and a THIRD EDITION at SEVEN O'CLOCK, for POST, acntaining PARLIAMENTARY and

connexion with Stirling and the North would be affbrded. The
branch towards Glasgow is not intended to be carried so far as
that City, but, at some distance from it, will run-1, into certain
mineral railways belonging to separate Companies, and constructed
originally for the purpose of conveying coals to the high levels en
the north side of Glasgow ; and 2, into another projected line,
called the Clydesdale Junction, which is intended to convey
minerals and passengers to the low levels on the south side of
Glasgow. This complicated plan will be best understood by
reference to the accompanying Map.
In contrasting this scheme with that of which the Glasgow,
Dumfries, and Carlisle Railway is intended to form a part, your
Committee feel bound to consider, preferably, their bearing on the
general interests of the country.
First —The length of the Caledonian Railway, excluding the
Castlecarry Branch, which is said to be about eight miles long, is
stated in the Prospectus, as being 112 miles, and the cost is there
estimated at 1.800,0001. Io a subsequent report, published by the
promoters, it is stated, that, " In consequence of savings on other
parts of the line, the Castlecarry extension of the Caledonian Line
can be constructed without exceeding the capital upon which the
Proipectus proceeded." But, even after allowing this, correction
of the original estimate, of the accuracy of which your Committee
have no means of judging, and without attempting to calculate the
expense of a proposed branch of about lb miles long to Dumfries,
and of widening the guage, and otherwise altering the mineral
lines before mentioned, or the expense of the Clydesdale Junction
Line, which practically forms a part of the scheme, it would appear
that the single line of international communication proposed by
the Caledonian Company, would, without accommodating, any
important local traffic, actually cause an expenditure of upwards
of 500,000/. more than the whole sum that would be required for
completing the two trunk lines of communication which your Com.
mittee have already pointed out.

to condense, into as short a space as possible, the remaining pofnts
which it is esiletitial they should bring before you.
You will recollect that the original rough estimate of the cost of
the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Railway, was at the rate of
13,000/. per mile. Mr. Miller, your engineer, has not completed
the detailed plans of the works, so as to enable him to say whether
any reduction can be made upon the estimate, but he assures your
Committee that there is no chance of its being exceeded. The
amount, therefore, which will be required to finish your line, will
be under 1,200,000/. Of this sum above four-fifths have been sub.
scribed and paid on, being more than is required by the Standing
Orders in Parliament to entitle your Bill to pass, even if you apply
for your whole line from Kilmarnock to Carlisle; whilst, if your
Committee shall, on mature consideration, consent to the Glasgow,
Paisley, Kilmarnock, and Ayr Railway Company proceeding with
their Bill, to the effect of taking power to execute the portion of
the Line between Kilmarnock and Cumnock, under an obligation to
convey it or lease it in perpetuity to you, if you desire it, the
amount which has been subscribed will be considerably more than
is required. In these circumstances, your Committee have resolved
not to issue at present any additional shares.
Your Committee have had very satisfactory communications
from most of the proprietors of land along the railway. They have
also received assurances of support from many of the Corporations
in the west of Scotland, and particularly from the towns of Dum-
fries and Annan, in which both the magistrates and inhabitants
have resisted various attempts to draw them off, and have unani.
mously declared in your favour. The counties of Ayr, Renfrew,
and Kircudbright, have also passed resolutions approving of your
line.

Your Committee have thus laid fully before you the details of
the entire scheme of railway communication from England to
Scotland, of which your Hoe forms a part. They feel perfect con.
fldenze in its superiority over each other, as being best calculated
to promote the interests of Scotland ; and they will proceed quietly
but zealously, with their preparations for the approaching examina-
tion of its merits before the Board of Trade and Parliament.

Secondly.—Y•ur Committee beg t 9 refer Toe-to-the Comparative
Table of Distances on the accompanying yap, from which you
will observe-1. That the North British Railway, in connexion
with the projected lines from London to York, and troth Newcastle
to Berwick, affords the shortest communication from London,
Leeds, Hull, and Newcastle, to Edinburgh and Stirling; and that,
not only by the Fife Line, but even by the Scottish Central Rail-
way, which would be reached by the Eeinburgh and Glasgow
Railway, it forms the shortest route from Loudon end the important
towns above_mentioned to Perth, Dundee, and Aberdeen.
2. That the Edinburgh, Hawiek, and Carlisle Railway affords the
shortest line from Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol,
&c., to Edinburgh ; and, in connexion with the Fife and Northern
Lines, to Perth, Dundee, and Aberdeen. 3. That the Glasgow,
Dumfries, and Carlisle Railway is the shortest route from London
and the whole of England to Dumfries, Kirkcudbright, Port.
Patrick, for the north of Ireland, Kilmarnock, and Ayr ; and
that, allowing for the superiority of its gradients over those of the
Caledonian Line, on the principles of comparison established by the
Royal Commissioners In their Report of 1841, it affords the shortest
communication, in point of speed and economy, with Paisley and
Greenock. The only disadvantage, in point of distance, is in the
case of Glasgow; in regard to which, however, on the principles
laid down in the Commissioners' Report, the difference between the
two lines is reduced to 13i miles, or less than half an hour in
point of time.

* In 1840 Mr. Locke prepared an amended plan, whereby his
gradient of 1 in 75 was to some extent improved, but to accomplish
thi; he was obliged to have recourse to severe cutting and banking,
which would, of course, add proportionally to the expense of the
line.

GENERAL TOM THUMB.
The AMERICAN MAN in MINIATURE will return
to London and hold his PUBLIC LEVEES at the Gallery, in
Suffolk-street, Pall-mall, commencing Monday, December 23, and
continuing through the holidays, after which he leaves for the
Continent. The General has been visiting the principal towns in
England, Scotland, and Ireland, and has met with unprecedented
success. Whilst in Edinburgh the General was presented with a
beautiful Highland dress, of the Royal Stuart Tartan, manufac.
turgid by Messrs. Meyers and Mortimer, in which he will appear
at each exhibition, in addition to his Citizen, Napoleon, and Court
dress. Hours of Exhibition from Eleven to One, Three to Five,
and from Seven to Nine. Doors open half an hour previous.
Admission (regardless of age), One Shilling. The General's new
and elegant carriage, drawn by two of the smallest ponies in the
country, with coachman and footman In splendid liveries, will pass
through the principal streets daily.
N.B. Visitors will find the Suffolk street Gallery far superior to
the rooms formerly occupied by the General at the Egyptian Hall,
access easy, and the rooms well warmed and beautifully lighted
with gas-

Thirdly.—The sections of the Caledonian, and Glasgow, Dumfries,
and Carlisle Lines, not having been deposited, it is impossible
as yet to speak accurately on the subject of gradients. It is quite
certain, however, that the gradients of the former will be inferior
to those of the latter. The fo:lowing are quotations from a report
made on the comparative merits of the two lines by Mr.
Locke, the engineer of the Caledonian Railway, in 1836. In
speaking of what is new called the Caledonian Line, he says, " I at
first directed my attention to this route, which, as far as Beattock-
bridge, near moirat, 1 found tolerably favourable ; in proceeding
farther, however, the valley for several miles rises very rapidly, until
reaching the summit near Elvanfoot, where it attains the height of
neatly 1,000 feet above the level of the sea—Beattock-bridge,
which is only 10 miles distant, being only about 300 feet above the
level of the sea. In 10 miles, then, the rise is nearly 700 test,
which, supposing it to be uniform the whole way, would give an
inclination of 1 in 75.* Not wishing to recommend a line having
such a plane," &c. But in speaking of the line by Dumfries, Mr.
Locke says—" Of the levels of this route, I may say, that from
Carlisle to Dumfries, about thirty miles, the only inclinations will
be these which it may be desirable to encounter for the purpose of
saving money, those two towns being nearly on the same level.
With the exception of the bridges across the Rivers Eden, Esk,
Sark, and Annan, which will neither be high nor very long, no
very considerable outlay will be required. The ground in some
parts is undulating, but not so as to render the formation of the
road either difficult or expensive." And again, with reference to
the portion of the line between Dumfries and Thornhill, lie says
_.fhe levels in this part extending over a space of almost forty
miles,t will be neatly uniform, and gradually ascending for the
whole distance ; and with the exception of a short length of about
11/2 miles, about 1 in 180, I do not believe there will be a greater
inclination than what is generally admitted in forming railways in
England." And, in regard to the rest of the line, he says, that
" although undulating, the road will not, I ekould think, be unfa-
vourable for locomotive engines."

Fourthly.—The population of the parishes intersected by the
Caledonian Railway, from the point where it leaves the route of the
Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Railway at Gretna, to the point
where the branches diverge at Lanark, a distance of about sixty-
five miles, is,

The particulars of each of these calculations are annexed to
this Report, so that there may be no possibility of doubt on the
subject.
Fifthly.—With regard to traffic, your Committee are now enabled
to speak with mere confidence, in consequence of having, since the
date of their Prospectus, taken measures to ascertain its amount
accurately, both on your own and on the Caledonian Line. The
result is, that upon the line of the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Car-
lisle Railway, the thorough and local traffic, taken together, is suf-
ficient to ensure an adequate return; but the thorough traffic be-
tween Glasgow and England, including, of course, what passes
along the road by Beattock, as well as what passes by the other
great road from Kilmarnock to Carlisle, is quite insufficient to do
so. It amounts to not more than 40 per cent. of the whole traffic
which will pass along your line. Were the whole of this trans-
ferred, without competition, to the Caledonian Line, on which the
local traffic is trifling, it would not yield interest on its cost.
Your Committee do not feel any hesitation in speaking of the
small amount of local traffic on the Caledonian Line, because their
statement is confirmed by the recorded opinion of the Royal Coro.
missioners, already quoted ; and no one who has travelled along
the Beattock-road between Carlisle and Glasgow, by daylight, will
fail to remember that there are from twenty to thirty miles where
the sight of a cottage or a human being is a rarity.
Your Committee are aware that much reliance is placed by the
Caledonian Company on their prospect of traffic from the north of
Scotland to England, by means of their connexion with the projected
Central Railway from Stirling to Perth. The Table of Comparative
Distances, to which your attention has already been directed, will
enable you to judge how far this traffic, whatever its amount may
be, is likely to pass along the Caledonian Line, which is more cir-
cuitous than either the North British or Hawick Lines. But, In
point of fact, the number of persons who travel south from Stirling-
shire or Perthshire. without having occasion to visit Edinburgh and
Glasgow on their way, is extremely small. Indeed, most of you are
probably already aware, that although there is a direct turnpike..
road, laid out by the late Mr. Telford, between Carlisle and Stir-
ling, there is not a single stage-coach or puldia conveyance upon it,
and it is deeply in debt.
OR the other hand, with reference to th
assa e genera
the Report of
of
traffic on your own line, the following pge in
Mr. Locke, in 1836, may be interesting to you :—" Of the advan-
tage to all the towns in Scotland, through or near to which this line
will pass, no adequate idea can be formed. They exist in tbe most
favourable part of Scotland, requiring only a cheap means of trans-
port to develope the many resources they possess. Several of these
towns have already grown into some importance; and it should be
an object with the proprietors of the soil, and with the manufac-
turers of the district, to encourage the formation of a road like
the one proposed, so as to extend to them the benefits which it is
capable of affording."
Sixthly.—There are various other points in regard to which the
superior advantages offered by the Edinburgh, Hawick, and Car-
lisle Railway, and the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Railway,
require only to be briefly indicated. (1.) The former will open
up a connexion between the counties of Berwick, Selkirk, Peebles,
and Roxburgh, and the north-west of England, and 80'th-west of
Scotland. These Scotch counties already combine the highest
state of agricultural improvement, with a growing woollen menu.
facture. (2.) In the neighbourhood of Langholm there are very
rich seams of coal which are at present landlocked, but the produce
of which the Hawick Line will be the means, not only of bringing
to the coast, but also of carrying farther into the interior, which
is at present suffering from the want of it. (3.) The Dumfriee
Line, by giving a communication both from the south and north,
with the seapoi t of Annan, affords to the whole of that district of
country the means of communication with the best harbour on the
upper pert of the Solway Frith. (4.) The Caledonian Line would,
even if a branch were made to Dumfries, afford very inferior ae.
comraodation to that town, and to the counties of Kircudbright and
Wigton, from which a large number of cattle are at present sent,
partly by sea and partly by land, to England. (5.) The Caledonian
Line would, in like manner, afford a very inferior communication
between the north of England and the north of Ireland, either
by way of Port Patriek or the seaports on the coinastsa ofless Ayatrshire.
(Lastly.) The Caledonian Railway would place ivan.
tageous position the whole population of the counties of Ayr and
Renfrew, which, together, contain 319,429 inhabitants, being
more than twice as many as the whole of Lanarkshire, exclud-
ing Glasgow.
After the details which have now been given you, you will not
be surprised to hear that the Caledonian Railway, while it receives
a certain degree of support from the promoters of the Scottish Cen.
tral Railway, is opposed by alrao.t all the ether railway
orth interests in
Scotland, including the Edinburgh and Glasgow, the N British,
the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock, and Ayr, the Glasgow, Dumfries,
be
Carlisle, and the lines extending
th Fifeshfre to
north of Scotlazel.:
Indeed, the Edinburgh and Glagow Railway Company have the
strongest interest, and, at the same time, the strongest Parlia-
inentary grounds for opposing the Caledonian scheme, in conse-
quence, of the two forks of the latter underteking being so laid out
as to form a competing line for the traffic between Edinburgh and
Glasgow, not more than eight or nine miles longer than the direct
route, and thus falling under the class of schemes which the Seleot
Committee of the House of Commons on Railways last session de-
nounced as unjustifiable, being a railway (to use Choir own words)
" which, if it is to remunerate the proprietors at all, can only
remunerate them by means of the abstractien of traffic,
odwhich is
equally well accommated by
already, for all substantial purposes,
some existing railway."
Your Committee regret much the length to which their ob-
servations on the merits of your line, and those with which it has
been placed in Competition, have extended. They will endeavour

" Of human ills aed frailties I discourse,
Those taught by nature and by art acquir'd.
Of griefs coneeal'd, and disappointments keen,
Which young and gentle—the matured and sago—
The lonely and the mated—all sustain;
•
In kindly spirit herein counsel's given,
How health, how hope, how happiness to gain."
