EXTENSION TO PORTGLENONE.
The cummittee of Management of this Company having received
from Messrs. Sherrard and Hall, their engineers, now engaged on the
Parliamentary survey, a most favourable report of these lines, have
determined on carrying out the extension from Ballymena to Port-
gleone.
The additional capital necessary for this purpose, and the improve-
ment of the harbour of Lame, will be 300,0001., which they propose
to raise by an issue of shares of 201. each. In the appropriation of
this additional stock, the shareholders in the original capital of this
line will be entitled to a preference, in proportion to the number of
shares held I,y them.
Applications for these shares, in the annexed form, may be ad-
dressed to the Committee of Mona :ement at this Office, on or before
the Ist day of November, immediately after which day the appropria-
tion will take place, in order that this committee may be enabled to
make the necessary arrangements for including this extension in
their Bill in the ensuing Parliament, for which the requisite prelimi-
' caries are being completed.

The establishment of the above railway will effect two great
and important objects :—first, the supply of the metropolis and its
vicinity with coal fully twenty per cent. cheaper than by the pre-
sent mode of transit: secondly, by the exclusion of passenger
traffic to diminish the risk of accidents. The Board of Trade, in
reference to the latter, have in their report upon the subject, laid
great stress on the importance of separating the passenger from
goods trains ; and the Select Committee of the House of Commons
on the coal trade recommend that every means of promoting a new
supply of coal should be encouraged. The existing lines for the
north being already crowded to excess with trains of every class,
travelling at velocities varying from fifteen to fifty miles per hour,
and new railways being almost daily projected as feeders to the
great trunk lines, the already prodigious traffic on those lines must
be still further augmented; so that it may be truly assumed,
that the addition thereto of several millions of tons of coals
and goods is out of the question. It, therefore, becomes
manifestly necessary, with a view to public convenience,
and to supply the metropolis and the intermediate districts
with coats from the coal fields in the north, from which at present
the greater proportion is supplied, that an independent railway,
devoted exclusively to the conveyance of coals and goods at a
moderate and regular speed, should be constructed from Newcastle
to London. It is, therefore, intended to confine this railway to
carriage of coals and goods only ; and it is ascertained that the
conveyance by railway of large quantities, for long distances, at a
moderate speed, and at comparatively low rates, will be as profitable
as the carriage of passengers at a greater velocity, The actual ex-
perience of the London and Birmingham Railway affords a safe
ground for calculation; the expenses on that line for the year 1844
being 1,4721. per mile; at the same rate per mile, 2,000,000 tons of
coal annually may be brought the entire distance from Newcastle;
this quantity is about one-half of the present importation from
London, making on the average from 13,000 to 14,000 tons
daily.
The extreme fluctuations to which the price of coal is subject
from irregularity in the supply, dependent as it is on the uncer-
tainty of the winds and weather, has hitherto operated against the
estabishment of manufactories on the banks of the Thames. From
the same cause, also, London has, at Units narrowly escaped total
darkness, the gas works not being able to obtain their regular
supply of coals. In the course of the last five years the prices of
household coal, on the Coal Exchange, have fluctuated between
14s. 6d. to 275. per ton, and last winter the price rose even to 355.
per ton ; the high prices always occurring at a season when the
scarcity, and consequently increased price of coal, is most distress-
ing to the poor.
The removal of the colliers from the Pool is an important con.
sideration, as it will necessarily render the navigation of the
Thames safer for all other vessels: and it is no valid oljection
to this undertaking, that it will supersede, in a great measure
the employment of collier ships, because it is now ascertained, be-
yond all doubt, that coals can be brought to London by railway at
20 per cent less than those sea-borne; and, therefore, London kill
be supplied from Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and South
Wales, unless the present project, or one offering equal advantages
to the northern coal owners, in their certain and fast approaching
competition with the Infant collieries, be carried into effect.
In addition to the through traffic, accommodation will be afforded
to the intermediate districts for the conveyance of coals and goods,
which will materially increase the revenue of the Company.
The estimated cost of the line is 5,000,0001, and the traffic, In
coals alone, will give a net return of 10 per cent.
It is proposed to raise the required capital in 200,000 shares of
251. each ; deposit 9/.. 12s. 6d. per share, the subsequent calls to be
made In the usual way.
The customary clauses will be inserted in the Act, limiting the
liability of the shareholders to the amount of their respective
shares.
Interest, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum will be allowed
on all calls between the passing of the Act and the opening of tha
railway,
The Committee, with the view of enabling responsible parties
(desirous to participate in the allotment) to secure at least some
shares in this great undertaking, will permit the payment of a pre..
liminary deposit of 10a. 6d. per share previous to application being
made; and will guarantee that the parties so paying, shall have
shares allotted them, to at least the number upon which the sum
paid by them as a preliminary deposit, shall cover the full deposit
of 2/. 12s. 6d. They, however, reserve to themselves the right of
limiting this privilege to the extent of 100 shares, if a larger
number should be applied for, or even of refusing it, in cases
where they may find, on Inquiry that the applicant is not in their
