Wales : it will bring into close
connexion the city and port of Bangor, and the town and port
of Carnarvon.
The line will thence proceed through the great mineral and slate dis-
tricts of Carnarvonshire, in the vicinity of Snowdon. Llanberis, Nevin,
Pwllheli, to Porth Dynllaen, in the same county, situated in its
chief agricultural district. The whole length of the line is twenty-
eight miles.
Porth Dynllaen is well known as a safe and commodious harbour,
possessing great natural advantages, and situated near the extremity
of one of the headlands bounding Carnarvon Bay, Holyhead forming
the other.
The harbour possesses great advantages, as a harbour of refuge,
over every other port on the coast of North Wales, as is proved by
the Custom-house books of the port, which show that no fewer than
3.315 vessels put In there for shelter during the years 1840, 1841,
1842, and 1843.
The commanding maritime importance of the situation will be evi-
dent, when it is considered that North Wales supplies nearly the
whole world with slate, and that this can be readily shipped
at Porth Dynllaen from all the principal quarries, including the
celebrated quarries of Penrhyn and Dinorwig, under circumstances
which will reduce the freights to all parts of the South of Ireland,
South Wales, and the South of England, including London and
Bristol, to one-half of their present amount. This is a fact unde-
niable, as not only will a reduction of almost sixty miles be effected
in the length of the voyage, but the dangerous bar of Carnarvon,
and the hazardous navigation of the Swillies within the Straits will
be avoided, and a variety of extra River dues saved.
The copper, lead, and other mines, and the valuable stone
quarries at the Rivals, recently opened by a Liverpool Company, con-
tiguous to the proposed line of Railway, will also have thrown open
for their produce this advantageous means of transit to the southern
markets, as well as an immediate railway conveyance to those ports
in direct communication with Liverpool, and consequently with
large foreign markets, as well as those of Scotland, and the northern
and midland counties of England.
The population of Bangor and Carnarvon comprised in the electoral
districts, together with that residing on either side and extremity in
the locality of the proposed line of Railway, amount to upwards of
40,000 persons.
The well-known scenery and antiquities of North Wales have long
been objects of progressively increasing interest to a very large num-
ber of tourists and visitors during the summer and autumn months ;
at Which periods of the year five steam vessels per week run between
Liverpool and Bangor ; and it is on record, that in one year Bangor
was visited by 50,000 persons. •
Upon this part of the subject it is important to notice that the
southern terminus of the line will be directly opposite to the port of
Wicklow, whereby travellers will reach in the most direct manlier
the celebrated scenery of the county of Wicklow, while on this side
this Railway will facilitate immediate access to the romantic districts
of Bethgellert, Tremadoc, Llanberis, and Snowdon.
There are now five public means of conveyance passing daily be-
tweenißangor,Carnarvon, Llanberis,Nevin , and PwllbelLand vice versa,
carrying on an average six passengers each way, which will produce
in a year 17,280 persons. There are kept for the purpose of hire, at
Bangor, the Menai Bridge, Carnarvon, and other places adjacent
to the line, 100 vehicles for public accommodation, which may be
fairly computed to convey three passengers per day for seven months
of the year, going from and returning to places which the line will
command, thus amounting to 100,800 persons.
Of the population adjoining the line of Railway before stated,
amounting to 40,000, it may be fairly estimated that those travel
daily on foot, and in their own means of conveyance, exclusive of
any additional allowance for market and fair days, will supply a daily
source of traffic equal to GO persons ; and calculating that they will
return, they will amount in the year to 34,560 persons.
There are two turnpike-gates between Bangor and Carnarvon, the
tolls of which for single horse vehicles are Is., being at the rate of
lid. per mile. These gates were let last year, exclusive of the cost of
collection, for 5211. per annum.
There are held In different parts of Carnarvonshire, adjacent to this
Line, more than forty fairs in the course of the year. The cattle,
sheep, and pigs, collected at these fairs are now driven to different
parts of England, and forni the great export of North Wales ; and it
is but reasonable to suppose that when a Railway communication
shall be established, that mode of conveyance will be preferred.
It was said by Sir Robert Peel, on his introduction of the tariff, that
the importation of cattle from Ireland increased, in twenty years,
from 17,000 head into all the English ports, to 100,000 head, into
Liverpool alone. The extensive chain of Railways now forming in
Ireland, and the completion of the proposed lines of Railway between
Kingstown and Wicklow, and Waterford and Wicklow, will cause the
Irish cattle traffic, which at present enters England by Liverpool and
Bristol, to be concentrated on Porth Dynllaen, the sea voyage be-
tween Wicklow and Forth Dynllaen being shorter, by five geographical
miles, than by any other ports in the English and Irish Channels;
and shorter, by one-half, than between those ports which now enjoy
the Irish cattle trade. •
The course of this Line by the engineer's report and sections, is
exceedingly favourable, both as respects gradients and the inexpensive
character of the works. The cost of the Railway, and of the pro-
posed improvement of the Harbour, does not exceed 300,0001.
The Plans, Sections, and Books of reference have been duly de-
posited in the proper &apartments, and application will be made for an
Act in the present session of Parliament.
Arrangements have been made with responsible contractors to
complete the Railway within the engineer's estimates, both as to
time and "amount, and thus the sufficiency of the capital is placed
beyond a doubt. '
In preparing the estimate of the returns to be expected, as shown
in the traffic table subjoined, the calculation has been based with
much care upon the most authentic accounts It was possible to
procure. The result is highly satisfactory, and the undertaking offers
an eligible field for investment, the clear profits being found equal to
upwards of twelve percent. on the capital to be employed.

JOHN WIDOWSON, Secretary,

It is needless-, in the present state of public feeling against the an-
noyance and delays caused by short branches, to add, that every town
within the district is strongly opposed to any Line which does not pass
immediately through it.
With reference to the other rival lines—one by Cambridge direct to
Lincoln and thence direct to York—the other from Cambridge by Ely
and the coast by Boston, Lincoln, Doncaster, and South Milford to
York—the subjoined Table of Distances shows the first to be 14 miles
and the second 35 miles longer than the London and York, whilst
neither of them afford anything like equal accommodation to the trade
of the districts ; and both of them leave out of their consideration the
towns and district of Huntingdon, Stamford, Grantham, Newark, and
Retford, and abandon the county of Bedford.
These Lines, however, are so well known to be purely obstructite
Lines, devised by a combination of existing Railway interests, to pre-
vent the making of any new Lino between London and York, which
would be more convenient to the. Public titan the Western Lines
through Derby, and the schemes are so devoid of public sympathy or
support, that it may be unnecessary further to remark upon them.
The Distances marked are all by Rail, excepting:where .‘ road,"
is mentioned, and in such cases the total distance includes the road.

" The London and York Railway will pass through the Towns of
Hatfield, Biggleswade, Huntingdon, Peterborough, Grantham,
Newark, Retford, Bawtry, Doncaster, and Selby. An East Lincoln-
shire Line will leave the North and South Trunk near Peterborough,
and will pass through Spalding, Boston, Lincoln, Gainsborough, and
Bawtry to Sheffield—having a branch to Rotherham. There will be
a branch seven miles long from the Main Line to,Bedford ; another
to Stamford ; from Doncaster a branch will be taken to Wakefield.
The distance from London to York will be reduced 331 miles ; to
Selby and Hull, 40 ; to Leeds, 20 ; to Wakefield, Halifax, Bradford,
and Huddersfield, 26 ; to Sheffield, 12 ; to Doncaster, 30 miles ; Ro-
therham, 10 ; Barnsley, 9, as compared with existing Railways?'

" The London and York will be seven miles longer than the Direct
Northern, but the whole distance will be accomplished in the same,
and perhaps even in less, time ; fbr the trains of the Direct Northern
must be considerably delayed at the branches proposed for the several
Towns which it leaves, from one to ten miles east and west of its
course ; it must also cross two opening bridges , which (independently
of the danger), cannot fail to cause loss of time."

" The London and York will be 14 miles shorter than the Cam-
bridge, Peterborough and Lincoln Direct Line to York ; the latter is
to cross four opening bridges : is to leave Huntingdon, Sleaford, Spal-
ding, Boston, Stamford, Grantham, Newark, Retford and Doncaster,
several miles to the east or west.

" The London and York w ill be shorter than the Cambridge, Ely
and Boston Line (proposed by the Midland Railway Company, which
leaves Peterborough and all the Towns upon the Great North Road,
except Bawtry and Doncaster, from 20 to 30 miles on the west of its
course), by 35 miles to York ; 45 to Selby and Hull ; 41 to Wakefield ;
40 to Sheffield ; and 33 to Doncaster."

" The London and York will cross the projected Wakefield and
Goole Railway near Snaith."

The Railway is intended to provide for a portion of Middlesex,
Hertfordshire, and Bedfordshire, and for the whole of Huntingdon-
shire, North Northamptonshire, Rutland, Lincolnshire, and North
Nottinghamshire, which at present have no such accommodation, a
direct railway communication with London southward, and with
Yorkshire and Lancashire northward. This will be effected by a
main line passing through the centre of all these districts, excepting
Lincolnshire, and for that county the East Lincolnshire Line, above
described, is provided. The total length of new railway is 327 miles.
The area of country embraced by this scheme is 2,880,000 acres, and
eontains a population of 600,000 and upwards.
The entire disposable produce annually raised within those districts
is sent sOuthward to London, and northward to the north-western
manufacturing districts by most circuitous routes, by canals or coast-
wise. Its annual value is above 6,000,0001., and in its transmission
to its markets it loses upon the average ten per cent. in cost of car-
riage and delays. The projected Railway would reduce this loss by
one half, and confer a benefit upon the district equal to 300,0001. per
„min. It will also facilitate the transit of all articles and goods re •
ceived in return, Welt, estimated at one half the first amount, will
increase the annual benefit to 450,0001.
The gingle item of garden produce, in Bedfordshire, costs the pro-
ducers 20,0001. a year in carriage, whilst a railway would not only
give increased facilities, but save one half the cost of transit. The
public convenience in travelling afforded to a population of 600,000,
now compelled to travel post or by coach, must also be considered.
