That another and a more direct line of railway is necessary between
the metropolis and the manufacturing districts around Manchester, is
now fully admitted, and the question is, which is the best line to bo
adopted.
The above proposed railway will form the shortest and most di-
rect route from Loudon to Manchester, and will therefore complete
the direct communication with the metropolis at a much less expen-
diture of capital than by either of the projected London and Man-
chester lines (Remington's and Ashurst's), the actual distance to be
constructed being only 73, instead of 170 to 180 miles.
A careful preliminary survey has determined the promoters of this
railway to adopt nearly a straightline from Rugby to Macclesfield, as
an increased expenditure 0f200,0001. or 300,0001. judiciously applied in
the present perfected state of civil engineering, and at the reduced cost
of the execution of earth works, will prove in the end a far greater
real economy, both to the Company Itself in the saving effected in
the c.nnual expense of working, and also, what is of more importance,
to the country in general, by accomplishing, at a much less cost, the
same end proposed by an entire and distinct line from London to
Manchester. _

.••_. saw •
These considerations have not been sufficiently kept in view by
other parties who have also proposed to make a railway from Rugby
to Macclesfield, but who, by deviating from the direct tract to pursue
valleys and to avoid the irregularities of the face of the country,
obviously lose the advantages proposed by this Company.
The Parliamentary decision on the choice of the London and Brighton
Railway is a parallel case, the direct line, although presenting more
difficulties to overcome, and involving a greater outlay, having been
adopted by Parliament in preference to the many competing projects,
in a more or less sinuous direction, which were at that time supported
in the House by very influential parties.
Should it be found necessary, arrangements have been made by
which additional lines of rails will be laid between Rugby and Lon-
don on the London and Birmingham Railway, whereby the surplus
traffic northwards will be abundantly provided for.
This line also possesses the singular advantage of affording the
shortest and most direct route from Manchester to Southampton,
Gosport, and Portsmouth, a feature presented by no other proposed
railway. By adopting the Rugby and Oxford branch of the Great
Western as far as Didcot, and thence the proposed Oxford, Southamp-
ton, Gosport, and Portsmouth line, the distance from Manchester to
Southampton will be twenty-three miles less than by any other route,
and on this account the project has been warmly supported by the
Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth Railway Company.
The deviations from a perfectly straight line between Rugby and
Macclesfield to avoid high ranges of hills, ornamental parks, or
valuable buildings are very slight, and the line in general offers no
engineering difficulties of any magnitude. The towns more directly
interested as a local line are Nuneaton, Hinckley, Atherstone, Market
Bosworth, Burton-upon-Trent, Tutbury, Ashboume, and Leek.
The Company has made arrangements with the North London
Junction Railway Company, whereby it has secured the use of their
station (of the extent of six acres) in the centre of the City of London,
at the bottom of Moorgate-street, which win prove of the utmost
importance to this line.
Amidst the many railway projects that now occupy the public
mind, and involve a vast outlay of capital, it will readily be conceded
that a line that will attain such important results at so small an
outlay of capital, and the time required for its construction, and
without interfering with any existing vested interests, must meet
with general approbation, and at the same time offer a very excellent
investment for capital.
The shareholders in the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Ports-
mouth, in the London and Birmingham, and in the Manchester and
Birmingham Railways, will have a preference in the allotment of
the shares.
The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share-
holders beyond the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament is
obtained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 41. per cent.
interest in all calls.
Application for detailed prospectus, maps, and shares, may be
made to the Secretary, at the Offices, 78, King William-street, City,
London, and at 22, Cross-street, Manchester; and the following

While two gigantic projects are struggling for victory, which, if
obtained, would inevitably prove fruitless, the dense and wealthy
population between Lincoln and York, anti between Lincoln and
Leeds, are left unsupplied with railway accommodation. Not less
ambitious cf accomplishing a great public benefit, the projectors of
the Lincoln, York, and Leeds Junction Railway have adopted Lin-
coln (with 30,000 inhabitants), York (with 40,000), and Leeds (with
152,000), as the termini of their line ; and, calculating upon the ulti-
mate success of the Cambridge and Lincoln Bill in the ensuing ses-
sion of Parliament, propose to complete the whole line of rail from
London to York and Leeds by the execution of this design.
Leaving Lincoln, the proposed line will be taken by Saxelby and
Lea to Gainsborough, where it will cross the Trent, and thence to
Haney-gate, whence a branch will issue to Doncaster. At this lat-
ter place a communication will be formed with projected lines from
Manchester and Sheffield to the port of Goole ; and by this arrange-
ment a communication will be opened with the inexhaustible coal
fields of Eisecar and Silkstone—a spe des not inferior to that of Dur-
ham and Sunderland—as well as with the limestone quarries at
Warmsworth, so valtutble for building purposes. . .

Proceeding to Thorne, the line rcttielies.Snaith, and, continuing its
direct course westward to Selby, near to which it is crossed by the
Hull and Selby Railway, will have its northern terminus at the city
of York.

At Thorne, or some convenient point near to it, an auxiliary line
will emanate from the main trunk to Askern, and either by means
of the proposed branch to the Wakefield, Pontefract and Goole line
to that place, or by an independent course, as may hereafter be deter-
mined upon, will run through Pontefract direct to Leeds. By this
means the whole of the manufacturing districts of the West Riding
of Yorkshire and Lancashire will be rendered easily accessible.
This line will be the shortest between Lincoln and York ; Lincoln
and' Leeds ; Lincoln and Selby ; York and Selby; and York and
Hull.

The gradients throughout the line are so favourable, that none exceed
15% feet in the mile, an instance unparalleled, if the length of it be
taken into consideration. There will be no tunnels ; the works will
everywhere be light; no invasion of ornamental property is neces-
sary; and the local interests have expressed themselves favourable to
the project.

_
From the combination of advantages, facilities, and patronage
from the great breadth of new country to be supplied with railway
accommodation—moderate cost of labour on the line—enormous
supply of materials, and encouraging traffic returns—an interest of
ten per cent. on vested capital is confidently expected, exclusive of a
fair allowance for working expenses.
Power will be taken in the Bill to allow interest at the rate of four
per cent. on all deposits.
The plans and sections of the Lincoln, York, and Leeds Company,
being now in the possession of the promoters of this Company, an
immense saving of expense will thereby be gained.

This Company is formed to supply the valuable island of Trinidad
with the advantages of railway communication.
No part of the British dominions appears to present greater natural
facilities for their construction, or to afford a better prospect of return
for the capital required to be invested.
From the time that the island was ceded to the British Crown, ar
the peace of Amiens, it steadily advanced until the abolition of
slavery, when it sustained a severe check, in common with the other
colonies, though its production was not diminished in the same pro-
portion. The fertility of its soil, and the high wages of labour, have
since that period attracted emigrants from all parts, and especially
from the other West India Islands—so that cultivation has been
gradually restored, as will be seen by the official statement of exports
And, according to the census lately taken, the population appears to
have increased in the same period fifty per cent.
As the arrangements now made for encouraging
immigration pro-
mise to bring a large accession of labour into the colony, so there is
every probability that its production will be Progressively aug-
mented. It may be doubled without any addition to the existing
establishments : and it is capable of indefinite extension, there being
still in the possession of the Crown upwards of a million of acres of
the finest virgin land within the tropics. With the increase of popu-
lation, and the prosperity of agriculture, there would of course be a
corresponding increase of traffic.
In forming a system of railway communications which will suit the
present condition of Trinidad, and which will yield an immediate re-
turn, it is, therefore, desirable to contemplate their gradual extension
with the advancement of the colony.
An outline of such a plan has been submitted to the Secretary- of
State for the Colonies ; and, although no conclusive arrangement can
be made without the assent of the Legislative Council of the island,
Lord Stanley has intimated that "he is willing to give every en-
couragement he can to the proposed undertaking, consistently with
his duty of watching over the interests of the colony, and that he
will recommend the subject to the favourable consideration of the
Local Government."

Under this recommendation it is expected that a gre.--
land, as well as all the timber, which may be required for the con-
struction of the railways, and the works connected therewith, will be
obtained gratuitously from the Crown ; and it is also confidently be-
lieved that individual proprietors will in like manner grant the land
for the lines that may intersect their estates. The precise course -of
these lines will depend, in some degree, upon this encouragement.
It is further anticipated that liberal grants of Crown lands, contiguous
to the railways, will be made in connexion with their progressPre
extension.
These concessions, while justly made in consideration of important
public advantages, will be of great value to the Company, both im-
mediately and prospectively.
As the Company will be able to conduct the transport of produce,
and the conveyance of passengers, at one-third, or even one-fourth,
of the present expense (which appears to be from three to four
shillings per ton per mile), with the additional advantage of cer-
tainty at all seasons, and protection from waste and plunder, there
can be no doubt that their railways will command the whole of the
existing traffic in the districts which they are to traverse, as well as
any increase which may arise.
It appears that a single line, with passing places, sufficient to ac-
commodate four-fifths of the cultivated parts of the colony, may be
constructed for the amount of capital now proposed; and upon a
careful examination of the probable revenue, the Provisional Com-
mittee are satisfied that it will yield a large return.

It is proposed that the Engineer of the Company shall proceed
forthwith to Trinidad, accompanied by an adequate number of Sur-
veyors, for the purpose of surveying the intended lines ; and that no
plan shall be finally adopted until he makes a detailed report. He
will be put in communication with an influential and intelligent
Committee in the colony, who will afford the most cordial co-opera.
