The importanee of establishing the most direct railway communi-
cation between Leeds and Carlisle, and, by means of the Caledonian
Railway, between Carlis e, G'asgow, and Edinburgh, is too self-
evident to roquire anything to be urged in its support.
The existing and projected lines of railway in Yorkshire, which
pursue a westerly or north-westerly direction, are intended rather to
benefit particuiar towns 'and districts, than to effect this object. The
present railway accomplishes it to the utmost possible extent.
The line now proposed proceeds by the Leeds and Thirsk Railway
(for which an Aet has been already obtained) up Wharfedale to
Otley, Kettlewell, and Hawes, thence it passes through or near
Kirby Stephen and Appleby, uniting with the Lancaster and Carlisle
Railway near Penrith. A branch from Otley to Bradford will
extend to that important town the advantages of the undertaking.
In comparison with the existing lines the Leeds and Carlisle Railway
will effect a saving of more than forty miles ; and it is considerably
shorter than any other projected line. The great national and local
importance of the Railway will be evident.
It affords the shortest and most direct route between the manufac-
turing metropolis of Yorkshire and the commercial metropolis of
Scotland; and through the medium of the railways which have their
termini in Glasgow and Edinburgh, the line will be connected with
the several Scotch Trunk lines, extending from these cities to the
northern, western, and eastern counties.
The traffic in goods between Leeds and Glasgow alone (independ-
ently of that with the other towns and ports in Scotland) is of a very
large amount ; and the facilities afforded by the proposed line will
necessarily attract to the intermediate towns, and to Scotland gene-
rally, the supply of goods from the manufacturing districts in York-
shire.

The distance between Leeds and London will be very materially
reduced by the lines already in progress through Parliament, and the
Leeds and Carlisle must necessarily form a portion of the Trunk
Railway for the traffic between London and Scotland.
The line will connect Hull and the Humber directly with the Sol-
way Firth, a mercantile object of vary considerable importance.
A new and cheap mode of transit will be obtained for the extensive
agricultural produce of the rich vales through which the line passes,
and which produce, at present, notwithstanding the demand in the
manufacturing districts cannot be forwarded to the different markets
for want of railway communication. A large and profitable traffic
will be derived from the produce of the extensive mineral districts
opened by the line, and the working of which has hitherto, in some
instances, been rendered impracticable by the cost of transit, and in
all has been greatly impeded.
A survey has been made, and the Parliamentary plans and sections
are in progress, and the engineers have undertaken to have them
completed in the course of next month.

DUNDALK AND SLIGO RAILWAY.

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.

This line will traverse a rich and popUlous district, as yet perfectly
untouched by any railway undertaking. The vast importance of the
project will be readily understood by the most cursory reference to
the position and statistics of the several counties through which the
proposed lines will pass.

The county of Leitrim is at this moment in process of be-
coming the rival of many other counties in Ireland, and
the advantages it must derive from the operations of the
Shannon Commissions are obvious. The River Shannon has
heretofore been an utterly neglected medium of communication
between the internal districts of the country; and, as regards
Leitrim and Cavan, this desideratum has not been supplied by any
railway project whatever. The proposed line will commence at
Dundalk, in the county of Louth, and by the shortest and most direct
course imaginable, will traverse and connect the counties of Louth,
Cavan, Leitrim, Roscommon, and Sligo, and open the communication
between the port of Sligo in the west, and Dtualalk in the east. • The
tOandonment of the Great North-Western Line, consequent upon the
report of the Board of Trade of the Kells Branch not having been
ceded to the Dublin and Belfast Junction Company, by reason of its
not being a national adjunct to the latter line, leaves at this moment
the whole of the county of Meath utterly devoid of any railway com-
munication with the adjoining counties.
The projected line IN:11 pass in its direct course within twenty
miles of Kells, and the branch to that tow.a, which it is in contem-
plation to construct, will pass the important towns of Balieborough
and Virginia, Kells and Trim, forming a junction with the Mullin-
gar line at Longwood. The traffic tables of the Great North
Western exhibit the largest section of the trade to exist between the
above-mentioned towns, and the profit upon the undertaking must
consequently be presumed to be much greater than on the proposed
Great North Western line.

A detailed prospectus will be published in the course of a few days,
with the list of the Provisional Committee. In the interim, applica-
tions are to be addressed to the Secretary, Robert Ralph Ryley,
Esq., at the offices of the Company, 41, Aloorgate-street, London.
