now described, it will be seen that three principal lines are pro. i
vides!. The first of these gives the most direct line from London
to Edinburgh ; the second the boat line from London through
Lancashire to the West of Scotland ; and the third the shortest
line across the Island, from Carlisle to Edinburgh and the north.
east of Scotland.
Many collateral advantages might be pointed out as resulting
from the above arrangement, but these will be more properly ex-
plained when discussing the merits of your line in detail.
In a public point of view, your Committee regard it as one of
the most important characteristics of the scheme new explained,
that although in itself more complete than any other; it can be
effected by a comparatively small expenditure of capital beyond
what is required for those new lines of railway, which aro about
to be constructed solely for the accommodation of existing local
traffic. This statement requires a little explanation.
It has been mentioned that it is intended to form a railway from
Edinburgh to Hawiek. The line has been planned, and is under-
taken by the North British Railway Company. The object is to
extend the Dalkeith Railway, now belonging to that Company
(which is at any rate to be improved and adapted for locomotives),
to the thriving manufact firing towns of Galashiels, Selkirk, and
Hawick, situated in the midst of the best woel.growing and
wool-manufacturing district in Scotland. On the other side of the
Island, the Ayrshire Railway Company have intimated their inten-
tion (without meaning to interfere with your undertaking) to
execute their long-projected seem( of a Branch Railway to Cum.
nee I .for the purpose of bringing into their line the passenger traffic
from that district, and of opening up the large mineral fields of the
Marquis of Bute, Sir James Boswell, and Lord George Bentinek,
in which the celebrated blackband ironstone has been distinctly
ascertained to exist ; and where extensive aeditional iron-works aro
about, it is believed, to be erected under leases recently entered into.
Such being the case, the whole length of new railway will require
to be made for the purpose of completing the two trunk lines from
Edinburgh to Carlisle, via Hayrick, and from Glasgow to Carlisle,
via Dumtries, will be—
Hawick to the Dumfries line, near Carlisle say 35 miles.
Cumnock to Carlisle
Making in all
The capital required for which may be roughly estimated at
12,0011. per mile, or 1,296,0001.
Your Committee are so satisfied of the capabilities of the line
between Hawick and Carlisle, and of its importance to you, net
only as a part of the general plan t• be submitted to Parliament,
but as a branch and feeder to your line, that, with the unanimous
eoneurrence of a meeting of your extraordinary Committee of
Management, they have undertaken to the Board of Trade, to apply
to Parliament in asubsequent session for power to make it, in the
event of the general scheme of international communication
above-mentioned being adopted.
Another most important diaracteristic of the scheme now de-
scribed is, that it interferes in no way with the interests of any
existing line of railway, but furnishes new feeders both to the four
cotch lines of railway referred to at the outset, and to all the
English railways with which the projected lines are to be connected
Yorgr Committee, however, would not be discharging their duty
were they net, in the next place, shortly to call your attention to
the origin and history of another plan, which is about to be brought
into Parliament under the name of the Caledonian Railway, and to
contrast the public and private advantage' it holds out with those
which may be obtained by the scheme already described.
It will probably he known to all of you that the Royal Commis-
sioners, Sir Frederick Smith and Professor Barlow—who were
appointed in 1840 to report on the projected railways between Eng-
land and Scotland—proceeding upon the assumption that only one
would be made, expressed a preference for a line passing over the
high ground which occupies the centre of Scotland. In doing so,
however, the Commissioners carefully reserved the question which
of the various routes ought to be preferred, in the event of its
being found practicable to make two or more lines. The following
are their words :—" Were this otherwise (via., were more than
one line to be made), we should subdivide the question into two
branches, and consider, in the first instance, which of the several
lines would be the most suitable for a communication by Lancaster
to Glasgow, as well as to the West of Scotland and to the North of
Ireland, and which would be the best route by Newcastle to
Edinburgh."
The line thus preferred by the Commissioners, " under the
supposition that at present one line of railway only can be
itself to formed
from the South to Edinburgh and Glasgow," recommended
them chiefly in consequence of its having two forks or branches at
its northern extremity, the one terminating in Edinburgh, and the
ether in Glasgow ; but the barren character of the country through
which it would run, and probably some consideration of the extra
expense of working it, arising from the steep gradients rendered
necessary by its summit of 1,000 feet, induced the Commissioners
to record their opinion that " it was hardly to be expected that such
a line would command much support as an investment from the
general speculator ;" and to add, that," unless the principal landed
proprietors along the line should feel disposed to give the under-
taking their hearty support, rather with a view to the increased
value it would give to their property, than to a large remunerating
dividend, there seems considerable doubt whether it will ever be
constructed."
The publication of that Report, and the facts it disclosed, in
place of lending to the early execution of the Beattock or Central
Line, had the effect of deterring the public from embarking in it,
and of directing their attention to the more profitable investment
presented by the East Coast Line from Newcastle to Edinburgh.
The Worth British Railway, being the Scotch portion of that line,
was accordingly brought forward in 1842—was sanctioned by an
Act of Parliament obtained last session—and is now in course of
being made.
The effect of this decision of Parliament in favour of an East
Coast Line, which removes the only ground on which the Royal
Commissioners had preferred the Central Line, is net even yet ge-
nerally known. Accordingly, the scheme of a Beattock Railway
which was revived last spring, with some modifications that led to
the adoption of the new name of the Caledonian Railway, has been
generally received by the public under the erroneous impression
that it has still the sanction of the Commissioners' authority.
The line, as thus revived and modified, is meant to extend
from Carlisle, to a point at or near Lanark, and to diverge there
into two branches, one running to Edinburgh and the other towards
Glasgow. A subordinate branch is proposed, from a point about
eight miles distant from Glasgow, to join a projected railway,
called the Scottish Central Railway, at Castlecarry; whereby a
connexion with Stirling and the North would be afforded. 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 Goals to the high levels on
the north siae 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 Prospects., as being 119 miles, and the cost is there
estimated at 1,800,000/. In 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
Prospectus 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 15 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 500,0001. 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.
Secondly --Your Committee beg to refer you to the Comparative
Table of Distances on the accompanying Slap, from which you
will observe-1. That the North British Railway, in connexion
with the projected lines from London to York, and from 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 frorn London and the important
towns above.mentioned to Perth, Dundee, and Aberd
affbrds the
een.
2. That the Edinburgh, Hawick, and Carlisle Railway
shortest line from Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol,
&c., to Edinburgh ; and, in connexion with the Fife and Northern
',hies, to Perth, Dundee, and Aberdeen. 3. That the Glasgow,
Dumfriee, and Carlisle Railway is the shortest route from London
at the whole of England to Dumfries, Kirkcudbright, Portd
e
Patrick, for the north of Ireland, Kilmarnock, and Ayr ; an
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 le4l, it &fords the shortest
communication, in point of speed and economy, with Paisley and
Greenock. The only disadvantage, in point of distance, is in the
lee
case of Glasgow; in regard to which, however, on the princip
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.
Thirdly.—The sections of the Caledonian,and Glasgow, Dufriea,
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 formernws fromill be a
inferioeport
r
to those of the latter. The fo'lowing are quotatio r
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 ray attention to this route, which, as far as Beattock-
bridge, near Moffat, I 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 70 feet,
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,
r.
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 ong, n
lo
very considerable outlay will be required. Tbe ground in sonie
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, he says
—" The levels in this part extending over a space of almost forty
reileiet will be nearly uniform, and gradually ascending for the
whole distance ; and with the exception •f a short length of about
1% miles, about 1 in 180, I do not believe there will be a greater
inclineion 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 should think, be unfa-
vourable for locomotive engines."
Fourthly.—The population of the parishes intersected by the
Caledonian Railway, from the pint where it leaves the route 01 the
Glasgow, Dumfriee, and Carlisle Railway at Gretna, to the point
where the branches diverge at Lanark, a distance of about sixty-
five miles, is,

subject.

Fifthly.--With regard to traffic, your Committee are now enabled
to speak with more confidence, in consequence of having, sine the
date of their Prospectus, taken measured 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
PO. It amounts to not more than 40 per cent. of the whole trifle
which will pas, along your line. Were the whole of this trans.
ferred, without competition, to the Caledonian Line, on which the
local traffic is tr.ling, it would not yield interest en its met.
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 Com-
missioners, already quoted ; and no one who has traveller.( along
the Beattock-road between Carlisle and Glasgow, by daylight, will
fail to remember that there are from twenty to thirty wiles 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
Contrail 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 tbe Caledonian Line, which is more cir-
cuitous than either the North British err Ilewick 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 pul.lic conveyance upon it,
and it is deeply in debt.
On the other hand, with reference to the general prospect of
traffic on your own line, the following passage in the Report of
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 the most
favourable part of Scotland, requiring only a cheap means of trans.
port to develope the many resources they posses.. 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 snanufac-
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 be the Edinburgh, Hawick, and Car.
lisle Railway, and the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Railway,
require only to be briefly indicated. (1.) The former will *pen
up a connexion between the counties of Berwick, Selkirk, Peebles,
and Roxburgh, and the north-west of England, and south-west of
Scotland. These Scotch counties already combine the highest
state of agricultural improvement, with a growing woollen reanu.
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 Ilawick Line will be the means, not only of bringing
to the coast, but al-o of carrying farther into the interior, which
is at present suffering from the want of It. (3.) The Dumfries
Line, by giving a communication both from the south and north,
with the seaport of Annan, affords to the whole of that district of
country the means of communication with the beet harbour on the
upper part of the Solway Frith. (4.) The Caledonian Line would,
even if a branch were made to Dumfries, afford very inferior ac-
commodation 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 Patrick er the seaports on the coasts of Ayrshire.
(Lastly.) The Caledonian Railway would place in a lees advan-
tageous position the whole population of the counties of Ayr and
Renfrew, which, together, contain 319,428 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 alum t all the other railway Interests in
Scotland, Including the Edinburgh and Glasgow, the North British,
the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock, and Ayr, the Glasgow, Dumblee,
and Carlisle, and the lines extending through Fifeehlre to the
north of Scotland.
Indeed, the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company have the
strongest interest, and, at the same time, the strongest Parlia-
mentary grounds for opposing the Caledonian scheme, in conse-
quence of the two forks of the latter undertaking bet, ig so laid out
as to form a competing line for the traffic between Edinburgh and
Glasgow, not more than eight or nice miles longer than the direct
route, and thus falling under the class of schemes which the Select
Committee of the Flouse of Commons on Railways last session de.
flounced as unjustifiable, being a railway (to use their own words)
" which, if it is to remunerate the proprietors at all, can only
remunerate them by mean■ of the abstraction of traffic. which is
already, for all substantial purposes, equally well accommodated by
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
to condense, into as short a space as possible, the remaining points
which it is essential they should bring before you.
Ycu will recollect that the original rough estimate of the cost of
the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Railway, was at the rate of
13,0001. 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 1,900,000/. Of this sum abo►e 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 considerately 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 fovour. The counties df 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
Scetland, of which your line forms a part. They feel perfect con-
tiden.:e in its superiority over each other, as being beet calculated
to promote the interests of Scotland ; and they will proceed quietly
but eealously, with their preparations for the approaching examina.
tion of its merits before the Board of Trade and Parliameut.

MISS AIARTINEAU'S CASE OF CURE.
PROTEST of HYGEISTS against the MANNER in
which this CASE is PUT FORTH to the PUBLIC.
Hygeists contend that publishing Miss Martineau's case in the
manner that newspapers have done tends to delude and cheat the
public, and to make them believe that health and disease depend
upon almost supernatural agency, or great and deep research. Miss
Martineau's case of cure should have appeared, as all other cases
of cure appear in newspapers, by whatever means effected, vie., as
an advertisement. If Mesmerism be true, how is it that we don't
hear of cures in every hole and corner of the kingdom? Is one
isolated case, like Miss Martineau's, deserving •f the parade which
has been made of it by the newspapers ? Certainly not, unless it
toe to shroud the real truth in medicine in greater mystery than
ever. Compare Mesmerism with Hygeism, and let us ask whether
there is a hamlet •r •illage throughout Great Britain where more
extraordinary cures than Miss Martineau's, solely effected by Mori-
son's Pills, are not to be found ? Therefore we ask again, why is
all this fuss made about one isolated ease, if it be not to confound
and perplex the public mind on the all.importaut question of true
medical treatment ?

GRPAISTONE'S EYE SNUFF.—Under the
Patronage of his late Majesty, her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Kent, and the Lords of the Treasury, u universally re-
commended by the Faculty for its efficacy in removing disorders
ncident to the Eyes and Head.
SIGHT RESTORD ED!AFNESS —NERVOUS HEADACHE AND
E CURED!
By the most simple, delightful, and fragrant Compound!
Its mode of application is fraught with pleasure; many thousand
sums have been accomplished by its use, at a truing expense, yet
:ertain in its operation. II testimonies be necessary to induce the
sufferer to make trial, Kings, Lords, and Commons have used it.
I'he Lords 4 the Treasury have sanctioned its use. Their late Ma_
jetties, the Duchess of Kent, the most eminent Oculists, Medical
Practitioners--with that gigantic balance, the Press—have eulogised
Gemstone's celebrated Herbaceous Compound, known as " Grim.
stone's Eye Snuff," for its efficacy in removing all diseases incident
;,o the Ryes and Head. G. J. Guthrie , Esq., F.R.S.See J. B. Lech.
deli, Est's Letter, Whitehall. Dr. Thomas. Dr. Andrews calls It
national blessing—see his Reports touching its utility. The late
Mr. Abernethy, with many ethers, recommend Gemstone's Eye
Snuff, and call It " Man's best Friend," and the "Student's Vade
Mecum."
Dr. Andrews also recommends its use as it preventive. See his
reports in Nov. IPSI. He states that the tenacious sympathy of the
membrane, within the nostrils, with the nervous system, that G
stome's Eye Snuff, when frequently takes, must he of the greatest
benefit to the ....onsumer ; and, further, recommends its universal
adoption as a preventative.
