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
conversant with the islan 1 of Jamaica.
The average passage by steamer between Montego Bay and King.
ston, 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
305.. 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 advan-
tage of shipping at all times from the very excellent harbour of King-
ston, instead of being confined, as they now are, to the exposed ports
f 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 to which point it is proposed to form a Junction with the King-
ston and Spanish Town Hallway, and proceed thence by or near Rock
Fort, Yallahs, Morant Town, Port Morant, Plantain Garden, Man-
chioneal Harbour, Port Antonio, Buff Bay, Anotto Bay, Port Maria,
t. Ann's, Duncan, Martha Brae, and terminate at or near Montego
ay. By these means a line of intercommunication will be formed
L etween the most important and populous places, and facility offered
for carriage of the produce of the most productive portion of the
Wend.

Through the southern portion of the line, the physical features are
gentle elevations, almost parallel to the principal range of moun-
tains, which run east and west, nearly the length of the island ; the
eastern portion, from Port Morant 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 ar-
Celes of sugar, coffee, rum, molasses, ginger, pimento, and other
spices, dye wood, drugs, &c. ; and as more than one-third of the
the
land is still uncufacilit ltivated,
trafficthe production of these articles will, by
increased y for ,be greatly increased ; and cotton,
indigo, cocoa, &c., and dry stuffs, at present unimported, 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 vitt% ebony Spanish
elm, fine cedar, and other trees of enormous bulk. The line will
also bring largely into use the valuable palmettl , and various other
woods for agricultural and household purposes, aid 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*
necessary 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 r the benefit of the Shareholders.
Of the vark is imports, and the internal traffic, a satisfactory esti-
mate can sea rely be given—it will be sufficient to state, that Coals,
Fish, Lime and Salt, empty Puncheons, Shingles, Bricks, Hoops,
-toad, Timt,er, Provisions, Cattle, Flour, Tobacco, Hardwares and
Manufactures generally, form important soirees of profit. ,
Tile working expenses of the railway will require but a moderate
per centage, and from all the circumstances already stated, and care-
ful inquiries into the traffic, there can be no doubt that this line of
railway will yield a very remunerative return upon the capital re-
quired, and the speedy communication established between the
island and Great Britain, by means of the Royal Mail Steam Packet
Company, will 'enable the Directors in this country to exercise an
efficient control over the management of the affairs of the island.
The Committee propose to make provision in the Local Act for the
payment of 4}6 per cent. interest upon the amount paid upon the
shares front the passing of the Bill until the opening of the line.
Applications for shares in the usual form may be made to the
