The Caledonian Railway has been recommended by the Board of
Trade as the best trunk communication through Scotland, and may
' conliderrly 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
Tweed, by Peebles. Galashiels, and Melrose, to Kelso, where it has
been arranged with Mr. Hudson that a joint station will be formed
with the Newcastle and Berwick Company; and secondly, west-
, 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 hare been already held in those
important districts, loudly calling for railway accommodation, and
offering every facility and support.
The Extension to the oast will accommodate the richest agricul-
tural districts in Scotland with timber, slate, coal, lime, and other
minerals, in all which articles they are in themselves wholly desti-
tute ; while the Western Extension of the Caledonian, as well as the
trunk line, intersect tracts of country remarkable for their mineral
resources, but requiring a supply of agricultural produce ftom the
east, for the immense population engaged in manufactures and mines.
When Mr. Telford made a surrey of a line ftom 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 re arks that " The whole -distance from Berwick to
the water summit being 7714 miles, and the total rise 753 feet (which
is considerably higher than the summit now proposed to be passed
over), the average inclination is under 10 feet in a mile, or 1 in 528.
" Inclinations so very easy over such 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
still 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 ffilfilment 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.
accomplishment of the roTennipo"PaNCTßA, stRAP-4LICLAIr fllfl
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, liawick, 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, Sce. &c. as well as
raw material, must pass in return; and 2d, 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. Telford's estimate, it can be shown that, at the
present day, a return of upwards of five per cent. may be reckoned
upon from those sources alone, after deducting forty per cent. fbr
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 the very 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.
From 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 fix the precise extent and course
of the line, and the position of the termini, as circumstances may
render desirable, and powers will be takcu 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-
waite, London, Brokers, 64, Broad-street, with whom copies of the
Prospectus and maps of the line will be lodged on and after 16th inst.

DUPREZ AT DRURY-LANE.
Duprez is delighting the public again
Off the stage of the Theatre Royal Drury-lane;
And thousands admire the vo alist's skill,
Which calms the house every evening to fill.
The surprising effect which he gives to a song
Iles met with unequalled success all along.
Our reason for mentioning Duprez in print,
Is clearly displayed in the following hint :
This singer, whose voice can he rivalled by none,
Should sing a choice song for E. MOSES and SON.
Such extensive commercial achievements as ours
Are r uited to such a choice vocalist's powers;
What thousands of people would throng Drury-lane,
If Duprez were to sing Messrs. MOSES a strain ;
And how would the crowding assemblage rejoice,
To hear him thus nobly employing his voice.
A V•ing such as this might be very soon done.
For the words Gould be written by MOSES and SON;
And the wonderful singer himself could prepare
A touching, a hold, and a suitable air.
Such words and such music, with choice adaptation,
Would obtain for the singer increasel approbation;
And a merited honour would also be done
To the trading achievements of MOSES and SON.
A new work, entitled " THE LEVIATHAN OF TRADE," with
full directions for Self-Measurement, may be had on application,
or forwarded post-free.
