PARLIAMENTAIT A.GEWT.—Messrs. Parratt and Walmsley, Palace-
yard, Westminster

While two gigantic projects are struggling forviCtory, which, if
obtained, would inevitably prove ffilitleSs,`the dense and wealthy
population between LiliColti and York, and between Lincoln and
Leeds, are left unsupplied with railway accommodation. Not less
ambitious of accomplishing a great public benefit, the projectors of
the Lincoln, York, and Leeds Junction Railway have adopted Lin-
coln (with 30,000 inhabitants), York (with 40,000), and Leeds (with
152,000), as the termini of their line ; and, calculating Upon the ulti-
mate success of the Cambridge and Lincoln Bill le the ensuing ses-
sion of Parliament, propose to Complete the whole line of rail from
London to York and Leeds by the execution of this design.
Leaving Lincoln, the proposed line will be taken by Saxelby and
Lea to Gaiesborough, where it will cross the Trent, and thence to
Haxey-gate, whence a branch will issue to DonCester. At this lat-
ter place a communication will be formed with projected lines from
Manchester and Sheffield to the port of Goole ; and by this arrange-
ment a communication will be opened with the inexhaustible coal
fields of Elteoar and Silkstone—a species not inferior to that Of Du,
ham and Sunderland—as well as with the limestone quarries at
Yrarrnsworth, so valuable for building purposes.
Proceeding to Thorne, the line readhes inaith, and, continuing its
direct course westward to Selby, near to which it is crossed by the
Hull and Selby Railway, will have its northern terminus at the city
of York,

At Thorne, or some convenient point near to it, an auxiliary line
will emanate from the main trunk to Miter% and either by Means
of the proposed branch to the Wakefield, Pontefract and Goole line
to that place, or by an independent course, as May hereafter be deter-
mined upon, will run through Pontefract aired to Leeds. By this
means the whole of the mantlfachiring districts of the West Riding
of Yorkshire and Lancashire Will be rendered easily accessible.
This line Will be the Shortest between Lincoln and York ; LincOln
and Leeda ; Lincoln and Selby ; York and Selby; add %IA and

The gradients throughout the lint Ai e i 4 ftiVOurable, that none exceed
15% feet in the mile, an itistaitce unparalleled, if the length of it be
taken into consideration. There will be no tunnels ; the works will
everywhcit be light ; no invasion of ornamental propetty" ti liectis-
saryt and the local interests have expressed theiliseiVeS faVottrabh to
the project.

Fioni the cothblnation 01' achtahtsget, facilities; and patronage
from the groat breadth of new dotintry to be supplied With railway
accommodation—M'oderate cost labotit oh the Ilne—enormous
supply of materials, and encouraging traffic returns—an interest of
ten per cent. oh Vested Sapititl is confidently expected, exclusive of it
fair allowance for Working expenses.
Power will be taken in the Bill to allow intereit at phi fate of four
per cent. on all deposits.
The plans and section' of the Lincoln, York, and Leeds Company,
being now in the 00-Sheasion of the promoters of this Company, an
immense ettsillik of expense will thereby be gained.
