ThiS.Line, of- 54 mileihi'leitth;* is 'intended tO connect the great'
productive." agricultural 'district' of *Lincolnshire, • rind the. towns. of
Lincoln; Gitinsberongh• 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- •
ont its entire course. The country into which this line will extend
haviifg never possessed the advnntages of railway communication with
the chief market for its produce, which has been tints compelled to
,make-use eflt circuitous and tardy conveyance, this undertaking will
at once remove many of those'difficultles with which the home-gown
cern of that neighbourhood has 'hitherto contended in maintaining its
ground, even in its own market, against the importation of foreign
grain ; at the same time that it offers in return the means of rapid
and cheap carriage of coal, coke, stone, salt, and lime, more especially
of the two latter articles, ti a very large extent, for agricaltural pur-
poses, at a reduction of probably not less than 50 per cent. of their
present price. . By this means a return cargo would be assured for all
vessels employedin. the conveyance of agricultural produce to Gains-.
borough and Lincoln.
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 IniprovM and rapid communication, may be justly antici-
pated. ' '
These views being confined exchialvely to the traffic peculiarly be-
longing, to the locality of thisline, it is'unnecessary to enter into spe-
culative consideratiens as to.' the probability of any extension of the
Ilhilway system in that importatitportion.of the kingdom.
After a survey of the couritrytkrough which, the line passes, the
engineer has reported ta the Committee that the works will beef easy
construction and inexpensive, and the gradients'of a verj favourable
character; the latter is especially &matter of paramount importance
to the-economical ivorking•of the very_large.. goods traffic that will
' naturally flow upon this line. This object will be still further secured
by an arrangement with the Manchester and Leeds-Company for
working this line in conjunction with their own, which will be a suf-
ficient guarantee that this important item of railway expenditure will,
be reduced to a very miiderite amount. • -
A more legitimate project cannot be• contemplated than this, which
so intimately connects the productive industry of the farmer with the,
constant and growing demand of a rapidly increasing manufacturing
population. • ••

and that by continuing them for sometime, he got completely
restored to health, after everything else had failed. He had tried
