Branches will be constructed, if hereafter considered requisite, but
the mails line to be laid down by the Company will be considerably
less than 100 miles, throughdut which the strongest encouragement
and support have been manifested towards this railway by the landed
proprietors, many of whom have determined to invest capital in the
undertaking ; and the engineer's report precludes any apprehen-
sion of engineering difficulties; the publication, however, of the ex-
actness of the route is necessarily delayed for a few days, in con-
sequence of some important negotiations now pending with ano-
ther Company. The great public utility and commercial advan-
tages of railway communication between the important places and
ports which it is now contemplated to unite must be at once ap-
preciated by reference to a map of the country.
The usual power rill be taken in the Act of Parliament to
allow interest, at four per cent. per annum, on the amount of (IP:posit
and calls from the passing of the Act until the cornpletirr, of the
