This railway will connect the north of Scotland with all the pro
posed and present railways in the south, and leads directly from
Aberdeen to Edinburgh and Glasgow. Its length will be about 50i
miles, and the distances from Aberdeen to the following important
places will be as follows, viz.:—
To Edinburgh, via Arbroath, Dundee, and through Fife 125 Miles
Ditto, via Forfar, Perth, and Stirling 157
To Glasgow, via Forfar, Perth, and Stirling
Ditto via Dundee, Perth and Stirling ...... „ 157
The position of Aberdeen among the towns of Scotland is next
in importance to that of Edinburgh and Glasgow, and, with the
view of adopting the line best calculated to unite Aberdeen with
these and other populous cities, and to secure the most favourable
communication with the south, Mr. Cubitt, after a careful personal
survey has repotted his decided approval of the line now proposed,
and which may be described as follows :—From Aberdeen by
Stonehaven, Drumlithie, Laurencekirk, Marykirk, Dubton. near
Montrose, and Bridge of Dun near Brechin, to Friockheim and
Guthrie, points about seven miles from Arbroath and Forfar in the
present line of railway to these towns.
Mr Cubltt has further stated that this line is also the most fa.
vourable as regards the expense of construction, and that his esti-
mate of 908,0001. is fully sufficient for completing the undertaking,
including the plant and every other expense up to the opening of
the railway,
The Company will be in a situation to submit evidence to Par-
liament that the traffic will yield a return of 8 per cent. to the share-
holders.

After the Act is obtained, interest at the rate of 4 per cent. will
be:allowed upon the calls from the date of payment until the line
is opened for traffic.
The Parliamentary plans will be completed in time for deposit,
so that application may be made to Parliament for the Act next
session.

Copies of Mr. Cubitt's report and sketches of the line may be ob.
ained at the Company's offices, 2, Moorgate.street, London, where
applications for the remaining shares may be addressed to the Com
mittee. Applications may also be addressed to any of the under-

I Worcester.
The line from Worcester, with a branch to the Severn, is in-
tended to pass near the towns of Pershore, Evesham, Stratford-on.
Avon, Banbury, Bicester, and Aylesbury, and to join the London
and Birmingham Railway in the vicinity of Tring, which has been
found, on the whole, to be a more desirable point of junction for
public! accommodation than Weedon. The line from Rugby to
Oxford is intended to pass also by way of Banbury, and will form,
for about twenty miles, a portion of the main line from Worcester
to Tring. Whilst Worcester by these means will be brought within
a distance of 119 miles of the terminus of the London and Birming-
ham Railway at Euston.squate, the intermediate country will be
connected by the proposed line to Rugby with the eastern side of
the kingdom. On the other hand, Birmingham and the midland
and northern counties will be thus directly connected with Oxford
and the youth I
and, as a necessary result, the London and Bir-
mingham Railway Company will effect a Junction of their existing
Warwick and Leamington branch with the proposed lines,
Accurate surveys of the country have been made under the di-
rection and personal superintendence of Mr. Robert Stephenson,
who reports that it is free from any considerable engineering dif.
ficulties,
Estimates of the traffic has been prepared, showing a return upon
the expenditure sufficient to Induce the Directors of the London
and Birmingham Company to lease the line in perpetuity, which
they have agreed to do, with a guarantee of 4 per cent, per annum
to the Proprietors upon the outlay, and half the surplus profits.
A moiety of the shares Is reserved for the Proprietors of the
