This Railway will commence at a suitable point of the Edinburgh
branch of the Caledonian Rntinny, at or near Mid-Calder, and pro-
ceed westwards, by easy and convenient gradients, accommodating
the populous towns and villages of Livingstone, Bathgate, Blackburn,
intoten, and Clarkstone, to the Airdrie District, where it will form
a junction with the existiag and projected lines to Glasgow and the
West of Scotland.

The populous district traversed by this Railway is one of the rich-
est in Scotland. It abounds in ironstone, coal, limestone, and other
minerals ; and it only requires the advantages of railway accom-
modation to:develop its resources.
The revenue, as a Mineral line alone, should suffice to yield the
largest return legally- exigible by railway proprietors ; and when it
Is considered that, by the junctions already referred to, this line will
form a direct, short, and uninterrupted route between the cities of
Edinburgh and Glasgow, and connect East, West, and Mid Lothian,
and the whole of the eastern counties of Scotland, not merely with
Glasgow, bat with the counties of Renfrew, Ayr, Wigton, and Kirk-
cudbright, and their important seaports, it would be difficult to over-
value the present line as a great national undertaking.
Te those acquainted with the district,3lt is unnecessary to point
out the immense local importance of this line and its dependencies ;
and to the inhabitants of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Greenock, and all
the other towns in the east and west of Scotland, it would be super-
fluous to mention the advantages of such a line, whether as respects
safety and comfort, or economy and expelitien ; but, for the benefit
of those at a distance, it may be well to state that, while it avoids
objectionable tunnels, viaducts, and other heavy works, it is also
shorter, by at least one-sixth of the whole distance, than any other
line between the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, and will further
be the means of conveying, without transhipment, passengers and
goods from the east to the west coast.

The largest proprietors along the line_ have already given their
most cordial assent to this undertaking ; and there cannot be a doubt
that, as it will meet the demands of the public, it will in due time
receivwthiSanction of the Legislature.

The line of Railway intended to be constructed by this Company
will commence at or near Norton Bridge (a station of the Grand
Junction Railway), in the county of Stafford, and proceed from
thence by Eccleshall, Oftley, Norbury, Forton, Newport, Donnington
Wood, Oaken Gates, Priors Lee, Stirchley, Dawley, Madeley, and
Iron Bridge, to Coalbrook-dale ; there, crossing the proposed " Wor-
cester and Crewe Railway," it will pass along the slope of Wenlock-
edge, by Rushbury and Eaton-under-Haywood, to Wistanstow, in
the county of Salop, where it will run into, and form a junction with
the " Shrewsbury, Hereford, and North Wales Railway."
_ .

The line will traverse a rich mineral district, and will have a secure
and extensive traffic by the carriage of coal from the Shropshire
coal-field, to a depot proposed to be formed at Wistanstow, for the
suppW of South Shropshire, part of Radnorshire and Herefordshire,
and also from whence it will be conveyed by the " Hereford, Shrews-
bury, and North Wales Railway," into Montgomeryshire and the
neighbouring counties, where coal does not exist. It is impossible to
calculate the extent to which this traffic may be carried, as by the
direct railway communication thus opened between the Shropshire
coal-field, and the important manufacturing towns of Newtown
and Lianidloes, the price per ton will be reduced one-half at
those places, and the flannel manufacturers, now depend-
ing upon water power, will, by the cheapness of coal, be
enabled to employ steam, and to extend their trade in proportion to
the great demand which exists for the Welsh flannels, in preference
to any other. The importance of this subject will have its due weight
with those who so often witness the bad effects upon the trade, caused
by the stoppage of the mills from an insufficiency of water.
A considerable amount of tonnage is now incurred by the Shrop-
shire ironmasters, for the conveyance of lime-stone from the neigh-
bourhood of Much Wenlock to the furnaces, by several transits of
land and water carriage, whereas the proposed railway will convey
it direct into the heart of the works, and at one-third of the expense.
By its junction with the " Grand Junction" and the " Hereford
and Shrewsbury" Railways, this line will form a direct communica-
tion between Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, York and Hull, and
Swansea and South Wales.

As a junction line alone (connecting as it will such important rail-
ways), s large passenger traffic may be depended upon, but when it
Is considered that the centre of the line passes through a densely-
populated mining district, and the remainder through a thriving
agricultural neighbourhood, it will be obvious that a sufficient local
traffic exists to pay a highly remunerative interest on the amount of
capital required to be embarked.
The line, which will not interfere with any property of an orna-
mental or costly character, will not exceed 46 miles in length, and
will be constructed at much less than the average cost.
Such important local co-operation has been secured, that no oppo-
sition is anticipated or can be sustained against the measure.
Thor liability of the Shareholders will be limited, by the Act, to the
amount of their subscription to the capital stock ; and power will be
applied for Wallow interest at the rate of four per cent. per annum
on the ouseawkot the deposit, and upon the further calls, from the

The great difficulty, delay, and expense attending the transit of
passengers and goods from Kingston to Montego Bay and the Inter-
mediate ports, either by sea or land, is well known ,to all persons
c ,nversant with the island of Jamaica.
The average passage by steamer between Montego Bay and
Kingston occupies forty-four hours, and the costs, including expenses
on the route, amount to nearly 51. each passenger ; while the quickest
journey by land occupies three days, and the expenses, including
horse hire, reach nearly 201. By the railway the whole line will be
traversed in eight hours, at an expense not exceeding an average of
30s. per passenger.
The difference in the freights between the northern and southern
sides of the Island and England is such, that, independently of the
saving of time, this railway will enable proprietors on the northern
side, after payment of the costs of transit, to ship their produce at
much less expense than at present, and will afford them the ad-
vantage of shipping at all times from the very excellent harbour of
Kingston, Instead of being confined, as they now arc, to the exposed
Ports of the east and north of the island.
The line will commence at a spacious qUay, to be constructed at
Kingston Harbour, with a depth of water sufficient for vessels of
the largest tonnage employed in the export trade of the island, at or
near which point It Is proposed to form a junction with the Kingston
and Spanish Town Railway, and proceed thence by or near Rock
Fort, Yallahs, Morant Town, Port Morant, Plantain Garden, Man-
chioneal Harbour, Port Antonio, Buff Bay, Annotto Bay, Port
Maria, St. Ann's, Duncan, Martha Brae, and terminate at or near
Montego Bay. By these means a line of intercommunication will be
formed between the most important and populous places, and facility
offered for carriage of the produce of the moot productive portion of
the island.
Through the southern portion of the line, the physical features are ,
gentle elevations, ahnost parallel to the principal range of mountains
which run east and west, nearly the :length of the island; the east-
ern portion, from Port Mo ant to Plantain Garden, is almost level;
while the northern runs through an exceedingly rich country, rising
into hills separate from each other by spacious vales. The whole
of the country traversed by the line abounds In the staple articles of
sugar, coffee, rum, molasses, ginger, pimento, and other spices, dye-
woods, drugs, &c. ; and as more than one-third of the land is still un-
cultivated, the production of these articles will, by the increased
facility for traffic, be greatly increased; and cotton indigo, cocoa,
&c., and dye stuffs, at present uniniported, will again be brought
into extensive cultivation. Timber of great variety abounds along
the line; besides the pimento tree, which flourishes spontaneously :
there are mahogany, lignum vital, ebony, Spanish elm, fine cedar,
and other trees of enormous bulk. The line will also bring largely,
into use the valuable palmetto, and various other woods for agricul-
tural and household purposes and cabinet works.
The mineral wealth of the country- on the line is very considerable;
lead ore is extremely rich, and heavily impregnated with silver ;
whilst every variety of copper ore is found in abundance. Carbonate
of lime, valuable as manure, &c., of which Long Mountain is com-
posed, will form a considerable item in the tables of traffic.
The peculiarly favourable circumstances attending the construction
of this Railway render it highly probable that a considerable portion
of the capital demanded will not be required, as every material* ne-
cessary for its formation is to be found on the line, and should the
atmospheric principle of propulsion be adopted, the necessity for cut-
tings and embankments will be generally superseded.
A gratuitous grant of the unappropriated land required for the line,
and the free use of all the timber, stone, &c., necessary for Its con-
struction, will, it is expected, be ceded by the Legislative Assembly ;
the mineral wealth which may be developed by the construction of
the line will accompany the grants of the land, and may be leased to
capitalists for the benefit of the Shareholders.
Of the various imports and the Internal traffic a satisfactory esti-
mate can scarcely be given. It will be sufficient to state that coals,
fish, lime and salt, empty puncheons, shingles, bricks, hoops, lead,
timber, provisions, cattle, flour, tobacco, hardwares, and manufac-
tures generally, form important sources of profit.
The working expenses of the railway will require but ft moderate
per centage, awl from all the circumstances already stated, and care-
ful inquiries into the traffic, there can be no doubt that this line of

The geographical position of Worcester has caused its adoption as
the point where the broad guage trunk lines of the west are to have a
common terminus. From Oxford the Great Western Company have
decided on constructing a line of rail :—another project under the pa-
tronage of the same powerful direction is ROW before the public,
uniting Worcester with Warwick ; and, that the broad gauge will be
carried from Worcester into Wales, and to the Irish packet stations
on that coast, is now no longer doubtful. This undertaking will com-
plete a series of groat avenues of iron-road, whose ramification
from Worcester will render every part of the kingdom directly
accessible from that city. Passing up the Severn Vale, where
it will disclose a succession of picturesque scenes, it reaches
Stourport, and proceeding thence through Kidderminster, arrives at
Bewdley. This district is one of the chief seats of our carpet manu-
factures, and in the towns here named, exclusive of the intervening
districts, upwards e 30,000 persons are located. Leaving Stourbridge
a little to the east, the line is taken to Bridgenorth, a town enjoying
an active inland trade, and possessing woollen manufactures and iron
works, that gives employment to a population of about 15,000. Pass-
ing through or near to Much Wenlock, Broseley, and Madeley, from
which place there will he a branch to Shrewsbury, the line ascends
Colebrook Dale, and approaching in its course Wellington and Wem,
enters Whitchurch. From this central place a branch will be formed
to Norwich via Stoke, forming a junction with the Liverpool and
Crewe Railway. The trunk line will continue from Whitchurch, and
passing through or near Malpas, have its northern terminus in the
city of Chester.
In estimating the probable amount of revenue which the Worces-
ter and Chester Railway may be expected to yield, many sources of
profit present themselves, such are the dense population located along
the length of the Severn Vale, and the enriching works of industry
in which they are engaged. Amongst the latter may be mentioned
the China manufactories of Worcester; the iron, coal, and earthen-
ware works at Broseley and other places ; the agricultural produce
brought to Stourport market ; the inexhaustible fields of coal and
mines of iron ore in the vicinity of Colebrook Dale, Iroubridge, and
the districts to the east of Shrewsbury generally.

. -
In calculating the cost of construction unusual advantages are also
obvious. The line traverses a district affording levels of several
miles in extent, and with a surface peculiarly favourable. The resi-
dent population, disappointed by the postponement of promised pro-
jects, have warmly espoused the present, and the labouring popula-
tion being familiar with 'Aping operations, will be found better
qualified for the execution of railway works here than in many other
localities. _ _ _

Asa link in the railway network of England, or as auxiliary-
to existing or projected lines passing in various directions, few
schemes hitherto proposed appear to afford greater inducement
for investment, or a wider range of accommodation for traffic and
travelling. This project constitutes a lengthened link in the chain
that will connect Liverpool with Bristol, the grand trunk of the
West of England ;—its southern terminus, Worcester, is the half-
way station of the London and Port Dynnliaen broad gauge line :
by projected lines a direct communication will be afforded west-
ward to Swansea and Aberystwith, and, eastward, to Warwick and
Northampton, Cambridge, Peterborough, Harwich, Lynn, Lincoln,
ani Hull.

The line has been repeatedly and carefully examined by the Com-
pany's acting engineer, who reports that the rail for many miles may
be laid on the natural level—that the gradients are in every in-
stance favourable—that the geological structure of the districts to
be traversed is equally so, and that the want of such a line of com-
munication is acknowledged by the interests seated on its proposed
course.

Arrangements are in progress for the formation of a Company to
make an Atmospheric Railway from Dorking (or Epsom) to

Arundel, thereby affording (either by means of a junction with the
Direct Lond,n and Portsmouth Atmospheric Railway, at Dorking, or
the Croydon Atmospheric Railway, at Epsom) to the intermediate very
populous and wealthy district the important advantages of a direct
communication with the metropolis, and also with the coast, from
which it is at present excluded, as well as forming the best connect-

Portsmouth, and Southampton, and the principal towns of Surrey,
Sussex, Kent, and Hants.

This line will commence at or near the Wigston station of the Mid-
land Counties Railway, at such point as may best suit the successful
line from London through South Leicestershire, and will pass by or
near the manufacturing localities of Narberough, Sapcote, Earl
Shilton, Burbage, and Hinckley, through a district most favourable
for engineering purposes, to a junction with the Trent Valley at Nun-
eaton, thence it continues nearly due west to the Whitacre station of
the Birmingham and Derby Railway, and south-west by Bedworth
to the Coventry station of the London and Birmingham Company.
The line will communicate with the Swanaington Railway either by
means of the proposed Broughton Astley branch of the Midlands, or
of a separate branch to be formed by this Company ; thereby opening
the entire of the Leicestershire coal-field to the counties south-east
of Leicester.

The Directors, for the list few months, having used their best
exertions for the interests of the Company, feel it their duty, now
that the surveys, plans, and other arrangements are so far advanced,
to acquaint their shareholders with the position and prospects of the
undertaking.
The Coventry, Bedworth, and Nuneaton line, which received the
favourable report of the Board of Trade, and was before Parliament
last session, forms part of the present projected plan for connecting
Leicester, Coventry, and Birmingham.
The Directors have, by personal inspection, accompanied by their
engineer, satisfied themselves of the remarkable facilities presented
by the district for executing the greater part of the line ; and from
careful investigation the Directors have the pleasure of informing the
shareholders that this undertaking eannot fail to prove a profitable
investment if supported by local traffic only, and with the certainty
that a through traffic from the eastern and western lines, combined
with the great advantages afforded by the junction with the Trent
Valley for the transit of goods to and from Liverpool, Scotland, Ire-
land, and the United States, its importance cannot be over estimated.
From the extent of population accommodated by this railway
—from the convenience afforded to the trade and manufactures of
the Midland Counties—from the vast mineral resources of the dis-
tricts traversed, and from its position in regard to other important,
established, and projected railways, the Directors feel confident that
it will be amply remunerative to the Shareholder, and highly advan-
tageous to the public.

The capital has been subscribed, and the Parliamentary deeds have
been executed, and the preliminary survey completed.
A list of a new and highly influential local direction, and a map of
the line, will be published in a few days.

REVELATIONS OF SPAIN IN 1845. By T. M.
HUGHES, ESQ.-A second edition of this interesting work has
just appeared, revised by the author, and containing an accu-
rate analysis of the reform in the constitution just promulgated,
and bringing the history down to the present moment. In the
notice of this book in Blackwood's Magazine, it is observed,
This is the work of a man who has evidently passed a con-
siderable time in the Peninsula, and after becoming well
acquainted with the language and habits of the people, has
studied the peculiarities of their marine's, feelings, and institu-
tions with a keen and observant eye. Amidst the various
parties and factions, the strange contradictions of the national
character, the interminable web of intrigue and political
marteuvre, how arduous the task to unravel the truth, to throw
a clear light upon the state and prospects of Spain, and explain
the complicated and hidden machinery by which many of the
recent events in that country have been brought about. The
task has been attempted in this work, and by no means without
success. It is a book of much interest and utility—a book
which from its liveliness and the amount of anecdote and light
matter it contains, will be read by many who would shrink
from the perusal of a mere dry statistical work."
WHITE KNIGHTS ESTATE.—We are exceedingly
glad to find that active measures for the improvement of this
beautiful property are in operation. It is proposed, as will be seen
by advertisement, to form a company, and thus at once raise such
an amonnt of capital as will suffice to render the estate perfect
by drainage, new roads, &c., so that buildings of a high class
may instantly be commenced with every inducement that natu-
ral advantages and scientific improvements can offer. We hear
that some influential capitalists have already subscribed for a
large proportion, and there are strong reasons for believing
that the remainder will find eager and respectable applicants.
It cannot be doubted that this town is deeply interested in the
success of the plan. The formation of an additional suburb, to
be inhabited only by persons of adequate means and station,
must cause a large amount of money to be expended in the
town, besides conferring an additional attraction to visitors
from a distance. Nor will the expenditure necessary for the
erection of a series of villas, cottages, &c., be unattended with
some benefit to the trade of Reading, both directly and indi-
rectly. To persons desirous of building a "home "in some
spot where the advantages of both town and country may be
combined, we may in th words of sober truth challenge a com-
parison of White Knights with any other spot within fifty, of
even a hundred miles of London. That houses, if built there,
would let with unexampled rapidity, no one can for a moment
doubt; in fact nothing is wanted but a vigorous and harm..nious
effort, by which all the charms of this delig:,tful and unique
property may be fairly °developed. And when they are, as
they wi.l be, by the resources of a company, the public will
only wonder how it is that that which might have been done
years ago could hive been overlooked until this time. There
w 11 then be "a rage" for White Knights just in proportion to
the neglect which has hitherto left it in obscurity.—Berkshire
Chronicle,
