,This Bp° of railw !y, will secure important advantages to the local
and commercial interests of North Wales : it will bring 'into close.
connexion the city and pore of Bangor, and the town arid port
Of Carnarvon. • ' • : ' • '

The line will thence proceed through the great mineral and slate dis-
tricts of Carnarvonshire, in the vicinityof Snowdon. I,lantieris, Nevin,
Pwllheli, to. Mirth Dvullaen, in the same county, situated in its
chief agricultural district. The whole length of the line is twenty-
eight
miles.
Perth Dynllaen is well known as a safe and commodious harbour,
possessing great natural advantages, and situated near the 'extremity
of,one of the headlands bounding Carnarvon Bay, Holyhead , forming
the other. . . , •

The harbonr possesses great advantages, as a harbour of refuge,
over every other port on the coast of North Wales, as is proved 1,,Y
the Custom-hoagie books of the, port. which show that no fewer than
3.315 vessels put in there for shelter during the years 1840; 1841,
1842,. and 1843. ' '
The commanding maritime importance of the situation will be evi-
dent. when it is considered that North Wales supplies nearly the
whole world with -Slate, and that this can be readily shipped
at Forth Dynllaen from all the principal quarries, including the
celebrated quarries of Penrhyn and DinorWig, under eircutustauces
which will reduce the :freights. to all parts of .the South of • Ireland,
South Wales, and the South of England, including London and
Bristol, to one-half of. their present amount. This is a fact unde-_
niable, as not only will a reduction of almost sixty miles be effected..
in the length of the voyage, but the dangerous bar of Cartiarvon„
and the hazardous navigation of the Swillies within the Straits will
be avoided, and a variety of • extra River dues saved.
The copper, lead, and-, other mines, and the valuable stone
quarries at the Rivals, recently opened by.a Liverpool Company, con-
tiguous to the proposed line of Railway, will also have thrown open
for their produce this advantageous means of transit t 6 the southern
markets, as well as an immediate railway conveyance to those ports
in direct communication with Liverpool, and consequently• with
large foreign markets, as well as those of Scotland, and the northern'
and midland counties of England. ,

, • ,
The population of Bangor and Carnarvon comprised In the electoral
districts, together with that residing on either side, and extremity in
the locality ofthe proposed line of Railway, amount to upwards of
40,000 persons.
The well-known scenery and antiquities-of North Wales have long
been objects of progressively increasing interest to a very large num-
ber of tourists and visitors during. the summer and autumn months ;
at which periods of the year five steam vessels per week run„betweert
Liverpool and Bangor ; - and it is on record, that in one year Bangor
was visited by 50,000 persons.
Upon this part of the subject it is important to notice that the
southern terminus of the•line will be directly opposite to the port of
Wicklow, whereby travellers will reach in the most direct manner
the celebrated scenery of the county of _Wicklow, while on this side
this Railway will facilitate immediate access to the romantic districts
of Rethgellert, Tremadoc, Llanberis, and Snowdon.
There are now five public means of conveyance passing daily be-
tweenjiangor,Camarvon, Llanberis, Nevin ,and PwlllielLand vice versa,
carrying on an average six passengers each way, which will produce
in a year 17,280. persons. There are kept' for the purpose of hire, at
Bangor, the Menai " Bridge, Carriarvon, and other places adjacent
to the line, 100 vehicles for public accommodation, which may be
fairly computed to convey three passengers per day for seven months
of the year, going from and returning to places which the line will
command, thus amounting to 100,800 persons. •
Of the population adjoining the line of Railway before stated,-
amounting to 40,000, it may be fairly estimated that those travel
daily on foot, 'and in their own means of conveyance, exclusive of
any additional allowance for market and fah' days, will supply a daily,
source of traffic equal to 60 persons; and calculating that . they will
return, they will amount in the year to 34,560 persons. • ,
There are two turnpike-gates between Bangor and .camarvon, the
tolls 'of which" for 'single horse vehicles are Is., being at the .rate of
lid. per mile. These gates were. let last year, eiclusiVe of the cost of
collettiOn, for 5211. per annum.
There are held in different parts of Carnarvonshire, adjacent-to this
Line,: more than forty fairs in the course of the year. The cattle,
sheep, and pigs, collected at these fairs are now driven to different •
parts of England, and form the great export of North Wales ; and it
is but reasonable. to suppose' that when a Railway coinnittnicatiOn
shall be established, that mode of conveyance will be preferred.
It was said by Sir Robert Peel, on his introduction of the tariff, that
the impoitation of cattle from' Ireland increased, in twenty years,
from 17,000 head into all the English ports, to 100,000 bead, into,
Liverpool alone. file, extensive chain of Railways now forming in
Ireland, and.the Completion of the proposed lines of Rallwiy between
Kingstown and Wicklow, and Waterford and Wicklow, will cause the
Irish cattle traffic; which at preSent enters England by Liverpool and
Bristol, to be concentrated on Forth Dynllien, the sea voyage be-
tween Wicklow and Forth Dynllaen being shortet, by five geographical
miles, than by any other ports in the English and Irish Channels ;
and shorter, by one-half, than between those ports which now enjoy
the Irish cattle' trade. .

" The course of thii Line by the engineer's report and sections, is
exceedingly favourable, both as respects gradients and the inexpensive
ehatacter of the works. The cost of the Railway, and of the pro-
posed irnproverherit of the Narbour,.does not exceed 300,0001.
The Plans,, Sections, and Books of reference have been duly de-'
posited in the proper d.partments, and application will be made for an
Act in the present session of Parliament.
Arrangements • have been made with responsible contractors to
complete the Railway within the engineer's estimates,' both as to
time and 'amount, and thus' the sufficiency of the capital' is placed
beyond a doubt.
In preparing the estimate of the returns to be expected, as shown
in the, traffic table subjoined, the calculation has been based with
much care upon the most authentic accounts it was possible o
procure. The result is highly satisfactory, an. the undertaking offers
stn eligible field for Investment,- the clear profits being found equal to
upwards of twelve per cent. on the capital to be employed,

"The London and York Railway will pass through the Town's of
Hatfield, Biggleswade, Huntingdon, Peterborough, Grantham,
Newark, Retford, Bawtry, Doncaster, and Selby. An East Lincoln-
shire Line will leave the North and South Trunk near Peterborough,
and will pass through Spalding, Boston, Lincoln, Gainsborough, and
Bawtry to She Meld—having a branch to Rotherham. There will be
a branch seven miles long from the,Main Line to Bedford; another
to Stamford ; from Doncaster a branch will be taken to Wakefield.
The distance ftom London to York will be reduced 331 miles ; to
Selby and Hull, 40 ; to Leeds, •20 ; to Wakefield, Halifax• Bradford,
and Huddersfield, 26 ; to Sheffield, 12 ; to Doncaster, 30 miles ; Ro-
therham, 10; Barnsky, 9, as compared with existing Railways."

" The London and will be ;even miles kingei than the Direct
Northern, but the whole distance will be accomplished in the Inane,
and perhaps even in less, time ; tbr the trains of the Direct Northern
must be considerably delayed at the branches proposed for the several
Towns which it leaves, from one to ten miles east and west of its
course ; it must also cross two opening bridges , which (independently,
of the danger), cannot fail to cause loss of time."
" The' London and York will be 14 miles shorter than the Cam-
bridge, Peterborough and Lincoln Direct Line to York; the latter is
to cross four opening bridges is to leave Huntingdon, Sleaford, Spal-
ding, Boston, Stamford, Grantham, Newark, Retford and Doncaster,
several miles to the east or west. •

" The London and York w ill be shorter than the Cambridge, Ely
and Boston Line (proposed by the Midland Railway Company, wlfich
leaves Peterborough and all the Towns upon the Great North Road,
except Bawtry and Doncaster, from 20 to 30 miles on the west of its
course), by 35 miles to York ; 45 to Selby and Hull; 41 to Wakefield ;
40 to Sheffield ; and 33 to Doncaster."

" The London and York will cross the projected Wakefield and
Goole Railway near Snaith."
The Railway is intended to provide for a- portion of Middlesex,
Hertfordshire, and Bedfordshire, and for the whole of Huntingdon-
shire, North Northamptonshire, Rutland, Lincolnshire, and North
Nottinghamshire, which at present have no such accommodation, a
direct railway communication with London southward, and with
Yorkshire mid Lancashire northward. This will be effected by a
main line passing through the centre of all these districts, excepting
Lincolnshire, and for that county the East Lincolnshire Line, above
described, is provided. The total length of new railway is 327 miles.
The area of country embraced by this scheme is 2,880,000 acres, and
eoutains a population of 600,000 and upwards.
The entire disposable produce annually raised within these districts
is sent southward to London, and northward to the north-Western
manufacturing districts by most circuitous routes, by canals or coast-
wise. Its annual value is above 6,000,0001., and in its transmission
to its markets it loses upon the average ten per cent. in cost of car-
riage and delays. The projected Railway would reduce this loss by
one half, and c"nfer a benefit upon the district equal to 300,0001. per
annum. It will also facilitate the transit of all articles and goods re-
ceived in return, which, estimated at one half the first amount, will
increase the annual benefit to 450,0001.
The xingle item of garden produce, in Bedfordshire, costs the pro-
ducers 20,0001. a year in carriage, whilst a railway would 'not only
give increased facilities, but save one half the cost of transit. The
public convenience in travelling afforded to a population of 600,000,
now compelled to travel post or by coach, must also be considered.
In thus' supplying these extensive districti with" Railways, tke
London and -York will also prove the most.dirOt pritetieel Line

S '4 9 FEBRUARY 13,

and all other NEWS in LONDON 0. to, that flout.

a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE.

To effect this saving of distance between 'the termini of thejro-
posed Railway, the
local convenience of the intermediate distric has
not been at all sacrificed. Every town of importance is either
touched by the Main Line or by a Branch.
• From Peterborough to Lincoln, the-Railroad will pass through the
most populous and productive part of Lincolnshire, without interfering
with private property, or the public drainage of the country; and
with the assent and good wishes of the Corporations 'of Lincoln and Roston, nd 'of the Canal Companies and Drainage Cominissionerii.
The supply of coal from the Yorkshire coal field-will by his
Railway reach the whole country
eastward between the proje ted
Line and the Sea. The population to which coal will be thus ch op-
ened will not be short of 1,000,000, and the average reduction of
price will not -be so little as ss. per ton. It has been found that the
consuruption of coal is equal to one ton per head of any given
amount of population. The public benefit in this particular will,
therefore, not be less than 250,0001. per annum. •
The London and York Line will be an integral and independent
Line throlighout It will have its London Terminus at King's-cross
(unquestionably the most central situation for the combined objects
of Passengers, Goods, and Cattle), and its York Terminus within
the City Walls, a few hundred yards from the present Railway
Station. It wUI,-however, communicate- with the Great North of
England, at York—the North Midland, near Normanton—the Leeds
and ',ll,fanehester, at Wakefield—and the Sheffield and Manchester,
at Sheffield—thereby completing
tion between Liverpool and Boston.
With
With reference to the sc the chain of Railway communica-
projected as rival Lines to the Lon-
sion and York, the accompanying '_table of Distances will explain
their relative length, and show that the London and York is by far
the shortest (except in the comparison of mileage with the Direct
Northern, upon the Trunk Line, between London and York). For
the entire trade of the district, the London and York is still shorter
than the Direct Northern. It runs directly from the agricultural
districts to the manufacturing markets and coal field ; whilst the
Direct Northern has no such connexion, except by the circuitous
route of the York and North Midland Lines. It also better suits. the
trade to the Southern market in London, because it extends thsougl. •
Peterborough directly into the heart of the feeding and corn-producing
district, whilst the Direct Northern passes away to the West. As
far, therefore, as the trade and supply of coal to the district is con-
cerned, the London and York has the entire superiority.
Even as a Main Trunk between London and York, though it is (as
has been carefully'ascertained) seven miles (but "not more than seven
miles) longer than the Direct Northern, yet it would work its trains
from London to York more expeditiously than its rival, from the cir-
cumstance of its having no drawbridge to pass, whilst the Direct
Northern has two such bridges also from its running through
almost all the towns of the' district, needing only two branehes—
whilst the Direct Northern, passing at a distance from nearly 'every
town, would require eight branches, varying from one to ten mils in
length. The time lost by passing two open bridges (to (ay nothing of
the danger). would. be more than that. necessary to run four miles ;
and ever branch involving at the, junction, either a change of car-
riages and luggage, or the taking on of fresh carriages, causes a delay
seldom so little a- five minutes : (practically felt at the Normatton
and Masbro' Midland Stations, at the Rugby, and every other Sta-
tion where lines meet). The time consumed in passing a first -Class
station where no branch joins, is not half that interval ; 'and the
.loss
of two-and,a-half minutes upon each of the six additional branches
of the Direct Northern, would be sufficient for running the whole
seven Mlles. Rut if tour miles be deducted -for the drawbridges, the
loss of one minute' at each of the six junctions would more than com-
pensate for the difference of mileage.
As a. Trunk Railway, therefore, without regard to the trade of the
district, the London and York would be the safer and more expedi-
tious of the two.
His needless, in the present state of public feeling against the an-
noyance and delays caused by short branches, to add, that every town
within the district is strongly opposed to any Line which does not pass
immediately through it.
With reference to the other rival lines—one by Cambridge direct to
Lincoln and thence direct to York—the other from Cambridge by Ely
and the coast by Boston, Lincoln, Doncaster, and South Milford to
York—the siiirPrined Table of DistanceS shows the first to be 14 miles
and the second 35 miles longer than the London and York, whilst
neither of them afford anything like equal accommodation to the trade
of the districts ; and both of them leave out of their consideration the
towns and-district of Huntingdon, Stamford, Grantham, Newark, and
Retford, and abandon the county of Bedford.
These Lines, however, are so well known to be purely obstruCtive
Lines, devised by a- combination of existing Railway interests, to 'pre-
vent the making of any new Line between London and York, which
would be more convenient to the Public than the Western Lines
through Derby, and the schemes are so devoid of public sympathy or
support, that it may be unnecessary ilirther to remark upon them.
The Distances marked are all by Rail, excepting:Where "road,"
is mentioned, and in such cases the total distance includes the road.

THE ENGLISH AT ADEN.
The Oriental and Peninsula steamer Bentinck arrived
at Aden on the morning of the 31st of December, having
111 passengers on board, amongst whom were Sir Ro-
bert and Lady Sale, Lord Elphinstone, and Prince Sol-
sikotf and suite. The Bentinck left for Calcutta at
half-past ten P.M. on the evening of the Ist of January.
Sir Robert Sale 'dined a ith her Majesty's 17th.
_The Imauin of Sanaa has' not ventured to leave his ca-
pital to attack Aden, as he is apprehensive of another
rebellion during his absence. Another avowed enemy
has appeared, in the person of the Sheriff of Mocha, to
dispute with us the possession of A den. He is now at
a place named Tais, 50 miles from Aden, where he has
collected. (reports, vary) from 15,000 to 30,000 well.
armed Arabs, of their best. tribes,- to attack us. He is
holing out every inducement to persuade the tribes
in the plain to join him. He has raised the green
standard, and called on every true believer to join
him in expelling the Infidel. This is not the
time to preach holy war, even amongst Arabs. A few
dollars, even with the most orthodox, have far more in-
fluence than the name of the Prophet. He assigns no
particular reason why he intends his attack, further than
that it is his intention to clear Arabia of the Christians.
It is exceedingly doubtful how far he will be able to pre-
vail over the independent tribes, either by force or pro-
mises, to assist him in what they so well know is a
hopeless cause. He may, however, give us much trouble,
and harass our troops, should he sit down on the plain
before the place, as we are not in force sufficient to
.go
out and attack him,though that I believe, even with our
small force, would 3e the better plan. We have a gar-
risou of about 1,800 bayonets ; but from the extent
and peculiar nature of the place, not more than one
hundred men can .be together in- any given place ;
add to which, the place .has _ been altogether ne-
glected. I regret, indeed, very much to say, that
no active measures have yet been adopted to even
commence the works. No experienced engineer has
yet been sent from India. Indeed, I should' strongly re-
commend, that as Aden is and will continue of growing
importance to, the Crown, engineers or a superintend-
ing engineer, should be forthwith orderedl from Eng-
land, to see the works at least commenced. Not that
We have not clever and very able engineers in India, but
the Government will not order tbem up. The Sheriff of
Mocha is the same individual who, three years ago, cut
down the English flag-staff and expelled" the British
Consul from that place, and who also wrote moat in-
sulting letters to 'the Indian Government, and to Captain
Haines, the Political Agent. This insult was submitted
to, and a fair opportunity lost of chastising'an insolent
petty chief who merely exists by the sufferance of the
British Government. Should be now be so infatuated
as to perpetrate an attack on our garrison, I trust he
01 not again be allowed to escape without his place
being levelled with the ground. The trade will then re-
vert to Aden. Should the anticipated attack take place,
I will furnish you with the detailed particulars.
The Arab who murdered the woman, as mentioned in
my last, was executed on the 18th ult., on the spot
where he committed the crime. An immense crowd
collected to witness the, act of retributive justice; and
though the punishment of hanging is .excessively ob-
noxious to Mussulmaas, and only a few policemen were
present, no excitement was observed amongst the people,
nor was one murmur of
.pity expressed in behalf of the
wretched man who thus ignominiously paid the penalty
of his unbridled passion.
The Hon. Company's steam-packet Berenice anchored
this morning at •half-past 9 with 38 passengers. She
left Bombay on the evening of the Ist, at half-past 11.
The Southern Mahratta country is still as unsettled' as
ever, though a force of upwards of 8,000 men still occupy
the country. Every Fort in the country should be
levelled with the ground, and the inhabitants disarmed.
Till some such measure is ad pted continued rebellions
may be expected, and when such extensive outbreakings
occur it is difficult to surmise where they may end. Had
even this partial rising en masse taken place at a time,
when all our troops, to a man, were so urgently required
for Sinde, how much would such an occurrence 'have
embarrassed the Government? Destroy the forts and
disarm the population, and then, but most decidedly not
till then, may we expect to tranquillise the country.
tier Majesty's 94th Regiment are in orders to relieve
h. ,r Majesty's 17th Regiment, now at Aden. They
were to embark on the 15th of January, and may be ex-
pected to reach Aden about the 10th proximo.
The small-pox, which appeared at Aden two months
since, and which proved fatal to several of the inhabi-
tants, has, owing to the judicious arrangements, nearly
disapp--ared, only one case now remaining in hospital.
All the troops are now healthy ; climate delightfully
cool and pleasant.
Sir Thomas M`Mahon resigns the command of the
Bombay army in February, and is to be succeeded by
Sir Charles Napier.
The Marquis de Ferriere le Vayer proceeds with this
mail to Paris with the treaty concluded between the
Emperor of China and the French Government. The
French have also concluded a treaty with the Imaum of
:Muscat at Zanzibar. The French are using every en-
deavour in their power to extend their colonies and rela-
tions in the Eastern seas, and are now about to take pos-
session of the island of Socotra, for which purpose se-
veral vessels of war have proceeded to that place.— Times.
