This Line, 9f 54 miles in length,. is intended to connect the great.
productive agricultural district of Lincolnshire, and the towns of
Lincoln, Gainshorough and Doncaster; with Wakefield, the' principal
corn and cattle market for the manufacturing population of Yorkshire
and Lancashire, and with the series of large and important towns
bordering upon the line of the Manchester and Leeds Railway through-
out its entire course. The country into which this line will extend
having never possessed the advantages of railway communication with'
the chief market for its produce, which has been thus compelled to
make use of a cirtnitous and tardy conveyance, this undertaking will .
at once remove many of those difficulties with which the home-grown
corn of that neighbourhood has hitherto contended in maintaining its
ground, even in its own market, against the importation,of foreign
grain ; at the sane time that it offers in return the means of rapid
and cheap carriage of Coal, coke, stone, stilt, and lime, more especially
of the two latter articles, to a very large-extent, for agriculturafpur-
poses, at a reduction of probably not less than 50 per cent. of their
present price. Hy this means a return cargo would be assured for all
vessels employed in the conveyance of agricultural produce to Gains-
borough and Line-obi.
As regards passenger traffic, a considerable intercourse already
exists between the several towns on the proposed line, as well as
with Wakefield and the manufacturing districts, and there can be
no doubt that a similar increase to that which has always resulted
from an improved and rapid communication, may be justly antici-
pated.
These views being Confined exclusively to the trail° peculiarly be-
longing to the locality of Moline, it is unnecessary to enter into spe-
culative considerations at to the probability of any extension of the
Railway system in that important portion of the kingdom. .
After a survey of the country through which the line passes, the
engineer has reported to the Committee that the works will be of easy
construction and inexpensive, and the gradients of a very favourable,
character ; the latter is especially a matter of paramount importance
to the economical working of the very large goods traffic that will
naturally flow upon this lin*. This object will be still Atrther secured
by an arrangement with the Manchester and Leeds Company for
working this titicln eonjimction with their own, which will be a suf-
ficient guarantee-that this impcirtant item of railway expenditure will
be reduced to a very moderate amount.
A more legitimate project cannot be contemplated than this; which
so intimately connects the productive industry of the fitunetwith the
constant and growing demand of a rapidly increasing manufacturing
population:
