PARLIAMENTARY AGENTS.--3.lessrs. Archibald Graham Moncrieff
and Weems.
The Caledonian Railway has been recommended by the Board of
Trade as the best trunk communication through Scotland, and may
confidenly be expected to receive the sanction of Parliament in the
present session.
The proposed Extensions are as follows—first, from a point on the
Caledonian Railway, near Lanark, eastward, along the valley of the
e
Tweed, by Peebles. Galashiels, and Melrose, to Kelso,
where it
been arranged with Mr. Hudson that a joint station will be
y, overtf
with the Newcastle and Berwick Company ; and secondl
ward, by Muirkirk to Ayr and Kilmarnock.
A direct communication, northwards and southwards, by means of
the trunk line, will thus be secured to those important districts, the
expediency of which has been pointed out by the Board of Trade,
for the full development of the Caledonian system.
Numerous and influential meetings have been already held in those
important districts, loudly calling for railway accommodation, and
offering every facility and support.
The Extension to the cast will accommodate the richest agricul-
tural districts in Scotland with timber, slate, coal, lime, and other
minerals, in all which articles they aro in themselves wholly desti-
tute ; while the Western Extension of the Caledonian, as well as the
trunk line, intersect tracts of country remarkable
produce for theirfrom mineral
the
resources, but requiring a supply of agricultural
east, for the immense population engaged In manufactures and mines.
When Mr. Telford made a survey of a line from Glasgow to
Kelso and Berwick, in 1810, being the first projected railway in Scot-
land, he reported that "it might be easily and cheaply made," and
that " no districts can be better calculated for an interchange of pro-
duce, and for promoting each other's prosperity."
He further remarks that " The whole distance from Berwick to
the water summit being 7714 miles, and the total rise 753 feet (passed
which
is considerably higher than the summit now proposed to be
over), the average inclination is under 10 feet in a mile, or 1 in 528.
" Inclinations so very easy over spelt extensive districts of country
will enable the intercourse by means of railway to be carried on in
both directions at a comparatively small expense, and it will appear
stilt more perfect when it is considered that the heavy articles of coal
and lime are all to be passed downwards."
The Western Extension will form the shortest and most direct
communication from Edinburgh to Kilmarnock and the seaport towns
of Ayr and Troon, and thence to Ireland.
The Glasgow, Dumfries and Carlisle scheme, which has been re-
ported against by the Board of Trade, proposed partially to open up
the resources of Ayrshire, but afforded no access from thence to
Lanark and Edinburgh, or to Kelso, and Berwick, whilst the Cale-
donian Extension Railway, in fulfilment of the anticipations of the
Board of Trade, will accomplish all these objects, and at the same
time afford an equally good route southwards. ,
COST AND SURVEY.
The length of Railway which it is necessary to construct for th
accomplisinnent ot tits wpm. i e
be about 104 miles ; and, from surveys already made and an estimate
given by Mr. Locke, the Committee are assured that the Capital of
1,500,0001. will be sufficient to cover the whole expense.
TRAFFIC.
The traffic will embrace—lst. on the Eastern portion, the carriage
of the whole minerals required for the extensive manufacturing dis-
tricts around Galashiels, Ilawick, Melrose, and Selkirk, consisting of
timber, slate, coal, lime, lead, and iron, which must be conveyed to
them on this Railway ; whilst their vast woollen manufactures, con-
sisting of tweeds, blanketting, shawls,
.plaidings, &c. &c. as well as
raw material, must pass in return; and 2,1, the conveyance of
agricultural produce from the highly-cultivated South-eastern districts
of Scotland and Northumberland to the dense population and
mining and manufacturing districts of the West. Upon a calculation,
based upon Mr. Teori's estimate, it can be shown that, at the
present day, a returnlf of upwards of five per cent. may be reckoned
upon from those sources alone, after deducting forty per cent. for
eXpenses.
On the Western portion of the line to Ayr and Kilmarnock, a very
large mineral and goods traffic may be relied on, independent of the
Eastern Extension.
From they ery highly-important districts which those lines in-
tersect, a very large passenger-traffic may be calculated upon, not
only of a local, but of a general nature.
Front, these sources the Committee feel themselves justified In cal-
culating on an ample return for the capital required.
The Subscribers' agreement will contain powers to the Provisional
Directors to be thereby appointed to fax the precise extent and course
of the line, and the position of the termini, as circumstances may
render desirable, and powers will be taken in the Act of Parliament
to grant a lease of the works to the Caledonian Railway Company at
a rent of four per cent. and one half of the surplus profits.
Application for shares to be made to Messrs. Foster and Braith-
wite, Lndon, Brokers, 64, road-treet, with whom copies of the
Prospectus and maps of the linße wills be lodged on and after 16th inst.

undertaking This . connecting itself at Chesterfield with tbe ex-
field, Southw-ell, through SIMS-,
ton, will form a continuous and direct communication between the
agricultural and producing districts of Nottinghamshire and the
South-Eastern parts of the kingdom, as far as the sea coast on the
one hand, and the large consuming towns and districts of West
Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cheshire, and the Port of Liverpool on
the other.
A careful examination of the country through which this Line will
pass, by Engineers of acknowledged eminence, enables the pro-
moters to state, that it may be constructed with facility, and that Its
character is such as to justify a confidence that it must prove highly
remunerative to the Proprietary, taking into consideration the great
amount of traffic which must necessarily pass along it, whether as
regards passengers, merchandise, and agricultural produce, or mi-
nerals, inasmuch as the district is not provided with any means of
transit beyond the ordinary turnpike roads.
This Line, intended to communicate with the existing Mansfield
and Pinxton Railway at Mansfield, will form the nearest and most di-
rect route that can be made, between the agricultural districts to the
east and south-east of Newark, at d the great central coal-fields of
Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, and thus enable the inhabitants of
those extensive districts to supply themselves with coals of every
quality at considerably less than two-thirds of the present price.
The whole country, north, south, and east, will, by this Railway,
and the others with which it will communicate, be brought within
easy reach of the well-known quarries of building stone with which
the district of Mansfield and Mansfield Woodhouse abounds; as well
as with the lime produced in that neighbourhood, so celebrated for
building and other purposes.
A deposit of 11. 10s. per Share must be paid on the allotment of
Shares, and the liability of Subscribers will be Hun ed by the Act
of Parliament to the amount of their respective Shares.
Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at the rate of 41.
per cent. per annum on the deposits, as well as on all future calls,
from the date of each payment till the opening of the whole line, or
until a dividend be declared.
The Shares, and all payments made thereon, will be forfeited,
without notice, should the holders thereof not sign the Subscriber's
Agreement, and Parliamentary Contract, as soon as required
to do so.
References will be required from all applicants for Shares who
are not known to some Members of the Cominittee, or the Solicitors.

This project, whether viewed as a means of private investment, or
as a great public undettakirig, presents advantages seldom equalled.
Forming a junction at Stourport with the London, Worcester, and
South Staffordshire Railway, the proposed Railway will pass up the
valley of the Severn, and through, or in the immediate neighbour-
hood of, Bewdley, Kidderminster, Bridguorth, 'Much Wenlock,
Madeley, Iron-bridge, Coal Brook Dale, to Shrewsbury, and thence
near Market Drayton; Atidlern, and Nantwich, to Crewe, where it
will terniimate'by a 'junction 'with the Manchester and Birmingham,
and Grand Junction
Besides giying!the• above exceedingly populous and thriving placeS
the benefit of a direct communication with each other, and railway
accommotlatiola to a district nevi entirely destitirte of it, the proposed
railway will. alsO. establish tile • shortest route from the • Nortir of
England, Manchester; 'Liverpool, .Iteland, Holyhead, Noith Wales,
;and Chester ' (through Shrewsbury), to Worcester, Cheltenham,
Gloucester, 500th -Wales, 13ristol,• Bath; Exeter, Falmorith, and the
south-western counties, and moreover_ will form the- high-road into
.the centre of Wales,frorn the northern and midland counties. •
Thus, the manufactures and minerals of the extensive-and rapidly
increasing' iron works, and collieries of Shropshire, and the salt' works
•of Cheshire, as well as the, inn: dense agricultural produce from those
counties, the Valley of the' Severn, Herefordshire, and the .centre of
Wales, will reach the: markets . and ports of Laneashire.•Worcester-
shire,- Gloucestershire; Devonshire, and Cornwall; by a" rapid' and
chop „transit. •. : • - .• .. .
It is considered that the present traffic between the various towns
on the line of die proposed railway 'will 'secure profitable return
upon the capital ; but when the increase which will arise from' the
completion of the railway, and the through-traffic consequent thereon
are taken into : account; there can be no doubt that the undertaking
will prove one of the most dcAlrable investments in the kingdom. -
As the line from Stourport to Shrewsbury will traverse the Valley
of the Severn, the works in that district must of necessity be light
and easy ;' the country also between Shrewsbury' and Crewe is well
adapted for the construction of a railway. • •

To the PROPRIETORS of the BRITANNIA LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY.
GENTLEMEF,—In calling your attention to the annexed Notice of
the establishment of a Mutual Assurance Branch, I beg lea'e to
address a few observations to you relative to the past transactions,
-and the probable result of the proposed extension of the operations of
the Company. , , -
That the " Britannia" Company has enjoyed the decided and (I
trust I may be permitted to say) deserved approbation of the-public,
is clearly proved by the unprecedented fact of upwards of 6,000
policies having been issued in the short space of eight years. In
order, however, to show the high degree of credit and influence pos-
sessed by, the Company, it is only necessary for me to state, that two
highly respectable and well-established Life Assurance Companies
have successively transferred their business to this establishment.
former 'of these transfers took place in the year 1840 -the
consequence of this last-mentioned transfer, which included

' Another serious objection to the Mutual Assurance flan (as
rally acted on) is the high rate of premiuni required to be paid, in
gene-
the flat instance; in order to forma fund—nOf only for the payment
uoijcy!holders. This objection also is 'poirily removed by means.of
the half credit system detailed in the prospectus. • For, by filloning
hagthe amount of the first five annual premiums to remain for five
, years in the hands of the person assured, and applying the bonus (to
• of the claims, but also for the distribUtion.of
' • which he would otherwise become entitled) to the gradual Nitwit:
than of-the • debt • thus incurred with the Company, the policy-holder
enjoys the rare advantage of a very ow rate ,of premium, in the lifst
instance; combined with that of a full participation; eventually;in
the profits. • • .
In availing myself of this opportunity Of congratulating ri ly Co-
shareholders nn the extraordinary success' which hitherto has at-
tended the operations of the Britannia 'Lire Assurance Company, I
trust Pshall, at no very distant period, have still ftirther to congratu-
late them on the complete success of the: Mutual Assurance Branch,
which, after the most anxious care and attention, has been founded
on a plan calculated, in every Possible way, to benefit and accommo-
date the public.
I cannot, in justice to the Directors, ConclUde this :Wren without
calling your attention to the able and Cordial co-Operation which has
been afforded to me on their part, not only on the present important
occasion, but also in ,every other instance in which their advice and
assistance assistance have Wen needtbl for promoting the interests of the I a
